Today I'm gonna review my two best foundation, that I use regularly.

Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream SPF 50++

Etude House first introduce this Sun BB Cream in the summer, immediately it captures so many woman hearts. Why? Because summer is the hardest season for any woman alive, oily skin, sweats, rash, unbearable humidity. That's the thing about summer, whatever makeup you wear, you'll always worry if your face will become so oily that you'll start to look like frying pan, or your sweats will smudge your makeup so badly you'll start to look like Joker. 

"Smeared Liner, Mascara, Lipstick, and Powder"  ew..

Now... That's just about the make up, what about the UV rays? Wrikles, dark spots, etc etc. That is why not only this Etude Sun BB Cream sticks to your face and not oily, it also comes with SPF 50++!!! I know, amazing right. This product works best in the summer and for us who live in hot and humid places, also for those who like me have a very bad oily complexion.

Let's peek at the inside.. most of the BB cream and foundation will not come with a sponge or brushes, you just have to use your own finger or brushes. But this one come with a whole package. Voila~ with a sponge, you just have to squeeze and the BB cream will appear in the middle of the sponge.

BB Cream will come out from the hole

With a sponge you'll be able to apply BB cream more evenly, just remember don't squeeze to much! You can check it out from the Etude Homepage, but it's in korean here~ 

I know many people didn't know MaxFactor, it's actually a brand from P&G. Here are the country list where you can find it :

You also could bought it from Drugstore.com, and it's also available in Indonesia at www.maxfactor.co.id

Left : Before, Right : After

As the product stated "Lasting Performance" it stayed up to 12 hours or more (tested by myself and it's actually true!), the foundation actually very light and cover pretty nicely.

Price : MaxFactor Long Lasting Foundation 

Longevity : Etude Sun BB Cream

Cover up : MaxFactor Long Lasting Foundation

Oil Control - Etude Sun BB Cream

I found difficulty in comparing this two products, since both have the ups and downs quality, and both products work best on my skin. But I have to say Maxfactor do make a very amazing foundation, and I've tested other foundation by Maxfactor, it also proven to satisfy my needs. Stays on my skin better than other foundation.

Though I'm not fond with Etude BB Cream or foundation because of its stickiness, but Etude don't failed this time by their Sun BB Cream. It's ultra light and dry, good for oily skin and stays on your skin. Plus it comes with SPF 50++

So my advice is choose wisely before buying a foundation or any makeup products, do try tons of sample before buying what exactly that you need. I've learned my lesson now, there's plenty of left over makeup product that I won't be using again. 

And now I know where are all of my moneys go.. Hiks..
