Annyong haseyo!!!~ :) Late night review ~,< Tonight’s review will be about Nature Republic’s Young Green Tea Leaf Toner! I got this last December! And because it’s a hot product, it always gets out of stock @,@

I got curious about why it’s called Boseong’s Young Green Tea…

Found out that Boseong is actually a place in Korea. Because of its lush fields of greenery and tree-lined roads it became the perfect backdrop for many movies and miniseries in Korea! 

OMO! They even have a festival called the ’Boseong Green Tea Festival’, and this year they are going to celebrate on May 16~20! :D

To know more about Boseong Green Tea and the Culture of Korea~ visit http://asiaenglish.visitkorea.or.kr

The toner supplies a moisturizing nutrient extracted from Boseong’s young green tea leaves.

Upon opening the cap~ It’ll be sealed! To ensure that the goodness is sealed in! XD :>

Product smells like green tea that is made more fragrant :)

Onul Chonyok (Tonight~)!!!! I’ll be reviewing a mask from none other than… Tony Moly! :) I got this a few days back and since I wanted to relax yesterday I tested this one out! :D

What made me get this mask is that it has GREEN TEA <3 one of my favorite drinks of all time :) And I know that green tea is really great for the skin!

Green tea catechins are anti-bacterial and can decrease hormone activity. This means green tea is an effective way to control acne, without the unpleasant side effects of benzoyl peroxide-based creams.

 A 2003 study carried out by Dr. Jennifer Gan-Wong of Memorial Medical Center in the Philippines showed that green tea cream was as good as benzoyl peroxide cream in treating acne conditions with fewer side effects.

 The researchers noted the green tea cream seemed to lighten patients’ skin color and improve the overall appearance of their complexion.

OMO! It was in perfect timing too since I got pimples on my forehead~ Lack of sleep and stress… requirements…. T.T

Based on the only english description on the packaging:

Promotes elasticized, healthy and moisturized skin, while essential face mask shuts out air from the outside temporarily.

Description on http://tonymoly.ph/:

This essential mask sheet pack has been made with our new approach to create change in the ordinary mask packs sold today. This unique mask pack temporarily blocks air out from skin while efficiently transferring the necessary nutrients and moisture deep.

HOW TO USE:

1. Apply mask on clean face
2. Leave on for 20 to 30 min
3. Remove Mask

My skin was really moisturized! :D

Since there is much much product left I apply and tap the solution onto my face :D Makes skin really moisturized! And the product inside the pack could be stored in a tiny bottle!

Tap tap tap!~ Essence is on the watery side!~

Familiar cute doll face from Etude?~ Todays’ review is about Etude House’s Green tea Nose Pack! :)

I’ve been wanting to try this ever since but somehow whenever I enter Etude it’s always out of stock. So glad to get a chance to have this now! :) I only got one since I’m not sure if it will work out~

According to package description:

Formulated with green tea additives to remove oil and pore deep sebum.

Active Ingredient: Green Tea Extracts 0.1%)

It’s green~ which is a nice change from typical black and white strips :>

It’s relatively big too! Which means more area to be covered :)

WARNING: Show of blackheads and whiteheads on the next photos.

It’s filled with sebum :))

Onto the before and after photos:

Keep an eye on the tiny black circles :)

Opened pores after using this! So I soak a cotton ball filled with Eskinol and leave it on my nose for a few minutes to close the pores.

PROS:

• no strong scent
• packaging!!! It’s so adorable!
• though not all my blackheads got removed it is highly effective!

CONS:

• Slight tingly sensation around my nose will I have this on, which I don’t normally experience when I use nose strips @.@

Price is a tiny bit more expensive compared to other nose strips, 38 pesos a piece.
