While I was away at Grad Night, my most recent order finally arrived. I ordered some stuff off Qoo10 on 27th November, and both arrived on 2nd December – pretty fast, considering they came all the way from Seoul! My Testerkorea orders tend to take 2-3 weeks to arrive in Singapore – Qxpress is tons faster I must say.
I included my Asos swing earrings since Mary passed them to me during the sleepover. Pink faux pearl swing earrings!
1. Mizon 90% Toners (3 x 210ml for $15)
There was this great 1+1+1 deal for $15 on Qoo10, sold directly by Mizon themselves, and since I was in need of a toner I decided on this set. They’re actually ￦12,150.00 on Roseroseshop each – which would add up to around $45!! Mizon’s pricing schemes really confuse me, since their products are supposedly the cheapest on RRS… Anyway, thank goodness the toners were packaged in sealed plastic – the Bulg Rose toner leaked a little inside 😮
I’ve never tried these toners before, so I selected one of each:
- Witch Hazel, for ‘Pore Tightening’
- Camomile, for ‘Skin Soothing and Moisture’
- Bulg(arian) Rose, for ‘Deep Moisture and Sensitive’

I was actually most excited for the Bulg Rose toner! I love anything remotely rose-scented – I think the only scented product I own is my rosewater spray. While they smell pretty good, I haven’t managed to try all of them yet, so I’ll post a review soon.
Mizon also packed in 2 free samples – No.1 Moist King’s Berry Mask Sheets! They actually retail for ￦2000 each.
2. Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence (3 x 50ml for $20)
I think this has been raved about more than enough online, so I won’t go into too much detail. This essence is usually compared to the SKII Facial Treatment Essence, and as such probably the Missha First Treatment Essence (I have a sample of this! I’ve yet to try it) as well. I’ll… also do a comparison of the 3 soon! Probably plus the Mizon dupe too.
My mum received a tiny 4ml sample (so cute!) of it a couple of months ago when we were shopping in the Innisfree flagship store in Ngee Ann City, and since she didn’t want it, I dumped some of it into my Missha Magic Cushion…. and then I realised I liked it. I slathered the remaining what, 1ml all over my face? and waited for results. Not sure what I expected with one use, but hey I liked it so I ordered more from Qoo10!
The essence cost me $20 for 50ml x 3, while it costs $53 for the same 150ml on innisfreeworld.com. I really love sample sized-items – they’re so much more portable, and I can keep most of the product fresh by keeping the rest away. I’d say there’s really little scent to it, as compared to many other heavily scented Innisfree products.

Yay you got the Mizon Witchhazel Toner!! I have that one, been using it for two weeks and I LOVE IT. I think it really does bring my skin to a good pH. My skin seems to be really liking it. I like the hydrating asian toners, but I was looking for a good in-between… I wanted something that would tone my face like an American astringent-style toner, but not dry it out or contain alcohol. THIS is the solution! I swipe it on my face after cleansing, morning and night, and it helps keep my skin clean and clear!
