Etude House Skin Malgem Deep Moist, Smoother & Emulsion : Review

Hello I'm just bought Etude House's product, Skin Malgem! What I have here are both the Toners (Smoother & Deep Moist) and the Emulsion.  Etude released six types (5 toner and 1 emulsion): Fresh, Smoother, Moist, Deep Moist, Essential and Emulsion. Actually this series was launched long time ago but I now only decided to buy it because of I had tried on their trial kit (Free from last time promotion when buy RM120 and above if not mistaken), the results after applied it was so amazing! Somemore I now only left the Wonder Pore Freshner as my toner (The alcoholic effect of it so strong so I can only use once in a week) so I decided to grab two sets of Skim Malgem into my skincare line :D

맑음[mal:gem]
Malgem  is a korean word for cleanliness, clarity and pureness. And also, this product is endorsed by SHINee! Teehee but I swear I buy these is because of their amazing effects on my skin kayy :P



I have used the free samples for around one month so after I bought the sets I only decided to write the review. 

Sorry that the resolution of the photos are so bad because my DSLR camera no battery atm and all I have now is my LG phone, fish eye lens and wide lens :O
Okay I'm not going into the details of the paper box nor the ingredients of the products because I guess there's enough of reviews to talk about it and somemore you guys can search it online right? :O 

Here's the smoother, deep moist and emulsion :)
I bought one smoother, one deep moist and 2 emulsions ^^


Instead of letting you guys wonder how's the sample of trial kit of skim malgem looks like, tadahh :P

You can buy it @any Etude House branch for RM43.50 or online buy it @Hermo for RM25 only! There are no difference for the skin malgem kit, just that the price you buy will be different :$ 



Actually the bottle is not made up of glass, for whoever thought it was. It is made up from hard matte plastic and it has a very simple and cute design (at least it's my type!) 

The toners and the emulsion come in the matte bottles with  plastic twist-off screwed cap and the opening is perfectly sealed with a foil. The fluid can be easily pour out from the opening of the bottle after you peel off the foil :)

This is the emulsion bottle, as you can see emulsion bottle is a bit smaller than toner's and it comes with pink bottle to differentiate itself from the toner's :D

And this one is smoother bottle, the deep moist bottle is totally same with it just that the content is different.

How I use the product huh?
It is the best to use the toner after washing your face. For my daily skincare, the sequence is from: Nature Republic 92% Aloe Vera gel > freshner (once in a week) > toner > essence > emulsion > sleeping mask (optional).

Let's review the Skin Malgem's Smoother:
This toner removes the dead skin and bacteria as it is an exfoliation toner, so this one actually brightens up your complexion if you use it daily. FYI: It does brightens up my face after I used for around one month :) Your face will feel very fresh, light, clean and moisturised! 

Simply use a cotton pad for this.
Light and watery. Colorless. 
It's like a regular toner. 
To me it looks more like water with  fragrance trololol
After I apply it, it immediately absorb into my skin ^^
P/S: I love the scent!!!! Kinda like floral scent.
Sorry for the inconsistency of the light, but it's unedited photo. 
Here's the result of totally absorbed into my skin.
While using the product, i can feel my skin is a lot smoother. 
I can feel the difference after using it just for few days. 
 It does not give me any allergies or redness. 
No tingling sensation or any uncomfortable tightness. So thumbs up for this!

This apply to the normal skin types though. 
Overall thoughts for Skin Malgem's Smoother:
Pros:  -It really brings an instant glowing look when it is applied to the face
          -Moisturizes really well, even better than our usual toner
          -Its scent is pleasant
          -Minimizes pores and pore cleansing
          -Not sticky at all
          -Absorb really fast

Cons: -A little pricey here (RM79.90)
          -Easily spill out when I pour it out -_- 
          -If overusing it, will cause some breakouts 

Here's the review of Skin Malgem's Deep moist:
As you can see it's a bit sticky than smoother and it's not watery.
It highly nutrients skin with a very high moisture level. 
This is used for very dry skin as it is capable to penetrate deep and effectively. 
The soybean extracts will nourish skin effectively and change the skin condition.
After apply it. Sorry for the spots on my skin T.T White skin ppl always easily get dark spots idk why T.T
Water: [4/6]
Nutrition: [6/6]
For: Dry Skin.
After totally absorbed into my skin :)
Can see the difference right? 
It looks smoother :O
When using this product, the effect is almost like Skin Malgem's Smoother. Just that it is more moisturize than it.

 This apply to very dry skin types only. 
Overall thoughts for Skin Malgem's Deep moist:
Pros:  -Moisturizes really well
          -Its scent is pleasant
          -Require only a small amount to apply 
          -Not sticky at all
          -Absorb really fast

Cons: -A little pricey here (RM79.90)
          -Sometimes hard to pour it out (dafuq? I think failed my physics hahaha)
          -If overusing it, will cause some breakouts 

Last one, Skin Malgem's Emulsion:
Skin Malgem Emulsion is  the matching moisturizer used for any five types of the toner. Use this after apply the toner & essence (optional) and it gives the skin a healthy glow.
 It will not clog pores since it is water-based. 
I personally think that it is better than the Etude House collagen emulsion. 

After apply it. See, it looks so smooth on my skin.
It is really thin that you won't feel anything so heavy and dense covering your skin in the morning and night. 
After fully absorbed :D


Overall thoughts for Skin Malgem's Emulsion:
Pros: -The consistency is really light and not oily
         -It doesn't clog pores somemore brightens up the skin complexion
         -Its scent so good and I like to sniff it (WTH?) 
         -Moisturize my skin for quite a long time
         -No irritation 

Cons: -Doesn't have SPF like any other moisturizer.
          -Again pricey :$ -->RM79.90

Okayyyyy and now I will show you the photo of with apply toner and emulsion and without apply :
Without apply:
My skin is white but it looks so dry :O
With apply:
See! My skin looks so smooth after apply these -_-

Ohh and here's the other use of toner. Applicable for all types of toner actually. I mean for this series.
The toner can use as mist, paper mask or any other usage :)




So my first beauty review ends here. Thanks for reading it :D

Loves,
xoxo

小时代

作家郭敬明在《小时代》一书中,采用全新的叙述笔调,加入大量时尚元素,随处可见轻松搞笑的对话和内容,时而让人捧腹大笑,时而令人扼腕叹息。将当代青少年,大学生甚至白领的生活和感情娓娓道来,更多的却是对整个时代的观察和思考。

《小时代》这本书给我印象很深,故事以经济飞速发展的上海这座风光而时尚的城市为背景,讲述了林萧、南湘、顾里、唐宛如四个感情深厚,有着不同价值观和人生观的女生,先后经历友情、爱情、乃至亲情的巨大转变,是一部当下时尚年轻人生活的真实写照。在一个宿舍朝夕相处的四个女生,开始了找工作、实习的忙碌生活。面对生存的巨大压力,在看似平静的生活中不断发生着让她们措手不及,不知如何面对抉择的事情。

我们的爱、恨、感动、伤怀,我们的过去,我们的现在,我们无限遥远的未来;我们呼朋引伴的草绿时代,我们促膝长谈的慢慢长夜,都被灌录在那固定长度的那片胶片里,随着机器的读取,投影在黑暗中的幕布,持续放映,主演们在幕布上悲欢离合,观众们在黑暗中用眼泪与他们共鸣。我们仅仅是这个庞大时代的小小碎片,无论有多么起伏的剧情在身上上演,我们彼此聚扰、旋转、切割、重合,然后组成一个光芒四射的巨大玻璃球,我们是微茫存在,折射出心里每一丝憧憬和每一缕不甘。但生活永远不是连续剧,它永远有着猜不透的剧情。

电影小时代中一些我印象深刻的经典台词:

当青春变成旧照片,当旧照片变成回忆,当我们终于站在分叉的路口,孤独,失望,彷徨,残忍,上帝打开了那扇窗,叫做成长的大门。

我们活在浩瀚的宇宙里,漫天飘洒的宇宙尘埃和星河光尘,我们是比这些还要渺小的存在。你被失望拖进深渊,你被疾病拉近坟墓,你被挫折践踏的体无完肤,你被嘲笑、被讽刺、被讨厌、被怨恨、被放弃。我们都是小小的星辰。

很多时候,我们的人生,就像是电影里配乐的叙事片段。镜头从我们身上一个一个地切过去,然后转了一圈,又切回来。没有对白,没有台词,我们沉默地出现在这些被音乐覆盖着的镜头里。


我的第六个愿望就是:想和你做一辈子的朋友。


你给我一滴泪,我就看到了你心中所有的海洋。


牵着我的手,闭着眼睛走你也不会迷路。


你之所以能够这样无所谓说钱不重要,那是因为你从来没有过过没有钱的日子。


小时代真的很真实 
女孩们之间的相知相惜 羡慕妒忌 到最后抱头痛哭
乍看之下 
不就好像我们身边的故事吗?

小时代3的片尾曲 时间煮雨
是我们老吴 吴亦凡 -------我想你了
续exo解约事件后
公开的第一首歌

歌词真的很有意思



所以难得我文艺一下 就推荐这系列电影啦


或许有些人只是过客



生命总会和不同的人
相遇
相识
相知
同学 朋友
同事 爱人


但是并不是所要与你相遇的人都变成你生命的固定班底
他们或许只是过客


人生其实像在坐车
上了一部 下车 又继续上另外一部
你是别人的乘客同时你也是一台汽车

有的人到站了就会从你的车里下来
而你从别人的车下来后等到新的车就会重新踏上新的旅程


下车不一定是离开了幸福的高速路
再上车也不一定能一直走到总站
因为前路是未知的
谁也不知道未来的模样


只有敢于踏出新的步伐
我相信一定会有更好的故事


缘分有时不完美
总让人无奈、心碎
缘分有时又是完美的
它让人快乐 满足…



Loves,

xoxo
