Review: Tony Moly’s Latte Art Cappuccino Cream In-Scrub.

Coffee on my face – best idea ever. Behold Tony Moly’s Latte Art Cappuccino Cream In-Scrub. The selling points of this product are:

1. Sold by Tony Moly, the newest Korean store in the Philippines, and thus a new place to burn credit 🙂

2. There was a picture of Song Joongki with the step-by-step on this product.

3. It is coffee skin care. How did they know I love coffee??? Best idea ever~~

4. It was sold in an actual cappuccino cup, with an actual spoon (spatula) *hugs cup*

5. The sales lady was super nice and told me the scrub works like Botox and that I look like Ha Jiwon from Secret Garden. I knew there was a bluff in there somewhere, but still I was sold.

6. Song Joongki told me to buy it.

So basically you wash your face then use the spatula to get the coffee-y face care stuff and gunk it all over your face, rub the stuff until you almost taste the coffee, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes whilst you enjoy the awesome cappuccino aroma. Rinse and pat dry. Equals awesomeness! Recommended for use 2-3 times a week.

  • Pros: Smells awesome! (can’t say it enough), scrub is fine so it won’t irritate sensitive skin and feels relaxing and soothing. Instantly after I wash it off, my face feels squeaky clean without the tight feeling, and also soft and clear.
  • Cons: None that I can think of, apart from that it costs money. But even that is a reasonable price.
  • Verdict: Will definitely repurchase. I learned from this product that masks are your best friend during awful Mondays or any other long day. It de-stresses and refreshes the skin at the same time.

I do not know yet of the botox effect. How the sales lady knew I feared skin aging was beyond me. But I’m happy to give this product a try. Mmmmm coffee~~

Random thought

I’d take being young and burdened by thoughts any day over being old yet still unable to make decisions. The wrinkles may mark your face sooner, but then you’d know they are wiser lines.
