[Review] Etude House Wonder Pore Brush

Hi guys! I am so excited to review my first product review from Etude House! They do not have a store in Hawaii yet, so I am thrilled that I actually got something from their store in Korea. I am a big fan of accessories of all kinds, especially with skincare and makeup tools! I had been out of face wash sponges so I decided to purchase this wonderful tool from Etude House, the design seems cute and easy to use, so why not? 


PRO:

  • You could use any facial cleanser you wanted, and it will turn it into foams!!
  • It came with a holder, so that is convenient to store the brush after washing the face. 
  • There are tiny bristles so that really gets into the pores and deep cleans the skin. 
  • Every time after I used this brush, my skin felt really clean and it felt almost "exfoliated".
  • There are little holes on the bottom, which gives air circulation while drying the brush.


CON:

  • If you put too much cleanser on the brush, you will have an overflow of foam, which will get all over your arms!!
  • Over time of use, the bristles will not be as pointy as a new one.
Will I repurchase this?
-Yes, I would probably buy for my friends as well!!

[Review] Etude House Help My Finger Quick Dry Drop

Hey guys! I'm back here today with an Etude House review. Today's review is going to be on Etude House's Help My Finger Quick Dry Drop for drying nails. I love painting my nails but it usually takes a long time for them to dry.
Although this does not 100% dry my nails when I had multiple coats of nail polish on, it does do a pretty good job on the top layer. After a drop or two of the Quick Dry Drops, it completely dries the top layer of my nails and leaves behind a cool feeling.
Dropper for the Quick Dry Drop
I needed about one to two drops for each of my nails. After using the Quick Dry Drop, I would be able to go on with my daily routine. However, I learned the hard way that if you're too rough with your nails even after putting on the drops, it can still damage the design.  
This was a couple days after I painted my nails. As you can see, my nails are starting to grow out.
I noticed, with the size of the bottom and the number of drops it takes to dry the nails, that the Quick Dry Drops is going to last a pretty long time. I have actually used it multiple times before writing this review. Also, I've tried it on a couple of my friends and my sister too. It seems to work pretty well.

Rating: 8.5/10
Pros: able to dry the topmost layer, makes the topmost layer quite sturdy Cons: still have to be careful, does not completely dry all of the nail polish layer

Thanks for for reading and see you next time!
