Hiyah!
The mailman brought me a lovely parcel today, from Korea =D (and two are yet to come). I ordered these from f2plus1 on ebay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/f2plus1
Came in a week! Now that's wow, fantastic baby! Let's find out what I got.
Missha: Creamy Latte Greentea Cleansing foam: I'm a big fan of cleansing foams, but haven't found the perfect cleansing foam yet. I decided to take a chance on Missha because I've tried Etude House's cleansing foam and it made red spots appear on my face. I have also tried Skinfood's Egg cleansing foam and it was ok. If this doesn't work I might order the Egg foam next. Alright so Greentea foam looks like metallic green body lotion. Reminds me of The Body Shop's coconut glitter body lotion that makes skin sparkle <3 Greentea's smell is very good, but it doesn't smell like green tea, suprisingly it smells like green apples. It's not a bad smell, but rater fresh. Foams well and the foam is so soft! Leaves the skin feeling tight, but not in a bad way. It feels like my pores are closed and my worry-lines are no more. My first impression of this product: a kiss.
innisfree: Super Volcanic pore clay mask: Makes me look like I'm made of putty xD At first my nose area felt itchy, but that's probably because I have large pores and blackheads --_-- the itching stopped after a minute. It's easy to apply and you really need just a small amount. I could feel my skin getting tighter, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. Afterwards my skin was looking glorious. I had that healthy skin-youthful glow thing going. I'm very interested to see what this product can do in a long run. First impression: a kiss.
TonyMoly: Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream. I had high hopes for this product. Below you can see how the white cream just disappears into my skin. It seemed glorious until I applied it on my face. It's so like, light-minus coverage! Well I wasn't wearing Beauty Flas Balm by Claris underneath it so maybe that had something to do with the fact that this product did not look good on my face. *sigh* I have acne and acne scars and I was hoping that this chameleon would be able to conceal all my problems. Not a chance. I would only recommend this product to someone who has perfect skin, but still feels like wearing something. To conceal little bit of redness or prevent the skin from getting oily during the day maybe. The smell is rather chemical too. However I reckon this will be a perfect thing to use on models =D Models have perfect skin and this blends into any skin tone (even dark and olive tones). So Pure Aura will definitely go into my makeup kit. First impression: a pinch.

innisfree: Jejubija Anti trouble BB Cream: This doesn't look like Korean BB cream to me. It's too runny. Korean BB creams are like putty, or very thick mousse, this is like regular liquid foundation. My little sister uses another innisfree BB cream, but it made my skin look dry. Because I have acne (troubled-skin in Korea) I was happy to discover that innisfree makes BB cream for troubled-skin too. I have never seen Korean BB cream that is not grey-pink or plain grey. This is actually rather orange, and so was my little sister's. On my arm it looked like it was going to be too dark for me. I was prepared to mix it with my other BB cream. But as it turnes out, I don't have to mix this. This is a perfect match for me =D It doesn't feel or look dry on my face either. To be fair, this time I'm using Beauty Flash Balm by Claris underneath so that definitely helps keeping the skin moisturized + it gives the skin that
lovely glowy-devy look. This BB cream smells like Juniper and old pharmacy shop too ^_^ I'm looking forwards to see, what this BB cream can do to my troubled-skin. First impression: a peck on the cheek.

I'll do an update on these products after a month. It usually takes a month for the product to take effect. No matter what skin care/makeup product one is using. So I'll be able to let you in on my new thoughts in a month.
Stay tuned for other "open box" posts. Thank you for reading!
Take care!
