Etude House CC cream review and BB cream Cotton fit swatches

Hello readers, I know that it's been a while since the last time I posted a review. My schedule is really hectic,  but please excuse my lack of post.

Today, I'd like to share the new product in the market that I've been hearing for weeks, the CC cream. I got mine in Etude House. It is available in two types the #01 Silky and #02 Glow. I bought the #02 Glow because I like dewy finish and I have few samples of #01 Silky which is in my opinion a semi matte finish.

I applied it on my skin without a primer, just a moisturizer and it looks amazing. It's still cold here in Korea, and I hope it will work in hot and humid season because I don't really like applying foundation or BB cream on my face in ordinary day.

CC cream has a sheer coverage, it looks really natural on skin. When I'm about to apply it I'd notice a micro beads in it, it melts on skin once you start blending. If you prefer more coverage, you can apply BB cream or foundation on top of it but I like the way CC cream looks on my skin already. It contains SPF 30 / PA++ and it seems like it is a photo friendly, my skin looks a little shiny though.

I'm also going to swatch the new Etude House BB cream Cotton Fit in W13 (not my shade and has a semi matte finish) to show you how it looks like with BB cream. And I'll swatch the CC cream #01 Silky at the end.

Price: 14,000 won

Etude House Sun BB cream Review

Hello everyone!! I wanted to apologize for the lack of post but I'm trying to get back on track again. Right, so today I wanted to review the Sun BB cream from Etude House. It has a light to medium coverage and it is  buildable. It has a semi matte finish, very easy to blend and you can use the NYMPH AURA VOLUMER also from etude house for a dewy looking skin. I like applying it with the sponge that was attached to the bottle because the BB cream looks very natural on skin. It is waterproof with SPF 50+/ PA+++ so it's great for summer heat. I don't think it oxidize, the W15 is a great shade for me I'm (MAC) NC 30 during summer.

Overall this BB cream is great for summer days especially if you're planning to visit the beach or pool it might protect your skin from the sun pretty well but it's still ideal to use hats or umbrellas. However, high Spf foundations or BB creams are not great for flash photography.
*update* The staying power is great. I've worn this for 8-10 hours before I need to touch up.

Can be purchase at Etude House for 17000 won.

innis free bb cream

 Hi Everyone!
Today I'll review a Korean Brand Innis free Mineral sun waterproof B.B. cream SPF 50 pa+++

To Korean people specially Female it's very important to use a sun block because here they like their skin white whole year.

Most of Korean Brand Cosmetic contains SPF pa+++.. why SPF pa+++ because if SPF and PA are together it can give you more protection from the sunlight

                        B SPF UV (UVB) protection index, PA along the UV-A (UVA) protection factor
                    UVB protects your skin from sun burn while the UVA protects your skin from aging sunlight can make your skin old faster and can form blemishes. however the recommended SPF is 15-30 because higher SPF can cause skin irritation to some people. (I found this information from an article in newspaper.. ^-^)



Now about the mineral bb cream it says it is waterproof and it lasts until 12 hours which is I don't know if it's really working that well. In my case I only wear it for 6 hours then wash it off. I found it difficult to remove completly and it leaves my face brighter than it used to be.

I'm in shade 2 but it is still lighter than my skin tone in summer time, I'll wear this on winter see if it's the same then update this post.

It's not thick but it's too light for me and it is with jeju natural mineral and organic green tea.
