CC Cream?? Next generation of BB Cream?

Yesterday i read some information about new beauty product called CC Cream. Are you guys already knows about that? ^^
I'm really excited about this new invention. CC Cream or Color Control cream or Color Correcting cream is brightening primer,foundation,moisturizer,spf (sunblock,uva/uvb filter),and anti aging cream. Hmm..similar with bb cream right? but actually cc cream has more benefit than bb cream. I get this from wikipedia,you can check.

"CC cream is now also widely used in Asia to provide natural-looking skin coverage. While BB cream was manufactured primarily as a skincare product, CC cream was developed to retain all the skincare benefits of BB cream with added nourishing ingredients and the additional aim to provide more effective skin coverage. CC cream is the newest miracle beauty product available and was formulated with technology originating in industry-leader Japan and further developed in Korea."

As you see,it's like new miracle cream after bb cream. Plus this cc cream is free oil formula ( really good for oily skin type) and more lighter than bb cream.It also treats and covers uneven skin tones more effectively and blends with skin tone better than BB creams that sometimes appear too light on certain skin tones. ( You will never get "mask face")

From rachel k cosmetic which already launching their cc cream,cc cream has additional beneficial ingredients,like :

- White Tea extract, which contains powerful antioxidants (more than green tea because it undergoes less processing and is believed to be more beneficial than any other kind of tea ) that absorb, weaken and neutralize free radicals continuously and also provide protection from increasingly harsh environmental factors such as pollution, dust, and chemicals in the air. It boosts the immunity of skin cells and prevents wrinkling and pigmentation

- Green Tea Leaf extract, also rich in antioxidants and boasts anti-inflammatory and natural disinfecting properties

- Water is omnipresent in all cosmetic products. This water can come from different origins such as the sea, thermal sources, and flower or plants waters. The origin of sea water is important. General cosmetics do not permeate into the skin because of the excessive oil content, causing glossiness. CC Cream however contains Deep Sea Water which gives resilience and moistness to the skin and allows for better skin permeability.

- Macadamia Nut Oil, an ideal anti-aging supplement for cosmetics, due to its high content of Palmitoleic Acid, an essential component of human sebum, which is lost with aging

- Natural Vitamin E, which protects body tissues from breakdown and signs of photo aging, and aids in reducing the appearance of stretch marks, age spots, while maintaining the skin's oil balance and reduces trans-epidermal water loss from skin, strengthening the skin's barrier function.

- The presence of Epidermal Growth Factor also stimulates collagen production in skin and speeds up skin regeneration. CC cream also treats and covers uneven skin tones more effectively and after leaving on for a 2-3 minutes, blends with skin tone better than BB Creams that sometimes appear too light on certain skin tones.

Besides being waterproof, Mineral CC cream includes an SPF 35 PA++ rating to ensure protection from damaging UVA and UVB rays while remaining smudge-proof. Its deeply moisturizing properties also make it just as suitable for use in dry climates, and regardless of climate, the nutritive ingredients in CC cream help keep skin hydrated and supple all day.

So amazing right??

CC cream guarantees!
• Less oily
• More whitening effect
• More brightening effect
• Better coverage
• No breakouts
• More moisturizing
• More long lasting
• Better stability

Now,still few brand who already launching their cc cream,New brands on the market aside others include Rachel K, iFiona, and Tiannuo.The CC cream was made popular by Rachel K in Asia in 2011.In 2012 CHANEL is the first international brand to sign on and launched its own CC (Complete Correction) Cream on the Chinese market.

Look out for the first CC cream to hit the U.S. this October: Olay Total Effects CC Tone Correcting Moisturizer. The tinted formula contains 2-percent N-acetyl glucosamine and 4-percent niacinimide. In January, Juice Beauty will launch Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream, which aims to repair DNA damage and boost cellular regeneration with the antioxidant vitamin C and resveratrol.

And i read that Missha will make their cc cream too,but i still can't find anything about that. :(
I hope korean cosmetics brand won't stuck in their bb cream and move on to cc cream too..

REVIEW : THE FACE SHOP VOLCANIC CLAY BLACKHEAD CLAY NOSE PACK

Hello eyeryone..^^
This is monday and i hope you still can smile beautifully today..^^

Hari ini gw mw ngereview salah satu produk untuk ngebersihin komedo-komedo gw yang udah menumpuk sejak jaman dahulu kala. Dulu gw ngerasa ga penting ngeluarin komedo2 di hidung gw yang udah sampai menghitam ga jelas ( aaaaargh... ngebayangin muka gw dulu jd gimana gtu ), padahal udah sering dibilangin sama ci2 gw supaya pada dipencetin atau pergi facial ke salon. Tapi yaa gmna,masih super males ngerawat muka ( nyesel bgt sekarang.. T^T).  Setelah gw sadar dengan semua kesalahan gw selama ini,gw akhirnya mulai merhatiin hidung gw yang sama sekali ga mulus itu. Berbagai macam produk gw coba & masih blm bisa nemuin yang paling ampuh bersihin komedo2 gw. Salah satunya produk the face shop ini.

Gw baca banyak yang bilang produk blackhead ex dr the face shop ampuh banget ngangkat komedo. Tapi sayang produknya udah jarang ada dan muncul yang baru jenis volcanic clay. Hmm..setelah menimbang-nimbang akhirnya gw coba beli yang seri volcanic clay ini. Gara2 udah super urgent,gw males nunggu pesenan dr korea langsung jadi gw cari yang jual ready stock. Cukup terjangkau harganya,walaupun gw bingung kenapa harganya lebih murah dari website asli. =.=

Petama kali sampai langsung gw cobain di hidung gw,cm gw lupa ga di steam dulu jadi gw pikir hasilnya pasti jd ga maksimal. Masker hidung ini berjenis peel off yang bisa langsung dicabut setelah kering atau bisa dibilas dgn air hangat.

Warna pack ini putih dgn bau yang tidak menyengat,hmm gw ga tau ini bau apa yang jelas ga begitu mengganggu selama ditempel di hidung.

Cara pakainya cukup dioleskan ke sekitar hidung setelah cuci muka,paling efektif sebelumnya muka disteam dl dgn uap air panas ( air panas ditaruh di baskom atau mangkuk kemudian taruh wajah di atas air tersebut,jaga jarak aman supaya tidak terlalu panas kemudian taruh handuk di atas kepala menutupi sekitar wajah seperti buat tenda..^^) atau pakai handuk yang sudah direndam dengan air hangat, ini supaya pori-pori nya terbuka. Setelah sekitar 2 menit pakai pack ini,jgn terlalu banyak karena pack ini keringnya lama. Cukup dioles secukupnya. Tunggu sampai kering dan mulailah acara yang paling fun menurut gw,kelupas2 masker yang udah kering..hwhwhw. Cukup tarik dari ujung dgn lembut, saat ditarik ga akan sakit koq kaya masker-masker peel off lainnya.^^

Gw jujur agak kecewa waktu liat cuma beberapa komedo yang keangkat. Ga sepenuhnya ngebersihin komedo jaman dulu gw. Ok gw sadar karena ini komedo udah mengendap lama jadi ada beberapa yang ketarik aja gw udah bersyukur. Maybe it'll works for new blackhead.

Jadi sekarang gw cuma pake ini buat pendahuluan sebelum gw mengoperasi hidung gw pake alat pencet komedo.Gw tau sebenernya klo bukan ahli ga boleh pencet2 sembarangan,cm kan buang2 duit klo ke salon.(IRIT). Gw coba buat se streril mungkin & ga sampai bikin luka-luka. Sejauh ini sih metode mencet2 emang paling ampuh buat komedo gw.

Yang gw ga suka :

- Ga bisa buat komedo gw
- Keringnya lama

Yang gw suka :

- Ga sakit waktu ditarik
- Baunya ga menyengat

- Murah

See you again in next post. I hope you enjoy it.. ^^

REVIEW : HOLIKA HOLIKA THE KING OF BEAN ( BLACK BEAN)

Hai3.. Setelah beberapa lama gw males nulis apapun di blog & sibuk dgn ini itu,akhirnya gw coba nulis sesuatu lagi.. :D
i'm sorry,too busy to use english.. ><

Ok..hari ini gw mw ngereview salah satu best seller dari holika-holika,The king of bean : cleansing foam with black bean. Sumpah walaupun ini disebut sebagai best seller tapi gw susah banget nemuin keterangan ni produk,satu-satunya tmpt gw nemuin tulisan ttg benda ini dalam bahasa inggris adalah di koreadepart.
it says :

Holika Holika The King Of Bean Cleansing Foam

Capacity: 300ml
Product description
Cleansing foam contains king Kong extract 1000ppm

Elasticity and vitalizes skin.Rich and soft bubbles cleanses gently.

[Weed Gree] <= mungkin maksudnya green

Mongo bean extract cleanses dull skin and vitalize.

[Weed Black bean]: Black bean extract gives nutrients and detox to give elasticity.


Sama sekali ga jelas & gw ga nemuin satupun blogger yang sudah ngereview.  :(
Karena penasaran kenapa bisa jadi best seller akhirnya gw beli juga. Ada 2 pilihan bean yang bisa dipilih,green bean & black bean ( disini gw ga ngerti ini kacang hijau atau kacang lainnya,cm klo yg black bean itu kacang kedelai hitam). Gw pilih black bean,tertarik dgn kata2 detox nya & gw suka warna ungunya.. :D

Pertama kali sampai di rumah,gw super shock sm ukurannya.. SUPER GEDE..pantes disebut the king... ukurannya 300ml,kira2 sebesar conditioner dove tube ukuran paling besar..
Gw langsung jatuh cinta sm penampakan cleansing foam ini. :D

Ungu dgn gmbr 2 bean yg super cute.. XD
Tapi sayang gara-gara packaging nya yg terlalu jumbo,cleansing foam ini ga travel friendly.. :(
Nice jg klo cleansing foam ini jatoh & kena kaki gw.. :'(

Petunjuk di belakangnya :

Semua bahasa korea.. :(
i can't read them..

Isinya :

Sorry isinya kemana-mana..isinya agak susah dikeluarin,lagi2 karena ukurannya yg jumbo jadi klo mw dikeluarin harus dipencet agak keras.. hiks..ngerusak tempatnya nanti.
Isinya berwarna putih dgn scrub yang lembut. Baunya sulit dijelaskan,gw ga tau ini bau apa cm ngingetin gw sm bau mobil (???). Pertama gw pake,gw agak terganggu sama baunya yang asing tapi setelah 2 minggu pemakaian gw mulai suka & "kecanduan" dengan baunya. hwhwhw

Kesan pertama waktu abis pakai ini rasanya sih bersih cuma ga smooth. :(
Ga ada rasa ketarik atau kering cm agak keset aja. Tapi setelah 5 mnt rasa kesetnya hilang & jadi smooth. (aneh =.=")

hmm..sejauh ini ga bikin break out,dan malah ngebantu gw ngeringin jerawat2 kecil yang muncul gr2 gw ga cocok sama hada labo. it works for me for elasticity  &  mengecilkan pori-pori juga. (memang itu fungsinya)

Sejauh ini gw sih suka,walaupun masih pengen coba cleansing foam yang lain tapi mungkin gw harus menghabiskan 300ml the king of bean ini dulu. ( How long is that??)
Temen gw bilang bisa buat 2 taun..=.="
Pengen coba yang green bean jg sih,buat dull skin. Belakangan wajah gw agak kusam.. :'(
Harganya sangat-sangat murah untuk ukuran king size. :)
You can check everywhere. :)

Yang gw ga suka :

- Not travel friendly
- Susah dikeluarin
- Sakit pas jatoh di kaki gw. :'(
- Efek keset setelah pemakaian
- Kurang informasi mengenai produk karena pakai bahasa korea semua

Yang gw suka :

- Bener-bener bikin muka gw tambah kenceng,elastis,pori-pori mengecil
- Baunya yang bikin "kecanduan"
- Busanya yang lembut
- Murah dan besar
- Ga bikin muka serasa ketarik/kering
- Untuk pemakaian lebih dari 6 bulan.

Rating : 4/5

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy it. :)
