Banila Co - The Basest Base + Primer Blending Review

Have you guys ever heard Banila Co? It's a korean fashion & beauty brand by F & F Fashion Company. Today i'll be reviewing one of their products,

The Basest (Base + Primer) SPF 30 PA++ Whitening & Anti Wrinkle

It has 4 types with different colors, mine is Blending (green)

I bought it in Korea for KRW 25000 / around USD 25

netto: 30ml

One of the functions of this cream is to neutralize skin's color. I heard green is a good option if you have some redness on face, so yeah i choose green :D

The texture isn't sticky but feels moist on skin. Honestly, too moist on my skin. This cream made my skin more oily after few hours of usage together with BB Cream. It's probably due to Indonesia's hot yet humid climate. FYI, my skin type is normal with oily combination on T-zone.

Can you see the difference? As promised, The Basest really do the job to moisture, whiten and adjust skin tone. The skin look brighter with The Basest, either you use BB Cream or not.

Will I repurchase? NO.
It's a good base + primer indeed, sadly it doesn't suit the climate on two-seasons country like Indonesia T.T

So for u girls with dry skin type, or currently living in a four-season country, i can say The Basest is one of good option. Just don't wear it on summer, Lol! See u on my next post ❥

Skin Food - Black Sugar Mask Wash Off - Review

Hello readers! Hope you guys doin well :)
Today i'm going to review the famous Skin Food - Black Sugar Mask Wash Off. Few sites mentioned this wash off mask as one of the best within mask & pack category.

100gr, price: KRW 7700 / around USD 7-8

Written there:

A mask that contains mineral-enriched Brazillian black sugar and promotes smooth, glowing skin.

To use:

After cleansing, massage onto damp face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. To minimize irritation, add water and toner while massaging. Leave for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

dampened my hand as instructed

texture

This mask is a bit sticky, (real)sugar-rich and smells like lemongrass. Not that annoying smell, it's more into fresh, nice scent ^^

details

The sugar melts along with my massaging gesture. When i use this mask onto my face, i use lukewarm water to dampened my face. It melts the sugar more easily. If you feel those black sugars are too harsh, add more water so that your skin don't get irritation. Remember to massage it verryyy gently, NO pressure on your fingers and make sure you do it slowly. I used to rub my hand before and it feels a bit sore after T.T

There are no significant brightness improvement after application, but I do feel my skin much smoother and a little more supple.

Repurchase? More likely YES :)

Do not hesitate to tell me if you have your favorite mask / pack ;) Gomawo!

Tony Moly - Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream SPF 30 PA++ Review

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing one of Korean CC Cream, it's Tony Moly - Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream.

As mentioned in Wikipedia, CC itself means Color Control or Color Correcting cream. It claim to reduce the appearance of skin redness or to improve uneven skin tone. But on Tony Moly sample's packaging it's written CC= Color Change.

Perhaps because this CC Cream will change its color, (according to what they advertised) so that they wrote CC for Color Change :D

It's original size is a 50ml-pump bottle. Price: KRW 16,800 / around USD 16

The texture of this CC cream is quite creamy, not runny at all. I put some on my hand, wait around 3 minutes, walk to dining room to drink some waters, and the cream was stay still, LOL.

If you noticed, there are little dots on this cream. 

Can you see those tiny dots? Click to enlarge the pic

Those dots are capsules which will burst and change color when you spread this CC Cream

BEFORE

AFTER

As you can see, after using  this CC Cream, my hand become more luminous, a bit pinkish and feels moist.

Now COVERAGE TEST! Let's see how good this CC Cream's coverage.

 I put two black dots using Etude House LUCIDarling Fantastic Brush Eyeliner

dab dab dab

DONE

Well, unfortunately this CC cream has really poor coverage. You can differentiate the before-after pictures by looking at those slightly sparkles on my hand after CC Cream application.

CONCLUSION

This CC Cream will probably look great on fair-and-smooth skin peoples, but not for me and another woman with some dark spots or acne marks. Believe me, those luminous effect won't look good on our skin because this CC Cream doesn't cover dark spots. Ok, maybe its cover up, very slightly.

Pros:

* Make skin glow / dewy finish

* Moisturizing

* Brighten up the skin

* Has SPF 30 PA++

* Not pricey

Cons

- Doesn't cover dark spots

- More suitable for dry to normal skin, because oily skin will get more oily with this CC Cream (my experience, particularly on hot / sunny days)

- Only suitable for fair and smooth skin (imho ^^)

Thank you for reading this review. Does any of you can recommend me a good CC Cream with good coverage? Let me know!

History of Whoo Brightening Peel Off Pack vs Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask

Udah lama nggak nge-blog, akhirnya punya waktu  niat buat ngeblog lagi. Dan kali ini aku akan review dua peel off mask dari brand high end History of Whoo dan Sulwhasoo ^^

FYI History of Whoo dan Sulwhasoo ini brand skin care dari Korea, dan bisa dibilang mereka saingan karena mirip. Kemiripannya adalah sama-sama terbuat dari bahan-bahan herbal.

History of Whoo adalah brand keluaran LG, sedangkan Sulwhasoo dari AmorePacific. Untuk informasi lebih lengkap seperti line dan spesialisasi masing2 bisa temen2 dapatkan jawabannya di website resmi mereka atau googling2 review para blogger.

Well, langsung aja ya. Kita mulai dari Whoo - Brightening Peel Off Pack .

A snow-white herb extract face pack that makes dry and uneven skin moist and smooth to facilitate and speed the absorption of other skin care products. The pack goes on gently and comes off smoothly and easily after it dries.

Full Size

Pastikan sebelum pakai peel off mask, merk apapun itu, muka kamu dalam keadaan bersih ya girlss ^^

Kamu juga harus ingat jangan sampai kena rambut atau alis, karena kalau masker sudah mengering ..... jeng jengg, ga mungkin kan alis atau rambut kita ikut ditarik :p

Teksturnya lembut dan lengket, agak mirip dengan lem kertas >,<

Peel off pack dari Whoo hampir ga berbau apa-apa menurutku. Di keterangan cara memakai tertulis untuk mengeluarkan krimnya sebesar biji anggur. Aku mikir kok gede banget, mana aku cuma dapet yg 13 ml (dapet dari special set line seol) kan sayang T_T

Aku pakenya sedikit demi sedikit eh ujung2nya bener juga aku pakenya sebesar biji anggur. Karena setelah dioles ke muka jatohnya tipissss banget. Dan kalau ketipisan akan susah dikelupas.

Saking tipisnya, masker ini merata dan nempel banget sama garis-garis tangan aku

Pas maskernya udah mulai mengering wajahku jadi keliatan seperti di plastikin XD sampai adikku kaget pas liat hahaha. Karena warna putihnya ga keliatan nyata, hanya keliatan kilap-kilap aja.

Kurang lebih 10 menit masker ini udah kering, dan aku mulai mengelupas. Cara mengelupasnya dari bawah ke atas, dari luar ke arah dalam.

Berikut plus minus Brightening Peel Off mask ini:

PLUS:

♥ Habis pakai masker ini wajahku terasa halus (halus aja, ga halus banget)

♥ Wajah terlihat sedikit lebih cerah
♥ Cepat kering

MINUS:

- Sama sekali tidak mengangkat komedo
- Sekali pake lumayan banyak
- Tidak terlalu elastis. Pada waktu dikelupas, copot "dijalan"

Sekarang, mari kita ulas Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask

This unique honey-textured treatment is formulated with small solomonseal powder to absorb impurities and Japanese honeysuckle to hydrate, smooth, and brighten. The powerful blend of Korean medicinal herbs exfoliates and purifies for a smoother, brighter, clearer complexion.

Tekstur peel off mask dari Sulwhasoo lebih kental daripada Brightening Peel Off-nya Whoo. Baunya lebih kentara, campuran wangi rempah herbal dan madu. Selain itu juga kalau diteliti seperti ada bubuk halusnya berwarna coklat. Pas diolesin ke wajah ga berasa, beda dengan butiran scrub.

Mungkin karena lebih kental, masker ini pakenya lebih sedikit daripada peel off pack whoo. Butuh sekitar 20-30 menit sampai masker ini kering.

 

And here's my opinion for this Clarifying Mask:

PLUS:

♥ Habis pakai masker wajah terasa halus, kehalusannya mirip-mirip dengan waktu pakai yang Whoo.

♥ Masker ini tidak mengangkat komedo, tapi mengangkat sel-sel kulit mati. Terasa dari tekstur kulit yang halus dan wajah lebih cerah. Tingkat kecerahan wajah lebih cerah dari waktu pakai Brightening Peel Off Whoo
♥ Masker cukup elastis

MINUS:

- Tidak mengangkat komedo
- Keringnya agak lama


Dari kedua peel off mask yang aku review diatas, aku jelas lebih ada hati sama Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask. Meskipun untuk daily skin carenya aku pakai Whoo ^^ hehe

Yang jelas, kedua masker diatas sama-sama memiliki kelebihan sebagai berikut:

♥ Sama sekali tidak sakit saat dikelupas
♥ Tidak menimbulkan merah-merah, gatal, sakit, perih atau semacamnya. Padahal kulitku termasuk sensitif dan aku lagi jerawatan pada waktu memakai kedua masker tersebut.
♥ Dapat digunakan semua jenis kulit
♥ Tidak menimbulkan minyak di wajah setelah digunakan


Sekian review aku tentang peel off mask Whoo dan Sulwhasoo. Jika ada pertanyaan atau koreksi dari post ini jangan ragu untuk komen dibawah ^^ Thank you for reading, xoxo
