Review: Garnier Sakura White Day Cream SPF 21/PA+++

Good day everyone!

Today I'm gonna make a review about Garnier Sakura White Day Cream SPF21/PA+++. I already have this product since mei or june, I forgot when exactly I bought this product. I purchased it immediately when I saw this product at department store without think twice in order to make my face looks brighter and healthier and it only costs idr 19.000! Super cheap right? So, does Garnier Sakura White work well for my skin? Let's check my review. 

Garnier Sakura White promise that you can get pinkish radiant skin just like sakura flower in only 4 weeks.

 It comes in a jar packaging with soft pink color. I love the packaging, it's so cute ^^. Sadly This Product doesn't come with spatula so make sure you wash your hand well before using this garnier sakura white.

It also has SPF21/PA+++ to protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB. SPF only protects our skin from UVB and PA stands for protection grade of UVA (UVA light is caused by aging factors) system and is the Japanese measurement of sun protection, which is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  PA is a protective level of strength to mark the three PA+, PA++ and PA+++.(Resource: Skincareclub.wordpress.com)

 The cream itself has soft pink color and sakura scent (maybe, since I don't know how sakura smells like). This one which comes in a jar and has SPF has thick consistency and has texture similiar with mousse. I heard that the one that comes in a tube is lighter and for oily skin, this one which comes in a jar and has SPF is supposed for normal to dry skin (this explains why my face became oily in only 2 hours).

(oh my face T_T)

It blends easily and absorb fast on skin. Garnier sakura white gives instant brightness when applied. It doesn't give sticky feeling like usual day cream when applied. After applied it my face began to oily around 2 or 3 hour (I have super oily face since I graduated from high school I don't know why). My face became smoother and brighter after I applied this cream but the effects will vanish after washed off. And I don't see any improvement in my skin tone and dark spots (or acne scar spot) I had used it for around 1 month. While using this cream somehow I got pimples around my forehead and cheek. I was thinking that maybe not this cream that cause my acne but when I stopped using this product the pimples were reduced. I have read many good reviews about this product but maybe this product is just not for me. If only this cream didn't break me out I would still happily using it until now.

What I like:

-nice scent

-make my skin looks brighter

-make my skin smoother

-can cover a bit of my redness

-cheap!

What I dont't like:

-it got me pimples

-the brighter effect only temporary

-doesn't come with a spatula

Will I repurchase this product? I think no :) 

Well, have any of you tried this Garnier sakura white? I would love to know your experience with this product!

Love,

Ovale facial mask Cucumber (review)

Hello everyone how are you today? I'm feeling sick since yesterday I think because lack of sleep T_T
Nah lately I'm crazy about mask, I want to try every mask (the affordable one of course).. So when I was going to Pluit Village and saw Ovale facial mask at the fresh market with a really cheap price I bought it..
Mine was cucumber.. I picked cucumber because written on the packaging feel smooth fresher & keep firmness, for matte looking face (I love matte looking face!!)

Written on the packaging: Combination of cucumber extract, witch hazel with vitamin C and E in Ovale Facial Mask Cucumber helps to cleanse, keep skin lightness freshen & helps to reduce excessive oil on face. Enriched with algae extract to keep the skin moist. It is very easy to use and helpful in removing dead skin cells. Leaves skin feel smooth, keep firmness, fresh & matte looking.

How to use: Apply to clean dry face and neck, avoiding eyes and lips area. Leave dry for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water thoroughly.

Ingredients: aqua, zea mays (corn) starch, sorbitol 70, talc, bentonite, titanium dioxide, algae extract, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, hammamelis virgiana (witch hazel) extract, polysorbate 20, xanthan gum, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, sodium methylparaben, perfume, citric acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, tocopheryl acelate, propylparaben, CI 19140, CI 42051

On my hand

 

The texture is thick and creamy and it's MELON scent.. I wonder why it has melon scent and not cucumber -__- I hope it's cucumber scent, and the scent is strong (for me, I prefer mild one)

The mask on my face

 I can't apply it evenly ._. but it's ok lah huahahaha, my face looks like a zombie *rawwrrr* when this mask dried out it feels so tight on my face, I can't even smile (afraid that the mask will crack too :p)

After I used the mask

This is my bare face xD look at my dark circle, I looks like a panda!!

I'm sorry no before after pic I forgot to take one before I used the mask. But you can see my face looks matte and I love it! xD

After used this my face didn't oily at all and feel suppler and softer, and when I woke up the next morning my face didn't too oily as usual (my face always super oily when I woke up >:( )

What I like:
*Affordable I bought it for Rp4.800,00 (around $O.5)
*makes my face looks matte
*makes my face not oily
*my face become suppler xD
*makes my face feels soft

What I hate:
*the strong scent :(
*contains paraben
*contains stain (come on that's not a useful subtance in a mask, I don't buy mask because it has green, orange, red, blue colors)
*hard to cleaned -_-

Repurchase? No I want try other mask than better than this hahahaha xD

I recommend this mask for you who have oily skin not for dry skin
I make this review on my own oppinion, the result maybe different with other person

Thanks for reading my post, hope my post worth to read :)

Review Garnier Multi-Action Lightening Cream

hallo semuanya ^^
kali ini aku bakal review tentang Garnier Multi-Action Ligthening cream, cream pencerah untuk pemakaian siang hari dengan bermacam kegunaan.
penampakannya:

Maaf tempatnya sedikit jelek, udah mau abis itu tiap hari aku pake, hahaha.
Tekstur garnier ini agak sedikit thick ya dengan wangi lemon yang aku suka banget!

Dicoba blend ditangan

Hasil akhir

Pros:
-Wanginya. aku suka banget sama wangi lemonnya, wanginya lembut dan tidak menyengat
-texture: agak thick, tapi tidak terlalu thick juga sih, masih gampang diratain dimuka, cukup olesih sedikit aja bisa untuk seluruh pipi, hehe.
-coverage: ini lumayan untuk menutupi bekas jerawat yang samar" dan sedikit flek hitam loh
-dan setelah beberapa bulan pake cream ini, bekas jerawatku hilang, hanya sisa dikit ^^
-hasil akhir penggunaannya matte dan membuat wajah sedikit lebih putih, biasa aku cukup pake ini ga usah pake bb cream atau foundation lagi kecuali pergi ke acara" tertentu
-Oil control: ini yang aku suka! Muka aku itu berminyak banget, biasa 2 jam aja udah mulai mengkilap, tapi kalo pake ini bisa tahan sampe 4 jam, itu juga cuma berminyak dikit tinggal diblot pake kertas minyak atau tissue.

cons:
-kadang suka sedikit menggumpal
-tidak terlalu melembabkan

Overall: 4.5 dari 5 bintang
Repurchase? Of course! I fell in love with this cream <3
