( Review ) Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream

Hi guys!  ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Today i'll talk about my currently most used BB cream from Etude House, it's Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream!

I got this BB Cream from awhile ago, and have been using it everyday.

So let's take a look!  (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream

Mine is in No.2 Light Beige

Description:

Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream promotes silky complexion and brightened look with Pearl Mineral Powder infused sheer coverage. Powerful UV protection and long lasting waterproof formula for all day outdoor protection. 

At first i want to try this BB cream because i don't have Sun Block. So i think BB Cream with a high SPF will be a good choice. Did you know that Sunlight contains UVA and UVB? UVA caused early aged skin and UVB caused sunburn and skin cancer. SPF only covered UVB protections, not UVA. so SPF alone is not enough to protect our skin, specially in Indonesia when the sun is so cruel.  (°◇°;)

So what will protect us from UVA? it's called PA ( Protection grade of UVA ). More "+" it have more good it is. It's similar with SPF, more high the number more longer it will protect us from UVB.

SPF 15 will gave us 150 minutes of sun protection, and SPF 50 gave us 500 minutes of sun protection. (❁´◡`❁)*✲ﾟ*

While PA+ provides some UVA protection and protects sensitive skin against low to medium UV radiation, PA++ provides moderate UVA protection and it offers better protection from UVA rays and can be used by people with normal skin exposed to medium UV radiation, PA+++ provides good UVA protection and it's the strongest grade of UVA protection now available. It is designed for normal skin under very strong or direct UV radiation.

This BB cream have SPF50+/PA+++, it give enough protection for a whole day. One more unique thing about this BB cream is, it has a sponge applicator that can be used for blending. But i rarely using it because i think i used up more product with it and it give a sheer coverage. So it's better to blend the BB cream with my hands.

the sponge applicator

Now let's see the swatches,

swatches on hand

Blended on the right side only

Bare Face

One layer of BB cream

Concealer and powder applied

As you can see, one layer of this BB cream already correct my skin color and covered most of my imperfection. I just need a little bit of concealer to cover up my dark circle and acne scar. The coverage is good enough that i only applied one layer, this will avoid cakey and thick makeup and give us a natural look instead. This BB cream last all day and i used it for swimming once and it stayed on my face really well! (without rubbing).

The only minus thing about this BB cream is the price is more expensive than the usual Precious Mineral BB cream, and the bottle is smaller? O_O

Pro:

- Long Lasting

- Waterproof

- Good Coverage

- Have SPF50+/PA+++

Con:

- Sponge applicator is ratter useless

- Smaller quantity

- Expensive

Have you ever tried this BB cream before?

Have a good day! ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

Hi guys! 

want to find a great circle lens for summer?

maybe this one is what you're looking for!

Fale Summer ( in grey )

Specification :

diameter 18,00mm

Base curve 8.60

water content 40%

duration : 12 month

Brand : Fale 

Origin : Korea

this is my first time trying a circle lens from Fale, the brand is still new

and besides this Summer collection, Fale also have a Winter collection with a more tone down color and with smaller diameters.

Fale summer has 5 colors, they are Summer Brown, Summer Violet, Summer Grey, Summer Blue, and Summer Green. All of it are in flower pattern and have a beautiful color. really suitable for summer looks.

Closer look at the pattern

so here is how it's look on my eyes, sorry for the slightly red eyes.

because i used it too long and my eyes becomes so tired, (using circle lens for more than 8 hours is not a good idea guys...)

without flash

with flash

as you can see, the pattern is in a flower shape! Flower's blooming on my eyes~ lol

This lens is quite big, it's 18.00 mm! but thanks god it doesn't makes me looks like alien. is there's a bigger circle lens than this? not sure...but more bigger the lens...more tired my eyes will be... it's not really comfortable anymore after 3-4 hours usage.

before and after

Last is full face photos~

Color and pattern ( 4.5/5 ):

The color is so - so, not too vibrant and not really dark. The pattern is so pretty, your eyes will take everybody attentions. The flower shape is really unique and suitable for a summer and cheerful looks.

Enlargement Effect ( 5/5 ) :

the enlargement effect is at full power because it's 18.00 mm. But for smaller eyes maybe this lens is too big and can makes you look likes alien.

Comfort ( 3/5 ) :

My eyes becomes tired and uncomfortable after 3-4 hours usage, solution drop have no effect so i don't recommend this lens for an all day long usage.

Overall ratings ( 3.5/5 ) :

This lens color is so - so but the pattern is in flower shape and so pretty for Summer, the enlargement effect is great ( 18.00 mm ), but not really comfortable to use for a long time usage. Comfortable is everything to me so i just give 3.5 ratings for this lens.

I got this lens from Softlensholic

closer look

i've got a love hate relationship with this nail foil, i really love the tiger pattern. it's so edgy and kinda cool to wear in some occasion. 

BUT! it's really hard to apply! i don't know why but i do have a trouble in applying this nail foil with a prefect finish. i got three times failed tries, but practice makes perfect right?

so here is the result on my nails, (although it's still not perfect)
