Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Powder Fit {Video Review}

I was most pleasantly surprised when I tried out this BB cream. I had read really great things about it online, but reviews only go so far and I always worry about BB creams making my skin look ghostly pale. Luckily this is not the case for this BB cream. With a lovely powdery scent, and a wonderful powder finish, this BB cream has crept into my heart and my makeup table, finding it's way as a close contender for my favourite Klairs Supple Illuminating BB Cream. 

One thing (and it really is only a small gripe) is with the white tube. White and foundation don't go together vey well. I took these photographs after only using this BB cream once, and I got foundation smudges on the side of the tube. That's why my tube looks a little dirty. That problem is easily solved if you use a Foundation brush though!

Here is a little video review I made of this product, as well as a quick tutorial showing you how I made up my face after using the Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB cream.

You get 60g of product in each tube, so it's going to last you a long, long time. As you can see, the easy to use dispenser gives you just enough product for an even application. In the photographs below you can see just how seamlessly the product glides into my skin.

I would say one layer will give you medium coverage, but this BB cream is very build-able. One more pump and you would have a high coverage foundation with all the other great properties of BB creams (sun protection, moisture & cover).

The Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit only comes in 3 shades; 

No. 2 Light Beige

No. 13 Natural Beige

No.25 Honey Beige

I chose the middle shade, Natural Beige and it's perfect for my Olive skin. It is currently winter here in Korea and my skintone has faded slightly, but I am usually MAC NW 25.

Have you tried this BB cream before? What did you think? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below. 

Etude House Play 101 Eyeliner Pencil in #3 & #18 {Review}

I recently picked up these eyeliners on sale at Etude House for only W3 000, 50% off their regular price of W6 000. I must say that I really wasn't expecting much from them considering they were on sale for so few pennies. I picked up the first one #18 by mistake. The saleslady gave me the wrong pencil by accident and I didn't realise until after I had used it. I was rather annoyed, until Farmboy commented on my makeup, saying how pretty it looked, and then I decided it was actually rather a nice new addition to the dark shades I already own.

#18 is a soft pastel shade of lilac and is very light. It goes on almost white (which is great for highlighting and opening up your eyes). I have noticed a lot of Koreans use a light shade of eyeliner/glitter dust on their waterline which opens up their eyes and makes them look brighter and larger.

#3 is my favourite of the two and is a smoky, glittery dark purple, grey shade. It's dark enough to finish off a smoky eye, but with the bits of glitter in it make it still very feminine, as opposed to vampy. I use this shade with both light makeup on my eyes as well as for a darker, smokier look.

These pencils are wind up, so no fussing with a pencil sharpener. They are also a gel-like consistency which makes them glide easily onto your eye lid. They are easily removed with makeup remover, but they stay put on your eyelid. I have used them with an eye primer and right on my lid with no base and they have lasted the entire day without smudging or going creasing. Pretty amazing little pencils.

I may return soon for some of their more playful colours (I spied a teal and an emerald green which could be fun to play around with).
