SKIN 79 Super Beblesh Balm BRONZE SPF 50+ PA+++

Image
40 g. The packaging is quite large and not suitable for travelling. It has a perfumy scent. The Bronze colour turned out to be very dark for my skin. The shade is a mixture of brown, orange, red undertones. All I can say I am not a fan of it. I thought about mixing it with other BB creams but it turns out to be very heavy and it doesn't look pretty. In my experience bronzers that have red and orange tones have a tendency to look cheap on the skin. Unless you apply a very small amount of. In this case you may make it work . The coverage is quite high and in my opinion this shade works better for contouring. To be honest I prefer their purple version of this BB cream.

ETUDE HOUSE Zero Sebum White Sebum Clear

Image
 15 ml. It's an acidic sebum melting cream. It's made to melt the white sebum in your pores in order to get it out. The active ingredient is glycolic acid. I would suggest you to be careful if you have a sensitive skin or if you are using any acne treatment cream/ gels. I could say it does the job but only if you have low to medium sebum production. Basically it works better if you have whiteheads. For my stubborn blackheads I prefer LIOELE Blackhead Clear (I hope it will never be discontinued). To get a better effect I steam my face and I keep this cream for a bit longer than it says on the packaging.

THE SAEM Eco Soul Kiss Button Lips 10 Purity lip

Image
2 g. It has a very light natural sweet scent. It's a muddy pink beige nude colour (warm undertone). The texture is very creamy and buttery. Definitely it's not going to give you a mate finish. The colour pigmentation is good. It looks a bit too pail and heavy on my lips but maybe it depends on the skin colour and the way you apply it. This is why I try to apply it lightly and blend it in with my finger. This nude colour doesn't stain. You can wipe it easily with your hand or a tissue. It needs to be replied now and then depending on what you do. More information:

Mizon Sea Weed Jelly Scrub

120 ml. The scrubbing performance is very gentle almost unnoticeable. I can't remember it having any smell in particular. For me it was just another shower gel. I didn't notice any changes to my skin.   *** Good thing about it is the ingredients list: Water, glycerin, butylene glycol, sodium polyacrylate, oryza sativa (rice) powder, sodium hyaluronate, sapindus mukurossi fruit extract, caulerpa lentillifera extract (seaweed), glucomannan (konjac), amber powder, camellia sinensis leaf powder, undaria pinnatifida powder (seaweed), salicylic acid, polysorbate 60, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, methyl chloro isothiazolinone, xanthan gum, methyl isothiazolinone, chlorphenesin, 1,2-hexanediol, fragrance. *** No Paraben, No GMO, No Benzyl Alcohol, No silicon, No Animal, No mineral oil, No Phenoxyethanol, No artificial coloring, No Benzophenone, No sorbic acid, No talc, No sulfate, No Triclosan, No synthetic antioxidant, No Benzalkonium Chloride, No Im

Eau Thermale Avène Very High Protection Lotion SPF50/ Très haute protection lait spf 50

Image
It contains 100ml (travel size). The scent doesn't bother me. I have tried a lot of different sun screens but this one stands out of the crowd for me. This sun screen gives really high protection and is very water resistant . It's creamy (thick cream) and you have to reapply it now and then but not as often as any other. It does feel like a shield on the skin and I do tend to get pimples after using it constantly but anyway it's better than a sun burn.

HOLIKA HOLIKA Sweet Cotton Sebum Clear Powder In Mist

Image
 65 ml. The scent isn't natural but at the same time it isn't overwhelming or annoying. The smell is clean/ fresh and sweet. Basically it's a water - powder mist. You have to shake the bottle for water and powder to get mixed together. The mist will appear milky in the bottle but it comes out clear when you spray without any visible residue on the skin. I find the price very affordable for such a great product.  Somehow I prefer it over a Skindinavia The makeup Finishing spray oil control. I use it on my face as well as on my hair. It gives a great oil control and makes my make up last longer. One more good thing about it is that it's quite compact as for a spray and travel friendly.

Innisfree NO-SEBUM Blur Primer

Image
25 ml. It's a very thick, lightly tinted silicon primer. It has a nice fresh herbal scent that isn't strong or annoying. I'm really glad I decided to try it. It works very well filling in the pores. It gives a long lasting blur effect and oil control. It also creates a nice smooth finish.  It sits comfortably on my skin. Of course like any other silicon primer it can get clumpy if you apply too much so I suggest you take a small amount and spread thinly. I like to press it into the skin to fill in the pores and it works great. Since my skin is very oily I use it on top of milk of magnesium and it gives me a major oil control through out the day. This primer is also great if you have a flaky dry patches skin situation going on. I think it's the healthiest silicon primer I have ever tried. Ingredients: CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, SILICA, POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE, MICA (CI 77019), DIMETHICONE/

Innisfree Mineral Ultrafine Pact SPF25 PA++

Image
11 g. The scent is barely noticeable (natural fresh herbal smell). This mineral powder is extremely fine and smooth. I'm very glad I decided to try it. The shade 23 isn't yellow toned and since it's a very fine powder it gives a transparent look. The coverage is light medium. The texture is not heavy it blends and melts into the skin very quickly. This powder gives a natural and healthy matte skin finish. No heaviness or cakiness. It stays unnoticeable on the skin. Perfectly suitable for sensitive skin. It gives a great oil control. I think it goes well on any kind of BB or CC creams.  I really recommend this powder! Ingredients:

Innisfree SMART FOUNDATION WATER BALANCING SPF30 PA++

Image
15 ml. It's compact and travel friendly. Also it's very well priced (cost effective). The scent is very light, fresh and natural. The shade 23 suits me perfectly. I think it's a mixture of yellow and beige tones. It doesn't have grey or pink undertone. This is how this shade looks under a different lightings. I apply it with my fingers. For me it's the easiest way to apply. The coverage is light to medium. The formula is like water - lotion type it's very moistfull and not heavy. The texture is light and thin. I like it a lot cause it gives fine and natural/ healthy looking skin. It also gives a nice healthy moister glow. Definitely worth trying.

Missha Signature Wrinkle Fill up BB Cream # 23 SPF37 PA++ FAKE!!!

Image
Be aware of a fake Missha products on ebay even if you buy from a reliable seller like I did! iamlove-shop First, it's the name that is wrong Wrinkle Fill up . Second, the scent is stronger than original Missha Signature Wrinkle Filler. And finally the texture of this fake BB cream is thin and it doesn't cover the pores or fine lines cause it seems to be a simple cream mixed with foundation. For a fake it does look quite decent and maybe I could use it as any other BB cream but I'm not sure yet. I've tried mixing it with silicon primer and it turned out to be great! Very similar formulation to an authentic product. In the end it turned out alright. I wish I have paid less!!!

BERGAMO MAGIC Snail B.B Cream SPF 50+ PA+++

Image
50ml. This BB cream has a lot of positive reviews that's why I decided to try it. One thing that you should keep in mind is that it's very perfumy (sad face). It comes in one shade. My skin tone is something between yellow olive beige definitely not pink. The product shade is grey beige and I have noticed that grey undertones match my skin. The formula is very hydrating and moisturising. I think it could be a great product for people with dry flaky skin. It creates moistfull skin look. Since I'm using Tretinoin cream my skin tends to peel from time to time but this BB cream hides flakiness very well and is suitable for sensitive skin. Moistfull texture makes it easy to apply. It blends very well and looks very natural on my skin. Overall I really like it and I would repurchase it. Ingredients:
