Review: Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF30 PA++ [Giveaway CLOSED]

27Dec11

This is one of the many BB Creams that I'd tried before - Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF 30PA++. I think, it was way back in 2010 that I gotta know about Gowoonsesang.

[Retail Price: SGD$43 / 60ml]

This BB Cream was launched in 2009. It is a make up base that controls sebum, which feels like a light foundation. Highly hydrating and soothing to the skin. The hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, each of these unique formulations works on a cellular level to help the skin achieve and maintain a clearer, healthier look. Comes with SPF30 PA++, ideal for sun block.

Like most BB Creams, it comes in one shade (dark beige). It is lightly scented.

Initially, it does look much darker than my skin tone (as shown from the image above). After a few mins, it somehow "adjust" to blend in with my skin tone albeit still a lil' dark.

What I like about most is its texture; not too thick or runny. Prior applying the BB Cream onto my face, I will usually squeeze some onto the back of palm to warm it up (using my fingers). Easy to apply and spread on the skin. Doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy/sticky. The finish is somewhat dewy, definitely not matte. I must say, the oil control part is pretty decent.

I like how it evens out my skin tone and the coverage is just right for me. My skin looks naturally flawless; redness and dark circles concealed. I do wish that it comes with a slightly lighter shade though, coz I like to look fairer :x

 

And now, for the giveaway! **Gowoonsesang products are provided by Sasa Sg for review & giveaway.**

All sets come with Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF30 PA++ (5ml)Gowoonsesang Dr. G White Aura Serum (1ml). I've added stuff to sweeten the deal.

Gowoonsesang Dr. G White Aura Serum

A refreshing whitening gel essence with a light touch of moisture, the Cell-Light Complex has a 3-step melanin-blocking and whitening function, and together with Niacin Amide promotes the separation of dead skin cells to lighten the melanin pigmentation to allow skin to become bright and clear from within. Peppermint and Rabdosia Rubescens extracts lend elasticity to sagging pores and balance skin tone for velvety moist skin with a dense texture.

Waking Up to Healthy-Looking Skin (Heme Skincare)

29Nov10

Remember my earlier reviews of Heme 24hr Hydrating Sparkling White Mask and Heme 24hr Hydrating Face Moisturizer ?

I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror when I woke up the day after :x Ok, I'm a self-confessed vainpot (LOL). Just by using these two divine Heme products, I could see a noticeable difference in my complexion. Not the most perfect skin but well, I'm pretty much contented with the results (:

Well moisturized & hydrated. Bright & radiant. Soft & smooth. Incredibly good right ? What more could I ask for .. *grins*

3 4 more Heme reviews to be up (: Stay tuned babes ..

A continual collective haul post..

06Aug10

this is a continual haul post from here. just a suggestion, i really seriously hope that there's a 'auto-save' function so that there's no risk of losing the blog contents when i accidentally click the wrong button. do y'all experience the same problem as me ? i know of one though :p you know who you are heez~ it gets pretty annoying since i can't blame anyone but myself. oh well back to happy haul/food post :D

say hi to my very first mac dazzleglass - date night (soft blue purple with pearl) ! there's alot who are not fond of the stickiness of mac glosses. well, i don't really mind as i simply love the signature mac vanilla aroma :3

lipcolour that dazzles with light and shine to bring an exciting dimensional pop to your lips. large particle pearls reflect and refract light to mimic the brilliance of quartz and opal crystal. provides exceptional shine with a crystalline iridescence. non-sticky, non-tacky, lightweight and moisturizing.

i wonder if the non-sticky part is true. hmm haven't try yet :x

burt's bees medicated lip balm with clove oil.

this soothing medicated lip balm provides quick relief to severely dry lips. camphor and menthol provide a cooling sensation to temporarily relieve chapped lips while rich emollient natural oils moisturise dry lips, leaving them feeling smooth and healthy.

clove oil — eugenia caryophyllus. extracted from the buds of an aromatic tropical evergreen and has warming, antiseptic, and disinfectant properties.

it moisturises my dry chapped lips instantly. fyi my lips can be dry to the extent of bleeding. it has a slight medicated aroma which i like and i love the cool menthol feel on my lips. most importantly, i don't find myself licking my lips after applying this lip balm (for obvious reasons hahas) which is a good thing :D
