TonyMoly Ceramide Mocchi Toner (500ml for $23 in US, $14 on eBay) 

This is probably the cheapest per 100ml toner I own. The bottle is huge, and will last ages. It has ceramides, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica -- great for normal to dry skins. Now, Laneige Cream Skin Refiner is more superior, but this one is actually a really nice product. The texture is a thicker milk one -- thicker than Laneige.

TonyMoly Floria Nutra Energy Toner (150ml for $21) 

I do like slightly thicker toners that, upon application, become liquidy, but still have a silky feel on the skin. This toner is exactly that, although, admittedly, it's not as luxurious on the skin as Laneige Cream Skin Refiner or I'm From Rice Toner. But it's still a decent product. .

TonyMoly The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Cream (60ml for €10 on eBay)

This is actually a very nice cream -- it's more watery but still a very good hydrator for daily usage. Really enjoy it. Plus, it's the cheaper alternative to the YTTP Hyaluronic Acid cream that I was talking about. Weird, however, that on the official TonyMoly site, it's $25 -- like, what?

TonyMoly Tako All-in-One Cleansing Stick ($10 for the mini size, $23 for full size)

This is the description: "the stick glides onto skin as a balm and melts into an oil to break down makeup and dissolve skin impurities and transforms into a micro bubble foam cleanser for a final cleanse". This is the reality: he is so adorable! But that's also it. If you don't wear makeup, this is probably going to be enough. However, if you do wear makeup, this stick is even worse than the one from Caolin. Unlike what it says, it barely foams. Eye makeup removal-- forget it. I recommend this product only to people who have already cleaned their face and just want a nice cute little octopus standing on a shelf.

TonyMoly Tako Pore Bubble Pore Pack (65ml for $17.50)

OMG, it's a bigger octopus! Alright, note to self, calm down. So, what is it? "This bubbling mud mask is more powerful than it may appear; it’s enriched with a marine complex of pore-tightening taurine, soothing dead sea salt and purifying black pear water, combined with charcoal powder, which draws and impurities and Rotorua mud, which absorbs excess sebum. Apply the soft mud to skin and the bubbling effect will remove black heads and whiteheads while minimising congestion, achieving cleaner, smoother and more refined skin". Rotorua mud???? Sorry, the Kiwi side of me just exploded with excitement. You see, Rotorua is a small city in New Zealand (which we sometimes call Roto-Vegas) that is known for its thermal activity and the not-so-lovely smell of rotten eggs. I used this mask more like a longer wash. The whole bubbles situation is super fun and the mask is of thick but airy texture. A very interesting product. My skin felt super clean, but not tight, afterwards.
