SPF / sunscreens / sunblock (Skin Food RED ORANGE SUN PACT SPF50, Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Powdery spray SPF50, Daily Air Light CC Sun Cream SPF45, Etude House Precious Mineral BB CREAM Cotton Fit)

SPF products that I have tried recently and I like them a lot: 1. Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Powdery spray SPF50 It comes in a 100ml spray bottle. The bottle is a bit bigger than I expected. The main reason I bought it is that I could take it with me on a plane. It barely fits into a liquid bag and leaves very little place for other items. This is a little bit upsetting.  It has a nice scent but if I had to use it everyday I think I would have to buy unscented (but it's just me).  It has a light powdery texture and it doesn't make your skin pale or oily. I like to spray it into my hair parting to protect the skin on my head as it gets burnt easily/ to protect skin underneath my hair . This is my second bottle of UV wonder shield (previous one was also 100ml but the bottle was smaller ). I will be buying it again and again while the sun keeps shining :) 2. Daily Air Light CC Sun Cream SPF45 It comes in a 50g tube. It is water and sweat resistant (true).

Lioele Blackhead Clear

I don't know how I managed to survive all these years without this product! Lioele Blackhead Clear 60ml The packaging is cute and girly.  It softens/melts the sebum in the pore so it comes out easily. I like to scrub my face and steam with warm water for a bit. Try not to use tretinoin/retinol or any other gels/creams (clinique dramatically different moisturising gel) that can make your skin sensitive. I avoid using tretinoin cream for 3-5 days and I use natural creams instead.  I split in half the cotton pad and cut it into different shapes. I soak them and apply to all of my face. Wait for 25 minutes and wipe it off. After I wash my face and apply organic coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil. This product cleans my face pores perfectly. This is my third bottle of it. Love it so much!!!

Step 1. I apply milk of magnesium all over my face using a cotton pad and then I wait for it to dry. Step 2.  I use one of these as a primer: Skinfood black egg primer has oil gel consistency. Monistat gel has silicon gel consistency. Avon Magix face perfector is like a very dry cream and it has SPF 20. Step 3.   Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Pact This is a transparent powder that has not scent. It is silky smooth. Step 4. To conceal my under eyes circles or discolourations I use either Lioele Mix Concealer or Missha Signature Wrinkle Filler BB cream. Lioele Mix Concealer It has a thick creamy consistency but not liquidy. It gives a good/ high coverage and brightens my eyes. I like the idea of mixing these two together so you could achieve the shade you need. It gives a natural finish and blends in very well. It is also great at concealing the blemishes! It has a very light scent almost no scent at all.The packaging is very cute and is suitable for tra

Tony Moly blackhead out oil gel

  It comes in a 30ml huge plastic jar that looks like an egg as you see. I find it very cute and creative but at the same time it is a huge piece of plastic.   After you finish the product you can break the egg and use it as a decoration I am not sure if I am going to do that. I like the smell a lot. It smells like sweet orange. I wash my face and scrub it before I apply this product to all of my face.  You don't need much of it. It does feel like a gel oil.   It has small and large particles but I wouldn't use it as a scrub. I leave it for half an hour or more.   It sits quite comfortably on my face and the scent doesn't go away. I think this product will last me a while. My pores feel refreshed but not clean after it. I think it is a good product to open up the pores and clean them with something more powerful afterwords. I don't think I am going to repurchase it but it was nice to try it out.

HOLIKA HOLIKA Miracle Real Skin Finish combination/oily

It has SPF 25. It comes in a 50g. plastic jar PP which is number 5 considered to be safe to use! The packaging is gorgeous, very cute and magical. I like the packaging a lot. It is a thick cream with pink undertone. In the beginning it looks a bit weird on my skin since I am yellow toned but after it is absorbed it becomes less and less noticeable. It also makes your skin look a bit palish since it has SPF. You need very little amount of the product. I can use it even when my skin is very sensitive. The scent is nice and soft not strong at all so it doesn't bother me. I apply this cream on a daily basis when I don't have to wear any make-up. It doesn't control my oils and It doesn't make my skin matte. After half an hour or so my skin looks oily so I wipe the excess oil away and reapply the cream. I like how nice it feels when you are applying it. I think people with dry to combination skin could give it a try. I wil

korean cosmetics obsession TONYMOLY Floria Moisture Cream Body Scrub

TONYMOLY Floria Moisture Cream Body Scrub 150ml  I don't like the cap cause the hole is very narrow so it is hard to get the product out of the tube.   I have to unscrew the cap to squeeze it out. The scent is very strong in my opinion! I would say it has unisex scent.  It has nothing to do with st ives apricot scrub which is creamy and moisturising. This one has more like a gel cream texture. Scrub particles are quite large and few in numbers. It does leave your skin feeling comfortable and smooth. I will finish the product but I won't repurchase it again. Have a great day :)
