REVIEW: Skinfood Mushroom BB cream

hi there, Korean makeup Lovers, here is another BB cream review: meet my Skinfood Mushroom Multicare BB cream.

Note: I won this at CMK giveaway :)
Regular price is around Php 1200

Here is the actual Photo:

SKINFOOD Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream contains aloe extracts, mushroom extracts. 

It is also known to contain adenosine and arbutin for a white skin. 

it's a BB cream that has three different functions and they are

wrinkle enhancement + whitening effects + ultraviolet rays protection. 

My Experience:

Strong points:

It has a medium coverage than other BB creams

the consistency is not too thick and not too water-like so a pea sized amount can go a long way.

it makes my skin look radiantly glowing (you can see in the picture above)

It is matte and helps make my skin look less oily but not dry 

It has the function of UV rays protection thus it can be an alternative your favorite sunblock

Weak points:

According to my research it contains Paraben (Here)

It is a little bit hard to blend

THANK YOU RED BERRIES!

Hello dears, if ever you have noticed last week, I blog about the Red berries lip paint and turn me pink (click HERE and HERE) and in my surprise Ms. Aura of Red Berries immediately message me after I post my blog review asking me to claim their simple appreciation treat. I find it really sweet and special for them to give me amazing treat. She actually let me choose what product I want to have either soap, lipstick or eye de stressing serum. I chose eye de stressing serum because I'm on my 5th year in BS Accountancy and I will definitely be needing this to combat my stress, eyebags and puffy eyes.. if you know what I mean = SLEEPLESS NIGHTS (0.0)

And today I have received it via  LBC. I paid Php 80 for the shipping but it is definitely nothing compared to it's SRP of around Php 400. Ms. Aura is really generous though.

I really want to thank Red Berries for being very nice and generous. I will make a review of this product after I finished my Etude House Eye's cream in Vanilla Moist. I'm on my 3rd week of using EH and probably I will make a blog review after one month of using it so watch for it. That's pretty much it see you on my next blogpost. :)

Review: Red Berries TURN ME PINK

Hey beautiful readers, as I promised on my last post I'll be starting to blog again. So here is my first REVIEW blog post for 2014.

Having pink lips is thing that every women like to have even men nowadays love to have pink lips.

 A year ago I purchased this little baby TURN ME PINK at Red Berries. I'm too curious to try their products. Their products looks really promising and effective since they got a lot of good feedback.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF DARK LIPS AND NIPPLES?

Ageing, pregnancy, menstrual problems, hormonal changes, and frequent use of lipstick can all speed up the accumulation of dark pigments and change the colour of your lips cheeks, and nipples from a natural pinkish to a dull, brownish colour.

INGREDIENTS:

HONEY
Honey has the ability to help lips retain moisture. It acts as a moisture barrier, protecting the lips from exterior factors that would strip the skin of their natural moisture. In this way, honey is a natural safeguard against dry and cracked lips.

TOMATO
contains large amount of vit c which helps the lips look young.

PINEAPPLE
for super mild exfoliations

 Product CLAIMS:

Safe for daily use

No greasy after-feel

Desired effects within seconds

Restores alluring sheer pink lips – lightens dull, discoloured lips & restores natural lip colour with continuous use

Prevents further darkening caused by lipsticks

Reveals softer, more kissable lips

Rich in antioxidants to protect your lips Lightens Darkened Nipples - naturally safe & gradually fades darkened nipples to restore their pinkish beauty, will not cause irritation and it does not stain bras or lingerie permanently

PRICE: 6grams Php 168

MY EXPERIENCE:

it glides smoothly on my lips. I used it every night to moisturized my lips. Upon applying, it has cooling effect that feels like menthol. It indeed reveals softer lips. Although I don't see any significant change in my lip color (maybe because on the first place I don't have dark lips ). All in all I love it as it gives me moisturize lips. Using it everyday prevents me from having chapped lips. I recommend it to my mother who experience chapped lips last December and she agrees that moisturizing effect of Red berries' turn me pink is really a good deal.

Will I purchase it again? Maybe. I am still looking for lippies that will eventually really turn my lips pink something like Lip Ice can do
