Hello there my turtle doves!
Today I am finally (yes, I say finally because I have had this for a good few months but haven’t got around to do a review so sorry for that…) here with my first ever CC cream review.
I am probably the last person on earth to review this but hey ho, I wanna do it anyway so here we go!
I got the silky version which is for oilier skin types. I must give Etude a pat on the back for being one of a few companies to bring out a non-“shiny/glowy” cc cream as well. THANK YOU!
You can aslo see here all the 8 in 1 functions/benefits this CC cream has! Plus SPF 30/PA++. Sunprotection is always appreciated!
Ingredients list!
That’s enough of the box I think ~
Now, the packaging is really simple which we all love. Simplicity = easy to use.
Your “standard” pump packaging ~
Now for swatches :j
Some of you probably know that most CC creams are white, yes white. With tiiiiny black “beed” looking things in it. But do not fear my friends, you will not look like a ghost because once you blend it…
It turns into your skincolour, slightly lighter because of it’s “whitening” effect.
The texture is a mix between creamy and watery. Not greasy at all. Feels absolutely lovely on the skin and when it’s all blended, it feels like you’re wearing nothing. Blends beautifully without enhancing dry patches (at least not on me). When it sets it’s a demi-matte finish so for me who loves a good matte face, powder on top is necessary. Skin is smooth and more even after applying this to ma face!
Before ~
After ~ On my face (during better skin days…) My skin is brighter, more even, and smooth.
The coverage is not high, however do cover pores quite well on it’s own. But CC creams are not meant to have high coverage. Either you can use it underneath your bb cream which I have tried and loved, or, you can use it on it’s own and slap on some concealer too to cover up any imperfections.That’s what I do as well. But if you’re blessed with almost perfect skin (damn lucky you..), you wouldn’t even need concealer.
The smell (to me) is a mix of clay-esk and a bit citrusy? Maybe that’s wrong but my nose thinks that that’s the smell of it aha…
Now lasting power ~ I have combination skin so not too oily but not normal skin either. With only CC cream on I’d say it lasts maybe 3-4 hours but then it’s starting to melt off my face proper bad…
With concealer and powder, amazingly up to 7-8 hours before I start to look quite greasy (no top ups during the day).
I am very impressed with this CC cream and would warmly recommend it!
If I forgot to mention something just tell me ~ Have a lovely Valentines day everyone and I hope this was helpful!
MUAH XX
