Two of my sunscreens came in too, a Biore one to try out and the moist version of the Sunkiller I'm currently using. Idek japan and their tiny ass bottles of sunscreen.
I've included ingredient lists for every item that had an English listing - anything that didn't just gets glamor shots haha B'). I took the pictures with the light fading on a rainy day here today, so they're not the greatest on some, but whatever.
The Haul!

IMPRESSIONS
The Chaga line comes in sturdy dark brown plastic bottles with a faux wood cap - nice and natural looking, sort of an apothecary feel. Minimal bottle decoration. They both have a very faint scent that starts mildly citrusy and becomes an earthy mushroom scent; the serum is slightly more citrusy than the essence. The scent fades quickly. The serum is a pump top, and the essence comes with a travel plug so that no product spills out: simply remove and you're ready to go!

IMPRESSIONS
I bought these because I couldn't handle their cute blue presentation and the thought of sparkle water :(. I am a weak bug. The essence is in a metal container with a pump, and it sprays out a foam similar to a very light-weight shaving cream which begins to melt into a water once you rub it in. The cream is a medium weight that doesn't easily settle in the tub, and will definitely benefit from a spatula since the neck of the product is quite high. It's going to be a pain getting to the bottom of this product. The cream is sealed with a thin shrink-wrap band and has a thin slide cover inside (just throw it out, it's paperthin and will be too much of a pain to keep). Both products have what I dub as "the Innisfree smell". Kind of herby, sort of floral, a little earthy. It has a faint smell of sulphur, which is probably the onsen water - it's not off putting unless you stick your face into it and horf it up, and it dissipates quickly enough.

A'pieu Essential Source Salt Cream
IMPRESSIONS
This cream looks so luxurious, I can't handle the jar. So blobbycute. The box does not contain any product info in English, but does include a clear spatula just knocking around in it. The cream itself is white and very very thick looking, and feels a bit heavier than the Innisfree. It spreads easily despite its appearance. As far as smell goes, it just smells like generic lotion. It's nothing amazing, just a generally agreeable scent. I am pretty pumped to put this on my face, even though the product page was like "DON'T WORRY IF THE SALT BURNS YOUR SKIN IT'S OKAY."
