HG ! Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation - Glow (W2) Review (Late Post - May)

Note: this is a late post,actually going to publish on the end of May.

Hey guys!
I'm so excited to post this!


As you can see I'm not a fan of foundation since it's quite heavy and smells and it shows flakes on skin (okay,I'm still amateur that time and only use one brand that my mom bought for me for my inauguration party since I don't have ANY makeup, and the first two times using this , magic!but later the 3rd and 4th is disappointing and when I feel(?) closely it's just ewww and never wear it again,and that time I only wear it probably only 4times for big occassions (I'm using Artistry that time,so that's my shallow opinion for all foundation,but guess not true of course,every brand has its own types))  and few months later I discovered bb cream and love to wear it since it's not heavy even though the coverage is decent,and swore that I'll always use bb cream. Yep,past tense,I broke it.
How I can moved to foundation?well that time I'm searching for reviews of bb creams since I want to change my bb cream and when I'm searching and searching suddenly there's a pop of this baby's review and decided to read it,and guess what it looks promising! I hurried searching for more reviews and all the reviews are positive! I was like "I MUST BUY THIS!" ,but.... i have a problem with the shade and confused and later I picked w2 hoping it'll match.
So,finally it came! But seriously I was afraid to try it for almost 2 weeks and finally tried it,and regret why I don't use it earlier! Lol
So actually this foundation seems have been reformulated or sth since there's the label of the season. This new season has 2 kinds , the fitting and glow.
The fitting one suits oily skin sincw it'll give more matte look while the glow suita dry skin.
I picked glow aince my skin is dry lately and for oily skin products always shows dry patches.
The glow has highlighter (pink) on it that works as a volumer thingy
This new season is also has fewer shades from 6 became 4.

  1.here it is! Quite high SPF!
 2.the back. They said that their boxes are made from soy ink paper stuffs that eco-friendly. So it's good!







3 & 4. The left and right sides,claims to be:
*covers effectively
*long lasting
*high moisture
*3free system (forgot what)
*contains mineral powder and jeju green tea /o3o)/☆

5. Click to open
6.first thing you can see, a mirror and a puff
7. Zoom!there's a plastic lid to hold the puff and to seperate it from the foundation.hygienic!
8.the back of the puff where you apply the foundation,it's in blue color and it' said that the puff is air puff that will gives airbrush finish aka flawless!
9. Idk but I think it's cute and hesitated for a week or two to use it lol
With flash*
See the pink one?it is for highlighting property to give you that glowy look.no worry,there's no shimmer









10.without flash













11.zoom with flash













Sorry I don't have any swatch whatsoever .
So my first impression using this : "wth ! Why I just found this now?!"
Yeap,it's easy to use and covers really good , even you put layers you still look natural! Sometimes people don't notice that you're wearing makeup!
Just dip some and pat pat to your face, don't spread it,just pat. But in some case you need to do spread movement when you applied to much in some spot.
The texture is creamy and the puff included is perfect,giving airbrush finish aka flawless.
I've tried dip my finger and pat to some spots but mostly it'll leave fingerprint :/ so,the puff is very important,don't lose it! I heard this is air puff so you can't just replace it with some crappy sponge and complaint about the finish.
What annoys me is cleaning the puff even though I cleanse it with my brush cleaner and even though it's not dirty,sometimes I got clumsy and the puff fell off -_- and not to mention it will dry for days -_- i suggest you to go get 1 more puff for backup.
For the longevity,...I usually don't touch up and when I get back home at night (from 7-8am) i don't know if it's the lighting or what but I don't really see the sign of fading because my spots are covered well but it's weird when it's hot and I'm outside I can see my spots even though it's not as bad as when I don't put any makeup. Yeah,my skin is weird. But when I cleanse it with my makeup remover in the end of the day (if I've been outdoor / outside for almost a day) the color of the foundation is not much, 1 (in my case 1/2,since I always tear half mine) cotton pad is enough to cleanse the foundation :/ it's just weird.
But anywho since I'm using this foundation,my friends often ask me what product I've been using and bought it from me.even my mom wants to buy this too! A good promotion for my online shop too I guess? :v

So here's my overall thought
PROS:
1.coverage is awesome even it's in glow type
2.no break out
3.hygienic with seperator lid
4.awesome air puff
5.mirror included (even though I never use it)
6.compact type,fit you makeup bag,palm size
7.refill available
8.great longevity (but for other reviews I've read the longevity is so so 3-5hrs)

CONS:
1.cleaning the puff is a pain,seriously
2.pricey

How To Use:
1.take the puff and dip (idk how to say it) the blue part
2.pat pat around your face until it's blended
3.lather / spread if you applied to much on some spot

Ratings:


5 out of 5 !


Will I repurchase?
Yeah!the refill one! Even though I'm going to try new foundie or stuffs but still this is a must!it's just sooo good!

So have you tried this?what is your favorite foundation?

My Massive Haul (February-March)

Hey guys
so excited to post this.i've been itching to write this but sadly 1item that I bought got lost 2 times from the shipping (BOO!) and I can't take the picture of it. So basically I ordered these on February and got this from the end of February til end of March (2weeks ago)
got all these items from different agents

let's pictures spamming!
 1. First up! A secret package I'll tell you later /slap , a laneige water bank set,a masami shouko mask brush and got a sample of skin79 bb cream. That one retractable kabuki brush from masami is my friend's. Quite disappointed with the gift ;( if I'm not mistaken everything cost me at least 2million rupiah (IDR2000/ Rp2.000.000)
 2.The Laneige box. So adorable! Pull on the side and you can find there's still one box before you can peek the items inside
 3.Just the clean packaging passing by pic.more like spamming :v
 4.Open it,and this mask sheet protects all items under it
 5. *drumrolls*
 6.Water Bank Gel Cream on the left (full size) and Water Bank Essence on the right (full size)
 7.A travel sized kit of Water Bank Moisture Cream,Moisture Power Essential Skin Refiner,and Moisture Balancing Emulsion
 8.Water Bank Double Moisture Mask

So that's all in the Laneige box. Let's move on to the next deal,the secret package! *drumrolls*
 9.Can you guess what's inside? That's right what else inside a pouch with Coastal Scents printed on it? A brushes set!
 10. Yohoo! I'm super dead if my mom finds out I bought this set (there're 22pcs brushes).
Yes it's affordable more likely cheap!But the look of that many brushes,my mom just can't accept it ×_×
 11.Tarang!Just move on to the list:
*The Face Shop Clean Face Blemish Zero Clarifying Toner (this is my 2nd tube!)
*The Face Shop Clean Face Blemish Zero Clinic Solution
*Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cream
*Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation Glow
*Etude House Eyelash curler Pink AD
*Peripera Color My Lips
*Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm Stick
*Etude House Eraser Show Mascara Cleaner
*Etude House Double Eyelid Tape
*Etude House 66Big EyeLine Charm
*Skin Food Milkshake Point Makeup Remover
*Innisfree Jejubija Anti Trouble Spot Essence W & R
*Innisfree Jill Gel Liner
*Etude House Aloha V Line Slim Maker

Actually there're more but OOS :(
Those are:
1.Etude House Rose Flowering Eyes
2.Etude House Aloha Bronze Skin Maker
3.Etude House Aloha V Line Slim Maker (other shade)
4.Too Cool for School 1Day Tattoo Waterproof Eyeliner
5.Skin Food Royal Honey Density Concealer Kit

Total of my spending (all without OOS items) around 1,9million rupiah (IDR1900/Rp1.900.000)
 1. I didn't purchase this,and I'm surprised to see this . At first glance I thought it's a chocolate bar and immediately realize it might be a pouch or sth. My mom even thought that's a chocolate and her voice suddenly change to creepy that she thought I bought a chocolate (my house is already full of chocolate /slap)
This is a gift from my beloved agent for my big spending lol
 2.It's said can be use as a pencil case or makeup pouch.But I rather use this as a makeup pouch. But tbh I haven't open it since it's just too cute!
 3.My acnes' treatment , apply it on the pimple's spot. This thing is expensive like hell!And I bought 2 of it!
Jejubija Anti Trouble Spot Essence R & W
 4.Eye makeup remover.
Skin Food Milkshake Point Makeup Remover and Etude House Eraser Show Mascara Cleaner.
But I'm planning to sell both since I don't think I'm going to use it on the meantime and I'm kinda broke ;A;
My friend already bought the mascara cleaner since I won't use it because I already got a mascara remover from Kiss Me Holiday set (check my KL's mini haul ) and she bought the mascara and not fortunate enough to get the set,so she has a mascara,and of course she needs a remover.perfect time to sell it! Lol

5.Face makeup Aloha V Line Slim Maker by Etude House (forgot the shade -w- ) and Innisfree Mineral Melting Glow W2
  
 6. Face care
*The Face Shop Clean Face Blemish Zero Clarifying Toner & Clinic Solution
*Innisfree Green Tea Pure Cream
 7.Lippie products
Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm Stick and Peripera Color My Lips






 8. Eye products
Innisfree Jill Gel Liner,Etude House Double Eyelid Tape,Etude House 66Big Eye Line Charm,and Etude House Eyelash Curler Pink AD
 9. Ok this is the mask brush from masami that I bought with the Laneige box earlier.but just wanna show you the close up. I also bought a baby shampoo since I forgot to order a brush cleanser and I must wait again for my cleanser to come. This shampoo cost me 7thousand rupiah (IDR7/Rp7.000)

 10. From left to right
*SkinFood Pack Brush
*Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream (the small sized one,bought 2shades,damn expensive!)
*Missha Signature Extreme Cover Concealer (this one is also expensive!)
*Etude House Puff & Brush Cleansing Mist
*Tony Moly Berry Lovely Girl Eye Primer
*Skin Food Coffee Almond Nail Scrub
Cost me around 750 thousand rupiah (IDR750/Rp750.000)
 11. TheBalm products!
So,this is what pissed me off the most when I received it. My agent said that thebalm that I've paid was accidentally sold by her sister,and she said she doesn't have any thebalm bahama mama on stock,what left is bahamamama+bettylou special pack,and if I want it I only pay 180thousand more and I agreed (even though I don't need bronzer anymore since I have one already but who can't resist the sweet deal?it's way cheaper than buying it seperately). And guess what?when I opened it I saw bahamamama is seperated with the loumanizer and the loumanizer is one pack of betty and mary , not betty-bahamamama! I've been tricked! Even though I'm the winner here (of the great deal and got 2 loumanizer) but still it pissed me off. It's kinda like a scam(?) Idk but if you want to sell your stuffs,don't do sth skinny like that >:(
It costs me around 500thousand rupiah (IDR500/Rp500.000)

12. The lastband the latest items (actually this is not included as a haul,but since it already arrived,I just take the pic and put it in on the post)
The skinfood apple logo thingy and precious minerao bb cream is not mine,it's my customers'. I ordered around 14 items and these are the only things arrived TAT
*Etude House Brush Shower Cleaner
*Etude House Kissful Lip Care Scrub
Cost me around 200thousand rupiah (IDR200/Rp200.000)

So,that's a wrap!
Total : around 4,6million rupiah (IDR4600/Rp4.600.000),shipping excluded.

So this is my massive haul so far.
How about you? :3

Do you find anything interesting to be review soon?

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

SWATCHES

 2.Without flash

Pic no1 & 2 = failed.
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!

 5.Without flash
 6.With flash
Pic no 5 & 6
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?
