REVIEW: Thank You Farmer Be Beautiful Luminous CC Cream

22:23

Hello guys and girls! I am back with another review for a beauty product from Thank You Farmer.

Thank You Farmer is a Korean brand that produces great beauty and skin care products.

You can definitely check out their skin care and beauty products in SaSa or Aeon stores.

Without further ado, let's get right into the review!

Let's talk about the packaging, shall we?

I like how this CC cream comes in a bottle with a pump which makes the dispense of the product itself easy.

Some CC cream in the market comes in the squeeze tube type which is not bad either but I personally prefer a pump bottle. The pump bottle enables me to estimate the amount that i need and also more hygienic.

The bottle is made from plastic but it does not feel cheap at all. The cap is also quite sturdy which makes it easy to bring around if you are travelling.

The cc cream is 40ml/1.40 FL. OZ. which is more than normal foundation in the market.

Now, let's look at the texture on the back of my hand.

This is the amount of product dispensed in one pump. It is just the right amount for a thin layer on my face.

CC cream is also known as the colour correcting or complexion corrector cream. As you can see on the after photo, my skin brightened up and has that slight glowy finish. Do note that CC cream does not offer coverage as decent as a BB cream.

We all know that the sun radiation is harmful to our skin and induces skin aging. Well, this CC cream provides sun protection which is SPF 30 PA++. However, I recommend using a real sun block for extra protection. (No one wants wrinkle haha...)

Next, let's see how it performs on the face.

This is my bare skin with just moisturizer. I have a few scars from the pimple and also pores to be filled :P my skin colour is also uneven.

After applying a thin layer of the CC cream. My scar is definitely lighter, skin tone is more even and also the appearance of pores decreases.

This CC cream is quite lightweight. The pink colour and pearlized effect brightened up and leaves a glowy effect on the skin. The texture is more like a moisturizing cream. So, do expect minimal tackiness from this product. In addition, this cc cream also contains a lot of nutrients for the skin which is a plus!

I recommend spreading the CC cream on the face by using the fingers. The warmth from the fingers makes the application easier.

I like how this CC cream does not only brightens the skin but also provides some moisture to the skin. However, if you have oily skin, I do not recommend using this on the entire face. Instead, you can apply this product on the highpoints of your face to act as a subtle highlighter. The fragrance is not too strong which is just nice.

This CC cream is really handy if you are in a hurry but does not want to show your bare face. It also works well as a primer which makes the application of foundation smoother.

That's all for my review!

Canmake New Blushers!

06:46

Hey~ hey~ I'm back with another post!

So...as you can see from the title, I am going to be showing you

swatches and some of my thoughts on the newly launched cheek

products from a Japanese cosmetics brand, Canmake. These new cheek

products are infused with great ingredients which helps to nourish

your skin which is a plus for me.

You can get these goodies from SaSa, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, Aeon

Departmental Store, Hermo, Play-Up by Parkson and Ourshop by

Airasia.

Let's get right into the swatches!

Canmake Powder Cheek PW41-Antique Rose

So let's talk about what I like about this product. This powder

cheek blends easily on the skin with literally any base products

underneath! It gives you that light flush on the cheek with an

almost matte finish. The powder is very silky but it adheres well

onto the skin. The brush included is so-so in my opinion, I like

the brush in their glow fluer cheek better. However, if you are

looking for a blusher that is able to retain the dewy look, I would

recommend the cream cheek.

From the swatch in the photo above, you can see that the

pigmentation is just nice with moderate opacity which is how I like

my blush to look like.

Normal Price: RM 42.30

Canmake Cream Cheek 16 Almond Terracotta

This! is definitely my favourite blush from their cheek product

range!

Why? It gives you that natural flush with clear glass skin effect!

The colour is not too opaque and its gel-type formulation allows the

natural glow of your skin to peek through the colour of the

blusher!

I have light to medium skin tone and I always find pinky blusher

unflattening on me. So, I tend to go for terracotta, coral or

slightly mauvey colours.

This cream cheek can be easily applied with your fingers and it does

not only function as blusher. You can also apply this product on

your lips to give your lips some colouration! Definitely an A++

product and very travel friendly!.

Normal Price: RM 40.50

Canmake Glow Fluer Cheek 10 - Terracotta Fluer

This cheek palette is another great product from Canmake! I like how

they have 4 colours in one palette. I had tried using this as my

eyeshadow and I love how it turns out. The finish is not mad matte

but instead a soft satin finish in my opinion. These colours are

very true to its name - Terracotta. The pearl particles in the

palette is very fine and it blends onto the cheek naturally with a

pretty glowy finish.

I just can't get over how gorgeous is this colour combination and

the finish! The colours will be more subtle as compared to these

finger swatch. It is very soft and translucent on the cheek.

Normal Price: RM 45.20

My Final Ranking:

Canmake Cream Cheek 16 - Almond Terracotta
Canmake Glow Fluer Cheek 10 - Terracotta Fluer
Canmake Powder Cheek PW41 - Antique Rose

*****This ranking is just my personal preference as a reference for you girls who are eyeing on the products!

I hope you enjoy reading my blogpost. I know I am being lazy and

doesn't upload as frequently as I was. But you can definitely catch

me sharing my makeup ideas and eye makeups on Instagram.

Maintaining and Cleaning of Contact Lenses

Maintaining and Cleaning of Contact Lenses

Wearing colour cosmetics contact lenses has become a norm to enhance the look nowadays. We can see that people in the entertainment industries such as the idols and the actors are often spotted with the use of colour cosmetics contact lenses.

So, here comes the issue. Do you really know how to clean or maintain your eyes and contact lenses? Well I myself searched up the internet and found out that there were actually cases where the eyesight were damaged due to improper cleaning and maintenance of the contact lens. Therefore, I am writing this post today to just remind and also inform you the right way to store and also clean your contact lenses...not only for hygiene purposes but also to maintain the eyesight.

Dos:

1. Wash your hands with soap (antibacterial if possible) and water BEFORE touching your contact lenses.

2. Use fresh contact lens cleaning solution every time.

3. Rub your contact lenses with your fingers while cleaning (even with “no-rub” contact cleaning solutions), then rinse with fresh cleaning solution.

4. Rinse your contact lens case with fresh solution, and leave it OVERTUNRNED and OPEN to dry.

5. Always keep your solution bottle capped.

6. Follow the instructions on the contact lens cleaning solution, contact lens and also storing solution.

7. Replace contact lens case every three months.

8. Always soak your new contact lens overnight before wearing.

9. Check the life span and expiry date of contact lenses before you wear.

10. Discard dry out contact lenses!

Don’ts:

1. Do not use saline solution, sterile water, saliva, tap water or rewetting drops to clean your lens (None of these serve to disinfect and clean your lens).

2. Don’t let your fingernails get in contact with the lenses. (Nails may scratch the lens and hide germs and dirt)

3. Do not reuse the cleaning and storing solution.

4. Do not clean your lens case with tap water (might contain impurities and microorganisms).

5. Avoid wearing contact lenses when you are battling with flu.
