Review of Etude House Correct & Care CC Cream 8 in 1 Glow and Silky

Again I'm lagging behind with my blogging >.<
I need to come up with a Speech for school and it's driving my anxiety up overdrive!

Okay to the point! I have been Using the Etude House Correct and Care CC Cream Lately , So now I can finally review them for you.

Etude House 8 in 1 Multi-Function Correct and Care CC Cream 



The 8 functions are:

• Anti-Aging
• Stress Relief
• Hydration
• Whitening
• Sun Protection (SPF30 PA++)
• Tone-up
• Smooth Texture
• Luminosity

The come in tubes with pumps (35g or 1.23 oz)
Very Compact and can easily fit in your cosmetic bag.





These don't come with an option of any shades, since it's supposed to change to match to your skin tone. What I do like about the Etude House CC Cream is that is comes with a choice of finish, Silky or Glow

When you pump it out it comes out as a white cream, then slowly adapts to your skin color.

Coverage is Light - Medium, However I use it as a base under my foundation during the day so I get the coverage and benefits of a CC Cream.

Which Finish to Choose?
It's up to your preference, 
I love the Silky finish and I definitely use it over the Glow
Living in a Hot Tropical place and it can get humid and the Silky finish helps prevent that shiny look.
If your skin is on the dry side I would go with Glow if you want that dewy finish

I find it lighter on my skin than the Skin79 BB Cream ,which why I have been using the Etude House CC Cream more lately, it also has a higher SPF





Tip: Using SPF in the day is very important ( the sun rays can reach you through windows)
but it doesn't look too well with flash photography, so if you are going to a night event try to avoid it  or too much of it. Another option is to put foundation over it.





Warning: Don't Forget the Sunblock..
My mom got stuck in traffic for a significant amount of time in direct sunlight with her windows up and AC on. The UV rays penetrated the glass and her face ended up getting severely burned and damaged. It was not the normal sunburn,  she had dark pigmentation on both cheeks for 2 years and not to mention the unseen skin damage it may have caused. So I always remind her to put on unblock, so now she never forgets her bb or cc cream. So I always stress the importance of Sunblock!

Etude House BB Magic Balm Review

This BB Cream comes in a jar instead of a pump or tube like they usually do.
It also comes with a mini foundation brush (^_^) its really soft, you should use a bigger brush for faster application.





It is packaged in a shiny iridescent box.
Writing on the box:
"Skin protection from environmental and UV damage, BB Magic Balm promotes natural looking coverage that nourishes, soothes and corrects skin tone. Includes brush for clean and convenient application that delivers pore safe oil control and porcelain smooth complexion."

description from Etude House Global site:
Formulated for Sensitive Skin
Sparkling Clear Complexion
Skin Clarifying Formula

Active Ingredients:
Chamomile Extract, Aloe Vera Gel, Centella Asiatica, Grape seed oil.

SPF 30/PA+++ ( very important to me since I live in a sunny location)

Here are the swatches on the back of my hand: Before, Application, and After I spread it out
Smiley face and Heart are for reference




Coverage is sheer - medium, good for layering it doesn't feel cakey.
I assumed it would be waxy, but it is nice and creamy.
It only comes in one shade which is pretty light, but you can always layer powder on top for more
coverage or to darken it a bit.
I do recommend layering it to make it last longer.
There is a compact from the same line ( BB Magic Pact ) and that comes in 2 shades

As for the Skin clarifying formula I will have to continue using it to reap those benefits.
So hopefully it delivers.

Intro & Haul

Hey, welcome to my very first post.
My blog will mostly be product reviews for now
but will also include some randomness
Take a look at the "About Me" & "Intro" section to learn a bit about me ^.^

I decided to make my first post a haul.
I recently bought a bunch of Korean products.
Which includes some stuff from Etude House, Skin79, & Missha.
I really wanted to restock on BB Cream and ended up getting a couple of other things.

Anyways I got:
Etude House:
BB Magic Balm
BB Magic Pact
Moistfull Collagen Essence-in Foundation
Color Me Nude Lip Concealer

Skin79:
Super Plus BB (Hot pink)
The Oriental Perfect Cover BB Cream

Missha
M Perfect Cover BB Cream (shade #23)

I also got some other things not pictured,
I'm not sure if I'm selling those or not, I always get extra just incase someone wants one (my mom, relatives or friends) plus it saves on shipping.
the other things I got were:
The gold version of the skin79 cream,
Skin 79: Diamond Prestige BB, Absolute Total BB cream, All Day Sun powder,
Super Plus BB (silver)
Homme triple action bb cream for men (had to get something for the bf)
Missha: BB boomer & M BB cream
So if i end up keeping them I'll do reviews for those also.

For those who don't already know BB stands for Blemish Balm.
It was supposedly first used as an after-surgery cream.
It covers and helps the skin heal at the same time, then it was later manufactured as a beauty product.

Its like an all purpose foundation/base, some people use it as a base or use it alone.it offers coverage and also certain benefits to the skin like sun protection, whitening, evening complexion and etc.
There are many types of BB creams out there with different benefits, ingredients and functions. I personally love the SPF it is very convenient!
Well I'll be doing the reviews for these very soon, so check that out.
Bai bai!
