[Korean Makeup Blog/ Tony Moly] Luminous Goddness Aura BB Cream, SPF 37 PA ++ & Aura Beam

Tony Moly brand's Luminous Goddness Aura BB Cream, SPF 37 PA ++ & Aura Beam

I'm proud to say. one of the best cosmetic product is BB cream in Korea. Many wrote in their review "I'm not a fan of BB cream until I tried this Korean Cosmetic BB cream"

Well, I like BB cream as well, make the makeup much, much easier.

Today I'm going to introduce you to a  BB cream Tony Moly brought out this spring. This BB cream has give a glow to your skin. Making your skin look like model skin. Time to apply and go for a photo shoot!

There is two product
BB cream & BB cream Aura Beam.

First BB cream Aura Beam

you can see the pearl!

This BB cream give your skin the healthy glow + moist protector layer + hides Corneous + Long lasting.
This BB cream has little pearl to it making the smooth skin sparkle!
You can't ignore the natural materials like walnut oil, Brazil nut seed oil, cucumber, etc. helps your skin be less harmed by all the chemical makeup you've put on.

If you see the pearl although you can see the soild square it's not big enough for anyone to see when you apply it on your skin. Just give a stronger reflects of light.

This product give like you've applied oil on your skin. Not a very refreshing feeling like most Korean cosmetics. However the oil texture makes it more absorbent and last longer.

This is what it's like on your skin!

BB cream

Moisty + Covers all your dark spots + calms your irritated skin + protects you from ultra rays in one product!
Really for a lazy cat like me this product is a must have. Also I hate having to apply this and that feels like you have a some kind of mask on.
Just like the Aura Beam it has all the natural oil to keep your skin protected from getting old from all the chemical.

Tony Moly BB cream is lighter in color than other products. This is advantage because it give your skin a light tone and also more healthy brighter.

You don't need a log of the cream to cover your face. Because even little drops can easily spread through large part of your skin.


Now All you need to do it mix these two up to give your skin the front page model skin!

This is what it looks like when applied

Get your Skin Massage at Home!

This T-shaped heavy metal looking thing is Mipl's product the Miple Tornado Beauty Bar.

This vibrates about 8 thousand times just strength about the strength of a massaging hand. It's T-shaped for a reason, you can used this around wrinkled parts, like under the eye, around the mouth, and helps make a V-lined face.

It's a bit heavy because of the battery inside. 

This is well made you can even use it during bath. It's liquid prof.

Caolion Mool Pool Skin & Lotion & Cleanser

Caolion brand have brought out a product not one we but our skin will love. Mool Pool package is product that take out all the alcohol  dye, parabens and other 10~15 chemicals that harm our skin. Also this product is good for sensitive skin who few days of full makeup cause acne because there is no Commodore Hygienic to cause it.

This makeup product have carefully selected water. You might just ignore it, but its the water that mixes all the product's material and what your skin absorb.

This product uses Purified Water and uses fruits like Plums Wed to clean your skin.

First, I'll show you the cleanser, this cleanser is certified in steeping into your moles and clean out all the dirt off your skin and also protects it. see how well makeup erased? However lipstick and eyeliner needs extra rubbing or what I would suggest is use point makeup remover.

The skin product is really good at fast absorbing and you won't feel the stickiness at all.

Same goes for lotion.

Overall I like this product for the makeup base.

Although it is black it has bit of metal feeling.

Where to Visit in KOREA Myeongdong Part 2

Welcome to Myeong Dong.

Here's a Map of the place I'm going to introduce to you today.

Once out of the gate (go through gate 5 or 8) follow the map and you'll see.

First Catholic Church ever. It is beautiful and try not to disturb the church on Sunday or special Catholic days.

It's pretty and really calms you.

If you have been to European Catholic churches this church might feel boring however be proud because you've came to one of the most important historical event in Korea.

In hard time faith have been a light to Korean and has changed our point of view and thoughts and led to great development and changes.

Where to Visit in KOREA Myeongdong Part 1

Well, when visiting Korea you wouldn't want to just shop, it's time to eat and go sightseeing.
So, I'll be introduce you places around soul and places around.

To new comers you must understand this tourism business is new in Korea, however suddenly with growing interest in K pop so many tourist comes to visit. If you are not a great planner (Like I am) you should find a tourist who is, because finding a place to stay and finding places to visit may not be easy as you think. We should just hope Korea will invest more in tourism so it would be easier to visit.

Today I'll be introducing Myeongdong, not only it is a place to shop cosmetics its a place with food and the first Catholic church the Myeongdong Chapel.

Well, getting there for tourist using the subway will be best if you are short in budget. Believe me taxi can be costly.

So this part of the writing I'll be helping you how to use the subway.

Well to find a sub way find something like this:

See this sign? top is yellow and there is the round color(it's bright blue in this picture) of the rail number and the white letters are the subway name in Korean.

Well if you see one of this, YAY! you found the subway. go down stairs and you'll see a maze, some place there is a big mall inside the subway making it even more harder to find the place to get on the subway.

When you get down there find this machine!

This machine has english. click on english than clikc on the Left side orange button than find Myeongdong. Give the machine your money (the machine will greedy suck your cash) than a ticket will come out. you'll need it and after you arive at your station you can return it and receve back 500won.

Well, time to get on the subway.

Remember go through green doors and put the card on the sensors on the right. The sensors shape can be different between station but remember your card goes on the right.

You come out the same way.
Now you are at Myeong Dong.

Tony Moly Backstage Duo Face Maker. Product Intro

Tony Moly Backstage Duo Face Maker.

This product has three types.

(Pink Brown) (Gold Brown) (Peach Pink)

There is quite a big mirror but no brush is provided.
one side is the highlighter applied on your T zone and under your eyes and the chin. Other side is the shadow you use it to make the color difference less.

The Shadow part has a less pearl mixed into it. I think it's to better conceal.

It's kinda heavy but I believe you could use this after you finished your makeup applying all over you face to give a shine to your skin.

Han Kyung Hee vibration Foundation

I found a interesting product today.

Price / Amount : 89,000won / 

If you want me to get it for you just ask XD

email : myteacupstory@gmail.com

Currently it's a 'HOT ISSUE' in Korean Homeshopping.
This vibration goes 5000vibration/min so that the foundation will steep into all your moles and cracked skin.

The size is kinda big so it could be bit big for small hands to grip.

It's not very hard to use. All you need is a battery and a foundation. All you need is to put these two into the vibration machine. Or you could just put the foundation on yourself and spread it with using this vibration machine.

There was alot expection about this foundation, however I feel there is bit of sound when vibrating and has big vibration motion.

The best thing about this foundation is that when applied with it the foundation is steep into the skin so it doe not wash out the tissue.

Apart from the vibration and the sound I feel this is the best product for applying foundation!

Etude House, Limp GuanChea(Brilliance) Volumer

Price / Amount : 15,000won / 25g

If you want me to get it for you just ask XD

email : myteacupstory@gmail.com

It's a pink gel and has a rose-like scent but not quite sure. When applied it feels like you put on oil. Strangely even though it's oil it has the sticky feeling that stick to your skin tightly. 

If you have used such product you'll remember your oil sustance does not last long this product have fixed that.

When this product was out to open it was used as sub element of BB cream. So you mix it ratio of 3:1 of BB cream and Volumer.

Other product when mixed made the BB cream color weak so you had to apply additional foundation however this product delete the drawbacks.

Than apply it to your skin. You can use it like foundation if you want. Or like BB cream.

Like the TV star the skin looks bright and elegant.

Moles! Moles! Moles! Black head! White head! Corneous!

They are one of the most ugliest problems on the skin. So I believe you must have used some kind of scrub, but I always had skin problems because of the large lumps made my skin sensitive and later on cause trouble. 

So this time I've carefully chosen a scrub and will solve all the problems.

This product made by Innisfree is clear scrub used as cleaner and also scrub so the soild smalll lumps does not make my skin go red but still does all the cleaning inside our moles.

This product has a bit of a texture of a cleansing balm.

Before using this product you can clean with soap first before use but you can also just apply it before wash works as well too.

This product is made of Barley so I thought there would be cereals smell but there was more of cereal-like-lemon smell.

I liked it because it give a refreshing smell.

This product has enough bubbles when applied.
This product can be used instead of your cleansing and plus you get your mole problem solved.

Elkurn Perfect Organizing Activity Repair

Elkurn Perfect Organizing Activity Repair Review

Price / Amount : 54,000won / 15ml

If you want me to get it for you just ask XD

email : myteacupstory@gmail.com

Elkurn brought out Repair production and brought great attention. 

Using natural stuff such as Pulsatilla Extract, Earth Near extract, Fruit extracts from Basswood, etc.

Elkurn product did not use any coloring pigment and tried to keep it organic as possible.

If I comment about the texture of the cream it has a smooth and moisture feeling and above all when you apply it, you can practically feel the cream slowly absorbing on your skin. This product is usable all year round, because this product is very light. No need to worry about using it in summer, when it's HOT. This is why I love this product, I hate heavy makeup. 

Elkurn's product's strong point is that it is very absorbent and easily spread on your skin.  

Since it's a treatment product I carefully looked at the product's recovery ability.

After applied on the skin, it looked moist and the elasticity is better than other products I've used.

Con: it has a high cost but I feel this product is worth every penny.

Top 6 Korean Cosmetic Brands

Top 6 Korean Cosmetic Brands

1. The Face Shop

The face shop is known for their face pack, and their product have just the amount of oil and not dry. These days they are putting work more on natural resources into the product.

 

I feel their down side is still their product ingrediments, they are working on it so let's wait a little.

 

 

 

 

2. Sulwhasoo 

Sulwhasoo is special with their indegreements. Sulwhasoo only use medicine herbs as their product basic indegreements, not only is it natural it is healthy for your skin and body. What I also like about Sulwhasoo is that thier product is really, really, soft and smooth. I believe this is good for the elderly or sensitive skin. Their best product are anti-wrinkle products, Sulwhasoo product maybe the best of all.

 

However sometime the herb smell may induce buys to evade, and their price is high.

 

3. Hera

Hera is a more of expensive brand and loved for product that have high covering ability. All your wrinkless and mole is easily covered. If you have used their poundation you can see comparing other brand products Hera's uses less powder to lighten your skin tone.

 

 

 

4. The Skin Food

Skin Food Moto is "Do not apply, yeild to your skin" just like that their product indegriments is all vegetable and fruit. Their basic products like lotion, skin, BB cream, etc. works well with any type of skin.

Skin Food needs to work on making more of these products and strengthen their colors. I believe this brand products are good for who don't like heavy make up and just need slighest amount of color.

5. Etude
Etude is beloved by their various type of bright colors. Etude products are cheap and kinda low quality compared to other brands I've put up. However their color and cost is a strong point they are 5th popular product!



6. Innisfree
Innisfree has made constant products that made from various of types of natural indegrinants. Innisfree is an expert on basic line products and it's simple design makes a plus when we shop.

If I see the downside is that some of the colors seems a little weak with alittl more color I believe it will be beloved even more.

 

Hope you enjoyed Korean Brands!!!

When you search the Internet you for tip about makeup or makeup products Google show you other popular search and you often see ‘Korean Makeup’. Where is Korea? And Why are their makeup popular?

Korea???

 

Korea is a small peninsula surrounded by China and Japan. It’s a divided country of North and South and is still in Cold War.

Korea is very famous for K-Pop

Last few months Korean singer PSY song “Gamnam Style” made an unbelievable record on YouTube.

Of course has a lot of tourist that comes to shop for Korean cosmetics.

This is many paces in Korea where tourist come to shop! :)

So, why is it popular?

1.       Korean makeup is cheap.

If designer brand lipstick is around $20 to $35+ Korean brand lipstick is around $4.72+. One designer brand lipstick is the cost of 5 of Korean brand.

2.       High Quality

Korean cosmetics show a high quality in ingredients and effect after use.

3.       Cute & Pretty Package

I can’t ignore the cute product packages whenever I pass them.

4.       Korean Makeup “fresh-looking, chiseled face, flawless and translucent skin”

Just the other day, I read a news article about PSY’s “Gamnam Style” back dancer’s makeup draw in more western people attention about Korean Makeup.  If you have seen their music video it is understandable. Korean believes beauty is “fresh-looking, chiseled face, flawless and translucent skin.” And surprisingly Korean cosmetics are always making more products that when you use it, it does look like you have a natural face. That doesn’t mean you can’t express your inner nature with these products. You can easily apply few more products and you can express your sexiness, cuteness, saucy, etc look.
