Missha Creamy Latte Grean Tea Cleansing Foam Review

Happy Easter!

And sooo, I finally had the time to work on this review. This is the second cleansing foam product I have tried from Missha. Compared to Super Aqua, the Missha Creamy Latte Green Tea Cleansing Foam is cheaper and overall, this product does a good job. I was hesitant to buy this at first because of the price. I was like "Will this work properly? Why its so cheap compared to others?" but I am happy with this after my purchase and probably will be my regular cleansing foam in the future after I have used up all my remaining cleansing foam products stocked at my closet. :)

Missha Creamy Latte Green Tea Cleansing Foam

The package when it arrive is not boxed but is sealed. So I am not sure if this was boxed originally. The white tube is in matte feel with a royal frames and texts. It's not the usual Arial texts. :) But everything at the back is in Korean Text

It says:
Containing milk ingredients, it makes your skin clean, moisturized and nourished.

Longer description from Missha US:
Cleansing foam with green tea latte ingredients help vitalize tired, dull skin. Green tea latte provides nutrition to the skin and helps control sebum secretion. The latte-like soft, smooth lather helps keep the skin moisturized even after cleansing.

The first thing I noticed when I open it was the green tea scent. It was really refreshing. The product is in light green color of course coz it's green tea. I use a small amount only and it is enough to cover my whole face, probably half the amount I had on my sample pic below. I use this twice a day - morning and evening.

As a cleansing foam, I think it does its job pretty well for its price. After washing my face with this, my skin feels fresh and nourished. I think the scent of green tea and green color adds up to the feeling.  So far while using Missha Creamy Latte Green Tea Cleansing Foam for almost 7 months, I didn't had problems with breakouts so that's good news for me.

I have tried the chocolate flavor for this one and I hate the chocolate scent, I had to rinse my face really well to remove the chocolate scent.

What I like

- Cheaper price

- Refreshing green tea scent

- Moisturizing

- Does its job properly

What I don't like

- I'm still thinking!

- Ahh! the tube 

During it's last moments when squeezing is already impossible to let the foam out, try cutting it to half and scrape the remaining products out of the tube, there are still a lot left in it that lasted almost a month. I don't like wasting useful products.

I used to buy my Korean products from an online seller but I don't think he is still selling at the moment. Regular price of USD 5, this is less than P200 when I bought it on sale so I am not sure how much is the regular price on Missha kiosk in malls.

Missha Super Aqua Relief Eye Cream Review

Happy Holidays Guys!

It's been a year since I have started on my Korean skin care routine and it is not complete without an eye cream. Your eye areas also needs a special care and a good eye cream to complete your skin care routine is a must!

Missha Super Aqua Relief Eye Cream is my first eye cream so I kind of don't know what to expect from this product when I bought this.

Product description from the box:

"Relieving eye cream to moisturize puffy and sensitive areas around the eyes.

The Super Aqua basic series is formulated with Active Water System to help improve and maintain skin's healthy moisture balance, making skin moist and radiant.

Containing 100% of Ice Plane Water, rich in minerals and Active Water (Blue Lagoon Water, Mineral Water, Damask Rose Water) instead of purified water it provides moisture to dry skin around the eyes relieving sensitiveness."

What made me decide to buy this, aside from its price, is that it claims to moisturize puffy eyes. I don't have dark circles even if I don't sleep for 2 days, but I always have a puffy eyes even if I sleep 8 hours regularly.

 

Like any Super Aqua Basic Line, the product packaging comes in a blue theme. The tube is matte and don't have too much information on it. The English description can only be found on the box and what you can see on the tube are only in Hangul except the front part.

 

The tube is not transparent so you won't be able to see the how much product you have. I also like how it dispense a very this amount of the cream. 

The cream is in white color and has a thicker consistency than the Super Aqua Emulsion. It carries the signature scent of the Super Aqua line but the scent on this one is not as strong compared to the emulsion. I actually don't like the scent on this line, I find it too strong for my liking.

The cream for me is too sticky. Application is easy though blending and absorption takes a bit of time. I have to wait for a while before I can go on with my next cream. I continually use this for about 3 months but I honestly don't see any changes or effects on my eye skin area.

Another thing is that, I noticed every time I use this cream at night, the next morning when I wake up, the corner of my eyes feels very uncomfortable. I feel like the product has dried out while I was sleeping. And when I gently wipe my eyes like I normally do before going out of bed, I can actually feel some dried cream clumps in my finger. I actually have to mildly wipe my eyes because the clumps are too rough that sometimes it can cause redness if you wipe too strong. I didn't have that issue before I started and after I stopped using the cream. I can really say that the cream is cause.

What I like

- Cheaper Price

What I don't like

- Uncomfortable morning

- No visible effects

I love Missha products but the Missha Super Aqua Relief Eye Cream was a disappointment. Right now, I use the remaining cream as a moisturizer for hands and feet.

Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Pomegranate Review

It's been a while since my last post. I was feeling really lazy this past few months. Right now, I am hoping I'll be able to finish this post.

If you have read my previous post, I have a good stash of Missha Sheet Mask that will last me until the year ends. But this time, I'll just review the Missha Pure Source Pomegranate Sheet Mask.

Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Pomegranate

 Unlike the Tea Tree variant, Pomegranate variant improves damages skin.

"Soft 100% pure cotton sheet mask soaked with essence derived from natural ingredients. Contains Pomegranate extract for vitalizing and firming benefits. Great for dull complexion and aging skin."

Quoted from Missha US site.

The back portion of the package says:

"Pure cotton sheet mask to deliver pure nature.

Pure cotton sheet mask enriched with Pomegranate ingredient, makes your dull skin firm and healthy while improving damaged skin."

Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Pomegranate

The first thing I noticed when I first used the Pomegranate variant was the sweet smell. I really like the fruity sweet smell it has. It's not too strong and doesn't hurt my nose. I put it on the fridge for 5-10 minutes before application just to give me cooling effect. Then put it 20 minutes or longer and continue with my ampoule and other creams before hitting the bed. After removing the mask, I can see my skin looks brighter than usual, which gives me a nice feeling when looking at my face on the mirror.

What I like

- Fruity sweet smell

- Brightening effect

- No sticky feeling

- Firming effect

- Improve damaged skin

What I don't like

- I can't think of any! :)

Previously during the first few weeks of using Missha sheet masks, I can feel a slight burning sensation after 10-15 minutes of application. Thankfully, at this time I don't feel any discomfort anymore. Seems like my skin got used to it. 

And yeah that's my face, still healing from all its painful and stressful memories! haha! But at least it's getting better than it was before. :) And excuse the heart stickers, I just find the eye part annoying!

You can also read my review for Tea Tree variant back when my skin was really stressful! :)

Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask is kind of overpriced here in the Philippines which is sometimes sold 99-150 each but you can find cheaper ones on eBay. Just be mindful to ask for expiration date.

April Haul: Missha Sheet Masks and More

Oh, I missed this! It's been quite a while since the last time I wrote something on my blog. I have tons of drafts sitting on the back-end, waiting for me start but all I can think of is just the titles. I can't remember when the last Monday I wrote something for my blog was. BF was around for the past weeks so that's explain it.

I was actually dumb not to include a sunblock on this Korean Skin haul. Now I run out of sunblock and quite rely on free samples I receive as a gift. I am not sure when it will arrive and summer is almost over. Such a bummer!

I first received this batch earlier this month. I'm surprised there is no Missha in here. Haha.

What I got here are:

> Mizon Snail Recovery Gel
> Etude House AC Clinic Intense Pink Powder Spot Patch
> Etude House My Beauty Tool Eyeliner Brush
> Etude House My Beauty Tool Soft Cream Puff
> ElishaCoy 24K Gold Luxury Sheet Mask (freebie)

I use Mizon Snail Recovery Gel as my daytime moisturizer coz it's so light. I still have enough left on rack but since it was on sale, so I bought another tube for reserve. (Sale! Go Away! You're killing my pocket.)

Until now, I still do not understand why I bought it. It's so hard to resist when sale is there. Hahahah.

Another Missha Sheet Mask Overload

And just this morning, another batch was delivered so early. SHEET MASK OVERLOAD! It was on sale so I had to grab them. I got a dozen on each flavor and still have 2 dozen left from my previous order. Panic buying for the zombie apocalypse! :D

For the love of Missha, I got here some
> Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Lemon
> Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Green Tea
> Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Tea Tree (My Secret Weapon! :D)
> Missha Super Aqua Relief Eye Cream
> Missha Super Aqua Cleansing Milk

I feel like I must be awarded by Missha. Seems like I am buying too much from them lately! But, yeah, I am happy I got them earlier than expected.

My Korean skin care routine is now complete with my eye cream. I hope my buying habits will lay low on the next months, I getting broke every payday. Hahahhaha. What I can do? I feel very happy buying and using seeing them saying hello every time I start my regimen.

Where did you spent your summer girls? Am actually stuck here in my room until summer ends. I am such a loser this summer. :D Hope yours was a blast! Stay pretty.

Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm SPF 18 (Kissing Pink)

Summer is here! Keeping those lips moisturize and protected from the harmful sun is possible with Missha the Style Glow Tint Lip Balm SPF 18. Kissable pink lips, this tint is what you need. I got it for Php 400-450. This is actually the first lip color I have that has an added SPF to it and it's quite good and I am happy with it.
 

 I got that description from Missha Au website.

The box comes in a light pinkish with silver and white fonts on it. Aside from the product title, everything else is in Korean. The product cylinder has the same design except the silver designs which you can't find on the cylinder. I find the design sophisticated and elegant. Missha designs are more likely for mature women. (Just my thoughts.)

The cylinder is not too long nor big and does fit well on my purse.

I tried it on my hands just to see how the swatch will look and it is so light though. As you can see on the above image, the product is so pink from the cylinder but when applied, it gives you a very light soft pink which matches well if you want an innocent look. It looks glossy, (that why it's glow tint!) Application is easy, it slides easily. It also has a sweet smell and doesn't taste bad when you lick your lips. It's too sticky for me and doesn't stay that long though but I still like using it on.

Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm

I really like that color. It's too fresh looking, and looks so moisturized. On the above image, you will see the comparison on my upper and lower lip with and without the Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm. I used Etude House Don't Worry Happy Change Lip Balm before applying Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm.

Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm

And that's how it will look after applying on my lips. That's just too irresistible. I also tried using it after the Nature Republic Water Tint #02 Pink.

Nature Republic Water Tint #02 Pink + Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm

I am not sure, but it looked so pink to me or may hot pink. But it last longer if I use both together. I also tried using the product after a primer/lip concealer, and girl, it gives a lighter and more innocent pinkish lips. It just looks so fresh. Sorry I have no sample picture. Once I'll have a time trying it again, I might update this post.

What I like

- Has SPF 18

- moisturizing

- lovely pink color

What I Don't like

- too sticky

- doesn't last long

I do not know how much it cost when you buy from Missha Ph stores. But you can always find a reliable sellers online for pre-orders. I also have Rose Red for this product but I have no plans of using it right now.

This is surely a must have for me this summer!

Update: 4/17/15

Since it is summer and its getting really hot and humid from where I am, I notice that the balm is melting a bit. When I turn up the cylinder, the balm is spilling when I turn down it again. I guess this should be placed in my fridge until summer is over.

March Haul: Nature Republic and Missha Loves

I'm actually trying to lay low from too much retail therapy. Hihihih. But I can't say no to skin care products lately.

Nature Republic and Missha

What I got here:

> Nature Republic The First Essence
> Missha The Style Triple Perfection Shadow #3
> Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm (Kissing Pink/Rose Red)
> and some free samples

I was actually disappointed when I check the Missha The Style Triple Perfection Shadow because I wasn't expecting I will receive a refill. I thought the one that I will would be with a case but turns out to be a refill. That why it was probably super discounted at that time or just me that was not reading the product description. Whatever!

Also, got some Missha The Style Glow Tint Lip Balm with SPF which will be perfect for this summer season. I actually tried the Kissing Pink first and I love it. I'll probably make a review on it this week.

Also, hoarding 2 bottles of Nature Republic The First Essence. Got to grab some while it is still uber cheap. This will be enough for 1 year supply.

I can already smell summer breeze around here, don't forget your sunblock!

Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Tea Tree Review

This week, I'll be reviewing the Missha Pure Source Tea Tree Sheet Mask.

Your Korean skin care experience is not complete without the masks. You always see this on K-drama. This is also a staple for Korean skin care and cotton sheet masks are one of the most common and affordable available in the market. There a lot other types of masks but are a bit pricey, I actually want to try the gold masks too. I think they're quite elegant.

Aside from Tea Tree, I also have a Pearl masks in my treasure chest but I just want to talk more about the Tea Tree.  So lately I had a bad break out on my lower cheeks and jaw part, as in really bad. I am not sure what caused it but it was just bad and had been ongoing since late January. At first, I used Etude House AC Intense Clinic Red Spot Balm but even after a week it didn't help me out. I didn't use a mask for 2 weeks straight as I was afraid I might aggravate it. I thought it that way because of the slight burning sensation I feel when I use a masks. But it didn't help either, my lower cheeks is really red and bumpy and in the morning other bumps have pus in it which makes me so worried. Then I decided I'll just start using the Tea Tree again and to my awe, it actually relieved the redness and helped control my break outs. Right now, I still have bumps and scars on that part but it not as red as it was.

So what is Missha Pure Source Tea Tree Sheet Mask for?

"Relieving irritation
-Pure cotton sheet mask to deliver pure nature
-Pure cotton sheet mask enriched with Tea Tree ingredient, makes your skin fresh and clear while relieving irritations and stress on the skin"

Relieving irritation. Mainly this mask is for your acne. And yeah it did relieved the irritation and help control those red stubborn bumps. Of course it will not treat irritation overnight but as for me, I did actually saw a significant decrease in redness on the affected areas when I woke up in the morning. I have used Etude House AC Intense Clinic Red Spot Balm for a while on the same spot before I used the Tea Tree, but I did not notice same effects as much as the Pure Source Tea Tree did. I think my skin love Missha products. :)

Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask Tea Tree

 In the package, directions states

1. After washing your face, prepare the skin with toner
2. Spread the sheet mask evenly over the face, adjusting eye and nose areas. Lower the eye parts for double covering effect
3. Leave it for 15-20 minutes and remove the mask
4. Gently pat until fully absorbed.

Tip: Apply left over essence on the neck areas. Recommended to use 2-3 times a week.

The masks fits will on my face and it is not that hard to put it on. I use Missha Pure Source Tea Tree Sheet Mask after my Nature Republic The First Essence and leave it on my face for about 20-30 minutes then removed it. I can feel a very slight burning sensation while the mask is on especially on eye part and on bumps that are open, which at first worries me but thankfully, my skin didn't have any negative reactions to that. It will start somewhere after 5 minutes but it will not go on for the rest of the time you have the mask on, around 15 - 20 minutes that very slight burning sensation will start to slow out. I put it on the fridge for 5 minutes just to have a cooling effect when I put it on.

Once removed, I let the essence absorbed for 5 minutes more and then apply the remaining essence from the pack and let it absorbed for another 5 minutes and continue with my ampoule and cream. The essence is clear with a consistency slightly thicker than water and it absorb pretty well on my face. Normally, I will use all the remaining essence on the same day, but this time I saved them so I can use it the next day because it did really well on relieving the irritation going on on my skin. After 3 sheet masks, break out were 75% healed.

see those bumps with white pus popping out?

They started drying out and leaving scars which I am still thinking how to deal with! XD

The first picture was taken before I used the the mask, somewhere first week of February. The next picture was taken after a few days using the mask.  The effects are not dramatic but it was a good thing that bumps started to dry out and leaving. Camera makes it look worst but it is actually not that worst in personal. In the morning, there is less redness and the scars be concealed. XD

Just to make it clear, it will not relieved the redness after 30 minutes of using the masks but you will notice its effects the morning you wake up after your skin have relaxed and recover from a good night sleep. So now I am back with my twice-a-week-mask routine and just also added the Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule.

What I like

-effective in relieving irritation

-help eliminates/stop acne 

-moisturizing

-reduces redness

-essence is not too thick and is absorb well

What I don't like

-the slight burning sensation I fell when I put the mask on

The mask is P99.00 on regular price but got it on a discounted price during the December sale. You can pre-order it on Heaven's Bee Hive if you are from Philippines. I also found it on Lazada but of different variety and it's almost 300 for 2 masks.

Missha Super Aqua Skin Fresh Refreshing Cleansing Foam Review

This is one of my Christmas shopping items I bought from Missha at SM Cebu the price was too much and I feel like Missha PH is overpriced here is in the Philippines.

I ordered mine from a re-seller at less than P500 only. Because I can’t wait for my order that is scheduled to be delivered this coming January, I still bought it. :) (I’m pretty impulsive when it comes to favorites)

I have been using this for more than 2 months now. I started with their trial pack first that I got from ordering a BB Cream on Missha Ph Facebook page. I realize that it was so nice on my skin, I then bought the travel size from Lazada which lasted me for a month too. I am still in love with it until now.

Before starting this product, I was using a PB soap from my dermatologist which I feel it doesn’t thoroughly cleans my face. Since the trial pack was just sitting on my closet for like 9 months. (Yeah, it was just there for that long) I decided to incorporate it with my cleansing care. And man... I feel in love at first use!

Missha US describe “Super Aqua gives your skin radiance with a help from three revitalized water from nature. 

Containing Sweet Flag Extract and Willow Bark Extract which gives a massage effect with its minute and rich bubbles, Super Aqua cleansing foam gently and completely removes makeup and impurities.”

I don’t use make-up every day so on my normal routine I cleanse my face with PB soap and then Super Aqua Cleansing foam. I didn’t had major breakouts while starting on this method so I guess it is fine but of course when I use make up even just a light one, I always use a make-up remover then continue on my cleansing method.

The tube is blue but the product inside is in white color. I use only a small amount and gently massage it on my face for 2-3 minutes and rinse with tap water. In a while, it will create a rich bubbles which is really relaxing while you gently massage it on your face. The instructions is that you rinse it with a lukewarm water but I prefer tepid water as it is more accessible. We don’t have a heater available for our faucets. :D

What I love using this product is that it doesn’t leave a harsh or dry feeling after washing. It doesn’t strip off the moisture out of your skin and you can feel it soft and a bit squeaky. (> is this the right term?) It’s really refreshing when I use it. The scent is not too strong compared to Super Aqua toner and emulsion has. It’s doesn’t hurt my nose if I accidentally breath in some of it compared to other products. But it really hurts my eyes if it gets there. Also, you don’t need too much product to create a lather and cleanse your face. So I think the 200 ml tube will go a loooooong way.

Buying again? Yes, of course. I still have 1 tube on my closet. How about you?

Update: 07-24-15

The product really last long so its worth every penny. 1 tube lasted for about 7-9 months. But I was not able to consume all in my first tube coz I left it Cebu during my recent travel. Overall, I love Missha's Super Aqua Skin Fresh Refreshing Cleansing Foam.

Missha Super Aqua Skin Fresh Hydrating Toner and Emulsion Review

As I was panicking the last time where I can get the Missha Near Skin Firming Peptide, I ended up buying the Missha Super Aqua Skin Fresh Travel set at Lazada and got for Php 664.05.

Just so you don't know, I live in a province where you can see are sari-sari store only. That is why I panic if I run out of anything that I need because I can't easily purchase them right there and then compared to if you are living in the city. My only access are the online shops which I have to deal with shipping, hefty price and sometimes if it's pre-order, you got to wait a month to get it.

As far as I know, toner and emulsion are the basic skin care for lazy girls and those who are just starting up with Korean Skin Care like me. So I am reviewing them together.

The travel kits are in thick plastic bottles. I dropped the emulsion once and it didn't break so I am pretty sure it is plastic. I am not sure about the regular size bottles if they come in plastic too.

From the packaging:

"The Super Aqua basic series is formulated with Active Water System to help improve and maintain skin's healthy moisture balance, making skin moist and radiant."

Let's first go with Super Aqua Skin Fresh Hydrating Toner (30 ml).

"Fresh hydrating toner for clean and radiant skin adding moisture."

As the name it suggested, Aqua, the toner is very close to water in terms of consistency. At first I thought the smell was very close to a detergent but after using it for 3 weeks now, I got used to it and it became close to odorless. I apply it after double cleansing using my palms. I always prefer not to use cotton on Korean toners to save every last drop of it. Korean toners works differently from American toners which is usually applied with a cotton. The product is so light and absorbs faster into your skin but I always space my applications like 1-3 minutes every product to allow better absorption.

Next, the Super Aqua Skin Fresh Hydrating Emulsion (30 ml).

"Moist hydrating emulsion for lustrous and smooth skin balancing skin's oil and moisture level."

Emulsion or face lotion as what others usually define it. The lotion is very white and the smell is a bit stronger than the toner. I am really annoyed with the smell at first coz it's too strong for me but gladly I got used to it. I apply it after the ampoule or the essence. I used to put a lot on my face but I notice that it does not absorb on skin my quickly. (My skin is oily type.) Later I apply it on smaller amount for better absorption.

During the first few days using the Super Aqua Skin Fresh, I notice a small zits on my face. Gladly it disappeared after a week. Probably it was a reaction after shifting from Near Skin Firming Peptide set. Throughout the 3 weeks of using the product I notice less break out, and if it does it just so few. The Super Aqua Skin Fresh set is also mild on my face, I don't feel any tingling sensation during my application. This is really a good set if you are looking for moisturizing and hydrating effects. Waking up in the morning is also a beauty, it's not so greasy and skin feels so soft too. It didn't help with my blemishes though.

Buying again? Maybe, this will be a good choice if I ran out with my favorites again or maybe for traveling if you don't want to bring those bigger bottles with you.

How about you? What you think about Super Aqua Skin Fresh line?

Missha Near Skin Firming Peptide Toner and Emulsion Review

I have regretted it so much why I didn't try this as soon as I had these samplers. This set of beauty bottle was hibernating in my closet for like a year already since I received them. I bought the M Perfect BB Cream so I had this two coming along on my package.

Missha Near Skin Firming Peptide line was the one of highest end product for Missha because it is really effective. This is according to the CS on Missha Philippines who replied to me when I inquired for its price.

A short description about the item from Missha US site.

"Near Skin Firming Peptide Extra Vital Toner helps make dry and fatigued skin smooth and bright while allowing the following skin care products absorb into the skin. It provides moisture to the skin and helps make even skin texture. Skin-friendly ingredients, like Lipid Water and 12 peptides, control moisture balance in the skin to help boost the benefits of following skin care.

Near Skin Concentrating Emulsion helps firm and tighten skin by maintaining moisture and nutrition balance while increasing turnover of dead skin cells, a cause of sagging skin. The soft and silky textured formula moisturizes and nourishes the skin to help make an even and smooth skin texture. Contains skin-friendly ingredients, like Lipid Water, Lipid Barrier, and 12 peptides, for firming and tightening benefits.

Near Skin Firming Peptide 4-Step Wrinkle Care & Firming System
Step 1) contains Fermented Bio-Calcium to strengthen skin barrier and tighten the skin
Step 2) contains 12 peptides to restore skin elasticity for firm skin
Step 3) improves fine lines and wrinkles for a smooth skin surface
Step 4) protects and strengthens skin barrier for healthy skin condition"

With the benefits stated above, I can really say that this combo is really effective on my acne prone skin. The effects are noticeable even after 3 days of using it during my night regimen. The effects are even better compared to what was prescribed by my dermatologist which I have stopped because I was not satisfied even after 1 year of following it. I did not use any other creams during my usage for this combo and I am loving the effect on my face. It really beats my previous regimen from my dermatologist. :)

After cleansing my face, I use Near Skin Firming Peptide Extra Vital Toner. The toner is lightly colored and smells good. I used to apply it using a cotton but later change and apply it by lightly patting using my palm for better absorption. After a while I apply Near Skin Concentrating Emulsion by gently massaging in circular motion on my face and neck. There was a slight tingling sensation during my first few nights of using it. I was worried it will cause any bad side effects but it was not so I think the slight tingling sensation was normal.

Just by using this two products, the effects are really great. On the third day of using it, I notice my skin was lighter and moist. Dewy not oily. And if I look at it closely it seems that the skin looks more relaxed than it was before. Pores were minimized but are still there. No major break outs during my usage and the zits that was already there before I started using it healed faster.

Now it’s more than a week of using the sampler, I am panicking where I can get these items so I can continue enjoying the benefits. Should I repurchase? Of course, definitely I am. I have ordered from a friend of mine but the stocks will arrive by December and my samplers are almost near to empty.

Shelling out PhP 2600 (Missha Philippines Facebook) for each bottle is such a horror compared to PhP 900 (from a reseller) each bottle. That was a huge price difference from the same product.

And no, I am not posting my face to show you the before and after like how they normally do it. :)

Update: 2/20/15

Missha Near Skin Firming Peptide Toner and Emulsion

So I now have the full size bottle and they are so light pink. The packaging is elegant and very feminine. (They're so chic by the way!) Product consistency and effects on me are the same with the samples I tried few months ago. I was very glad to finally have them. The only downside with their packaging is that you can't tell how much toner or emulsion you still have because it is not transparent. I hope they can make it more transparent or maybe have a part of the bottle transparent so just we can see the level of the product inside.

The toner dispense a controllable amount of liquid and a pump for emulsion is adequate enough for my whole face. Both bottles are still heavy so I assume they are still enough after 2 months of using them. I wonder how long they will last on me. My face doesn't feel stingy anymore when I apply them unlike the first time I tried them. I use the toner morning and night and the emulsion on night time only.

Since starting a Korean Skin Care Routine, I can really say there has been an improvement on my skin specially on the moisturizing department. Though I still battle a few bouts of break outs on my jaw line part from time to time, but they are controllable. I have to accept that my acne is genetic and all I have to make sure is that it doesn't get worst then I will be fine. The oiliness is now very minimal and yay, I don't have to worry for the cheek to cheek greetings. Haha!

Update 7/25/15

The full sized bottle for toner lasted me about 6 months and 15 days. So far, the effects was good on me. I am more happy with my skin right now than before. I still have 1 more bottle in my closet but I think I'll try the Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner Sensitive Toner.
