[Review] Tony Moly Luminous Aura BB & CC Special Set Pt.2 CC Cream

Hello lovelies~

How are you doing? I'm still fighting with getting all my stuff in boxes and applying for a university for graduate studies....
But now I decided to take a break from boxes and application forms in order to write this entry =D

I posted about the BB Cream already here and now the CC Cream follows

What they say:

• CC cream makes perfectly natural skin tone as providing natural color change and skin care effect with moist radiance.
• Black/red/yellow color capsule pops and perfectly mixes up upon applying on skin to naturally conceals redness and imperfections.
• 7 Free - parabene, benzo phenon, talc, mineral oil, organic pigment, sulfate surfactant, Triethanolamine
• SPF30 PA++

As promised no signs of Mineral Oil or Parabenes. Just like the BB Cream, it contains silicones and a lot of plant extracts. Nothing special here.

Texture: Creamy. It's lighter of texture than the BB Cream and you can spread it easily.

Swatch on my arm

Blended

  Smell: This also has a strong floral scent (I'm starting to think, this is Tony Moly's distinctive scent?) but it's a bit lighter than the BB Cream. Still, if you're sensitive towards strong scents this might be not the product for you.

Packaging: A sturdy plasic bottle. Perfect for traveling (no fear of leaking or breaking) but squeezing out could get difficult once the bottle is getting empty. This package looks different from the full size version. The full size version has a pump and is a round long bottle.

Effects: The CC Cream has obviously less coverage than the BB Cream (pretty normal, I guess). But it still covered my trouble areas and looks quite natural in my opinion. Also, the lasting power is not too bad, it wore off on my usual spots, the nose and around the mouth but looks still okay after 5 hours. I think this is a really nice product for days when you don't need a lot of coverage but still want to have something to even out your skintone and cover minor troubled areas. 

Repurchase: I'm not sure. It's my first CC Cream and I wanna try some more before I decide which is my favourite one (if you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them =D)
You can buy the small version of the CC Cream on roserosehop as well as the set, and the full size version on amazon and koreadepart.

Pros: good coverage, lasts 5-6 hours, reasonable price, natural look

Cons: strong smell

Overall: 4/5
