Product Review: Snow DD Cream Ultra-Light Perfect Foundation Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++

Tuesday, April 03, 2018

     From bb cream, to cc cream, and now it's dd cream. If you're a beauty junkie, prolly you know what bb or beauty blemish and cc or color correct creams play in the beauty department. These makeup products were introduced in the market years ago and Koreans are at the forefront of this makeup trend.

     A BB cream is a makeup product that has skincare benefits. Some describe it as lighter than foundation but heavier for a tinted moisturizer and most of the brands available gives full coverage. On the other hand, CC cream is a color correction cream that can hide redness and other skin imperfections thus it's lighter than bb cream as it corrects than conceals. Now enter DD cream which stands for "disguise and diminish" or daily defense according to beauty gurus who have tried one. Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Snow DD Cream that was sent to me by cheskasstore.net for a review.

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

Thursday, June 02, 2016

     Facial masks are life-savers. If your skin needs that extra TLC (tender-loving-care) because of stress and other skin problems, then you should start investing in facial masks that target different facial problems. There are different kinds and forms of facial mask on the market today, I've tried a lot and made a review already. 

     In my observation, most facial masks available in the market today are in paper sheet and gel-type form because these are easy to apply and convenient to use. Those also required less waiting time and perfect for busy ladies who want to see immediate results. What if you need a facial mask that's not only perfect for that much needed 'me time'? There's a solution for that! A luxurious mask that is not only made for relaxing and repairing troubled skin- a mask that is good as gold! Intrigued? Let me introduce to you Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask. It's an overnight mask that is made with 24K gold and dubbed as the best-selling sleeping mask in Thailand. Deets after the jump :)

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask
   
     This product was sent to me by Cheska's Online Store months ago. It's a long overdue review because I've been using other whitening products back then. To see how effective a product, I see to that I stop applying whitening creams I'm currently using to give way to the new ones. Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask is intended for overnight use. Meaning, no rinsing or wiping of the product after application. You literally have to sleep with the mask on your face. You can use the facial mask for two to three times a week.

     I've been using the product for more than three weeks now. I use it twice or thrice a week. I can say that the product is a bit hassle to use because you have to apply it to your face and let it dry before sleeping. The color of this mask is white gold. It's white upon application and turns gold after a few minutes.

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask
My apologies for this blurry photo, can't figure out why my phone camera can't capture it clearly :(
     
     So after using it religiously, I can say that it helped me in lightening some of the dark marks on my chin which was caused by pimples that I popped :( I've been bugged with cystic pimples around my chin a week before or after my period. Too bad that I wasn't able to take the before photo of my chin :(

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask
   
     The texture of this mask is thick and creamy. Like what I've mentioned above, it's white-gold in color and will turn gold after application. The scent is not overpowering. I describe it as rose-scented but very subtle. The photo below shows how the mask looks like after application.

     As you can see on my photo below, some parts of my face are brighter and if you'll look closely on the right side of my chin, the blemishes is not visible and dark in this photos. I swear, it's really dark before that I have to apply a concealer to cover it. Now it's barely noticeable with bb cream of tinted moisturizer. For the freckles, it did nothing because the color and size are still the same. 

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask
My face upon waking up. My apologies for the eye bags. Sleeping less than 5 hours for a week now :(

What I like:
  • The packaging- it comes in a very sturdy plastic packing with top lid and spatula.
  • The scent is not overpowering.
  • A little goes a long way.
  • The texture is thick but very easy to spread on my face.
  • No irritation, breakouts, or whatsoever during the time I'm using the face mask.
  • It made my skin glowing and brighter the next day.
  • It lightened some of the pimple marks on my chin.
  • Batch, manufacturing, and expiry dates printed on the packaging.

What I don't like:
  • It's pricey compared to other overnight facial mask in the market.
  • The application can be hassle for those who just prefer putting the mask on their face in just 1-2-3.
  • It takes time to dry to make sure that it will not transfer on your pillow.
  • Not easily accessible as you have to buy it online.

Will I repurchase? Still thinking as I have more than half of the tub to finish. 

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I love applying facial mask weekly to boost all the facial care products that I apply on my face everyday. Since this facial mask is not intended for relaxation, I will not elaborate more on that. I'm happy with the results that it lightened some pimple marks on my chin but I'm having second thoughts in other areas like the application and the price. 

     If you have the money to spend and wanted to whiten and even out your skin tone, this product will help you work on that. I think I just need to use it religiously for more than one month to see maximum results. This is a luxurious mask to firm, whiten, and brighten your face so it you want to amp up your whitening game in the next level, this mask is for you!

Do you use facial mask weekly? What's your favorite brand?
