KC Beautique - UK Based Korean Cosmetics Store

 

Ello Lovelies!

 
My love for BB Creams is no secret. I've reviewed my fair few throughout my time blogging and its safe to say that none have come close to my love for Korean brands. Personally, i have found the UK's offerings to be more akin to tinted moisturisers and many being far, far too dark for me which is something i rarely find with traditional BB's. The Korean offerings also have a whole host of skin loving ingredients in them which our UK counterparts tend to skimp on.

Now getting hold of Korean brands can be a pain, the internet is flooded with fakes and all the websites i've encountered ship from outside the EU which means you run the risk of getting slapped with import tax and the dreaded Royal Mail handling fee. Well, not anymore! KC Beautique is a new UK based store selling a variety of Korean Cosmetics including two of my all time favourite BB Creams; the Skin79 Hot Pink (pictured above, I'm currently on my fourth tube of this!) and the Missha M Perfect Cover. Theres a few skincare bits I've got my eye on and I'm excited to see what new additions pop up on the website.

For anyone interested, I've also managed to snag you lovely lot a discount code. You can get 10% off any order of £10 and over from now up until June 30th, valid once per customer. Just enter the code KATIEJUN13.

You can visit KC Beautique here! 

I'd just like to say i am in no way being sponsored for this post, I'm just a tad excited about being able to get my paws on some reasonably priced Korean cosmetics here in the UK. I've even got a little review of the Skin79 Gold BB Cream, which they also stock, coming up soon!

 

I have reviewed the Skin79 Pink (a long, long time ago) here and the Skin Food Red Bean BB Cream here. If you'd like a review of any others or the Missha Perfect Cover (god knows why i haven't review that gem already) then let me know!

 

What is your go-to BB Cream?

Etude House Haul (Cosmetic Love)

Hello!

So excited to share this with you! I decided to spoil myself a little bit, a little early Christmas Gift for myself. I bought all these from Cosmetic Love my favorite site for Korean beauty products free shipping and also free samples with your order.

This is a collective haul, I didn't buy them all the same time since most were a little pricey.
Also For those who pay attention to this post there might be a little giveaway preview at the bottom ^_~

I'm really happy with everything I bought :) I love Etude House.
 I will be doing reviews for these products. There aren't that much reviews for the BB Dation kit so I think I'll do that first!

 I also bought this Lioele product with my haul . I am loving Gel type Moisturizers, Really excited to give this a try

This isn't all the samples because I used some of them already :)

The next Etude House products I want to try is their new line. Sigh :(

I wish someone will get this for me for Christmas, I really want to try all of them!

What Etude House products do you want to try?

have a great day~

Holika Holika Petit BB Cream (Watery) Review

Hi there~ Hope you all are doing great I know I've been gone for a while, I had been having a lot of technical and life issues, but everything is great now and I can now blog regularly! YAY! with all that aside...

Cosmetic Love (an online shop that specializes in Korean skin care and beauty products) sent me this BB Cream to review and share with you! Thank you so much Cosmetic Love, sorry for all the delay!

This is my first time trying anything from Holika Holika!

This 30 ml (Petit) container is great for taking on the go!

I just pop it in my bag and it doesn't take up much space.

I think the watery was reffering to it's moisturizing effect :)

 

 

 

•  SPF 25 PA++ means sun protection, against the Sun's damaging UVA! perfect for everyday use

 Color is in Medium Beige, but it was a little on the Fair side for me. And it also has a light flowery smell hmmm it smells really good :) but doesn't stay long and is not annoyingly potent.

Before

                           ~ Notice how my skin looks dull and dry before application

After

Now my skin looks better~ See how the skin reflects back the light= therefore hiding the flaws on camera.

Now on my face... 

cheeks w/o anything (my problems are Redness and tiny bumps) eew I know

 now w/ BB cream

 WAAH isn't that crazy? you can totally see the difference!!

since my cheeks were kinda dry, and the bb cream was a little bit lighter, it does highlight the dry part :( but if I use moisturizer before it is better :D

All in all = I think this BB cream is great! It's light to medium coverage, it all depends on how much you put! For better application warm it up in your hands before applying to your face. It has a semi matte finish and looks like you just put some powder on so no powder needed, you can wear it as it is :) For such great result this BB cream is only $7.99 on Cosmetic Love! plus Free Shipping ^_^

Thanks for reading! Hope you have a great Weekend!!
