i thought i've used up all my etude sunscreen sample, but turned out when i was preparing for our family quick getaway, i found this sample among my samples pile. sooo.. since we're going to bali, it's a perfect opportunity to try this sunscreen. actually, when i got back, i was confused when i searched for this product.

this is the picture from sassygeo, and its design is similar to my sample.
but i also found other picture from the full size tube in sassygeo as well
sooo.. to be the truth, i have no idea, which is the right picture to describe the full size product.
okay. back to etude house sunscreen. apparently, it has a line designed especially for sunscreen. according to myfatpocket.com, there are 6 of them, the super aqua, the natural corrector, the must daily, the mom and kids, face & body sunspray and all proof. i've tried the water essence gel (which i think changed into super aqua) and must daily. 

the product description from myfatpocket.com: this product offers triple protection (anti-UV + anti-melanin + anti-wrinkle). it not only prevents photo aging and dark spots, it also has skin whitening benefits and prevents the occurence of wrinkles. the sunblock is also sand, dye and stain proof. this not only prevents unsightly stains on swimming costumes or other swim wear, it also prevents sand from sticking to skin.  
while this is the description from en.koreadepart.com: sun cream that hydrates and blocks uv rays. powder emulsion technology and porosity powder give a cooling sensation with non greasy formula. mangosteen peel and lotus extract block uv rays. provides a surge of moisture. spf 45 PA++.

okay.. now onto the sample review. since i only has one sachet, so i can't say anything about the anti-melanin and anti-wrinkle function.
the packaging: my sample sachet is designed exactly like the full size product picture from sassygeo. it's white with the picture in the middle.
the smell: i can't smell anything sharp so i guess it is really subtle. and it doesn't smell like typical sunscreen.
the product: it's a white cream, pretty thick, thicker than water essence gel and the must daily. and it's quite hard to spread around. i was worried that it might mess my makeup, but after waiting for a while, it's absorbed completely. though i think it's a little bit sticky for my taste.
the result: i've told you that my skin is being normal these days. usually my nose will shine after 3-4 hours, but lately it's matte almost 5-6 hours, even though it's hot and humid and i wear full makeup. soooo.. it's bali and bali is pretty hot and humid, not to mention i had to spend the morning indoor but without air conditioner since my son refuse to sit still inside the church, so i was sweating. but when we got back at the hotel, only my nose that became greasy, so i guess my skin's really in its prime condition. but i guess for you who has combination-oily type, this sunscreen might be too rich for you. about the sun protection, all i can say that it held its promise. i didn't experience sunburn at all, though i spent most of day at the beach playing around with my son, or at the pool, swimming. so i guess it must be really all proof, just like it's said.

overall, this is a good sunscreen for all around activities, especially outdoors, sports and swimming. but i will suggest something else if you want daily sunscreen since this might be too rich for some of you. though it doesn't cause breakouts for me, i guess it might give you breakouts if you became sweaty and all. and about the white cast, i think it caused white cast, but not as bad as my faceshop sunscreen.

i know.. i haven't written anything for almost half month, but since i don't have that long list of skincare products to try, i don't have anything to write for now. though i'm testing some products, but i haven't finished them yet, so i'd better wait until i finished them. meanwhile, i'll write something about my hair products, which i forgot to review.

i know i love my previous loreal liss smooth mask, but it was expensive and i'm looking for a good substitute but cheaper. i found myself attracted to syoss when i went to the supermarket, and i grabbed their moisture mask, though they have repair line for damaged hair. i don't know why, but at that moment, my hair was in considerably good condition, so i just pick the dry hair option.

at first, it gave my similar result to my loreal. and then i started to not use it regularly, and then i swam regularly again. so my hair was exposed to chemicals more than it's used to be. and it became really hot and humid these days, and i noticed my hair started to have split ends. uughhh.. i know, using the mask right now won't help, but i'm hoping using it regularly again will help a little to lessen the dryness of my hair.

let's talk about the hair mask..
the packaging: it was in a big pot just like the loreal, but this one has thinner wall, so probably it contained more products than loreal.
the smell: it smell nice, but really subtle.
the product and result: it's a white cream, pretty thick. after slathering it to my hair, i can feel that it smoothed my hair quicker than loreal. but in terms of moisturizing, i felt like this one wasn't moisturizing enough. after rinsing it, i can feel that it has no effect on my hair condition. just make it smoother, but not moisturize it. kinda disappointing since it was targeted for dry hair.

sooo.. it is obvious that i won't repurchase this mask and will try nature republic one. i never tried korean hair product, so i'm hoping jumping to buy full size product won't disappoint me.

i guess i've tried most of the things i needed for my skincare routine.. and i've experienced with makeup palettes before so i've decided not to buy any palette aside from eyeshadow palettes. sooo.. here's my new wish list. some of them i've already purchased in full size.

for skincare:
essence: innisfree soybean energy essence (will try the light version, but i guess it won't be much difference than this one)
toner: will decide after trying etude house wonder pore freshner 10 in 1 (not the 7 in 1), and if i don't like it, i will purchase the faceshop 9 in 1 toner.
serum: for day i'll use its skin power 10 vb effector or skinfood peach sake pore serum, depends on which one i can get my hands on. for night, i haven't decided yet.. but so far the winner is missha night repair new science activator ampoule, but it's pricey...
moisturizer: for day i use nature republic super aqua max combination watery cream or skinfood premium tomato whitening emulsion, depends on which one i can get. and for night, so far i'll still use my olay total effects anti ageing night cream.
sunscreen: etude house sunprise water essence gel.

for additional:
wash off mask: skinfood black sugar strawberry scrub mask off and innisfree volcanic clay mask (probably i'll try the soft one, but the super volcanic one is okay)
sleeping pack: haven't decided yet.. so far laneige has failed me. and sulwashoo is wayyy tooo pricey...

for makeup, my wish list keeps changing, especially in the lipstick department. i don't know if it's because of those pregnancy hormones that make me crazy about them lately.. but i do a color freak, so deciding which color to buy is a very difficult task.
foundation: since i'm toward bb cream nowadays, probably i'll look for something smaller in size, probably the innisfree one.. but i'm not sure yet.
bb cream: i'm eyeing on holika holika petit bb or skin79 hot pink but in smaller size.
bb cushion: innisfree long wear cushion #13
powder: innisfree no sebum mineral powder or the famous skinfood buckwheat or the peach sake loose powder. or probably just save my money and buy elf translucent mattifying powder.
blush on: nyx powder blush in pinched (done!), mauve (almost done!) and apricot. though i still want to try rimmel but i can't find online shop here that sells them.
mascara: right now i'm purchasing the etude house 3 step lash perm volumecara and curling. if i don't like that, i'll go back to my loreal or max factor.
eyeliner: right now i'm purchasing nyx two timer eyeliner, but i'm eyeing on the infamous clio waterproof pen eyeliner. though i'm considering the etude house drawing show brush liner too.
eyeshadow: coastal scents revealed palette (done!)
lipstick: i'm still thinking.. will i buy the nyx butter lipstick, or wet n wild one? or etude house dear my wish lips talk.. hmmm.. i don't know... really.. and there are nyx butter lipglosses too.. arrrghh.. it's so hard to decide.. any suggestion?

okay.. for now those are my wish list. probably it will change.. and you will read about it later if i decided to change my mind.
