Skinfood Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2x
This is the second black sugar scrub I had from Skinfood. The first one I tried was the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash off. I believe this one is the upgraded version of the black sugar wash off.
The black sugar line is the famous line from Skinfood and has been part of every korean skin care of most beauty bloggers.
This tub was purchased from Korea when my friend / manager went there last time. It comes in a 210g dark brown tub which is bigger compared to the mask wash off of the same variant I had last time in a white small tub.
This skincare introduces the following features and functions:
Bio-tone up
Skin Renewup
Multi Fruit Complex
This is a scrub type that removes dead skin, improves skin texture and skin tone, moisturize and helps brighten skin.
I use it twice a week as this works as an exfoliator and just enough to shy away the blackheads and whiteheads on my sensitive skin. I have been using this for months now and I think it is quite effective. My skin feels soft and clean after washing off the mask.
Apply it gently on a slightly wet face and scrub it in a round motion very softly avoiding the eye areas. I usually put a lot on the nose area where my blackheads mostly are. leave it for 15-20 minutes and rinse it off.
Major ingredients:
Sucrose (76660.5 mg), macademia seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, shea butter, evening primrose oil, olive oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, jojoba seed oil, brown sugar extract (210 mg), fermented rice, filtered water, lemon extract, apple extract, orange extract, papaya fruit extract, Lepidium meyenii root extract, Sarcodon, Aspratus extract
MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule
This ampoule energizes, repairs, and restores elasticity. It also provides wrinkle repairing and whitening benefits. It has multi-vitamin complex ~ vitamins and vitamin derivatives, including vitamin C that creates a synergy effect with lactic acid ferment ingredients to help recover the condition of the skin.
The key ingredients would be:
Bifida Ferment ~ strengthens skin barrier to prevent damages and improve the skin for a more vitalized condition.
Lacobacillus Ferment ~ protects the skin for a clean, healthy condition.
Lactococcus Ferment ~ strengthens and soothes sensitive skin for a healthier condition.

Bifida Ferment ~ strengthens skin barrier to prevent damages and improve the skin for a more vitalized condition.
Lacobacillus Ferment ~ protects the skin for a clean, healthy condition.
Lactococcus Ferment ~ strengthens and soothes sensitive skin for a healthier condition.
I was curious when they say it's the complete science behind beautiful skin. Include it as part of your day and night routine. However, I chose to use the ampoule in my nighttime routine to get smooth and firm, beautiful skin.
It provides skin with extra nutrients and moisture. The ampoule energizes, repairs and restores elasticity. It also provides wrinkle repairing and whitening benefits. It's recommended to people who are in their late 20s - early 40s. If you want to experience prompt improving of the skin condition and have more elasticity this is the product for you.
The product comes in a hard glass bottle and a dropper to control the ampoule from the product.

MISSHA Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence
Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence is a so-called 'miracle water' and has been an amazing part of every korean skin care haul.
I only applied the first treatment essence here in my photos and no filter at all. I am using my Samsung Galaxy J7 I recently bought (November 2016). So my photos are updated.. adding them now dated Dec. 28, 2016 after using half of the MISSHA bottle. Don't mind my eye bags please. ^_^
Gomawo~~~~~ see you again... on my next blog!
I was just as curious as everyone who takes korean skin care seriously (^_^) so, along with my sister and friends, we ordered our own bottle.
THE FIRST TREATMENT ESSENCE improves fine lines and skin tone. The miracle water hydrates, restores, rejuvenates, and gives you a glowing complexion.
This essence claims to be a skin repairing essence containing 80% fermented yeast concentrate to nourish skin and enhance cell turnover. Also contains Niacinamide, a Vitamin B3 component, to improve skin elasticity, enhance skin barrier function, and revive skin tone and texture. DN-Aid, made from Cassia-Alata Extract, provides vitality to aging skin, protects DNA from aging caused by UV rays, and PROMOTES restoration of damaged DNA.
Functions:
Repair and nourish skin on a cellular level
Brighten and revive skin tone
Improve skin elasticity
Enhance skin's barrier function
I became curious as well how yeast was as important to be the top ingredient of this essence. YEAST is a naturally fortified Vitamin B Group. Vitamin B supports and increases the rate of metabolism and maintains healthy skin. Recently, more researches prove fermented yeast extract to be a good source for skin care products.
Product: 150ml bottle
Price: Althea order / 1350 php
INGREDIENTS:
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Bigida Ferment Lysate, Propanediol, Niacinamide, Polyquaternium-51, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Betaine, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Pirper Methysticum Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Beta vulgaris (Beet) Root extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Cassia Alata Leaf Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pentylene Glycol, Water, Trehalose, Disodium EDTA, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Adenosine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Raffinose, Tromethamine, Acetic Acid, Lactic Acid, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Caprytyl Glycol, Hexapeptide-9 Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate
HOW TO USE:
For the first step in your daily skincare routine
After washing your face, get appropriate amount onto cotton puff or hands.
Pat lightly onto skin until completely absorbed.
Follow with lotion, serum, eye cream, and cream.

Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream
I have been addicted to face creams lately. Recently, I just bought quite a few to make sure I have some on stock and try out those I am curious of.
I see there will be a battle of the creams. Ha ha! I just finished using this cream from Etude House and I loved it.
I mentioned from my previous blogs that I am using the Etude House Moistfull Collagen line and had overall great results. So I added the collagen cream for the final step in my night skin care routine.

Kdramas 2015-2016
Now, I'm listing my top kdramas of 2015-2016. I remember doing this before but there's a lot of them really. What I do is I keep track of what's running so I keep myself up to date he he he. Effort, guys. Lots of effort. ^_~
Currently, I am watching three korean dramas at the same time but they're all running in episodes 4 and 5 in different channels. So I am still updated ha ha!
But here are my suggestions. I swear I am hard to please when watching kdramas so I stop whenever I don't feel like it. But that depends whatever genre or drama selection you have.
I am a fan of romcom series, suspense, thriller and action kdramas. I am also a fan whenever I heard that the cast are whom I will ship and have been shipping.
I want to add Six Flying Dragons here in this list but i'm not yet done with its 50 episodes yet so I'll review another list including it. ^_^
1 ~ SIGNAL
16 episodes
This. Just like Remember, no other kdrama yet, has found its way to my heart. Yes, even DOTS the ever famous one, has not surpassed this series. Signal is very well written, the casting is great, and the story line is unpredictable. It takes you through time, but in the future as well and in the present. It may be a bit confusing but you just don't have to miss a single episode so you'll see Detectives Hae Young and Jae Han communicate through time whenever there's a signal.

| Cho Jin Woong as Lee Jae Han |

| Lee Je Hoon as Park Hae Young |

| Kim Hye Soo as Cha Soo Hyun |
And should I say I like (love) Cho Jin Woong so much (Detective Lee Jae Han) ~^_^~
Cast: Lee Je Hoon, Kim Hye Soo, Cho Jin Woong, Jang hyun Sung, Jung Hae Kyun
2 ~ Remember War of the Son
20 episodes
OH. MY. I don't even know how to start. I love this kdrama until the end. A suspense, mystery, revenge story. A story all about Hyperthymesia and life of a father and son. It depicts the purpose of how we live life to its fullest, even to its shortest of times, and to relive and cherish every single memory and how to value them.
And oh ~ Nam Goong Min is very handsome and charming as a villain, but whatever. ha ha ha!
Cast: Yoo Seung Ho, Park Min Young, Park Sung Woong, Nam Goong Min, Jeon Kwang Leol
3 ~ Reply 1988
20 episodes
Talking about nostalgia. Ok, I wasn't born in 1988 and I'm so young then. But watching Reply 1988, made me realize how it feels to be in that time.
The setting and the cast will make you feel how living was like in 1988. The production was really all out and most especially, the soundtrack. I love love love all the music and OST from this series. I've been a Reply series fan, from Reply 1997 and 1994. I thought Reply 1994 was already the best (compared to 1997 which I don't personally love except loving Seo In Guk), but Reply 1988 was far more better.
Family. Love. Friendships. over Time. I just cant get enough of this kseries.
And the cast. I can't say anything more. I'd even cry listening to the OST again. My heart for Park Jung Hwan and my feels for Park Bo Gum. Just watch it and see.
Cast: Hyeri, Ryoo Joon Yeol, Ko Gyung Pyo, Park Bo Gum, Lee Dong Hwi, Sung Dong il, Lee Il Hwa, Ryoo Hye Young, Choi Sung Won, Kim Sung Kyun, Ra Mi Ran, Ahn Jae Hohn, Kim Sun Young, Choi Moo Sung
Recommended OST:
Dont Worry Dear - Lee Juck
A Little Girl - Oh Hyuk (Hyukoh)
Hyehwadong (or Ssangmundong) - Park Boram
I Can Only Give You Love - December
As Time Goes By - Kihyun
Youth - Kim Feel
4 ~ Blood
20 episodes
I love love love this drama. A vampire doctor and a horrific hospital scene every episode. Blood everywhere and a love story too. I love the main cast ~ Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun. Even the supporting cast did great and the story has an interesting storyline you'll get excited about.
I can't tell if I liked how the story ended, but who has not heard Hye Sun and Jae Hyun's love story after filming ended. I'm a big fan of this couple AhnGoo hahaha! Look, our main cast eventually got married in real life.
5 ~ Mask
20 episodes
The story is a revenge thrilling one and I love how the ending fit on its own. I cannot say whether it is a happy or sad ending but the story is nicely written.
SOON: Series I'm not yet done yet but I'll make another list including them.
Six Flying Dragons
Master of Revenge
Moorim School
