Secret Key...


Snail creams~~ We've been hearing about them for quite a long time already!
      The first I bought was not from a Korean brand, but somehow I liked the idea of using snail slime... Is it weird? (¬¬)
 
      Then, once I had finished that cream I realized that even though I had bought it in a pharmacy, it was actually full of bad ingredients, such as parabens, glycols and so on!!
      I was so shocked!!!
      I decided to search for a snail cream with a great ingredients list, so I turned to Korean brand kkk
 
      That was NOT an easy task, believe me!!
      I mean, did you see how many different Korean snail creams there are? O_o
      However, looking at the ingrédients helped when making a choice.
     After comparing snail creams from Tony Moly, Etude House, Holika Holika, Mizon, Elisha Coy and so on I found one with an amazing ingredients list!!
      I'll stop blabbering and tell you which one haha
 
The SECRET KEY INTENSIVE REPAIRING CREAM~~
 
 

5 free system: no paraben, no mineral oils, no benzophenone, no phenoxyethanol and no pigments!!

 
      I really like that cream~~
      My skin feels soft, smooth and well hydrated after using Secret Key Intensive Repairing Cream, and it helps me not to have dry patches on my skin!
      The cream smells lovely :o
      The smell fades after a few minutes though, which is a good point for people who are not keen on frangranced creams.

      If you use it in the morning you will need to wait a little to apply your foundation or bbcream though, it take a few minutes for your skin to absorb it for the cream is quite thick.
      I advise to only use a little amount in the morning, as the cream is quite rich.
      But that means that a little goes a long way hehe :B
      I apply a slightly thicker layer at night for more nourishment and it works great.
      My skin looks great in the morning, very plump and bright!! ^u^
It also helped with healing and smoothing out some acne scars heehee~~

      As I said, this cream has one of the best ingredients lists I've seen for a Snail cream so far!
      Even better than many famous brands like Missha, TonyMoly, It's Skin, Etude House, etc.
      It has a 5-free system: no parabens, no mineral oils, no benzophenone, no phenoxyethanol, no pigments.

      The jar is made of glass, and there's an inner seal, which is the best for skincare products.

      HOWEVER, it may be a bit too rich for people with a very oily skin!
Personally I didn't buy another one to see whether it really did me good or not, and also because it's good to change for the skin.
      And I admit I would have liked if a mini spoon or something like that came with the cream to scoop it up as it's not always hygienic to put your fingers in it D:

      But considering how great this cream is, these few little downsides are really not important :D
 
      I hope the review helped, don't hesitate to ask if you want any infos!
 
 
Talk to you later!!
 

Innisfree Eco Natural Green Tea BB Cream SPF25/PA++ #2 Natural Beige (50ml)


I have found my favourite BB cream~~
As far as I'm concerned this is THE BEST of all the BB creams I've tried
(**)


It has a very light texture, it is really easy and pleasant to apply.
The smell is okay, not the best ever but not unpleasant, it is very light and fades quickly anyway (it is a light, floral and green tea scent).
But it also means less chances to find artificial fragrance! So it's a good thing ^^

It makes my complexion beautiful and luminous, and leaves my skin looking healthy.
I was worried it wouldn’t have a good enough coverage but you can build it up and it covers any imperfections perfectly!

As every bb creams, after a few minutes it adapts to the colour of your skin.
After almost one week of use, no break-out = YAYz!!

I bought it in #2 natural beige.
A bb cream WITHOUT grey undertones *victory dance*.

The major advantage is that there are almost none of the not-so-good ingredients you usually find in bb creams.
It’s a “8-free system” bb cream: no parabens, no animal ingredients, no talc, no mineral oils, no silicone, no 1,4-dioxane, no acrylamide, no artificial colours or perfumes.
I checked the ingredients, there are indeed no parabens, no silicons, etc... and also no propylene/butylene glycol, no paraffin or petroleum… which is VERY rare in bbcreams…
I've been searching for such a bb cream for months, and even brands such as Vichy, Avene and La Roche-Posay don't have as good ingredients lists :o

The price is more than reasonable for 40 ml and that quality!!

HUUUUUUGE thanks to Innisfree and South Korea for that  (づ ̄ ³)  <뽀뽀!

I definitely recommend this bb cream to anyone with sensitive or even trouble prone skin, and who is trying to limit the amount of products that could damage their skin :)

I love this product so much that I bought another one just in case they stop making it!
 















It's the product of the year as far as I'm concerned :B
I saw that Innisfree very recently launched a new line of BBcreams though, they are very similar to that one, but with more specific uses, if that makes any sense -_-"
I think there's a long stay one, a sebum control one and a light one...
I'll look into that hehe
Talk to you later! Rawwwwwwwr :B
