Banila Co - CC it Radiant Brightening Cream & CC Cream

Radiant Brightening Cream & CC Cream (Banila Co)

This is my first product review and I choose to review the most popular CC Cream in Korea right now!

Yupe, it's Banila Co CC Cream. I also include Banila Co CC It Radiant Brightening Cream as its companionship.

Now.. let's start with the Banila Co Radiant Brightening Cream.

It comes in a transparent gel (see second picture above). It's very light in texture, so it won't give heavy feeling on your face. You only need a small amount to use on your face.

This cream (or it's a gel in my opinion) as it says on the tub - it's moisturising, whitening, and brightening.

Now coming from an Asian background where 80% or more women want to have fair skin, this line is like a bait. 

Look at me, I bought it!

Does it really work?... Yes!

It does moisturise & brighten up the skin, but of course the whitening is a temporary effect. When you apply the cream, you won't notice the effect yet. Once you apply the CC Cream, give it few second, you will see the colour change on your skin (see picture below). I applied the radiant brightening cream & CC cream on the bottom half of my hand. More to the really bottom of my hand actually.. sorry I'm still no expert in taking nice picture. I promise I'll get better by few more product reviews. ^__^

The skin colour change to a shimmery pearly effect which gives you glowing complexion.

Where to buy: I've seen this cream at MD Ranking Store (Sydney City) for approx. AUD$33 or you can always buy online (I will post another blog on where to buy Korean products online).

Let's move on to Banila Co CC Cream.

This CC Cream is very very light compared to my other CC's. It only comes in one shade - a light pinkish peachy colour. I tried to take a picture of the CC Cream last nite, but failed. Apologize I can't provide you with solid evidence of the colour, but please trust my words. ^__*
 

This cream is easy to apply & it comes with SPF 30++

Me, personally, I don't mind using this cream, but it's not the best CC Cream I have tried. Sorry girls if I disappoint you, please don't "boohoo" me. 

If I have to rate this CC Cream, I'd give it 8 out of 10. Not bad, but not the best (for me).

Where to buy: MD Ranking for approx. AUD$28-$30.

The good news is the Radiant Brightening Cream can be used with other CC Cream (other brands), it's not necessarily used solely for Banila Co CC Cream. This product is CC Cream enhancer.

When I use Banila Co Radiant Brightening Cream with my other brand CC Cream, they gel well. I get compliment (at work) all the time.

I've tried using it with BB Cream, it doesn't maximize the brightening effect, but it's still OK. ^__*

Before I end my review, there's one thing I would like to reiterate here, let's be realistic girls, if we're born with Olive skin (aka tanned skin), we need to choose the face products that do not give "too much whitening". Because your face skin would have different colour to your neck skin. I've seen some girls applying "too white" products and in my personal opinion, it doesn't look nice. ^__*

Aim for glowing & brightening look and these products only help cosmetically. The most important thing is of course our lifestyle -- good eating habit, good sleeping habit, and great relationship with our Creator. Peace of mind gives better glowing complexion on your face and it lasts FOREVER.

Disclamer: I'm not trying to sell any brands nor I get commissions from any parties. I only review products that I have used & purchased on my own expenses. So this is all based on my personal experience and opinion.

If you want me to review product(s), please leave a comment and I will consider it. ^__*
