Review: Nip + Fab CC Eye Fix

Hello

With the CC cream trend going on, Nip + Fab has released their new CC Eye Fix.

 

Claims:

• 2 in 1 eye cream
• Illuminates + brightens
• Conceal dark circles

Swatch

 

Before and after

 

My final thoughts:
Great 2 in 1 product if you have lesser time to get ready in the morning. Blends well but I find that the brightening effect does not work on me. Maybe because I got a shade that is the same as my skin tone. Still, easy to use with the twist up pen. All said, as a mum and soon to be mum of 2, I find this definitely helpful in speeding up my makeup routine!

Retails at $19-$20 at Watsons, comes in two shades only (light and medium).

Have you tried it yet?

Review: The Face Shop Aura Colour Control Cream

Hello

This will be the last cc cream that I am reviewing. I did reviews on 2 other cc creams here and here.

The Face Shop Face it Aura Colour Control Cream SPF 30 PA++
Retails at $49.90 (20g), this is the most expensive cc cream I have paid for so far. I feel like that I am paying more for its packaging than the product itself. Available in 3 shades, (mine is in 02 Natural Beige) I am the 2nd shade. While some find the packaging compact and travel friendly, I feel that its a bit bulky as I don't usually touch up on my base makeup except powder. Instead of the regular pump, you will need to press the semi-circle button to dispense the product.

Unlike the other 2 cc creams I owned, this one dispense to a flesh tone instead of white. Consistency is thicker than my other 2.

 

Claims

Left: Bare face

Right: With CC Cream

Full Face makeup

My Final thoughts:
Out of the 3 I have, this has the highest coverage. Medium to full. Though the consistency is thicker, it is easier to blend into my skin probably because its already close to my skin colour even before application. However, it is not my favourite finish (dewy). Definitely not for oily skin. In terms of staying power, it starts to get oily by the 4th hour even though I powdered my face. Not something I want if I am outdoors a lot. Like I said, packaging too bulky for me. All in all, I feel that I am better off with my other 2 cc creams.


That sums up my cc creams reviews. Would you like a brief summary and round up of all the 3 cc creams I have tried? Let me know in the comment section below!

Review: Holika Holika Face 2 Change CC Cream

Hello

This post will be another cc cream review. I have reviewed Etude House's cc cream here . I will be reviewing The Face Shop cc cream in another post. Hopefully with my reviews of 3 cc creams, it will help you  decide which cc creams interest/appeal/suit you better.

Retails at $39.90, it is slightly higher price than Etude's cc cream. However, Holika Holika's cc cream comes in a bundle which includes a Pure Mellow Multi Puff. I have not try the sponge yet. It is shaped like a pear. 

Packaged in a black pump tube, u will need to pump countless times prior to first use. There are 2 tones available. The BA that served me said that 01 is more of a pink based while 02 is more yellow based. I got mine in shade 02.

Contains 50ml of product, it is definitely more than Etude's cc creams which contains only 30ml. Also, Holika Holika's cc cream has a higher SPF than Etude's. ( SPF 32 vs SPF 30)

With both cc creams, they comes out white at first but adjust to a more skin colour after application.

Claims: UV protection + Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle

Left: With cc cream

Right Without cc cream

With cc cream all over face

After setting with my Chanel loose powder.

My Final Thoughts:
I love this cc cream better than my Etude's cc cream for so many reasons. Its more value for money though you pay  higher price for Holika's ( $39.90 for 50ml, free multi puff. Etude's priced at $25.90 for 30ml) Holika's provide more coverage. Adjust to skin tone much faster even before you rub it in.  It looks more of my skin tone. Finish is more natural ( not matte, not dewy). It lasted the whole day for me even after being out and about for more than 10hours. It looked the same as when I first applied it.

Have you tried this cc cream? Which is your fav? Let me know in the comments section. Look out for The Face Shop cc cream review next week!
