Product Review:Etude House Baby Skin Veiling Pact #2

Hi my dear dollies!
It's me again making a review for all my lovable dolls.
Today's review is one of the prettiest powder pact that I have ever seen and laid my eyes and hands on. 
Let's welcome the Etude House Baby Skin Veiling Pact #2.

Ain't it pretty?
Just because of the packaging, I can't stop myself but to look for it since it's always out of stock.
I am really thankful that I already found this at Etude House Market! Market!

Since that I've been using this for a while now, I guess that it is ready for review.
This particular foundation of Etude House has only 2 shades. Being #2 the darkest but still too white for Filipina skin tone. What is good about this foundation is that it has SPF 22/PA ++. I am really not sure what does PA ++ means. I need to research on it hehe 


The packaging is sturdy enough and I really love that it's pink and has some pretty cute princess touch to it. It really looks like a little girl's toy but I really love taking this out of my makeup kit.

This comes with a really nice puff as well. It's really soft and makes applying the powder much easier. Since that this is too white for me, I just apply this powder with patting motion and make sure that I just get a little of the product.

The girly-ness and cute-ness doesn't end there because the powder itself has some nice flowers engraved to it.

It's just too cute to resist that I don't want to use it to prevent the cute little flowers from fading. 

The powder has a really nice and smooth texture. It is not chalky nor powdery and I really love how my skin feels so smooth and soft with this on. It looks like you really have a baby skin. It has an average oil control time. When I used this my oilies are controlled between 3-4 hours but the coverage just last me for about 2 hours. It has this mild baby scent which I love as well. It is a pretty decent powdered foundation, if it is not just too white then I guess I will really love this.

Please excuse my face and skin's condition. My face had become really dull this past few days. Maybe because of my bad sleeping habits since that it's summer vacation hehe As you can see, the right part of my face has the foundation while the left face is my bare skin. Under natural lighting, it looks like it suits my skin tone a little. You can't really see how white it is but with flash photography, the horror comes waa you can really see how white the foundation is and doesn't suit my morena skin tone. Sometimes I'm really afraid to use this especially if I'm having my picture taken.

See how it looks like a white mask? I'm pretty sad about the coverage since that this powder is good enough for me. Too bad that this doesn't have shades that fits morena skin tone.

PLACE:  Etude House Market! Market!
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

• Very cute packaging
• Nice mild scent
• Powder is not chalky
• Cute engraved flowers on the powder
• The puff comes with the powder is soft
• It didn't break me out
• My face feels soft and smooth
• It has SPF although the SPF is not enough to really protect your skin

WHAT I DON'T LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

• It's too white for me
• Leaves a white cast especially with flash photography
• Kind of expensive for a student like me
• Not that long lasting

WILL I RECOMMEND IT/ BUY IT AGAIN?: I recommend this for those who loves collecting cute things like me. Honestly I just bought this because of the packaging and I think it's a really nice accessory to my makeup kit hehe. The bad thing is I will not buy this again.

THE VERDICT:
This is a really nice product if you want a cute product in your makeup kit. Since that this suits Korean skin tone, I don't suggest to use this as your primary powder.

Product Review: Etude House AC Clinic White Trouble Essencializer Kit

Hello again my dear dollies! 
It's review time again
So let's not make this introduction and let's start the review.


Etude House AC Clinic White Trouble Essencializer Kit is my recent skin care product that I am using. I've been using it for a few months now and I guess it's already time for a review. This kit comes with a small bottle of toner, a small squeeze type bottle of essencializer (good for travel purposes) and the full size pump bottle of the essencializer.

Product Description:
It is a 2-in-1 essencializer which to give both emulsion and cream at one time use. This prevents rashes  to come out by opening up the path between inside and outside of skin to keep circulation rhythm on skin.


Since that I don't really have a bad case of acne, the SA recommended this to me and she said that this is also good for minor cases of pimples so I gave this one a go.

 I am already done with the toner so I can't really show you how the product looks like. What I can say is that the toner is pretty good. It has this medicine like scent but bearable. I can also say that the toner is pretty mild because I didn't feel any stingy sensation even when applied near the eyes. The toner really cleans well and I noticed that I have less breakouts and small tiny bumps which I think are white pimples.

On to the main review, let me show you the essencializer.

It is called an essencializer because it is an essence and moisturizer in one. This is definitely a plus since that you don't have to apply too many products on your face.
It comes in a clear green pump bottle and what I noticed is that, the bottle is now made with plastic unlike the original AC Clinic Face lotion and the MiniSize U serum. This is an another plus point since that you don't need to worry that you might accidentally drop this and get broken. It comes with a pump which is an another plus for hygienic purposes.

The product comes in a liquid-cream texture just like shampoos but not that runny.

The smell of this essencializer is like that of the toner. A little of this product goes a long way so be sure to just pump the right amount and spread it on your face. Make sure to tap you skin too so the product will sink in your skin faster since that this product doesn't absorbed by the skin real fast.

See what I mean?

I've been using this product for a really long time now and I'm still using this day and night and good thing that it didn't gave me any break outs. So far this product is doing really well in controlling pimples.  Before I always get zits, if the other one is healed there would be another one that will pop out and this goes forever. After using this, I didn't get zits any more and if I do, it will be because of using another new product. The downside of this product is that it kind of makes me oilier so I am really careful in applying just a few drops of this product. Another downside is that my face kind of looks dull. Anyway this is just a product for controlling zits not for making your face look brighter. Overall, this is a good product. I only wish that it will make my face look brighter and healthier.

See how some of the zits disappeared just by using the product for a few days. Using this product continuously will dry up zits and control it. I'm pretty glad that this works for me and now my face looks more zit free than before. I will continue using this product until I found the perfect moisturizer for me.

Note:
I have normal to oily skin which my T-zone is the oiliest part. I do have visible pores on both of the apples of my cheeks and I'm dying to make them less visible.


THE PRODUCT: Etude House AC Clinic White Trouble Essencializer Kit
PRICE: Php 678
PLACE:  Etude House Market! Market!
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

• It comes with a sample size toner and essencializer
• It didn't break me out
• Controls the formation of zits
• Heals current zits
• Comes in a hygienic packaging

WHAT I DON'T LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

• It tends to make me oilier specially during hot days
• It makes my face look dull

WILL I RECOMMEND IT/ BUY IT AGAIN?:
I recommend this product to those who have mild cases of pimples or white pimples. When I finished this up, I guess I'll try some other moisturizers since that I want a glowing effect. If I am going to buy this again, then maybe I'll just buy the toner.

RATING: I give this product a   3/5

THE VERDICT:
This is a good product but this is not something that I will rave for. If it just gives me a more healthier looking skin, then maybe I'll give this a 5.
