( 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?

please tell me on the comment section below~ 

Have a good day! ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

( Review ) Fale Summer Grey

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

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

How to use:

- Use 2-3 pea-sized drops of Shrink and Tighten onto your palm.

The texture of this serum is quite runny with clear color, the formula is really light weight and absorbed quickly onto my skin and have a matte finish, so i can use it before doing my makeup. （*´▽｀*）

Serum texture

This serum have a slight cooling effect and it's really refreshing, the scent is a little but chemical but not anything that really strong.

( REview ) coco eye Lavender in Red Wine

Hi guys! today i'll reviewing circle lens again *hope you guys don't get bored  (°◇°;)

i got a lot of circle lens that i haven't review yet, so bear with me guys~

ヽ(;^o^ヽ)

My sponsor Softlensholic say that this lens is new, so i got a chance to try it and quickly fell in love with it! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫

Coco Eye Lavender 3 Tone in Red Wine

Specification :

Diameter         : 18.80mm

B.C.                : 8.60

Water Content : 48%

Duration          : 12 month

Brand              : Coco eye 

Origin              : Korea

The pattern is really pretty, like it's name this lens have 3 color blended together and create an abstract pattern. For Red Wine the color is black, yellow and pale red (almost pink).

On my eyes the pattern didn't looks abstract anymore! how strange! ⊙△⊙

it's looks like a small flower on my eyes, or my interpretation is weird?

but it looks so pretty in real life, with or without flash~ 

without flash, outdoor lighting

with flash

Photo taken at Studio

this lens have 18.80 mm which sounds really big, but for me it's not really

different with 15++ mm lenses. and oh... i forgot to take a before and after pic for the comparison, forgive me.... ヽ(；▽；)ノ *bow

Color and pattern ( 5/5 ):

the color and pattern is both a top knot for me. Vibrant color even on my dark eyes, and the pattern is so pretty! and i never see a lenses with similar pattern. i give this lens a 5!

Enlargement Effect ( 2/5 ) :

the lens diameter is 18.80 mm, which i think will make my eyes look like alien, but it's not... i do feel relieve but this lens makes no different with 15 mm lenses, so i think it's pointless.

Comfort ( 4/5 ) :

this lens is really comfortable on my eyes, but after 5 hours or so my eyes start to feel dry, and need a drop of lens solution. But after that it feels comfortable again.

Overall ratings ( 4/5 ) :

Great lens for anyone who wants to make their eyes looks pretty, the pattern is really nice and unique, the color is pretty vibrant too. But the enlargement effect is the same with 15 mm lenses, so don't be afraid with the "18.80 mm" label, my eyes still looks normal with this lens lol. The comfortness is so so but not so bad, so this lens is worth a try~

I got this lens from Softlensholic
