[Review] Etude House CC Cream in Silky

I haven't had the time to post things because our house internet line had gone completely loopy and we had to keep asking them to fix it. But, it's stable...for now. So I'll try to put in as much reviews as I can as I had gone loopy myself and bought tons of makeup that my friends might do an intervention for me XD

Let's start aye ^^
This is mine ^^

I've actually had it for quite some time now (few months) and I got it off roseroseshop.com. Their store is amazing and the shipping is great. :) I don't remember the price but I think it was around GBP 10-13.

It claims to have 8 multi-functions in 1 (don't know if I wrote that correctly but bah) haha. [this are what it says on the box)
  • Anti-Aging
  • Stress Relief
  • Hydration
  • Whitening
  • Sun Protection
  • Tone Up
  • Smooth Texture
  • Luminosity
1) Anti-Aging and Stress Relief
I don't really know about it's anti-aging and stress relieving properties but I guess it's in the ingredients. sorry~
However, it does have a a scent that makes me happy when I apply it so it somewhat relieves my getting ready in the morning stress. ㅋㅋㅋ

2) Hydration
It's a water based cream so it moisturizes the skin. I use it after I apply my moisturizer so it's hard to tell if gives good hydration or not. I do notice it emphasized my dry areas though, but that can be prevented if you exfoliate well. ^^ (It's autumn so my face gets dry far too quickly for my liking)

3) Whitening
This I agree, it really brightens my skin so I often use it under my eyes first. Then, I would either apply it onto areas that need brightening or to my whole face. Depends on whether I'll be using any BB cream or foundation afterwards. I do secretly hope it magically whitens my skin in the long run. >__<

4) Sun Protection
The cream contains an SPF of 30/ PA++ so you can skip the sunscreen if you won't be under the sun the whole day. It's bad if you're planning to take any flash photography because it will just reflect the light and make you look bad. :(

5) Tone Up and Smooth Texture
hmmm..This seems to relate about making your face feels smoother after application. It makes a good make-up base or primer. XP

6) Luminosity
It suppose to give you a healthy kinda glow which I like because my skin is normally dull and gloomy so it makes me look fresh when I use it. ~happy girl~

Swatches on my hand and face :)

It has micro capsules that burst when you rub them

You'll end up with this colour

Then blend it more
On ma face

bare faced with redness and dark eye circles

hard to find the same lighting

The redness is gone and under eye circle is brightened up a little bit

I still have to use some concealer under my eyes.
It has a really light coverage compare to bb creams and I actually use this on a day to day basis.

I would totally repurchase it, maybe in glow but I also want try the other cc creams in the market. ^^
Though I do love my etude house. ㅋㅋ

I hope you guys enjoyed this review now. Bye~ :))
