[REVIEW] 3CE Glossing Waterful Foundation, Creamy Cheek Stick, Back to Baby BB and Duo Color Face Blush



I barely hold up my excitement since this is the first time I got so much 3CE in once! Thank you so much to SEPHORA for making this happen. I'm just happy by looking at it :D

You may know that Sephora carries cosmetics largely from the West but do you know that they carries Korean brands as well? Well you now know, Sephora carries 3CE makeup brand in their store! and good news is 3CE brand is now available in Sephora.my! 3CE brand might be hard to get in Malaysia but now, you can easily get it at Sephora Official Store and Sephora Online.


Visit SEPHORA to purchase all these gorgeous products!



Sorry for the mess, it's just hard to hold the dropper on the left and camera on the right hand XD




  • Ingredients : Water, titanium dioxide, Cyclopentasiloxane, phenyl Trimethicone, butylene glycol, hydrogenated Polydecene, glycerin, dimethicone, hexyl laurate, ethylhexyl olivate, niacinamide, Disteardimonium Hectorite, magnesium sulfate, mica, zinc oxide, alcohol, talc, camellia/moringa seed oil, adansonia seed extract, arvense extract, cranberry fruit extract, olive leaf extract, japonica flower extract, fructan, lauroyl lysine, hexarosinate, tribehenin, Sorbitan isostearate, calcium stearate, hydrogen dimethicone, lecithin, iron oxides.
  • There are 4 shades in total for this foundation namely Soft Beige, Natural Ivory, Milk Ivory and Nude Beige.
  • It contains SPF 15 sunblock level for UV protection.
  • The price is RM121.00 and weighted 40g.
  • The first thing that I saw the tube, I knew it's gonna be a little light for me and it turns out that it is light but not up to my ghostly expectation. Unexpectedly, it blended quite well to my skin and it brighten it up as it doesn't looks ghostly on me.
  • A partial reason is because the liquid itself is very thin and it is really easy to blend into the skin probably because the amount of oil in it. You can see how it looks glowy after I blended the liquid on my hand.
  • It doesn't have fragrance in it nor that I smell any.
  • The first time I tried to apply the liquid using the foundation brush and it looks really nice but at the same time it gives so little coverage. The second time I tried using my fingers but it turns out to settle in my pores. I think it's best if you can use the makeup sponge or air puff for better application.
  • Although the coverage is very minimal, I could say that it is buildable since it wouldn't look cakey because the amount of oil it has.
  • For oily skin like mine, I could say that it doesn't feel oily at all and I was very pleased on how it look on me. I would add up more liquid on the spots that I need to cover up.
  • One downside for anybody who had a nose just like mine where the foundation will disappear most of time, this might be not good for that.
  • Overall, I would wear this on day where my skin is all cleared up and when I don't want something heavy on face. It certainly will make anyone looks awake.







  • There are 5 duo blush sets of colors namely Peach Crush, Miss Flower, Retro Drive, Make Me Blush and Creme de Violette.
  • Peach Crush consist of two colors, bright orange and pastel pink.
  • Price : RM97.00
  • There is no scent identified.
  • I would say that the blush itself is very pigmented in color especially the orange. The above swatch is only one swatch and it clearly shown the color well on my fingers.
  • The blush is easy to work with and I usually mixed them altogether so the orange won't look to bright on me but just keep in mind not too swipe too much as the colors might turn really bright on the skin.
  • In regards to the color or depending on your use, for me the blush would last very long since I don't need much to achieve the color I wanted.
  • Overall, I like it because it doesn't make my makeup cakey and it doesn't build up with excessive powders.







  • Consist of 5 shades namely Pink Factory, Love Craft, Sweet Apricot, Candy Shop and Marry You.
  • Price ; RM97.00
  • The texture is creamy and easy to work with because it came in a stick type. This would come in handy since bringing a brush to touch up is so not like me..haha
  • The Candy Shop color is so pretty! Unlike the duo color blush, this looks more like pinky coral rather than orange.
  • It might look a little bright on the stick however after it was blended out, it turns more like pastel in color.
  • The cream itself is very easy to blend in it make me looks like I'm blushing which is nice!
  • Again, no fragrance detected or possibly a little bit but it wasn't that strong since I just identified them when I'm bringing the stick close to my nose.
  • Overall, I really love this and would recommend this to try :D






  • Ingredients : Water, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Black 2, Yellow 5, Red 33, Laureth-21, Blue 1, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natto Gum, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, denatured Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate.
  • Came in two colors, Black and Brown.
  • Amount is about 0.9ml.
  • Have a super slim brush tip that allows thin liner application.
  • Honestly I already reviewed this eyeliner before however, there's a little thing that I didn't notice previously but I do know.
  • The liner itself is leaving a tint behind after I washed up. I thought it was just me but I'm already using my oil cleanser and the tint still remains. So like normally I do is that I double cleansed and the tint is gone. 
  • I like it that the brush tip is really thin because I don't usually do thick lines so this is perfect for me.
  • Plus the color is not as pigmented on the first application-but you can always build it up and darken the line.
  • The downside this eyeliner for me is that it transfer to on top of my lid when I look up. I wish it doesn't transfer because it was a nice eyeliner since it doesn't smudge and quite waterproof too.
  • Overall, I still like the brush and the color but the color transfer is a no-no.







  • Doesn't have any shades choices so this is the only color.
  • Net weight : 30ml and priced at RM76.00
  • There is a fragrance to this BB cream and it reminds me so much of BB cream since most of them have this smell and I haven't use any BB cream for so long!
  • Unlike the foundation, this BB cream have better coverage but it is less glowy than the foundation. It is more like half-matte to me but it doesn't feel like it was drying. It covers up most of my redness in one application but I may need a little bit for dark spots.
  • Since the BB cream is on the thick side, it is a little hard to blend with fingers but I suggest using a puff instead.
  • It doesn't irritate my skin if I wear it for longer hours.
  • The good thing is that it won't disappear on my nose as fast as the foundation would be..yeayyy!
  • Feels a little heavy on the skin compared to the foundation however it's not like I feel like I was putting kilos of makeup on my skin. It just felt like "I've put something on"
  • The finish is rather ghostly for me since the color is too light for my skin. I guess I need to wait for days that my skin might look a little lighter then..
  • Overall, it has a nice coverage but it would be good if they can release more darker shades.

Thank you for reading :)

[REVIEW] Testerkorea Real Tester : NAKEUP FACE WATERKING COVER CUSHION SPF35/PA++


Hey there!

This is the third item that I'll be reviewing today as the testerkorea's first real tester. Testerkorea has been my favourite place to shop for Korean products since forever and they recently add ecargo which have made my whole waiting time reduced by 90%! They also offered tons of products from various brands so testerkorea is definitely an online shop you can trust. Plus, they also give various samples along with your order :D

 I've heard a lot about NAKEUP FACE and wanted to try this popular cushion which is said had a very good response in Korea since it was introduced :)

Before I go to to the review, these are a little details about this brand;

Brand : NAKEUP FACE
Net Weight : 15g
Production : Made in Korea
Price : 19,600 won
Where to buyHERE









It came in a mirror case which will reflects everything so taking this picture is quite challenging for me :X

The mirror is not blurred, I just haven't taken off the plastic.



So full of products!


Looks watery/glowy when swatch.



 My skin hasn't been in a good condition these last few days and it surprised me on how high the coverage is when applied on face despite the watery texture of the cream.

I'll be honest that the shade #23 is still a little light for my skin however I wanted to say that it was wearable. It doesn't make my face looks pale as ghost when I apply considerately. This cushion have those "a little goes a long way" thing.

In case you need an extra coverage, you can add more layers on top and it won't makes the finish looks cakey because of it's hydrating effect. One of the reason why the finish itself looks hydrating/glowy is probably because of the puff itself. It has more"air" to it than any other cushion puff I've used before and it is also the reason why a little of the cream goes a long way since it doesn't absorb the liquid cream into the puff or in another word, it doesn't waste the product.

It last for quite good amount of time but I'm not too sure for the "superstay 24 hours" since it does need to be reapply throughout the day (if you're wearing it for a long time).

Coverage is medium to high, depending on how much you use at a time. It does cover my redness and dark spots quite well (as you would see in the picture below). 

I didn't found any English translation for the full list of ingredients for this since all information are written in Korean but I would say that fragrance isn't strong in this one, in case you're curious about it.

Overall, it is a nice cushion if you wanted coverage and glowy finish but the downward is that the cushion is not made for someone who had a darker skin tone than shade #23


I rate this;

If you have any question, let me know :)


[REVIEW] Testerkorea Real Tester : MISSHA Lighting Tone Up Base SPF30/PA++


Hi there!

I've been chosen as the testerkorea's first real tester and they sent me three items to try in total! I'm so excited to share my experience with you for all these three products so there will be three review posts today!

As you might know, I've been testerkorea lover since forever and I always got my Korean beauty products from them since they offered affordable price which I can't get at any other shops. If you haven't try testerkorea, do your first purchase now, HERE and pssttt..they also give various samples!

These are a little details about this product;
Brand : Missha
Net Weight : 20ml
Production : Made in Korea
Colors : Mint(the one that I reviewed today), Peach and Violet.
Price : 7920 won
Where to buy : HERE




Simple and pocket size product.


It is very easy to squeeze out the products so make sure you're careful when squeezing it out.


The reason is why I chose mint (green) is that this color can cancel out any redness on the face.


I'm not sure if the difference it obvious in this picture but I can clearly see that it cancel out my redness a little bit and makes my skin looks brighter after it was blended.

The cream itself is so light that I can't even feel anything on face after it was blended. Also, I'm not too sure if they add anything mint in it coz it feels a little cool on face when I put the cream on. However it does goes away after it was blended.

It does have a little flowery fragrance to it and it does smell familiar to me but I can't remember what it is. Too bad I didn't found any full translated ingredients on the box, so, sorry for that.

Aside from cancelling and brightening my face, I also feel that this is a good base when my skin feels a little dry because this feel hydrating on the face and does make my makeup last longer.

If you would like to see the full face of me wearing this as a base makeup, lookout to the next post, Waterking Cover Cushion review :)

Overall, it's a nice base if you're looking for a hydrating base that will help to make your skin looks healthier :)
