Review : Woorihanbang Precious Mineral BB cream

HELLO !
Today I'm going to review this BB cream from Woorihanbang. Purchased mine at KHitz Plaza at Lotte Kelapa Gading, Jakarta ONLY for 5$. And somehow, before I buy this I tried to find a review, but can't find any.. how come ._.

This BB cream has SPF 50/ PA +++ ( How great !) Whitening and anti wrinkle properties. And made in Korea.

Description : Seven into one ( SPF 50 PA+++, whitening, anti wrinkle, foundation, nutrition, skin recovery) It is BB cream that skin elasticity and complexion revision function are excellent. It contains sodium Hyaluronate, Abocado (Avocado I think) oil, Vitamin E acetate, Portulaca extract, Jojoba oil, sericite, Acetyl Hexapeptide, allantoin, It keeps your skin moist, elastic, and healthy while offers your tired skin natural treatments. ( A bit weird english, but It's okay.. since at least has english description..)

Packaging : It's in 50ml pink plastic squeeze type tube. Quite a lot of product.. for 50ml
Color : Only in 1 shade, and doesn't has any shade color on it. Looks like light beige color.
Scent  : has light scent.
Texture : Easy to apply, perfect texture.. just a bit watery.  A bit cooling on skin. 

Comment :
I'm Chinese with quite light skin tone (but not too light) and oily skin . This product  match my skin tone, just only a bit lighter than my original skin tone.. But I think it doesn't really gives healthy looking complexion since my no makeup face just looks healthier.  But it blended well with my skin tone overtime. And with only one shade available, this product might doesn't fit darker skinned people.  This gives glowy look.  Control my oil for around 2 hours.  But doesn't cover imperfection well.

Pro : 
With the original price, the price is still reasonable for 50ml product
Has SPF 50 PA +++
Comes in squeeze tube ( even though I prefer pump type)

Cons :
Only one shade available
Light coverage
Quite hard to find
Bad oil control
Glowy look*might be pro


Rating 3.5/5


Review : Maybelline baby lips in Smoothing Cherry and Energizing Orange


I’m quite a sucker for lip balm. Right now I have 5-6  lip balm/ tinted lip balm.. well pretty much I guess..
So now.. I’m going to review this baby : Maybelline baby lips in energizing orange and smoothing cherry. I got this at one of big supermarket in Jakarta for 2 $ ( Rp18,000 if I’m not mistaken)

Description : I lost the box already.. since I have purchased these for a quite long time. Sorryyy

Packaging : Comes in stick form. with cute packaging <3

Texture : Glides smoothly on my lips

Scent : Energizing orange has light sweet mandarin orange-ish scent. And smoothing cherry has stronger sweet fruit smell ( Can’t tell what kind of fruit it is, but for me it’s not cherry scent)  Doesn't has any taste

Color :  Looks transparent on lips


Comment:
For me this lip balm quite works in the beginning ( around a month) But even though it works, it doesn’t last for 8 hours or so like it claims. Maybe around 2-3 hours and I have to reapply it again. But as I used it, it lost it’s effectiveness don’t know why L
Love the smell, especially the smoothing cherry one ! <3  But I don’t really care actually.. even if the product doesn’t has any smell And also has SPF 20, Great ! 



Pros:
So CHEAP!
Has nice smell
Works well
 Has SPF 20

Cons:
Doesn’t do what it claims, 8 hours moisturizing

Rating : 4/5

Review : Nivea vitamin shake lipbalm


Hi everyone !
Today I’m going to review one of Nivea lipcare products : Nivea Vitamin Shake Cranberry & Raspberry
It costs around $2.5-$3. Actually, I already purchased this for a long time, maybe half year ago. But since I want to be more active on blog *cough ..I want to review this lipbalm J

Lost the packaging already, so can’t tell you the description. FYI I have dry lips L

Nivea vitamin shake comes in 4.8 gr products.. I think it’s pretty much all the same with other lip balm. Comes in a stick form.

Texture : Glides easily on my lips

Scent : This lip balm has berry scent, well a pretty nice one.. but not my favorite, I don’t like the scent actually. Oh, and this one also has SPF 10, another great way to protect your lips.

Color: This lip balm doesn’t has any taste. Looks transparent on lips. The product itself is in light pink and red swirl.. It's quite cute indeed :D

For me, this lip balm doesn’t really works. It does moisturize, but only for  a short time.. maybe around an hour. So, so far I’m not really  happy with the product.

Pros :
Quite cheap
Has SPF 10
Enriched with Vitamin C, B, Pro B5

Cons:
Doesn’t moisturize for a long time
I find that the scent is kind of annoying

Rating : 2/5 

Note : Have a problem with my old camera.. will try to update with the photo soon *sob sob

Thanks for reading ! <3

Review: Tonymoly lovely eyeliner pencil


Hello again. It's the first time I make review, but I'll do my best ! Now  I'm going to review 2 eyeliner from Tonymoly in black and brown ;D which I just purchased today.. FYI I have oily lid :D 

So let's go !! 

Tony moly is korean makeup brand. This eyeliner is made in Korea and all is written in korean. I got mine only for 4$ for 2 in the store (it's buy 1 get 1) I'm so lucky :D

Packaging: When you first got this, there's plastic wrapping. This eyeliner like any other eyeliner is is made by plastic material in black colour. The down side point... is that this eyeliner doesn't has the color name in English, so it might be a bit hard to differentiate the colour. But it has different colour in the top of the eyeliner so you can see which colour the eyeliner is :D

Anyway here's the swatch.. ( Sorry.. I have a problem with my camera, so I'll update with the picture later)


Texture: The black eyeliner has different texture with the brown one . Black eyeliner comes in creamy texture and glides easily, but brown colour doesn't glides as easily as the black so it's a bit harder to apply.

Color: The black colour comes in a very black colour and has some silver sparkle on it. And the brown colour comes in dark brown colour but it doesn't really show unless you press it a bit harder..( ==)  and the brown doesn't has any sparkle.

It's a pencil type eyeliner so you have to sharpen it once it's ran out or becomes flat.(and the funny thing is that I'm super confused at the first time haha stupid me ) 

Pros:
SO Affordable ! <3
Eyeliner in black is easy to apply
The brown color looks natural on eyes
Even though it smudges..but doesn't leaves me panda eyes !

Cons:
The packaging doesn't has the shade colour on it
Both of the eyeliner smudges easily
Doesn't last long on eyes
Have to sharpen it so not so travel friendly.
