Review: Ettusais Peeling Milk

Hi guys! I'm reviewing the Ettusais Peeling Milk today. I started using Ettusais like 3 years ago when my skin was acne-prone with pimples on my forehead. Their products did work and I will probably review them sometime later. So as a member, every $200 spent entitles you to a $10 product voucher. The peeling milk cost $26 and I paid $16 after the voucher.

It is advised to exfoliate 2-3 a week, but I do it just 1-2 times a week. This peeling milk is mildly acidic and has a milky texture.

As advised by Ettusais:
1. Apply to clean and dry skin
2. Use a cherry size amount (2cm in diameter) and apply while avoiding areas around eyes, eyebrows and lips.
3. 30 second rule: Massage in circular motions for only 20 seconds.
( I always exceed it because somehow I will feel that I missed out an area or two) Nevertheless, keep it short to avoid over-exfoliating and causing too much friction on the skin.

White bits will start to appear and if you look closely, it is actually greyish so there is where the unwanted dead skin cells go to!

I personally advise to exfoliate in the morning so your skin will look bright and fresh. Remeber to resume your usual skincare routine and moisturise as the skin tends to get dry after exfoliation.

This peeling milk is reasonble for normal to oily skin types as it does remove the excess oil but skin feels a little tight after that, that is why moisturiser needs to come in.

I wouldnt really advise it for sensitive skin (like mine) due to its acidic nature. I have since stopped using it after the Envie De Neuf Taiwan SA said that it is too harsh for my skin which is quite thin already. She advised me to use those gel-like texture ones which is less harsh. So I am now using the remaining peeling milk on my knees and elbows to brighten them.

RATING: 3.5/5
Will I Repurchase: No

Update: I just hauled back some Curel Skincare products and is so excited to start using them as it is the Japan's No1 brand for Asian Senstive Skin.

Next review coming up soon!

Haul: Taiwan Trip

I made a trip to Taiwan recently and was just back a week ago. I hauled back quite a number of makeup and skincare items on top of clothings and shoes. Burst my budget but oh well, isn't this the purpose of my trip? x)

I spent $100 over even before I embark on my trip. Yes, it is from the PAYEASY website! The website is currently celebrating its anniversary and many brands were having special promotions and discounts. Members(ME!) were given NT30 credit to spend and for certain brands, a minimum NT300 spent gives you NT100 off. This discounts requires a set of individual codes that can only be used once. On top of that, I have NT200 worth of credits from my December (Year End Sales Promotion period) buys. It works like this, in 3 tier: NT1500 spent, you get NT150 credit. NT2000 spent, you get NT 200 credit. NT 2500 spent you get NT250 credit. So its like 10% off. I spent a little over NT2000 last December so i got NT200 credit. So even before I make my purchase, I already enjoy 'savings' of NT330 which is equivalent to around S$15!

Since the website is celebrating its anniversary, it has the 3 tier promotion credits as well. I burst the limit of NT2500 and during the trip itself, I made purchases using the wifi in my hotel again! delivery was around 2-3 working days so I could collect them before I fly off.

Here are my payeasy hual!

2. Vin Vin Hyaluronic Acid Repair Gel x 2 sets (Promotion: NT 599 for 3)

Envie De Neuf Platinum Cell White Exfoliating Gel x 2 sets (NT2000 for 2)

Etude House Collagen Eye Masks x 6, Green Tea Nose pack x 12, Black Charcoal Chin Pack x 9

Etude House was celebrating its 4th Anniversary in Taiwan so there were quite a number of promotions going on. every NT1000 spent entitles you to a NT200 credit voucher. Masks were going on a 'buy 3 free 3 promotion'. Which means it is actually 50% off plus another 20% rebate in voucher form. However the NT200 voucher can only be used on regular priced item which explains the additional 3 Chin packs that I bought at the regular price of NT30 for one.

Last but not least, My Beauty Diary Masks!

Will show more of the stuff contents when I do the product reviews! Stay tuned :)
