Don’t let the cute packaging fool ya, this mist works! This helps control the oil on my face for a few hours (total lifesaver!!!). I timed it at one point, but I stopped after 2 hours.

Review: This review is a bit overdue, but as they always say it’s better late than never. This is another Tonymoly product that does not disappoint. Luckily, I don’t have so much problems in the way of blackheads, but I’m always up for preventive measures. First off, with a lot of Tonymoly products the packaging on this product is wayyyy cute! Definitely plus points on the visual, not only is the container shaped like an egg (like the other products in their Egg Pore line), when you open up the container the product does look like an egg (except the “egg white” part is clear). The egg white part had no scent, but the yolk part had the light creamy citrus scent that is similar to the scent of the Tightening Pack or the Blackhead Out Oil Gel). In the beginning, I tried applying these separately. The egg white part feels almost like a gel toner. It’s absorbed in the skin really fast, but doesn’t leave a dry feeling. The yolk is creamy and feels like you’re applying moisturizer. When using this product, I did skip the moisturizer as the yolk was enough for me. Mixing the egg white and yolk together doesn’t really change the effects much, but it does make it convenient for application. The only downside I have is for as big as the container is, I wished it contained more product. The lid half of the egg is almost 2/3 of the entire thing. The price is not bad, though I think this is the most expensive product out of the Egg Pore line.

Review: I bought this product out of curiosity as I was browsing through Tarte’s website. The weird-looking gadget sure does get your attention! I got it for a bargain; I believe it was $18 since it was a Sale item. I don’t believe they sell it anymore, but Missha also sells one that’s around the same price. The one from Tarte came with a battery, so it was ready to use out of the package. With this tool, I used the Innisfree White Tone Up Eye Serum. I went the full 3 minutes on each side and noticed that towards the end of the 3 minutes, the area where the serum was applied did not feel as “wet” as if I’d just applied the serum with my fingers. I tried a thicker cream and that didn’t seem to work as well with the massager. The tool kept getting stuck on my skin, so I think I’m definitely sticking to serums or eye creams with thinner formulas. And overall, using the tool helped the serum give the benefits it says it’s supposed to do. However, with a lot of skin care regimen the visible effects only show with regular use. I noticed if I skipped a day or two of application, the areas under my eyes is visibly darker. The one con I have is that the sensor on the end that goes on your face is a little hard to clean. I found that wiping it with a cotton pad after every use helps keep that area as clean as I can get it. The other reviews I read and watched mentioned the time as a con, but I didn’t find that much of an issue. I just used the timer on my phone and used the tool as I watched TV.
