Review: ElishaCoy's Always Triple BB Cream


Hi, sweeties ♡

I'm back with another review. Today, I'm reviewing Alway Triple BB Cream from ElishaCoy. As always, I got a sample from Ebay to try it. a Sample of 4ml lasted me over 4 uses. So, first let's start with the package's indications:

Always Triple BBCream: This multifunctional product protects skin from the sun, improves wrinkles and whitens skin. It can be used as makeup base or foundation. Not only the product naturally tones skin but it also conceals any imperfections. Natural ingredients like royal jelly and caviar help to protect and improve skin.  Contains skin-soothing botanicals (Portulaca oleracea L. and Morus alba Linne) for sensitive skin.
✝ How to use: Apply liberally to all exposed skin at the end of your skin care routine and then gently pat to enhace absorption.
✝ Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Titanium Dioxide, Phenyl Trimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Arbutin, Zinc Oxide, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate Hexyl Laurate CaprylicCapric Glycerides, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tal, Hexyl Laurate, Butylene Glycol, Dicaprylate/Dicaprate Polysilicone-11, Silica, Beeswax, Dimethicone, Calcium Stearate, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin, Butylparaben, Propyl-paraben, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caviar Extract Malpighia Punicifolia (Acerola) Fruit extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract Morus Alba Root Extract, Fragance Dimethicone/Methicone Copolymer, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Royal Jelly Extract, Triethoxy-caprylysilane, Adenosine, Disodium EDTA, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499.
So, now that we have all the product's specification, let's head to the review:

▷ Texture: 1/5
I think this is one of the most downs of this BB Cream, its texture is TOO caky. When I put it into my skin, I just wanted to remove it already,. It didn't look o feel natural AT ALL. I think, the only reason why I kept using this BB Cream, was the fact that didn't have any other foundation to use at that time. So, yeah. It felt really bulky to me compared to other BB Creams. Very dissapointed.

▷ Coverage: 4/5
Always Triple BB did a good job covering my blemishes. It covered my mild to medium blemishes and some acne scars. It just doesn't work that well with new pimples, I must say. That's why I put it a 4 out of 5 and not a full score.

▷Oil Control: 4/5
Oil control was good, not the best thing ever, but good. Must say that I only used the BBCream, so the oil control can be improved with a powder or other product. It will be enough if you don't have such an oily skin as I do.


Overall: 3/5
I give this BBCream a three out of five. The fact that the texture was too unnatural is such a NO to me. Plus, the color was to grayish for my skin (as you can see in the picture above). But, I won't deny that it did cover my wrinkles, which surprised me because it should had been otherwiseits due to its caky texture. I guess, its dense texture is because of the SPF content in it (SPF30 PA++). But still, other BBcreams has sun protection and they are not as bulky as this one.

Anyway, I hope you found this review helpful. I would like to hear from you. If you have any question or experience regarding this or other BB Cream, leave it in the comment box below. I will answer them the soonest. Also, I'll be reviewing more BB Creams, so stay tuned.

Review: Elishacoy's Always Nuddy BB 24


Hi, sweeties ♡

It's been a while since my last post, like always lol I wanted to review a couple of BB Creams I recently bought, both are from Elishacoy. The first one I'm reviewing today is Always Nuddy BB 24. I got a sample from ebay, it lasted me for 4 uses. So let's first start with the description given by the package:

✝ Always Nuddy BB 24 is essential source designed to feel and look like your natural skin with a long lasting formula. Natural botanic extracts combined with minimized amount of harsh chemical ingredients to help sooth your skin. Suitable for trouble skin type. Excelent for protecting and improving the look of your skin. Gets absobed quickly without feeling greasy. Long-lasting formula protects your sensitive skin and covers any imperfections for all day long.


How to use: At the end of foundation makeup, use your fingers or a sponge to apply a small amount to your face in the order of cheeks, forehead and chin. Gently pat or blot your face to dry.
Ingredients: Sanghwang mushroom extracts, chamomile, portulas oleracea extracts, sodium hyaluroni acid, peach extracts. 
So now that we have all the products specifications. Let's head to the review:

 Texture: 5/5
The first time I tried this BB Cream, oh my god, It felt so good. Its texture is very smooth and soft. It was so nice to apply on my face. Plus, it didn't feel oily to the contact, just pure smoothness. I loved this BB Cream because of this.

Coverage: 3.5/5
Unfortunately, when the BB Cream or any foundation in general, if the feeling of it is too soft, it won't coverage that much. This BB Cream didn't cover much of my blemishes. And recently I broke out very bad, so I need full coverage, which this bbcream didn't give me. It cover some dark spots and acne scars, tho. But just the mild ones.

Oil Control: 4/5
I tend to have an oily skin so I was wondering whereas this bbcream would help me or not. It actually did. Not perfectly, but it did help me through the whole day. So if you have a combination of skin, this will suit you very well.



Overall: 4/5 
I think this BB Cream would be suitable for people who need from low to medium coverage and have a combination of skin. This BB Cream also has a long-lasting effect. I used it during my university days, so it can easily last you 8 hours (considering I only used the bbcream, not other product such as powder, etc.) I don't think I will repurchase it since I need a high coverage. Plus, I must say that this foundation doesn't count with SPF or any whitening or anti-wrinkle properties. So beware and take that in consideration when buying.

Hope this review helped. I'm gonna review the Always Triple BBCream from ElishaCoy next week, so stay tuned. If you have any question regarding this product or expierence with this bb cream you can post it in the comment box below.

Review: Elishacoy's Vita Capsule Cleanser


Hi, guys! I'm back after a long break lol. Well, today I'm gonna review a new Korean product. This time is Elishacoy's Vita Capsule Cleanser. I tried the 4ml presentation just to give it a try. It lasted me for four uses. Well, let's read the statements of this product, first:

Description:
Silky foam eliminates dirt, makeup residue, and unnecessary dead skin cells from skin and 10 different complex vitamin capsules provide nourishment for healthy and refreshed skin tone. “Vita Capsule Cleanser” to cleanse pores and to improve skin complexion. Perfect cleansing! Nourishing cleanser will provide energy and vitality for fatigued skin! 

  • 10 different vitamin complex (Vita Complex – 10) capsules break gently when using the 3D Spin Cleaner. They cleanse and provide vitamins to skin for healthy and vital skin tone. 
  • Contains soap leaf and root extract which creates foam just like soap, to develop silky foam as soft and rich as fresh cream each time the 3D Spin Cleaner rotates. Soft bubbles cover skin to gently eliminate dirt lodged in pores while exfoliating dead skin cells, leaving skin soft and beautiful. 
  • Ceramide 3 and aloe vera leaf juice that protect skin provide moisture to dull and fatigued skin so skin is soft and smooth after cleansing, without the sensation of tightness or dryness. 
  • Rich and soft bubbles like fresh cream lower skin irritation, and provide perfect cleansing even when used along with 3D spin cleaner.


How to use:
Step 1: Wet palms and create lather.
Step 2: Meticulously massage through skin and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Review:
I used it for four times, so I think I kind of know how to use this cleanser. I followed the instruccions but it didn't remove completely my makeup (just BBcream). I still had to  take the rest of makeup with a cotton pad so I wouldn't say it's so effective. Plus it leaved my skin dry. And my skin type is oily so I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin people. But I also have to say that this is recommended to use it with 3D Spin cleaner, so maybe that's way the cleanser didn't work out that much. 

The way to apply is is very easy, and fun to do I must say. It has a little kind of scent, but nothing bothersome. It feels nice when appylying it and like 1 hour later after rinsing. Inmediately after applying it, like I said, kind of dries your skin.

So I give this product:

♔♔  /  ♔♔♔♔♔

I think I will look for some cleanser that will moisturize my face better. Plus it's not so cheap. A bottle of 80ml is 15$ on ebay and I think I can get something better for that price. Anyway, tell me if you found this review helpful or if you have tried this before and how was it. I would love to hear.

Bye~

Review: Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm - Skin79


Hola~

Hoy también hago un review, esta vez es de un producto coreano. Se trata de la tan famosa BB Cream de Skin79: Hot Pink Super+ Beblesh Balm. La he pedido en presentación de 5gr, uno para probar qué tal me va y dos, porque no me alcanzaba más el dinero jaja. Me la trajo una amiga, pueden visitar su tienda dando click aquí: Areumdawo Store

Hi~

Today I'm reviewing as well another product, but this time is a Korean one. I'm talking about the famous Skin 79 BB Cream: Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm. I ordered it in the 5gr presentation because I wanted to try it and because I couldn't afford other lol


El empaque es muy bonito. (Nótese que me he vuelto una adicta al rosa, reciéntemente. La culpa la tiene Tiffany de SNSD). El empaque viene con instrucciones en inglés y coreano. Bueno, revisemos lo que dice el empaque:

- Blanqueador
- Protección UV con factor SPF35 PA++
- Mejoración de arrugas

As you can see, the packaging is really pretty (I must admit I've been obssesed with pink recently).  Also, the packaging brings directions in Both english and Korean. Well, let's see what the packaging claims:

- Whitening
- UV protection SPF25 PA++
- Wrinkle Improvement



No huele, tiene una textura muy suave y al aplicarla a mi rostro hace que mi piel se vea y sienta sana. Yo la aplico como si fuera una base común y corriente (esparzo hasta cubrir todo mi rostro). Lastimosamente, como se ven en las fotos, tiene bajo cubrimiento. Me tapa los granitos más leves, pero los grandes solo me los aclara un poco. Pero con el corrector tapo lo que la BB cream no pudo. Y lo bueno es que se adapta a mi color de piel (como se habrán dado cuenta, mi rostro es más pálido que mi cuerpo)

It doesn't smell. It has a soft texture and when I apply it to my face, it makes it feel smooth and to look healthy (which my other foundation didn't). It really looks like if I weren't using make up. But, on the down side, it has low coverage (as you may notice on the picture above). It only covered my mild blemishes. What I do is to use concealer to correct my acne scars. 

I also love the fact that this BB Cream oxydizes and get me a very natural look. Well, you might think I look paler when using the BB Cream, but I'm actually whiter in face than in the rest of my body.


Finalmente le doy a esta BB Cream un 4/5.

Estoy muy contenta con todos los efectos que me ofrecen este producto. Aunque lo malo es que no me da todo el cubrimiento que mi rostro necesita.

¿Compraría de nuevo? Creo que probaré con otras BB creams antes de regresar a esta. Quiero probar con las hermanas de esta BB cream en la misma marca. Quizás una de ellas me brinde un mejor cubrimiento.

Les adjunto la foto de la parte de atrás del envase de la BB cream. ¡Son las Brown Eyed Girls! Al parecer ellas son la nueva imagen de Skin79. Y Ga In es la respectiva imagen de la Hot Pink. No puedo evitar pensar en "Abracadabra" cuando las veo jaja. Saludos.

Finally, I'll give this BB Cream a 4/5.

I'm happy with the effects that this product has. I want to whiten some spots I got on my face since a while. Also, I love how much of UV protection it has. And the fact that it's going to improve my already notorius wrinkles is awesome! But, I'd like to have a better coverage.

Repurchase? I think I will try other BB creams of Skin79 before buying this one again. 

I'm also sharing a picture of the back of the packaging. Brown Eyed Girls! I guess they are the new image of the brand, and Ga In the representative of Hot Pink. I can't avoid reminding of "Abracadabra" when I see them lol. Have a good day.

Super Stay Makeup 24hr (Natural Beige) Review


Hi. Today, I'm making the review of Maybelline's Super Stay Makeup 24hr - Natural Beige. I've been using this product for over a year now. I tried the two presentations of it: the Classic Beige (the first one I got) and the Natural Beige (the one I'm reviewing today). Alright, let's start with the basics first.

The packing says:

1) Withstands heat, sweat and humidity.
2) No-transfer, won't rub off.
3) Flexible, breathable, all-day comfort.
4) Oil free. Non pore-clogging.
5) Suitable for all skin types.

The ingredients:

Aqua/Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Isododecane, Dimethicone, C30 45 Alkyl Dimethylsilyl Propylsilsequioxane, Glycerin, Silica, PEG 10 Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Polyglycerin 3 Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, Nylon 12, Phenoxyethanol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Chlorphenesin, Ethylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Acrylates Copolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide, Paraffin, May Contain (+/-): CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77499, CI 77492, CI 77491 (Iron Oxides)
-

The picture above it's the foundation on natural light, with no flash. As you can see, it's pinky. Let's talk about the packing's statements. 

1) Yes, it stands heat, sweat and humidity. I can say about this because I used this foundation for concerts (I also used the Maybelline's dream matte powder with it) and I came back home the same way I left. My face was kind of shiny because of the heat of the moment (I was in the middle of the crowd), but nothing that powder can not hide. It's very enduring. I love that!

2) So false. There is a thing I hate about this foundation and it's the fact that it transfers to every thing my skin is in contact. I think the only reason why I keep using this foundation is because of its great coverage.

3) Kind of. The first sensation I got when I put on this foundation was that my skin didn't seem fresh. It feels oily and it doesn't give you a natural look, to be honest. But, I think you can be confident that your makeup won't banish during the day provided that you don't touch your face with anything but powder.

4) Well, after a year of using it. I think it's not THAT pore-clogging but my skin is in not that good condition as before. I have to use a moisturizer to treat my skin. However, I think it's also because I use this foundation almost 24/7. I think my skin should take a break, too.

5) As you can see in the picture, I have acne. I've always had it. And one reason I bought this makeup was because it was hypoallergenic... so it is suitable for me.


Pictures with natural light. Unfortunately, the second one came out darker :c

Finally, I give this foundation a 3/5.

After a year of using it, and two purchases, I don't think I'll buy a new bottle. After I tried the Classic Beige one (it was way too bronce/dark for me), I gave the foundation a second chance by buying the Natural Beige one. But, in the end it couldn't match my natural skin color. It looks too pink in my face and it doesn't give me a natural look. However, it has a great coverage. As you can see, it can cover almost all my blemishes with one layer application. Of course, with concealer and powder you get the 100% fair skin. And I love the fact that it's long-lasting. 

So that's for my review of today. I might also review the Classic beige so you can make a comparison between the two of them. Leave your comments if you have try it before or if you have any question I could help you with.

Have a nice day!
