[REVIEW] ETUDE HOUSE - Dear Girls Be Clear Moisturizer

Reviewing another item from ETUDE HOUSE today :) 

This is a moisturiser specially made for girls, that provides SPF 30/PA ++ which aims to protect your skin from the harmful sun rays. 

I want to also explain something about the word, "whitening" it does not mean to actually whiten your skin but instead to promote even skin tone and balance. Something must have gotten mixed in the translations but that is what korea believes whitening actually means. So don't worry, it's not actually a face whitening product but instead to enhance your skin. 

This applies on with a milky white-pink tone and leaves a bit of a white cast so be careful when you use it. Pump out a small blob, work it and heat it up in your hand\fingers and this will help the product break up and not leave the white cast. 

It is very convenient and hygienic as it is a pump packaging structure which doesn't allow you to contaminate the product avoiding further bacteria being taken to your face. It has a lot of natural products that protects the skin and helps enhance the quality. 

However this is not very moisturizing and works more as a base for makeup so I do not recommend this for people with dry skin. However this would be very suitable for those with combination and oily skin. Not one of the top products of ETUDE HOUSE for me but it can be very useful for others. I was also mislead by the name, to think that it could also be beneficial for acne-prone skin.

This is a good product worthy of  ★★★

Scent: Floral but not strong

Packaging: Girly and very adorable. Compact and easy to take along.

Would buy again? No, since I prefer very moisturizing creams.

Recommended for: Those with more oily skin to use as a makeup base that also provides healthy moisture to the skin.

Purchased on ebay.com.au

[REVIEW] Etude House - Precious Mineral Any Cushion Magic Mint

 Hi! Today I'm reviewing the Etude House's Precious Mineral Any Cushion Magic Mint. I know, what a long name but that's what Etude House is popular for. 

Just if you didn't know, Etude House is widely known as a popular cosmetic brand from Korea which is loved worldwide. It is cherished for its cute and girly designs and affordable products. Of course, I couldn't help myself but try this new product myself. I first knew about it when CutiePieMarzia mentioned that she got it on her trip to Japan. With her many praises and love for it, I decided to try it out.

This product is basically a primer for redness in the skin from either imbalance of skin tone or acne. It calms down the redness in your skin with a cool application of the creme-like liquid and masks it with a white cast. 

The white cast on your skin can seem very weird at first but it will disappear the moment you apply your daily makeup. I use bb creams and it is completely fine for me but if you want to make sure; this product would be best for those with fair or pale skin but it DOES work for all skin tones! For those with a lot of redness, you can apply extra layers and it should cover quite well. 

When I bought this on ebay, I actually accidentally bought the refill which is the just the plain white container with the pink sponge however it was cheaper. If you buy the entire package with the mint green casing like shown in the picture above, you also get an extra refill in the box. It's up to you which you buy but it's good knowing you can always buy refills when you're finished.

The scent is really pleasant and smells like freshly cut apples, true to its mint green colour. I absolutely love applying it onto my face as it smells delicious! The packaging as you see is adorable and also a reasonable size for easy carriage and transportation.    

I would definitely buy this again, as the result leaves me with soft and supple skin ready for makeup. On really good skin days, I can imagine leaving the house with only this on (but my skin is horrendous at the moment so that's the funniest idea for me, that is).

This is a wonderful product worthy of  ★★★★

Scent:Freshly cut apples

Packaging:Adorable and compact

Would buy again? Yes!

Recommended for: Those with redness and uneven skin tone
