Review : Innisfree Olive Real Power Cream


 hi guys :) 
i've been busy lately so i wasn't be able to do the review on the products i got from Korea.
well, Merry belated Christmas and Happy belated New Year !
wish we all have the best year :)

the first brand i'm gonna talk about today is Innisfree '

Innisfree's shop in korea.

as it claimed to be a first natural Korean brand with an eco-friendly products 
which most of the ingredients are organic farming 
and come from an Island called Jeju in South Korea.
( personally, it seems like a "Body Shop" to me
which is my favorite organic cosmetic brand.
so i googled about its best seller and made a list for my boy to get some for me. )


4 Best Seller products from Innisfree's global website
i purchased only the two products in the middle of the list above.
and today we're gonna talk about the yellowish one called

" Innisfree's Olive real power cream "
 Innisfree's Olive real power cream (front)

  the packaging comes in a greenish-yellowish i-believe-it's-a plastic bottle 
which is claimed to be an eco-friendly product.
It's recycle and got innisfree's promise tag on the back of the bottle.

The quality of the package is great and lovable.
It's not gonna break if you accidentally drop it.
And the inside of the cap will not be broken as it's made in one piece plastic.

(compared to Revlon Whipped Foundation Package 
that i recently broke the screwer plastic inside of the cap 
which now making it unable to close the package safely 
without spilling the cream all over my make up bag
i, seriously gotta buy new one soon )


 Innisfree's Olive real power cream (back)

the bottle comes in a regular size contained 50 ml. of the cream.
(almost the same size with Revlon Whipped Cream foundation.)




got a plastic layer covering the product for hygiene
but no spoon or anything to pick up the cream, so finger only!




For the texture, it's a cream cheese-butter-ish kinda thick.
it's not gonna soak your finger when you dip it.
but it's still not too hard to blend into your face.
I use with an amount of a finger tips and it's covered all of my face.

It's has an almost-white color cream with a soft natural scents.
I don't know if it's fragrance-free or not 
but it definitely doesn't smell like alcohol or so fragrance-ish.



it definitely is a good night cream.
super moisturized and you will wake up with a so freshen face :)
recommended for those who have dry to mixed skin.

firstly i gotta tell you that i have kinda 'mixed' skin.
not too dry but yet not oily. i'm not sure what's it called
but NEVER get that you-can-see-it's oily on the T-zone.


After using this product daily as a night cream for a month,
( for your information, i'm using a Elizabeth Arden perpetual moisture 24 hour as a day cream.)
i've experienced that it can moisturize well enough to stop those dryness in your skin,
fix every dry spot with its richness and give you a very healthy, radiant and super smooth skin.
my face is sooooooo soft right now :) Love it! 

* BUT * it's has caused me an OILY T-ZONE!
it's kinda freak me out so now i'm using less on the nose 
but still continuing to use it daily before going to bed.
I'm getting better with less oily T-Zone.

overall, I LOVE this product :)
definitely going to re-purchase it after this one running out.

.............................................................................

well, it has been surprisingly long review, sorry for that :P
i'll do some more review soon. Maybe on a weekend :)
stay tuned!

Haul : Too Cool for School, Etude and Innisfree

hi whimsy-heads :) 
last week i just got this cute Korean cosmetics from my boyfriend.
He went on a trip to Korea and was able to complete my freaky shopping list.
actually, it wasn't easy for a boy choosing the right color that a girl wants.
so he bought them all! lol Thanks you love <3

here, take a sneak peek at my newest best friends!
i'll do the reviews real soon, pinky promise :)

These products are mixed from different Korean brands. (Too Cool For School, Etude and Innisfree)  

those in the upper right picture is called " Etude "
most famous Korean cosmetics brand here in Thailand.

i got these two lovable 'Hand Creams' as a gifts from my boy's trip
It has different scents in each design. soooo cute!

..........................

next, in the lower right picture is called " Too Cool For School "

this brand got me in the first place only because of it's name (cute, right? )
but then after seeing the packaging and trying some of them, 
i'm really in love with the brand!
my favorite product so far is the pencil ones called ' Dinoplatz Lost identity '
which work like a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. Love it!

..........................

last one on the lower left is called " Innisfree "
which are the only skincare products i wrote down on the list 
plus two nail polishes from Innisfree Christmas 2012 LE collection

The brand has claimed to be an 'eco friendly' brand.
i've tried some of them and still looking forward to see how it's really effect my skin.
by far, it makes me happy. Oh, and i'm gonna try the polish today! 

..........................

Christmas is closer, got to stay Festive for the rest of the year!

Review : Catrice *LE* Bohemia. Yes, You Tan

yesterday, while i was on a mission of hunting down 
blush & nail polish from Breaking Dawn Part 2 collection
which is a limited edition from Essence.
i was dying to have 'Renesmee Red' blush 
after reading all those good comments about it
so i was like ' i gotta have this!' lol


the polish called "Alice has vision-again" and "Jacob's Protection"
were also appealing to me,especially Lautner's one, Ooops! lol

but this isn't because i'm a real twilight fans or any thing.
i haven't read the books yet. 
i watched the first movie based on Robert only :P

to me, the previous movie sagas was disappointed, 
despite the fact that they have both Robert &Taylor!
(which is the reason why i wanted 'Jacob's protection' polish so bad lol )

still, the first three movies are kinda let me down.
i only like the breaking dawn part two, 
and i'm totally in love with the movie and a 'Thousand time' song
which making me write down the twilight books in my wish list next year.

anyway, i had been looking for this collection for about a week
but it all sold out every stores here in Thailand! 
and i can't find it selling online anywhere. what a bummer! 

......................................................................................

but then i ran into Catrice cosmetic counter
and found this gorgeous Nail Polish and Lip gloss
from Catrice's limited edition : Bohemia
the color called  'Yes, you Tan'


for the polish : the color turns out great!
it's a 'milk chocolate' kinda brown with sweet golden shimmer in it.
the color is pretty suitable for every occasions, 
pretty warm and classy at the same time.


this one was taken at night, using the light from my lamp.
the color in the picture is a little bit too light from its real color.
it actually is 'chocolatebrown with tiny golden shimmer.
the color looks exactly the same as you can see at the bottle.
just a little bit darker, very little.



this one was taken in sunlight. 
The formula is also great! 
Dry fast and only took 2 coats for the beautiful coverage.
the brush is good, a little bit too bold but over all it's okay.

Well, the other one i bought is the lip gloss.
it's called 'Brilliant Lip gloss' and also comes in the same color
'yes, you Tan'


for the lip gloss, 
for those who's looking for a non-sticky gloss, this would be perfect :) 
it has a medium to sheer shade,
 i think it's a little semi-orange-semi-red-ish on my lips.
make it looks glossy with a pretty, tiny golden shimmer. 
the gloss stays for a while and doesn't feel thick at all.
it's truly brilliant. love it!

  
again, i think the lip gloss is also suitable to wear anytime
especially on festive seasons :) Christmas is around the corner!
(but might be a little bit too shimmery for school day)

i'm glad i bought this, sooooooo worth it!
i'm already over the breaking dawn collection 
and totally fall in love with this one instead!

.............................................................................

personally, i would wear these polish and gloss almost every day 
because it has my boy friend's name on it!
so it's my new all-time favorite! lol 
i got this on the right time, the day he went to Korea.
it'll be a while so i'm gonna miss him badly.
but luckily, i found these two! yeahh! <3

i have read that this collection was in 2011
it just came into thailand on December 2012!
Heard the next collection will be 'Welcome to Vegas'
i got an eye on the blue polish, might buy it soon.

pheww~ sooo long!
i'm new at this bloggy thing
so i'm sorry if i did something wrong
but thanks you for reading this :)
