REVIEW : Whitening Milky Soft Cream by Onsaemeein

Hello guys. I'm back to do another quick review about a product I've been loving the past few days. Actually, this soft cream is part of the skin care gift set that I purchased months ago because it's pretty much discounted. Raise your hands if you do the same thing too. Yes?  Well, let's continue this review right here.

What's it about?
This is basically a soft cream with milk-like consistency. According to Althea Korea's website, it is meant for people who want an instant whitening effect, an elegant base make up and those who want to make their skin tone naturally lighter and smoother.

How to Use this?
As part of your make up, use this in between your skin care routine and your foundation. It serves like a primer that tones the skin prepping it for the makeup process.
As part of your skin care routine, I suggest putting this after your moisturizer to create an  instant whitening effect and at the same time cares for the inner skin blemishes likes scars and other skin pigmentation.

SIZE : The white tub contains 50 ml.







Just drawing a line here. No product applied yet.

On the right side, this is how the product looks on my hand.

The product needs time to apply to be fully absorbed in the skin.

Viola. Notice the right side of my hand. Lines and skin texture looks better and brightened.




PACKAGING: The product comes in white plastic tub that also has a white lid cover. Very straightforward and nothing fancy.

TEXTURE : From the name itself, it has this milk-like consistency that is also very similar to a cream used for baking. Since this is on the heavy side, I suggest to apply this gradually.

PRICE: This costs P390 on Althea's website.


My Final Thoughts
I have to be honest that I really didn't like this soft cream at first. I was somehow confused if it's meant as a whitening cream or a moisturizer. Besides, I had some difficulty because the consistency was on the heavy side so it really felt uncomfortable on the skin literally. I needed some minutes to evenly apply this on the skin and waited again for the cream to be fully absorbed. How stressful. (True story)

After months of trying this again, I discovered good ways how to make it work. First, I use this like a primer combined with my moisturizer. This soft cream just gives an even base before putting on makeup. Second, I use this as my night cream to boost hydration and brightening especially if I have some events to attend to soon. It does help with brightening the skin instantly. Third, I use this as a whitening cream from my elbows and knees and other parts of the skin that need whitening somehow.

Overall, I'm happy and satisfied with this product. Good thing I gave it a go again. I'm amazed how it delivers and how it makes my skin glowing, radiant and smooth. Anyhow hope you find this helpful guys. That's it for me. As I always say, choose to be happy. Till next time. See you in my next review entry again.

REVIEW : Miracle Fit Essence Concealer

Hi everyone. Today, I have another review about a good concealer that's good for everyone to use daily. As you all know by now, I come from the Philippines so wearing foundation is really uncomfortable especially on hot and humid days. I've learned this technique from my fave Youtuber Joan Kim. She recommended using a good concealer as your trusted foundation. Gladly guys, it works wonders. Please try it. Anyhow, let's get to know more this concealer right here first.

What's it about?
This name is the Miracle Fit Essence Concealer by Secret Key. It has SPF 30 / PA ++ also. It claims to cover skin blemishes quickly giving this healthy look. Additionally, it has green tea extract and green tea seed oil to promote hydration and moisture.

Notice the right side. My skin has become whiter and the surface looks smoother as well.

BEST POINTS
* Whitening
* Sunblock protection
* Wrinkle care benefit

SHADE: I have here color 23 which is the natural beige.
TEXTURE: It is very light and easy to blend in the skin. Also, it is easy to pile and layer on the skin for that added coverage.
PACKAGING: Nothing fancy and just pretty straightforward.
COVERAGE: It's like from light to medium coverage. 


My Overall Thoughts
Well, another winner right here. Actually this product reminds me of the famous Missha's The Style Under Eye Brightener. It looks almost the same from its packaging actually. However, this one here is much much better because of its skin care benefits as well. 

Well, I've been using this for about two months or so as my go-to foundation and it really doesn't disappoint. If you're on the hunt of a good and reasonable concealer, then you must try this here.

REVIEW : CAOLION PORE WHITE CAKE PACK

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today, I have here a review about this famous Pore White Cake Pack from Caolion. This product is included in my latest haul from Althea Korea website. I used this instantly after receiving and tested it out before writing my honest review right here.

What's it about?
This white cake pack is a  cream like consistency that is meant to tighten the pores. It also claims to give your skin elasticity, moisture and brightening effects as well. It's also responsible for wrinkle care and  has anti-aging benefits.

PACKAGING: It comes in a simple black tub and also has a spatula. Nothing fancy and just pretty straightforward.

TEXTURE: It's slightly grainy and thick. But it feels soft once applied on the skin and doesn't feel rough and painful whatsoever.

SCENT: It has a slight hint of menthol perhaps but not very overpowering.

EFFECT: It feels very light on the skin and has this cooling sensation. Very refreshing and relaxing on the face. I did notice and instant brightening and squeaky clean face afterwards.


How to use
Just apply this evenly on your clean and dry face avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for 10 -15 mins. Rinse clean with lukewarm water. 






How the product looks like exactly


Putting the product on my face :) Hello there

After 15 minutes, this is how my face looks. Tadaah~  clean and glowing ^ ^
My Overall Thoughts
I do like this mask very much. It's because it gives me that instant healthy glow. My face becomes whiter somehow. I do enjoy that cooling and moisturizing effect that it has. Plus, doing the Korean skincare routine is much easier because the products are easily absorbed more in the skin. Also, my BB cream / foundation looks so much better after I use this cake pack.  

The only downside of this is it doesn't do much in minimizing the pores on the skin. That's basically it.  Will I repurchase this? Yes only if it is on sale or if it comes in groups like the the trendy box because it becomes much cheaper that way.

Thanks for visiting this blog entry. Hope you find it helpful. Let's share ideas then and be friends. Till next time.
