Tony Moly Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream Review

I have been interested in this BB cream from Tony Moly as I was using a different brand before and I saw one in Althea when we were trying to get another box.

Here's a con: no seal so it's a bit messy when I opened it

So, I ordered their Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream and was excited to see how it goes. Only a week and the box arrived. Althea is pretty fast and efficient as always.

I haven't had enough time to look for BB creams elsewhere because of hectic work schedule lately and apart from using a different brand, I ran out of BB cream before I realized it. Still, I was not disappointed with this new one. 

The packaging is different from the past years as it comes in a black and white tube now. I remember they had this in a white and pink packaging.

I think I like it now as it looks simple yet chic.

~ ordered through Althea priced at 450 php
~ SPF 37 PA ++
~ 45g tube
~ Bright Beige shade (the lightest)

• customizes for your skin and provides moisture and radiance
• covers blemishes and has a dewy finish
• makes the skin look healthy
• delivers the function of a BB cream

Inside the house before going out. This was taken in a different lighting. See how the BB cream works brightly and different on my bare face. My pores, lines and blemishes are really obvious but turns smoother when I use the BB cream. ^^

bare face ^^ goodness! you can see my lines, blemishes and pores here

Since I am a fan of dewy skin, I love how this BB cream works. If you have oily skin, it may not be the best BB cream for you. 

So far, I only apply once in the morning and only dab a bit of powder for the entire day. Then I use a mist in the middle of the day to appear dewy again and fresh. I stay all day in the office so I prefer a dewy finish throughout the day.

On a different lighting ~ outside the house (terrace to be exact). ^^

Tony Moly Haul: Foam Cleanser and Tonynail Enamel Remover ~(>.<)~

I know this is my first ever blog for this year 2015. It’s been a bit busy at work and at home and I’m glad I’m back to my blogging.

My favorite skin care boutique had their Christmas 2014 promo and the best thing to do is to get my favorites.

Here’s my Tony Moly haul.

ingredients in hangeul and english (i didnt see any parabens w/c is good)

Foam Cleanser. Not my first, definitely, this is our 2^nd time using the same product. The scent is sweet and fruity clean, I always go for their Clean Dew Acerola Foam Cleanser. I am supposed to get the Blueberry this time, but it was sold out.

like almost all korean products ~ it is sealed (expire 12 months once opened)

It has a clean soft feeling and just perfect for a foam cleanser before exfoliating or moisturizing.

The regular price was around 198 php but this was discounted.

Tonynail Enamel Remover. I was curious to use this one as I have been using a different brand. This enamel remover has a light scent, not too strong. It removes the polish easily I’d say and cleans thoroughly, plus its ingredients strengthen nails but not with a squeaky, dry finish.

to avoid spilling, the cover has a stopper (cool!)

hangeul and english instructions at the back

I got this for 80 php on a discounted price.

My Tony Moly Eye Products~

It’s time to review my latest haul from Tony Moly. It’s been so long I haven’t blogged about my TM products, but it’s not too late. I’ve been using these already for months now so here’s a good review.

Let’s start with my eye brow pencil which, for me, works more than an eye brow pencil. I am using this as an eye liner too ~ so saves me time, it’s nice to use as an eye liner too if I can’t use my eye gel liner. The texture is close to same. I always prefer black or brown, but I chose black – always start w/ the basics. ^^)~

see... this eye pencil is retractable and has a brush on the other end..

It is retractable and easy to use, the pencil on one end and brush on the other. I’ve familiarize myself using this and it’s very practical too. Look at the tip, you can control how thin or thick you apply.

Then to match will be Tony Moly’s eye shadow in no 15 shade. It’s pretty to use because the colors go for a natural look even in summer. I love to use the middle shade so much as an everyday wear.

It’s very convenient to bring, so tiny you can put it in your pretty purse for a quick retouch afterwards.

Now, this gel liner is the jjang! I’ve used liquid liners before and never tried a gel one. But since I got this, it only takes another level, once you master it, it’s more controllable than the liquid one. I love the other colors too ~ but for me black is better!

the gel brush/pencil is separated from the ink

it's jet black ink.. i love its packaging..

It has a cute packaging and very sleek and tidy, the brush is separated and the pot is beneath the brush handler. Cool!~

Check out this fabulous TM products and give them a try! Visit the nearest Tony Moly branch near you! 

Thank you Tony Moly Eastwood and Tony Moly Philippines. 

Super Junior M 24/7 ♥ ~ TonyMolyPH bromide calendar

It’s 2014 and I need a new calendar. Of course, none other than a bromide calendar from Tony Moly. For a thousand pesos worth of Tony Moly products, this is a memorable souvenir for all ELFs. I don’t need to think twice for this promo, since I am a Tony Moly member too, I made sure I have mine. I got two of the calendars ~ the other one from the fan signing event of Super Junior M here in Manila.

And believe me, this is one calendar I am keeping (and am not using it). I treasure my Super Junior collections the most I need to see it not stained everyday and always in perfect shape, so I’ve kept these calendars in my collection basket. Kekeke!!!~

Not only one but twelve months I get to see them. Check the photos below:

thanks to: TonyMolyPH Eastwood staff for being friendly and nice whenever I visit their store and talk about SJM boys. ♥

Tony Moly PH ~ Dream Come True: Meet and Greet Super Junior M

One more week and I will finally meet my idols face to face. Super Junior M is coming to town! Oh yesssu! Super Junior M is the Chinese unit of Super Junior - meaning 6 of the Super Junior members plus Henry (mochiiii!!!) and Zhou Mi (mimiii!) who are chinese members. Hangeng (oh, how I miss him) was the previous member of SJM and now has gone solo but still a Super Junior member forever in our hearts. ~right ELFs!

Super Junior M for Tony Moly

Super Junior M members, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Siwon, Sungmin, Henry and Zhoumi will be performing in DKFC2 or Dream Kpop Fantasy Concert 2 this coming Feb 2, 2014 at the Araneta Coliseum. They are one of the 6 kpop groups who'll complete the evening for their kpop fans here in the Philippines.

In line with this event, Super Junior M is also Tony Moly's trendy, cool, ever handsome endorsers who will meet their fans on the same day. Minus Siwon (he is currently endorsing Mamonde beauty products), the members will greet and sign posters for Tony Moly members alone. Very lucky few members who were able to get the limited passes during the promotion date of Tony Moly Philippines.

The promo date started Jan 15 and will last until Jan 27. The members who purchased Tony Moly products worth 3,000 pesos will get a limited stub as passes to the said event. Get a sign from one of the members, see them very VERY close and greet them! OMO! I can't imagine!~ 

I was one of the lucky few who went my way through the fangirl hardship and sacrifice to get a stub! A chance to be drawn out of 10 members and win an SVIP ticket to the concert! Such great opportunites! So I decided to get one.

I went to Tony Moly Eastwood and waited at 4 am before the mall opens at 11 am and amidst the chaos and misunderstanding, but very helpful and patient mall and store staffs, the right line was honored. I was 6th in line. And finally, it's a dream come true!

The stubs were very limited so the promo did not lasted for a day, but only for minutes! The stubs in all Tony Moly stores nationwide are sold out. ELFs definitely have great power! LOLzzz...

my Tony Moly haul + that fan sign pass ~^^)

So, I tried some of my haul and blogging it. As a thanks to Tony Moly PH!~ yayyy!

First off, the Tony Moly Intense Care Snail BB Cream. I am a big fan of bb creams and I tried a lot of them. Among my favorites are from korean stores The Face Shop and Etude House. When I went to Korea, I was only able to buy nail polishes from Tony Moly. Given the chance, I bought their expensive and snail bb cream for a change.

my snail products bb cream and lip balm

I love the scent so much. And the color matches my tone really well. It only has one tone so I might say it's light beige. It also has a light to medium coverage, just what I love on bb creams.

the description at the back

one shade only - light beige

swatch with tony moly snail bb cream

It works well on me as a bb cream and as a concealer too. It covers my dark spots and even the reddish spots on my face. Since it has a snail mucus content, i am mostly curious if my zits will disappear right away but for now, I love the effect. It also gives you a smooth finish and it is easy to evenly blend on your skin, even my blackheads were covered.
It's a bit expensive but I might buy it again since it exceeded my expectations. 

it has a pump so it is clean to use

Now I got a Prestige Snail Lip treatment Stick. This comes in two packaging, one in stick form and the other in a pot. I got this one because I think it is more convenient for me to bring anywhere. I apply this at night before sleeping and one in the morning before make up  and going to the office. I also use it in between my shift to retouch.

my snail lip treatment stick

This balm is truly remarkable because I am one of those few who has really dry lips. I tried a lot of lip balms, even ordered expensive brands, but none worked. This one was worth it because it has snail treatment on it,it does not have any tint but it keeps my lips moisturized. I am very confident to recommend this because it really is effective.

here's what it looks like when snail lip balm is applied

Last in the line is my Tony Moly Cristal Blusher. I got mine in 02 shade or Pleasure Pink shade. I love its packaging and the shade as well. It does not give me too pinkish color which I like and it almost works as a highlighter. It gives you the natural glow that seems you don't wear a blush on at all. I love this blusher because it also goes well w/ my brush. ha ha ha!!!~ I just need to get more than two strokes though when applying because of the lightness, or maybe because it's new? Ha ha ha!

There is really a difference when this blusher shade is applied.

My next goal is to try other blusher shades they have like the bronze one or apricot. kkk~

So, here are my reviews to my Tony Moly products. I'll blog about my other products next time. These three easy steps and routine will give me the magic glow once I meet  Super Junior M on their fan meet and greet event. And if you are coming, see you there!


Special thanks to: TonyMolyPH, my sisters, my family, and friends I met during the Tony Moly promo day in Eastwood City. jjang!
