One Bag and Flowers

I just wonder how can so many things be cute, beautiful or lovely in Korea? In Finland we have only Moomins and Angry birds . Yeap, they are from Finland. Sometimes I feel Korean people just know how to combine cutiness and beauty. As I have previously reviewed TonyMoly products , I would like to preview one more cutie pie on today's post! It's called Pocket Bunny Sleek Mist . What does it do? The mist is skin-balancing and makes your facial skin refreshed. It's also oil-controlling so you don't have to worry about oily face during the day. The sleek mist provides hydration for your skin and long-lasting makeup. One bottle contains 60 ml of mist. How to use it? You can you use it to set the makeup or just to add glow on your face. Just open the lid and spray 2-3 squirts onto your face 15-20 cm away from your face. Pat the skin gently after applying. The bottle is reusable and the bottle size is great for example travelling! Ingredients Celtic water from...

As you can see, sheet masks are getting more and more popular all around the world now— though in Korea and Asia they have been part of normal skincare routine for a long time. Sheet masks came originally from South Korea, the top country of skincare and beauty products. Today I would like to share some facts about sheet masks and review of TonyMoly's great masks. What is a sheet mask? A sheet mask is a face-shaped mask which is soaked in concentrated serum . They are usually made of fabric or gel and they contain important ingredients to skin like vitamins, hyaluronic acid and plant extracts . They are individually packaged , for one use and really convenient  — you don't have to rinse it off afterwards like normal face masks. Why are they used? They are used for example to moisturize, smooth, clear, refine and heal your skin — simply to make your skin more beautiful and healthier. In Korean skincare routine they are often used after serum and ampoule treatments t...

If you have oily skin or and you want to take ultimate care of your skin with a toner which refines your skin, read further. Etude House Wonder Pore toner is the best and the huge  500 ml bottle holds more than enough for long time to use. Function The bottle is light blue and originally it came along with a big box of cotton pads. There is also a bottle of 250 ml for those who prefer smaller one for travelling! As the title tells Wonder Pore Freshner minimizes the pores. It also manages excess sebum, refines skin tone, removes dead skin cells, deep cleanses pores, moisturizes skin as well as balances skin's pH level.  So it has many benefits  — no wonder the bottle says 10 in 1 . The applicator is also really practical: just push the pump down and apply toner onto the cotton pad. Ingredients Wonder Pore's  Peppermint extract  is the one which this product is known from. It leaves a cooling sensation and gives a fresh feeling on skin. Th...

TonyMoly is known from their cute animal and fruit themed packages. TonyMoly arrived to the Nordics 1st of September what gives a reason for a preview of one of their popular products: Egg Pore Silky Smooth Balm which is one of the most popular Korean primers due to its cheap price and well known golden egg shaped jar. Silky smooth balm manages the excess sebum and make skin to look smoother by making pores less visible . It gives semi-matte finish which makes your skin ideal for makeup to last the whole day beautiful. It also absorbs the oiliness away so your skin looks less shiny but still natural. You can also use the product alone without applying any makeup. I love this product because it comes with super cute jar and it has lovely lemon scent . It looks like something edible (even tho it's not) and the texture is typical primer. The main ingredients are egg white and oil controlling herbal complex (Burdock, Lemon, Hop, Peppers, Sylvia, Soap Gras). The egg whi...

Everyone who uses makeup knows the feeling of an eyeliner which always gets smeary and fades out until the evening is even nearby — or the eyeliner which is impossible to apply because of the bad and too thick brush. I have experiences all those until I found the best Korean eyeliner which is pure gold: Clio Waterproof Kill Black eyeliner . Clio is a Korean brand which is known for their innovative quality and great pigments in their makeup products. I used to love to apply eyeliner almost everyday and found out that the ones with brush or pen are the most suitable for my eyelids. This pen eyeliner is great because it has deep black pigment and the pen is also thin to get beautiful and precise result . It's also waterproof  and it lasts the whole day without getting smeary. This product goes well with Etude House Curl Fix Mascara . As you can see the eyeliner looks like a marker pen. There are Clio eyeliners with the pen and brush nibs. Even though the nib in the p...

Ok, so I primarily wanted to have this product because of the adorable name and the cute  pig . But there is also a story behind why I ended up getting this one! When living in Korea last spring, I was paying and ordinary visit to a supermarket called Homeplus and I was having some free time. I wandered around at the cosmetic section and some Korean woman who was working there asked me to see some of their products. I was actually trying the lipsticks — and asked if there are any nice masks for acne scars . Without hesitating she took some bottle, opened it and put the product on my hand. I saw some thick grey stuff which started to make bubbles . WOW! Bubbles, so cool! I thought. And after rinsing it off my hands were soft as a cute little pig. It made funny bubbles so here I am with my Milky Piggy Bubble Clay Mask . Happy and confident to review this product. When you open the jar it's full of the thick grey cream I told you about. It smells like clay and it looks like — ...

It's time to talk about K-beauty! I have always struggled with all kind of skin problems from pimples to redness and oiliness. However, somehow during my year in Asia and Korea my skin care routines and products changed dramatically . Due to that, also my skin got so much better. I can thank mostly Korea because of their great and affordable products. Let's see what are simply the best moisturizers you can find to get baby smooth skin ! Before the moisturizers, check out the best Korean cleansers  HERE . Aloe vera is such a great plant. It has been used for years for decorative purposes as well as to calm down irritated skin. Somehow just recently people have woken up to the fact how great moisturizer aloe vera actually is! It reduces the redness and moisturize your skin deeply. It also works for acne and other skin problems . When I got a bad acne breakout in Hong Kong and nothing really helped me, aloe vera gel was one of the only things which made my skin at least a ...

As most of the people know cosmetics and beauty products are close to my heart — especially Korean ones. You can barely find any other than Korean products from my makeup bag ( for example  The best Korean foundation for Oily skin )  and that's for a reason: they are good quality, ahead of western ones and in many cases cheaper. I would like to introduce you my favorite eyelash curler which I use on a regular basis to get beautiful eyelashes. It is cheap, stylish and it works! The curler is Curl Fix from Etude House and it costs less than 5 euros. The color is black matte so it also looks better than cheap iron ones. It doesn't pinch eye lids at all so I guess it is perfect for my eye shape! Here you can see a before picture: My lashes are light and not really thick so I need a bit stronger curler to make them look good. After cleaning your skin and waiting the moisturizer to dry is an ideal moment to curl the lashes. After curling I put some mascara. For example Etud...

When I came to Korea for the first time I fell in love with cosmetics here. South Korea is well known for their huge beauty industry and I bet anyone who has been here knows that they have thousands of amazing products for every kind of people. My skin type is oily and the color is light so I have always struggled to find decent priced makeup foundation which is not too dark and stays longer on my face. Luckily, Korea saved me! Let me introduce you Double Lasting Foundation from Etude House . What does it do? The foundation promises to be long-lasting and offer a semi-matte finish. The touch is light and the scent is delightful. The double lasting foundation should cover your skin with single coat and make it flawless. It is also said to adhere the skin without making it heavy or caky. There are various shades for different skin tones, so I guess many people can find a good one for themselves! How to use it? Clean and moisturize the skin well. Shake the bottle up and down ...
