REVIEW: Lioele Super Gold Snail BB Cream!

Finally, the weekend is here. Going to relax for a change at home & take care of some things that need to be done. Getting ready for an extra special event for my grandmother, me & my mother will get our hands & feet done. I think I wanna go in my lazy clothes, lol.

So, I got this a few days ago. I've actually been using a couple sample packets of this that I got from Beauteque, which is the same store I purchased this from. I instantly fell in love with this BB cream. It just might be a HOLY GRAIL product.

Let's get into the review!

REVIEW: Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion & XOXO Minnie Any Cushion Case! [ LONG POST ]

Hello darlings! This post was going to happen.. :D. With the announcement of the current giveaway, you know the main prize is Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion. It's only right I do a review on this product before the giveaway ends. I've only had this product for about a week or so, & I'm head over heals for it. I think I love it just as much as I love my Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream...

Maybe more...

As you can see, I didn't actually buy the original Any Cushion Case. Can you tell why? THE MINNIE MOUSE ANY CUSHION CASE WAS TOO CUTE TO PASS UP! I just made the decision to purchase the refill to accompany the case. I don't regret a thing!

Let's start with the Any Cushion Refill!

The refill comes in a white, plastic packaging. It's super pretty, with silver accents.

[ DESCRIPTION ]

Etude House

Precious Mineral Any Cushion 

SPF50+/PA+++

Light Beige N02

This cushions pack perfects all-day radiant and moist skin with it's multi-function of brightening, wrinkle reducing, sebum control, and flawless coverage.

[ DIRECTIONS ]

Pick up certain amount of contents with puff and spread evenly by lightly patting onto the skin.

[ CAUTION ]

1. Use only as directed.

2. Avoid storing in high and low temperatures ans areas exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Cease use if problem arise.

Check out that SPF50, darlings. Sun protection at it's finest!

The Any Cushion refill comes with a puff. I was so worried it wouldn't come with one, so I ended up e-mailing the website I purchased the set from & luckily, it came with one! Yay!

I'm over the moon for this. The puff has it's own, personal space to be put instead of on top of the Any Cushion. I love that about this product. It's super sturdy as well. And the cushion has a seal on it to preserve it's freshness.

Cute little cushiony sponge that holds the BB cream in. I haven't experience any spillage while having it tucked away in my purse. 

I find the consistency of this cream is much more liquid than other BB creams I've used. It's very easy to spread with the help of the puff. The cream has a very fresh, floral scent. It fades rather quickly.

This time, I took some face shots with the Any Cushion on.

As you can see, it does a pretty good job of covering the redness on my cheeks. It's light coverage, but it covers well enough that I don't worry about my redness showing. I also find that I don't have to really reapply this Any Cushion unless I am planning to go someplace & I feel the urge to touch up in my T-zone.

Before I get onto the ratings, let show off this adorable Minne Any Cushion Case!

A D O R A B L E PACKAGING. Etude House... STAP IT.

I'm lying, I love this. I love Disney & Minnie Mouse so much.

I seriously have a special place in my heart for Disney. It's what my childhood consisted of. I even have a special place in my heart for the Kingdom Hearts series... <3

If you love Disney, you'll love this compact!

REVIEW: It's Skin Babyface BB Cream!

Hello darlings. I'm late at another post again, please forgive me. I contemplated on whether or not I should post something since I've been so busy this past week & decided I had some free time to post. Moving is taking the life out of me & I cannot wait until I'm completely done. If I don't get a chance to post Friday, you'll know why! :P

This Babyface line is absolutely adorable! I'm slowly collecting all of them, at least I would like to! This is the BB cream from It's Skin's Babyface line. It was fairly affordable on Testerkorea.com & I'm always looking for awesome BB creams to try out so I settled on getting this one. The packaging, as adorable as you can see. This also comes with the little winged plastic packaging like the One-Step Base had [ x ].

The back of the packaging doesn't have any directions or a description, so I pulled one from Testerkorea.com.

[ DESCRIPTION ]

Babyface BB Cream 

UV SPF 36 PA ++

Helps to maintain clear skin naturally covers blemishes to give, not a long time Dark Ning. [ what? ]

UV A and UV B SPF36 PA ++

Angel Steere good extract contains skin softening effect moisturizing grant safflower extract on the skin and softens the skin shows.

[ The translation they did was quite rough, LOL ]

[ HOW TO USE ]

Contents taken a good amount, it will spread by hand or puff or brush.

I love when I get products that come sealed like this!

There are a selection of two types of BB creams you can choose in this form: Moisture & Silky. I ended up choosing the Silky option. 

This BB cream is much thicker than other BB creams I've used. Coverage is light to medium, but buildable. I'm sure with one more coat, you can achieve full coverage. I first applied this with a brush & the cream didn't spread as evenly & as easily as applying it with my fingers. Cream applies smooth as well. Easy to blend. It also settles very fast & doesn't smudge when I happen to touch my face. 

However, there is less product that I had imagined. There is a lot of air in the container.

Overall, I'm highly pleased with this product, but the fact that there is a lot of air in the container definitely makes me feel a little annoyed. If I would have paid full price, I kind of would have felt cheated. I still will use this BB cream when I feel like switching up! Giving this a 4/5!

REVIEW: Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream!

Good morning ^-^ ! It seems to be Monday again. My four day weekend slipped from right under me! But I enjoyed being able to sleep as much as my toddler allowed me to.

Today I'm reviewing the Holika Holika Auqa Petit Jelly BB Cream. I heard a lot of hype about this BB cream especially for summer, since it's mainly composed of water. I've never had a BB cream made up of mostly water at all, but I must say, it's really wonderful.

I'm in the shade 02 Natural Beige

It comes with a sponge, but I opt for using my hands since sponges do absorb most of the product.

Top of the bottle.

[ DESCRIPTION ON BOX ]
NOT PICTURED

 SPF 20 PA ++

[ UV Protection Sun Care Cosmetic ]

Fully water-charged Aqua Petite Jelly!

A look inside of the container.

" Jelly BB makes moist and bouncy jelly skin. Has jelly texture that helps spread evenly and creates fully hydrated and shiny skin. It is also perfect for covering up facial blemishes. Mint water hydrates facial skin, and marine jelly complex makes soft and bouncy skin. "

A close-up of the product on the attached spatula.

 [ HOW TO USE ] Take an appropriate amount with spatula and evenly spread onto facial skin by patting gently with its puff enclosed inside.

 You get 40ml of product.

I ordered this off of an eBay seller for roughly $13.00 ( cosmeticmarket2012 ).

A dot of the BB cream on my hand. ( slant face scar never seems to approve )

Partially blended. Blends very smoothly. Feels almost like water.

Product completely blended. Very light coverage, but still seems to cover my hyperpigmintation rather well.

What I like most about this BB cream is it's water content. 80% of it is water, which really works for the summer, since regular foundations are much too heavy & would easily melt off undr the summer heat. Marine Jelly is even included in the BB cream, as it protects the skin from losing moisture. It was orginally formulated for baby skin.

 The smell vaguely reminds me of Tresemme hair products. I absolutely LOVE that smell as it actually reminds me of past events in my life when I was younger. I've used Tresemme a lot so this smell doesn't bother me in the least. I can also slightly smell the SPF in there as well, but both smells do not linger on my skin once applied.

I must say, my skin feels amazingly soft & hydrated when I use this BB cream. The packaging is very cute & vibrant. It comes in a glass jar that has a good weight to it. Pretty fancy if you ask me. I'm a sucker for fancy packaging. The spatula is pretty cool as well. Very hygenic.

My only concern is how easily this comes off. I can lightly touch my face & the BB cream is on my fingers. I'm not sure if maybe I'm applying this wrong or not, but that is LITERALLY the only thing I can find wrong with this product & it doesn't happen all the time. It gives my face great coverage & it's wonderful at hydrating my skin during the summer months.

Overall, I throughly enjoy this BB cream & constantly flip flop between this & my Etude House BB cream. I don't find myself running out of this anytime soon, so I'm unsure if I will have to repurchase any time soon. I will if I run out!

 4.5/5 due to the fact that it sometimes rubs off easily.

 I hope you've enjoyed this review. Have a wonderful Monday ( I know, it can be hard )

Have a great day, have an even better one tomorrow!

[ JUST TOUCHING BASE, THIS POST GAVE ME A LOT OF TROUBLE, SO IF IT LOOKS OFF I AM TERRIBLY SORRY ^_^; ]

REVIEW: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! & a happy morning as well. ^-^ How will you be spending your Independence Day? Me... I haven't even decided yet to tell you the truth, but I'll figure it out! huehue, anyway, let's start on my complete review of Etude House's Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit. :D

Let me be completely honest with you, I had no idea as to why I bought this except for the fact that I heard many great reviews about this. Before rediscovering BB creams, I was using an Amazonian clay foundation made by the brand Tarte. It was alright, but it didn't quite give me the look I was going for.

Front view of packaging.

Back view. In Korean.

I merely bought this on a whim, hoping it would be something I could love... & I do. I love this BB cream. I love everything it does. I love the finish it gives my face. Youthful & bright & supple. It's just amazing to say the least.

It has 3 efficacies - UV Protection ( SPF 30 / PA ++ ), Whitening, & Anti-Wrinkle.

Precious Mineral BB Cream promotes silky complections with peark infused sheer coverage. Containsadenosine & arbutin for anti-wrinkle & whitening efficacies. SPF for UV protection.

[ DIRECTIONS ] Apple Cream to all areas of the face. Pat to finish.

[ CAUTION ] For external use only. Avoud contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue if signs of irritation and/or rash appear.

You get 60g of product.

What caught me the most about the ingreidents is that it has pearl extract in it, which really gives my face that youthful glow I love. With this partucular BB cream, I don't have to use a highlighter on the high points of my cheeks. A really great touch if you wake up late for work & are in a rush.. *coughcough* me.

Close view of the pump.

I love how the packaging of the product looks & I especially love the pump that the product comes out of. Extremely hygenic! I don't find it to be too bulky, but I don't really travel with my BB creams unless I have to, otherwise, they have a special spot on my vanity. :)

A bit of the BB Cream on my hand. ( you can see my slant face scar here )

Slightly blended.

Completely blended.

I don't have one negative thing to say about this product. Not at all.. I am over the moon with this BB cream. I just think Etude House KNOWS what they're doing. I'm hesitant to try the Cotton Fit one they have been advertizing as well. I would assume by the name, it would be more matte than Bright Fit.

Definitely a 5/5 for this BB cream. Works well with my face color & gives me the glow I'm looking for without taking forever in the morning to get ready.

Etude House may be my new favorite Korean cosmetics brand...

I have to keep telling myself to limit my spending... cute... packaging... ^_^;

Hope you have enjoyed this review!

Have a wonderful day. Have an even better one tomorrow!
Have an amazing 4th of July!
