Tony moly (토니모리) I'm Real Mask Sheets

Tony Moly is a South Korean cosmetics brand, established in the year of 2006.
The meaning of the word Tony Moly translates as putting style into packaging, which is completely evident if you've ever been inside a Tony Moly store. There has been several Korean Pop bands/members that were previously endorsers of Tony Moly. Since September, the current endorser is Hyuna and if you've seen her skin. . Just wow, it's more than enough to convince any individual. I'm reviewing the five following Tony Moly I'm Real mask sheets; Pomegranate, Tomato, Tea Tree, Red Wine, and Makegeolli. I've selected these five, although there are different types available. However, these five are best suited for my own personal skin care concerns.

Featuring the Tonymoly I'm Real Mask Sheets!

Packaging is ridiculously appealing, 

Unfortunately, not all the Real Nature Mask Sheets, more focused on the one's best for my skin concerns, as well general skin concerns. 
Love, love, love.
I just can't get enough of this mask sheet, personally a pleasant aroma, as well overall a nice mask sheet to revitalize my skin. 

Quite nice mask, eh? I mean, where else have you heard of Red Wine mask sheet? I expected quite a lot from this mask, however, I didn't feel there was too much of a notable difference with the size of my pores. Certainly not the Holy Grail of products to minimize your pores, a minuscule difference in your pores, although very moisturizing.
Brightening and radiant skin is just a step away with this mask. I personally enjoy this mask, but I would recommend it for those only dealing with post acne to normal skin. If your face is sensitive and very acne prone, I would stay away from this one. The skin is much brighter after use, not to be confused with a whitening effect.
Anything with Tea Tree is love, perfect for acne prone skin and to calm the skin. Make sure to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water, if you need any other skin care advice/tips, please feel free to ask!
I've purchased multiple of the Tea Tree masks, and even with my sensitive skin, I have noticed that this mask has not irritated my skin in the slightest, and it has in fact moisturized my face very well! I do believe that it soothes my skin, wish this was available in a hydrogel mask! 

Who doesn't love Pomegranate? Truly quite delicious, not only is this fruit a powerful source of high antioxidants. . The effects are just as fantastic with this mask, let's restore the skin's elasticity together! Let's keep the skin firm, and help it appear vibrant and youthful.  My personal experience with this mask: I prefer this mask over the Tomato! I enjoy the light scent, as well the increase in elasticity, definitely aiming for much more youthful skin. 

Have you tried any of these Tonymoly 'I'm Real' mask sheets? Have you tried the other that weren't mentioned on my blog entry?

Tonymoly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream

Today's product review will feature an item from Tonymoly!

Tonymoly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream
☆ Tonymoly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream! ☆
Along with an irresistible peach aroma, this hand cream is also advertised with anti-wrinkle properties!
Ah, damn good if you ask me: smell pleasant, moisturize and fight off wrinkles? Wah, just like that it's magic.
I've applied some cream around my hand to show you the consistency, it's not too light (which is even better) and not too thick. The balance is perfect, spreads easily without hassle or residue and is a must have for anyone with rough hands. 
The following are the ingredients listed in the hand cream:
Prunus Persica (Peach) Extract: Provides antioxidants. 
Adenosine: Supports elasticity. 
Shea Butter: Moisturizes. 
Prunus Ameniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract: Nourishes. 
Water, Glycerin, Vegetable Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclohexasiloxane, Octyldodecanol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tribehenin PEG-20 Esters, Dipropylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Propylene Glycol, Propylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Butylene Glycol, Adenosine, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Red No.4 (CI 14700). 
ah, let's not forget the packaging itself is a peach!
very 可爱 don't you think?
It's like picking a peach from a tree, even in the Tonymoly store (update: the store name has changed to KPOPBEAUTY in the San Francisco- Japantown, CA location.)


Ah, now I can't stop thinking about the aroma from this product. .
I finished using the entire hand cream in a few months, sadly.

Can't get over this product, the packing is a wonderful idea, the aroma is light and pleasant, as well the moisturizing isn't too bad.
I would recommend this product to anyone who is dealing with rough hands, especially if you're constantly using your hands.

Questions/concerns? Feel free to ask, I'll reply as soon as possible.

2nd blog: Have you read my previous product review?   

until next time,

大塚 コラーゲン C ゼリー (Otsuka Collagen C Jelly) review

Hello, 

The product review is for the following item: 

大塚 コラーゲン C ゼリー (Otsuka Collagen C Jelly)

While in Japantown, I've noticed in several stores that there are Collagen supplements! Although, among the few (rare) products that I've seemed for consumption, the Collagen C Jelly was constantly appearing.


This product review is for the Otsuka Collagen C Jelly (7 day) supplement. The product is meant for daily consumption during a 7 day period, as well this product is also available as a 31 day period. The product is labeled as a mixed berry flavor, it doesn't taste bad at all. It's a bit tart if that's not too much for you, I personally believe there's a unique taste to it, in fact . . it's not bad at all.
大塚 コラーゲン C ゼリー (Otsuka Collagen C Jelly)
Low molecular collagen peptide (2,500 mg per single pack)Each packet contains: Collagen, Placenta and Hyaluronic Acid.
17,500 mg total, after consuming all seven packets presented. 
Each is packaged individually, and is the perfect size for on the go individuals, such as myself.  This product is a wonderful nutrition supply anytime day of the day, once a day.
 After a 7 day period of consecutively consuming each packet, I've noticed that my face has felt much more moisturized, supple and firm, above all the level of elasticity restored is comforting. I personally enjoyed this product so much, especially with this being my 2nd Collagen supplement that I've purchased. Once the box is completely empty and you've consumed all the packets, you'll immediately notice the following: Hydrated skin, much more firm skin, rejuvenated skin, as well an overall more youthful appearance.
Here's a result of the 7 day period coming to a conclusion!
The results were truly outstanding, I wouldn't have expected it for a product that wasn't outrageously priced, and I can tell you with 100%  honesty that this on the go product will be repurchased during my next trip to J-Town.

Do yourself a favor, no. . In fact, do your skin that has worked so hard to look well for you, purchase this product and grant it a bit of relief. 

update 5/29/16: I have since purchased the product for another 7 day trial period and I'm in love! Though the taste is a bit odd, it's more than pleasant enough to consume! The item is still available at Candy Doll in Japantown, as well available for a 30 day pack. During my next trip, I will certainly purchase the 30-day pack and keep track of my skin throughout that period.
