[REVIEW] Innisfree NEW Green Tea Line (Some products from the Balancing + Fresh line!)

Hello readers! Double posts today because I had recently went on a hugggggeee Innisfree shopping spree in a span of two days. HAHAHHAS. 

First day: 

[TOP] Innisfree Cotton Pads x3
[BOTTOM LEFT]: Creamy Tint Lip Mousse, Green Tea Seed Serum, Lip Base
[BOTTOM RIGHT, clockwise from top left]: Makeup Sponges, Lip Brush, Diagonal Brush for Blusher, Green Tea Balancing Skin, Lotion, & Cream

Day Two: 

[TOP LEFT]: Green Tea Seed Serum Trial Kit, Green Tea Fresh Cream
[BOTTOM CENTRE]: Shadow Pencil in #1 Snow Crystal & #6 Sour Tangerine,Brush, Daily Brush Cleaner

As you can see, it was a huge haul on their green tea line products, lip-cosmetics, as well as beauty tools. :D For those who are unaware of it yet, Innisfree had recently re-launched their Green Tea Pure Line into THREE different types: 

1. Fresh (for oily skin type): Skin (i.e. toner/refiner), Essence, Cream
2. Balancing (for combination skin type): Skin, Lotion, Cream
3. Moisture (for dry skin type): Skin, Essence, Cream (Moisture Skin was previously Pure Skin)

(Note that only the Balancing Line has Lotion, whereas only Fresh & Moisture has Essence)

So many creams~~!
Fresh - Oily, Balancing - Combination, Moisture - Dry, Seed - Deeply Moisturizing

Product Benefits: 

[Balancing Line - For Combination Skin Type]
Skin (toner/refiner), Lotion (moisturizer/emulsion), Cream (moisturizer)

[Fresh Line - For Oily Skin Type]
Cream, Skin, Essence

I bought the Green Tea Seed Serum, which I raved over in a past review here, and there was a special promotion ongoing where if you buy a Green Tea Seed Serum (SGD$36), you'll receive a Green Tea Special Kit containing 3 products from the Balancing Line: Skin, Lotion, & Cream. 

This was perfect as I was also looking for a moisturizer to replace the one I was currently using (that one was getting a little too oily for my face, in this humid humid huuuuuuumid weather). 

The Green Tea Special Kit aren't exactly the full sized products, but they're definitely generous enough to make it this large too! :D

SUMMARY OF REVIEW

My thoughts:

Green Tea Special Kit: I love the Skin & Lotion! The Skin is sort of like a watery gel, and leaves my skin feeling cool and clean. The Lotion is absolutely perfect, not oily and makes my skin feeling soft afterwards! The Cream was a tad too rich though, it left my skin feeling like I've put too much stuff on my face to absorb (this may very well be true seeing that this was the last thing I applied). Although this slightly gunky feeling disappears after half an hour or so, with mad rushes in the morning, I doubt I'll have the time or the patience to wait for my skin to absorb the Cream before applying my make-up for the day. 

Here's where the Green Tea Fresh Cream comes in to save the day! 

I absolutely loveeee the clear gel! It spreads across my face like cooling water and is very very easily absorbed even after applying the Skin & Lotion. :) 

I replaced the Balancing Cream with this Fresh Cream. :) Perhaps my skin hovers in-between the Oily and Combination skin types. hahhahas.

[I'll be posting reviews on the eye shadow pencils at a later date!]

Would I buy it again:
Yes! I most definitely think so! And I'd recommend the Green Tea Lines as gift ideas for your girlfriends, wives, friends, etc.! 

Price: 

• Green Tea Fresh Cream: SGD$25
• Green Tea Seed Serum: SGD$36 for the serum + free Green Tea Special Kit

Verdict: 10/10!

[REVIEW] Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cleansing Water

Hello readers! Continuing a series of reviews from the products I had bought from Innisfree, today's review would be on the Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cleansing Water!

This product is used to remove light make-up such as bb creams, as well as light point make up such as eye-liners. This was something I had gotten on a whim while browsing through the store. The bottle was rather big, containing 300ml of the liquid. And being a fan of the Green Tea series, I couldn't resist giving this a try. 

Product Benefits: 

This dewy, easily washable cleansing water contains Jeju eco-friendly green tea and Green Complex, and witch hazel water which provides moisturising, antioxidant properties and thoroughly removes not only sunscreen and BB cream, but also light point make-up. 

4-Free System: No parabens, No animal ingredients, No mineral oil, No artificial fragrances. 

Instructions for use: 

Place 2 sheets of cotton pads on top of pump and gently press downwards. 

Cute pump!

Use wet cotton pads to softly swipe across your face. 

For demonstration purposes, I had only used one cotton pad

When your skin feels dry, wash only with water after product use. 

Before (right) & After (left)

 SUMMARY OF REVIEW

My thoughts: When I opened the cap and pumped some of the water onto the cotton pad, I immediately got a whiff of the product. The green tea fragrance is just like the rest of the brand's Green Tea line - which is something I enjoy very very much. The fragrance is a lot stronger here, so for those who aren't sure if they're fans of green tea, it would be best to head down to your local store to try it out before buying! The make-up remover properties was also good! It left my skin feeling a tad bit greasy after cleaning, but this disappeared after a few minutes, in which it left my skin feeling soft and cool. It doesn't appear to have any alcohol in it either. The green tea fragrance lingers on the skin after removal (yay!). :) I would recommend this to people who only wear very light make-up or sunscreen. :)

Would I buy it again: Yes! I love the cleansing power of this product, and the smell is a huge yes for me too!

 Price: SGD$20 at local Innisfree stores, 12000won (~SGD$14.30) in South Korea, SGD$19.90 at qoo10.sg

 Verdict: 10/10

[REVIEW] Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cleansing Foam

Hello readers! As I've recently been on an Innisfree Green Tea blogging spree, I thought I might as well do a review on this facial cleanser - Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cleaning Foam. I alternate my cleansers between this one and Laneige Multicleanser (my review of that here!). 

As most of you know by now (if you don't, click here for a quick summary of the brand, Innisfree!), Innisfree is my favourite cosmetic brand due to its natural ingredients. Their facial cleansers are also pretty affordable, and effective too! 

Product Benefits: 
Enriched with Green Tea and Green complex from pure Jeju Island. Green tea revives dry, stressed skin by supplying abundant moisture.
This mild cleansing foam cleanser contains Jeju eco-friendly green tea moisturising, antioxidant ingredients and kaolin. It washes off not only make-up residue, but also soft facial hair impurities with its refined and foamy lather as it helps to create fresh and clean skin.

Instructions for use: 
Squeeze an appropriate amount onto clean hands and create lather. Smoothly massage over your face and throughly rinse with lukewarm water.

about a 20-cent dollop worth of cream usually works :)

 SUMMARY OF REVIEW

My thoughts: I absolutely love the green herb and grass-like smell of this cleanser. The fragrance is pretty intense compared to the other similar products in the Innisfree Green Tea Line. 

Would I buy it again: Yes! I alternate this with my Laneige Multi Cleanser :)

Price: SGD$10 at local Innisfree stores, 6000won in South Korea

Verdict: 9/10

[REVIEW] Innisfree Green Tea Pure Gel Hand Cream

Hello readers! As Christmas is nearing soon, we are all probably heading to the malls to pick up some stocking gifts for the people we love. The product that I'll be reviewing today is an ideal stocking stuffer and very suitable for those who work in air-conditioned offices and even nurses, who are subjected to dry hands each day - Innisfree Green Tea Pure Gel Hand Cream. 

(That's right, it's a gel) 

Product Benefits: 
Enriched with chemical-free Green Tea from Jeju Island, this refreshing gel-type hand cream is enriched with moisturising antioxidants to restore resilience. 

Instructions for use: 
Apply an appropriate amount evenly onto hands and massage.

The gel-like texture absorbs quickly into your skin

 SUMMARY OF REVIEW

My thoughts: Yet again, it smells similarly to the other products in the Innisfree Green Tea Line. I have always loved the green herb and grassy fragrance so it's a joy to apply! The cream is non-sticky and doesn't leave that greasy residual feeling after application. In fact, this gel absorbs quickly into the skin as I massaged it over my hands. 

screw-in cap

Would I buy it again: Yes! This gel-type hand cream absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky, greasy feeling. :)

Price: SGD$10 at local Innisfree stores, 6000won in South Korea

Verdict: 10/10

[REVIEW] Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist

Hello Readers! I'll be doing a quick review on another Innisfree product - Green Tea Mineral Mist today!

This mineral mist is a facial mist, which you can use throughout the day whenever you feel like you need a pick-me-up and if your skin is feeling a bit tight or dry. :) This product comes in two sizes - 50ml and 150ml. As I would prefer it to be small enough to carry around in my bag, I had decided to pick up the smaller bottle (50ml). :)

(It's as tall as my hand gel! ~12cm)

Product Benefits: 
This hypoallergenic mist contains 100% organic Jeju green tea water and green complex. Green tea is known to fight free radicals and neutralise damage caused by UV exposure. Imagine having that on your face. :D It also contains panthenol (for cell growth and moisture synthesis) and batain (for fast moisturization).
6-Free System - No artificial fragrances, no parabens, no benzophenone, no ethanol, no animal ingredients and no mineral oil.

Instructions for use:
Whenever your skin feels dry, spray approximately 20cm away from face with eyes closed. It can be applied before and after make-up. *do not shake bottle before use. (this proved to be a bit of a problem for me at the beginning as I was used to shaking all pressurised bottle like I'm a bartender mixing drinks...)

SUMMARY OF REVIEW

My thoughts:
This product carries a faint fragrance similar to the the rest of the products in Innisfree Green Tea Line. I loved the fragrance! It reminds me of green herbs and grass. :) It is also non-sticky and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. I've tried it without wearing make-up and also after wearing make-up. This mist appears to help set the make-up, and gives your overall complexion a tinge (just a little tinge!) of dewiness. Even I (not a fan of dewy skin, especially since we live in humid Singapore) could actually accept this level of dewiness.

Would I buy it again:
Yes! I have been looking for a facial mist to tote around, and I'm glad I found this!

Price (50ml):
SGD$8 at local Innisfree stores, 5000won in Korea, approximately SGD$8.90 at Qoo10

Verdict: 10/10!
