Tony Moly Hello Bunny Perfume Bar #2 Review



Tony Moly Hello Bunny Perfume Bar
#2 Momo Fruity
Price: 9,90$ on KollektionK
Amount: 9g


The main reason I bought this was obviously the packaging. Look at how cute that bunny is!
I bought it in a Tony Moly store in Hongdae, after testing each of the Perfume Bars. I originally wanted to buy #5, which is said to smell like Green tea, but unfortunately they only had testers available for #1 - #4 T^T 
The other 3 scents (#1,#3,#4) were all too sweet and flowery for me. I prefer a lighter, more refreshing scent as I don't really use perfume that much and I don't want people to smell my perfume from 10feet away.


So~ I went with #2, Momo Fruity. I liked the scent immediately, as it reminded me of peaches and other fruit. It's a light scent, still sweet, but not too much. To quote my roommate: "Smells yummy, stop making me hungry!" 
An Amazon seller wrote the Top Note is Citrus, consisting of Lemon, Bergamot and Orange.
The middle note is Floral, consisting of Freesia, Muguet and White Rese.
The Base Note is Musk Woody, consisting of Musk and Sandalwood.

This sounds all fancy, doesn't it? I have no idea what those top, middle and base notes are though.
So let's just stick with "it smells like sweet,fresh fruit" :D


When you open the cap, you'll see that the perfume itself is protected by a smaller cap.
Yay for that ^^



Take off that small cap and twist the bottom of the perfume bar just like a lipstick.




I would describe the perfume bar as something that's similiar to the texture of a lip balm, just a bit more dense and not as soft.
You can apply it just by shortly swiping it over wherever you want to apply  your perfume.
It does not feel sticky after applied, and the scent is quite light so you don't have to be afraid of using too much at once. If you want a stronger scent, just apply it another time on the same spot.
The scent lasts for 3-5 hours, I'd say.






There's nothing about this that I don't like.
The scent, the texture, the great price and the cute, yet also convenient packaging. I would not take liquid perfume with me when going out, but this perfume bar? Just throw it into your bag, you can take it anywhere to reapply it if yor're going out for a longer period of time ^^ 



What do you think about Tony Moly's perfume bar?
Do you have any of the scents they offer?
If not, have you heard of or used solid perfume before? ^-^
Please tell me your opinion in the comments :D


Love and Greetings,
Lydia

Korea Haul

Actually, I came back from Korea several months ago, but~
I'm going there again in about 3 months, and this time I need to take better care of my expenses.
Last time I spent all my money, but I barely remember how much I spent on clothes, how much on food etc.
So I thought I'd just collect all the things I bought there for an overview for myself. If I know how much I spent on clothes, cosmetics, etc, I can easily figure out how much of my money was spent on food, and how much I need to take with me this time.

And since I already had everything ready, why not take pictures and upload them? ^^
So there you go~

That's most of the stuff I bought there, but I'm sure I forgot at leat 2-3 things

Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar Review


Yay for another review of the things I bought in Korea (somehow I didn't get myself to write a review of the things I bought on Koreadepart yet. Sorry~ )



Price: 4,68$ on Koreadepart
Amount: 2g

Its promises:

" -Formulated with vitamin E, berry complex
                                                               -Provides moisture and nutrition for skin
                                                                     -Soft and creamy texture
                                                                        -Sweet fruits scent"

It also has a nice and short instruction on how to use it:

"Apply it to your lips"

I would have never guessed that :o



See that fine line under the writing? Twist it and the bar goes upwards~ 
This will make you get the product without any problem ^^

I actually don't even know which colour I have o.o
When I bought it, I just got it like that without a packaging or anything, and the bunny face looks different than those shown on Koreadepart. Judging from the colour of the packaging it looks like No.3, Juicy Apple...but it tastes more like Juicy Cherry so I think I have that one? ^^'

Swatched on the back of my hand it looks like this:

Without Flash
With Flash

It looks really~ pink but the colour doesn't come off as strong on my lips.

Bare lips: 

Dry lips, yay xD
                   Also that weird spot on my lower lip is not a pimple or anything, it's just a spot that's randomly darker than the rest of my lips ^^''

With Tony Moly's Petite Bunny gloss bar:



It looks really~ glossy here, but that effect fades after a few minutes and the lips will look really natural.
It's really not super pigmented, but that's what I like about it. ^^


Why yes, how it tastes IS something important to me xD
After all, I'm putting this on my lips, aren't I?
Anways~ like I said before it does taste like Cherry (kind of), and very fruity~  and I love it :D
Yummy Yummy Yummy~





"Soft and creamy texture" definitely fits it. 
It just glides over your lips, you don't have to apply any pressure on it to get a nice result.
And with saying that, I mean never apply any unnecessary pressure on it.
I did it once, and I broke of a corner of it with that T.T Clumsy me strikes again~

Anyways, it feels very nice on your lips and hydrates them well. No need to use lip balm or anything before applying it, the texture is very similiar to a lip balm anyways. I think you could compare it with a tinted lip balm, with a slightly~ glossy/shiny finish ^^


5/5 Stars :D

Koreadepart Skincare & Cosmetics Haul

About two weeks ago, a friend and I decided to order some things from Koreadepart because we discovered so much more awesome products (judging from reviews on other blogs) that we didn't buy in Korea. The package finally arrived on Tuesday and wow~ Koreadepart really is fast.
For those of you who don't know Koreadepart, here's a short description of the online shop:
Koreadepart sells all kinds of Korean skincare, cosmetics, even some food and clothes. They have a big~ selection of various brands such as Etude House, The Face Shop and others. When ordering, you have to send two payments:  -One directly after ordering (=price of the items)
                               -Another one after they bought all items and weighed the package (=shipping price)
All in all, the process took less than two weeks for us. Including shipping. Our package was sent with EMS, so we were also able to track our package. There weren't any cheaper options for shipping to Europe, but since we ordered together the shipping came out quite cheap for us (only 15€ for each).

Now to the interesting part:

This is what I spent my money on:



All in all I ordered 10 items (one was Tony Moly's Egg Pore Tightening Egg for my sister, which is not included in the picture) and it cost me about 50€ if I remember it right.



Tony Moly:

Cat Chu Lip Tint (Red)
Egg Pore Blackhead Out Oil
Panda's Dream Good-bye Dark Eye Corrector


Etude House:

Milk Tea Cleansing Cream
Wonderpore Freshner
Oh My God It's That Time Again Heat Patch



Skinfood:

Good Afternoon Peach&Cinammon Tea BB Cream



Nature Republic :

Green Tea Sheet Mask (5 pcs)
Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

And those are the samples I got:


I will do a review of all of those when I have more time ^^ And the weather is better...right now the lightning sucks 90% of the day, that's why the pictures look kind of crappy. Sorry about that T^T


If there's anything you would like me to review first, just tell me in the comments below ^^

Tony Moly Tea Tree Cleansing Cream Review

I bought this cleansing cream when I was in Korea for the simple reason that it was cheap. It was sold for 2900 won which is about 2,90$ .
I only started using this after I came back to Germany, so here's a small review.

"The brilliant cleansing care system brings
 strong vital power of fresh 3 seeds with dewy water"
                           


The tube contains 150ml of cleansing cream, but if you use it every morning and evening it will be used up quickly. I've been using it continuesly for about 2 weeks and it's already a little difficult to squeeze the cream out.

[Edit: I have been using it for 2 1/2 months now and there's still cream in it, so actually it does last for a long time~ ^^]

After using it a few times only



After 2 weeks
"[Directions] Apply an appropriate amount to the entire face, and gently massage to wash away impurities from the skin. Wipe off with a tissue or rinse off with lukewarm water."





I use about 3-4 times of this amount whenever i use the cleansing cream to clean my whole face. The cream looks almost white, or like a really bright lime green. It has a very fresh smell, not sweet at all. I'm not sure whether it smells like tea tree seeds or not, but it definitely does remind me of trees and nature ^^

After massaging the cream into the face for a short moment, there will be almost no rest of the cream visibly. Even after washing the cream off, my skin will still feel normal which is a great plus for me. My skin's very sensitive, so even when I'm using products described as "mild" or "great for sensitive skin" my skin still gets irritated.

After washing the cleansing cream off, my face usually feels very refreshed and clean, but I still prefer cleansing foams as my face feels even cleaner after using those. It's still a great product though, especially for that price.

I don't wear make-up that often, but for those of you who do I did a small test on how well this cleansing cream removes make-up:


Tested: Make-up base, eyeliner, eyeshadow



The cleansing cream turns into a greyish colour
                           

After washing the cleansing cream off
As you can see, it does remove most of the make-up but the eyeliner is still visible. I think if you're not wearing heavy make-up, only using this cleansing cream will work. I would still recommend using a real make-up remover before using the cleansing cream.

Tony Moly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream Review

When I was in Korea in August/September I bought some Korean skincare/cosmetic items there as well. One brand I bought a lot~ of items from was Tony Moly. Even though we only went there once ^^''
Anyways, some of their items have a really cute packaging, and so does this hand cream. I bought it because  I really love peaches, but I didn't know it was an Anti-Aging hand cream...I guess I'm already using Anti-Aging products as an 18-years-old then. Apparently it's also has an whitening effect.

This is what the packaging looks like, it's just a big peach basically:

 

It contains 30g of hand cream and you can get it in Korea for 4500won, which is 4,5$. You could also order it from Yesstyle for about 14$ or from Koreadepart for 4,68$

When you open it, you can see that the product is safely sealed with a plastic lid which keeps it from spilling. It survived the flight from Korea to Germany without any problem ^^





The lid is very easy to remove and after you did so you can directly get the hand cream. The only thing that bothers me is that you have to take out the product with your finger (or a plastic spoon or something else, but I'm always to lazy to search for those xD), so it's not really that hygienic.
Anways, back to the hand cream itself.





The texture is a little thick but very smooth. The cream itself has a creamy colour and a strong smell of peaches.  So if you don't love the smell of peaches, i don't think you would like this hand creme.The smell is very sweet but doesn't smell super natural unfortunately. The cream absorbs quickly into the skin and your hands will feel soft after that and not sticky at all.

That's the amount of creme I use normally.
















 Unfortunately after the cream absorbed into your hands, the sweet smell will fade quickly as well. T^T Also it doesn't moisturize too well, my hands feel a little dry again after 1-2 hours.

I can't really say much about the effectiveness of the hand cream as you can't see a difference directly after using it for the first time and since the packaging is not really something you would take with you in your bag when you go out, I don't remember to use this too often. I try to apply it at least once in the evening though, but I'm fogetting it quite a lot. If you're using this product every day I guess it will last 1-2 months.
