Etude Silk Scarf Review

Etude is a Korean brand of beauty product.
Lately they opened the store for occidental customer too.
You can find the online store here
http://www.etudehouse.com/

I ordered mine on ebay cause the online shop wasn't opened yet.
There are many silk scarf product, the one i used is the hair treatment

Lets say that this is not a cure for your hair, so is not something that is going to invigorate or rebuild your hair.
When you wash your hair without using it, they willbe your usual  hair.
But when you use the silk scarf, you can actually feel the difference.
AND WHAT DIFFERENCE!
They are soft, easy to comb and look very beautiful.
I use it just for special event and i must say I really love it.

So would I recommend it?
Absolutely yes

All my face's beauty products - tips for oily skin

Yesterday I decided to tidy up the mirror container in the toilet where i have all my beauty products.
And reorganized it separating every product for the function it has.
So i noticed how many things i have for my face!
Lets see how (and if) I use them
There we go:

Soap

- Sulfur soap
It is recommended for oily skins, with its astringent and refreshing properties, acts on acne and points blacks, narrowing the pores.
Do not wash your face more then twice per day with this soap.
And once a week i use the rough side of the sponge, together with the soap, as exfoliating.

Can find it in any herbalist's shop, quite cheap price.

Mask

- 1 Face mask mud of Mar Morto (Bottega Verde)
 recommended for combination and oily skins, with Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Bromine and Sodium.
Cleanses thoroughly, it is also ideal for a revitalizing dull skin.
I find it very refreshing so i use it also to narrowing pores.
I used it once a week, but now I just use the day before and event where i need to use lot of make-up to clean my skin and make it look good.
This is also a product you can get from herbalist's shop and is cheap.

- 2 Glycolic Acid Peel Off Face Mask (Bottega Verde)
This one can be used for every type of skins, Eliminates impurities and dead cells from the skin surface using the action exfoliating glycolic acid.
I do apply it after a warm shower or after using warm water on my face or hot steam, to enlarge pores.
So the mask can penetrate better the pores and clean them deeply, after that i was my face with cold water to narrow pores again.
As the one before I used once a week, but now juat when i need to clean my skin before applying make-up for a big event.
This is also a product you can get from herbalist's shop and is cheap.

- 3 Wander pore White Clay Clear (Etude)
I just report what they say on the official website: Pore adhension + Pore cleansing +Soften texture + even tone + hydrating - Pore care mask for clean and clear skin with white clay , rice bran and grain powder.
I found it hepful for oily skins, it clean and revitalize my skin, giving it a better color and a better look, it is very refreshing and narrows pores, but i need to apply a moisturizing cream, cause it can leave my skin a bit too dry.
I use it a couple of time a month and as the mask before I do apply it after enlarging my pores with warm water or steam for a deeper cleaning.
Price is medium also cause it can't be found in Italy so it is needed to be shipped.

Tonic

- 1 facial tonic with extracts of cucumber (Bottega verde)

For combination skins to use after washing the face.

rebalancing the skin and eliminates the unsightly shiny effect. The cucumber extracts tightens pores and normalize skin.

It also contains Zinc, sebum-balancing, Burdock extract, astringent and purifying.

- 2 Clarifying toning lotion (REN)

Price is medium

- 3 Clarifying Lotion (Clinique)

It was part of a set of 3 products combinations, soap, lotion and cream.

The soap and the cream were just a sample Format.

The lotion free the skin surface from any form of desquamation and skin reveals a fresher and more vital.

softens fine lines, to help the skin look younger, longer.

It should not contain alcohol but i found my skin red-ish after using it, so I stopped.

Price is expensive.

I usually forgot to use tonics for montsh and months and i remember only when my skin is irritated

Anti ageing

- 1 HYDROTENSEUR concentrated drops (Rilastil)
Just bought it and used only once so can't say alot, gonna rewrite what the official website says:
Suitable for all skin types, thanks to hyaluronic acid and ceramides fills in wrinkles, hydrates and repairs the skin, giving the face a smooth and compact. He is also an antioxidant, increases cell turnover and the production of collagen type I.
I don't really need it, but we use to say "prevention is better than cure" so I'm going to use it once or twice per week.
Price is expensive

- 2 INTENSIVE eye Cream (rilastil)
Specific treatment for wrinkle and moisturizing the eye area. Impedes the formation of bags and dark circles.
I use it almost everyday and must say I love it.
That area around the eyes looks so much better, a better and healthy color and feels refreshed and compact.
Price is medium/high

- 3 Bio retinoid anti-ageing concetrate (REN)
This is the one i used for over two year, but now the bottle is empty.
It is very oily and moisturizing, used always after washed my face and before going to sleep around my lips and eyes especially, with a soft massage.
it smells very good and i found it working fine with my expression wrinkles (like when you smile) if used consistently.
Price is very expensive

- 4 3D Filler (KIKO)
is a treatment to correct and camouflage wrinkles instantly. If used consistently fills the signs of aging, prevents oxidative stress and gives the face a more youthful appearance and smooth.
It should be used on daytime but i find it way too oily so I almost never use it.
Price is medium

- 5 Invisible 3D lifting (KIKO)
is a serum for the face referred to as shock treatment before important events, giving immediate freshness to the face and optimizing duration and yield of make up.
As it says i only use it before and event the moment when i have to apply make-up, around the lips and the eyes
Price is medium

- 6 Total effect 7 in one Day cream (Oil of Olaz - Olay)
Just bought it so lets see what the official website says:

It also protect from UVA and UVB the main causes of sjin aging.

And I'm going to buy the night cream aswell

Rococo Soul blouse review

I ordered this blouse last April.
The shopping service told me it was going to be a long wait.
40 days to be ready to ship, plus 30 days, about for the package to be here.

In the end it took a few more then 2 months, but since I'm pregnant I was okay with it, and I really think the blouse worth the waiting.

 

The quality, for the little i understand, seems quite hight to me.
The details are awesome

And it got a second layer on the body to prevent the transparency

So on a scale fro 1 to 5 i give to this blouse a 5+

Here the link to Rococo Soul shop on Taobato

Review: Chess Story Coat

I wanted this coat so bad, but now is too cold to use it, it is good for spring/autumn weather, but is too light for winter.

 

I guess it is very sweet style, I've always been just classic, but lately I'm enjoying a soft sweet lolita style too.
The coat is very well made and all the buttons works properly
It got lot of bows, 2 on the sleeves,

2 on the pockets,

one on the front and one on the back.

 

The fake fur collar (I say it is fake because is not soft enough to be real, but I'm actually not sure about that)

is detachable as the front bow

Also the inside is very well made and pretty

(yeah that is an iron, sometimes ironing is needed XD but not the inside of the coat! )

The only thing that stops me to give the max grade to this coat is that i thought the fabric was going to be a bit more soft.

So in the end i give it on a scale from 0 to 5

4.7

Congrats Chess story, keep going!

Review: Infanta - Sleeping beauty skirt & Pink chiffon blouse

As promised, I'm back with a new review!

Infanta Sleeping Beauty, skirt version

Lately I'm really in love with brown and cream colors, and the pink one was just too sweet for me!

The stamp is very pretty, here you can see it more closely

The fabric is not heavy is good for spring and autumn, with proper tights it can be used in winter too, but is not going to save you from the cold of course.

For Hot summer it might be too heavy.

The shape is not perfect and the bow comes unstitched, i will need to give it a few seams.

 

I can't say that i'm really satisfied about the skirt, it is very nice, but the quality could have been better so from 0 to 5 i give to the skirt

4

Where to buy:

Infanta Sleeping Beauty Skirt

Infanta pink chiffon blouse

The blouse is lovable!

I planned to get it in brown but it was sold out, but the pink one si just perfect, I'm very happy i got that one.

The chiffon is so soft and comfortable is a pleasure to wear

But there is one only thing that stops me to give it a full 5.

On the awesome cuffs, the slots for buttos are too small and there is no way to button it up.

Too bad Infanta, too bad!

Because of this, that is quite important, i have to give to the blouse, from 0 to 5

Come on, Infanta you can do it better <3

Thanks for reading, cya for the next review,  CHESS STORY, incoming soon!

Review: Lady Sloth - Navy Gobelin JSK

Some times ago i ordered this JSK from Lady Sloth, did not had a chance to wear it yet, but finally i got some spare time to write a review about it.

This is the second time i buy from Lady Sloth and I must say she is always kind, helpful and professional.

First shipping got lost, i have no idea how and where, but i never received it.
When I told her she made me a whole new dress, and shipped it and i didn't had to pay anything else.
I'm very grateful for that.

So for the service a give her from 0 to 5 a 5++ and for the shipment another 5, because for sure it was a postal service mistake

THE PACKING

the package was whole and the address was printed

The dress inside was wrapped in another plastic to protect it better, when i opened it the dress was ironed it just had a few creases because it was shipped of course.

There was also an hair accessory

 

THE DRESS

When i saw it first thing i though was "it's gorgeous".

 

The fabric is not the usual cotton it is, let's say "rough", a little bit ticker and rigid perhaps, but in a good way, it gives to the dress that special look, and when i did try it on it was very comfortable, plus it is shirred on the front and the back.

But now lets see more details:

The ruffle is made of chiffon as the shirring on the front and it is very soft.

I love this color.

The lace is made of cotton, it was planned to be in navy but when first shipment got lost she only had this pink one left, but i think i like this one even more.

The bow is detachable and that's very good because i always need a belt, so i can pin the bow somewhere else.

Final vote:

Package 5

Shipment 5

Quality 5

Service 5++

Thank you Lady Sloth!

And thank you all for reading!

Review: Classical Puppets Petticoats, The 69th Department blouse and Surface Spell Blouse

You know that feeling when your order finally arrives?
Yeah that!

I did this order right after Christmas, it was payed with all the presents (in cash) i got from relatives, so you can guess it took alot for this order.
But this is because, I needed abouth a month to decide what to buy, because some things i wanted were sold out in the color i wanted, or there were not in my measure.
Then it arrived chinese new year eve.
and then, since i bought from different shops there was to wait for every single piece to arrive, then to pack it all together.
But the expedition itself was fast, about 2 weeks.

By opening it the first thin i saw was my new wig!

I'll write a special review just for it, another day, i didn't had time to try it properly (i'm too busy lately!)

I made an order for a basic lolita wardrobe, so i bought 2 long sleeves blouse, black and withe

The white one is from The 69th Department.
Simple cotton.
Size is L, even if, for this one, M would have been my measures i decided to get a bigger one to be "safe".
It fits me well, but i think M would work good too.
I like the shape is very girly.
And it got very cute button (sorry i don't have a detail).
Since it was exactly what i was expecting from a scale from 0 to 5 i give it a 5.

Black one is from Surface Spell.

Simple cotton, bigger ribbon and a cameo, i guess it is characteristic, because is the same one i got on the velvet jsk.

The measures were smaller then the 69th department one so i got an XL but it is too big, luckly this model can be thigten on the back, still i think shoulder are a bit too big.

The blouse itself is nice anyway.

So i give it a 5 too, cause wrong measures is always a risk when you buy online.

For a basic wardorbe i needed different shape petticoats, so i got a cupcake shaped one and another A line, but i black. Now i own 4 petticoats i think i'm gonna be okay for a bit ;)

I got them both from Classical Puppets.

The cupcake one is very fluffly! Love it!

It is soft and comfortable

big 5 for it!

A line one is lesser fluffy, and the material it is made of is different from the other one (but i knew) i like more the one i got from Hell Bunny.
But this one is the right length.
I give it a 4.

Thats all for now.
I also got, about a month ago, a blouse from Kidsyoyo i forgot to write about, and a skirt from Lady Sloth.
Oh my!
I'm so lazy but also very busy.
Beside job there are the Vampires Lives, and pen and paper rpg evening, and we were looking for a new home (and we found it!) and the wedding, and all the friends.etcetc.
Today i'm leaving for Itrill birthday, with Kat and Abigail, we going to Bologna and will be back tomorrow.
Have a nice weekend everybody!
