Got this cute Xmas gift from PINKICON.COM 同 JoshinKoeanMakeupShop last week. So happy to received a Xmas present in early December, and it's nicely packed in cute boxes!
收到嘅分別係 3 Concept Eyes 嘅 Pore Silky Balm，Fairy 1 day Princess 隱形眼鏡同埋韓國Banila Co.嘅 CC Whitening Moisturizing Color Control Base。
They are 3 Concept Eyes - Pore Silky Balm，Fairy 1 day Princess Contact lenses and Banila Co. CC Whitening Moisturizing Color Control Base.
其實我冇近視所以冇戴隱形眼鏡嘅習慣。戴得最多color con應該係Halloween！之不過好多時化好個妝，戴對color con/大眼con的確會令對眼再靚D，個妝再出D。今次收到都幾開心，因為未試過紫色con，之前買的都係灰色或啡色。
Since my eyes are quite healthy, i dont usually wear contact lenses. I think i have wore them most during Halloweens. But sometimes wearing color/ pupil-enlarging lenses can make your makeup pop. I'm happy that they sent me purple color because i only tried and wore grey and brown in the past.
第一次戴日本牌子嘅隱形眼鏡，產地係台灣。
First time trying Japanese contact lenses, they are made in Taiwan.

戴1 day con嘅好處係，唔駛清潔，又唔駛keep住副con。我呢D冇近視嘅人，開副新con，戴一次後又唔知擺幾耐，擺太耐又唔敢再戴..... 唉！
The advantage of wearing 1 day contact lenses is, you dont have to clean them everyday and keep them in cases. It's annoys me when i open a new box of contact lenses, wear them once, keep them in the case and then dunno when i will wear them again.
紫色花紋都幾自然
The purple pattern is pretty natural
我嘅眼珠都唔算細，所以戴左con之後只有少少放大瞳孔嘅效果。而紫色則比我想像中自然。
My pupils are not small, thats y they dont look much bigger after i put on these enlarging contacts. The purple surprisingly looks very subtle on my eyes.
另外收到兩樣都係韓國底妝產品。先講下呢個 3 Concept Eyes嘅 Pore Silky Balm。主要用黎修飾毛孔，令上粉底後個妝更加細緻。之前都想買呢盒或Benefit 的 Dr. Feelgood (豬油膏)，因為我屬於混合性皮膚，T位鼻翼的黑頭及毛孔都幾明顯同易出油。等我試下係咪咁好用先!
Two other products are from Korea. Let's check out this Pore Silky Balm from 3 Concept Eyes. It mainly used to flatten and smoothen out pores before you put on any powder or foundation. I wanted to buy this or the Dr. Feelgood from Benefit, because i have combination skin, my T zone is really oily sometimes and my pores are quite obvious. Ok, so let me try this and see if it works.
盒入面有粉撲同一支小膠棒，可以避免直接接觸化妝品。而粉撲同cream之間就有塊膠隔住。
There's a sponge and a small plastic spoon inside, it avoids touching the product directly. And there's plastic film separating the sponge and the balm.
膏狀balm(個樣好似鞋油)有少少香味，摸起來好柔滑。我試用手指搽上鼻，但係冇乜效果。反而用粉撲搽上鼻就真係可以令平毛孔平滑D，有少少控油既功效。
The balm kind of looks like a shoe wax, it has a light scent of soap. I tried to apply it on my nose with my finger, but it didnt work very well. Then i tried to apply it using the sponge again and it works so much better. My pores are smoothen and it slightly helped with oil controlling.

After
睇唔清楚就睇下呢張close up啦，真係填平左D毛孔。黑頭都冇咁明顯wor，神奇！建議上妝之前搽喺T字位或毛孔粗大嘅位置，毛孔就會隱形喇。
Check the close-up photos below and you will see the difference clearer. Pores are flatten and black heads look not as obvious, miracle! I suggest to only apply it on T zone and where pores are very obvious.
最後就係呢支Banila Co.嘅CC Whitening Moisturizing Color Control Base。幾鍾意佢個樽蓋既設計，好易控制分量，唔驚一次過唧得太多，又唔怕佢會漏。
Last it is this Banila Co. CC Whitening Moisturizing Color Control Base. I like the design of its lid, easy to control, wont squeeze out too much product also prevent leaking.
其實我完全未接觸過CC cream，亦不是對BB cream太有好感。因為我T位好油，BB cream又好厚，好容易會令我塞毛孔。但係原來呢支CC cream好出名! 而CC = Color Control或Color Correction既意思，比BB cream有更強既護膚功能。
In fact I have never tried any CC cream before, not a fan of BB cream either. Beacuse i have oily T zones and BB cream seems too oily n block my pores all the time. Didnt know this CC cream is actually quite famous. Meaning of CC = Color Control or Color Correction, and it contains more skincare functions than BB cream does.
試上手感覺，一唧出黎係白色偏粉紅，有D驚。但好薄，推開後手背明顯比第一張相有光澤左。
When i first squeeze it out from the tube i was a bit worried, its pale pink/ white color. But then i found that its really thin n very easy to blend. Obviously my hand looks brighter in the last pic after applying.
試下上塊面先! 我只係搽左半邊面。啱啱搽完塊面好似好油同白左好多，但過一陣又冇咁白，D色自然返。搽完明顯比冇搽既另一邊光D冇咁暗啞，但係遮瑕度就差少少，我塊面仍然係咁多雀斑同紅印。不過搽左幾個鐘，控油既效果好好wor! 最初我仲擔心會好油同塞毛孔。反而可能乾性皮膚未必啱用，有少少令面上乾位/死皮更加明顯既感覺。
Trying it on my face. I only applied on half of my face. It was a bit creasy and too white when i first apply, it looks more natural after the product sink in. My half face looks much brighter than the other side. It almost has no coverage, my freckles and redness are still very obvious. Oil-controlling is pretty good, thought it would be very creasy and block my pores but it didnt. Guess its not suitable for dry skin, coz it will cakey if you have dead skins on your face.
比較BB cream，我覺得呢支CC cream似係一個makeup base多D。佢有D似我以前用左好耐但最後discontinue左既一支Sofina 珠光 makeup base，咁多年後我終於搵到代替品!! 但如果你係想搵同BB cream差唔多既懶人產品(打底+防曬+粉底一支搞掂)，呢支CC cream可能唔多適合你。
Comparing to BB cream, i think this CC cream is more like a makeup base. It's similar to a Sofina pearl makeup base i've been using (but it discontinued). Now i have found a replacement!! BUT, if you are looking for sth similar to BB cream (makeup base + sunblock + founation all in one), this CC cream might not be what you are looking for.
用後感: 雖然第一次搽係唔鍾意既，因為我expect佢同BB cream係類似既東西。但之後覺得當佢日常防晒用或者妝前打底用仲好。塊面會光D，膚色睇落精神D冇咁殘。搽完佢再搽少少BB Cream或粉底就可以做到Kpop韓妝既白淨透明感。
Review: Altho i didnt like it in the first place as i was expecting sth similar to a BB cream, i started to like it more by using it as a daily sunblock or a makeup base. My face looks brighter and not so tired. If you want the Kpop makeup look, use this as a base and apply BB cream/ foundation after.
Price:
Fairy 1 Day Princess Violet HK$140
3CE Pore Silky Cream HK$98
Banila Co. CC Cream HK$178
Banila Co.喺香港好似冇得賣。 除左飛去韓國之外，可以喺PINKICON.COM or Joshin韓國妝品專門店買到。佢地真係有幾多韓國化妝品同護膚品。另細微如隱形眼鏡眼睫毛，到假髮同相機都有得賣。
Not sure where to get Banila Co. in Hong Kong, i havent seen them around. Apart from flying to Korea, you can buy it through PINKICON.COM or JoshinKoeanMakeupShop. They sell quite a lot of Korean makeup and skincare products. Variety from sth small like contact lenses, false eyelashes, to wig and camera.
