Welcome to our website !
Hey guys!  Today I will be sharing my thoughts on the second Scrub Massage pack from Etude House in the option of Soy Bean.  You can view my first review from this line here, the Coconut Oil gel formula.

 The main goal with the Soy Bean is to make sure that the skin has been firmed.   With this being said, it feels like more of a moisturizing cream as it is so creamy and smooth.
This particular Spoon Scrub is a cream-like texture.  It smells quite sweet and goes on like a moisturizer.  At first I didn't think there was enough product in one packet for my entire face but Etude House came through in the end. So after applying it in circular motion with one finger, evenly throughout, I just waited 20-30minutes and then hopped in the shower to rinse it off.  I opted to rub in the rest of the cream before rinsing just to absorb more of the product.
As I was rinsing, I noticed that it had left a protective layer over my skin.  It didn't feel bad or anything, just different.  Even though the cream was so moisturizing it actually did firm my face quite a bit.

Pros
  • Convenient packaging
  • Cheap
  • Nice subtle yet sweet smell
  • Absorbed into skin well
  • Easy to wash off
  • Firming

Cons 
  • Should have the option as a container

I can't find anything substantially wrong with this product.  For 3 packs of these which would be 6 applications it is around 3$ which isn't overly expensive nor is it cheap, which is why I put that it should have the choice to purchase in a container or a 'sample size' like these.  Otherwise, this is a great product if you're looking to mix up your facial care.
Hi guys! I'm going to start posting more reviews and thought posts on Kbeauty again so I can get the products from the Roseroseshop hauls back in spring reviewed up. Today I'm going to be reviewing Etude House's Scrub Massage Oil Gel in the Sunshine Spoon collection.  That was a mouthful.

Each packet has 2 usages in them. I decided to review the oil gel from the collection first because it's coconut as well as a gel which I didn't know what to expect.  Before I had even opened it, I thought this would be really oily kind of like a liquid and not adhere to my face at all.

Turns out, this is more of a gel-like substance that goes on nicely with a subtle hint of coconut.  There are also capsules in the gel which are supposed to provide vitamins for your skin.

I suppose this gel pack could be used as a mask or used just as a facial cleanser.  I decided to use this as a mask and keep it on for about half an hour.  I do find this to be fairly oily, try not to touch your face too much or you will get oil everywhere!

Pros
  • Subtle coconut smell
  • Skin sensitive
  • Gel-like texture
  • Can be used as a scrub or mask
  • Great for winter
Cons
  • Oily

Overall I really enjoyed this mask.  My personal results were fairly decent.  I noticed more color in my skin, it looked brighter.  The oil didn't give me any breakouts either!
Because it is so oily, if you have naturally oily skin I would use this just as a cleanser so it's not on your face for a long period of time. Over all, I wouldn't recommend this to people who already have oily skin,.  I love how the coconut is very subtle and it is also skin sensitive.  The best time to wear this mask would more than likely be in the colder weather when your skin is extremely dry and peeling (gross!).  What this mask really did for me was revive my skin and put a lot of moisture in.  After it was rinsed off, my face wasn't oily at all.
I'm excited to test and review the rest of the Sunshine Spoon collection!
Before we get onto the review, let's just appreciate how cute this is lol, and it's a spoon ok!  Seriously fangirling over Korean packaging right now!

Again, not too sure what it's saying on the back part of the packaging.  Luckily there are images that are pretty easy to read on how to use this overnight cream!
On the back of the spoon there's an indent right at the end of the handle which gets cracked and the  wrapping comes off to reveal the product.  There's a colored cream and a liquid cream that gets stirred together to create a creamy yellow color.
You can mix this together using just about anything, but it shows mixing with the end of the spoon!  how crafty of you Etude House.

There are a ton of different scents and varieties on what it will do for your skin in this line.  This specific one is in Evening Primrose.  It contains evening primrose, lavender, chamomile as well as mint which will then in turn have moisturizing and smoothing effects for your skin and complexion.

I left it on overnight and could only get comfortable sleeping on my back because it was still sticky by the time I was ready to sleep 2-3 hours later.  The next Moonlight in Spoon I'll only wear it for a few hours and then wash before sleep.  I only thought that you keep it on overnight because it says overnight cream on the name itself.   The smell was pretty florally and was actually really good so that alone could persuade me to repurchase.  As for the end results, I didn't notice a whole lot of difference except that my face was fairly moisturized.  I did notice a very slight breakout on my cheek which brings it back to not leaving it on for so long.  The breakout is so subtle that it will be gone in a few days, however this should be bringing my skin forward, not backwards.

Pros
  • Price
  • Smell
  • Packaging 
  • Multiple usages
 Cons
  • Nowhere to store excess product for multiple usages

 
I couldn't think of very many cons that were cons but just pointers on how to make it last longer and have the best possible effect.  Would it be weird to say that I want to keep the packaging and hang it up on my wall!! eek, so super adorable hehe.
This will be the final review of Etude House Silk Scarf hair mask series with level 3, Argan Seed mask.
Just for recapping purposes I have listed the previous links of the hair masks.  Each one is a different level, as they get higher they get more effective.

No.3 Argan seed

The Argan seed mask is a level 3 mask so it is going to be pretty effective and have quite a significant turnout.
I found that this hair mask has very similar qualities to the Avocado hair mask with the smell and how it applies.  Even though there's the same amount of product as the others, this applied very good and felt super moisturizing to my hair-just like a conditioner-almost immediately.  As far as the smell, it does indeed smell of Argan, which I love!
I kept the mask in overnight and part of the day so by the time rinsing came around it had pretty well entirely absorbed into my hair.  Just because all of the product has absorbed into your hair doesn't mean it didn't disappear. while I was rinsing all of the product came out just like conditioner.  Afterwards my hair was extremely shiny, silky and smooth.  As far as the scent goes I couldn't really smell it afterwards.

Pros
  • Great smell
  • Applied well 
  • Silky
  • Shiny
Cons
  • Could have used a tiny bit more product
  • No after smell
I don't have a whole lot of negative to say about this mask because it's all around a great hair mask for anybody who wants to get life back into their hair!

 

Now that I've finally gotten the chance to try all four levels of the silk scarf collection I would definitely recommend level 3 and 4 for the great quality and level 1 for the nice floral smell.  The only one that I was disappointed in was level 2 that I would pass on, all the others are a thumbs up in my books.

 
For quite a while I had been looking at the Etude House line and how cute their packaging is and how I just wanted them all but couldn't bring myself to buy just because of the cute factor.  Finally, I caved in and ordered a few hand creams from a few different Etude House lines.  Today we will be concentrating on this cute little pink penguin.

The Pink Dolphin Story
"Our endangered animal friends are rapidly becoming extinct from the planet... I really want to see you.. I miss you!
Hi~ I am Pink Dolphin I live in the Amazon River, love to swim and chat with friends."

Just to see how cute the packaging is, it won the packaging award in 2011!  That in itself is pretty incredible I must admit.  It has been printed with real soy ink so making it really cautious about the environment. ;D

The cute level on this little penguin is out of this world.  Come to think of it, I haven't given this little guy a name yet!
So it is a screw container and the bottom part is the actual cream.  It doesn't contain that much product but considering how little you're paying and add the cuteness into it you are indeed getting your moneys worth.
One of the reasons why I bought this was because I was curious as to what 'Fiona' smelled like. I got a really nice surprise when it turned out to be a really lovely subtle floral scent that lingers after you've put your hand cream on.  This will soak in really fast and moisturize your skin really well.

Pros 
  • Cute factor
  • Cheap
  • Effective
  • Moisturizing
  •  Absorbs well
  • Animal awareness
  • Smell
 Cons 
  •  Not a lot of product

Well guys there you see it, not a whole lot of negative to say about this little guy.  What I'm really super happy about is the awareness of endangered species and the environment.  It's appreciative when companies think about other things than the big dollar sign.  
This will be the third review for the Etude House Silk Scarf hair mask collection, you can read the other two here and here.
I found the same issue with my Camellia seed where there wasn't enough product for my entire head.  What was different from that was that it didn't seem to soak in or go farther as the Camellia seed which seems pretty odd as we're now onto level 2.  Hoping for the best, I left it in overnight and most of the following day.
As I was going to rinse out, it felt like I was rinsing out shampoo, not a hair mask let alone conditioner.  I used a little bit of conditioner to smooth and calm my hair down.  This alone kind of drew me away from the mask. 
I didn't smell very much from the mask and if it did have any at all it was very subtle!   Don't use this if you want really nice smelling hair.
By the time it was all said and done, my hair was a little bit shiny.  If this is all this mask is going to provide me, I would have passed.  Like I said on the Camellia review, this might serve a better purpose to people with a little bit shorter hair so that it will go all throughout and not just patches.
Etude House silk scarf has different levels of damage control in this particular line, so if you have severe damage you should use number 4: Avocado hair mask.
Since Raelene ordered most of these hair packs and liked them all (to an extent) and I ordered the avocado one and LOVED it, I decided to go ahead and order them all!

I'm going to do my first review on Level 1: Camellia Seed and work my way up the levels.  Raelene and I already had done a collab review of Level 4: Avocado which you can read if you wish to. *click*

These hair masks have two components, the larger one being the mask and the smaller one being a serum.  The hair mask itself has the texture of conditioner whereas the hair serum is more of a liquid.
I remember the Avocado one having a lot of hair mask.  For comparison purposes I'll say that this mask didn't have nearly as much as the Avocado one, or, my hair grew quite a bit since I used it which is very well possible.  With saying that, the mask blended through my hair pretty evenly so that's good.
With a subtle floral scent that lingered while my mask was in, it soon left after I washed it out.   I left my mask in all afternoon and throughout the day.  Because this is a level 1, I wasn't expecting a lot from this mask but I ended up surprised with really shiny and soft hair!
This is a mask for people who don't have a whole lot of damage to their hair or don't want a heavy treatment.  

Pros
  • Great floral smell
  • Easy application
  • Soaks completely into hair after time
  • Great for short hair
  • Great for non damaged hair and ends
  • Shiny hair
  • Soft hair
Cons 
  • Not enough mask for long hair
  • Smell doesn't stay in after rinsed out
I would recommend this mask to anyone who wants to have shiny, soft and luscious hair!  So, everybody.
Alright, I love roseroseshop and recommend them to anybody looking to start in the world of kbeauty.  However, if you're looking for a speedy delivery this is probably not the company you want to go with as they use DHL for their shipping company and I had quite the issues with them.  I wasn't planning on doing express post but since I noticed that there was only a 2$ difference between regular and express I figured why not go for express.  Once it shipped out it only took one day to get into Canada.  That's insane coming from Korea.  I got over 20$ on customs fee for this, which I found to be pretty odd because I've never gotten customs fees on anything from roseroseshop but then I thought that maybe it was just because I picked express.  I contacted them thinking that I would get the same response that I had thought it was going to be.  Turns out I shouldn't have gotten a customs fee because roseroseshop ships as a gift package and at a lower cost.  
I wasn't too concerned about the extra shipping costs but I had expected to get the shipping that I had paid for at that.  So it was supposed to arrive on Friday, which it didn't because apparently you need to be available all day to receive any package and I was out all day.  Now I'm on the phone trying to figure things out and it turns out that they only attempt delivery one time a day and that's it and on top they don't post on weekends, whereas Canada Post will ship on Saturday.
At this point I'm pretty upset because now I have to wait all weekend for anything to happen.  Monday comes around and my tracking says 'left for pickup as requested by recipient'.  For starters the pickup spot is an hours drive away from me and with no vehicle it would seem pretty hard to pick something up without a vehicle and work all day on top.  So no, I hadn't requested it to be picked up.  I didn't receive it on Monday either.  I put a complaint in at this point, and then lone behold my package came in the following day.  
Long story short; I do not recommend the shipping company DHL.


Let's get onto the unboxing

I decided to go with 2 different brands in this haul so I can get a better idea of what each brand has to offer.  This time I went with Too Cool For School and Etude House, most of the products are from them with very few exceptions.  I'll start with the exceptions.

I seem to be obsessed with this kind of packaging for samples and felt the need to get some more! 

 
So basically, the birds nest part kind of intrigues me and it's also an aqua sleeping pack which makes me think of water.  Pretty legit.

Eventually I plan on doing a roseroseshop egg haul.  There's a lot of egg products that I would like to try and yeah it looks pretty cool.
 Those are my only 3 items that aren't either Too Cool For School or Etude House.

 These packs are pretty big, bigger than what I had expected.  I got 2 firming packs, 2 moisturizing packs and one brightening pack.

 I'm not entirely sure what this does but honestly it looks really cool so I figured I would try this out just because.

Because I love Welcos' Killing me Zombie CC cream, I feel like this will be no more short of quality either.

You'll have to wait to see what color I got! ;P

 Rules of Pore Morocco Ghassoul Tablit Pack and Rules of Pore Morocco Ghassoul Cream Pack
Mainly excited about these two puppies right here.


 That's everything for Too Cool For School, now onto Etude House.

 I got two samples from Etude House. Collagen Moistfull cream and Toc!s All in One Gel samples. After my cart had been pretty well full to the brim I stumbled upon the Toc!s gel and had actually wanted to get the full size but decided to go with the samples for now to see whether I like it or not.

Let's go onto the hand creams now because I went a little accessive with the cuteness overload.

Missing U hand cream in Panda/Peach and the Pink Dolphin in Fiona.  I'm not sure what Fiona is and that's why I got it because I wasn't sure!  I love surprises.
My Castle Hand cream in Ice Frozen and Sweet Cookie. Figured I was already going hand cream crazy may as well add some more cute in it.

 Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Collagen Hand Cream
Oh Happy Day Hand Bouquet hand cream in the kind Rich Water.
I'm obsessed with things rich in water or aqua, they always just feel so refreshing and hydrating to me.

I don't have purple spots or so it says but I do have slight red patchy spots due to having Rosacea. And just look at that cute broccoli right there.
 
Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Mask (pink)
Hand Bouquet Collagen Hand Mask (yellow)

Etude House Blending Sleeping Cream In four different scents. (too lazy to figure them out)
In my roseroseshop haul last fall I had ordered 3 of these I believe and was satisfied with the results I decided to go ahead and order more!  I didn't do reviews on the ones from the fall unfortunately so hopefully I will get around to doing them this time.



Sunshine in Spoon Scrub Massage Cream in Pomegranate and Soy Bean.
I'm pretty excited to try all of these out!




Silk Scarf Damage.  Since Raelene had ordered these masks back in the fall and loved the Argan mask so much she made me convinced to buy some too.  We made a collab post review on it here. I love love the Argan mask in particular(which is why there's six of them) that I had to buy each of them.  I will do reviews and compare them to the rest as well.

This was in my samples pack-I must have gotten a bigger sample and a small sample pack along with it which I forgot to take pictures of the regular 5 mini samples we usually get.

ANYWAY, that was part 2 of my roseroseshop haul and hopefully the last one of the year!  Maybe not hehe but we will see!
I know I haven't gotten into reviews from part 2 but all I've been doing is work, there's no time for anything but work that I actually haven't really used any of the products yet. sad times :( I promise I'll get working on reviews and posts when I get free time!
