[Cosmetics Review] Missha - Black Ghassoul Foam Cleansing Bar

Hey all, back with another review!

I previously blogged that I would be posting about the my foam cleansing bar that I bought and got a few samples with, and here it is! It's Missha's Black Ghassoul Foam Cleansing Bar! I can't read Korean, but the lady at the shop told me that it was 3 in 1, so it's a cleansing foam, a bubble pack and soap (Got these translations off google translate...exact word for word from the box).

The box and what's inside.

Inside the box (it's a small box, a little bigger than a Dove soap bar box if you've ever had one) is a bar of black soap in a plastic packaging, and also a white mesh mini bag that the soap is supposed to be in. 

So the lady told me that "you need to put only a little bit of water on it, then apply to the T-zone and cleanse". They also said that the soap would run out a lot quicker if used with a lot of water. 

When used, it smells a bit like sesame and black bean together - so kind of like those Asian ingredients you see in their cuisine. It also foams up rather well only with a little water. 

So I trialed this for a week or so, just to see results. It's a daily wash/soap and results do not show immediately. I only applied this to the T-zone, and massaged in circular motions. It leaves the skin fairly clean, but I follow up with another daily cleanser or scrub/mask. Honestly, after using it for a week or so, it was easier to see the dried sebum in the skin (you know, the ones that are incredibly hard to get rid of?), and it had gotten just a tiny bit darker. It could only be seen if I looked really closely, so it was nothing to be worried about. The following days after, I couldn't see the dark spots anymore, but the sebum was still there. A positive thing though, was when a pimple was forming, it would kind of 'stop it' from forming any further, then it dies down after a day or two. 

I think that this soap doesn't cleanser deep down, so it only got rid of the top of the dried sebum, not the whole thing. 



What I like:

• It cleanses the T-zone nicely
• It has an alright smell
• Can be used daily
• Can 'stop' a pimple from fully forming (maybe it's a combination of the skincare I use...)

What I dislike:

• Didn't get rid of all the dried sebum
• Foam is not "silky foamy" but kind of like the very watery dry-bubble foamy
• Extra application of other washes/scrubs afterwards

Rating: ❤❤❤ 3/5

Hope this review helps :)

[Book Review] Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare

Hey all you people!

I swear this is the first book that I actually wanted to read for this whole year...and it's none other than one of Cassandra Clare's books! Her books are absolutely amazing, so expect more from me in the future!

Right, so I'm not going to spoil this book, just going to give a brief outline and some interesting points to it ^_^

It's a 20 chapter book, but it's about 472 pages? There's also a prologue, but that's really short. Before you start complaining about how long the book is, I just want to say that 'you can't judge a book by it's length'.
Although this is really long, the prologue sucks you in and traps you in a darker world that is antique yet mysterious. It's set in the Victorian Era, which I really like, and the description of it is very well done, same to the writing itself.

The person on the cover is Will Herondale.

It's kind of a love story, but yet, the scenes for it are very...little, in the first book. Honestly, all that description in that lovey-dovey scene made me cringe. But that may just be because I don't know how to handle those kind of "new descriptions" lol xD

Yes, there's a lot of description in this book. That's what makes it intriguing, and all the more amazing. 

The plot - it's really...clever. But also kind of cliche. It's also very mysterious and keeps me wondering, and at the end, it punches you in the face and it's not who you thought it was! (You might not get that line now, but you will when you read it...)

I don't want to rant on too much about this! It's such an amazing book, you have got to read it! >u<

I hope I didn't sound too biased! :(

Till next time~

PS. Will Herondale is one of the lead males in this with Jem. He's the love interest, and the main girl is called Tessa Gray. I was a little disappointed in how Will looked as I thought of him to be very handsome (as described in the book) but I guess everyone has different opinions....oh wells.
