Frankly said i'm not a fan of cc cream, i found myself always use bb cream and bb cushion for daily basis. Couple months ago i went to seoul for a short holiday. Bought some of cc cream from various brands, including LANEIGE water base cc cream SPF 36 PA++. cc cream is hype enough as one of korean make up essential since last year..many korean women now switch their favorite from BB to CC.

As we all know CC is stand for Color Correction, and we also know that the typical korean makeup base aims to create a dewy finish-look.

Not many cc cream from korean brands can create a perfect dewy look , even LANEIGE sister brand, Aritaum.

In this post i compare two cc cream products, one is Aritaum and one is LANEIGE.

Left is aritaum oil serum cc cream 

Right is laneige water base cc cream

From the texture itself, we could see those two have a different texture. Aritaum's is more loose than laneige has..

The color is also different..aritaum has a color like bb cream, laneige has a color almost like their primer products.

When i blend the cc cream incould see a very different result.. Surprisingly, LANEIGE got the best result and absorbed really well and doesn't leave like a sticky-feeling like aritaum's cc..definitely one of CC cream product that will be my new favorite makeup base, eventhough the coverage is not as good as Laneige Snow BB cream but so far this product really meet my expectation.

I already familiar with white plus renew series from refiner to essence, i've got a chance to experience the newest addition to this series - white plus renew original essence..

for the last two weeks i have compared this original essence with the essence and......

As stated in their website, LANEIGE white plus renew original essence will gives you a better skin complexion and bright-clear skin tone

Second week trial

This is my first trial using LANEIGE Blackhead Melting Gel. Beyond excited!

Blakhead is one of common skin problem eery wmen had, include me. I've tried so many nose strip or blackhead cleanser brands but i found that they're not that effective to fight all the sebum and blackheads on my forehead, chin and nose. Those Blackheads still clearly be seen with naked eyes.

Thanks LANEIGE indonesia for gave me a free bottle of LANEIGE blackhead Melting Gel that always be the sold out item every time i go to LANEIGE counter in kota kasablanka (psttt..if the counter runs out the stock you can email directly to division of marketing to help you bought from them and dispatch the product to the counter or your door once the stock available)

Melting Gel containing Keratinase enzyme which effectively melts down dead skin cells like blackhead and easily rollable silicon melting-massager create synergy effect to melt down dead skin cells and blackheads that aare clogging trouble-prone areas of nose and he surrounding areas. 

Keratinase mostly made of Keratin which is effective in dissolving excess dead skin cells and blackhead is superior to AHA, commonly used for dissolving dead skin cells in less damaging but more effective way of melting and removing blackhead clogged poreand dead skin cells. It facilitates skin cell turn-over and changes dark and rough skin surface into smoother and brighter skin.

For the first time application you need to push the a little harder until the gel comes out, 

when you apply the gel on your nose or forehead you will get a heat  

HOW TO USE:

after washing your face at night, pump appropriate amount of melting gel and apply it to the area with blackheads. Massage the area thoroughly with a circular motion.

Wait about 20 seconds for blackheads to melt, and then rinse the gel off thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Repeated applications will be required for severe blackheads, and the gel can be applied to other areas with excessive sebum, including forehead and cheeks.

Recommended use is 3~4 times a week, which can be altered depending on your skin condition.

Before and after application! You can spotted the difference

I love to put a light makeup on my face, beside using LANEIGE BB snow soothing cushion I also apply forever definite compact foundation as my make up foundation. at the first try I found a very interesting thing.. this foundation unexpectedly gives a perfect coverage to my face without feeling too heavy, or flaky. 

 

if we compared to other regular compact foundation, LANEIGE forever definite compact foundation through a refined mixture process and analysis of each particle of powder that makes this foundation delivers exceptionally smooth delicate particles for an excellent and precise finish with softly blending coverage. Definite fitting powder also gives natural complexion for beautiful and flawless looking skin with particles that preventing clumping for excellent coverage and absorption and long-lasting make up. 

 

Bloom lasting powder on this foundation contains excellent sebum-absorbing that able to control and maintain oil-moisture level on the skin also eliminating skin dryness. no more cracky make up, say bye-bye to dryness make up.

 

Last week i was invited to LANEIGE indonesia beauty workshop with one of notorious LANEIGE's global K-MUA Ms.Cat Koh at penang bistro grand indonesia. (Excited!!!)

Ms. Cat Koh demonstrated her expertise in k-makeup sphere and tell us the secrets how to have a latest look according to k-makeup trend.

The interesting part is she gave us the "don't cry make-up" (Fyi, this trend is popular among the koreans nowdays) I'll give you hint- you'll find this in every k-drama scenes!

Have you find the answer why they called it "don't cry makeup" trend?

the answer is because they see that every female actors looks cute and fragile at the same time when they cries in drama scene. So the look inspired from this kind of scene. (Unexpected huh??)

The workshop WAS so amazing, Cat also Extra friendly and easy going to all the participants. This is the most fun and intimate beauty workshop i ever attended. Thanks LANEIGE indonesia for inviting me.

Well as you see on the pics below, LANEIGE indonesia also introduce their new product: PERFECT PRO BB KIT to their loyal customers

I've been thru a lot of love-hate relationship with some skincare brands..but i guess this is the perfect time to reveal the truth about a new relationship between me and LANEIGE, well it seems deeper than i thought 'cos i've been using laneige white plus renew series for my skin care for almost a month now and yes, there's no allergic symptomp or other side effect ( so, it means...laneige product suit for my skin )
