ETUDE HOUSE DEAR GIRLS BB CREAM + AC CLINIC SUN BB CREAM REVIEW

Hey Guys!
Today I'm going to do a 'DUO' Review about Etude House's BB Creams.
As I promised before I'll make a review about Etude House AC Clinic Sun BB Cream but a comparison review. So here we go

 1. (LEFT) Etude House AC Clinic Sun BB Cream SPF30/PA++ (trial)
     (RIGHT) Etude House Dear Girls BB Cream SPF30/PA++
 2.Here's the cute packaging of Dear Girls one ~
It comes in light pink with girly patterns.
BUT I don't buy it because the girlish cutey pinky packaging. I'm not sold with this packaging LOL high standard /slap
Since the AC Clinic one is in trial version,so it doesn't have specific packaging,it comes in a pouch
 3. Descriptions,Directions,Caution LOL
 4.The Ingredients List. You can click the image to zoom
5. Only last for 12months after the first usage (after opening)

















So,the Dear Girls BB Cream claimed it has 5 FREE Ingredients:
1.Paraben
2.Talc
3.Mineral Oil
4.Artificial Fragrance
5.Animal Ingredients

So,it's quite safe for sensitive skin,and for teens who are afraid of their skin to be sensitive with makeup ,this is a good start (like me LOL)

It comes with a pump,quite hygienic and more control of the amount we want

And for AC Clinic Sun BB Cream it claims to be SAFE for acne prone skin and doesn't clog pores,since it's launch in acne treatment series

Both have SPF30/PA++. Quite good .But if you need more protection you can use Sun Block with higher SPF before applying BB Cream.
And both comes in ONE SHADE and I'm quite fine since I have quite a fair skin. But to mention you need to wait a little to makes the BB Cream's color looks more natural/match if you have quite fair skin (light beige to natural beige),if you have pale skin,it will suits you as soon as you applied the BB cream :v

I used holika holika wonder drawing eyeliner pen to write 'Etude' and waited for few minutes and when I tried to blend it,it's still not dry and everything turned almost black -___-
waste my eyeliner and bb creams!

Dear Girls BB Cream on top
AC Clinic Sun BB Cream on bottom
7.Blended

















As you can see both gives the same coverage. Since it comes in one shade. And how well it suits your skin depends on your skin tone,the amount of the cream,blending techinque
So of course since AC Clinic one is my first BB Cream and I'm not quite good on applying and prepping my skin before applying it that time,the BB Cream doesn't suit me well. Not really even,and really shows my cracking dry face that time because using the series (I don't know how to trick on the prepping skin for less 'cracking' look that time)
In the photo you can see it's a little bit greyish,but actually it's quite warm tone after blended (sorry for the lighting)

When I use AC one for a long time it doesn't break me out or irritate acnes since it's made for acne prone skin. But when I use Dear Girls one for a long time in a full lighting room (like plaza) mostly there'll be 1 2 zits and 1 2pimples show up after I got home.But depends on your skin type too.Everyone has different skin. Mine is really weird -_-
Both have average oil control I guess since my face starts to get oilier soon (slower 30mins-1hour than normal) and I don't blot unless if I got home,and need to go out again and too lazy to cleanse and reapply the bb cream /slap

So,...yeah,I'm out of words now -_- So many things on my mind now

So,here's the conclusion about Dear Girls BB Cream
PROS:
1. 5 Free Formula
2. Good for teens with sensitive skin
3. Quite cheap

CONS:
1. Come in one shade (not a biggie for me)
2. Average oil control

RATINGS:


4 out of 5 stars

Will I Repurchase?
I still don't know. I want to try other BB creams (there're tons of it!) ,but I'm quite afraid too (will irritate my skin,break out,or the shade doesn't suit me (since I never choose any typical shade because until now my bb creams come in 1 shade))

Which one I prefer most?
Dear Girls BB Cream


So have you tried this bb cream?What is your favorite BB cream?Any comments?Suggestions?

Etude House AC Clinic Trial Kit Revew SECOND THOUGHT

Ola! I'm back!Got problem with my internet again but thank God it's over!
So, you guys might have read my review about EH AC Clinic Trial before (you can check it here)
and that time I've been using it for maybe about 1month or so and I loved the Cleanser and the Toner most!

But now I'll give you the review of my SECOND THOUGHT after using it for 4MONTHS and pardon me if I didn't insert any picture because you can see it on my first review

A. AC CLINIC DAILY ACNE FOAM CLEANSER

Yes I love it...BUT after using it for a moment after my review my skin got DRIED UP.
Sure it really cleanse well and give that 'fresh' feeling so it's normal it it gives 'TIGHT" sensation after cleansing. But it's not just that,my skin from oily become soooo dry and some of it half peeled so it's a BIG NO if I use BB cream because it really shows the dry patch

For some people this cleanser is GREAT because they use cream,moisturizer,etc but I'm still new that time. I don't use any moisturizer or cream or whatever except AC Clinic Gel Lotion that I got from the pouch.

I suggest this product is worth it for OILY SKIN TYPE and don't because you think your skin is oily you don't need any moisturizer. BIG WRONG! Trust me I've experienced it


I think I used up all for 2months or so

Conclusion
PROS
1. Cleanse well
2. It has active ingredients to prevent and heal acnes
3. Fresh feeling when cleansing
4.Good for oily skin type
5.A little goes along the way
6.Easy to lather

CONS
1.It gives tight sensation after using it so I must splat my face with some moisturizer immediately
2.For long term usage it really dries my skin

Ratings
 out of 5 stars

Will I repurchase?
NO. There's way much better cleanser out there and I'll try some

B. AC CLINIC DAILY TONER

I admit it's good to remove the dirt that still left on my face after cleansing,and it gives a cool sensation and my face feels like FRESH. But sadly after long term usage some spot of my face irritates and bumps appear on the right and left side of my nose (not the nose) like someone just slapped me hard and also it's red like rash or something !It can appears when I'm toning,or right after toning,or.. a few moment after toning!
And it really helps to DRYING my skin! OMG!

At first I thought my skin tends to dry and irritates since I'm using the BB cream from this line daily (the first time I used this I only use the BB cream sometimes,but later when I got a job I'm using this almost everyday)
but still I'm using the toner and BB cream. It continues until the state of BLEEDING !
Yes,it's true! Some area of my face show the veins,and sometimes bleed because my skin is thin,and the drying up stuff really makes my skin thinner!
After some moments later I realized that it's not the BB cream's fault,but it's because of the toner. I immediately stop using it regularly only using it after cleansing my face from BB cream but it doesn't last very long though because the moment when I realized it , it almost finish!

I think I used up all about 1-2weeks after I used up the cleanser

CONCLUSION
PROS
1.Removes dirt or left makeup well
2.Fresh sensation when using it
3.Good for oily skin type

CONS
1. Dries up my skin
2. My skin got thinner to the point until it shows the veins and bleed
3. Irritates some spot of my face

RATINGS
out of 5stars

WILL I REPURCHASE?
DEFINITELY NO. Gonna try others

C. AC CLINIC DAILY GEL LOTION

From the first review you can see that I don't really like it but after some time later I LOVE IT!
It does give the sticky feeling where you feel like your face is stiff but I don't really mind.

Because when I applied it on my face and there's like some small zits or will be the small zits quickly dried up! So I don't need to put any acne cream,powder,etc for those small zits. And it also quite moisturizing
I used up all about 3-3,5months


CONCLUSION
PROS
1. Quite moisturizing
2. Good for all skin types
3. Dries up small zits
4.Absorbed quite fast

CONS
1. The sticky feeling that makes the face 'stiff'

RATINGS
out of 5 stars

WILL I REPURCHASE?
I want to but I'm still confused because I want to try others too and I'm sort out of money LOL
But 80% will repurchase it in the future

D. AC CLINIC DAILY SUN BB CREAM SPF30/PA++

First thing it doesn't clogged the pores so it's okay if you applied it to cover your pimples .
But other than that it's just so-so for me. Not really impressed. I only impressed it brighten my skin a little and my dark scars start to fade even not completely fade. But I suppose almost all BB Creams can do that job.
I believe it will glide quite smoothly on other people's skin since my skin really dry and it shows my dry patches.
It comes only in one shade but that's not a big problem for me because I have quite fair skin but sometimes it really annoyed me because it doesn't cover much my acnes (since my skin is quite fair,all my scars and acnes really visible and the color is quite 'show up') and even I tried to layer it up it's not much different

I have used it for 4-4,5months but it still not finish,and my order for other BB cream has arrived and I swap my BB cream. I just got bored you know LOL
I'll give you the swatches on my other post later,but it's comparison with my other BB Cream
 





Info: I heard that Etude House has discontinued the BB Cream on full size tube,so you only can get this on the trial kit

CONCLUSION
PROS
1. Has SPF 30/PA++
2. Doesn't clogged pores
3. A little goes along the way
4. Brighten my skin a little bit (helps to fade some scars too even not completely)

CONS
1. Come in one shade (but that's not a big problem for me)
2. So-so coverage , in my case : meh. I need more coverage
3. Even after layered up it gives not much different
4. I still got some sunburns on some spot of my face (maybe I need a higher SPF)

RATINGS
out of 5stars

WILL I REPURCHASE?
NO. There's a lot more of BB Creams out there to try

E. AC CLINIC PINK POWDER SPOT + COTTON BUDS

I'm not quite impressed at first. But now I'm reconsidering to repurchase it or not.
Yes it takes time to heal the acnes. But I found out if  I use it regularly on the spot when I feel like there's going to grow one, it will prevent it to grow and disappear! But not for all of my acnes sadly
When I dip my cotton bud, the liquid (or alcohol I think since it smells like that) absorbs to the bud,so after using it for some moment you can see the liquid is starting to disappear until the point it dried up. Right now I've run out of the liquid,but I still can take the powder easily,but I guess after some moments later it will completely dry and it's hard to take the powder out
For the cotton buds if I'm not mistaken the kit has 10 . I love it. Great material ! Way different from the buds I bought from market


Right now I'm still using it and I almost run out, but I also had other (1) acne medicine that my dad bought for me .

CONCLUSION
PROS
1. Prevent some acnes to grow
2. Great quality of the cotton buds

CONS
1. Takes time to heal
2. The liquid absorbed to the bud,afraid if I purchase the full version I don't have enough time to finish it before it dries (unless I had tons of acnes LOL wish not! )

RATINGS
out of 5 stars

WILL I REPURCHASE?
Still confused. I had my eyes on other brands,but afraid if it doesn't work for me I must order and wait for pre-order. To buy it all in one time, I don't have enough money.I've spent A LOT from my Haul



So I guess that's all. I'll update if I got third thought LOL /slap
All the items above is in sample (mini) size
I have oily combination skin (super oily on my nose,oily on my forehead, normal on my cheek)(that time) and super sensitive!But now I have quite oily nose,dry skin,and still.super sensitive!


I suspect those contains alcohol (which I think my skin is sensitive to it), so if you're sensitive to alcohol, it's better to only use the one for the acnes (like pink powder spot,intense liquid spot,etc)
So,have you tried it before? Any comments ? Suggestions? Others?

It's Tuesday! AC CLINIC REVIEW :3

Hey It's Tuesday!
And Just Made A Blog!

Today I'll Share Something About

*dum dum dum*

Etude House AC Clinic Trial Set! 


Etude House AC Clinic Trial Set























Yep! I've started to use this about 1 and half month
At first I'm trying to purchase Dewytree AC Dew Trouble Calming Calamine Spot after reading a review about it. Sadly,when I have added it to shopping cart,I don't have time to go to the ATM and my order automatically deleted! Trying to re-add but the item is out of stock! :'(


Desperately I'm searching for other Korean Product for Acne/Acne Scars/Blemish and turns out they're VERY EXPENSIVE and packed in BIG BOTTLES :s
Then I saw EH AC Clinic Trial Set, it's WAY CHEAPER , ALL IN ONE SET , and with SMALL PACKAGES keep on a small handy bag
Contains :
1. AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser
2.AC Clinic Daily Toner
3.AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion
4.AC Clinic Pink Powder Spot (with a small pack of special cotton buds)
5.AC Clinic Daily Sun BB
It still costs a sum of money for me, keep hoping that it'll match my skin

At first when it's arrived, I've no idea about the steps because I never use complicated beauty product (I only use professor's medicine with no labels, but it's famous in town, succeed to lots of people, turns out not effective for me after using it for more than 2years! Imagine the money that my mom has spent to buy the medicine :( ) , fortunately the person who sells it use this product too and help me with the steps

Here I Go! Let's Review It ONE BY ONE

AC Clinic Daily Foam Cleanser



How to Use :
1.Wash your face with warm water to open your pores
2.Press the tube gently until the liquid is as big as a pea
3.Spread it on your palm then scrub to your face/ spread directly to your face, better massage it for 3minutes
4.Wash until clean with cold water to close your pores

The texture of the cleanser is quite solid and lather, but it's very soft when you press/spread it.
I like this cleanser because it gives fresh sensation and it can removes make up (never tried it because when I'm using this I haven't been applying make up,except AC Daily Sun BB Cream and it can removes it clean even I applied it a lot)

What I like from this product :
1. Fresh sensation after using it
2. Really removes dirt and oil (FYI: I have oily skin type, super oily on nose and forehead)

What I dislike from this product : none!

Will I buy this again : ABSOLUTELY

AC Clinic Daily Toner

How to Use:
1. Take a Facial Cotton
2. Pour a small amount (thumb nail sized) of toner to the cotton
3. Apply it to your face after you dried it well after you washed it with the cleanser
(Use after toner)

For some people they can't stand with the alcohol alike smell, but I don't think it has strong smell, and I think it's normal

What I like from this product :
1. Fresh sensation after using it
2. Remove some dirt that left on your face

What I dislike from this product : none!

Will I buy this again : ABSOLUTELY

AC Clinic Gel Lotion

How to Use:
1.Pour it on your 3finger tips
2.Spread all over your face,better for give it some massage

This lotion quite smelly than the toner for my opinion. I apply it thinly all over , because I feel weird if I accidentally apply it thick. And for me I think it's a little bit sticky at first, but after a while the sticky sensation on my face disappear
It helps to moisturize the skin

What I like from this product :
1. Moisturize the skin so it won't get really dry after using cleanser and toner

What I dislike from this product :
1. The smell
2. The sticky sensation

Will I buy this again : Maybe, since I'm still using AC Clinic Cleanser and Toner, I'm quite worried to mix with other type since my skin is sensitive

AC Clinic Pink Powder Spot

How to Use :
1. Take a cotton bud
2. Dip it to take the pink powder
3. Apply it to acnes
Note : REMEMBER !
*DON'T SHAKE THE BOTTLE TO MIX THE POWDER WITH THE WATER INSIDE. TAKE THE PINK POWDER ONLY
*AFTER APPLYING AND IF YOU WANT TO TAKE MORE USE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUD

It has pink colors after you applied, this product uses before sleep, wash in the next morning
It's okay if you use it at morning/afternoon but don't let it expose to the sun
Usually when I use this , it doesn't feel hurt or sth, my guess it's not effective , but sometimes it feels hurt

What I like from this product : None. I think it's not really effective
What I dislike from this product:
1. Not effective
2. Strong smell

Will I buy this product again : NOPE. I think I'll try other brand after finish it

AC Daily Sun BB

Use this when you're going out at day, it prevents your face from UV . Apply this after using toner (I don't apply gel lotion if I'm going to use this)

At first I'm glad after using this few times when I cleanse it I see my skin's getting brighter and the red blemishes start to fade (that time I don't use it very often because I'm staying at home most of the time)
But later when I often go out for work and apply it almost everyday, it starts to irritate my face. Some spot of
my face is getting itchy and red :(

What I like from this product :
1. Brighten my skin
2. It helps to dry dead skin cell so it's easier to peck the dead skin

What I dislike from this product :
1. It irritates some spot of my face
2. It can't cover all the blemishes even I applied for more than 1 layer (to remember one of the BB Cream function is cover dark spots/blemishes)
3. It can't prevent my face from sun burn feeling if the day is quite/really hot (SPF 30)

Will I buy this product again : I think I'll change to other type/brand of BB Cream, but I'm still confused to decide which

I think that's all my reviews for this product
Rating : 3,5 stars out of  5
