Tony Moly Honey Bubble Foaming Cleanser: HATE!

I just realized that "BUBBLE FOAM" anything is not for me.

I love Asian Skincare brands, and I just recently purchased something from Tony Moly. I needed a new cleanser because I was running out on Nivea Sparkling White Cream Cleanser. For P250 (on sale) I bought Tony Moly Honey Bubble Foam Cleanser to try it out, along with Tony Moly Toner & Emulsion for Men (that little purple bottle in the picture below) for my brother.

I was so excited to try it out! This is my first time to try this brand out, and my first time to use this kind of cleanser. I immediately pumped some fluid into my hands to start cleaning my face last night and to my surprise! Out came the bubbles!

I mean, okay, so I wasn't really thinking that bubbles-as-in-just-bubbles would come out. I was thinking more it would be face cream/fluid with some bubbles, but no! All poofy bubbles came out. I was like, "what? can this really clean my face?!"

I did try it out and I was astonished on the smell. UGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!! I immediately turned the bottle upside down to find the manufacturing date lest it be 1880s or something! I discovered that it was just this year 2009. BUT IT SMELLED OF OLD MUSTY THINGS! It didnt smell of honey, or anything natural. Okay so it smelled earthy, but I smelled dung somewhere there!

The final crunch is that it doesn't even clean my face decently. I had on bb cream, mineral foundation and a little bit of blush and mascara. The mascara was still there after washing! And when I rinsed it off and applied toner afterwards, my cotton pad was smeared with bb cream leftovers.

UGH. TERRIBLE! I don't like bubble foams cleansers and will never try it again. Have you tried bubble foam cleansers yourself?

I HATE!
But I love you guys! Thanks for reading!

    i have tried bubble foam but only from skin food... the tea tree one... i did like it but i find the foaming cleanser one to be much economical :) i have to pump twice for the cleanser to foam up but with a foaming cleanser a pea dot is enough :)

    it's sad to know that you have a bad experience with bubble foams :( probably there is one for you out there hehehe :) thanks for the review...

    Hello dear! It's good to see you again xD

    I've never tried any Tony Moly products but I've heard that they're good with powders and BB Cream. Korean products always have lovely packages and I couldn't help purchasing them T.T

    Innisfree is interesting, they've got soooo many skincare lines. But for now I think I'm gonna try Nature Republic =D

    Aww, it's sad that you had a bad experience with a TM product, because EVERYTHING I have (well, at least 90%) of my skincare products is Tony Moly and I'm SO big on them, I've been wondering for a while why they haven't sought me and paid me to endorse them roflmao. But yeah! They do have their (occasional!) bad products.. This sounds really blergh X_x

Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai: Melancholic Contemplation

Arriving all the way from USA, I had a tiny traveler plop down right in front of my desk. The moment I held the book, I immediately focused long and hard on the book cover. I've had my small share of contemporary Japanese novels and each had very interesting designs, but not one is as gently arresting as this Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai published by One Peace Books . Soft yet stark. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but it certainly is a good way to hold the interest of the readers. A closer look at the cover would remind one of things that are "beautiful in its simplicity". Everybody knows the Japanese aesthetics, a "set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yûgen (profound grace and subtlety). * " Reflecting at these values, it's wonderful to observe how the cover follows the flow of wabi and yugen, isn't it? But a book should offer more than...

VOV Castledew Eyeshadow Palette

I've always wanted an eyeshadow palette though I'm not sure if eyeshadows are my thing. I just love Castledew because it's so princessy and shiny and jewel-like and perfect. A Castle dew eyeshadow palette in all its shiny pretty glory! This is available in the La Core stall (korean beauty shop). Every time I passed by their stall, I always ask to view the palette and I always jump up and down in delight when I see it. Now I have it! MUAHAHAHA! I'll try to play around with the colors! See you!

Books in the Mail: HarperCollins Stash for August-September

I've just about settled here in Manila, yet my address is giving me a headache. I've only been used to a residential address, not a condominium unit number so I'm always worried about lost mail. I didn't think that my Harper Collins books would find its way to me. Until one fine morning: I was absolutely crazy happy. I have very little faith in Manila postal offices due to horrendous reports of misdirected mail, opening of packages, and even high taxation of mailed goods which is so ridiculous #thirdworldproblems and all that. I received two packages from Harper Collins on the same week, so you can just imagine me jumping for joy. Here are the books I received from several months' worth: I am an avid fan of Harper Collins, even before they noticed me and my blog. They are one of the publishing houses that I love because their editors and agents are AMAZING! They source out new authors and get them published, and those are testament to their great ...
