Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum, a Short Review.

Whenever you buy korean product, in brick-and-mortar store or from online store, you will get some sample. Personally, i prefer to move my product into a jar rather than to keep it in their own plastic during use, because it's soooo messy to use product from sample packaging if you're not keep it in right place ( ̄へ ̄")

for blogging purpose, i chose my innisfree green tea seed serum in sample size. This is a very unique sample, i love the packaging! it looks like an ampoule in my opinion (ノ´∀`*)ノ.


they're also provide it with product explanation in back-side, but since it's all in Korean, i can't read anything.

and these are my equipment to move product into a jar :
alcohol
tiny jar (it's 5ml size jar)
a cotton ball
product sample


first, drop some alcohol into a cotton ball and swipe all over jar with it. Dont forget to swipe it into the closure too.
Some people doesn't like cleaning up jar using alcohol method because it might change product's consistency, but i think it's good way because alcohol will kill bacteria & swipe dirt.

now my jar is clean! (^▽^)

 .. then put product into the jar

innisfree green tea seed serum has a very liquid texture. It's absorb easily, and feels so light like i dont use anything on my face.
but there's no green tea smell i could detect, but it's still a nice smell.

 these is what left after i drop all product into a jar *LOL

These sample last me 3 times usage. It's doesn't cause me breakout, it gaves me dewy look which is turn into greasy in 2-3 hours, but didn't give me any other effect. It's not very moisturizing but feels light weight at the same time. Maybe 3 times usage doesnt enough to show me the amazing effect it might give :P

i used to think that i have to get this in full size, but after re-thinking, i decided not to get it. I'd rather to try argan oil or another that cheaper option which promise me moisturizer and dewy look with cheaper prize. But if you have more budget to go, it would be a good product to try :)

thanks for reading, i really appreciate it ^^

Skinfood Tomato Spot Serum

Hi girls :)

Do you like Tomato?
Truthfully, I'm not. I dont like the texture (too watery for me), fruit (ewww), and the taste. I never eat tomato except it's in sandwich or as tomato sauce *lol

but after i bought this serum, my skin consume tomato everyday!

There are some benefit of consuming tomato(es) :
  1. help in cases of high cholesterol
  2. anti oxidant
  3. work as cancer prevention
  4. cooling, whitening and firming properties for skin
  5. reviving dull, tired skin and acne treatment
So, we can see why tomato serum could help in acne scars >> tomatoes has whitening properties for skin and also acne treatment, great!!

Mine is Skinfood Tomato Spot Serum and i get it for about IDR 140,000 (or around USD 15) from online shop. 


I dont really like the packaging, because once you push the tube, it would never back as the first time you get it. It will stay pushed :(


Look!
They still remember to put Skinfood's cupid on the packaging :D


They doesn't provide the ingredients on packaging of product that i got. And i've search for it in google but can't find anything.


Tomato Spot Serum has a tiny hole, to keep you get right amount of product.


See? the texture is quite runny, not creamy. It has a fresh scent, i dont know what but it's not tomato's.


This serum is hard to absorb. I've found that my Tea Tree Emulsion absorbed easier more than this. But it's okay .. I only use it at night so i have a lot of time to wait.

My Rating : 4 of 5
It's good, doesnt cause me break out but doesnt really help without some other product i consumed (work a lot way better when i consuming Meiji Collagen also).

Repurchase : still dont know.

thanks for reading ^^

Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum, you needed!

It's been so long before i write another post again. What a lazy me .. -.-"

The Product












Skinfood says :
Peach Sake Pore Serum: Enriched with vitamin C serum that contains peach and sake extracts. Tightens pores and controls excess sebum.

Peach Sake Pore Serum is another skinfood highly raved item, suits oily skin so much because it's really does help to control oil and a little bit moisturizing at same time. And yes, it does tightening my pores but only when i'm using it. After it, my pores appears like usual. Sometimes i think it's tighten my pores too much, makes my faces looks like dehydrated or something. So even if this product can be use alone without any moisturizer (emulsion), i still need emulsion to make my skin looks better.

Skinfood packages it in a cute glass bottle contains 45ml of product, with a very nice pump head. The cap looks like made from wood but they're not. It's plastic with wood texture outside. Overall, i like this packaging but not really adore it. I was wondering what would i do if it's near the end? open the pump head?



The product inside is a white lotion which turn into transparant in face. In my own opinion, it has a nice smell like peach and sake (because a sheer alcohol scent i smell) that not disturbing me.

In the other hand, i dont really get their mind to put some shimmer on it. Well, it's not a strong shimmer, i even notive it in 3rd or 4th times i used it, they left on my fingers and makes me questioning where did i got that shimmer.

Price and Where To Get It
i bought it for IDR 110,000 from korean online shop. Maybe in counter they're more expensive but since my city doesnt have skinfood counter, i can not tell you how many it cost in counter.

Pros :
very good oil control
good to use as primer
moisturizing enough without emulsion
pump head (at least it's easier to come it out, doesnt like another skinfood emulsion)
seems like product never end, lot of product inside3.9 ou
good price

Cons :
tighten your skin more than you mean
the shimmers
bulky, it takes to much place in my make up pouch (but not in my skincare pouch)

My Rate : 3.9 out of 5
