Korean Skincare Tryouts

I've been trying a few of Korean skincare since two months ago. I never thought to try the Korean skincare, to be honest. It started when I got a sample from  when I did my shopping at Aritaum store. They gave me IOPE Bio Hydro Cream samples. Since, I don't have a night cream that time, so why not just used it. After using it, I'm a bit surprised after a week that I can see some good results. It moisturizes my face without weighing it down. Since then, I'm interested in the Korean skincare product. I keep googling about it and stumble to the 10-step  Korean skincare routine. Yes, you read it right girl :) 10-step routine. Because I'm a newbie of Korean skincare routine/product, I bought a few samples to try out.

ELIZAVECCA Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask | $9

I saw people using this from Facebook and this product got many good feedbacks. I ordered it online from MEMEBOX. This clay mask is a bubble mud pack that provides pore cleaning and blackhead removal and suitable for almost all skin types, especially oily. It cleans my skin well and also a lot of fun to use. The bubbles tingle, but it's hard to wash off, though.

[CLOUD 9] Blanc de Whitening Cream | $3.28

This samples I bought it from eBay. People have been raving about this whitening cream, how it genuinely brighten skin tone. My face is darker than my hand and thought maybe I should try this. It did help lighten up my skin tone. Unfortunately, it breaks me out. So, I stop using it.

I bought all the skincare from BeautynetKorea, and they gave me six samples.

1. ETUDE HOUSE Pink Vital Water Special Trial Kit | $7.99 

-Pink Vital Water Facial Toner                              -Pink Vital Water Serum

-Pink Vital Water Emulsion                                   -Pink Vital Water Cream

I really love this trial kit. After face washing, I'll pat amount of the toner. Then, I'll apply the serum, emulsion, and cream. It does it job of keeping the face moisturizes without the heavy feel of product layer over my face. This kit was great just to get a feel of how this product works without committing to the entire set. 

2. MIZON All in One Snail Repair Cream Sample 20pcs | $4.99

I have been using this cream for almost three weeks and loved it so far but still this cream can't beat the IOPE Bio Hydro Cream. At first, I was a little bit grossed out. 92% snail mucus? It plumps my oily to normal skin. This cream also for anti-aging, fine wrinkle, blemish, acne scar and pore care. But it does contain alcohol, though.

3. MISSHA Time Revolution [First Essence + Night Repair Ampoule] Sample 10pcs | $5.78

Missha Essence is highly recommended by many as it has skin brightening properties which many compare to the popular SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. Night repair ampoule is great for a spot treatment to reduce the sign of aging, improve skin elasticity and protect barrier function.

4. CARENEL Aqua Water Sleeping Mask 15ml 2pcs | $5.69

Actually, I bought this by mistake. I'm in a hurry when I ordered the skincares, and I thought this is the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask  since they have a similar blue package. I'm so disappointed that I don't even bother the see difference after using it. 

Samples

1. TONYMOLY Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack

2. TONYMOLY Prestige Jeju Wild Ginseng Cream

3. TONYMOLY The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream

4. SECRET KEY Snow White Toning Cream

5. TONYMOLY The Hayan Cherry Blossom Brightening Essence

6. TONYMOLY Prestige Jeju Snail

NATURE REPUBLIC Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera Foam Cleanser | $6.98

I ordered this from eBay and got some samples. I had been using drugstore face wash for years with OK results. But this cleanser really does make my skin feeling cleaner and doesn't dry out my skin.

Samples 

1. INNISFREE The Green Tree Seed Serum

2.ETUDE HOUSE Fresh Cherry Tint (2)

I know I used so many products but I don't use it all at once. And I have a few Korean skincare products that I still want to try that fits my regimen skincare. Yes, I traded my lazy beauty routine to korean skincare routine. I'll update my blog about my skincare next time. Stay tunes :)

p/s : I'm hooked with the Korean skincare and it gives more reason why I love Korea besides their food and their places :) And plan travel to Korea next year on April maybe? Who's with me?
