Etude House New Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream and Correct&Care Cream

UPDATE : Read my review for the Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream HERE 

Most of my facebook page follower must have known that I keep posting about these two things from the day that it was released..haha..Sorry, but I really care about everything that Etude House posted because it sounds promising although it's actually not always like that..

So the first product is the Season 2 Precious Mineral BB Cream called Etude House Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream SPF30/PA++

This new BB Cream is promised for blemish coverage-full coverage, long lasting and anti-darkening, anti-wrinkle and whitening which added with 16.5% pearl extract. It is paraben free, benzophene free, and artificial dyes free. Available in 3 shades, Light Beige, Natural Beige and Honey Beige which is less one shade than the Bright Fit BB Cream. The pictures is below is in English so you can know them better :D

 
 


The second product is the recent raved CC cream. CC cream supposed to mean Color Control for some other CC cream brands but Etude House focused into Correct&Care. Available in two types which are #1 Silky and #2 Glow. Etude House doesn't promote this CC cream with more coverage like other CC cream brand as CC cream supposed to be light and natural, almost like tinted moisturizer.

The original color is white but it will change to the color that suits your skin or light beige afterwards if you keep blending them. Etude House suggest that if you want better coverage, used CC cream as a base and BB cream on top of it because Etude House CC cream contains a lot of ingredients that benefit the skin.

Promised as whitening, wrinkle care and UV protection. Other than that, the CC cream is said you lighten the dark spot on the skin as it contain 8 in 1 benefits. You can scroll down there to see the benefits of this CC cream.

The price is surprisingly cheaper in Korea than what I saw in online stores so if anyone who lives in Korea currently, do grab this CC cream :D It sounds very good~

 
 
 

Any intention to buy the creams above? I think they both really make a good pair to wear daily. Besides coverage(Cotton Fit BB), the CC cream gives protection for your skin under the layer of BB Cream :D

Don't forget to enter my giveaway here!
Until April 14!

[REVIEW] Fuwarinka Rose Softcandy by Kracie

So last time I posted my haul from NattaCosme which sells a lot of Japanese product 
range from cosmetics and supplements.

So start off with the product introduction~
[Product description] Often described as beauty candy, these delicious soft chewable candies use real rose extracts to deliver an accurate flavor. Contains Collagen, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid; all ingredients that have been found beneficial for your skin. Foil re-sealable pack ensures freshness.
[Content] This package contains about 12 dual-layered soft candies.
[Weight] 32grams.







I read few reviews for this candy before this and most of them saying that the candy is overly perfume-y when you eat them but I suppose it is normal? Since I love candies so much, I thought that smell and taste is normal? It really smells like rose when I eat them and the chewy inside the candy taste really good but at the same time it might be too much for some people.

I only eat a ball for the first day and I noticed that I smells good? though originally I thought it was body soap smells but when I sniff my hands for a few times I realize that it wasn't my body soap smell. I notice that I smell sweet, not sure what was the smell but I enjoy sniffing it..lol..although it is a very slight scent.

The next day I consume about 3 balls of the candies but I notice that I didn't smell like previously..maybe my body soap smell is too overwhelming so I only notice the body soap smell.

For the improving skin side, I don't really notice anything special about my skin either..so I couldn't really tell.

Being priced RM9.90 per packet, I think it is somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed the candy as a snack but I can't really tell about the improving skin nor the body odour. Might as well try the other gum type of this candy next time.

Oh, I noticed that some other site are selling this for quite pricey, about RM28, and I think RM9.90 is way more cheaper than that. You can get them from NattaCosme.

Thank you for reading~ xoxo

Hauls @ Tokyoninki & NattaCosme

Finally, all the tests are over and no more classes! My first final paper starts next week so I want to blog as much as I can for now :D

On the last Sunday, I make some purchases from two online shops which are Tokyoninki and NattaCosme. They are basically sells a lot of Japanese beauty products including cosmetics, supplements etc.

I knew about Tokyoninki when I crossed the rakuten.com.my a week ago and I've been wanting to try a hair spray product from their shop. Plus, they currently had sales going on( including Candy Doll products which cheaper price!) so make sure you visit their website here.

For NattaCosme, I found their website about a year ago when I searched for Majolica Majorca products online. Unfortunately the eye shadows palette that I wanted were sold out at the time so I cancelled on buying anything. Just when I saw Tokyoninki, I start to remember the website again.You can visit their website here.

Apparently Tokyoninki haul got more pictures than NattaCosme because of their numerous amount of cute pamphlets that are included with my product..lol

From Tokyoninki~

I only bought that white rose hair spray and the others are just pamphlets and samples :D

They sell the LoveSoap too! If you're a Cheeserland blog reader, you must know that she posted about this soap previously~
CandyDoll products is on sale right now so better grab it fast!

The most popular F.Cup cookies also available in their website. Besides, they gave me free samples from FINE collagen. :)

That Yogurugen seems really good!I'm gonna check it out ~!

Very cute right?!Right? They gave me the Tsubasa paper doll~ hehe :D


From NattaCosme~

Actually I can get the BIORE Cleansing Oil and The Mentholatum Waterlip from Watson but I can't go anywhere right now so I bought this online besides the cheaper price :D
I saw this fuwarinka soft candy while browsing the web and it really took my attention since it is produced by a cosmetics company, Kracie. The candy supposed to make your body odour smells like rose(?) besides improves your skin :)
For the Egyptian Magic cream, I wanted to try it for so long but I'm not sure how it will works on me if I buy the full version. Most reviews said that it works for them but I still not very sure so I bought the samples to try~

Tokyoninki used Poslaju(free shipping for any order) and NattaCosme used Skynet. Both of them arrived a day after the seller sent the products to me. A good experience on trying both of their service. Just for NattaCosme, I hope they add the iPay88 selection for easier transaction so I don't have to bank in and sent they email again for the banking details. It requires much work than just directly pay on the website.

Overall, I'm very satisfied and will come back again  for sure :D

[REVIEW] Baviphat Magic Girl Brush Set

Hi, we met again! Only one Biology test need to be done tomorrow and after that, the final exams started. I know that I'm not a good person when it comes to study..I wish study is like watching an anime..haha XD

So, I took a detour for a while since Biology did makes my head all mushy inside...coz there are so many things to remember.

Anyway, I'll be reviewing this travel size brush set from Baviphat!
Do you believe that I got this for RM2 include the free shipping? You better believed me coz it's true. I was so excited when I saw this on sale with limited quantities plus I read some good reviews about the brush. It's cheap and free shipping so I bought it without a second thought.
It took me about 3 weeks before this cute pouch arrived~





They had total 4 brush in a set that comes with a cute pouch.
Since I don't have any travel size brush, I find that this is very good for travelling. The pouch and brush is small but enough for you to hold. It's very light and not bulky so I had no worries if I just slip this in my satchel.

For the brush, the bristles is surprisingly soft and not scratchy at all. Though it can't be comparable to higher brand but I still think that this set of brush is worth the buy. Besides I got this for a cheap price - not cheap but VERY CHEAP. 

The brush apply very well on my eye lid and grab quite a good amount of product. So I have no complain. This is just simply good enough for me.

I'm sure this is available locally which is at Stardust located in Fahreinheit88 in case you might want to check them out(but I'm sure it is more than pricey you could see)

Overall, I love this brush and I'm using it quite frequently even though I'm not travelling.

Thank you for reading!

[REVIEW] Etude House Hello Kitty Eau De Toilette #Sweet Fresh

Hey guys! It's been sometime, ne~ I missed writing a blog post ♥_
 I apologized for lacking of doing any reviews because I've been so busy with projects and this is the last week of class before the finals!

I've heard that the Google reader will shut down on 1st July and it will affect the Google Friend Connect(GFC) on the sidebar too. It's too bad that I think it is one of a unique feature on blogspot.

Most of fellow bloggers have started their own bloglovin', though personally I'm not much into bloglovin' coz it's just too confusing for me. I do had a bloglovin' but I don't know how to use it very well plus I can't see my own blog although I've added mine few times already..and thank you to everyone that started to follow me on bloglovin'. Most of you maybe saw my bloglovin' links on GiG coz I never posted my bloglovin' link in this blog..haha

So I actually made a new bloglovin' account using the name, Mizuchan. Surprisingly my blog did appear in this new account. So if you would like to keep following my blog, do follow me on my new bloglovin' account. The button in on the sidebar. Thank you

Anyway, today I'll be reviewing the cute Etude House perfume 
I'm so into Hello Kitty right now and I saw this on sale a month ago and bought it!
I know there are new version of this which is the cream type but since I'm not sure if it is worth it to buy that cream type(plus it pricier too) and I took this liquid type instead because both of them actually had the same ingredients and smell.

funny description up there >_<







This cutie is not as large as you saw in the picture, the width is about 3 fingers and the height is 3/4 of my pinky finger..lol..It is that small.

The ingredients are listed in the first picture, you may want to take a look.
If you're expecting me to describe the smell, well simple I put it as floral fruity..coz I'm bad as describing smell..haha..

It smells good and sit on me about 3 hours or so. However, it does not have the strong smell which is enough for you for you to sniff it alone..coz I asked my friend is she smells anything after I put on a few drops on me(well, not few, a lot of drops..lol) and she says not..or maybe something wrong with her nose..haha..

I got this as cheap as RM13 at that time and maybe increased again at the moment.


p/s : for my samples giveaway, I'll try to post it as soon as possible within this week coz I just added more of it for the giveaway~

Thank you for reading~

Banila co. 2013 Spring Collection ~ Floral Waltz


Hi guys! 
I just finished my last presentation a while ago and I'm too excited right now so I wanted to make a blog post about the most recent cosmetics line launched by banila co. for spring! The first time I saw the cover, I was like..omg, that packaging!lol

Unlike Etude House, the price range for banila co. is rather high considering the great quality of the products.  I've been targeting this brand for a while now and every time I wanted to splurge for this brand, I must think a lot of times before buying since the price is not cheap at all..haha xD (but thanks to Korea Cosmetics, I finally tried their lipstick about last 2 years and I made the review here)

Few weeks ago I finally bought something from this line that is the No.1 primer in Japan, Primer Primer for base make-up. Although this is a Korean brand but somehow they were very popular in Japan.( Gonna review that soon!)

So here is the full collection(hopefully) that I found for this collection~ :D

Lip Gloss
#1 Orlando Berry Floral Waltz Lip Plump Premiere in Max 

#2 Orlando Berry Floral Waltz Lip Plump Premiere in Envy 

Color Change Tint 

#1 Floral Waltz Color Change Tint in Marigold


#2 Floral Waltz Color Change Tint in Green Iris
#3 Floral Waltz Color Change Tint in Calendula


#4 Floral Waltz Color Change Tint in Poppy Rose


Eyeshadows
#1 Floral Waltz Shadow Palette in Amaryllis
#2 Floral Waltz Shadow Palette in Dahlia


Blushers
#1 Floral Waltz Dome Blusher in Peony


#2 Floral Waltz Dome Blusher in Lilac
p/s : They also released a CC cream base earlier this year and I already checked the price, it's about RM100+ per CC cream..and right away after it was released, the CC cream base became the best seller!




What do you think?
