Annyeonghaseyo! eotteohge dangsin-eun?^^ CC cream is getting more popular today, so yes, I joined the craze to find out what's with cc creams. :) I decided to try Etude House's CC cream in Silky first (yeah, I'm thinking of getting another one but still looking for reviews).
I wanted the glow version too, but I'm afraid it will not suit my combination-oily skin especially with our hot and humid weather (yes even if its already rainy season now, its still hot most of the time -_-) So yes, I decided to try the silky version. The packaging is simple and pretty, as expected from Etude House.^^
For more info about this cc cream, let the following photos do the talking.:))
(Photos above are not mine^^)
CC Cream is basically something that corrects and has more skin care benefits, if you want more coverage/ makeup, then you may use BB cream. :)
This is P798 in Etude House PH stores. Got mine from Kkochipida :)
The pump is good and dispense just the right amount of product you need.
This cc cream is also white at first with tiny beads ( color capsules?) but blends and adjusts to your own skin color.
Eyebrow pencil + EH CC Cream + EH Water color blusher + lip balm.
What I like:
- It has spf 30/ PA ++
- 8 in 1 functional effects
- Packaging, I like it white, simple and clean looking.
- The pump is good
- Information and direction for use is provided in English
- Scent is okay
- Oil control is okay, its pretty fair if I'm in an air-conditioned room but if I'm outside, I still have to blot.
- Semi matte finish but there is still a hint of dewy/ glow^^
- Gives some pore coverage
- Does not oxidize on my skin
- It didn't break me out
- It feels light on skin and its not sticky.
- Its texture, it not too creamy nor too watery. Its easy to apply and blend.
- One or two pumps are enough.
- Locally available :)
What I don't:
- My skin may get too white if applied too much or not blended properly.
CC cream has a sheer coverage, so it can't really cover much like pimples, scars or dark spots. It can be used alone if you have a pretty good skin or during your nice skin days (what did I say? :O ) but if not, you can use it as a base and put bb cream on top. :) Use a moisturizer on dry areas before applying this. So far I can't say that I love it to the point that I would throw away my bb creams, but I like it. :) I sometimes use this alone, or pat on a little bb cream on top. Let's just say, I use different things according to my mood or whatever I feel like using.^^ I'm still curious about the Glow version though and would like to try it. (Can anyone throw a sample for me? lol. haha) Okay till here. See you on my next post. :)
