[REVIEW] Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream

Hey guys! Missed me? I'm not totally dead and have been doing microblogging on instagram rather than doing one in blogger. If you still haven't followed me instagram, do so by following my account on @ashihana 

This way you'll get the fastest review posted by me. I'm so into microblogging because I find that it is in fact easier for me, no more time consuming editing and you'll get to read basically the summary of all however, those who would love clearer pictures can still read the reviews on my blog :D (although it might take time for me to do one)

Anyway, in today's post, I'll be reviewing this NEW released product by Benton Cosmetics. I was selected as one of the reviewer of the new product and they sent me one to try. I was sooo excited!

So what's GOOD about this cream?

 Benton's Cacao Moist and Mild Cream is a lightweight cream made of healthy ingredients. Having a light texture, even a generous amount of the cream does not leave the skin heavy. Cacao extracts and hyaluronic acid help to replenish dry skin, leaving it dewy and vibrant.

Cacao Extract 63% : Rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants and in minerals, Cacao Extract helps to moisturize and soften skin.

Cacao seed butter 10% : Obtained from the pressed seeds of cacao, Cacao seed butter consists of beneficial fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid. It helps to retain moisture.

Ingredients:

Theobroma Cacao Extract (Cocoa) Extract, Theorboma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Water, Sorbitan Olivate, 1,2-Hexandiol, Pentylene Glycol, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Zanthxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyglutamic Acid, Madecassioside, Beta-Glucan, Carbomer, Arginine, Xanthan Gum

Came in a tube that does not released much air. So it won't deflate even if the product is finished.

I'm about halfway of the tube now and might be finishing it sooner because I love this cream!

I would basically avoided creams that say hydration or moisture because most likely it would cause me of having milia because my skin is not good with heavy creams. However, this cream by Benton which targeted all types of skin and it's branded as "LIGHTWEIGHT" won me over.

The cream definitely very lightweight on the skin and at the same time, it gives abundant of moisture! The cream spreads very easily on skin, almost feels like watery and it absorbs well into my skin too.  Although it gives hydration to the skin, it does not feel oily at all no matter how much I applied it on and it also does not leaves any sticky feeling afterwards.

Although I was hoping that the cream would secretly have a chocolate smells in it but unfortunately it does not contain any scent to it which is a win for those who dislike fragrance in their products.

After using it for almost three weeks now, I can say that it doesn't inflamed my face nor it gives me any breakouts and it actually the opposite. I find that my redness are calmer after I applied it on and my skin does feels smoother now. I would recommend this on summer or countries like mine because it is lightweight and does not cause my oily skin any problem. If you're looking for a mild cream with great water-oil balance in it, this is definitely for you.

I would rate this:

[REVIEW] THEYUFIT MIRApack Hydrogel Mask+ Miracle Cream

Hi guys!

In the month of April-May, I was sent a package of TheYufit Mirapack which consist of a Cellulose + Hydrogel Mask and Miracle Cream. I'm initially intrigue by the statement of 3 pieces of mask that will cover the neck part which isn't usual in the sheet mask scene.

A package arrived to me about 4 days after it was sent from the USA(which the company official distributor located). It was nicely packed a sturdy box which I can't barely seen any damage on the box when it arrived.

Before going to the review, here's a little bit about TheYufit,

Yufit = You+Fit = Fit in Your Beauty, which basically means that the products will fit you (as I interpret it). They have been in the beauty industry for more than 10 years in South Korea and Colornique is the sub-brand for cosmetics. The Mayflo is the sole distributor of TheYufit in US and Canada.

Website : http://yufit.co.kr/

TheYufit Mirapack with it's Sewing Boundaries design is a cellulose + hydrgogel mask is a clinically proven benefits such as holding up moisture for 72 hours, lifting and anti-wrinkle, glow and brightening and complete refreshment. This mask is using the 5th generation of cellulose sheet which is 100% cotton and can hold up 35g ingredients contained in a single mask sheet among mask pack products from South Korea. 

Mira in Mirapack means "Mummy" in Korean is the approach of the brand that the mask sheet will give you eternity to your skin as the mummy from hundred years ago keeps their original condition.

It is actually a funny coincidental that Mira is actually my real name XD

The picture hidden in the box! I was actually surprised at first but the photo reminds me of the "after-plastic-surgery-kinda" which is probably what the mask is after - new skin.

I probably have no need to explain further regarding the ingredients, as it is all written in the pictures above.

I have taken the full-face photo but I looked so strange in it and finally decided to take a close shot than full face XD You can see the "sewing" design on the sheet and it is actually cool in real :)

This cream jar is actually a glass! Yeay~

The cream is quite thick I'd say but it doesn't sticky at all and absorbs nicely on skin :)

Came with a spatula too.

I don't want to sound so bias since this product is sponsored but honestly, this is the best mask I've ever tried so far in my life. They didn't asked me to write this and I'm basically writing this based on my own opinion.

If you're are a regular here, you probably have knew that I'm such a sucker for a nice scented product that is not smell fake nor too chemical and I would say that this mask pack smells so nice like I can still smell it after a few hours and even putting on makeup on my face. It is not overpowering but I'd say it is kind of smell that I want it to lingers around forever like I'm wearing a perfume-look how exaggerated I sound but that is the truth. I'd say the smell is a like a flowery+baby powder type, kinda? Sorry, I suck at describing smells XD

Forget the scent, the mask itself gave abundant moisture to my skin and keep it plump for hours but 72 hours as they claimed it might be a little over the top since I washed my face before the hours can even get to 72 hours like seriously who doesn't washed their face in 72 hours but go so far to wear a mask for the skin? rofl

I'd say that my skin feels like a baby after wearing the mask+cream combi and I suggest do not leave out the cream after wearing the mask since it'll give a boost of moisture to the skin. It does feel smoother after application and what's great is that it doesn't irritate my skin or my redness nor give me a breakout- that's a super plus point for acne-prone skin like mine.

The mask consists of 3 separated pieces which is the eye(top part), lip(bottom part) and under the chin(last piece). "Covering the neck" might be a little false since it doesn't even get to cover my neck. I'd say that it probably only touches a little bit of the neck or maybe none depending on where you put the last piece on. But, it doesn't bother me much coz the cream that came with the mask (the one that came with the mask sheet) is quite a lot to use at once and I can use it up to two times up to my neck.

The cream that came with the mask which is also the same cream from the glass jar originally looked a little too thick for me because I always avoided thick cream as I could since a lot of them will eventually break me out nor give me a milia under eyes but this cream don't give me that. A little of the cream goes a long way and it glides easily, more like it feels a little waxy(?) but not that it feels strange. It absorbs nicely onto the skin and even helping my makeup application goes smoothly on the skin.

If you're wondering if my makeup would eventually glides on the skin after a few hours since this is a "moisture" type of skincare and I'd say that it's not. My makeup stays on wonderfully on my skin and it doesn't glides or making it a mess instead it help on controlling oil on my face because of the moisture it hold.

Overall, I really loooooovveee this mask and I would made a purchase myself when I got the chance!

Thank you TheYufit!
