[Tried & Tested] Etude House Face Conditioning Cream

Hi Huneybees,

Etude House launched the Face Conditioning Cream just at the right time. I got it in a whim, knowing jolly well, I will be getting it cheaper it Korea, but what the heck, I still bought it and brought it along on my trip.

Right now, this is my favourite must-have! This little baby makes my skin soft, priming it for makeup, whilst keeping my skin moist. I always have this problem of getting dry skin when in cold weather, but this time was different, with the Face Conditioning Cream, I had no trouble at all!

The Packaging

Its white pearly box is exactly the same the colour of the cream. Whilst maintaining its girly feel, this white tube is made of a sturdier and shinier material like your toothpaste, so you won't mess it up with their brand of CC Cream.

The Fragrance

It smells a little like baby powder, delicate and soft, with hints of floral scent.

The Benefits

•  With Ingredients like Argan, Olive and Coconut oil to moisturise, nourish and control excessive oil
• Minimizes complex steps from skin care to makeup base to boost makeup condition lightly and simply.
• Anti-Wrinkle
• Whitening
• With added SPF 25 / PA++

 

The Texture

The texture of the product is very creamy, silky and smooth. It is lighter than your usual moisturiser creams and it get absorbed very fast, without leaving any sticky feeling. The skin is just nicely primed and slight whitened, though not as pale looking as CC Cream.

The Review

I only need 50c coin size of the cream for my whole face and after it's fully blended out, my skin is a little brighter and more even-toned with a glowy feel. I have it under my makeup and it adheres to it very well! I didn't need to do any touch ups throughout the day and my skin feels so soft and moisturised even after a day of being out!

So, if you are looking for the all-in-one primer and moisturiser for that glowy, dolly look like the Korean ladies, try the Etude House Face Conditioning Cream!

Benefit Hello Flawless, The POREfessional and Ultra Plush Gloss

Say Hello to Flawless! Goodbye to imperfect complexion all thanks to Benefit's HELLO FLAWLESS. It's already been in Benefit counters and it is the one revolutionary foundation that will give you that flawless looking skin!

HELLO FLAWLESS is oil-free with SPF 25 PA+++ with Vitamins C and E derivatives to prevent signs of aging.

With the exclusive Oxygen Wow Complex, the liquid foundation delivers instant results. Comes in 8 out-of-this-world shades to match your skin's colour, this foundation, not only brightens your skin and makeup, it also helps to boost cellular respiration for the "plumping up" effect. 

The shade that I have is "Believe in Me" IVORY. Hello Flawless suited my sensitive skin and I love how you can build it up for the amount of coverage you need. For my case, I applied more to my dark eye circles and the rest of it, I just blend it out with a brush. 

I didn't even need concealer after that. The foundation is like a soft stocking for your face and when I applied my makeup, not only did it stay longer than usual, the colours were also more obvious than usual. 

This is my must-get product for a great makeup routine. Hello Flawless is also good for those who loves nude-natural makeup. It's so light, you don't even feel that it's there!

When you get a bottle of HELLO FLAWLESS, inside is a sample pack of The POREfessional. 

The POREfessional quickly minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! You could apply this silky, lightweight balm alone, under or over makeup and you skin will look smooth like a baby's butt!

It's translucent, oil-free formula complements all skintones and helps makeup stay put with vitamin E derivative to protect skin from free radicals.

Above is a better depiction of how The POREfessional works. I don't have big pores to start with but when I apply the product under HELLO FLAWLESS, my skin totally looks like it had been photoshop-ed before! It's so smooth and my makeup stays on longer, these 2 products are not to be missed!

Here's a little tip:

PRIME IN THE A.M.
Apply a thin layer of this PRO balm to clean, lightly moisturized skin. Pat lightly from the center of the face outward with fingertips. Wait seconds, then apply makeup as usual. Skin appears smooth & even…isn’t that what we’re all looking for?

APPLY WHENEVER PORES COME OUT OF HIDING
If pores reappear, pat delicately on T-zone over makeup & blend. The lightweight, oil-free formula means a beautifully refined complexion. Remember, just a dab’ll do ya?

And to compliment the flawless looking skin would be luscious looking lips. The Ultra Plush Glosses not only matches their best selling blushers, they also make your lips more perky and ready for kisses.

Coming in 6 shades (3 sheer and 3 shimmery) from sultry nudes to punchy pinks, they come in soft-squeeze tubes with the custom tip designed perfectly for the even application.

Mine was the Coralista and Sugarbomb shade. Each had an amazing shine to them and they all had a very berry smell the moment I opened the cap. The tilted application from the tube, makes it super easy to glide the lip gloss and a small drop is enough for my lips to "shine"!

Take your pick of the candylicious glosses...

There's a whole range of Benefit products to try out and you can 'LIKE' their Facebook page for more updates too!

XOXO,
