For today I am going to do a review post about a Laneige product that is BB Cushion Whitening SPF 50 PA+++

Well, I got this for free from Laneige themselves from the BFF contest in Instagram. My best friend told me about this contest and I wanted to help her get this BB Cushion that she want for long time already. It turned out that we both won and we got 2 BB cushions each. Yes, I got two, she got two. We both were so lucky.

I never thought about using BB Cushions before, I was never interested with it because I assumed that its the same as Compact powder? Which can make my face looks cakey and looks unblend because I sweat a lot and my face is combination/oily-type.

So, this is like my first BB Cushion which is from Laneige. Yes, the first BB Cushion that I own.

As we know, Laneige is famous in Korea with their BB Cushions. They have few types of cushions which are for whitening, pore-control and for oily skin.

From what I know, these Laneige cushions worth RM150 retail? Thats what I heard from my friend recently who is Laneige user and knows a lot about Laneige products.


The packaging? What I got were different packaging which is simple and not heavy from what in stores. So I assume that this is the trial one or the mini one of the BB Cushions, because this one does not have the mirror in it. Never mind, I got 2 of them anyway and it is better when the BB Cushion is really light to bring everywhere.

The size is perfect to me, not too big and not too small, just the perfect size to be convenient and fits in my bag.

The shade what I got to choose were 21 and 23. Usually code 21 will be for people with fair skin while shade 23 more towards darker skin, so I chose shade 21 which is Beige.



Inside of the BB Cushions;

Like all other BB Cushions, they have two layers inside. First part is the unique application sponge and in the second layer is the BB Cushions.

The shades look darker but when I swatch on my hand, it looks lighter than it seems.

When applied on face, it have cool feels on it. I am not sure whether it comes from the sponge or from the BB, but I really like the feel. It feels cool and smooth. The BB also is not oily and does a lot of work on covering. Whitening? Yes, works miracle. It also stays on my face nicely without being cakey and I feel like I am not wearing anything because the light-weight textures.

This have light-medium coverage and good for natural makeup which is normal function for BB Cream. The SPF? Already satisfying because it is SPF 50+++.

As a conclusion, Laneige indeed having the best BB Cushions <3 It did not disappoint me at all for now.

I only use this to touch up my make up when outside. I rarely touch up my face, usually I will focus only on lipstick.
Now, it is my habit to bring this BB Cushion anywhere I go instead of BB Creams and beauty blender which consume a lot of space in my bag.


where have you been from my life, BB Cushions *cries*.

Thank you, Laneige! :)

Hi girls. This time I am going to do a review about my contour palette which I been using for months now. I bought this in the beginning of year 2016. This contour palette is from City Color. This brand is quite well-known in US for its cheap price with quality.

In Malaysia, we have Sendayu Tinggi Contour Palette which is almost 99 percent same. From what I knew, City Color produced this first? So Sendayu Tinggi is like the dupe of it.

Sendayu Tinggi - about RM50
City Color - about RM60

Well I was lucky to buy this for only RM30.

Well this palette consists of Contour, Bronze and Highlight. And they are all in powder formula.
The powders are pigmented and long-lasting as I always wear them for outings.

This palette is really good for beginners to learn how to contour because it have the contour guides on the palette. Well, if you always practice how to contour day by day you wont look at the guides anymore like me *wink*.

City color actually have two contour palettes (1 & 2) which for warm-toned skin and cool-toned skin.
Well mine is for Warm-toned skin. I think this palette would look good to everyone because they have average color of contour and bronze powder which they should be.


Well my review...

Contour : A bit dark but it works well for warm-skin toned. With right techniques and brushes, your face will look more 3D and more defined.

Bronze : The right color for bronze! I love the bronze so much among these three because it really gives me different feeling of wearing bronze. This can warm up your face quickly and diminish your flat face easily.

Highlight : Too white but its okay because it have shimmery effects and looks okay when already put on face. An average highlight. Be careful not to look cakey.

• Pigmented
• suitable for warm-toned /neutral-toned
• long-lasting
• small amount of use

Hi everyone! About last month I bought this Innisfree Orchid Special Kit and now I am going to do a review about this set. Basically its the trial set which i bought from a Carouseller for RM10 exclude postage. So cheap right even though it is a free gift from Innisfree, most people would sell them higher prices.

I wanted to try this set because I coincidentally looking for an eye cream. I read some good benefits and reviews on this orchid eye cream.

The packaging is so nice with purple color which is one my favorite color.

Besides, I love orchids flowers <3


They stated what includes in the set, the amount of the cream and the functions of the cream on the packaging. The functions, mainly for anti-aging that make skins more radiant and firm.



My simple honest review on these three orchid creams :

1) Orchid Enriched Cream

Enriched cream can be used as day cream as it offers a lot of benefits in one cream which your skin need daily. However, the texture is thick so it would be better if you dont apply it too much. This cream suits perfectly on dry skin as it is so moisturized.




2) Orchid Massage Cream

As stated on the packaging, this should be used as night cream. The cream does make your skin radiant and brighter when you wake up from sleep.  However, its so moisturized and thick that you might wake up with oily feels. Thus, this cream totally not suitable for oily/combination skin.




3) Orchid Eye Cream

This one is my favorite in this set. I think this eye cream suitable for all types of skin. However, this is not suitable to apply with makeup. This should be apply when you are not applying any makeup and just for a regular day at home or before going to sleep. This cream does make my under eye wrinkles reduced after a week and look more radiance with no puffy eyes. So among these orchid creams, I recommend this the most.



It is just a bit disappointing that I did not suit much with the other two day and night creams, I love the smells so much though! but I can ensure you that if you are looking product that really moisturized your face, those two creams are really good as they are perfect for people with dry skin.


As a conclusion, maybe this is not my favorite set from Innisfree compared to Jeju Volcanic set.
I want to try other sets such as green tea, mineral sparkling and aloe vera which might be suitable to combination and oily skins.


Pros :

• Perfect for dry skin
• Really moisturizing
• A small amount is enough
• THE SMELL IS ORCHID 
• Focusing on anti aging and wrinkles

I love how pigmented there are with only one light swatch. The color also stays long especially when wearing eye shadow base and primer. There are differences of color with eye primer or not. So what can I advice is to wear eye primer before eye shadow.

• Very pigmented
• Long-lasting (must wear eye primer)
• Variety of colors (not only natural colors but there also dark colors)

The powder is really pigmented and long-lasting. Just avoid rubbing it and it will stay for long time for hours especially with setting spray.
The truth is that sometimes I use my fingers sometimes if I was in rush to put it on my face and it does a good work.

The color is more to yellow mixture with white and the color is suitable to all color of skins.

• Really pigmented
• Long-lasting
• Suitable to all skin color
• Suitable to all skin type
• Affordable

Sincerely,
lots of love,

I am going to do a review about the trial set of Innisfree Jeju Volcanic that i recently bought last 2 months. I actually bought this from carousell for RM 18 exclude postage.

What made me want to try this set?

Firstly, because i just stopped using local products. I do not even want to wear them anymore after what happened to my face after using Nourain. It was nothing serious but my face hardly to occur any acnes or pimples but after using that product for two month, there were a lot of small acne around my face that were really hard to disappear from my face. So yeah, avoid the local products girls and go for natural korea/japan products or drugstores products.

Secondly, I fell in love with the store recently I went which at Sunway Pyramid. I just like how natural the products are. The way they advertised the products focusing on their natural substances such as orchids, green tea, aloe vera, jeju mineral etc. First product that i tried from Innisfree were their No Sebum powder. It is one of the good product I am going to review soon.

And lastly, because I made a research of natural substances that would be good to treat oily and combination skin. What I found is that clay, volcanic and mud are quite effective to reduce the oiliness on the face along to reduce blackheads and whiteheads.

I bought the trial set because I do not want to waste money on products that does not suit on my face at the end.

The packaging for the trial set:







The trial set consists of :



Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

I love this cleanser as it removes the oiliness on my face even when I am using this at small amount.
I really afraid of this cleanser to run out though because of its small packaging. This cleanser really gives me clean feeling after cleansing my face.






Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner

Truthfully I never found any toner that suits my face as this toner. I tried many toner before but my face ended up oily. This toner does not make my face oily at all and it absorbs perfectly into my skin. Then I applied my makeup without any problem. I noticed my uneven skin tone reduced after 2 weeks.







Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

Among the set, I like this one a lot. This could be my favorite among these three. I am a person who do not apply product for huge amount. I applied this mask once/twice a week especially when there's a day where I applied too much makeup and when I feel my skin tired of the makeup. It works for my oily/combination skin where it really reduce the oils at my T-zone. My blackheads and whiteheads on nose also came out especially on my nose even though not all of it. The pores become smaller and some disappear from my skin. So yeah, this is the product I most recommended to buy from Innisfree. After wash off the mask from my face, my face instantly become so soft and feel really clean after that.


Pros :

• Suitable for combination and oily skins
• Reduces blackheads and whiteheads
• Reduces pores
• Reduces oiliness
• Not harsh on skin
