So, Innisfree. I've heard people rave about this product for so long before they decide to finally open an outlet here in Malaysia (December, 2014)! Their store is located at Sunway Pyramid, Malaysia. How awesome is that! I was having classes on the day of their opening and thus only visited the store only 2 days after.
A little introduction on Innisfree:
Innisfree is known for their 6 free chemicals - No parabens, no artificial pigments, no animal ingredients, no mineral oil and no artificial fragrances.
Innisfree's products are all eco-friendly. From the products you apply on your face to their packaging. When I first purchased some of their products I was told to bring back empty bottles of any Innisfree products (except makeup and another thing - I'm sorry I really cannot remember) for recycling purposes in order to reduce environmental impact! Other than that, their packaging are all made of recycled cardboard. I am all for environmental friendly campaigns and what not. I try.
I will not go into Innisfree's history and all that jazz but if you're interested, you can visit their website here or their Facebook page here for more information.
Let's get into the products, shall we?
I want to talk about this first. This product was purchased in Singapore before they came to Malaysia.

| This is the Green Tea Seed Oil - Serum |
I entered the stall and asked one of the sales lady to recommend me something for my dry skin. It was very serious at that time to the point where it is impossible to have a smooth application of foundation or bb cream on my face -- Note, was. So, she introduced me to this. The Green Tea Seed Oil is an anti-oxidative oil made with Jeju green tea seeds for deep moisturization and nourishment.
I purchased this for SGD57. Which will cost around RM140 ++ in Malaysia.

| 30ml |
I have never owned a serum before in my life because these things are uber expensive! But I was very pleased to find out that this serum isn't as expensive as I thought it would be. This was purchased last year sometime in November and no, I have not finished it yet. Neither have I reached half bottle! And yes, I use this almost everyday! Probably at an average of 3-4 times a week. You only need so little.
This product really helps me achieve a smooth application of my foundation. I can't tell you how much I love it! It does not feel very oily or tacky after application. Also, there are other serums available for other skin types.
From this purchase, I received a free sample.
To add on to that, the conditioner does not help make my hair any smoother.
BUT, the hair serum is pretty good! And smells really really good.
Now, moving on to the products I purchased from Innisfree, Sunway Pyramid.

| The first one is this set" which consists of their green tea seed serum (80ml), green tea balancing toner (70ml) and green tea balancing lotion (70ml) |
You guys, this is bomb. My skin changed tremendously after using this for awhile. I can now say that I have normal skin instead of dry skin. Products that were a little dry for me works really well now. I don't get dry patches anymore! My skin is always hydrated and feels more awake. It's amazing. I cannot thank Innisfree enough. Works well and let's not forget, environmental friendly too! What's better than having good skin and saving the planet at the same time??
 |
| This set consists of their volcanic mask, pore cleaning foam and toner. |
Unfortunately, I can't comment much on this set because I have yet to try all of them. But, I am loving the mask! Not too sure about whether or not my pores have minimised because I don't have significantly large pores to tell. But, my skin always feels younger and smoother after applying this mask.

| Jeju volcanic black head out balm |
Now this is something to rave about! I was searching in the store for something around RM20-30 to reach RM120 to receive the free gift of three little cleansers (which I will talk about more later).
And I found this.
"What's this?", I asked.
"It's a blackhead balm. Rub a little on your nose or mouth area for about 5 mins to melt off all your black heads and white heads", she said.
"What nonsense. But what the heck. It's only RM25. Why not", I thought to myself.
And, to my disbelief.. This thing actually works! I've stopped using blackhead strips. From using this product time to time, I notice my blackhead slowly decreasing - not overnight please keep in mind.
You know how when you apply foundation or bb cream on your nose, you'll see several little bumps? Yeah, it reduced and yes no more. Amazing how this thing actually works! THUMBS UP!!
From here onwards are all the freebies I got from this purchase.

| 3 little samples of their cleaning foams |
I've only tried the "apple juicy deep cleansing foam" and it does what it says, deep cleansing. But I feel that it's a little drying for me so I don't use it everyday.
To sum it all up, Innisfree is the bombdiggity! If you haven't found something that works for your skin (or if you have but are keeping your options open), do consider giving Innisfree a try. I personally love it.
Also, they just launched their new line of skin care - Orchid Enriched line.
I will purchase more of their makeup products in the future as well. I've tested a few of their products in their store, and I think I might just love it as much as their skin care. Look out for posts on that soon!
UPDATE: The Green Tea Seed set and the Jeju Volcanic set is not longer available. It was their opening promotion set. However, you can purchase each products individually! Some are in bigger bottles. It's still worth it to purchase from Innisfree be cause they always have promotions and free samples!
Stay awesome, y'all!
