This post had been in draft since 2015! Shows how much of a procrastinator I am, eek... I'm sure you all are familiar with its function. In case you didn't, CC cream short for colour correcting cream, helps with correcting the skin tone, provide a little to no amount of coverage and SPF; 3 in 1. I personally am in love with my Laneige BB cushion ever since I first laid my hands on it, been using it for 3 years and still counting. I recently purchased the IOPE Air Cushion 5th Generation Cushion, which I'll probably review it later, if I'm not lazy, ehem... From what I've heard is that CC cream doesn't just beautify your face, it also helps to improve the condition of your skin. (I can straight up tell you that's a lie) The daily long-term use of BB cream has caused pimples on my face, one or two once in awhile, and making the blackheads on my nose more stubborn than ever, which is why I decided to get this tube of CC cream to test it out.

PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Brand: Banila Co.
Product: CC Cream
Purpose: Brightens and moisturizes skin with sun protection 30SPF
Price: RM56 RM74 (now)
Size: 30ml
Country: Made in Korea
Description: This water-based color correcting formula helps create youthful, radiant complexion with the transparent brightening capsules while the herb water complex moisturizes the skin. 


RATING: 

OVERALL: 
I really like how natural it looks on my skin, because I'm a night owl (old habit die hard) and usually when I wake up, I look dead, for some reason sleeping late causes dull skin, but this product brightens up my dull skin. So, I've seen people using CC and BB cream together and I tried layering it underneath with my Laneige BB cushion. It didn't work, it ended up looking crease and cakey. 

Will I be repurchasing this item, no. Honestly, I don't think there's any differences between CC and BB cream, even though it has been claimed that CC cream is more of a skincare product. It's definitely looks much more natural on the skin compared to BB cream, because it doesn't have much coverage, but not all CC cream are the same. Some CC cream does provide quite an amount of coverage (EX: FaceShop's CC Cream)

What do you think? CC or BB cream? Which one works better for you? In my opinion, they both pretty much looks and feels the same to me.

With a blink of an eye, it's 2017 now (I'm still not ready for 2017!) 
It's scary how time flies by so fast, but this also means it's the start of a new beginning. During the mid-December, I actually went on a trip to Japan with a friend of mine that we've planned together since August. When we arrived in Japan, it was already night time so we were rushing to catch the last train. The whole train system is confusing af to me and upon arriving at the station, it's a 7mins walk from the station to the hotel, which is fine, I love to walk BUT! It was raining heavily, which is something that I'd never expect to happen... So, I stood there and decided to wait for the rain to die down a lil before heading to the hotel. Unfortunately, the odds are not in my favor, the metro worker then came up to us and told us that they're closing the station soon... And so, we ran out into the heavy rain, seeking for the nearest convenient store to hide from the rain but it's wayyy too far from us, by the time we reach the convenient store, we'll be soaked in rain, so we ended up standing under the canopy with a row of closed stores.

Few minutes passed, and the rain wasn't slowing down so we decided to grab a cab, but no cab was to be seen... We stood there for quite a while (Which felt like an eternity) and it was then we saw a few Japanese men in suits getting out from a store, laughing loudly. My friend then immediately went up to them and asked for help, (Which I think it's crazy cause they were drunk af) one of the men even insisted on giving his umbrella to us. When he saw a cab coming, he jumped out into the rain to stop it. We shared the cab, the man was really helpful and nice (Not sure if it's because that he was drunk as he reeked of alcohol) But am grateful that we've met someone this kind. The rest of the trip was fun, though I keep getting lost even with the help of Google Maps.

Greetings snowflakes!! I'll be sharing with you the pieces I've gotten from this Liz Lisa lucky bag that cost only ¥5400 (with tax) I was actually hoping to get pieces that are white or pink in colour but ended up with 3 pieces that are blue in colour   I wasn't really that upset until I saw what the others have gotten from this lucky bag. I'm still contemplating whether or not to sell the entire bag off or to keep some of the pieces to myself as I do quite like the sleeveless crop top that's in light pink colour, but if there's any of you that would like to buy/ swap any of the items from the bag or everything that's in this bag, feel free to message me about it. (Update: Sold)




Most of the items from the lucky bag can be found in the outlet section. Nothing surprising, well, mine that is to be more specific since I really am not a fan of blue colour. I saw a tweet that says that the Disney Beauty & The Beast OP is included in the bag, but so far I haven't seen anybody who got it yet. Hm, I wouldn't say I regret getting this lucky bag because of the price, but like I said before, not a fan of blue colour, I just couldn't be happy with the content and not to mention that there's this funky smell from the OP, it has this washed jeans that has been left overnight in the machine being kinda smell. It's not that strong, but when I was trying the OP, it's just blergh, I can't.
