Review: Etude House I Need You, Yogurt! Wash-Off Pack

Etude House I Need You, Yogurt! Wash-Off Pack (12g per pack)

Description: Facial massage pack formulated with fruit and yogurt to soften, nourish and replenish skin.
Directions: After facial cleansing and prior to toner application, massage pack onto facial surface. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

Strawberry(?) Pack: Skin Brightening

Kiwi Pack: Skin Rejuvenating

Apple Pack: Skin Moisturizing

Apricot Pack: Removing dead skin cells

Active Ingredients: Yogurt, Apple, Raspberry???, Kiwi and Apricot extracts.
I'm quite confused about one of the ingredient... — "Raspberry?" or "Strawberry?" ??? According to the picture, it looks like "Strawberry" to me and the korean words printed on the packaging wrote "딸기" meaning "Strawberry". But in the translated Active Ingredients list, the information given is "Raspberry!?" I thought Raspberry in korean is "나무딸기"? Anyway, I assume there is a translation error? LOL. Well because...the smell of the "딸기" pack smells more like Strawberry. Therefore, I think it's Strawberry instead of Raspberry. Correct me if I'm wrong. :x

Errr...I will stick to "Strawberry" in my post. :)

A more detailed ingredients list:

Before I purchased this Yogurt Pack, my friend actually gave me the Strawberry and Kiwi packs to try... I tried the Kiwi pack first but I'm too excited and forgot to take picture. (-.-) Anyway, I tried the Strawberry pack the previous night and I love it!

Consistency and Color:
It's like uhhh...watery light creamy(?) texture and for the Strawberry Pack, it has a pale pink color whereas for the Kiwi Pack, it has a pale mint green color. I have yet to try the Apple and Apricot Pack so I can't tell their colors.

Scent:
The Strawberry Pack smells totally like Strawberry!(nonsense!, of coz it smells like strawberry if not what? smells like coke? -.- *craps*) [...] Not too strong. It has a very mild scent~ Smells delicious~ *YUM!* As for the Kiwi Pack, I forgot what's the scent is but anyway, it has a really nice fragrance!

Likes:
- easy to apply
- easy to wash off (feels like washing off a lotion cream... -_-)
- cooling and soothing sensation (chill it in the fridge before application)
- nourishing
- softer and smoother skin
- smells delicious!~
- won't drip and not messy
- amount is generous
- suits sensitive skin
- no breakout~!
- YOGURT + FRUITS formula! ;D

Dislikes:
- not much result seen. maybe I should use it for awhile(maybe a few weeks?) in order to see result... :/
- inedible :(  [.............] *kidding* ;P

Each pack can use once or twice or even more, depending on the size of your face and how thick you want to put on your face. I can use one pack for 3-4 times though. :x Once opened, I store the leftover in a container because apparently, the packaging cover can't seal back once ripped. I'm afraid it will spill in the fridge(my mom would kill me!) therefore, I chose to store it in a container. :x

FYI, the korean salesgirl told me this Yogurt Pack is for sensitive skin and the main purpose of this mask pack is Moisturizing and the Honey Pack is for errr... ps, I forgot. (._.") Is it for Moisturizing + Skin detoxification? Okay, I really don't know... Anyway, I got both Yogurt and Honey Pack~ Probably I would try the Honey Pack next week. Wheeeeees, I'm so excited!~ :D

Frugal Living Tips: Zero-Waste Cleanser~!

It's crazy that the price of everything is increasing these days and a smart way to save money is to empty out the product by getting the very last drop out before disposing them. I believe many of you have heard this method before so I may not be the first person to do this. (._.) Anyway, here's how I get the very last drop of cleanser from a tube. ;) ↓↓↓

When you can no longer squeeze out any cleanser from the tube instead of throwing it away, cut the tube of cleanser into half with a pair of scissors. You will find some remaining cleanser left in the tube which can last you for another 2 weeks or so.

That's what I would normally do to prevent wastage + to save money. I'm thrifty(no, i'm not) and I know it~~~ Bwahahahahahahhahaha~ ;D Take note that this is not being CHEAP. -_- It's called BEING FRUGAL! Frugal Living isn't about being cheap. It's about being smart! — "good money management~" oh yeah~ 

I will store the 'cut-open tube' in a plastic bag and tie it with an elastic band to prevent the cleanser from getting contact with dirt and dust as well as to prevent it from drying up.

You can cut whatever products that come in a soft tube packaging(eg: toothpaste, hair conditioner etc...) into half too. Keep in mind that you buy the product with your hard-earned money so don't waste any drop of it. -.-

Being frugal is not a bad thing as long as you know you are doing it right. :)

Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream 75ml
Description: This original snail mucus takes care of your all kind of skin problems in all-in-one skin care system on your first skin care step. It repairs tired and aging skin to be rejuvenating and it also the first protector of your naked skin.
Direction: At your first skin care step, apply proper amount of it to your face and let it absorbed into the deep skin.
**if you use a toner, then use this cream right after your toner. If not, then use this right after cleansing.
**it's a morning and night cream.

I can't stress enough how awesome this cream is! This is a miracle product! I have only used this for a month+ and the result it gives are truly amazing!!

After I read through the product articles(shown below), I bought the cream hopefully it would help heal my skin problems such as acne, post-acne hyperpigmentation/scars, redness, large pores etc. and to my surprise, it does work wonders! :)

*Photos credit to seller* ↴

*Photos credit to seller* ↲

Look at that! Omg, how it helped to clear up those monster zits!

I was sold to the cream after I saw these pictures review. -_-" To be honest, I used to have bad acne somewhat similar(whole cheek broke out! :( ) but not as bad as what's in the picture. But still, it's pretty bad to me. -_-"After clearing up all the zits, I have been searching for good products to control and maintain my somewhat clear skin. Well, I can't say that I have a totally flawless skin because I do still get zits occasionally and I still have post acne marks left from the horrible breakout. Anyway, before I make the purchase, I did more research on it because you know...sometimes consumer reviews can be fabricated. -_-

But don't worry~, I'm a honest reviewer! Trust me! :D

The cream comes in a sturdy glass jar container with a plastic twist-off screw cap. Right inside there is a plastic cover and it comes without a spatula. TSK! :(

Consistency:

It's 'slime-y'(like real snail slime/mucin) and sticky gel-like texture but no worry, it's not sticky after it absorbs into the skin. It's a non-greasy lightweight cream and it's not heavy at all.

Color:

As you can see from the pictures, the cream is in white color which absorbs into the skin without leaving a white cast/layer on the skin.

Scent:

It's fragrance-free! However, it does have a faint smell which I don't really know how to express...smell like a pure, raw and natural snail extract cream without adding in fragrance(?) [... ... ...] I don't know what I'm talking about... Orz [...] lol.  It does not have a strong or bad smell anyway.

Likes:

- contain 92% of snail secretion fitrate!

- all-in-one function!

- lightweight cream. it's not heavy at all!

- helps in skin regenerating

- speed up acnes and hyperpigmentation/scars healing!

- lighten and get rid of redness.

- Pores tightening! *my pores are smaller now yayy~*

- brighten up skin tone

- not sticky nor greasy!

- easy to apply

- absorbed into the skin fast!

- fragrance FREE!

- suits all skin type including sensitive skin!

Dislikes:

- not very moisturizing... I do use a hydrating moisturizer after using this.

- comes without a spatula! TSK! As I have mentioned before, I hate dipping my fingers in to dip out the cream! TSK TSK!

P.S: I don't have any wrinkles so I can't evaluate the "anti-wrinkle" claim. :x

By the way, I experienced a mild breakout when I first started using this cream however, I did not stop using it because I believe it's repairing my skin — pushing out all the gunk, that has been stuck deep down in the skin, to the surface. This last for about 2-3 weeks and yup, my patience paid off.~ 

That being said, keep in mind that...Anytime you start using a new product, do use it for a month before you make the final conclusion. Your skin needs time(est. 2-4 weeks) to get adapt to new products, routines or regimen. Don't expect drastic changes overnight.

On a side note, remember to do a small patch test before slapping the cream onto your face especially if you are using some other brand products in the same routine. I suffered from a skin reaction when I used this with Etude House AC Clinic Red Spot Balm and so I concluded both products can't be use in the same routine probably because of the ingredients. eg: Ingredient A + Ingredient B = Skin Reaction...? lol. 

(PS: Our skin are different so probably this would not happen to you.)

so and so..., I stopped using AC Clinic Red Spot Balm even though it does works well to lighten post acne hyperpigmentation/scars because I find the snail cream works even better. After all, snail secretion extract does have a lot of good benefits for the skin~ Wanna know more about snail secretion extract? GOOGLE! Yes, GOOGLE is your best friend. Lol. :D

Iphone Application — "FairyWoods Patisserie"

Mood: 

Anyone here plays "FairyWoods Patisserie"?

I downloaded and started playing this when it first came out. Basically, this game is similar to Pucca's Restaurant(link). Those who played Pucca's Restaurant should have heard of FairyWoods Patisserie since they are under the same developer — "Mobcrete".

Comparing FairyWoods Patisserie with Pucca's Restaurant, the major difference is the "Theme". You probably can guess the theme for Pucca's Restaurant by looking at the name — "PUCCA". Clear-cut! Lol. As for FairyWoods Patisserie, it's FAIRYTALES THEMED RESTAURANT GAME!♥ Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees~ :D

FairyWoods Patisserie consists of well-known Fairytales such as:

- Three Bear

- Three Little Pigs

- Alice In Wonderland

- Hansel and Gretel

- Little Mermaid

- Cinderella

- Aladdin

- Peter Pan

Another difference I noticed between the two restaurants is the Dish Mastery EXP(%) gained from cooking the dishes. In Pucca's Restaurant, I can mastered the '1 hour' dish in 1-2 days whereas in FairyWoods Patisserie, I took weeks to master the '1 hour' dish. Sometimes, I get really pissed with that. The Dish Mastery EXP(%) bar increases like a snail!! TSK! (-__-)

Well, I think this game really trains my patience in working my way up the ladder to get a 5-star restaurant. Lol. (¬_¬)

Here's a screenshot of my lovely restaurant~

Can you spot Alice, the white rabbit and the pocket-watch from "Alice in Wonderland"?

The white rabbit is one of the "special customers"(character bonus) and just like the story of "Alice in Wonderland", it has a pocket-watch~! :P For those who played this game, did you observe the rabbit reaction when you tap it to collect the character bonus? I find it's reaction pretty cute! HAHAHA!

Figurine (not completed)

I like the White Rabbit and Big Bad Wolf, how about you?

Mastery (completed)

For the golden eggs, I have yet to unlock most of them(hidden items) because I don't want to spend money to buy the background. :x

TIP: To unlock the golden eggs for the background thingy, you have to find the "hidden items". First, you have to purchase and apply the background. Then tap everywhere in the background till you find the items. :)

Besides that, I have also yet to unlock the golden eggs of 6 Hot Drink, 6 Cold Drink, 6 Cupcake and 6 Jelly and Pudding recipes mastery.

Tip: Buy the "Magical Fridge", which costs 50 Candies, to prevent food spoilage. :)

I personally like the theme for FairyWoods Patisserie more than Pucca's Restaurant. *Awwws, MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES~~~~~♪ * (＝ｗ＝)

How about you?
Which Restaurant theme do you prefer, Pucca's or Fairywoods? (・ω・)
