[REVIEW] Banila co Prime Primer Photo Layer Powder #Naked Peach


Hello guys! 
This review suppose to be posted back then but I always forgot it every time!haha
However, I wanna say that I've been using this since the first time I got it, which is last December if I'm not wrong. I guess this loose powder is another popular product of Banila co aside from their prime primer and clean it zero balm. I'm in love with it of course because of the packaging..:D

I had a few loose powder before and it's from Innisfree, guess you knew which it is-I had both original and blur version. To be honest I didn't powder all over my face after wearing any cushion or BB because I find it easily caked my makeup however powder are very useful to smooth the lines on top of my eyelid and under my eyes. It lessen the probability of the foundation to crease.

Here are the details of this product.

Brand : Banila co
Origin : South Korea
Product Type : Loose Powder
Color : Naked Peach
Net Weight : 12g
Where to buy : Jolse , Koreadepart , Stylekorean











There are two colors of this powder which are Naked Peach and Pale Pink. When I got the Naked Peach, I thought it would be peachy in color but it looks more like pink to me. Even through the case, it is already visible that it was pink and not peach in color. However, I don't think the color has much function to it since it won't be showing on the face but I do think it give a little tone than normal white powder.

There is no scent to this powder and I can say that the powder texture is very fine, almost similar to the Innisfree No Sebum powder. It controls oil pretty well and what's great is that it prevent crease on my eyelid! It's been some time since I've used any eyelid primer because this powder does its job. I normally will apply this onto my eyelid and under my eyes to prevent creasing. So before applying any eyeshadow or cream shadow, I would put on this powder first and it would make my eyeshadows stays on well considering I had oily eyelid.

However, the downside of this powder is that it would caked up if applied throughout the face especially on oily zones so I would avoid applying this onto my face.

The packaging is nice, it has the jagged sides for twisting but I don't like the face that there are only four holes for the powder to get out of the case and I don't think the cover can be open at all(?) coz I tried but it's not working.

Overall, there are some pros and cons but I still like the powder because it helps prevent my crease on my eyelid :)

I rate this:

Thank you for reading

A package from Stylekorean - An online Kbeauty & Kfood shop


Hey guys! This time I will be sharing a package sent to me by Stylekorean.com

As some of you might have known, Stylekorean, which is previously known as Honestskin is an online Korean beauty and food shop. You can find tons of Korean beauty brands in their shop as well as the Korean food and the shop is using USD currency. They shipped internationally and you can choose your preferred shipping company. Currently, they are accepting payments in the form of Paypal, VISA, Mastercard and amex.

I have tried purchasing with them (Honestskin) before this and they shipped your parcel promptly and full with safety bubbles inside. In fact, in this package they sent me, they tripled the safety bubbles inside which amused me so much! Your purchase is guaranteed to be safe from all that tossing in the delivery :)

So, let head on to individual products;


The first item is It's Skin Prestige Serum D'Escargot which contain the serum for face and eye serum. Ever since it arrives, I've been using this every night and love it! It smells so so good and it keep my face so moisturized! Definitely recommending this product to all types of skin :D 

Price : 24.36 USD                Product link : HERE.


The second item they sent me is Innisfree Long Wear Cushion SPF50+ PA+++. I haven't got the chance to try this yet but the packaging is really simple and lighter than any other cushion I have. I have heard a lot of positive things about this cushion and find the chance to try this and share with you guys of what I think about it :)

Price : 14.65 USD                Product link : HERE.


Third item is banila co. Primer Primer Photo Layer Power in Naked Peach. omg, just look at that packaging! As far as I know, this collection is released with Jessica as the collection model. banila co. always had this pretty packaging and their products are pretty good too! I love their Prime Primer the best! I myself haven't try this powder yet but from outside, the powder looks like pink to me and not sure how this is called peach. Maybe after it was applied to face?

Price : 15.39 USD                Product link : HERE.


Fourth item is It's Skin Power 10 Formula GF Effector. This series have a lot of types and I have tried the YE (yeast) before and it is good! I even bought the limited jumbo size for that. I'm kind of curious on how this perform on me and I hope I like it.

Price : 7.69 USD                Product link : HERE.


Fifth item is VDL Tint Bar Triple Shot. There are four colors for this tint and I got the #201 Triple Candy color. They're basically a triple color combined into a tint to create the gradient lip style as you might have seen Laneige released the similar tint to this. This tint is one of VDL Bestseller and honestly I have a high expectations to this. I've tried this once and it doesn't look like I have putting a triple color at all, must be because of my pigmented lip T_T However I planned to give it another chance later and see if it works for my lip.

Price : 8.93 USD                Product link : HERE.


Sixth item is IOPE Moistgen Special Gift Set. This is a sample sized set by IOPE and it looks like my skin gonna love it since Stylekorean have sent me a gift set similar to this before and I love it.

Price : 5.86 USD                Product link : HERE


Seventh item is Holika Holika Pig-nose Clear Blackhead. I actually thought that this product was created by including the "pig" ingredients so I never really try them before because I was afraid of that! When I saw Stylekorean offered this product, I take a look at its ingredients and gosh, they're mostly originate from plants haha. Anyway, plan to try this later to see whether it is good as I've heard about it :)

Price : 1.28 USD each              Product link : HERE.


Last items is masks from Vital Medica and MediHeal. I have tried MediHeal masks before and they're sooo nice!! I'm definitely recommend this brand to everyone :D
The Vital Medica mask is not available in the shop currently and only the Ampoule mask by MediHeal is available to be purchase as a single mask and bulk form. Link HERE.


These are samples given by Stylekorean. The left is Hair Cleansing Treatment by [not so sure brand] and the right one is Su:m37 Secret Programming Essence which is a known as a high-end brand that specializes in skincare, mostly. I don't think the hair treatment is available in the website but you can check out Ryoe brand for hair products and you can buy the sample for the Su:m37 using the link HERE.

 Overall, I'm loving the items in this package. They're just a bit of everything, makeup and skincare. I will be doing an individual review for these products later so make sure to check it out!

[REVIEW] Banila co. Prime Primer #Classic Matte


Hey guys! Sorry for the lack updates in my blog.
It's because I'm partially busy + lazy. Spending lots of time study and playing games or just be a silent reader of some beauty blogs..lol

After my friend said yesterday that I haven't post anything in my blog, makes me realize I shouldn't do that. It's because we have a three days of days off so I took the chance to write one plus it's raining here and it makes me feel happy.. :)

Anyway, today I'll be reviewing my most favorite make-up primer ever that is Banila co Prime Primer in Classic Matte. Well, this is basically isn't new to those who knows Banila co. It's been around since 2010 , I think and it was the bestseller in Korea. In 2011, this primer is crowned as the best seller in Japan which is considered a big deal. They added a lot of version since then based on the skin type/skin problem.

I look around since these past years for this but ebay just sell them too expensive! As I remembered, the first time I found this on ebay, the price is about RM89+ . I thought it was too expensive and I never tried the samples so I'm afraid it would not work as expected.

Just recently qoo10 start operating, I saw a seller selling this with quite a cheap price!They have sales going on that time and I think this is about RM39+. That's A LOT of difference from the ebay price.

However, only two types were available with the seller, which is hydrating and classic matte and it was just right because I'm targeting the classic matte ver!

 I think because it is duty free so the price is lower?

 Too bad everything is in Korean language :(

 I thought the bottle looks cheap at first..haha..

 Come in a dispenser pump which is very convenient for me.


I don't know how to describe the texture but it is somewhere milky and moist. I love the way that the primer feels so light on face and it smoothen out my skin before wearing make-up.

I had quite a lot of dry patches because of the cleanser I used but my skin is really oily. This primer is just right for me because it doesn't feel oily and it preps my skin so beautifully and cover the pores.

It smells florally but not too strong. It is just right plus I love everything that smells good!

It's white in color but it dries clear. I used this almost my entire face because every parts of my face needs primer to control the oil. As far as I used this for almost two months, I saw that the primer really helps my make-up stays longer on face and it controls my sweat too.

Since it is so hot here like almost 35C everyday, I do sweat a lot and sometimes it just bothers me because I can't even wear my make-up longer because it is easy to spoilt. The primer just help controlling the sweat but I don't really say that it clog the pores. I don't have any breakouts of using this so no worries :)

Ok what else? I don't know what to say anymore but I love everything about this primer. Needs to stock up soon coz I'm running out of it :D

Anyway, thanks for reading!

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!
