White Clay : deep cleansing effect, whitening, moisturizing, and sensitivity reducing
Pure Tea Tree : pore care, soft clay whitening effect, purifying cleansing for acne

Today's review I decided to use Pure Tea Tree Pore Purifying~

Actually I first knew this product through Get it Beauty where G.NA showed her cosmetic and one of the cosmetic was My Beauty Diary Mask Series.

After testing out it for a month I find it really is something worth sharing with you all

Ingredients
Safe, Middle WarningHigh Warning
For Dry SkinFor Oily SkinFor Sensitive Skin

Water (Aqua), Kaolin, Glycerin, Caprylic, bentonite, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid(Not for Oily Skin Clog Pores), Butylene glycol, glyceryl stearate, grill, montmorillonite, polysorbate 60, Canada colloidal clay, tea tree leaf oil(Not for Sensitive), aggregates churu additional monitor water, tea tree ipchu churu water, witch hazel water, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Hydro Painted jeneyi vegetable oils, sorbitan stearate, silica, trehalose, PEG -100 stearate(Cause allergy), caprylic rilgeul glycol, gum serul to OSU , tetrasodium pyrophosphate, Jintan gum, disodium Te Edie a, phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, imidazolidinyl urea, titanium dioxide(For Dry Skin), chromium oxide green, black iron oxide


Yeah! it's comes out like this
I love the simple design it has~


After you you pull out the aluminum blocking the tube you can start using it
I love the refreshing mint scent it had the moment I opened it.


Just like the color of the tube the cream color is pretty mint
I love the creamy feeling it has and I waited for the clay to harden
You know how sometimes it gets too much pulling and be painful?
Well there is bit of pulling but I feel its more for the pore tightening 
Not those painful pulls that cause your skin to redden.

LOL After I finished applying the mint color made me look like Shrek.
I like the moist feeling it has even after it was hardened.

When you wash it off, if there is any clay left behind it will clog up your pores
As it has Stearic Acid as ingredient it will be deep inside your pores so you need to wash well
So that as it wash off it will pull out all the toxic inside your pores.
Most clay need bit of more cleansing to make sure it is all gone
But this type of mask melts when it touch the water so it wasn't so hard to wash it off clean.

After wash I felt this refreshing feeling that you get when you use tea tree products.
This mask isn't as moistful as other mask in the series mostly because it is a pore care mask
But it still had a moist finish that makes the skin feel so soft like baby skin!

I did have bit of acne on my cheeks the other day 
I think you can see effect for acne a little if you use it for 2~3 weeks.
The effect might come bit later if you have large acne or is a acne prone skin.
But I think you might see bit of change.

After the mask
I like to use tightening sheet mask or moisturizing sheet mask or if you have pore care sheet mask, for better result it's best to use these mask after pore purifying mask.

Over the pass few weeks I did see difference
Effect
♥♥♥♥♥
Recommendation
♥♥♥
Even if it's pore care product I find it wouldn't be much help to
Extreme oily skin type skin because they already have such large pores
the effect wasn't as big as it was to combination and dry skin.
For Dry skin you might find this mask bit drying
It's best to after you do this mask do a moisturizing sheet mask and do a deep moisturizing cream afterwards to prevent any moist lost

However I love how it is soft on the skin
Not irritating, Good ingredients, Easily Washed off so it prevents clogging after mask

Overall Score
♥♥♥♥

What Cosmetic Ingredients Should You Buy and Not Buy?

I believe smart cosmetic shopper is those who do not look at the brand name but the ingredients. There so so many famous brands advertised in magazine and yes there are product that are good, but there are also better products that is not noticed.

Good and better products is determined by their effect, and of course, ingredients. Many girls just look at the brand name or uses product that have been aired in Beauty Channels or cosmetic used by celebrities.

I'm not saying that it's bad, but it's better to see what ingredients you should get for your type of skin. 

**Please remember that it's better to determined whether the ingredients is bad or good by the amount, usually the end of the list of ingredients means they used less and front of the list means they used that ingredient the most**

This is from "How to Choose cosmetic depending on Skin Type" Published by Korea Dermatologist Organization in 2008.10.23

Etude House Lock'n Summer Proof Cushion Eyeliner

Okay I actually needed bit more time to review this product, you know how I take at least 2~3 weeks before I actually review a product. But since everyone is asking me to do it. I hurried my posting :)
Actually I was quiet excited when they said Cushion eye liner.
I got curious, is it a new type of liquid? or what original product did they use? How well it works? Etc. My curiosity made me get the product and test it out. Of course there are my readers who asked too XD

Currently I am accepting orders for 30% discount on All product from Etude House
ONLY TILL JUNE 30TH
EMAIL ME : myteacupstory@gmail.com

There are 5 colors I got the black for this review~




Yes it has a brush inside which I was happy at fist but I realized this is start of the downfall.


As you can see it's very stiff and yes... it hurts it hurts my eyes so bad...
My eyes are sensitive part of my face and this poky brush will give pain whenever I sweep through a round line to draw eyeliner.

I tried with my eye line brush and it didn't work. 
You need to use the stiff kind of brush for this.
I just decided to use Clio kill black eyeliner I finished using this was a bit better. 


Since not everyone has the Clio Kill black eyeliner
If you use the brush this is what happens
The first line works perfectly, after that it doesn't work and the eyeliner dries so fast that the second sweep hurt my eyes.
This gets worse for underlines because I poked my eye with that stuffy brush.

Anyways test of Water proof and Oil proof
LOL, I don't even need to take a picture because there is nothing to take!
It erased so easily!!!
Wait... I thought this was water proof...

Now after a few days of using this I realized...
this eyeliner is liquid eyeliner just made into cushion.
If you have used liquid eyeliner before you know how it doesn't smug.
That I liked about this product.
It doesn't smear or smug it wouldn't even wash off too.
No I am not joking.. I had to use eye&lip remover and cleansing cream and cleansing deep foam to completely erase the eye liner

Overall Opinion
Great Idea... really, I see what they are trying to get here.
A not smearing waterproof oil proof product.
First off, it's not water or oil proof if you rub with water on your eyes or oil.
But yes it's not smearing because it's liquid eyeliner
The brush... I personally think you should just use gel eyeliner brush that is not irritating your eyes. It might first be hard to draw but it's no different as you do with Gel eyeliner
First you draw the tail outline and fill in the gap. Draw a thin line on the center.

I personally don't like liquid eyeliner mostly because it dries so fast
and if you try to fix it you'll end up having to start over
and make your eyes red.
Well, this product has that too.

I recommend to those who want something that really wouldn't smear
and would stay on as long as possible and who has a gel brush
that they can use instead of what is given.

After using a few weeks, I think I could get used to this product.
Because I love how it doesn't smear and is well proofed.
After I found the alternative to use another brush the irritation was okay :)

Etude House Lock'n Summer Any Cushion Proof

Etude House Lock'n Summer Cushion

Yeah! A water proofed cushion!!!
We've been waiting for this a quiet a while now. You know how moist cushion easily evaporates and disappear. This new Lock'n summer product promises waterproof cushion for the summer water games.

The lock and Summer Series comes with Cushion, Eyeliner, and Blusher.

Currently I am accepting orders for 30% discount on All product from Etude House
ONLY TILL JUNE 30TH

Etude House Lock'n Summer Precious Mineral Any Cushion
Has following effects
Sun Block, SPF50+ / PA+++ and Whitening Effect and Anti-Wrinkles Effect


Ingredients :
Low Warning , Middle Warning , High Warning
Purified water, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, Cyclopentasiloxane, ethoxy cinnamate in chilhek silme(Not for Dry Skin, sun Block ingredient), Dicaprylyl Carbonate, cyclohexanone siloxane, Cetyl PEG / PPG -10 / 1 dimethicone, niacinamide(Cuase Allergy), nylon-12, H DI / tri methyl ol hexyl lactone cross polymer, acrylate / Ethyl acrylate / dimethicone methacrylate copolymer,  sorbitan Te source acrylate, sodium chloride, aloe vera leaf extract, methyl methacrylate cross polymer, aluminum hydroxide side, Stearic Acid, Tok Sycamore tree frills reel silane, rilgeul glycol caprylate, hectorite dimonium distearate, disodium this is dt, Ethyl hexyl glycerin, adenosine, silica, phenoxyethanol(irritate skin), mother of pearl, yellow iron oxide, red iron oxide, black iron oxide, fragrance

The cushion comes as two colors
Light Beig and Natural Beige
The light beige came out bit lighter than the original N02 colors


This review I used Natural Beige W13




The Locker Cushion is the same size as the Any Cushion
But I like the case of this better :)


Nice Cushion type of sponge
When you press you can see this shape of powdery foundation on the puff
The texture of the cream is bit more powdery than the original Any Cushion.
But it still had the moist texture though.
They added Serum Control Powder and Aloe Extract
For Dry skin the Aloe extract helps keeps skin moist
For Oily Skin Serum control powder is great for oil control


Once I tap it on I could feel cooling.
The cooling effect is best for those who easily blemish under the heat!


Waterproof test!!!
After spraying mist and rubbing I did had bits come off
But overall it is well water proofed :)


This is the glow you get when you apply the cushion
I was so surprised of the coverage it has
It might didn't do complete cover of dark spots, but lighten it up very naturally.
If you are okay with bits of dark spots showing you might find yourself a product that will help with doing light makeup.
It had great pore coverage, a good product for oily skin with larger pores
I experience bit of massing with Any Cushion when it comes to crease under the eyes
With this product I was so happy it didn't mass among themselves under the eyes.
A good cling with nice glow. Just loving this product so much!

OVERALL COMMENT
I love how it has a good coverage
and the puff and the way the foundation comes out really helps with applying the cushion well around the face evenly. I really like the cling this product has.

I did feel that the moist last longer than the Any Cushion but it was still drying for my skin.
It will defiantly work for all oily skin because of the serum control it has
But dry skin you might need to do your skin care routine more moist when you use this cushion and take around mist when you feel dry.

I felt no darkening yes it does erase after 8 hours or so
But It was erase so much that I had to fix it right away, just a little.
So it's a product that don't need makeup fixing.
I go around with this cushion without fixing once. Unless my bad habit of leaning on my arm erased the foundation too much.

I did say it had oil control, but that doesn't mean it completely gets all the oil off.
I would say bring a good oil paper or serum powder and apply once in a while when you feel oily.

Get it Beauty Ep 7 Product List and Make up Method

I do love Jeong Seam Mool
She even has her own brand. Well, the skill she have shown will be very helpful to all makeup Beginners. And I think her method is the basic of Korean Makeup.

We took at look at her makeup desk I noticed two cosmetic she suggest for acne prone skin that is caused by the woman cycle. 
The Ample she showed was : Mikimoto Essence Capsule LCM
I think it's this, I am not too sure, but its a guess ;P


[출처] [미키모토 코스메틱] 겟잇뷰티 2014 7화 <프로의 기술을 훔치는 뷰티클래스>! NO.1 메이크업 아티스트 정샘물의 화장대에서 스킨케어 노하우를 배워보아요!|작성자 미키모토코스메틱
The first tip she had explained to us was Skin Care according to our condition.
This I have been doing. My skin is very seasonal so in the cold days it goes dry and in the summer it gets oily. During the dry times I use a lot of thick moisturizing product and even facial oil, but during oily days, I use the first serum from Skin food to wipe off oil, and apply skin and lotion and a moisturizing cream that is not too heavy but defiantly not oily.

Sometimes my skin is both dry and oily than I would apply deep cream around the parts that are oily and apply lighter product and serum control products on oily parts of the skin.

This is just a short example of how to change products according to your skin condition.
She explained how to keep the skin care effect long as possible, and that was using a Fixer.
In this episode the fixer she used was
VDL Beauty Finisher : help skin care moist glow last through the whole day without drying.
VDL Beauty Finisher
I am really really considering in getting one, because I do have the problem of the all moist skin care I have done doesn't last long enough for me and I would have to apply cream on top of my makeup. If I apply moisturizing cream on my hand and just place it on my skin it does help and doesn't move the makeup but still, it's not enough moist for me.

For the Face Makeup the skill she introduce was : THIN AND THICK, WARM AND COOL
For the foundation she used 
VDL Beauty Metal Cushion Foundation.

She explains how we have two different texture of skin
V zone tend to be thicker than the Star Zone.

If you wish to know all the zone once and for all check out my post here

V zone is where your skin is thicker than the rest of the skin

Star zone is where your skin is thinner than the rest of the skin


After you press out the foundation you are going to use well around the cushion puff
tap it slowly along the V zone, and go back up towards the eyes and keep tapping towards the nose and forehead. Now since you used most of the foundation on V zone these Star zone you are applying lighter. Now there's barely foundation left apply it on the rest of the part of the face just to blend the V zone.

Easy isn't? If you need more visual method watch my video again :)

For WARM AND COOL
It's all about covering the cool parts, which is all the dark part of your face
Dark circles, Around the Lips

These are the dark zone
Apply concealer or brightener to bright up these parts!
YvesSaintLaurent Concealer
I personally like this product but it's bit expensive for me, I like to use Clio VF or 3CE Eye brightener these two product is very similar to YvesSaintLaurent I even did a comparison with Clio VF brightener.

Next she showed us how to do eyeliner, the skin called : Lost and Found
It's better to see the way she did it through the video
But to make it simpler, you do the front and the tail of the eye thick and center thing by just connecting the eyelashes.

The pencil she used and the eye shadow pallet she used was
The Face Shop Lovely Mix Star Waterproof Gel Eyeliner

The eye shadow is the totally opposite from eyeliner
She would make the each end of the eye soft and bit more pigment for the center.
She used a eye shadow pallet : Mac Mineralize Eye Shadow X4

For the lips she used a cube shaped lip stick!
Defiantly on top of my shopping list!!
VDL expert color lip cube

There you have it the product names

NO IRRITATION Black Head Remover! Nella Fantasia Pore Jelly Pop Blackhead Remover

I found this wonderful product that has absolutely NO irritation.
If you have found your nose always red after pore care with mask or sticker or what ever you have used before. This is something you might be interested in.

I personally don't recommend this to sensitive skin it has way 3 ingredients that might find allergic to sensitive skin.


This is the Nella Fantasia Pore Jelly Pop Blackhead Remover
Phew what a long name, anyways I haven't heard of this brand before
But I hear this is a really a product to test out
And I decided to share it with you all

You can get this in a special price through me
(I got the VIP discount!)
IN FULL SET (3 products) You can see the set here in the price
(US$82.5) -> US$49.5

Now back to the product.
I will be reviewing one of the product Blackhead remover and give you my opinion on the rest of the product.

Ingredient
Purified water, propylene glycol, witch hazel water, ethanol, papaya fruit extract, sage leaf extract, Butylene Glycol, lemon extract bamip, beodok root extract, peppermint leaf extract, mistletoe extract, fruit extract dusong, soap grass-roots extract, Western pepper herb extract, acrylates / C10-30 alkyl acrylate polymer keuroso blood Fiji -26 - Part test -26, -40 PEG hydrogel jeneyi Painted castor oil(Not for Sensitive skin), potassium hydroxide, sodium polyacrylate, xanthan gum, D this is dt sodium, methyl perfluoro butyl ether, perfluoro isobutyl methyl ether, methyl ammonium acrylic tau ildi rate / V pico polymer, methyl paraben(Not for Sensitive Skin), phenoxyethanol(Not for sesntive skin, propylparaben(Not for sesnitive skin), lemon oil, jasmine oil, the West rose flower Oil


This is the Brush
Close -> Open
All you need to do is turn the top lid


There is a hole in the middle where the cream will come out if you squeeze
Than rub it around your nose.

Remember to wash your face after you massage your nose
Than you can apply the Pore Serum than apply the Pore Scaling This will help your pore to tighten and reduce the blackhead from forming.
Also helps with oil override. This three product is great of intense care.

Overall Opinion
Blackhead remover
Actually, although this might differ between people, it might not do anything for the first~three times. If you remember using sticker to pull out black heads and intense irritating mask that makes your nose red even if it's clean, it hurts, also the redness means irritation which might help you get more black heads in the future or even widen the pores.
Mostly they don't do much for oil care afterwards.
If you wish something alternative that don't have these con's to fast rid of blackheads and something that you can use everyday. This product will work for you.
For me after 4~5 days I start to see difference.
I love how you can reuse the brush even if you finished the cream inside :)

Now, not everything is good about this product
There is bit of strange smell from the cream which is not really a good scent to smell the whole time you do the massage.
Also, you have to clean the brush every time you use this, which might be bit more annoying than just throwing away the mask sheet or sticker.

Pore Control Gel
This is one of the set product
This is to moisturize your pores for 24hrs
Also has serum control so it will control oil that comes out of your nose which is helpful for not forming any more black heads. After care sometimes your nose get dry but this really helps moisturize your nose and has this coolness that feel refreshing.

Personally the moist doesn't last 24hrs
But it is moist enough for the nose and any irritation if you did get any
Also since it's well moisturized less oil comes out of the nose also since it control oil around the nose, it helps with preventing makeup melting in the morning
I like how you can use it all over your face so if you have oily T zone or just oily skin
This might be helpful

Pore Scaling
After shaving boys would apply scaling moose to make the skin smooth
Same concept, makes your pores smooth
Very similar to Sampar pore essence

The ingredients isn't as so good but all serum product I used the ingredients is similar :/

Self Test What Type of Skin Are You?

There are two ways it's best to take both for more actuate result.
But please remember this is not as actuate as you would if you visit Dermatology for check up.

QUESTION SHEET

ANSWER SHEET
A : Dry Skin -> Product for Dry skin
How to Care? Use products that has heavy moisturizing features
B : Normal Skin -> Product for All skin
Normal skin, I would call gift from Heaven, because its not easy to have this and keep your skin healthy. Remember you can easily change to different skin type to keep your skin normal, rememeber to use good whitening products and good cleansing and sleeping pack can help!
C : Combination Skin -> Product for Combination skin
Combination skin, a skin that is costly mostly because you need to care your oily zone, T and U zone like Oily skin and rest like dry skin.
I like to use cleansing water to clean off oil around T zone and U zone where it's oily
and use No Oil product for deep moisturizing.
D : Oily Skin -> Product for Oil skin
What I stress the most is CLEANSING for oily skin,
Its important you get a good cleansing or all that oil will clog your pores and cause acne. 
Use Deep Cleansing Products and a good water cleanser before you apply skin products will be good morning start. Use products that has NO Oil and has acne curing effect. Always have spot serum products for acne around and apply when ever you can.

AFTER FACE WASH TEST
1. After you use a none irritating cleanser
2. Wait for 3 hours without any thing on your skin after face wash
So no lotion, no skin, so nothing.
3. Place Oil Paper on top of your nose, cheeks, chin, forehead. 
Press and wait for 20 sec. 
Since we don't have 4 hands, you can do individual test on each area.

Now check how much oil is on your oil paper

RESULTS
Dry Skin : No Oil At All
Normal Skin : There is bit of bury oil marks
Oily Skin : You can clearly see oil marks
Combination : You see different amount of oil on different areas

Innisfree Mineral Glow Base, Perfect Makeup Base for Dewy Korean Makeup

I like innisfree but this line isn't my favorite, but since my reader asked me to do a review about this line, (I know I have a long list of request to do) Finally I found something in this line that I liked and that was the glow base.


I don't like the innisfree mineral melting cushion because it is too drying and I see no dewy glow it promises. 

I don't like the mineral fixer because the spray is so thick I get some part of my face too much fixer and some parts none.

There is the glow base stick, nice product really nice glow and great for highlighter on top of foundation. Unlike most highlighter the color is beige and has small pearl that makes it even more natural.

Today's review is about the Glow Base and Glow Base Stick. This is the two products I liked about Innisfree Mineral Glow Base, this line came out a while now but I know there are girls out there who are interested.

This is the Innisfree Mineral Glow Base and Glow Stick
15000won / 20ml and 12000won / 12g

Innisfree Mineral Glow Base has this nice clean pump
One pump is enough for the face of course there is bit different with each person.


The cream texture is very moist and had this pinkish color
But it didn't show when I spread the cream,
Just had this watery glow


It had no oil just a lot of moist as you can see the oil paper wet around the cream.

This makeup base is not really for coverage but more for 
tone clearing and making your skin texture smooth
and give a very light watery glow


Innisfree Glow Stick is one of those skin toned highlighters
I know there are girls who don't like the white color of other brand's highlighter
Because it gives off a pale look or it just doesn't match your skin color
But this glow stick has this very small and beautiful glitter
and since it's a skin color it will be so much natural


The color is very close to goldish vanilla I liked how it brings in better glow into the skin
ARG, sorry for the Before After picture
I didn't do my pore tightening care these days because I was too busy
The after picture I used the mineral glow base and added glow stick under the eyes
You can see the natural glow it bring to the face.

Overall I love the moist finish of the mineral glow base
It doesn't get dry even until the afternoon.
Yes it does has that small glitters inside the base
But its small enough so that it is not seen
However if you find allergic reactions from these glitter I suggest not to get this base.
I suggest this mineral glow base to dry and combination skin
To oily skin because it is not really moist and has no oil control
You might find your face greasy.

The glow stick is for anyone who does not like the normal white, pale brightener
and is looking for a creamy type, so that the pearls would not fall out
or looks bit fake.
I personally like to use cream or liquid type of highlighter because it gives more natural glow to the face than powder. Plus powder I experience too much fall outs and lands on my black jackets. Defiantly for those who love natural watery glow makeup
