ETVOS Moisture Line

Hola Amigos!

The box looks simple but elegant

This is my very first sample from Cosmeria. It's not just a single product, but it's a starter kit! I was overwhelmed when I held my hands to this sample, a glamorous product all the way from Japan. Mineral prods here in Philippines is pricey and having the opportunity to have this set is a blessing :)

The Etvos Mineral Foundation starter kit is divided into two, base make up and skincare products.

Base make up consists of:

1. Mineral foundation SPF 30 PA ++-0.8 grams
2. Night mineral foundation-1 gram (Prescription foundation that has vitamins and can be worn to bed, also can be used as a base foundation or finishing powder)
3. Enriched silky primer-0.3 grams
4. Kabuki brush

Skincare products (Moisture line)
1. Cleansing Clear soap- 5 grams
2. Moisturizing lotion-20 ml
3. Moisturizing serum-10 ml
4. Argan oil-3 ml

For this review, I will concentrate with the skincare products. I made a seperate review of the base make up division which you will see in the next post.

I used the moisture line for 3 weeks (use it every night). At first, I was hesitant on using it because I have oily skin but then i gave it a shot. I just followed the sequence of pictures in the brandbook on how to use it because I can't read the Japanese writings (no English translation). First thing I do with my regimen is wash my face with the cleansing clear soap. Second, put moisturizing lotion all over my face. Third is to lightly massage the moisturing serum on my skin. Lastly is the Argan oil which I only dab on my pimple scars and around my eyes.

The cleansing clear soap was good in eradicating dirt, make up and oil. It lathers well and does not sting which means it is mild. No residues left. Also, it has this unnoticeable scent. At first, I thought it's odorless but when I kept on sniffing the soap, I noticed it smelled like medicinal plants or something.

My favorite product in this line is the moisturizing lotion. Colorless and has a water-like consistency that was easily absorbed on my skin. Very lightweight which I really love. The smell was just like the Cleansing clear soap, very mild. I was glad it did not irritate my sinuses (I have sinusitis)

For the moisturizing serum, it was white in color and has a thick consistency (common in serums) however when I lightly massaged it to my face, it was easily absorbed. The scent was overpowering, it nearly triggered my sinusitis but this is superb when it comes to moisturization.

Argan is believed to have anti aging properties because it is rich in antioxidants. It has a bit thick consistency (common in oils) so I just use it around my eyes and on pimple scars/blemishes. I tried it once, I placed the oil all over my face and when I woke up, I appeared very oily. Anyways, it was effective in lightening my blemishes, dark circles and dry skin around my eyes. What I like with this item is that it is made from pure, unrefined argan oil. Also its odorless and colorless.

To wrap it up, using the moisture line of Etvos gave me smooth, hydrated and glowing skin. Eventhough I have oily skin, I believe that it is still a must to moisturize to delay signs of aging. Two thumbs up :)
