Review: A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream | TesterKorea Beauty Tester

3. October 2018

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / SKINCARE //

I received a few items from TesterKorea within the frame of their Beauty Tester Event. This one was the only skincare related product within the bundle I received, the A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream! Tea and water sound definitely like my cup of tea XD ! This gel cream uses green tea extract and comes packed with a lot of moisture and can be used as a regular moisturizer or as a sleeping mask!

First, some information about TesterKorea: if you know me and my blog for some time you will know that TesterKorea is my favorite online retailer for larger KBeauty hauls. I’ve purchased products from them many times and they never failed me. Also, they are quite popular for offering many free samples and having a LARGE variety of samples for sale as well. If you do not know a specific product and you want to test it I can recommend you TesterKorea. Also, they have a huge amount of different products from many brands, so you can be sure to find what you are looking for in most cases. Unlike other online retailers they do not offer free shipping, though, but their shipping is based on weight. The cheap prices of the products themselves totally balances out the shipping costs in my eyes – especially for larger hauls. They even have a specific topic where you can request a product if it is newly launched. They are also quite fast in listing the latest products from most brands. Considering the fact that I know they are a reliable retailer and have a good reputation makes me even more happy that I’m part of their new Beauty Tester round-up.

A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream

A;T Fox is not the most famous KBeauty brand, but it has a good reputation and some really cute designs, too. I had 3 cupcake shaped creams back in the days of the MeMeBox craze, and I loved the tiny cute jars! The brand has a lot of products containing tea, btw!

The jar of A;T Foc Tea Toc Water Cream comes in a cardboard box. Both have a very cute design with leaves and green colors, which fit great with the key ingredient green tea. Also, look at the beautifully illustrated lid of the jar! It looks very pretty!

The ingredients of the  A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream are listed below:

Water, Isopentyldiol, Glycerin, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Allantoin, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Disodium EDTA, Benzyl Glycol, Butoxydiglycol, Raspberry Ketone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance

According to SkinCarisma, the cream is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free and silicone-free! There are also a bunch of plant-based extracts, like green tea, Centella, licorice, aloe, rosemary, and chamomile! All these plant-based extracts come with notable properties for skin care. As you might know, Licorice is good for fighting acne because of its anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, it has brightening properties. Centella has wound-healing properties and acts soothing and is one of my favorite ingredients atm (check out other products containing Centella Asiatica >>here<<). Aloe, chamomile, and allantoin all have soothing properties, too, and help with moisturizing the skin.

The A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream comes in a big jar containing 100ml of the gel-type moisturizer. It comes with a spatula for keeping the jar as hygienic as possible, which is important for big product sizes in my eyes.The gel texture feels cooling and refreshing, which I always love about products with that kind of texture. The plant-based extracts even promote this freshness and cooling effect!

The gel melts into water while applying it and has a pleasant fresh scent, that is not overpowering. It absorbs very quickly and soaks into the skin without leaving greasiness or a sticky after effect. I love the way that it feels like nothing on the skin! This makes the cream also a great sleeping mask! Usually, for daily use, I would use a good dollop of the cream to apply all over my face. When using this as a sleeping mask I simply take the double amount and apply it. It feels so refreshing! Since there is no trace or film I can imagine that the product is even great for all skin types. It may not be nourishing enough for very dehydrated skin types though who prefer heavy creams.

The A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream is a nice 2 in 1 product that can be used as a daily moisturizer, but also as a sleeping pack. It has refreshing and cooling properties and the soothing effects of the plant extracts make it great for sensitive and irritated skin types. It may be not rich enough for very dehydrated and dry skin types seeking more nourishment, but I can imagine that this is a great moisturizer for hot and humid weather. If you like lightweight moisturizers that don’t leave a film or trace and are simply absorbed you will love this!

The A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream retails for 14400Won at TesterKorea, which makes around 14 US$.

Unboxing: MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

26. August 2014

When MeMeBox released their first box named with the words “My Cute Wishlist” I knew that I have to get this box, despite the fact that I was planning to use up my current products first before buying new ones :D I was so happy about receiving this MeMeBox and I want to share my excitement about unboxing this box with you ♥ Let’s take a look inside this awesome box:

MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

MeMeBox is a box service company, offering a wide amount of different beauty boxes. Unlike most western beauty boxes which have to be subscribed for on a monthly basis, MeMeBoxes can be preordered but that doesn’t force you to buy more than the desired box. They ship to many countries and the products they send in their boxes are mainly Korean. Apart from their monthly Global Boxes like the ones I reviewed previously (check out the links at the end of the post), they also have a huge amount of themed boxes, Mini Boxes, Boxes where you know what is inside, so called Superboxes with a higher value and so on…just check out their online store and you’ll find a huge selection of different boxes. Since they have become very popular within the blogger community they sell out pretty fast, but they bring up new beauty boxes so fast, that you cannot keep up with them anyways.

The MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist contains a selection of cute products with a beautiful or special packaging. The description of the box says:

“We’ve searched and scoured through the Korean beauty scene to find you all the beauty things adorbs and irresistibly cute! From miniature beauty trinkets to cute face makeup kits and skin care potions, these precious little beauty finds will make you “oooh” because of its trademark Korean charming packaging and “aaahh” because of how cute it makes you look. Carry around these beauty treasures wherever you go and make your friends green with jealousy!”

MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

When I fell in love with asian makeup and skincare products it was mainly because of the beautiful and very girly packaging compared to western brands. This box is perfect for everybody feeling the same or having the same reason to buy products. The first thing I saw when opening the box was the product card with the description of the products inside (in English) and a sqeaking sound of joy when seeing the content:

MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

Here is the content of MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist and it is a lovely content:

1. Pure Smile Neko Punch Point Pad Hibiscus & Lemon Grass (17 ml x 2) – box contains fullsize product worth 2 US$ each

These are moisturizing and sebum controlling pads enriched with a bunch of beneficial ingredients like hyaloronic acid, vitamin E, Collagen etc. You just put them on the areas of your face which need some extra care and leave it for a couple of minutes. I didn’t try these yet but I can imagine that it looks cute having some cat paws on your face :D

2. Pure Smile  Muddy Girl (15 g) – box contains fullsize product worth 1 US$

This is a wash off type pack from mud and clay to smooth and purify your skin. It is in a heartshaped packaging and looks nice, but I didn’t try it. there were two different types which were randomly chosen for each box.

3. Beauty People Snow White Special Edition Season 2 (1.6 g x 5) – box contains fullsize product worth 54 US$

A adorable metal box conatining 5 creamtype eyeliner pencils. Each of the pencils is worth around 10 Us$ if you divide the the price among the five pencils. The color range is beautiful, because it is black, brown and gold and they contain some glitterparticles. The swatches I took were pretty long lasting despite washing my hands, so I’m looking forward to make a seperate review for this box. They also added a sharpener for the eyeliner pencils :)

4. Etude House Missing U Hand Cream (30 ml) – box contains fullsize product worth 5 US$

Finally, an Etude House product ♥ But if not in this box, where should it have been else?! :D The boxes contain randomly one of these four adorable hand creams. I received a pink dolphin with rose scented hand cream. since I love rose scent, this is exactly the perfect choice for me. There is a seal, a penguin and a panda, too. I would love to have all of these, just because of the packaging…and I would definitively reuse the packaging and transferr new handcream inside, if this one is empty :D ♥

5. Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick (2 g) – box contained fullsize product worth 5 US$

These sweet lip balm remin me of christmas because of the sugar cane shape. The boxes contain one of three different versions. I received the “Oh! Orange Candy”. It has a orange scent and taste and feels like a good every day lip balm. It has a soft tint, too.

6. Kocostar Split End Therapy (8 ml) – box contained fullsize product worth 6 US$

This is a leave-in hair treatment and it has included a dotted ribbon for tying your hair, which makes it a worthy product for this box. I will review this item, too :)

7., 8., and 9. a;t fox Whitening Capsule Cream. Lifting Cream and and Moisturizing Gel Cream (10 ml x 3) – box contained fullsize product worth 6 Us$ each

These are my favourites of the box, apart from the Etude House handcream. The three mini creams have cupcake shaped containers, each in another color. Each of these is themed with another kind of tea and has a special purpose. I cannot wait to try these and I could imagine that these are great for travelling, too.

  MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

I’m really happy about this box because it fulfills all my expectations. All the products are fullsized, which is great, and there is a nice variation in products, too. The packaging of the products is adorable and I love the Etude House Missing U hand cream and the cupcake shaped creams. The colors of the pencil eyeliners is beautiful, too. I’m really happy and I do not regret that I broke my ban and bought this box. The “My Cute Wishlist” boxes seem to sell out quite fast, because at the moment they offer the MeMeBox My Cute wishlist No.3 for 23 US$ (it is out of stock at the moment, but maybe they restock it in the next days). I preordered my box already ♥
