REVIEW: Baviphat (not cruelty free) Apple AC Sleeping Pack MINI -does this do ANYTHING? :( 1 Star

Brand: Baviphat
Product Type: Facial Sleeping Pack
Origin: ?
Tested on Animals: unknown status, but sold in China. Yes.


My first Baviphat product...

It comes in a little apple shaped container like Tony Moly & B&C (i think B&C was first to start this packaging with their lip gloss and cream)
Size: ml - mini - it's REALLY tiny! And IMO they could fit more in than they do because it's not even full. 1/5
Packaging: 3/5 -really cute apple shaped container - minus a star because it's been done before...
Color: It's actually apple colored...Texture: 4/5 Smooth & creamy
Lastability: 1.5/5 It may only last 3 uses if that. It's a mini, but the content is more that of a sample...
Scent: 4/5 Great! Very sweet Apple scent...
Effect: 0/5 ...o_o...nothing...i finally remembered to put it on at night and the next morning...nothing!

That's a score of...13.5 out of 30.
Overall: pass on this and try something else...

REVIEW: Etude House(not completely cruelty free) Magic Bubble Peeling (foam) -2 stars

Brand: Etude House
Line: (Magic Bubble)
Product Type: Peeling (foam)
Origin: South Korea
Tested on Animals: Sold in China



I ordered this because it was a decent price on Etude USA and I want to try all the Asian peeling products... I didn't like the Moistful one very much at all...

Note:
(The standard peeling gel (Laneige, SkinFood, Missha) is applied to dry skin and rubbed in.)
This is actually a foam in a tin-like bottle with a spray foam nozzle. Like shaving cream...

Summary:
I wasn't expecting much from a metal/tin tube, especially when it came out looking exactly like shaving cream. However, unlike the Moistful Peeling "Wash", there was a little peeling and there was moisture afterwards.  Magic Bubble line -the packaging design is kind of bland and i didn't notice it immediately...You rub it on your face, rub it in until it starts peeling (very minimal amount no matter how long you do it), and then rinse. Actual peeling effect is grey, which is kind of gross...This is NOT going to take off very much dead skin at all, and I question if it takes anything off?

On to the review...

Size: ml -
Packaging: 3/5 Purple un-traditional tin-like bottle with a nozzle. Art features a fairy/pixie. Not very eye-catching and more feminine than cute or girly. Etude always has a new theme gimmick line.
Color: white foam
Texture: 3.5/5 Smooth yet foamy, sticky when rubbed into skin...
Lastability: UNKNOWN. Since it's a tin, you can't tell how full it is, but a lot comes out when sprayed...
Scent: 4/5
Ease of Use: 5/5 Spray and use.
Effect: 3.5/5 Somewhat smooth skin after-wards. Somewhat moisturized. What I would have expected from the failure of Moistful...
The Verdict: I'm done with foam or spray or alternative peeling products. Only gel from here on out.
There was a tiny bit of peeling, but not enough to make it worth it.

REVIEW: Etude House (not completely cruelty free) *Moistful* Peeling Wash (fail w/ the peeling)3 stars

Brand: Etude House
(Line: Moistful)Product Type: Peeling "WASH"
Origin: South Korea

I ordered this because it was a decent price on Etude USA @ $12.99 and I wanted to try the Moistful line (I also got the mist, 8.99) because of the name and the pretty pink bubble designs...
Also because the Sherbet line isn't available to the US

Summary: It's pretty, it's pink, it has a nice scent...
Here's the problem. It says "Peeling Wash", not peeling gel, and I think it shouldn't really even have "peeling" in the name because it's false advertising.
The standard peeling gel (Laneige, SkinFood, Missha) is applied to dry skin and rubbed in. That's where it "peels".
(There is debate on whether it's actual skin or the product granules itself FYI)
This impostor peeler has very VERY minimal actual peeling. It's also thicker and instead of just wiping your face with a washcloth, you actually have to rinse this off. Then my face felt slightly sticky. Not "Moistful" as advertised.


On to the review...

Size: ml -pretty small compared to Laneige
Packaging: 5/5 Pretty...The Moistful line is pale pink (the color of this text) with bubbles. This comes in a traditional squeeze tube.
Color: A strange clear gel Texture: 4/5 Cool and smooth, but very thick
Lastability: 3/5 When you squeeze it, a ton comes out and it's not that big of a tube...
Scent: 4/5 Clean perfume scent, a little over-powering
Effect: 2/5  Hardly any peeling, but afterwards skin does feel moisturized.
Overall: 3/5 I didn't notice any difference from a regular facial wash, and it left behind a slightly sticky feeling. I wouldn't get it again!

REVIEW: Laneige (TESTS ON ANIMALS) Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel [5/5] *LOVE*

Brand: Laneige
Product Type: peeling gel
Origin: Korea

I've been wanting this for a while, (although I did find the mini sample tube and had to resist the urge to order like 5 of them....) and I finally found it for a decent-ish price...
Love the scent, love the packaging (also comes in a glossy paper box) AND it works!
There is some debate about peeling gels - whether the squishy balls that come off when you rub it into your skin is actually dead skin or ampules in the product that are designed to ball up and take dead skin off. So in the little balls would be dead skin, but the balls per-se are NOT dead skin...?
QUICK REVIEW:
Packaging: Pretty pink tube that comes in a glossy paper box
Scent: Strawberry-like (I am going to avoid that "yummy word" and not tell you that "i wanted to eat it but stopped myself" since that's all I ever hear about this product and it grates on my nerves!)
Texture: Smooth and cool with little grains
Effect: Super-smooth skin!
Price: $20 shipped
other: @ 150 ml, a great size!

REVIEW: Missha (not cruelty free) Watery BB Cream [3.5/5]

photos coming soon...

REVIEW:

Color: A dark dark beige that blends right into fair skin...dewy, no shimmer

Texture: light, smooth

Coverage:very good...but not as good as Lioele Beyond The Solution...

Lastability: Pretty well. Did not have to reapply all day...
Scent: neutral kind of "cosmetic chemicals" smell. I don't like it but it fades.

Effect:A matte look
Other: SPF 27

Packaging: Tube same design as box - iridescent white with green spots, iridescent silver logo

Price: $12 shipped - ^_^

Overall: great coverage, very portable, gorgeous tube. But Lioele BTS is still better and until I find one better than that...
