Skin Malgeum Review (etude house)


Today I have a lot of spare time so I decided to review the Skin malgeum from etude house.
I purchased two of them in Fresh and Smoother. It is a toner but you can use it as a mask with a cotton pad and as a mist. As far as I know facial mist is for refreshing your skin when you feel it's dry in the middle of the day.

The skin malgeum in fresh feels like there's a cool feeling on my skin when I pat it on, it says also that it is for oil control. I'm using it before applying make up to absorb oil around my nose along with the goodbye PORE EVER pore primer essence also from etude house and it gives a semi matte finish that last for 6-8 hours.

The skin malgeum in smoother is a exfoliator toner, feels no cool feeling but it's smells good kind of like floral and citrus. I like using it at night before I go to bed along with my other skin care. My skin feels so soft and bright after using it as a mask.

Overall I like it but since I have huge pores, lots of blackheads and whiteheads around my nose area, I still prefer the wonder pore. But if you don't suffer all of these and just want a soft skin then Skin malgeum is perfect for you.

                    This is the before and after photo using the skin malgeum in smoother.


These are the other ways on how to use it.
* Soak the cotton pad with skin malgeum then put it on the skin and leave it for 30 seconds.
*To use it with a mask sheet pour 15-20 ml of skin malgeum on a container then put the dry mask sheet and wait until it's fully absorbed then put it your face. If the mask is getting dry remove it then pat your face gently.
*Using as a mist pour the skin malgeum on a small container with a spray type lid and you have a yourself a skin malgeum mist. ^^

Note: the round cotton pads, the cotton mask pad, facial mask and the mist bottle are sold separately.

I bought it for 12,000 korean won each but if you buy two it cost only for 20,000 korean won @ Etude House.

Etude House Look at My Eyes eyeshadow


Etude House Look at My Eyes eyeshadow

I have 2 eyeshadows here to review and they are both have a different finish.
Platinum SL01 which is a silver with a lot of glitter, not very pigmented.
Silver Gray SL02 which is a grayish purple with silver shimmer like a lustre finish and has a very good pigmentation.

I prefer the Silver gray it is wearable in daytime and it's not too shimmery.
Very pretty for all over lid shadow.

Each eyeshadow costs 3500 Korea won. Available at Etude House.

Nature Republic Israel origin clay mask (Pink clay and paprika)



Israel origin clay mask - mask for sebum absorbtion asd skin purification.
I like clay masks from nature republic because they are cheap and works great.
It contains paprika which is good for sensitive skin.
After washing this product off my face I felt my skin is more softer and brighter.
My pores are also less visible and looks clean, it reminds me of their Volcanic ash pack but that one stings my skin a little bit.


          Originally it cost 5,500 won since this is 50 % sale so it cost me 2,750 won. ^^
