Memebox SUPERBOX #52 THUMBS UP! BEAUTY BOX ~ Unboxing Haul
Who's heard of all these beauty boxes that are coming out? I mean I first heard of birchbox and then all these other ones; glossybox, ipsy, jolie box, memebox and etc.
I have always been interested in trying one out and was contemplating purchasing memebox from Korea through easybuy7 but then never got round to it ~

Then memebox announced that they had a global version but I think when it was first launched it was only within the USA if I am correct or maybe I just misunderstood ~ then I found out that they shipped worldwide and wanted to give it a shot ~ I bought two boxes, the thumbs up beauty box and also the sleeping beauty memebox which hasn't been shipped out yet ~



I have heard that although all the products are Korean in the worldwide version but they are different from the Korean version which I am fine about since I didn't mind exploring new brands ~

Unlike birchbox, glossybox and etc THIS IS NOT A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BOX!! you purely pay the price of one box and that's it and they have many different boxes for you to choose from ~

The shipping I would say was fast actually ~ it was shipped out on the 16th September and arrived on the 24th September in the UK and I paid for standard shipping too O_O but that's a good thing since I don't have to wait forever 

Cute Hot Pink Box GAHHHHHHH SOOOO CUTEEEE ~ <3
Everything is so neatly packed in the box ^^ ~ not messy at all <3
Overview of what's inside kekeke ~ <3


must I say I LOVE THE COLOUR OF THE BOX, yes I am a sucker for pink but this hot pink is so attention grabbing and cute at the same time ~

The superbox claims to have all full sized products so no sample sizes (but honestly I like sample sizes more so if I don't like a product I can use it up quicker) and the products within this box has been voted by people of previous memebox customers of the products they want to appear and see again in their beauty box... since I was never a customer before I decided to give this one a shot anyways XD




1) Hope Girl 3D Powder Blusher #01 Sexy Rose 5g

Product description:
This easy to use blusher creates a subdued polish finish that creates a more 3 dimensional face shape for the look of a sharper jaw line and smaller sized face. Allantonin and vitamin E derivatives protect your skin against external irritation and keep skin glowing and healthy.

How to use:
Apply it to the skin with a gentle light touch using the built in puff attached to the case

The packaging of this product feels cheap but hey it still looks cute though O_O ~ However although the product looks really pretty in the pan when you actually apply it onto the skin it has a lot of shimmer or should I actually say GLITTER... now I don't mind shimmer or glitters but the glitters are literally all over the blusher and are quite visible too... I prefer a sheen or a matte blush so unfortunately I don't think me and this would get on very well (though I haven't actually tested it out on my skin yet)






2) Kocostar Nail Therapy 4g x 2 each

Product description:
The Kocostar Nair Therapy was created to provide simple solution to maintain healthy looking nails. This product took great measures to prevent the nail essence from drying off, and we developed nail globes to prevent any contact with surrounding air. It will allow nails to deeply absorb all the nutrients, resulting in softened cuticles and strengthened nails

How to use:
Wear the nail therapy masks over each of your finger and rest for 30-60 minutes for best results

I am not huge into nails, I must say I am blessed with quite healthy and strong nails that grow long without breaking off, but there are times especially during winter where I would get rough and dry skin and I think this would come into handy when those times comes ~ when my cuticles are feeling rough I will try this and do a review



3) Real Beauty Serum 50ml
Randomly selected from A. Morning Dew Bamboo Serum (Green), B. Ultra Waterful Serum (White), C. Moist Soothing Rose Serum (Pink), D. Bouncy Firming Serum (Yellow)

Product description:
Made from various organic ingredients such as aloe vera, green tea, bamboo water and bulgarian rose water, this all-natural serum will put an end to your troubles over dry, lusterless, sensitive and saggy skin. This serum is very special because it's actually made from collaboration with Real Beauty's fans, and thus it's greatly prized for containing only the most gentle and most vital nutrients beneficial to your skin!

How to use:
Pump out 2-3 times and apply the serum from the inner face towards the outer contours of your face. Gently pat it in for better absorbance.

If you haven't guessed from my hauls and reviews I am a complete skincare junkie, though I love makeup too because of the pretty colours I love trying skin care way more since if you don't have nice skin no foundation, BB cream, CC cream and etc will save it to be honest ~ I received B. Ultra waterful serum and though I don't have dry skin I am looking forward to trying this out once I finish my Laneige water bank essence


*IMAGE MISSING FROM CAMERA ~ I WILL TAKE ANOTHER ONE & FILL IN THIS SPOT HOPEFULLY BY TOMORROW T_T* SORRY IT'S QUITE LATE IN THE UK RIGHT NOW... PAST MIDNIGHT AND THE IMAGES WON'T TURN OUT AS CLEAR AND NICE ~ APOLOGIES!!! BUT I WANTED TO POST THIS UP BEFORE I SLEEP ~

4) Rivercombe Sebum Control Convenient Compact 8g

Product description:
Touch up anytime with this Sebum Control Convenient Compact specially designed to mattify oily skin and control oil slicks throughout the day. This compact instantly mattifies with results that last for up to 8 hours, revealing a natural, flawless complextion with zero shine all day long. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and blemishes, and gives you a perfectly smooth complexion.
How to use:
Lightly tap puff onto the compact. Apply over the entire face for a matte finish
Because I have oily/combination skin I always tend to set my makeup with powder around the T-zone, chin and hairline and sometimes even all over depending on how my skin feels, though I do have quite a lot of powders (including powder foundations) I am looking forward to seeing how this perform, I swatched it on my hand and it feels really soft, it reminds me of the Innisfree No Sebum Compact but this has colour in it... I am currently using my Urban Decay Naked skin loose powder and I love that but we will see if this compares to that




5) O& Soap Berry Cleanser 100ml

Product description:
A foaming cleanser with frothy, fine and creamy foam with Soap Berry known for it's natural cleansing property and carbonated water to gently cleanse the impurities and makeups and to reveal your natural luminosity on your skin.

How to use:
Apply evenly to face and neck, massage, and rinse off with warm water

The packaging reminds me a lot of The body shop stuff... or is it just me? anyways that's not the point ~ I have yet to try this out yet but from the sounds of this it just sounds like a regular cleanser anyways, I am not fussed about cleansers as long as they clean the skin well XD This is probably the one product I am least happy about being in here but we never know




6) Miguhara B.P Cream 30ml
Product description:
This dual-function cream serves both as a BB cream as well as a primer. It keeps skin silky and even-toned, while controlling excessive sebum through its oil free formula.

How to use:
Apply all over the face, especially over any visible pores

Again I have only tried this on the back of my hand so I am not sure how well it covers pores but judging from the hand application I am liking this... I think the coverage would be light though but it dries fast into a powdery finish and isn't sticky at all, usually when I try out foundations or BB creams I test them on the back of my hand first and they would be thick and creamy which can be sticky but that's not the case for this one... I am probably most looking forward to trying this out because I have quite visible pores so anything that would help cover them I am up for it hahah! 




7) Herbclinic Rice Bran Powder 80g

Product description:
100% RAW Rice Bran powdered into a product, this Rice Bran Powder pack brings you the best of what Mother Nature has to offer! Mix 1 tsp of rice bran powder with milk or any other liquid/gel type natural ingredient to create a mask pack. It will deliver intense nourishment and instant revival to your skin after a tiring day! You'll be able to feel a visible difference the next morning.

How to use:
Mix up 1 tsp of the rice bran powder with 1 tsp of oatmeal, black bean or brown rice and an adequate amount of milk until the mixture becomes relatively thickened. It's even better if you could use a steam towel to open up all your pores before mask application. Then, apply a skin toner or essence to prevent dehydration and thickly spread the mixture over your face. Rinse off after 15-20 minutes.

This sounds really fun, I have always heard of rice bran powder used in cosmetics especially during the olden times like Joseon Dynasty times haha! But I was always too lazy to buy rice bran powder, I wonder if this is just regular rice bran powder or if it's slightly different
Anyways I will do a review of this surely hahaha and show you all how this works and feels :3


AND THAT IS ALL THE PRODUCTS ^O^ ~ 

Overall Thoughts on Memebox:
I am actually impressed, but then again I think it's probably because I haven't received any other memebox so I am not sure what the star products was before, I saw on instagram and other reviews saying this was disappointing? so I'm guessing they were expecting other products then... But for me I like majority of the stuff and will use and test them out to see if I love anything and report back on these products

I think it's definitely worth the price for all these products, like I said I like samples but sometimes I like to receive full sized items too because it feels like I am getting the most out of what I am paying for ~

I think I will be quite addicted in these boxes... which I hope I won't be because I will be starting university on the 29th September >_< and I will need money for books and things too :( But I want to try more of these boxes

If you like more famous mainstream Korean brands you will most likely not like this box much, since I haven't heard of any of these brand names before, but if your like me and like to explore and try new stuff then memebox will be perfect for you, but don't worry memebox also do featured brands which are more well known like Tony Moly, Etude House and Holika Holika :)


In the meantimes, take care <3 ~

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

Duration of use: 1-2 months
Price Paid: USD $13.95
Application: Lightweight cream formula
Fragrance: highly scented overpowering floral perfume fragrance
Packaging: 3/5
Texture: 3/5
Formula: 2/5
RATING: 2/5


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 ~

REVIEW: Etude House Sparkling Tocs! All in One Gel ~
I bought this a while back after I saw it launch, I was intrigued because of the packaging & the gel itself looks so cool with the floating yellow beads inside the thick clear gel ^o^ ~ (Yes, I'm a sucker for packaging and the way things are presented)

Of course I didn't just buy it for it's pretty and cute design though, the concept of this did catch my eye, it's a gel that you are meant to use for 7 days straight for 1 month and you only use this for 7 days once a month that is, so in total it would last you around 3 months


 
Product comes with the outer box, the product and a spatula ~ so adorable <3 

I believe you can use this day & night especially if you have really dry skin and if your skin tends to be flakey and peeling when you apply on make-up ~ but I only use this at night time since in the morning it would be too much for my skin ~


 
Thick gel with millions of tiny yellow beads ~

& a up close image to see the texture and beads ^^

This gel is leaned for those who have more normal/dry/very dry skin and even though my skin is pretty much the opposite, I have oily/combination skin during summer time, my skin gets really dehydrated, Also it is meant to brighten and clarify the skin as well which is something I lack in ~ furthermore Etude House has posted their own little check list as to whether or not you would think this is suitable for your skin


CHECK LIST
1) Bed time is irregular
2) I feel sleeping time is not enough all the time
3) I eat instant food/junk food up to or more than 3-4 times a week
4) I use the computer for more than 4 hours a day
5)I often feel indigestion
6) Make-up does not fit or sit well on my skin
7) My skin doesn't improve anymore even though I use expensive high end cosmetics
8) I hardly eat any vegetables that contain vitamins & chlorophyll
9) I often drink processed beverages e.g. soda
10) Do people around you ask "are you tired" a lot?

if you are related to more than 5 of the things above on the checklist it means your skin feels tired
         - Etude House, KOREA

For me I have checked around 5-6 of the check list above including 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and also to an extent 7 as well since I find my skin could improve a little bit :( all in all my skin is lacking in luminosity rather than dryness ~

The main magical ingredients in this product is carbonic acid and lemon extract with vitamin C to help moisturize and making the skin look more clear and brighter ~


Carbonic Acid Massage Effect

Carbonic Acid melted in the transparent gel cream takes care of your skin clearly through massage effect

Lemon Extract with Vitamin C

Yellow lemon extract beads with rich vitamic make the skin completed softly by helping the turnover of dead skin cells

[DIRECTIONS]
  • Use this item for 1 week intensively when your skin look tired & exhausted 
  • Spread it on the face & neck fully with inserted spatula in the morning & evening instead of Toner, Essence, Cream etc    

 
Despite I only used this at night I stuck with the regime of using this for 7 days straight, using the spatula I took out about 6-7 scoops of the product which was just the right amount to get through each day ~ 
As usual ~ the consistency test, although it appears thick it's quite watery when in contact with your skins temperature too ~ 


The gel itself reminds me sort of like aloe vera gel in that thick gel consistency... (maybe even a little thicker) but once you start rubbing the gel into the skin it turns into a really watery and runny texture




 
 Applying on one scoop of gel with the spatula ~

spreaded out ~ the hand looks really wet and shiny and sticky and moist >.< ~ 

Then after a few minutes ...
TADA!!! completely absorbed in and skin looks more softer and brighter and glowing too ~ 


This does take a long time to fully absorb into the skin than per say your average moisturizing cream/emulsion and even longer than aloe vera gel, if you have ever used aloe vera gel you would know that it's not the easiest thing to absorb to the skin but this takes a good 10+ minutes O____O"
I guess in the mean time you can do facial massages on your face to stimulate blood flow, get rid of toxins build up & to slim the face too

I forgot to mention you can use this just on it's own as it is meant to be an 'all in one' gel, so after you have cleaned and toned you can use this straight up, I had used this with my serums and my eye cream as well which may also be the leading factor as to why it took that long to absorb into my skin



Can you read the ingredients list ~ I tried typing it up but the clear background was driving me nuts ~ >_< sorry!!!

GOOD:

 - Hydrates your skin really well
- Made my skin significantly smoother & softer after the 7 days of use
- Added more glow and luminosity to my skin
- Skin looks less tired
- Hasn't broken me out
- Smells really nice
- Has a cooling sensation when you are massaging your skin
- A simple all in one gel meaning no need for extra serum, essence, lotion, eye cream and etc

CONS:

- Takes a long time to fully absorb into the skin
- Feels really sticky whilst applying it on but goes away once it's absorbed
- Haven't noticed my skin tone becoming more clarified and transparent

OVERALL

 Duration of use: 7 days
Application: Thick gel formula
Price paid: USD $18.99
Texture: 1.5/5
Hydration: 5/5
Brightening: 2/5
Packaging: 5/5
Fragrance: 4/5 - it has a VERY VERY STRONG CIRTUS AND LEMON SCENT ~ I personally like it but if you don't like citrus smelling things this would irritate you
RATING: 3.8/5

Other Comments: 
I gave it a 3.8 because I like it a bit more than 3.5 & I would most likely repurchase this when my 3 months are up especially during the winter time but I can't give t a 4 yet just because I have only used it for my first month so far & also I really don't like the sticky texture whilst I am applying it onto my face >_<"

WHO WOULD I RECOMMEND TO?
If you have dry skin or any of the problems above on the checklist

Would I Repurchase? Yes

Lots of love~ <3

REVIEW: LANEIGE BB Cushion Pore Control Summer Edition
I'm sure if you are all interested in Asian makeup and skincare you would have somehow come across the terms BB/CC/Foundation cushions. Laneige has already released two already, first was their soothing bb cushion which has already been discontinued and then later on they came out with a whitening version. I have never tried either of them, since although I love Laneige products and saw this product advertised like crazy, I have read many reviews that Laneige BB cushions are very moisturizing on the skin and are more targeted towards dry skin.

 So when I heard they released a pore control version for summer 2014 I got overly excited and bought it straight away. I had really high expectations with this product actually due to a blogpost I read from liahyoo and before this, although, I have only reviewed one cushion foundation on this blog I have actually tried 3, the espoir nude slip cushion, iope air cushion and the etude house precious mineral any cushion. Honestly I was quite disappointed with them, they were all too heavy and thick on my face :( 
LANEIGE BB Cushion [Pore Control] SPF 50+ PA +++

Pore Control Cushion BB for a refreshing feeling with effects and properties such as "pore care + pore coverage + semi matt finish + long lasting + cooling effects + UV protection"
 
   1) - Contains LANEIGE Pore Tightening Essence's "Pore Purifying Complex" that takes care of pores, creating a fresh looking and supple finish without any greasiness on your skin
         - Takes care of pore troubles that can easily be caused by sebum oxidation from excessive sebum production and external pollutants
         - Normalizes the turnover of dead skin cells around pores for a better pore controlling effect

  2) - Excellent coverage of pores and uneven skin
         - The tight silicone elastomer fills in the gaps between pores and the soft focus powder, with an excellent diffused reflection, doubles the product's capability for an excellent coverage of pores and uneven skin.

  3) - It's powerful dual powder formula ( anti darkening + sebum control) offers a semimatte finish and makeup that lasts long for a supple finish without any greasiness all day long
         1. Anti Darkening Powder
              - Offers excellent absorption for long lasting makeup without darkening and a matte yet smooth texture finish
         
          2. Sebum Control Powder
              - A sebum control formula made of porous ball shaped powder that takes care of excessive sebum and oil on skin to suppress greasiness (shine free effect).

   4) - Fresh cooling sensation for a refreshing effect on the skin
          - Contains over 30% moisture and an exclusive puff with low moisture absorption, offering a fresh cooling sensation the moment the content touches the skin to soothe agitated skin
     
             -  LANEIGE, KOREA


I have used this a few times already and once when I went into London which I had to take the underground (subway/tube/metro?) and baring in mind for some reason London's underground or in fact transport system apart from taxi's DO NOT HAVE AIR CON >_<" or is it just me... or do they have it and don't turn it on because I am ALWAYS boiling like a piggy in a bus or the underground -_-, anyways aside from that I had walked around London in the beaming sunlight carrying my coat and heavy grocery shopping bags of japanese candy and sushi O_O and felt so sweaty and hot, when I finally reached my train back home I looked in the mirror since I have left the house and was surprised to actually see my foundation was still in place and were no signs of patchiness, it didn't budge at all!! and now that is saying something since majority of all foundations I have tried have melted off my skin or I would look like a grease ball, and I have probably tried every foundation in the market already ranging from mainstream drugstore brands such as; REVLON, MAYBELLINE, BOURJOIS to more high end like DIOR, CHANEL, BOBBI BROWN and etc. 

comes with a puff ~ which to me after a couple of uses should be thrown away since it is extremely hard to wash in my opinion ~ >_<"
The cushion inside ~
*shivers* but if you have never seen a cushion foundation before this is basically what it looks like ~ many many tiny holes in the sponge >_<"

  Likewise with all cushion foundations this comes with a compact case with a mirror and a separate tray for the air puff (I have already tested out all the cushions that the refills fit in all of the cases, for example the Laneige refills fit in the IOPE case as well... so if you don't want to buy a whole new cushion you can just buy the refill instead) 



press press press ~ 


Inside the cushion foundation is basically liquid foundation ^o^ ~ 


Press the puff into the product a few times in order to distribute the right amount of product to cover one side of the face ^o^ ~


This should be enough for 1 section of the face ~ I like to do 4 sections, Right cheek, Left cheek, Chin and Nose... I usually leave out the forehead because I don't have anything to cover there
~


 remember after you dispensed some product to pat it in the skin with tapping motions and DO NOT RUB since the whole purpose of this sponge is for you to tap the product in your skin to give you a more natural, long lasting and thin layer of product ~

 Laneige's packaging never fails to disappoint me ^o^ ~ thumbs up for you Laneige!
The lid is sooo cute, it's a light baby blue colour... hehe it looks more special and summery than the other packagings which are usually white :3 or maybe I just care too much about the packaging


REDNESS COVERAGE
As you can tell my bare hand has a lot of redness and uneveness ~ so I will be testing how well this would cover it up ~


This is one thin layer of the foundation and it covered up all of my redness making a smooth base ^^ ~


COVERAGE TESTING

Now I will be testing it's coverage ability to cover any blemishes/dark spots/acne scars/hyperpigmentation/freckles/moles and etc ~
I drew my hand with a black marker & let it set for a few minutes so it doesn't rub off in the process ~ 


With 1 layer of the product (pumped 3 times) pretty much all of the marker is gone ~ I'm actually really impressed by this 


2nd layer (with an additional 3 pump of product) you can not see the marker anymore ~



HOW TO USE:
1. Apply onto puff and smooth along the texture of skin. Then pat to increase adherence. Apply another layer to improve coverage
2. If there is no more content after you press the cushion with your finger, it means the product is finished. Replace with a refill 


CAN NOT FIND INGREDIENT LIST FOR PRODUCT... T_T
GOOD:
- Medium-High coverage, covers all of my acne scars and even dark circles
- Gives off a healthy semi matte & isn't too dewy or matte on skin
- Blends evenly and easily even when used as a touch up
- Long lasting even in humid and hot weather
- Good oil control
- Looks best if not set with any powder actually

CONS:
- Although the concept of a 'cushion foundation' is meant to be easy to use, the disadvantage to all BB cushions /cushion foundation forms is that they dry up much quicker than a foundation in a regular tube, bottle or jar
OVERALL:

 Duration of use: 1 month
Application: Cushion foundation
Price paid: $42.99 with free refill
Texture: 5/5
Hydration: 4/5
Pore Cover/Control: 5/5
Sebum/Oil Control: 5/5
Coverage: medium-full coverage (buildable)
Lasting ability: 6-7 hours (without touchups or setting with powder) 
 Fragrance: 4/5 (it's definitely got a scent to it if you put your nose right up to the product lol ~ well to me all the cushion foundations pretty much smell the same to me tbh O_O... it got a slight perfumey scent to it that isn't too strong, it smells floral with a slight sweetness added to it)
RATING 5/5

Other Comments:
This product leaves a slight sheen on the face, nothing compared to the Espoir, IOPE and etude house ones, but it's a subtle healthy glow so it's not entirely matte, I just wanted to point that out because the name is quite misleading and can easily be misunderstood for having a matte finish.
It also has a nice cooling effect to the skin and makes your skin look healthy and flawless, the coverage is actually surprisingly good considering the previous Laneige base products all have minimum coverage.


WHO WOULD I RECOMMEND TO?____________________________________________
Although this product is targeted more towards oily/combination skin, I would say this also works for dry/combination skin as well, especially if you get oily in your T-Zone and/or if you generally have large pores.


Would I Repurchase: Yes

  Take care ~ ♥
