  • About me
slowly but steady i started to finish my sample. and this one i got as a bonus sample from tester korea. i actually bought the serum samples on my second haul, and i wasn't interested in the cream, but getting this as bonus, why not?

okay, skinfood is releasing a hell lot of new line, and most of it is moisturizing and targeted for anti aging treatment, and black pomegranate line is one of them. they are targeting for anti-wrinkle. this is the description from their global website: moisturizing black pomegranate cream for luminous, resilient skin.
this is the picture of the entire whole line, which is a lot... i guess you don't have to use all the product in the line.
the description from en.koreadepart.com: cream that makes dry and rough skin to be smooth and radiant skin. black pomegranate that contains full of ellagic acid, antioxidant ingredient, creates resilient and young skin. moisturizing and smooth touch.
ingredients: black pomegranate voluming effecter, pomegranate extract, pomegranate seed oil, adenosine.

okayy.. now let's onto the review.
the package: although the full size product bottle is red, the sample sachet is cream, just like the rest of the item in the line. one sachet can last up to 5 days since a little can be enough.
the smell: i guess since it's named pomegranate, so it's smell like pomegranate. a little bit acidic, but not that strong. quite subtle. once you applied it on your face, the scent will go away. actually, it's kind of weird though. pome in cosmetic? well, i guess there's a first time in everything.
the product: it's a white cream. a little bit thick, but not as thick as innisfree orchid night cream, but a little bit thicker thatn the innisfree orchid enriched cream. probably since it's for anti-aging, it's always on the thick side.
the result: well, 5 days isn't enough to determine the anti aging effect. all i can say is it doesn't break me out. i hope if i'm bored with my olay one, i can substitute it with this one.

okay, for you who have been reading my blog, you will know that i'm in search for essence or serum for sebum control and hopefully will shrink my pore. though i don't have gigantic pores, but i have visible pores on my nose and my inner cheek (near my nose). and i've tried the skinfood and mizon, and i haven't found the ace one. and i saw on sampehime's instagram (go see her blog: samplehime.com) and she said she loved the its skin po effector. even she bought two full-size bottles at once! so i guess the product must be good.. so i have to try it, and luckily, my usual sample seller has them, so i bought them.

this is the description from their official website:
po effector: silky essence especially designed to treat pores, containing highly concentrated houttuynia cordata extracts with the superior function of sebum control and 4 other ingredients combined to tighten pores for the management of pores.

since i have good experience with vc effector, i hope i get the same experience with this one too..
the package: the sample is in a sachet that's have the picture and the color of the full size product. it's also shaped like a bottle. i guess it'll make easier for you to purchase the full size since you've already known the color. 
the smell: usually i can't pick certain scent out of a product, but this one.. it has a distinct floral scent. since i have a bed smelling sense, i assume it must be a little bit strong for normal nose.. so it's a no-no for me. i can't stand fragrant smell, that's why i never buy perfume. it makes me dizzy. and i always have the assumption that my skincare shouldn't smell this strong. too floral.. but for you who like floral scent, probably it will work for you.
the product: it's a cloudy white substance, a little bit whobbly, but not too runny. like a cream but light, more to gel. i don't know how to describe the texture, but all i know, it's absorbed quickly. oh and one sachet can last for 3 uses, so i get to use this sample for whole week, sometimes twice a day. 
the result: i can only comment for the sebum control. and it did help a little with sebum control. just like skinfood and mizon, but it didn't leave slightly greasy feeling like mizon. as for the pore tightening effect, i have no saying. but some bloggers said that it works. it just needs time. probably months. so for you who want instant result or at least quicker, just skip this.

overall, this is a good serum for pore and sebum control, but since i can't stand the scent, i have to skip this one.

my skin condition when i first use this
yeyy.. finally i can get ahold of my tester korea haul. my second haul.. and my last sample haul. as i stated previously, i ordered my samples from grosirsamplekorea.com (previously grosirsamplekorea.blogspot.com). though the seller is rarely accepting wish list, but most of the sample that i want, she's already had it. one disadvantage is she's in pontianak.. so i have to choose the slowest one to make sense the shipping rate.

okayy... let's talk about my tester korea haul.
1. skinfood premium tomato whitening kit. well, i want to try balance my skin tone, my face skin tone with my neck. and i want to get rid of my spots, so i want to try whitening products. and skinfood is launching their new tomato line, so i want to try it. i heard that the whole entire line is suitable for oily skin, so i hope it's true. though i didn't want the entire line, i had my eye on the cream or the essence, but trying the whole line won't hurt.
2. nature republic watery max combination cream: i've been searching for these samples. i've said that i'm in search of the new moisturizer. so far, i had my mind on the mizon water volume aqua gel, but i still want to try this one. after that probably i'll decide which one to buy on full size. *finger cross*
3. skinfood pomegranate volumining serum : this is another serum for anti aging. i was hoping this is okay for me, since i've searching for anti aging treatment..
4. its skin vc effector: actually, this is a mistake. i was supposed to get the vb one, but my sister who ordered this for me get me vc instead. oh well, since i've already tried vc, so i can accept the mistake. and if i'm bored, i'll give it to her to finish so i can buy vb. hahaha..

my second tester korea haul

nature rep super aqua max combination watery cream - its skin vc effector - skinfood pomegranate volumining serum

now, my sample haul
1. its skin po effector: i have to admit sample hime affected me on this one. she's adore it, and i have to try it. i want to try it, but since i've read somewhere that it's greasy, so i keep postponing to try it. but then i was bored and i want to try something new while waiting my TK haul, so i got it. it's the first one that i tried, and i will write a short review soon about it.
2. its skin co effector: well, i have to have something else if the skinfood pome didn't work out.
3. innisfree green tea seed serum and cream: okay.. i love innisfree, and the green tea seed serum is huge. i want to try it. let's just say, i just have to.
4. skin79 green bb cream: this is the palest shade for oily skin, so i have to compare it to the orange one. just for comparison.
5. sulwhasoo overnight vitalizing mask: this one i have to blame skinandtonics and wanderlustproject. both loved it soooo muchh.. though probably i would never buy the full size, it won't hurt to try the sample right? just like laneige. who knows that the famous firming sleeping pack breaks me out? whoo..

my samples from grosirsample

okay.. by typing this, i had this itch to try them at once, but.. i have to wait. until then...
