Korean Skincare Haul

Maybe cause it's the holidays, but I want to buy everything! I bought some skincare products on www.momomango.com. This online store is based out of Canada so shipping was super fast! Unfortunately they only have a limited selection, not as much as I'd like <hehee>. The products arrived in a box, packed with brown paper.  I like how they write a message on the inside of one of the flaps - it adds a personal touch.  They also folded the receipt into an origami cup and stuff it with a few sample and candy. 

Here's what I bought:

BRTC Perfect BB Toner  - it's a multi-function toner (hence the "BB" part) that has 4 functions: oil control, whitening, pore tightening, and moisturizing. This is a clear, light bluish liquid that is awesome!! It has a slight apple scent to it.  I've only been using this a few times but I'm convinced that this has made my skin softer, brighter, and whiter!!



 

BRTC Perfect Pore Clean Mini Pore Clean Set - this is a set of 3  products that is suppose, as the name states, deep clean pores. It contains mini sizes of the Pore Deep Cleanser, Purifying Mask, and Ultra Serum. The Pore Deep Cleanser controls sebum secretion and reduces the appearance of blackheads and blemishes.  The Purifying Mask cleans and tightens pores. The Ultra Serum helps to tighten pores and leaves skin looking refined.  I haven't used this yet. 




Skin Food Rice Mask - a wash off mask with rice extract that moisturizes and brightens skin.  After cleansing skin, apply mask, leave it on for 10-15 mins, and wash off.  I think one difference between American and Koreans is that Koreans do a lot more at home facials.  I never really used masks and packs but decided to make an effort. This rice mask was highly rated and recommended on various blogs.  It really does brighten and soften my skin.  I really liked it so I bought this for my mom and sisters.

Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam - it's made with baking powder that gently exfoliate and penetrates pores. It also controls oil and moisture balancing functions.  I've never seen a face wash foam like this! It lathers into a fine foam - like shaving cream! Apparently most Korean cleansers foam like this.  It has a slight lemony scent to it which I love! My skin feels soft and squeaky clean afterwards.




Etude House Wash off pack Honey and Yogurt - a pack with honey and medicinal herbs to soften and nourish skin. The yogurt pack is made with fruit and yogurt. After cleansing skin, wash off after 10 mins. These are so cute!! The packing makes it look like food.  I haven't tried these yet.




Merry Christmas everyone!
