TONYMOLY Egg Pore Tightening Pack Review

Hello! :D

I was going to make a post about cushion foundations but I found this review on my drafts, I forgot to post it. OTL

Cute packaging! :D

Product Description:

The Tonymoly Egg Pore Tightening Pack is a clay mask that is enriched with egg white and Camellias extracts to help tighten your pores and give your skin a deep-down cleansing experience. It also contains keratin that is an effective skin whitening agent.

I use this twice a week.

Ingredients list

I usually just apply this on my nose and cheeks (same with the photo above) because that's where the pores are the most visible but you can also use apply this in your whole face if you wish. Avoid the eye and lip area.

The top of the egg, you can crack this and use it to grow a plant! I haven't tried cracking mine yet but some said it already includes seeds inside. :O I don't think mine has seeds though. XD

you can see the manufacturing date at the bottom!

When you open the egg, you'll see a yellow lid that prevents the product from going all over the place.

My dad thought this was peanut butter. lol

I don't really think the yellow lid was needed because this has a thick jelly like texture. Unlike other clay masks, this can be easily spread but IT DOESN'T INCLUDE A SPATULAAAA! If you don't have any extra spatula, just make sure that your hands are clean when getting the product.

It actually dries fast, depends on how thick you apply it and when it dries it doesn't feel hard unlike other clay masks so you don't have to worry about not being able to talk or smile while using this. It has a slight cooling and tightening effect while wearing this mask and after washing it off, it leaves your skin very smooth, soft and it brightens your face as well. It's easy to wash off and doesn't leave you skin feeling dry. However, I only saw a very slight change on the size of my pores after using it and it will only lasts for short amount of time so I was a pretty disappointed because.. maybe my expectations were a bit too high or maybe you need to use the whole Egg Pore line so you can see some good results. :P Another thing I didn't quite like about this is the scent, it's hard to explain. (I wish I can just let you guys smell it rn lol) It doesn't smell really bad but somehow it smells very artificial? and the scent is quite strong too, it doesn't really bother that much but this might not be appealing to those who are sensitive to fragrances.

Pros:
Cute packaging
Leaves skin soft and smooth
Brightens
Easy to wash off
Slightly minimizes the size of the pores
Has slight cooling effect
Not drying
Cons:
No spatula
Scent
Contains Paraben

I wouldn't really recommend this because there were only slight changes and it only last for a short amount of time but who knows, we all have different types of skin so what doesn't work for me may work for you. XD

The product mentioned was sponsored by Bntnews. I'm not getting paid to write a positive review. Opinions expressed are based on my own experience and 100% honest.
Thanks to Bntnews for sending me this product!
Will you try this product or do you know any product that works better than this one?
:D

I'm currently listening to BTOB's When I was your man, i like it. *o* I'm looking forward to their comeback! Also, Bangtan has a variety show and it will air next week! Yay! So excited. :D

Review: Tonymoly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream

Hello everyone! :D
Sorry I haven't posted anything for over a week. A lot of unexpected things happened so I've been extremely busy but I am back with a cc cream review, finally! LOL I have 5 cc creams right now but I decided to post about this one first, the Tonymoly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream SPF 30 PA++.

This product was sent to me by Bntnews for review purposes.

Check out the other stuffs that was sent to me by Bntnews:

The meaning of CC in CC cream differs in every brand, for some it's Color Control, Correct and Care, Color Change, etc. This is supposed to be the upgraded version of BB cream because it's skincare + make up. BB creams has skincare properties too but CC creams are supposed to contain more. If you're looking for something that can provide a good coverage then I'd say CC creams are not for you. Might as well stick to your foundation or bb cream or maybe we can wait until Korean cosmetic companies release an EE cream, FF cream or even ZZ cream maybe those can provide even higher coverage. LOLJK If you have a nice skin that doesn't require much coverage and you're just being lazy and looking for something that can give your skin a nice glow then go grab some CC creams now. :P
Most cc creams has dewy finish but if you're not into that, don't worry, there are some CC cream that offers semi-matte or matte finish. :D
I'm pretty sure you guys are all aware now what cc creams are since it's been a really huge hit in Korea so I'm just going to start with the review now. :P I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos, it's rainy season here, it just rains every single day so I can't take proper photos. D:

Front and back of the box. The back was written in Korean. :P

As you can see (or maybe you can't lol), it's the ingredients list.
7 Free - paraben, benzo phenon, talc, mineral oil, organic pigment, sulfate surfactant

It comes in a hard plastic bottle with a pump. Chic. This has got to be my most favorite packaging of all the 5 cc creams I currently have.

The pump dispenser. Very hygienic and convenient although you have to be careful when you pump it because sometimes too much product comes out. I always wipe this after using because I don't like seeing my stuffs get dirty. XD

Manufacturing date at the bottom of the tube.

This is said to have Black, Red and Yellow color capsules which is really hard to see if you just look at it in real life but as I was browsing the photos I took I didn't really see red and yellow. More of black and brownish micro color capsules but once you started blending it in, the black and brownish color capsules will pop and mix with each other and you'll see the red and yellow as you blend it in your skin. This cc cream also claims that these micro color capsules will change according to your own skin color. I asked my friend who has a darker skin tone to try this and it's light on her. I'm not sure if she didn't blend it well but it didn't match her skin tone at all. This is actually a bit dark when I swatched it on my wrist, it still looks a bit darker even when I blended it really well. It's not really that noticeable unless you look at it real close but that's on my wrist, good thing it matches well on my face. lol Do I even make sense here? Haha!

Did some oil test too. lol

That's a lot, right? Or maybe it's needed for the dewy effect? I didn't notice if it controls oil on my face because I wore this during summer and it's rainy season here now, what I noticed though is that this is not perfect for summer because it just melts when you sweat.

Here's how it looks on paper:

This is how the color changes on paper.

on skin

This is how the color changes on my skin, from white to off white to pinkish beige(?) to yellowish beige(?) As you can see, (if you can't, maybe tilt your screen a bit?) it really gave my skin a dewy glow and it's not sticky. It's very light and it doesn't feel like I'm wearing any make up. Perfect for the No Make up or just everyday look.

Sorry about the lighting. D:
Like what I said earlier, cc creams doesn't offer high coverage and so as you can see this one has a very sheer coverage. I'd say if you're not lazy just use this as a base then top it with your favorite bb cream or foundation. :D I tried mixing it with my favorite bb cream but my fave bb cream doesn't have much coverage as well so.. fail. lol

No cc cream - partially blended - fully blended

Pros:
Affordable
Nice packaging
Hygienic
Has SPF 30 PA++
Moisturizing
Feels light
Brightens skin and gives a nice glow
Able to make pores a bit less visible
Natural finish

Cons:
Sheer coverage
Doesn't really match all skin tone
Not sweatproof
Not long lasting
Floral Scent (can be a pro too)
Dewy finish (can be a pro too)

Get yours here:
Ibuybeauti: $21.99
