Tony Moly - Aroma Rose - Pack/Wash Off


Packaging: It comes in a light pink plastic jar with a lighter pink lid. The description is in English on the lid.

Information: You can either use this as a pack that you let absorb into the skin or as a wash off type face product. Depends on your preferences.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: It is a light pink gel with an overpowering smell of roses. I can't stand to use this product it has a really strong smell. It's texture is light and fluffy. It would be a great product if it toned down the scent.


Instructions: It's instructions are all in Korean. But either leave on until absorbed or wash off after 15 or 20 minutes.

Cost: I recieved it free with purchase. Otherwise it is 5,800 won in stores or on the website. You get 100 ml of product.

Rating: Way too strong a scent. 1/5.


Tony Moly - Fresh Aqua Watery Cream


Packaging: It comes in a blue and white sparkly glass jar. With a blue and chrome lid.

Information: This is a moisturizer that can be used for day or night. It is water based and very light. It is intended for sensitive or problematic skin.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: It is very light and cool, it goes on and absorbs very quickly. It has a light perfumed smell, with citrus tones.


Instructions: It's instructions are all in Korean. But like all moisturizers apply after cleansing and before makeup application. Wait for 5 or 10 minutes before putting on makeup or it might make your foundation or power look strange.


Cost: In stores and on the website 14,000 won. When I bought it was on sale for 12,000 won with a free Aroma Rose pack. Which I shall review next.

Rating: I like this product because it is not heavy and absorbs really quickly. Also I had never used moisturizer before moving to Korea so this is a very good product for someone who is just starting out too. I give it a 5/5.

Tony Moly - Appletox - Smooth Massage Peeling Cream


Packaging: It comes in an adorable green apple shaped container. With a little stem sticking up to hold the leaf shaped directions and product information. Really cute and clever.

Information: This product is used to smooth and peel away dead skin by letting the product sit for a few minutes then massaging the product off. It is not a very clean method ladies and gentlemen, so when I use this product I put it on before my shower and remove in the shower. Otherwise you will get it all over your shirt.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: It is a white thick cream with a hint of apple smell. It is not an overpowering product with it's scent.


Instructions: It's instructions are all in Korean. So I was to lazy to translate but the girl at the store gave me some basic instructions. First put a thin layer of the cream on your skin, a little thinner then below. It should be white but you should be able to see through it. Then let sit until it is almost dry, about 10 or 15 minutes, may take longer in humid climates. Do not leave on longer then 20 or 30 minutes. Then go to the sink or shower and try to rub off, if product is not rubbing off or is irritating the skin use a few drops of water. Rub until all product is off, then wash your face. And you are all finished. *I would be very careful with this product if you have sensitive skin, I think this product is not intended for sensitive skin, it makes me a little red sometimes after use.* I would use this product at night.


Cost: In stores and on the website 8,800 for 80 grams. I paid 7,000 for it.

Rating: It is a good product and helps you have cleaner smoother skin, but I would be careful with sensitive skin. I really love this product so I give it a 5/5.

Tony Moly - Tomato Brightening Pack


Packaging: As you can see it comes in a cute little tomato shaped jar. When I was shopping it really caught my eye, because it was so red and very cute. So I had to buy it.

Information: This product is used to brighten the appearance of your face, it does so by removing dead skin. I don't have sensitive skin but this product does seem mild to me. You will look more youthful and glowing after use. This is not a whitening product.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: It is white with small red colored balls. It's scent is slightly tomato with a hint of cucumber. It has a creamy texture that is not very heavy.


Instructions: It's instructions are all in Korean. But I took the time to translate them. Skin should be dry before using this product, then take the product and smooth out a thin layer. It should be white like below but not as thick as the the upper one I had not rubbed in yet. It should look more like the lower part. In the store they have the model with a very thick layer on, but you don't need to use that much. Leave on at least 5 minutes, I leave on ten or twenty. Then rinse off using a circle motion. I actually use a sponge face cleaner to remove. Then I always wash my face to make sure I get it off.


Cost: 7,800 Won for 70 grams of product. I got a discount so my final price was 7,000 Won.

Rating: I really love this product it makes you look so good, I have just been really sick but my skin looks fabulous because of it. I would give it a 5/5 the cost isn't too high and it really is a great product.

Tony Moly - Return to Age Eye Cream


Packaging: As you can see it comes in a cute little jar. The label is embossed and decorated in a pretty and understated way. The Tony Moly website says this is supposed to be 50 ml, my jar is 30 ml. I did get it as service so that might be why there is a discrepancy in volume.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: It has a light cream color, it has a light scent that is rather neutral. It almost reminds me of a Clinque product. It is a very creamy product that is very good at not being to heavy or too light. I think it is just right, it doesn't leave a greasy residue either. In the picture below I had not rubbed it in, it is just to show what it looks like out of the jar.


Instructions: It's instructions are all in Korean. Like a typical eye cream apply twice daily and let set before applying cosmetics.

Cost: For me it was free, I shop way too much. This was a service item (service is something Korean people give out as free based on the amount you spend). It was the middle service item, but still it was a very good freebie. Price on website and in stores is 13,000 Won.

Rating: I give it a 5/5 it is a very good eye cream and when I finish the jar I will definitely re buy.

Tony Moly - Fashionista - Lip & Eye Collection (Brown)

I normally don't like cream shadows because they tend to crease quite badly. But I was pleasantly surprised by how well this shadow held up, it didn't crease and it lasted all night long.

It comes in the classic black and silver box that is typical of the Party Lover line. When you pull it out you will notice that it is rather small and compact, one really great feature they added was magnets. My other eyeshadow/compact duo does not have that feature and while I love it I would never take it in my purse, nothing like powder on all your stuff to ruin your day.


The next level is four eye shadows as you can see below. A brown, copper, pink and white/highlighter. Sorry the picture is a little blurry, but I was in a hurry to leave that night and I wanted to take pictures before I used it. They are a really nice selection of colors, light and dark so you can play around with mixing and create new colors. As I said above they don't crease which is hard to find in a cream shadow.


In the lip tray you have a base (white), gloss with a light glitter (big light pink on left) a dark wine color with dark red sparkles, and nice pink color with light pink glitter. The glitter is not chunky. I actually prefer to mix the two shades for a nice going out shade.



I really like this product, great value for your money. I have no clue what I paid but I want to say it wasn't over 12,000 won? But I'm not sure, I give it a 5/5.


Tony Moly -Bubble Foam Cleanser- Three pack


I love Tony Moly and it doesn't help that when I go grocery shopping I have to pass a small shop on the first floor to make it to the escalator to the grocery section on the second floor. I have an addiction I try to avoid shopping too much, I don't think I succeed.

But that's ok I admit I have a problem and I look beautiful while I do. Lol, anyways I love cleansers and I adore ones that bubble. Bubble cleansers are usually nice and fluffy. These met that important feature. I've only used the Honey one and I'm sending my sister the Rice one, he he. When I'm finished with the Honey I will move on to Blueberry. Sounds tasty.

I really think this is a great cleanser, I've not had any problems with any Tony Moly product, the packaging is always cute and they always give me tons of freebies. I rate it 5/5 I think I paid around 14,000 but I'm not sure I have had this for over a month I've just been busy with work and life to post.

UPDATE: The honey had a light and sweet scent, blueberry was very fruity and sweet smelling, and the rice is a rather neutral scent.

Tony Moly Trio Eyeshadow # 3

I just adore the packaging on this. It's simple yet classic, with a beautiful ivy pattern printed on the lid. It has three colors a blue, silver and a white.
It is not an even split which I would have liked, or even the blue being the biggest part would have been better to me. But still I really like this eyeshadow trio.

As you can see the split is half the 2 quarters. I'm sorry I'm harping on this but the white is so light its a weird color to give the majority to. Also I really like the colors and they are a shimmery metallic. But they look much more vibrant in the package.

So when I got home I expected something that was going to be a night club item and got something I could actually wear to work. I can get it pop like I expected but I have to wet the colors and I don't always want to take the time to do that.

Tony Moly - PartyLover Fashionista Shimmer Lover Collection - Brown

This was my first venture into Tony Moly. I decided to try some new things and branch out a little bit from my usually shopping.


It comes in a nice compact with a large mirror on the front. The compact opens like a fan which I could see some problems with the design. I would not put this in my purse for fear it would open and break.

The first part of the compact is a lovely powder. It is a perfect match for me but someone paler or even a little darker it wouldn't match at all.

The second fan is a 5 part blusher/highlight/shadow combo. I don't really wear blush and when I do it is light. They are lovely colors that have a shimmer but are not grainy with glitter.

The first is a white, then a light pink, a dark brown bronze color, then a pink/red bronze and finally a dark brown.

I use the dark brown as an eyeliner, the two dark shades as lower lid eye shadow depending on what I wear that day. And the pink and white as an upper lid color.

The last tray contains a compact sponge and a brush for blush/lids.

A great buy at 18,000 won (around $13 U.S. at purchase). I bought one for my sister and once she gets it I hope she will also review here too.
