Review: Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream

Hello everyone! ^^ Ugh holidays are almost over and I'll go back to school on next Monday, so it means I'll disappear from this blog and I'll take a super long hiatus, because I'll face the National Exams on next April and I'll graduate from senior high school next year. Aghh I'm not ready! I'm so nervous, afraid and depressed now!! T__T But I'll try to update this blog every weekend, hopefully. And this is my last post for this month.....
I'm going to review about my current favorite BB cream from Etude House, Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream with SPF 50+/PA+++


It comes in 3 different shades : Light Beige N02, Natural Beige W13, Sand Beige W15
And I got mine in Light Beige for IDR 155.000. Duh, I clearly picked the wrong shade because it's too light for my face! Actually I wanted the Natural one, but unfortunately they were out of stock at the time. (≧д≦)

3 Efficacies : UV protection + Whitening + Anti Wrinkle Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream promotes silky complexion and brightened look with pearl mineral powder infused sheer coverage. Powerful UV protection and long lasting waterproof formula for all day outdoor protection.

Actually I took a pic of the ingredients above with my new phone hehe, I hope you can read the ingredients clearly. (*^o^*)
The directions~

Aghh it's very small, only 35g!! ∑(ﾟДﾟ)



It comes with a sponge applicator~ It's perfect for travel and when you're in a hurry, but you should clean the sponge, and honestly I'm too lazy to clean it lol (≧▽≦)



Or you can also remove the sponge and use the BB Cream with your fingers, but you might gonna waste too much. (ﾉﾟοﾟ)ﾉ



And here's the swatch on my hand~ ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ



The result on my face~ Pardon my horrible skin >_<

Well.. it has medium coverage, and the oil control is great~! I've used this BB Cream during a flag ceremony at my school for about 1 hours in hot weather, I noticed that my face wasn't oily at all, and although I was a bit sweaty but my BB Cream doesn't fade! Woahhhh~ And my T-zone started oily after 5-6 hours later! Awesome!! (＾～＾)

Love : ✩ Medium coverage. ✩ Has SPF 50+/PA+++. ✩ Easy to blend. ✩ Waterproof and great oil control. ✩ Didn't give me any breakouts so far.

Hate :

✩ A bit pricey.

✩ Doesn't match my skin tone (it's my own fault :P).

Overall rating :✩ 4/5 :

So, have you ever tried this BB Cream? If not, then what's your favorite BB Cream? ^^
Thanks for reading, have a nice day girls!
See ya~

DIY: Honey and Sugar Lip Scrub

Hello everyone!! ^^

My upper lip is darker than my lower lip and I really hate it!!

Do you have the same problem like me?

And honestly I've never bought a lip scrub before, until now!! (yeah, as long as I can make my own lip scrub) Because for me, it's just a waste of money. (≧д≦)

So, now I'll share to you about how to make your own natural lip scrub at home.

Of course it's super easy to do, and it's very very cheap because I bet you have these 2 ingredients at your kitchen. (^o^)/

Honey & Sugar

(source)

Sugar is wonderful natural exfoliant and it's great to use especially on sensitive lips because it's very gentle.

and

Honey is a great natural moisturizer, anti-bacterial, and a traditional method for healing chapped & dry lips.

So let's get started~ ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

-----------------

Put 1 tablespoon of sugar in a mixing plate/bowl.


Then, pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey.For optional, you can also add a little of lemon/lime juice.



Mix mix mix~



Mix well until it forms a gritty paste. And you're done!



Place your lip scrub in any container that you have.For example like me, I put mine in my lens case. Of course the lens case is newww!!I don't really need it now, I bought it because I'm only interested in these pretty roses below lol (≧▽≦)


And fortunately, I can use the left case for my broken lipstick! Yay!!It's very versatile, right? ^^



-----------------

How to use this lip scrub?
Take it with a cotton swab (Q-tip) for hygienic purpose.And apply a small amount of the lip scrub to your clean fingertip.



Rub into your lips gently in a circular motion for about 2 - 3 minutes.Don't rub too hard!


Lol please skip the pic below~It smells so good, so I tried to lick my lips and of course it tastes so good. But please don't try this at home because it would dry your lips.



After that, rinse off with warm water, or you can wipe off with a tissue.But I prefer to rinse off with warm water, just do it before you take a bath in the morning.



And don't forget to apply your favorite lip balm to your lips.



Ugh sorry for different lighting in the pics above >_<

-----------------

And as you can see in the pics below, this lip scrub could lighten my dark upper lip very well. But it couldn't heal my chapped lips only with a single use. So, please repeat once / twice a week.


And you can also apply some honey on your lips before you sleep every night to have a pretty pink lips and to moisturize your dry & chapped lips. (＾ε＾)Hope this post helps you~
A massive thank you for reading this post, have a nice day girls! ^^
See ya~

Review: Etude House Skin Mal:gem Smoother

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to review about a toner called Skin Mal:gem in Smoother type from Etude House ^^


Actually, there are 6 types in this range :



Though I have an oily skin, but I chose the 'Smoother' type, not the 'Fresh' one, because I heard that this product is good for trouble prone & sensitive skin like mine. And I bought it for IDR. 159.000. (＾～＾)

[Mal:gem] - The Korean word for cleanness, clarity and pureness. Skin Malgeum hypoallergenic toners promote clean, clear and pure complexion with moisturizing and pore cleansing formulas.
Smoother - Fruit acids in green grape, exfoliate keratin on a skin clearly for keeping smooth and soft skin.

I hope you can read the directions, the caution and the ingredients above clearly~ Well.. this toner is free from paraben, mineral oil, and animal material, but unfortunately it still contains alcohol. (≧д≦)



There are several ways to use this toner. It could be use as a toner, eye mask, face mask or facial mist. (^ε^)♪


This toner comes inside a translucent plastic bottle and contains 250ml. It's big enough for me (and also for my mom lol (≧▽≦) ).






This toner is watery and colorless. It's not sticky, very easy to absorb in my skin, and it doesn't have a cooling effect like other toners. Oh it also smells so good~! (￣∀￣)


Until now, I use this product only as a toner in the evening after cleansing and before applying my night cream. Honestly, at first I used it twice a day (in the morning & evening) but I dunno why, it made my face breakout! I'm still not sure, so I stopped to use it for a few days and I tried to use it again last week only at night and thanks God, it doesn't make me breakout again now~ (^∇^)

Love : ✩ Affordable. ✩ Smells so good and not strong. ✩ Free from paraben and mineral oil. ✩ Moisturizing my face very well and gives a healthy shine.

Hate :

✩ Contains alcohol.

Overall rating :✩ 4/5 :

So, have you tried this Skin Mal:gem? If not, so what's your favorite toner now? Please share it with me ^^ Thanks for reading, have a nice day!

** PS ** Happy Independence Day, Indonesia~ and Happy Ied Mubarak for those who celebrate it, Minal Aidin wal Faidzin~

See ya~
