REVIEW: Etude House Face Conditioning Cream Light ~
As in my haul I have stated I was excited to be using this cream because of all the hype from the beauty community raving about it ~ However I will say this now... I just don't understand the concept of this product? or well that's not true I do because I know it's meant to be an all in one product; a moisturizer, a sunscreen and a primer... But for me it didn't fit in any of these categories
a squeezable tube which reminds me a bit like toothepaste packaging.. but in a giant form... or even those who have used embryolisse lait creme concentre ~
Korean description and information 
The packaging I must say is adorable ~ though I must say the lid does feel quite cheap and the overall materials used but I can pass by that because of the price being quite inexpensive but I love the colours used

& in english too like majority of Etude House products ~ sorry I didn't realize how blurry the bottom of the picture was for these >.< ~
I will double check next time I take the pictures before throwing them into my recycle bin


ETUDE HOUSE FACE CONDITIONING CREAM LIGHT SPF 25/PA ++

This is a quick and easy make-up boosting cream that smoothly conditions skin with its light and soft texture for a makeup-ready complexion

[DIRECTION] after applying toner, spread a certain amount of Face conditioning cream light evenly onto face

2.54 oz  /  75g


      -     Etude House, Korea

SORRY THE INGREDIENTS LIST TURNED OUT BLURRY >_<" & I ALREADY THREW AWAY THE PACKAGING A WHILE AGO T_T ~


& Korean ingredients too ~ though you can't see it that clearly :(




though the packaging may not be the most sturdiest I have bought but one thing Etude house wins by far is the cutesy packaging ~ this doesn't follow the whole pink princess fairytale like packaging like their makeup products or their animal themes but it definitely is 'cute' with a hint of sophistication there... HOWEVER I love the different typography used on the back and the different font sizes makes it more interesting than if it was all in one font and one size... Sorry my obsession with typography and packaging needs to stop, but hey I studied graphic designs in college for a reason haha XD ~




Squeeze tube ~ I have a love/hate relationship, you can get all the product out but sometimes you squeeze out too much T_T

But the actual product... the texture is quite dry which is understandable because this is the 'light' version & it's meant to be better for oily/combination skin which is the skin type I have.
When I first got this I purely used it as a primer because I have loads of moisturizers already & I prefer a more hydrating moisturizer... however, this as a primer made my makeup melt off even quicker and left it going blotchy which I never had any problems with my hourglass primer and touch in sol...
Then I used it on days as just a sunscreen without any makeup but it left my skin feeling quite suffocated and broke me out the next day to these little pimples around my jaw and side of my nose -.- So I used it as a moisturizer because I saw people use that but it left my skin feeling too dry and tight ~ 

 
I squeezed out too much product :( this would have been probably enough for the whole face application
spread spread spread ~

then voila final when cream is absorbed ~ one thing I would say is it you don't have to wait ages for it to absorb and you can see a little brightening/whitening effect on the skin too ~


Consistency test:
it's basically like a light cream/emulsion milk texture which isn't sticky or runny, it has a slight powdery/matte finish texture to it though


 GOOD:
- Lightweight good for those who want a matte skin all day long 
- Gives an instant brightening/whitening effect 
- Squeezable tube so you can get all the product out
- Inexpensive
- Cute design on packaging

CONS:
- Formula too dry
- Leaves a powdery finish after a few hours of application (if no makeup is applied after)
- Not moisturizing enough as a moisturizer, doesn't work on it's own as a sunscreen, doesn't make my makeup last any longer as a primer
- Cheap packaging
- Overpowering perfume scent which STAYS on your skin for ages 

OVERALL

Other comments:
This product has a very heavily scented perfume smell to it which can be very irritating to those with sensitive skin ~ I don't usually break out due to scented products but I did find everytime I used this I had those very tiny pimples seeping through my skin ~ GRRR


WHO WOULD I RECOMMEND TO?___________________________________________
those who have really really oily skin which isn't acne prone or have sensitive skin and can stand the overpowering perfume fragrance, LITERALLY this is like perfume in a face cream form -.- 

Repurchase:  NO


Lots of love <3 ~
