Etude House: Correct & Care CC Cream Glow

Second CC Cream Review!!

I'm not sure if some of you read my CC cream review by The Saem and some of you might remember that I couldn't use that because I broke out which made me sad since I waited for it to come in the mail for a long time lol.

So what are the functions of this CC cream? It has 8 in 1 functions, according to the box:

- Anti-Aging
- Stress Relief
- Hydration
- Whitening
- Sun Protection (SPF 30/PA++)
- Tone-up
- Smooth Texture
- Luminosity

This formula is more like a primer than it is a BB cream since this doesn't really provide any color coverage, its just like a cream with extra skincare benefits.

I'm not sure if your supposed to mix it with BB cream, foundation or just apply it directly onto your skin but I prefer to put it directly on instead of diluting whatever product I choose to put on afterwards. If you choose to only use the CC cream by itself then your face will be abnormally pale lol.

 Its quite small and it has a pump!

Its smaller than I expected but still worth the price. I've never really tried any products from Etude House except for the sheet masks and they aren't very good... lol. But I like this product and the packaging is always super cute and pretty.

I'm not sure if you can see it but there are little black flecks in the cream

I have to say that a little goes a long way, when I first got this product I was kind of like "oh its so small, I'm going to have to use a little at a time" but a little does go a long way, it just spreads out really well. Its that time of year where my skin is overly dry so this wouldn't be enough for me to moisturize my skin (moisturize and then put this on top) but I like this a lot! 

I'm not actually sure if it does all the things it claims it does (have to use it longer to find out) but I feel like the texture in my skin feels smoother when I put on foundation on top of this.

So Yes! Give this a try guys its definitely worth the price and it didn't break me out (unlike the saem one... lol)

Online Shopping Haul (small)

Think I was dead did you!? lol

Sorry for the lack of updates, school has kept me busier than I thought and when I do have down time I'm usually catching up with my friends :P

So I decided to do a small haul on things I bought online recently ^__^

From Asos:

Most (I think all actually) of the items I bought on sale so I don't think most of these things are available anymore...

 Earrings!

I recently noticed that my ear holes (is that right? ear... piercings?) lol are uneven, they are a lot higher than they should be. Well that's what happens when your mom's friend has a ear piercing gun in their purse and decides to pierce it on a boat >.< good parenting...

 French Connection Earrings!
I bought all stud earrings

 Floral Stud Earrings!

 Cozy Knit Sweater ^__^

I've been trying to stock up on cozy sweaters this season lol I have no idea why but they are comfortable and I haven't seen a blue one like this before! So I was pretty happy that I got this :D

 Simple Casual Pull-Over Sweater

I was pretty happy that I received my Asos order until....

I ordered this pair of earrings
and then they broke when I tried them on, WTF!!!!!!!!!
Gonna try to glue them to see if it helps T_T
No wonder they were on sale...

From Ebay:

 Another CC Cream!
Let's see if this will break me out...

I ordered some more earrings from ebay but they haven't arrived yet >.< hopefully soon!

The Saem: Gem Miracle Black Pearl CC Cream


Waited three weeks for this to come!

Sorry for the lack of updates! School starts soon so I have to prepare for that >.< I'm falling behind on some of my beauty posts which I'll try my best to post soon. AND! because its back to school time I'm going to go back to school shopping sooon! Please bear in mind that because I get cold easily I'm going to focus on more wintery items like sweaters lol. Thanks!

So I've never used a CC cream before and I wanted to give it a try. I had heard that The Saem one was pretty good and pretty affordable so I decided to try it. I ordered it off ebay and it arrived in three weeks.

What it says it corrects (according to the ebay description): Moisturizes, whitens, wrinkle, radiance, moisture, nutrition, illumination, tone correction, texture correction and sun screen (SPF 50)

Interesting bottle design

I like that this bottle has a pump plus its a pretty hefty bottle, it is not small at all and of course the packaging of this product is really well done, feels more expensive than it really is and I'm pretty sure this will last you a long time.

 Sorry for the blurry photo but I'm sure you are smart enough to figure out what is happening lol

In a way I like the way it dispenses but it would be a lot easier if you could pump it directly onto your hand instead of contaminating the lid but that's me personally, plus its a cool design.

 I think you're meant to mix it with a foundation or BB cream lol

When I tested it out on my hand it perfectly matched my skin (turned from white to my skin color) but when I put it on my face super white... lol.

It has a thick but light texture, It felt pretty oily while I was putting it on my skin and it also has a nice scent but to me it felt a little overwhelming

Not only that I went out for a few hours (like 4) and when I got home I noticed some dry patches (especially in between my eyes and near my mouth) which annoyed me a little.

 annnnd Broke out lol

I used it a few times to make sure it that it was breaking me out and not other things (like getting my period lol) but unfortunately the product does break me out.

So obviously I'm not going to use this again even if I did try to mix it with BB cream and foundation I would still break out so.. yeah.. not using this again! I don't want to discourage you from buying this, of course you know everybody has different skin so it might work for you!
