Reviews on the samples given

The Tony Moly's Ice Queen Multiplay cream SPF 30 PA++ has a very sweet smell. Some others may love it but i just don't like the smell. However, it's very easy to apply onto the skin and it is not greasy or sticky. It doesn't cause any breakouts on my skin which is weird... cause I've tried sunblocks and they always produce acnes or pimples...

Holika Holika's UV magic shield perfect sun spf 50+ PA+++ is very good for me!!! I like everything about this. Gonna get it! I was given this sample by Zhen and the seemingly small packet can actually contain a lot... It doesn't cause any breakouts. The smell is ok. It is slightly sticky

Innisfree White tone up essence... Love the scent. The 1st two application of this essence cause a few bumps (not pimples or acne) to pop up on my forehead so I stopped using it... But recently, I gave it a try again and I don't see any appearance of bumps anymore. Maybe it's because i applied lesser? Perhaps this is more for those with mild oily skin to mild dry skin?

Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore clay mask
This I like!!! I had a pimple coming out and after reading a review done by Zhen, I thought why not try it out with the sample given... After washing off the mask, i noticed that the pimple is not as red as before. By the next morning, it's all gone. Aside from that, my pores seems smaller. However, my forehead was slightly itchy but that's for a short while only and the mask is difficult to wash off.

Review on cleanser samples

Holika Holika's Speedy 1-step Milk-to-foam is meant for daily wash and at the same time remove make-up in just 1 step. Just a little of it can create lots of foam. That 1 sample packet is enough to last me for about 6 washes or so... It isn't harsh on my skin at all. I thought my cheeks will feel dry or tight after washing... But it didn't!!! I've not tried washing off make-up with it... Don't really dabble much on make-up (only on bb creams)... But I noticed that if I use more it to wash, it can cause my mouth area to feel a little tight. Not sure whether I'm getting it... I'm a little tempted! wha! hahaha!!!

Skin Food's Aloe Vera Cream Cleanser is meant to just wash the face... won't remove any make-up. It is creamy (obviously). No foaming. After washing, can feel that the face is slightly filmy. I don't think many people like the filmy feeling as some will feel that the face isn't properly cleansed. But at least there's no tightening feeling for me. It doesn't irritate my skin. No breakouts. But my nose is a little shiny after a few hours. I believe this will suit people with dry skin types best since it's not drying on the skin.
(Description: A fresh clean cleanser with Aloe Extracts to soothe and hydrate the skin. Keeps the skin soft, calm, and deeply cleansed.)

Gonna try Holika Holika egg cleanser soon!! Stay tune for more reviews! Au revoir!

Holika Holka's Plumping Heart Lifting Cream

Got this cream from iheartkoreanbeauty for S$28.90.



The scent is light and refreshing. Although it's a cream, it feels like a gel or something similar to pudding texture. It isn't greasy at all. Suits oily skin type too! dunno about dry skin type. It has a nice bottle and a spatula to go with it. Didn't see the spatula at first so I just dipped my finger into the jar... :( Anyway the cream is amazing! It just forms back on it's own so there isn't a dent made by my finger... hehe...

I don't have any wrinkles yet so I don't know how effective is the collagen cream but i figured that prevention is better than cure so it is best to invest in something like this cream. The body start to age rapidly at 20s, so it's best to invest in skincare products like sun block/cream too.

Face2change roller bb balm spf 30

Holika Holika bb balm... I'm really not good at taking pics of my cheeks..so not going to upload. 

The coverage is good (but it still can't cover the darker acne scar) but i think the liquid bb roller from the same line will have more coverage... This is for those who don't have much flaws on the skin... But one thing I like about this bb pact is that it doesn't even feel like I've applied anything on my face. Feels...very natural...i think this suits me well... 

This suits my skin tone. I think mine is shade #2. This shade should be suited for most people unless you're really fair... then go for shade #1. 






Reviews on Tony Moly's Dual effect sleeping pact & Holika Holika's Bulgarian rose

Dual effect sleeping pack intense repair:



The smell is okay. Texture is slightly thick but it doesn't make my skin feel oily at all... Didn't even make my skin breakout. Somehow... my pores seems smaller that morning...dunno whether i'm seeing things as it's main functions are to prevent wrinkles & help with whitening... Used it once (cause it's a sample given by Zhen from http://iheartkoreanbeauty.blogspot.com/) and I'm still in my 20s so no wrinkles yet so dunno about the anti-wrinkle part.



Bulgarian rose 12 hr moisturizing cream:




Liked the scent of this cream... doesn't make my skin feel itchy or anything. But my nose is shiny after 2 hrs...should be a bit oily for my t-zone... In the morning while washing my face, I noticed that my skin is soft and smooth to touch. I believe this is meant for those with normal to dry skin type.


All the sample that I've used are given by Zhen after I've purchased some of the stuff from her blogshop. She's very generous with the samples and her response to any any e-mail is fast... You can see some other reviews from http://eatshopbemerry.livejournal.com/  She bought plenty of korean skincare items... also from iheartkoreanbeauty so that's how I got to know that blog... Hehe...

Stuff from iheartkoreanbeauty

I've recently got more stuff from iheartkoreanbeauty (http://iheartkoreanbeauty.blogspot.com/)

Zhen gives plenty of samples away... She's very generous with the samples...




These are what I've bought:



Holika Holika - Face2change Roller BB balm spf 30.


Sort of my 1st time dabbling with cosmetics...

The cream starter:


I did not get the BB pact... Trying out this line 1st to see how my skin will react to it. Anyway...I'm supposed to put on the cream starter then the balm then the pact. But I was told that u use all 3 if there's some occasion... Most of the time people just use the BB balm/cream.

Plumping Heart Lifting Cream:



Before I forget...these are the samples (or what's left of it) from my 1st time buying from Zhen.... I've used some of them...didn't take a pic that time...
