Review : Tony Moly Aqua Aura Serum

Hello everyone!

Moisturizing our skin is a MUST!

I keep telling myself that since I tend to forget to use my moisturizer daily (I try my best not to). Even if I have oily skin, it's still important for me to moisturize, I just have to find the product that works best for my skin.

Now, whenever I do my sideline of doing someone's makeup, I also tell my client to use moisturizer especially if his/her skin is really dry.

So anyway, right now, I use this product which I shall be posting a review about. I apply this every night and I'm really happy that this was given to me last month during the Tony Moly ATC Opening Event.

Tony Moly Aqua Aura Serum

A bottle is 50ml and is worth Php 798.00.

It is a water based moisturizer.

For more product details, here's a description from the website:

Long-lasting serum giving skin radiance as ions drink water

Fill up your skin moisture with powerful serum Prevent the formation to not be lost moisture in the skin Help absorb and circulate serum as a function of Ionized water oxygen and moisture in the skin Gives a natural glow to the skin moisture 5Free -- Paraben, Mineral oil, Fragrances (Natural Flavors added) , Benzophenon, TEA

USAGE:

By pumping 1-2 times, following skin texture and pat evenly to get absorbed.

Errr... I think the website needs more improvement with the labels... Haha!

It is housed in a cute sky blue box that contains labels with product descriptions, precautionary advices, Directions of use, and list of ingredients.

At least the box has better grammar. :P

The bottle is really pretty too!

It's quite heavy though so it's not something that I would bring in my bag. But I wouldn't bring a 50ml bottle anyway. :P

At the back of the bottle has more Korean characters which I can't read. 

But it says the weight, and the lifespan of the product which is for a year.

It is in a pump bottle which I like because it's easy to get the product out.

What worries me is when I use up most of the product and there would be no way of getting the product left in the sides of the bottle. :P

Here's what the product looks like when pumped out.

It's milky white and somewhat thick in consistency. Smells nice - I can't pinpoint what scent exactly but it's not strong enough to be annoying. :P

When you apply it on the face, it's so light and spreads easily. It feels like you're just spreading water all over your face. No sticky feeling! The product gets absorbed by the skin quickly too.

It leaves my skin feeling soft even 'til I wake up.

It doesn't irritate my skin nor give me breakouts too.

But I don't use it in the morning. Since it is a serum, it is more concentrated compared with emulsions. It can still get my face oily even if it is water based, especially when I have my makeup on.

LIKES:

Really moisturizing

Feels light on skin. No stickiness.

Gets absorbed quickly by the skin

No irritation nor breakouts

lovely packaging

Locally available

Kind of affordable

DISLIKES:

None so far

Would I buy again?

Probably, but like most of the products I review, I'm still willing to try out other products so it may take a while for me to buy the same product.

So, have you tried the Tony Moly Aqua Aura Serum yet?

How about the other items in the Aqua Aura line?

Cheers!

Tony Moly Opens in ATC (Blogger Event)

Hey dearies!

Last Monday, I went to a blogger event by Tony Moly.

It was my first time to be invited by this brand to an event which made me excited to go. I've been wanting to try out more of their products but I don't usually go to the places they have branches at.

Unfortunately for me, this new branch in Alabang Town Center wouldn't be a place I could frequent as well since I live sooooo far from it. But still, kudos to Tony Moly for the new branch and I hope you open more branches I could visit!

So anyway, in today's post, I shall share with you what happened during the event.

The store is easy to find. It's at the ground floor near an entrance (I don't know which one exactly since I don't go to ATC). The store is even next to Etude House, talk about competition. Haha. :P

Outside the store is an area for the event. There's a photo wall and booths containing the new line of products of TM and some food!

Here's their new Aqua Aura line! These are products that aim to hydrate our skin to keep it moisturized and appear radiant and bright all day!

And here are the yummy items sponsored by Tous Les Jours!

TLJ prepared macarons, cookies, muffins and pastry twists for snacks and banana milk and coffee for refreshments. The purple ones are blueberry macarons which are actually made just for this event of Tony Moly. They aren't sold in stores yet but I hope they will be because they are just heavenly!

If you want to try their products, they have branches at ATC as well, SM Southmall, SM North, and SM MoA. They will soon open in Eastwood City and Greenbelt 5! :)

Angel, the marketing officer of TM also gave us a tour of the new branch. She introduced to us the different products of Tony Moly. Here are photos of the place.

The makeover station where you get prettified while the cute guys of JYJ look at you as you undergo the transformation of getting more gorgeous!

And I just can't get over these little JYJ standees. I bet Liz would have taken that Jaejoong standee. :P

The store is very bright and organized. Quite easy to find whatever it is you need.

Though I got lost in choosing which items I want to get! There are so many to choose from and I know that TM is known well with their skincare lines! Oh what to get??

Their makeup line is also great! Especially the eyeliners! I swear I'll get their gel liners soon!

And of course, let's not forget the uber cute packaging of their products. Korean makeup packaging are just too cute to not take pictures of!

Cuteness explosion!!!

 And what about these coffee shaped jars and the egg shaped containers?! CUTE!!!

 So that's about it with the photos I took in the store. I wish I had abused the opportunity and taken more though. Haha!

I hope I could visit again soon but it's just too far away. Good thing SM Manila is just a drive away from my place. :P

 And of course, I get to take photos of me with the people of TM and fellow bloggers! Yayyy!

 With Angel, TM's Marketing Officer

(I can't do the fierce post well, LOL)

 Anita, TM's Graphic Artist

And I also took the free makeover! Here's the before and after photos

 No major change since I requested the same colors used in my initial makeup. Haha!

 With Chanel, who did my makeup!

 She really took time in taming my unruly eyebrows (which I just hide with my bangs). Haha! Thank you for your patience! :P

 And finally, a group shot with fellow bloggers! 

Meo, Me, Ina, Kath,

 Angel, Aya, Eyah, Celline

The event was fun! I finally met some of the bloggers I frequently interact with in the web! More importantly, I got an idea about the different products Tony Moly has to offer and what items I'll get next when I visit. Hihihi. ♥

And oh! I also got a goodie bag!

It contains the following:

Tony Moly Aqua Aura Serum

Trial sizes of TM Floria products

Tony Moly Milk Hand cream

CD press kit of TM

CD press kit of TLJ

 I also bought a few products for myself too!

Tony Moly Appletox

Tony Moly Latte Art Cappuccino Cream-In Scrub

and I got a TM Floria Active Peeling Gel as GWP!

So that's all for this post!
If you have items here you'd like me to review, just comment below! I'll also share more about the Aqua Aura range in a separate post so hope you could wait for it!

Cheers!
