REVIEW | Etude House Correct & Care CC Cream Glow

There are a lot of brands that launched their own versions of CC Cream and of course my favorite Korean cosmetics brand will never lose. Etude House. CC creams are the major beauty trends today, maybe some didn't like it and some loved it, as for me, just so so. Now, I am reviewing Etude House's Correct & Care CC Cream in glow which was sent to me by KPOP TOWN a couple of weeks ago.

PRODUCT INFO:

BRAND: Etude House

NAME: Correct & Care CC Cream Glow

SHADES: #1 Silky ; #2 Glow

NET Wt: 35g

All Skin Types

MADE in KOREA

PRICE: USD13.90

WHERE to BUY: KPOP TOWN / In all Etude House Stores

♥ PACKAGING: Etude House never fails us on their cute, princessy packaging. I mean, they can make a simple color white look so girly, agree? Etude House cc cream comes in a white plastic tube, it's thin compared to their bb cream tubes. I also think that the tubes could get dirty easily. And of course, it has a pump, a friendly pump to be precise. :) All informations about the product is written in English on the back and side of the box (really helpful).

♥ SWATCH: Has a creamy and thin consistency, a bit watery but just enough to make the cream glides on smoothly on the face. Just like my Mizon cc cream, Etude House cc cream also has the self-adjusting components. It also has the same scent as Shinee bb, or if you haven't tried that yet it smells like powder with a hint of lavander. :)

♥ FINISH: This has a sheer finish, I think all cc creams do. Very lightweight and feels like your not wearing makeup at all. I don't think putting another layer on your face will give difference for the coverage but it'll only make you look like those japanesse dolls. It gives a dewy and glowy finish.


THE GOOD:
• Decent staying power (last for 5-6 hours)
• Not overwhelming scent
• Lightweight on the face
• Non-greasy
• No white-cast on flash photography
• Has 2 shads available
• Gives a dewy finish
• Moisturizes face
• Has SPF30/PA++
• Pretty packaging
• Not bulky
• Did not gave me any break outs


THE BAD:
• Not enough coverage to those who needs to conceal blemishes


Overall Rating:    4/5

Very well then, expect for a comparative review of my two cc creams ( I might have another one from Tony Moly ) and two of my favorite bb creams. :)


That's all for the review! Thanks for reading! :)

REVIEW | Re'Skin Solution Mist

PRODUCT INFO:

BRAND: Re'Skin

NAME: Solution Mist

NET Wt: 60ml

For all Skin Types

MADE in KOREA

PRICE: USD5.20

WHERE to BUY: Gmarket

 Re'Skin solution mist contains paraben. :( 

 PACKAGING: Re'Skin Solution Mist has a very simple white n' black packaging from its box to the bottle spray itself. Despite of that, I think that it is still pretty attractive. Only has 2 languages written- English & Korean - all the important informations about the product is thankfully all in English so you won't have to worry what the h*ll is in there. LOL! 

HOW TO USE:  Hold the spray 20cm away from your face with your eyes closed. Tap your face using your palms to absorb the mist onto your skin. 

You can also use facial mist before/after makeup or whenever your skin feels dry. It'll help your skin to be refreshed. Especially in this super hot weather in Philippines, mist is a must! I also recommend this put it in the fridge before using, for a much cooling sensation. Out of all the mist that I've tried, this is the only one so far that has a scent, although not that strong but for me mist shouldn't have a scent. But anyway, the smell is quite good, like a powder. So I don't pretty much mind. :)

THE GOOD:

• Gives a refreshing/cool feeling

• Doesn't remove makeup if applied with makeup on

• It gives a subtle glow, dewy finish 

• Help make-up last longer

• Decent sebum control

• Didn't break me out

• Handy - travel friendly - not light nor heavy

• Sossy packaging

THE BAD:

• A little hard to pump

• Not available locally

• Contains Paraben

What about you, what's your current facial mist? :)

A big thanks to BNTNews for sending me this product for review. Visit them on their  facebook, tumblr, and twitter.

REVIEW | iWhite Skin Whitening Vita Facial Cream

Hello pals! Oh well, I am back with a product review I got from iWhite Korea. Skin Whitening Vita Facial Cream. I intended to post this review last week so it really is overdue (but not much, lol). Plus the fact that Sophie Kinsella did distracted me for three whole days reading her novel. I've got your number. And honestly, I still can't get over it. Hahaha!  

Going back to my review, this Skin Whitening Vita Facial Cream is my buddy for three and haft consecutive weeks now, pretty long enough to finally give my opinions.

PRODUCT INFO:

BRAND: iWhite Korea

NAME: SKIN WHITENING VITA FACIAL CREAM

NET WT: 65ml

PRICE: RANGES PHP60-170

WHERE TO BUY: IN ALL YOUR LEADING DRUGSTORES NATIONWIDE

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: (from iWhite Korea)

A natural facial cream that gives you 3 benefits for a complete day time skin protection:

Whitening - Mulberry Root Extract that whitens and eliminates skin discoloration for an even-toned complexion.
Dual UV Protection – Titanium Dioxide
and Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate protect the skin from the sun’s harmful ultra-violet rays.

Make-up Base – Enriched with Vitamins A, C, E and Panax Ginseng to protect the skin from harsh environment and stress that can cause premature aging, thus ensuring you a silky smooth face.

The packaging comes in a simple white and brown plastic tube, no box but the tube where the product will come out was sealed. I'd say that the packaging is not that attractive yet still looks promising. The creams also comes out easily but remember not to put it under anything heavy coz it'll definitely burst out when you opened it, specially when it's still new and full. :)

THE VERDICT:

I am pretty impressed with this product, I mean not every beauty product has Vitamins and this one has 3 of them, Vitamin A,C & E. It also has SPF15 although quite low but for me it's good than nothing. The cream's consistency is a little watery, if i will give it a point out of five, then its 3/5 watery, not thick and also not thin. Just enough coverage for a base. The moisturizing effect is quite good too, like I said its a bit watery so it did gives a moist effect on skin. Gives an instant whitening effect but not after 5-7 hours. The scent is also nice, not overwhelming, smells like powder and lotion in one. 

I'm really not sure about its price but it'll not exceed P200, it's a steal in any way. If you are looking for affordable base to make your bb or foundation to last longer then this facial cream is your buddy! It's affordable and available in any drugstores. 

Overall Rating:    3/5

REVIEW | Celeteque Skin Relief After-Sun Gel

We Filipinos often have this swimming outing with our families & friends on summer and even not. Yeah, summer is not the only season that has a super hot weather in our country it almost as if three fourths of the year is extremely hot. Because of that, we must have this protection for our skins. Sunblocks, creams or very common to apply before we indulged ourselves to the freshness of swimming pools or beach gives. So what to apply after the long hours of exposure under the sun? Celeteque Skin Relief After-Sun gel for you!

I got this from my last haul from Sample Room last month, I think. It's really a good thing that after the package had been delivered to our doorsteps, the day after there will be a small swimming outing together with my friends. Then I thought, "Maybe I should use this Celeteque Skin Relief After-Sun gel after all". I We used it before we jump in the pool, and of course after too. :)

PRODUCT INFO:

BRAND: Celeteque DermoScience
NAME: Skin Relief After-Sun gel
NET Wt: 200ml
PRICE: Php290
WHERE to BUY: Sample Room / In any Watson's or drugstores nationwide

The packaging is quite simple yet gives off this elegant/"what a good product" vibes, if you know what I mean. ^o^ It also has all information's you'll need about the product and all in written in English. It's also hygienic because of the super secure lid. Plus, its yellow! Haha!

The gel itself is transparent and also has a water-gel texture but not sticky. It's easy to apply and spreads on smoothly on skin. There is also a cooling sensation upon application. Scent? It's aloe vera! :) although just a small hint of it but I think that that was enough not to make the user's nose hurt.


THE VERDICT:

I used this twice and enough to make a review of it since I am not the only one (my friends) who used this Celeteque Skin Relief After-Sun gel. It did gave our skin a super soft and smooth feeling even after we swam under the sun for almost 6 hours. No sunburn, no itchy feeling, no dry or flake skin or any other skin irritation that are possibly happened to our skin.

I am not saying that this could replace your sunscreens etc., but is really good if you will apply it before and after your long sun exposure. And also, it doesn't mean that because it works on us, then it'll work on you too, we have different skin conditions.


Overall Rating:    4/5

REVIEW | Virginia Olsen Short Shader & Sculpting Brush

I have this thought that makeup brushes are not that important when applying makeups. And to tell you honestly, I only have 7 brushes with me and most of them are still not used LOL. Not until I received this baby brushes from Virgina Olsen, these brushes were included on the loot they gave us for attending their 2013 Summer Collection Launch Event.  They gave us two of their 5 new brushes, the Short Shader & Sculpting brush, wanna know how these baby changes my opinion about having makeup brushes? continue reading then.

PRODUCT INFO:

BRAND: Virgina Olsen

NAME: Sculpting Brush & Short Shader brush

PRICE: Sculpting- Php450 ; Short Shader- Php300

WHERE to BUY: Virgina Olsen

THE VERDICT: 

NOTE: This is my first time doing a brush review, so please bear with me if I miss some informations/details about these brushes and feel free to ask me by commenting below. ^o^

Sculpting Brush - I have this little secret that I'd like to confess when I first saw this brush on the event "What is the use of this Sculpting brush?" I was like, OMG! should I ask them this insane question? Haha! then the moment I got home I immediately researched on how and where to use this brush. "Ohh, so this is for contouring!" Anyway, this brush is freakin' SOFT! A high quality brush indeed, and definitely worth your Php450. Does not shed hairs even if you try to pull them out or even if you washed them twice or thrice a week. I don't usually contour but for the sake of this brush, I tried it and this sculpting brush gave me the precise contour effect. 

Short Shader Brush - Most of my brushes are for eye makeups, but didn't used them often simple because my fingers are much friendlier. LOL. It has short and thin bristles that'll helps you use just the right amount of eye shadows without fall outs. And just like the sculpting brush it is also uber soft, soft and soft! I totally love it! I will soon post an EOTD using this brush. :)

Overall Rating:    5/5

A perfect 5 for these baby brushes!  It's really soft and 100% cruelty free! I might buy some of their brushes someday to add on my little brush collections! 

What about you, what are your favorite brushes? :)

REVIEW | TONY MOLY Help Me Lip Balm - Wonder Tint Balm

Lip balms plays an important role when wearing our make-ups, specially when we want to wear lipstick but are suffering from chapped lips, lip balms are there to rescue our poor lips. But now, TONY MOLY discover this new way of protecting us by means of Lip Balm. Yes~!! a lip balm, indeed to help us get away from any dangerous acts of men's today.  TONY MOLY Help me Lip Balm. It's not just your regular lip balms but it will give you protection if you're on your way home alone. I guess the names says it so itself, right? 

This was sent to me by BntNews for review purposes. And I guess you have seen this one on my previous post about my April Haul, neh? :) At first, when Joy told us about this lipblam I really didn't have any picture in my mind on how this lip balm look like. Then let's me tell you more about this wonder TONY MOLY Help me Lip Balm Wonder Tint Balm.  

PRODUCT INFO:

BRAND: TONY MOLY

NAME: Help Me Lip Balm in Wonder Tint Balm

Available in 2 colors:

#1 - Super Moisturizing

#2 Wonder Tint Balm

NET Wt: 3.2g 

PRICE: ￦8,260

MADE in KOREA

WHERE to BUY: In all TONY MOLY Stores/Boutiques

The packaging is quite simple to me, the container is pink and that makes it more girly but what really makes it special is that, it has an alarm installed in the product. The balm itself is like a jelly, I mean it's really fluffy when I touched it. It's almost as if your fingers will bounce when you touched the balm. LOL

This is what I am talking about earlier that this lip balm could be your protection in handy. 

With this  TONY MOLY Help me Lip Balm you can walk safely during night time or whenever you are alone. 

I created this video clip for your to know how this alarm works so please turn on your speakers in a medium volume. lol

Watch in HD ^o^

• When you are in emergency situation,  pull out the pin and there will be a loud siren

• Put the pin back and the siren will stop

See what I have been talking about? eh, eh? Haha! I think any bad guys will have a tantrum after hearing this siren. LOL 

There is one problem about this lip balm, the BATTERY! What if the battery runs out? How and where should I change it? The answer is; I do not know. Haha I'm very sorry but I tried my best to research about this matter. It's been my question the moment I got this lip balm, i tried to separate the balm from the packaging but it doesn't work, it was securely glued. :(( Maybe I will ask few people about this and will update you if I got any reliable answers! :D

SWATCHES:

TONY MOLY Help me Lip Balm has this soft pink tint when applied on lips. Compared to the #1 shade of this that has transparent color. The pink color depends on how many layers of lip balm you will apply. So the thicker the pinker. Haha! You can really wear this balm alone which is really perfect for your every day look. I'm loving it second to my Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink Crazy Tint Stick #02 which happens to be from BntNews too. :)

I really wanted to post an FOTD wearing this but I am just too lazy because of the hot weather >.<

THE GOOD:

• Could give protection to the owner (Siren Lip balm)

• Pretty pigmented

• Gives a lovely pink lips color

• Moisturizes lips

• Helps your lips less dry

• Makes your lips softer

• Non-greasy

• Decent staying power

• Can make your lipstick last longer

• Can also use as key chain when empty

• Affordable

THE BAD:

• When you accidentally pull out the pin and you're in the middle of class, meeting, office or any places that requires silence. LOL

• Currently not yet available in the Philippines

• I don't know how to change the battery, or even where it is locate inside the lip balm

Overall Rating:    5/5

This is the smartest lip balm I know today and I think that having this TONY MOLY Help me Lip Balm is a good idea. So you should grab one of this too! It's for your protection, anyway! :)

Once again, a big THANKS to BntNews for sending me this wonderful lip balm!
