[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 :)

[Cosmetics Review] Daiso - Collagen Hand Cream

Hi all, how are you? I'm back with another review! :D

This one's from one of the cheaper stores, but I got it so that I could do a review, and also because I was short on hand cream, haha~! It's $2.80 for anyone in Australia :)

For this Daiso hand cream range, there were 2 types. One was collagen (the one I got), and the other was hyaluronic acid. Both of them, in short, are supposed to make the skin softer and moisturized, along with making the skin more elastic.

Elegant looking?

Hand cream blob!

The cream comes in an easy squeeze plastic tube, which is decorated like those 20th century floral designs inside wealthy households. It gives off a kind of elegant feel...but at the same time it doesn't...^^;;

What it looks like after the cream is spread

For a product that I bought on a whim, it's not that bad. The smell is quite nice; a somewhat floral fragrance. The cream itself is white and is easy to spread, but the odd thing is, is that after spreading it on the hands, it starts to become thicker and harder to spread (kinda like a wax based product). I didn't really mind that, but it was annoying that it also became stickier as well, and I couldn't touch anything for about 5 minutes or so. Otherwise, my hands would become really smooth.

What I liked:

• Fragrance
• The nice touch at the end

What I disliked:

• The thickness after spreading it once
• Stickiness afterwards
• "meh" packaging

Rating: ❤❤ 2/5

I wouldn't buy this again, only because I absolutely hate the stickiness and the waxiness when spreading. 
Hope this helped with your shopping ^_^

[Cosmetics Review] Missha - Super Aqua Refreshing Cleaning Foam

Hey guys!

First review haha~

When I went to Missha the other day, I got some free samples after I got this cleansing foam bar (which I'll blog about later) and a few other things! 

So among the samples that they gave, there was another cleansing foam, from Missha's Super Aqua range! It's the called "Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam". 

This was the sample - the bottle should look like the one on it.

The foam had a fresh smell, and a tinge of a flowery fragrance, but not overpowering at all, which I like. The foam itself is white and somewhat metallic and shiny. It's a tiny bit thick, but very smooth as well.

It became quite foamy when a bit of water is added.

Left with brighter looking skin.

As you can see, it's quite foamy. I added a little bit of water and that's what happens. It's very nice to massage the face with, and leaves it really clean and makes the skin somewhat whiter and a tad bit dewy and glowy too. But that goes away after a few minutes and the skin is left feeling refreshed and smooth!

What I like:

• Fragrant, light and fresh scent, somewhat flowery
• Foaminess
• Glowy and dewy finish 
• Squeaky clean skin afterwards, no residue of makeup left

What I dislike:

• It takes a little bit of time to wash off the foam (so that the skin doesn't feel slimy-ish)

Overall, I would love to buy this product! :)
