happy holiday everyone!! and since i'm holiday, i intend to keep updating about my recent purchase from my beauty story. and the first one i will review is their magical cc cream. this is the description from their official website: beauty story cc cream real complexion care is an all-in-one multi-tasking cream that provides double care of skin while actively color corrects a range of complexion concerns including dullness, sallowness, and redness, and visibly lessen the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks instantly and over time. with an advanced, lightweight formula, this color-correcting cream creates a magical youthful glow while providing antiaging treatment, complexion corrector, moisturizer, and suncreen protection of SPF 30 and PA++. it's formulated without parabens and phthalates.
the packaging: the cc cream comes in a plastic tube (like toothpaste tube) with plastic cap and pump. yeyy!! it's easy to use and dispense the product.. mess free.. but unfortunately, it might hard to control how much you want to pump. it also only comes in one size, 30 ml, so probably for some people, it's not that travel friendly.
the smell: hmmm.. i have to say it smells divine... not to fragrant.. but it still has subtle scent when you applied it on your skin.
the product: cc cream is known for their one shades for all, unlike bb cream that might comes in different shades, so probably this can cause trouble for darker skin. but for me, i find it okay. as any advertising of cc cream, they always say that the cc cream will change to match your skintone. actually, the cream is pink, and yes, lately when i applied it on my face, slowly it will blend in. but unlike etude house or skinfood cc cream, the changes is not that drastic. both brand i mentioned before, the cc cream is white and i can see clearly that it changes to beige and then my skintone. but both are slightly lighter than my actual skintone. while this cc cream blends in completely. for you who have oily skin, this one might not hold oil very well, so you might want to dust your t-zone with powder for extra oil control. but for dry to normal skin, i think it will be okay to use it alone.
the coverage: this one promises that it will take care of dullness, sallowness, and redness, lessen dark spots, sun spots and post acne marks. well, i have most of them. dullness and sallowness vanished, but as for redness, i can see some redness around my nostrils. as for dark spots, sun spots, and post acne marks, none of them are lessen with this cream. so if you want more coverage to tackle those problems, i suggest you top it off with bb cream. i've tried to cover my post acne marks with bb cream and it works.
so, am i impress with this one? well, i do hope it will cover redness more, though i'm not hoping it will cover my spots. i love my freckles anyway. but as for fuss-free base makeup, i like this cc cream. i like how it doesn't make me look like white-cast ghost unlike two brands i mentioned before. it helps make me look more polished a little bit, but not too much. well, as a mom of two, i want people to see that i can still look nice but not too much makeup.. so this one helps a bit. will i buy it again? probably.. if you're looking for something very sheer and just helping you to cover minimal redness, i will recommend this one. but if you're dark skin, very oily skin, looking for more coverage, then skip this one.
