Etude House - Magic Crystal Pack Peeling

I love face cleaning products and I love peeling products. Why? Because it helps you get rid of all that dead skin that is clogging up your pores and leading to ugly skin.

I use about 6 products in a rotation because I like the different effects that each have. Also I like to tell people I use all the stuff I buy.

Now first off I do not have sensitive skin. At all so I have to offer a nice warning to ladies who do. I love to read other blogs about Korean makeup and my favorite is Lotus Palace she also blogs about Japanese makeup too. Here is her post on her use of Magic Crystal Pack Peeling: http://lotuspalace.blogspot.com/2008/09/etude-house-magic-crystal-pack.html


As you can see it is very creamy and you can see some of the particles in this picture. Also it has a perfumed scent I still can't remember what it reminds me of but I find it pleasant. So how do you use this product. Well I put on about a quarter sized drop and then I massaged it in for a few seconds. Then you leave it on until it dries and then rinse it off with water. I use a wash cloth to remove it just because I like to be extra clean. It does have a drying effect so you might want to follow up with a moisturizer. It cost 11,000 won but I have a discount at 9,900 won or about (8.60/7.75) in U.S. dollars. I rate it a 4.8/5.

Etude House - Sweet Appleade Collection

I just adore Etude House the girls who work there are always so nice and even when we can't always talk they somehow help me out.


So I noticed they had a new collection for summer I had to have it. I really like this product the scent is sweet like a granny smith apple. Really refreshing and nice not over powering and I have yet to detect a hidden scent. You know how sometimes you wear a lotion or perfume and at the end of the night it smells weird. With this product I have not encountered that problem.


Slim Body Gel (Sorry it's blurry)
Supposed to help slim the body and provide a cooling effect. Also with some slimming gels it has a gross slimy feel this one absorbs completely. Also I feel really fresh afterwards I don't know if it's actually slimming or not but I like it anyways. It costs 7,000 won so I got it for 6,300 won or about 5.40/4.90 U.S.


Body Wash
Same great scent great washing power. It creates great bubbles and a little goes a long way. I really like it for my summer body wash. It costs 6,000 but I paid 5,400 or about 4.70/4.20 U.S.

Body Lotion
A very nice body lotion not too thick, not too thin. It was just right in my opionion and it helped with my dry heels. It costs 6,000 but I paid 5,400 or about 4.70/4.20 U.S.

Body Scrub
This is a great body scrub it has thick grandules in it to help scrub off all that dead skin. You should use your hands and scrub until grandules disolve. It costs 7,000 won so I got it for 6,300 won or about 5.40/4.90 U.S.


Foot Spray
Used to deodorizer and freshen feet all day long. I use other products for this but I thought it would be nice to try out the whole collection. It was very cooling and I didn't have any odor at the end of the day. I wear sandals mostly so I don't really have odor that way. I will have to try it out with the really old sneakers and see how well it fares. It costs 4,500 but I paid 4,050 or about 3.50/3.00 U.S.


So I love the whole collection I give it a 5/5.

Missha - Facial Choco Cacao Scrub

I really like chunky scrubs because they are great at removing blackheads and other pore clogging material. Also they help remove dead skin cells and leave your face feeling smooth and clean.

I really like chocolate because it's so yummy. So when I saw that Missha had a chocolate scrub I knew I had to buy it. It comes in a nice heavy glass jar that looks classy, I hate really cheap looking packaging.

As you can see the scrub is nice and thick and it has visible granules of sugar. It has a simply delicious scent of really good chocolate. I have to admit that I even licked it a little as the jar says edible, it tastes great too. But I'm not going to eat anymore this is for beauty use only from now on.


After I scrubbed about a quarter size drop on to my face I let it sit for a minute or so then I wet it down a little as it is a rather dry mixture and when to town scrubbing. The mixture lacks the usual heavy oil that most companies add to scrubs of this kind here in Korea. After I dried my face I was amazed at how soft my skin felt and how clean. I still followed it up with a cleansing foam just to make sure I didn't leave any behind.

This is simply a great product it has a great smell and a great scrubbing power. It's granules are not too big or too abrasive and they dissolve at the perfect rate. The scrub cost 9,800 Won at $7.75 U.S. so not a bad price either for such a good product in such nice packaging. 5/5
