Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Treatment Pack Review

Wednesday, September 17, 2014
Hello everyone! How are you? Today I'm reviewing the Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Treatment Pack. You might have seen it in my Haul #3 post a while ago. I started using it then, and I'm still using it now. For the longest time, I have been a strong advocate of the Ryeo shampoo and hair care lines. I love that brand so much that I refused to try anything else in Korea. However, I received a sample of this while I was purchasing some stuff at Aritaum. After using it on a trip, I was so impressed with the result that I bought the full size item the moment I returned to Seoul.



In case you are unfamiliar with the brand Mise En Scene, it's basically a hair care brand under Amore Pacific. They sell hair dye, shampoo, treatment, and essences. Mise En Scene offers a few different variations for the hair treatment packs. I know they have one for curl that is bright pink tube and one for shine that is yellow tube.  As I know, their Perfect Repair Hair Serum is quite popular. You can find Mise En Scene at Aritaum, Olive Young, Watsons, Homeplus, E-Mart, and basically usually wherever hair products are sold in Seoul. Their prices are quite affordable.

This product is 7 000 Won (around $7 USD) but I got it on sale for 3 500 Won.


Claims
The Mise en Scene Perfect Repair line targets hair that have damaged by hair dye, hot tools, and perms. It contains seven different types of oil to nourish hair. These oils are argan oil, camellia oil, marola oil (?), olive oil, coconut oil, apricot oil, and jojoba oil. 



Directions
1. Shampoo your hair and rinse
2. Apply product to the tips of hair and leave on for 1 - 2 minutes
3. Rinse off

The Perfect Repair is in an orange tube with a black lid. The squeeze tube allows you to get every bit of product out. The treatment pack has a creamy consistency. It's runnier than I thought it would be and as a result of it's thin consistency, you can easily squeeze out too much product.



Scent
It has a very artificially sweet and slightly powdery scent. I find it overwhelming during application but after rinsing it off, it's fine.




Performance
I've been using this for five months now and so far so good! It's really easy to apply and really easy to wash out. I love how I can just rinse this out after 1- 2 minutes (I usually leave it on for up to 5 minutes). When I'm in a rush and I need instant moisture, I just pop this on.  I'm not sure what they put in this, but my hair becomes extremely smooth, soft, and silky after using this. It also feels really light and airy. There hasn't been any build up and my hair is still responding positively to it. I have dyed hair but this product doesn't strip the colors out like some other products. I usually use this once a week or once every two weeks.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask!

Thanks for dropping by!

Korean Beauty Haul #3

Monday, May 12, 2014
IHi everyone! Long time no post. Today I have a collective haul post for you. Living in Korea is great if you have control but if not - watch your wallet or stop watching YouTube and reading blogs!

I post up my hauls to give you shopping suggestions but please feel free to request a review on anything in this post!



Innisfree Mineral BB Cushion - remember in my first haul I picked up the refill? It turns out it can't fit it in the Hera case so I had to get one with the Innisfree case. I think this is now discontinued as I can't find it in the stores anymore. They've replaced it with two newer versions: Water Glow and Long Lasting. I'm tempted to give the Long Lasting version a try as Korea's humid summer is coming and I'm desperate for something that won't slide off my face.

Pure Heals Propolis 90 Ampoule - I've been seeing this product around on blogs but I couldn't find it in Korean stores until I happened by shop in Seoul Station. It was pretty affordable at 14 000Won (around $14) so I picked it up.

The Face Shop White Tree Snow Exfoliaating Foam Cleanser - I forgot my cleanser when I went to Busan and The Face Shop was having a sale so ... I bought it. The exfoliating bits are like soft sand and it smells good.


Etude House Face Conditioning Cream - I saw Bubzbeauty rave about this on her April Favorites video. I really trust her reviews so I had to this out.

Tony Moly Nutra-Energy Essence - I really love the Miracle Serum in this line but since Summer is coming soon, I wanted to try the essence.

The Face Shop Super Perfect Sun Cream SPF 50 +++ - gotta have sun cream for the sunny summer weather. I plan to be outside a lot. 

V21 Volume Brightener x 2 - I saw this on Filia's blog (mysugarcoffee.blogspot.com). She raved so highly about it that I had to get it.

Banila Co. Prime Primer Hydrating - I'm sure that most of you are familiar with Banila Co.'s famous primers. They claimed to be the #1 best selling primer in Korea last year. I'm not sure about this year as Korea's always coming out with newer and better things. I've decided to give the Hydrating version a go. So far I'm really liking it. It doesn't have that silicon feeling at all!

3CE Creamy Lipstick in #9 Kitsch Biker - this was a gift that came with a Vogue Girl magazine. It's a hot orange based red lipstick.

Tony Moly Cristal Blusher #12 Pink Heart (핑크하트) - I heard this was one of their best selling colors so I had to try it out. I've about six of these blushers and I'm pretty satisfied with the quality.

Tony Moly Perfect Eyes Gel Fit Waterproof Liner in #7 Black - I tried this out in the store and was blown away by it's durability. I've been using it everyday since I got it - super impressed.

Missha Flower Bouquet Cherry Blossom Cleansing Oil - I really enjoyed my 30ml sample of this so I got the big bottle now. Sadly, they've changed the packaging and made the entire bottle pink. I prefer the previous packaging much more. (Not in the picture).

Missha The Style Green Tea Lip & Eye Makeup Remover - no reason, just a random purchase!


Aritaum Fresh Essense Mask - these are my favorite paper masks in Korea. They had a 1 + 1 sale so I bought 18. I've already used a few.


Etude House Moistfull Super Collagen First Trial Set - this line was released recently by Etude. It comes with the Ampoule Essence, Cream, and the CC Cream. So far, I'm really enoying everything!


Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Hair Treatment - I used a sample of this during my trip. After I blew dry my hair, it was so incredibly shiney. I went out to buy it the moment I landed back in Seoul.

Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Serum - I think this is the new version of Mise En Scene Damage Serum. It was on sale for 50% of so I picked it up. I'm really looking for products to make my hair shiney these days.

Writting this post really made me realize that the amount of shopping that I do is too much. There are so many cosmetics stores in Seoul that I tend to collect a few items each day. I see the stores everywhere I go. Literally everywhere - subway stations, shopping areas, streets that it's really hard to refrain myself especially during sales. 

I hope you enjoyed my haul post and please feel free to make a review request!




Korean Cosmetics Haul: Nature Republic, The Face Shop, Innisfree

Sunday, February 2, 2014

When makeup brands have sales, it's usually around the same time. It's like a huge competition for them and it makes my wallet a whole lot lighter. So when Nature Day happened at the same time as the The Face Shop and NYX happened to be on 70% off clearance (which makes it the same price as you would get it in the States. NYX is ridicolously marked up here) I had to pick some stuff up.

Mise En Scene 3NT DARK CHOCO HELLO! BUBBLE FOAM COLOR - I've used this before.  It's really easy to use and the color goes on evenly and lasts for a long time. It comes with a color packet, container, pump, plastic gloves, plastic cape, hair mask pack, and essence oil.

2x Nature Republic Forest Garden Chamomile Cleansing Oil: This had the Get It Beauty sticker on it and the sales assistent said it is soothing for skin. I've been waiting for Nature Day to get this as I have just ran out of my Shu Uermura Ultim8.

The Face Shop Lovely me:ex blusher in #5 Pink Affair - it was just too cute to pass up. The color shows up as a slightly cool-tone pink.

Nature Republic Angel Lip Balm in #01 Peach Tint Balm and #02 Cranberry Tint Balm - What a lovely name. Nature Republic always gets me with their sweet names. I bought #2 first because it was the only color the store had. After putting it on, I got so many compliments on my lips that I went for a hunt in Myeongdong for the more natural #01 Peach Tint Balm. They leave an awesome long lasting stain on the lips and feels quite moisturizing. Simply amazing.

Nature Republic Botanical Stick Highlighter - This was a total impulse buy. I swatched it on my hands, it gave a nice glow and it blends really well.

Innisfree Melting BB Cushion Refill: I'm not sure if this will fit into my Hera Air Cushion case (it doesn't) but its worth the try. I'm tired of having cases everywhere. I've heard many good things about this BB Cushion and I can't wait to try it.

NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee - I wanted to like this color but nudes just don't go well with my fair skin at all.
