Finally, I can test this awesome product! Yay! I actually tried it for two weeks but I am waiting for the right "moment to take a picture of myself with it and it is perfect! I want to post a picture wearing this in a nice picture so you can see better what the rave is all about. Alright, let's start!

Blur creams are now the trend on beauty as a base. It gives you smoother, even and flawless looking skin as if you don't even have large pores around your nose and cheeks. Cool right? Blur creams can be use on its own or with a foundation or a setting powder. Sometimes I use it with a loose powder but if I am trying to achieve a dewy kind of look, I use it alone.

Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur is one of my favorite blur creams that I have. It is light, creamy and doesn't feel heavy on skin compared to other blur creams that I already tried. In my opinion, it doesn't feel like a primer at all!

This claims to make the skin smooth, hide pores and tone up the skin making it appear that you have a brighter complexion. It also has SPF 15, such a good bonus for sun protection!

I appreciate beauty products that comes in a pump packaging it is more hygienic compared to jar tubs so I am happy that this comes with a pump. As you can see in the picture, the screw of the pump loosen after I accidentally drop it. But I don't mind it in fact, it become a good help since I only need now to pump it once to get the right amount on my face and it doesn't squirt unlike the first time I tried it on the EH store.

I just also want to add that this is the simplest packaging I saw from Etude House. They are known for their quirky, cute and unique packaging and this is simple and sleek. Still, it looks attractive don't you think? :)

hand swatch

Here is a thick swatch of Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur on my hand. It appears to be a beige-pink color and appears almost like my skin color after blending. However, I had a hard time blending this perfectly with my friends who have a darker skin tone that me but after it was set, it gives a brighter and flawless look. So, I am very lucky that it doesn't look too white on me. :)

Now this is how it looks from the photo shoot that we took few weeks ago. My skin looks really flawless here! Pores are not visible and some blemishes too. I only wear Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur on my face here. It gives me that healthy and glowing look without over doing it. You know how some korean makeup makes your skin so shiny? Face blur just gives me a perfect dewy skin. It doesn't leave white cast as well as seen in these two pictures. Please do note that these are not edited or photoshop as you can see I have a small bump below my lip on the right side. I requested these pictures to be my 2x2 pic for school the effect is just from the camera that is why my background looks a little bit dramatic :) I will still post some pictures on Instagram using Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur at some other time.

It is official, this is my favorite beauty product for my face! It doesn't just hide my pores, smooths my skin and even out my entire complexion, it also controls the oil on my face for 5 or more hours. It feels light on skin, doesn't feel sticky and gives me that healthy dewy look that I am trying to achieve. The only downside is that it is not that good in making my make up last longer but I don't need to apply more make up if I have this on so that is not a big deal for me. :P It retails for 898 pesos only.

Is it just me or our weather really makes my face oilier? My face is very oily, I think I can donate some. It is very shiny and greasy, eww. My previous face powder can't even stand the oiliness of my face and so, my search for a new face powder is on!

Last week, I went to Etude House store and saw this. No sebum? Really? Sometimes I love how things fall perfectly at the right time, just like this :) Without any hesitation, I give this a try.

Look how cute it looks! It is pretty small compare to other face powder that we have but that is what I like about it since it fits on my purse which means I can bring this to me all the time.

The powder is sealed when you purchased it. I like products that are sealed, it ensures that the user of it is really the first to try it out.

The first thing that I notice about this is that it smells like lime! It smells very fresh, I love it! I can see myself grinning from ear to ear when I use this just because of its smell. The powder is very fine and white. This is finer than a normal baby powder, it actually reminds me of Ellana mineral loose foundation.

It comes with this cute and soft micro fiber puff. Now this is not your ordinary puff that comes with other face powders, It is very soft, not a sponge so it applies smoothly on the surface of the skin.

At first, I didn't remove entirely the sticker and leave just half of it because I think it will be super messy, you know the issue about loose powders right? It gets messier and messier as time goes by. Happy to say, I didn't experience that with this. Yay!

I tried this last tuesday where I have to do some errands and go from one place to another in the busy road of Metro. I used this at 8 am in the morning. It is very translucent, like an ordinary powder and it don't have any coverage. It made my skin not so oily without looking very matte. It still looks natural with less shine on my face. I love how it leaves my skin very smooth. Some prefer using it on top of their bb creams or foundation like a finishing powder but I prefer using this alone specially during casual days.

Sorry for the low quality of this picture. This was taken inside our house with an artificial light so I can still compare it even without the natural light. The left picture was taken around 9:00 in the morning and the other one is exactly 7;00 pm. I have this on for 10 hours and I still look fresh! Upon application, my face immediately look matte. I went to school then go to the mall and went to my mother's office at Pedro Gil. The whole day, my face didn't feel very oily although the matte look fades in the afternoon, my face still looks fresh and my group mates noticed that. I didn't do any retouch so I can really see how good it works. When I arrived at Pedro Gil, I checked my face in the restroom and woah! I still look fresh and shine-free. Talk about great oil control capability! I touched my face and it is not even oily or greasy, in fact my face is smooth.

I am really impress on how it controls oil for almost half the day. It is seldom for a powder that promises "long-lasting" freshness to actually do its job but Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder takes it seriously. So far this is the only powder that gives me 10 hour shine-free face. It that doesn't impress you, I don't know what will. Plus it has a refreshing citrusy scent that lifts my mood when I am tired. It is affordable too for only 398 pesos.

If you are looking for a powder that helps absorbs oil leaving you looking fresh all day long, do check this out. This is really amaaazzziinnggg!

I have been satisfied with my hands as a tool to clean my face everyday. I am happy feeling the bubbles from the facial wash on my fingers as I scrub it on my face and that's it. Until last year, I saw on my tita a brush that is placed on her vanity desk. It is the Mary Kay Skinvigorating Cleansing Brush. It catches my attention but I didn't think that I would use it in my life then last month, Clinique also released their own cleansing brush. That is the moment I know I am missing something with this cleansing brush.

However, I have to admit those two are waaay expensive for me. I have read reviews of both and I am surprise that it really helps in improving the overall condition of the skin. I want to try to use a brush on my daily routine to so I give it a try.

I started with the cheapest cleansing brush I can find at the mall and here it is, Etude House Wonder Pore Brush. I know it is way different with the two since it is smaller and I have to use this mechanically since it is not battery operated but I want to know a cleansing brush would really do something on my face + I don't want to buy something expensive then I would just regret. If this works for me perhaps I would give the Mary Kay or Clinique brushes a try.

Back to Etude House Wonder Pore Brush, it is included on their line of Wonder Pore. It is designed to be use along with their whipping foam ata. The SA told me that I can also use it with my other facial cleanser.

The brush is stored in a plastic bottle. I use the bottle as a stand for the brush when it needs to be dry. What I love about this is that the brush is super soft it is not abrasive so it won't irritate your skin. You can apply little pressure when using this specially on your T-zone but you won't get redness at all that is how gentle this brush is.

I have use this for three weeks now, morning and evening and I find it very useful to clean my face thoroughly. It helps in removing your makeup better and faster sometime I don't have to use a makeup remover anymore I just wash my face with my usual cleanser with this and done, no more traces of make up.

I have enjoyed using this for the past few weeks and I must say, it is very important for me aside from leaving my face clean and make up free, it also lessens my cleansing time compare to using my hands. I wish I can buy other cleansing brush soon but as of now, I am loving Etude House Wonder Pore Brush. It is very gentle yet effective. I can't give a comparison of this to other cleansing brush right now because this is my very first but for P278 it is not a bad one. It effectively removes my make up leaving my face clean without any traces of dirt.

Tips:

Use it for a minute or as long as you wish but don't put too much pressure around your eyes.
I don't recommend using this with a cream cleanser- it is just awkward that way because it doesn't foam or lather and you won't feel that there are a lot of product on your face. It is best to use with foaming or liquid soap.
After using, wash it with water and let it dry.

That's it. You can purchase this on all Etude House store nationwide and online. Have you tried using any cleansing brush? How was it? :)
