[REVIEW] BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream Set

Hey guys!
This post have been in my draft post for a very long time. Since reviewing BB cream needs a lot of time and effort, I keep delaying doing this one because it is tiring!haha XD

Anyway, I finally made to complete the whole post today and hope you like it :)

A month back, I ordered few BB cream/ CC cream just because my current foundation showing signs of finishing up. Plus, my skin changed quite a lot these days with a lof of dry patches so KATE powderless foundation is no longer work for me since it is powder in finish which will make my make-up being cakey.

I heard a lot about BRTC products and I came across some of their BB cream. After reading much reviews and recommendations, I find that this Jasmine Water BB Cream suit sensitive skin, hydrating and had wise coverage too! So I found a list on ebay and just bought it since it is the cheapest I can found.

The order arrives two weeks later and it came in a set! I was speechless and very happy because they didn't say that the single BB cream I ordered would came in a set and with such price too! I saw a lot of other websites that sells the single BB cream with quite an expensive price. O.O

In the set, there are a full sized BB cream, a BB cleanser and a pact.

The BB Cream came in squeeze tube type which is quite handy :)

Do you see the difference? The color is too light for me :(

Note : the bb cream oxidised in the second photo.

The first thing I noticed about BRTC BB Cream is they don't have selection of shades so I had to pick up the only shade that they have which is light. I know that it will be quite light for me so I mix it with another BB cream to get my nearest skin tone color. I guess it's time they move on to add more shades since they market their products globally.

The BB cream have a slight smell which probably be the Jasmine smell?The smell isn't that strong but you still can notice the smell. It didn't bother me anyway since the smell is quite pleasant.

For the coverage, I would say that it does a great job! It is medium coverage and able to hide minor blemishes, acne scars and a bit if redness. However, to cover up the dark scars or major redness from acne, you may need a concealer help.

The texture is rich and a bit thick but it is easy to work with since the cream is easy to blend. It's a bit sticly when first applied but it will gradually adjust to the skin and makes it so smooth. I think Missha's  Perfect Cover BB cream got thicker cream type than this.

Aside than that, I actually notice some breakout on my face but I actually don't think that it is this BB cream's fault since my face is that easy to breakout coz I have an acne-prone skin. So I can't really tell you much but as far as I know, my skin looks glowy even after I removed the BB cream completely. I can see that my skin is a lot radiance than before :)

The lasting hours is great!I could say that it stays on my oily skin about 5-6 hours with the help of my make-up primer. Most BB cream will show signs of disappearing starting on my nose after a few hours but this is not. Besides, I realize that this BB cream doesn't do much of color transfer especially when I blot the oil on my skin with tissues. There are least traces of color I've seen.

The cream itself is waterproof and it is easy to remove with oil cleanser. I'm not about the other type of cleanser(etc.gel cleanser) since I never tried any BB cream cleanser other than oil cleanser from Biore and Hada Labo.

Next review is the Jasmine Water Moist Pact. I really love the 'moist' name coz most pact/ powder do cake up my make-up a lot because it is too dry.

Sorry for the dirty puff..

Left is 1 swatch and the right is 2 swatch of the powder.

At first I don't know how 'moist' work in powders..like do they have some hyaluronic acid or something?lol XD 

Anyway, I don't have much raves of this pact but I do notice that the powder is less dry than any other powder pact I ever tried. This do cake me up if I wore it too much so I keep it less or never. I liked glowy face right now and prefer of not wearing any powder coz I don't want the BB cream became too matte.

It's a nice try plus it is cute too! It came with a puff and mirror! It is so rare to see a cute powder would come along with a mirror.haha XD

Lastly is the Perfect BB Remover review. It's my first time using this type of BB cleanser and I think it does a good job!

I accidentally put a lof of BB cream in the photo which is enough for my whole face and that's what my face looks like without mixing it with other bb creams.

The color of the liquid is transparent and it is more like water than cleanser. Oh , I mean the texture :D

Only just a bit of the cleanser, I notice that it works really well to remove the BB cream better than my Biore cleansing oil. The cleanser doesn't makes my skin feels tight and it gives moisture after cleansing.

Although my oil cleanser need more amount of liquid to remove my BB cream but I still liked my oil cleanser because it removes my whiteheads too! It feels like it does deep cleansing better than this cleanser. However, both are comparable enough in terms of the results.

Other than that, this cleanser have a slight scent of lemon I guess? It's a pleasant smell I could tell :) and it doesn't bubble up when you mix it with water. :)

Finally, here is my skin looks like after applying the BB cream. The ratio of mixing is 6:2:2. You may see a bit of redness on the forehead because I don't use any concealer and only with this, almost all my imperfection have been covered including the dark circles! Wonderful isn't it?

Etude House Dear Girls Collection

Update : Read my REVIEW for the Etude House Dear Girls Tint & Lip Balm  HERE.

Aside from I'm Blooming Collection, Etude House also released a new collection of cosmetics named Dear Girls. Based on the packaging, I think it is aim towards teenagers but hell yeah, everybody can used it if you want.. XD

Dear Girls Cute Eyes Maker a.k.a Dear Girls Aegyosal Maker

Since Korean is a bit obsessed over this aegyosal thing which also means eye bags under the eyes because it  is believe to make the eyes looks larger and cuter.

Dear Girls Lip Balm

The lip balm has three version and the orange one do have glitter in them but I'm not sure about the other two.

Dear Girls Tint&Lip Balm

Since red is like the color of the year for lippies, Etude House is releasing another red tint but this time is included with this sheer lip balm along. Looks good!I want to try this :)

Dear Girls Vitcara Long&Curl Mascara

The packaging color and named remembered me to the first Etude House mascara I tried few years back that is Etude House 66 Big Eye Vitacara..

Dear Girls Be Clear Moisturiser SPF30/PA++

I love the fact that they include sunscreen in this moisturiser because I hate wearing sunscreen.

Besides, the 'Be Clear' terms used by Etude House is usually referring to oily skin/acne-prone skin type. Could this possibly be...

Dear Girls Be Clear BB Cream SPF 30/PA++

Too bad this only available in one shade OTL

Dear Girls Be Clear Pact 

Dear Girls Control Pact 

[REVIEW] Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Pact SPF50 PA+++

As I promised,here is the latest review post from me~Sorry for the delay,I got lots of an unexpected assignments + quizzes so I can't made it to post this in time.

I got this pact from Etude House Global fb event last time and as you might know,I've been wanting this pact along with Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream since its launch.The luck is with me in which I got both of them.

There are very few sites that start to sell this pact and most of them sell this with a very expensive price!So I recommend you to buy this later when Etude House exported Sun BB to selected country.

Here are some pictures for your view ^_^

#Bad camera = light exposure + blurry pic

 Pure white!

With mirror and super soft sponge!!love**love

 Beige in color.Apparently this only have one shade available.

Before applying the powder..

The writing is using my Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner~

After applying the powder.See,the coverage is very sheer~

I used to like pacts so much more than loose powder..hmm..maybe because of the loose powder texture is loose and required a powder brush to apply it on face.Pacts are always included with sponge and for me,it is much easier and faster especially when I'm in hurry ^_^

My thoughts ;

Coverage, 2/5;

One of the downside of this pact is the sheer coverage.It doesn't cover any flaws,redness or scar.I wish this pact have a bit of coverage since the Sun BB Cream is sheer to medium in coverage.

Shade, 2/5;

This pact only have one shade which isn't comparable with the Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream that have 3 shades with it.This pact may doesn't suit people with darker skin tone than Sun BB Cream shade #3.

Smell,5/5;

I could say that I love the smell so much!It has a flowery smell which you can found this smell in any Etude House pact but with stronger smell than the others which means not very strong but at the level than my sensitive nose can bear with =)

Packaging,5/5;

The packaging is very pure~I like the white theme they gave to this line because for me,it tells everything about flawless and beautiful skin.The pact itself is included with mirror and super soft sponge which is very easy to bring anywhere and it is light too~

Availability ;

According to Etude House Malaysia,this line will hit Malaysia about 2 weeks more so please wait for it!I'm sure you'll love this newest line from Etude House~

Update : I re-check with them and it seems the lines has arrived!Why don't you go and grab it now?hehe:DD

Thank you for reading!

[REVIEW]Luview Crystal Mineral Pact and Glossy Kiss Lipgloss

Hola readers!Oho..I know it's been quite sometimes since I update something(yea,almost the same sentence that came from me too..kk)

I do visit my blog daily but whenever I see the post,i goes blank..didn't know where to start first..lol

but anyway,I'm going to show you guys of what I've won for the latest Luview giveaway!You can see from the previous post,I already mention about this and the results came out that i'm the one of the winners!Jealous much??haha..please don't..there will be more giveaways from Luview soon!Keep updated with them at their facebook!

My super sweet fellow blogger,Tan Kim chooses me from all those Malaysian competitors and I'll send you my gratitude for that~..Arigato!

Oh,before that..the photos aren't good looking as the first time I got these honeys coz I already used it several times!So sorry...I forgot to take pictures before that...

 This is the compact powder,one of Luview's make-up that I personally choose instead of BB Cream since I'm no longer a BB Cream user because of some reasons..

The powder itself got two-tier which the first tier is the powder and second tier is the super smooth sponge applicator..urmm...maybe not sponge-like,its more fur-like..i like the applicator coz it is smooth but the only thing that bothers me is the line between the sponge,its hurting my face whenever it cross my face..X(

The lips gloss is good..non-sticky on lips and stays longer too!and for sure the color are nice!You can get a nude pink lip,a hot pink lip and a sweet pink lip too!it based on how much you applied each color onto your lips!Creativity gals!I know you can do it right!

Oh well,as for my pictures..ohoh..i haven't took any so maybe I'll put in in my next post!

That's all for now!See ya~~~tutu~

P/S : I got new phone and the pictures is taken from there,,not bad though..kk

[REVIEW]Maybelline Clear Smooth Compact Powder

Heyya~!What's up!I'm taking a bit of my precious time to make a blogpost today!Becoz blogging is a part of my life now which I love to do it..not because I wanna shown what I got but that's my love!

Enough with introduction and you guys surely wanted to know more about this new Maybelline powder~!Honestly,since I was young,I used compact powder so much because it never breaks me out and it is lighter too..Another reason would be that I never know that BB Cream is exist!haha..I started my first use of BB Cream when I was 18 years old!Ahah,true,it was last year which my obsess-ness to make-up start!

But I never stop using compact powder..hehe..just recently I bought this compact powder after saw my sister bought it.It gains my interest like 500% since my Etude House compact powder is nearly finish..

I took the pictures on my bed..haha..

 Yeay!It got SPF25 PA++!!Happy!!Sun protection is a must!

 Completely in English.Owh,the picture is kinda not sull there.Its says that this is non-comedogenic and gentle on skin~

 How cute the packaging was!

 I like this!Easy to use!Have sponge applicator along too!

 It is the 2 last darkest shade.Probably 2 shades darker than my skin..T_T..the lighter shades was sold out..

Look,actually the shades was okay..I think darker shade than your own skin would not weird at all but it shows more naturals in it..i'm so agree with this!

I've tried the compact already and I would say that it has good oil control since the box say that it was one of the function!10 marks for that!

It stays long for about 3 hours I think..

and lastly it was medium coverage.I have a very visible scars but this one only covers half of it but still,it lightens the scar and it become less visible!yeay!

So far,quite satisfied with this.I only will used this on night classes or super hot weather..hehe..

Thanks for reading!I will be back tomorrow or maybe tonight for another post!
