Etude House Happy Tea Time in Green Tea and Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Serum Review

No work today! Hurray!

It's good thing I can do my blogging again. The more I need to blog, the more I believe having my own laptop is very beneficial. Just sayin'! :)

Anyway...

I have been using Etude House Happy Tea Time in Green Tea for around two weeks now. And true to some reviews, it leaves your face squeaky clean but not leaving it dry! My pimples also dry fast, though not overnight. I'm happy with the result and did not regret buying it as part of my cleansing routine.

On the other hand...

Recently, I bought Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Serum in trial sachets. I cannot afford to buy the big bottle and I want to try if it is really for me. Good thing, I got some trial sachets from my "suki" ebay seller.

This serum has mixed reviews on its effectiveness. Some bad, some good, and some are neutral. For me, I would say, it is almost good. Not neutral, not yet good. I'm not convinced yet. My findings with this product are one, it has very nice oil control on my face. I used this before using a BB cream and the difference is very BIG! Two, it did not leave any dry patches unlike some creams that I used before. Three, my pores have becomes less visible, and I believe smaller. I'm not really sure if it did broke me out 'cause I was at the PMS days when I tried this, but again, oil control is great for me. And I guess, four, this serum also is also very hydrating for me. I don't double with my moisturizer any more. I have to discontinue my moisturizer since it doesn't have oil control. Maybe another review on that. Another finding also, not really necessary, is that I can see little sparkles after application. I don't know what it is but no worries, it does not cause any detriments to the effectiveness.

I have been using this serum almost everyday and I really cannot say about the cons yet. Like I said, I was on my PMS days when I tried it and usually I have a big one or two on the forehead. I'll see for one more week, especially when my moon days are over before I can conclude that this does not break me out. Nonetheless, I want to continue using this one!

LF: New Cellphone

I have a Samsung D88 Duos which I got online last February of this year. Actually this is my first purchase from ebay! I got it as a secondary phone next to my old N73. This is already a second-hand phone but I really didn't mind buying it at that time. I just wanted a phone that can accommodate my Sun and Smart sims. It was priced good and the condition was still good when I got it. It's pretty durable and I can surf the net with it, with its satisfactory WAP/Edge system. It isn't so bad for a second-hand phone.

My Samsung D88 Duos

Just this recently, in fact today, it's already showing signs of defect. I have been using it almost everyday with Facebook Zero and I guess, it had enough with the sliding up and down. If I turn it on with its compact size, it would turn on. But when I slide it up to type, it will turn off! And vice-versa. The flex inside has taken the toll of it. T_T

Because of that, I went window-shopping again online for a cheap secondary phone. And look what I have found in ebay!

RONDO MULTIMEDIA TRIPLE SIM MOBILE PHONE

Judging from the comments on the website, I want to give it a try and experience the wonders of a triple-sim phone. XD I already have plans, though, on getting (or wishing for) a droid like what I mentioned in my previous blog. But if I'll not get a new phone in six month's time, this phone will be one of the phones that I will consider.

Just before finishing this blog, I checked my phone again whether or not it is already broken. Actually, not yet. Hurray for that! But, the display will not appear immediately if you slide it up and down for a couple of times. You have to wait for awhile for the display to appear. Still sad to know, at least it still works. Then again, the flex is definitely broken.

Wish List 2011

Christmas is only a few days away. I still can't help to make my Christmas wishlist this year, though I'm already getting older. T_T Nonetheless, the idea makes me younger just thinking about it.

Rewinding back a few months ago, I realized I've gotten most of my material wishes online. I got my copy of an unabridged, 7n1 compilation of The Chronicles of Narnia from an ebay seller. I got my Lolita from Avalon.ph. I got my coveted kabuki brush from an online seller in FB. And I got them all for all reasonable prices and online!

I thought that I wouldn't make a wishlist for this year since I got most of the items that I wanted. But I am mistaken. I still have a few things that I want to have and maybe get them online!

I want to have these:

1. The Twilight Saga

2. Samsung Galaxy Y

3. Laptop

The first on the list is the Twilight Saga novels. I got my Twilight copy, the first book, from bookmooch but I gave it away because it frustrates me to see only one book of the Twilight Saga and not being able to read the next books. Only to my regret though. U_U I really don't care if I get all in paperback but a hardbound series is better. I'm really hoping that someone would give it to me this Christmas.

The second one is a Samsung Galaxy Y. I've been saving for this one but to my dismay, I may not have this phone. T_T This phone got good reviews and a really reasonable price. I've also seen some online sellers in Facebook about their lay-away plans for gadgets. But still... T_T

I didn't provide any photo for the last one. I don't really mind about the specs as long as it is a laptop with an i3-i5 processor and an ASUS. :P

My mind is rushing to get the second one on the list. But again, I can't. It's actually competing with the third one on the list. And the third one is more important than the second one. For the first one, I will wait until a miracle will happen in Christmas. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

How about you, what's your Christmas wish list for this year?

Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foam in Green Tea: A Gloomy Day's Purchase

Oiea!

I woke today in a rather bad mood. I woke up very early to do all the things that I need to do but I still ended up going out from the house late. I had to rush since today is not my day-off. I only have an hour to shop for things that I need.

To compensate for the gloomy day, I bought myself a tube of Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foam in Green Tea. Actually, this was not part of the plan. I was planning to buy myself a Daiso Charcoal Cleansing Foam. But when I arrived at Saizen, there were NO STOCKS of Daiso products anymore! I was like GAH! There were still Sumi Charcoal Cleansing Foams on hand but I was skeptical on trying one because I haven't read reviews about it yet. Only to my endless disappointments! So I just walked out and went through the grocery. After buying things, Etude House shown itself in front of me and saying "Hi! We have our Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foam in Green Tea instead. Please take a sip and be rejuvenated! (^_^)" (The line, however, is just made up. I just imagined Etude House store would say such to a down girl.) Oh well, yes, I succumbed. Much to my impulsiveness again.

I guess this will not be a bad buy. I have already read soooo many reviews about Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foams and most of them are really POSITIVE! I have been using another facial foam before but it has always left me with a dry, dull, skin. I have never purchased that facial foam again. It has been a year that I haven't been using a decent facial cleanser. I'm using a baby wash as my facial cleanser but it doesn't cleanse my face enough. Especially recently, I have been wearing a BB cream and other make-ups. So, that's why I've been searching reviews for a good facial cleanser and suitable for my skin type. And I really hope, Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foam in Green Tea will be the cleanser that I have been looking for!

I'm hoping though that Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foam in Green Tea for thrift users like me. (#^O^#) The price is alright for a 150 ml. I think it can last me more than 6 months or so. And again, I'm hoping to have a good experience with this cleanser!

Getting excited to try a new find is a good way to end a gloomy day. All's well that ends well! (^o^)
