Today, we are going to review a very special product by new
Korean cosmetic brand ‘Bellonera’. I guess you are wondering what ‘Bellonera’ means. It is a combination of the words ‘BELLON’
which means ‘sparkling’ in dialect of Jeju providence
and ‘ERA’ which means ‘specific period’. Altogether it means ‘the most
beautiful and sparkling era’ that women can live. The goal of the brand is to
help all women expose their own beauty they have, and not to cover it up with
makeup.
Bellonera is a new brand since it has been less than a year
after the launching. Two of its products, Air BB Cream and The First EE, have
entered cosmetic competition and The Fist EE is what we are going to have a
look today. It is amazing that we have a product called EE Cream now, going
through BB, CC and DD Cream. EE Cream is an abbreviation for ‘Easy &
Equalizing Skintone Cream’ that helps equalize skin tone and skin
texture, supplying moisture to skin at the same time.
The package has simple black and white color
design with a luxurious cute gold-colored heart. There is Korean instruction
for EE Cream on the back of the package and for tint on the side. There are two
types of the product, sorted by the color of tints while the type of EE cream
is all same. You can distinguish the colors of tints by the sticker on the
lower surface of the package.
When you
twist-open the top lid of the product, you can find a lip tint which is very
creamy and when you twist the whole lid of the product you will find EE Cream.
It used to be a very pretty round shape but now it is dented since I have used
it for more than a month.
I have applied the EE Cream on the back of
my hand, you can see that it equalizes the tone just like sunscreens do.
Actually it has UV blocking effect(SPF50+/PA+++) so I use it as sunscreen. But
as you can see it does not have covering effect!
I have applied both of them on the back of
my hand to show you the color difference between tint and EE Cream. Both of
them have very moderate color which is suitable to create natural looks.
Now I have applied the tint on my lips and
it applies very smoothly, not highlighting dead skin cells on my lips nor
getting between wrinkles. The scent of EE Cream is just like any other
sunscreen scent, but the scent of lip tint is very sweet like bubble gums,
makes me feel good! The sweet scent does not last long, so don’t worry even if
you don’t like sweet odor.
Pros
• It is a unique 2 in 1 product.
• You can do natural and lively makeup.
• The product hardly gets between the wrinkles.
• Not irritating.
• Very creamy.
• Moisturizing.
• You can use it for long since the tint has a quite
large volume.
• The scent of tint is nice.
• It stays long.
• The price is reasonable.
Cons
• You can’t cover up at all.
• The volume of cream is not enough.
• It is difficult to apply tint at first since it is
round and thick stick type. –But it gets better when you get used to it.
I personally think it is very nice to use
when it is difficult to put heavy makeup such as when you have to go out for a
moment, when you go camping or when you fly in a plane, etc.
