Every 2 months or so, I look forward to finishing my skincare, hair, body products etc so that I can go exploring for new one.
In March, I got into Etude's new line of products. The "Etude House Every Month Cleansing Foam".
 |
| cr: my fat pocket. |
Of course, 12 months is just a advertising gimmick on its part.
It is just a line of "Facial Cleanser in 12 different flavours".
Which is super a lot of choices for just one series of facial foam.
Basically, the 12 flavours/cleansing foam of the months are
01 - Avocado & Butter – Deep Moisturizing
02 - Pomegranate & Berry – Firming
03 - Apple & Tomato – Tone Clarifying
04 - Lemon & Garlic – Purifying
05 - Green Tea - Fresh & Clean
06 - Tea Tree – Trouble Care
07 - Aloe Vera – Soothing Relief
08 - BlueBerry – Revitalizing
09 - Rice – Richly Moist
10 - Green Vegetable – Clean Moisture
11 - Walnut – Smooth & Nourishing
12 - Red Wine – Soft & Moist
Make a guess, which one i chose ~
 |
| 12- Red wine ! |
 |
| Instructions ~ |
It took me awhile to blog about it, also because I want to make sure that the products are really working and after 1 month of using it....
I really like it. My skin type belongs to fairly oily and I perspire easily. But so far, red wine have been keeping it pretty moist and my oily skin have toned down.
Its only W3,500 in Korea and sgd$6 in Singapore. Making it a fairly decent buy.
My bottle of 100ml is finishing (after about 2 months of usage) and I cant wait to try another "flavour" !
[Updated ! ]
After I finish the "Red Wine" one (actually I did not finish it, its a short story of housemates finishing and putting water in and me getting really... flabbergasted. )
I went out to get myself another flavour !
AVOCADO !
 |
| NUMBER 1 ! |
 |
| Gone is my fluffy background, hello boxer lookalike bg ! |
I chose the avocado one purely out of the smell, it smells really expensive.
As compared to the red wine, it came out thicker in cream but still lathers very well.
It works as good as the red wine one in terms of oil control and all.
Innisfree latest range of toothpaste.
Out of curiosity, I decided to buy the citrus mint to try.
 |
| Affordable at 4000won. |
 |
| 50g, last about 1 month. |
 |
| Clear gel. |
The toothpaste does not lather a lot, probably because it is a gel type.
The toothpaste taste slightly funny like a wrong mix of taste.
It is tangy from the citrus yet it is slightly spicy because of the mint.
I am perplexed by the taste.
After 3weeks of using it, I am beginning to experience sensitive teeth that I never had before.
This may or may not be the toothpaste, I am thinking that the toothpaste is not having enough coverage.
I am finishing this tube and shall switch back to my normal one once I am done and let readers know if it is indeed the toothpaste causing the sensitive teeth !
After 1 month back on my regular toothpaste, I conclude the Innisfree Toothpaste was indeed somehow making my gum/teeth extremely sensitive for no reason I can come up with ...
Strange indeed.
Another products I got recently to try is the
"Etude House Sunshine in Spoon Scrub Massage Raspberry Yogurt"
I am a sucker for all yogurt products.
I have no idea why but i love love love all yogurt-related products.
For the longest time that I can remember, Etude house has a series of spoon scrub divided into yogurt type, cream type, oil type and bubble type.
It came in a 2 times use only container till the bottled one came out recently.
I dont really believe in scrub massage. I am the kind of person who will use that metal stick thing and squeeze out all the dirt in my skin.
I used to have an exfoliator/scrub massage gel that costed me $60 a month and totally not work, for less then a friction of that money, I can just stick to my loyal metal stick.
While doing my monthly shopping at Etude, I decide to maybe, give this scrub massage thing another shot.

| Raspberry ~ |
The instructions state that after using the normal cleanser, dry off the face and hand and in circular motion, massage gently for 2~3minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.
My previous experience with scrub massage usually has dead/flaky skin coming off as I rub, but this one has nothing but sediments thats is already in the scrub. After using this, my skin condition remains the same. It cost w7,000 with absolutely no effect... I even use a cleansing glove to try to maximize the potential.
Oh well, guess it is another failed product ... Back to my metal stick ...
