REVIEW: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong #1

Hello! (: 

So today I will be talking about one of my absolute favourite product! Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong in #1 Sheer Silky Skin. This product comes in #3 different shades which are not very different from each other but they differ with your skin type.

It has SPF 30 which is great to protect your skin from UV lights during the day.

When I got this product I didn't know that #1 was for oily skin type but I got it because it was the lightest shade (smart right? -_-). I have combination skin where only my nose area gets oily, my forehead are is very and the rest is just normal with a little sensitivity. But it worked great for my skin type! Also, I usually have trouble finding products for my skin colour because I'm very pale with both pink and olive undertones, if that makes any sense at all. But every product I use either looks very beige or very pink on me :( This BB cream matches perfectly!!

Etude House is a Korean brand and this BB creams advertisements were made with Sandara Park, who I love very much and I think she is beautiful! This product has a really nice, pleasant smell which is not very heavy... I can compare it to Chanel foundations actually because I find the smell very close to VitaLumiere which once I used. Also this product did not cause me to breakout or anything like that and usually my skin is not that great with products due to sensitivity.

It comes with a pump so all you have to do is to pump out the product out of the tube. Which is very sterile. 

I am a very lucky girl when it comes to skin because I don't have any blemishes or scars that I have to cover up aside from a little redness on my cheeks which happens because I blush easily. So this product is more of a light to medium coverage. If anyone out there with blemishes or acne scars wants to use it you will HAVE to use a concealer on top of it. With this BB cream I find it okay not to put powder on top if I want to have a dewy finish that day but at times I use translucent powder if I want more of a matte finish. Even so my skin looks very healthy still.

It looks very light on my hand but it matches perfectly with my face!

All in all, words can not describe how much I love this product and soon I will run out of it! It seems that PinkyParadise doesn't carry this anymore and I couldn't find it on any website that I can trust purchasing from.

Pros:

packaging (tube with pump)

great for combination skin types

pleasant smell

healthy, dewy finish

fair pricing
a little goes a long way!

Cons:

hard to find now (but there is a new range)

if you need heavy coverage it's not for you!
it's hard to get the amount you want with pump...

Thank you for reading my blog! If you know where I can get this BB cream again please comment down below! To go to Etude House website in Korean click here. If you want to visit the English website click here.

Pinky Paradise Review

Pinky Paradise! I even love the name of this website! They carry a lot of great stuff. This is a very late post but months ago I ordered several things from Pinky Paradise for the first time. Of course I was sort of scared ordering them as you don't know if you will get authentic things or even if you will get them or not?! They had a promotion for express free shipping at the time depending on how much you spend. 

This FedEx envelope was inside another FedEx envelope for which I believe the safety of the items.

The items were sent in a FedEx bubble envelope which was again inside a FedEx bubble envelope. The shipment for me was free and it was express shipping. My order came over to my place only after couple days that my order was processed. In case if you are wondering my order was processed the day I ordered my items.

They had the Etude House BB Cream wrapped in a soft bubble wrap. They sent the contact lens cases and hair holder as a gift which I believe is very nice of them!

Pinky Paradise staff was very friendly. Before I ordered my contact lenses I asked them a lot of questions and they patiently answered all of them as soon as they could! There were these specific contacts that I was looking for at the time, which I saw on a celebrity and they even helped me figure out which contact lens is the most similar to that one.

They had the contact lenses that I ordered wrapped in soft bubble wrap so the  glass vials were safe from damage! They also sent the eye masks as a gift too (: 

 I am very happy with my order from them. The shipping was very fast and not just that but the items I received are great and I am happy with every single of them. So, if you are looking for some Asian cosmetics (which is hard to get a hold of outside of Asia) and circle lenses that are authentic, you definitely need to check out their website.

REVIEW: Lush Hair Treatment Jasmine and Henna Fluff Eaze

Hello (: 
So today's post is going to about a Lush product which I have used for a while now. It is the hair treatment that was made to tame frizzy hair and to moisturize it. This hair mask cost me £11.50 which I don't believe is very expensive as it is a product that does what it says even though not as much as I expected it to be. 

Hair Moisturizer
"Frizz be gone! Avoid fluffy, flyaway hair by applying plenty of this henna-rich, organic jojoba, brazil nut and coconut oil pre-wash treatment to dry hair, massaging it into your scalp, leaving for 20 minutes and rinsing out."

It comes in a classic Lush black pot which you can recycle! There is 220g / 7.7 oz. of product in the pot.

I apply this product to all of my hair but mostly on the tips of it. I have very long hair so I can say that this pot has enough product to use it 4 times. You have to use it on your dry hair (so it can not be wet or damp). Leave it in for 20 minutes (I usually leave it on for longer) and then rinse it out and continue with your regular hair routine. 

This is how much is left from it after 3 uses.

This product definitely does ease the frizz in the hair but I can not say that I see a nice moisturizing effect from it. I have very dry hair due to the fact that I have bleached it a lot of times and even dyed it pink and several other colours. When I bought this product I thought I would love it as much as I loved their other hair masks but unfortunately I don't. Even though it eased the frizz in my hair, my hair was very hard feeling and not soft at all. I have used a lot of moisturizing hair masks before and they have all left my hair feeling very soft but with this product the tips of my hair felt very bad and it also looked very brittle for some reason. Also, this product has a very strong smell to it which will stay in your hair until third wash. It is not a bad smell and also not a very pleasant smell, so I would not recommend to people that don't like the smell of henna but in a very strong way. 

Pros:

it does ease the frizz

smells nice after you wash it out

it is a vegan product

Cons:

it does not leave the hair soft

while it is in the hair smells very strong and bad (in my opinion)

I would only recommend this product to those who have pretty soft but frizzy hair and most importantly to those who does not mind the strong smell of this product. So before you buy it, smell it in the store!

If there are any products that you can recommend for very dry hair leave it as a comment (: 

Thank you!
