Hellooo Lovelies~

~*~*~ So the time has come again for another CC cream review. I know it hasn't been long since this blog started, but I think it's kind of weird that there's been no BB reviews and only CC's. haha. Oh well! I will do a BB review soon I think, but until then meow~ here's the CC Review.

Today I have Etude House's CC cream with me!




For more info on CC creams clicky here!

The 8 benefits Etude's CC claims:

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


The picture doesn't show really well, but the CC does contain tiny, tiny black specks inside which are supposed to oxidize to a color that matches your skin tone after it's spread.


As a basic comparison to Tony Moly's Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream

Etude House's CC... whitens better and more naturally, oxidizes quicker, oxidizes better to match skin tone, slightly better coverage, less sticky texture after application

Tony Moly's CC... has better priming abilities, makes a better makeup base, more luminous and glossy finish, more moisturizing




     Likes: Etude's CC is sheer, but "still provides a bit of coverage" sheer unlike Tony Moly's Luminous Pure Aura. I like that it preps my skin up and conceals my gigantic pores lol. I love it's whitening ability! It's not the temporary kind where the whitening effect is gone after the product is cleaned off. I have way darker complexion on my forehead because I seem to tan there better and I guess I also walk with a slight angle to my head and the sun just hits my forehead more. haha. Anyways, after using it for a month, it has improved the skin tone on my forehead and my complexion there is definitely a lot lighter!
    Dislikes: I think the only thing I don't really like about this CC is that it accentuates flaky skin. This CC is definitely moisturizing and it does an okay job priming your skin (provided that your skin is in a normal condition), but if you happen to have a dried spot or two on your face, it's definitely going to make it more noticeable if you apply this CC on that spot.

     Final Thought: 4.5 rating for this CC overall! I do really like it and prefer it a lot more than the Tony Moly one, but it's not quite a 5 yet for me. I'm satisfied with the amount of coverage it gives being a CC cream and all, but I wish it was a better makeup base. It doesn't make me feel like my make up just glides on perfectly after I have this CC on like the Tony Moly one makes me feel. I still highly recommend this CC however.

On a slightly separate (but related note), right now Junniku is having a giveaway for this CC cream so you can try your luck there. Maybe you can check out this CC for free. haha Never hurts if its free!
