[Etude House] CC Cream (Correct&Care) SPF30/PA++ #1 Silky

I wanted to try  this CC cream out because they say it is even better than BB cream. So wrong, I was really disappointed with this Etude House CC Cream #Silky. It comes in two texture types: #Silky and #Glow. #Silky should be for oily skin but obviously not for my oily skin. They claim the CC cream should adapt to your natural skin tone and that isn't true. I'm not pale but have beige european skin tone and after this CC cream I look like a ghost.

Description:
For clean but natural face, Etude House CC cream with 2 texture types!
Recommend #1 Silky for oily skin, and #2 glow for normal to dry skin.
This multitasking, 8-in-1 formula hydrates, primes, conceals, treats, and protects skin at an easy single step for a healthier complexion, inside and outside . It glides on with a silky smooth finish. After using skin toner(freshner) on moisturizer stage, apply proper amount of this cream (about 1 pumping amount) evenly on your face from wide area to narrow area. For natual coverage, use this CC cream only. For more perfect coverage apply little amount of BB cream after CC cream.

It looks good on my hand, but on my face it is too pale and I have to fix the color. It would be good if only the color is the problem, it gets into my pores, so I have to use a pore minimizer.

What I like:
I didn't get any pimples.

What I don't like:
Oil control, it gets into pores, color adaptation.

Would I buy it again?
No.

[Mizon] PORE CONTROL

This is the first Mizon line that I have bought. I have decided to do that because it gives promises to clean pores and makes them smaller. Yes, pores, my biggest problem, I know, it is too good to be true, but I want to believe again and again. I can't help myself, I want skin without pores and I will try everything even I know that isn't possible.

What I like:

I like the most the Cleansing Foam because it really gives that clean feeling after washing my face. I like the Toner because it doesn't live greasy feeling like other toners but the amount of 80ml is too little. The essence is nice and it really makes my pores a little bit smaller and afterwards BB or CC cream blends easier and doesn't get into pores. The Toner, I don't know the use of it, if I use it after essence, my skin is too greasy so I use it in the evening and alone, it leaves nice light moist feeling on my face.

What I don't like:

Well, I don't see that my pores are smaller if I don't use the products all together, but I think that pores on my nose are cleaner. The line should make face complex better and if pores are under control, you shouldn't have to have excessive oil, but I unfortunately have.

Would I buy it again?

The Cleansing Foam yes, the Peeling Toner and Essence maybe.

[Holika Holika] Magic Pole Mascara #1 Power Volume

When I first discovered Korean mascaras I was really surprised. They are a lot better than the most European ones that I have been using. They last longer and that is what I love the most. I don't know why but I always come back to this Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara #1. The reason could be its brush. I have long, straight eyelashes that is difficult to curl and I have to use eyelash curler because without it, there is no result.

Don't get scared, this are photos of me without any makeup.

Description:

The special spherical wand is the feature that made this mascara the best seller item amongst other Holika Holika products. It has rounded ball at the tip of the wand. The ball is to separate your lashes. Normally it is hard to use your normal mascara on the bottom lashes. The round tip helps a lot to apply on your bottom lashes. When you remove the mascara, it comes off by pieces because of the fiber formula. If you're using oil based makeup remover, it wouldn't be that effective to remove the mascara or any type of micro fiber mascara. It will not give you "panda eyes", its waterproof, strong black lashes and curls your lashes.  
Use the spherical brush to grab and extend each and every lash for a lengthened and defined look. The spherical tip brush is great to get even those hard to reach lashes. The result is dramatic, blown-out lashes. Contains fiber extract which can enhance and strengthen lashes.

This is one layer.

 And this are two layers.

What I like:

 Everything. It is not a waterproof mascara like it says in the description,  but it holds on all day.

What I don't like:

 Sometimes, when I'm in a hurry, I get messy in the corners of my eyes, but every other mascara do the same to me because of my lashes.

Would I buy it again?

Probably I would.

[Lioele] Essential Donut Glo-stick Milky Pink #01

I wanted to try out this Glo-stick because it says it is a lipstick with moisturizer because my lips are always dry and flaky and I don't like to put on every now and then lipstick or gloss. Well, the color I have chosen is Milky Pink #1 and very pale. You can choose between five colors. I would  say it is a kind of lip treatment and lipstick mixed together.

Description:

Regular type lipstick with highly concentrated moisturizer contains an essence core with tocopherol acetate,to keep lips soft and moist throughout the day.This lipstick consistently corrects dark and sordid lips to give them color and exuberant glitter as would a lip gloss.You will give yourself a natural and refined look, no matter what type of ambience you wish to express with makeup. 
Consistently corrects dark and sordid lips, contains subtle glitter and volume, relief from flaky skin, improved luster, prevention of chapped lips.
  
How to use:

Apply onto lips directly onto lips without needing to apply lip balm. It also says you can apply it with brush mixing essence and lipstick together.

What I like:

I like the texture, the feeling it leaves on my lips, the  endurance on lips.

What I don't like:

 I don't like the scent, it is just terrible, it reminds me of the old type of lipstick.

Would I buy it again?

No, there is a lot of new stuff I would like to try.

[Sebo Specific] Anti-Imperfection Concentrate

From this cream I didn't expect much because I have tried Ultra Mat Anti-Shine Moistutiser Day also from the same line, and I was disappointed. This one is a little bit better.
I use it only at night and sometimes when I don't put on makeup in the morning. At the start I have to say oil control is not good. After 2 hours my face is oily but that isn't a big problem if you use it as a night cream.

What I don't like:
 Oil control, I don't see any improvement on skin texture yet, I haven't noticed that my pores are smaller and I've been using it for 2 weeks.
 
Would I buy it again?
When I use this one I will see if there is something better on the market.

[Etude House] EtudeHouse Precious Mineral BB cream Bright Fit W24 Honey Beige

This is my favourite BB cream till now. I have to say that I have a lot of stuff from Etude House and I'm  pleased with them. I had the first edition of  Etude House BB cream when they were only 3 shades and mine was the one for oily skin but it was too bright for me so I gave it away.
Precious Mineral Bright Fit is gorgeous for me. The only thing that I don't like is oil control but I usually fix that with loose powder.

Description:

Precious Minearl BB Cream promotes silky complexion with pearl infused sheer coverage.
Contains adenosine & arbutin for anti-wrinkle & whitening efficacies.
SPF for UV protection.

How to use:

Apply cream to all areas of the face and pat to finish.

Just for comparison with Hada-Labo N2. It looks really dark but when you spread the cream, it blends nice.

You can see the difference on my skin. The texture is watery and easy to spread. The scent is mild, nothing special, but OK. It doesn't give me breakouts, it is not shiny what I like. It really makes the skin smooth and moist.

[Lioele] Dollish Veil Vita BB cream Balm SPF25 PA++ 30g #2 Natural Green

I have to say at the beginnig, I like this BB cream very much. This one is N2, Natural Green. Before I bought it I was thinking between this one and Lioele Triple the Solution but Lioele Triple is only one shade so I decided for Dollish Veil Vita.

The package is cute, I love it, the pump is functional, not like Missha. There are 2 shades: Gorgeous Purple N1 and Natural Green N2.

The first one, pale green at the top, is Lioele Dollish Veil Vita. It blends perfectly with my own skin tone, I love that. The second one is Etude House W24, and the third one is Hada-Labo N2.

Description:

30ml BB cream with double-functions, works as a makeup base and BB cream and it is effective for skin tone correction and coverage. A new type of BB cream which not only protects the skin with vitamins but expressing more natural skin tones by changing capsule colors right after application.

 How to use:

What I like: 
I like the smell, texture, how it blends, coverage.

What I don't like :
 I'm not sure but sometimes I think it gives me little pimples, oil absorption could be better but comparing to other BB creams it is good.

 Would I buy again?
 I don't know, there are a lot of new stuff I would like to try.
