Review: Aritaum Full Cover BB Cream

Hey, I'm back with a new post!! I know, I promised to update every week but I have to pack all my shaff and it is soooo stressful and takes all my time ㅠ.ㅠ Anyway, I'm here to share with you my new review lovely sponsored by ibuybeauti ^^

As you probubly know I'm addicted to base makeup. I’m always in search for the perfect foundation and concealer. So that’s why I decided to try a new Aritaum Full Cover line. In this post I’m going to review Aritaum Full Cover BB Cream in #2 Natural Beige.

Description

Packaging

The bb cream comes in a squeezing tube with a small hole which is helpful because it is easier to control the amount of product that comes out. The package is simple but I like how modern it looks and also the print on the back caught my eye from the very beginning. Big plus is that it gives you a great amount of product, 50 ml, so I think it will last me a pretty long time. 

And also this tube was made on my birthday!

Texture

If you ever had bb creams you should probably know that most of them are pretty thick. But this bb cream is not as thick as many other ones, it melts really easily and blends out very nicely. It doesn’t accentuate dry areas and patches badly. It is also very light and you don’t feel it as a mask on your face. Of cause you feel it but not something crazy. 

Shade

There are only 2 shades: Light Beige and Natural beight and I have the second one. It is a beige color with a pink undertone and after blending it seems a little bit greyish. But after setting it adapts to your skin color and the gray cast vanishes. 

The most surprising fact is that the color of bb cream is not similar to the color of concealer! This ‘Natural Beige’ is more pink while the concealer’s ‘Natural Beige’ has a bright yellow tone. BUT after setting you can’t actually see the big difference which also is a big plus. 

Application

After testing this product I can say that I see and feel the best result just using my fingers. I don’t know, I like using my fingers, it gives me a smooth, silky finish so… why should I use anything else? :D Also brushes and sponges soak too much product and I think it’s just a waste of time and product. 

Finish

Right after blending the finish is glowy and if you apply too much it can feel a bit sticky but in 5 min this feeling disappears. At the end it gives a semi matte finish that looks really natural.

Adaptation

It takes about 15~20 min to adapt to my skincolor. After setting it is still a bit too light for me but right now I’m about NC30 in MAC system and I think it will look better in a few months. 

Coverage

The bb cream claims to give a full coverage but I think it is medium. It doesn’t cover my pimples and acne scares completely so definitely it is not high coverage, otherwise there will not be any concealers in this line, right? :DD However I can say that it is buildable and you can get a full coverage if you want in 2 or 3 layers. But I recommend using a concealer because bb cream can melt and slip away very easily even if you set it with a powder. 

Oil-control

I don’t recommend this product for people with oily skin coz it might be too moisturizing (?) I can’t describe it better haha It does not control the oiliness of my face throughout the day and my skin starts to shine just in 2 or 3 hours after applying. 

Sent

It smells like a sunscreen and the scent is pretty strong so I can feel it even on my face for about 2 or 3 minutes. 

Pros

+ Lightweight

+ Good coverage

+ Does not accentuate dry patches

+ Natural and smooth finish

+ Big amount of product

+ Lovely packaging

Cons

- Pink undertone

- Only 2 shades

- Strong scent

- No oil control

Rating : 4+ / 5

In total

It became one of my favorite foundations/bb creams but it still has some flaws, so it’s not the perfect one for me :( Right now I’m using it every day and I really like it: the finish, how it feels etc. Even if the coverage is not full it is still a very good bb cream for people with imperfections, like me.

Where to buy

You can get this bb cream from ibuybeauti

Life updates

Hello hello! 

Well, I’m finally back! Again… First of all I want to apologize for this incredible lack of posts. Recently I noticed that I completely forgot about my blog T.T I have photos for 4 or 5 posts, I want to write them but… I can’t. It is crazy but I really can’t do it! When I sit to write a post it feels like something tells me “Stop doing it and go to eat” :DDD

I’m really sorry but during past 3~4 months I was stressed out with lots of things: my last olympiad, exams, results of these exams and deciding what university should I choose. So I don't think that blogging helped me relax haha Right now, when I’m officially a student of the Moscow State University, I can’t realize it. I’m packing my bags and… Can’t tell that I am ready to all this staff. It seems like I lost a purport of my life! Well, ok, just weaved my dream but it is still too depressing haha I don’t know what to do with my life, I don’t have any dream anymore. Oh… I’m just seventeen but feel myself as 30 y/o looser T.T Anyway I hope that, when the school year finally begins, I can forget about it.

As for a good side of my life I have some news for you, guys :) Firstly, I’m working on a new blog design and maybe at the end of this month you will see it :D I know, it is not soon but you should already know how lazy I am haha Secondly, I’m going to try to blog every week! /but it is too hard for me TT.TT/ And lastly, the most exciting part, I was selected as one of Beautifan’s bloggers!

Review: Mizon Aqua Cool Jelly Mask

Hello everyone! I’m back with another review for you! So I hope I will update every week till my BD and all these posts will be about Mizon products! So when I was preparing the previous post I decided to make a “Mizon April” BUT I was too lazy that’s why I do these reviews half a month T.T

Today I have a review of Mizon Aqua Cool Jelly Mask that was sponsored by Lunifera!

Description

Why I always can’t find a good description of Mizon’s products in English? :O

My thoughts

There are 6 packs (2 of each type) that come in 11x5.5x6.5 cm box. Every pack has 15 ml of product which is A LOT. You can use it even more than 5 times! I personally used each pack 7 times as a night mask on face and neck. Pretty amazing, right? :)

The packaging is super cute, it looks like a real jelly pack! Packs are pretty small so it is very easy to use it in a travel. Each type has different color of the lid and jelly:

Red Berry – bright pink color with a little cherry. The mask is pink as well with little white granules.

White Orange – bright orange with a little slice of orange. The mask has a very light orange color.

Aqua Blue – bright blue with a drop of water *O* The mask should be very light blue color but I can’t really tell that :D

Bad thing is that the spatula is not included. Because you can use every pack more than 1 time it is not hygienically to use fingers to get out the product. So you have to have your own spatula.

The scents of all masks are pleasant and sweet. The pink one smells like a strawberry Mogu Mogu lol

The orange one has a light citrus scent but I don’t know how describe the scent of the blue one T.T I’m not good at describing things lol

The consistency is very similar to all masks. It is a jelly and when you try to get it out of the jar it comes in the chunks :D (my English sucks TT.TT) It is easy to apply coz it melts and spreads out evenly.

The only different is that the orange mask before melting falls into pieces lol when the pink and blue ones transform into gel immediately. White granules of Red Berry mask disappear during blending.

My skin absorbs all masks quickly. After soaking you still can feel the mask but is not sticky.

I’d like to use them like a sleeping pack. It’s crazy but after 3-4 of sleep with any of these masks my face looks refreshed and rested like I have been sleeping for 8 hours! But you can also use it as a normal mask: put it for 15-20 min and then rinse it off. All masks reduce puffiness and return your skin healthy glow. They also make skin super soft and don’t clog pores.

Also I think that the orange one helps with acne! Every month my skin breaks out like crazy but this time I have just 2 or 3 pimples!

Pros

-Travel friendly

- Scent

- Soaks fast

- Doesn’t clog pores

- Moisturizing

- Anti puffiness

Cons

- Spatula is not included

- The scent can be too strong for some people

Rating : 5 / 5

In total

Overall I really like these masks! They are easy to use and the packaging is travel friendly. My skin loves them so I will repurchase this box of goodies lol

Where to buy

You can get it from Koreadepart or Lunifera

Review: Mizon Multi-Function Snail Repair BB Cream

Hello hello my beautiful shiny stars!! I’m officially back to blogging and hope that you still remember my~ So after a long break I want to write as much as possible and my laziness keep saying me NO T.T

Anyway I have a bunch of reviews for you, guys, and I gonna publish them as soon as I can. Hope you will like it and let’s start!

So today I’m going to share with you my thoughts about MIZON Multi-Function Snail Repair BB Cream

Description

I can’t find a good description in English so here is a picture from Mizon.

The product comes in only one shade.

My thoughts

I got this bb cream maybe a year ago, I’m not really sure, but I do not use it often. You probably have seen it in my Everyday makeup routine but I’ve used it just because I wanted to do this review (2 months ago lol) and make sure that I really know what I think about it.

The packaging is pretty simple, an ordinary 50 ml squeezing tube but I like a little snail on it ^^ Because it doesn’t have any pump and you have to squeeze out the product so the cap and the tip (?) get dirty and it looks disgusting ><

The scent of the bb cream is very light and nice. You can’t really feel it after applying. I suppose that it is something floral but I can’t describe the scent T.T

The color is gray with pink undertone. As you can see it is way more pink and gray than my skin. It takes more than 15 minutes to oxidize and adapt to my skincolor but it is still too pink and light for me.

This bb cream blends out very easily but dries too quickly so you should work fast. Right after blending it has a semi - glowy finish but after setting it dries to a natural matte skin finish. It is not sticky at all and feels very light on my face. However it transfers to the cloths and phone screen easily.

 Excuse my ugly scars and pores :(

The cream does a great job of smoothing out my pores and scars but it is also good at accentuating dry patches and white heads (all bumps actually) so I try to wear this bb cream only after cleaning pores, pealing and primer.

The coverage is medium and I do not recommend building it up coz I think it doesn’t looks well.

The best way to apply this bb cream for me is to use my hands. The body heat melts the product and this way you can achieve the most natural finish.

Oil-control is not something that this product claims to do so my T zone starts to shine just in 2-3 hours after applying. Powder is my bestfriend

Pros

- Scent 

- Lightweight

- Covering pores

- Natural finish

Cons

- Packaging

- Only one shade

- Accentuating bad things

- Does not match my skincolor

Rating : 3 / 5

Overall I don't really like this bb cream. It did not impressed me and I won’t repurchase it.

Where to buy

You can get it from Jolse or Lunifera.
