Well.. I promised i'll make more review from now on hehe. By the way, for my indonesian reader, i'll try to make all my posts bilingual since there are so many suggestions about the bilingual post.
So, i've told you i purchased 2 mamonde item, and the one that i'm going to review now is the total solution bb essence balm.
(kemarin kemarin aku ud pernah bilang mau ngereview another product dari mamonde, yaitu mamonde total solution bb essence balm)
I've been dying to try balm type bb cream since the etude nymph aura but i never get a chance to try it. I guess some products are not destined to be mine haha. Few weeks ago, i was in love with mamonde total solution moisture bb cream and i was going to purchase the big size one, but my seller somehow did not sell it and she suggested me to purchase the bb balm instead. Seriously, i'm interested in mamonde brand so i'll buy anything if it has mamonde name on it haha.
(dari dulu aku memang udah pengen cobain bb balm pas masih jamannya etude house nymph aura balm tapi ga tahu kenapa ga pernah kesampaian. Beberapa minggu belakangan aku lagi tertarik banget sama mamonde dan salah satu produk favoritku adalah mamonde bb cream total solution moisture tapi entah kenapa seller ku ga jual dan dia tawarin bb balm ini.)
It is pretty expensive, i bought it for Rp 330.000 or $30. I hate cushion bb since they run out so fast, like the regular etude house one can only lasts for 3 weeks with continously use, and it is such a bothersome if i have to repurchase it very soon, since i hate repurchasing things haha. But since this bb balm is not a cushion, i guess it can last pretty long.
(harganya lumayan mahal, aku beli 330 ribu rupiah di @kbeautycrush. Lebih mahal dari cushion etude dan jujur aja aku ga suka pakai cushion karena cepat banget habis haha, tapi karena ini balm, mungkin aja bisa tahan lebih lama hehe)
The packaging is sleek and mature, with gold pink on top and the rest of the plastic body is in pale pink. The outer body is quite sturdy but inside, you can hear the balm container keep moving here and there everytime you pick up the product.
(packagingnya rapi dan kelihatan dewasa, tutup atasnya berwarna rose gold dan body nya plastik berwarna pink pucat. Outer body nya sih kuat tapi kotak bb balm didalamnya suka bunyi bergerak2 gitu kalau pas lagi dipakai, jadi rada takut kalau tiba tiba lepas hehe)
It comes with a regular puff like a powder. I found the original puff is really bad for taking the product. It absorbs the product and making uneven application on face. Luckily i still have my etude cushion puff so i just using it instead of the original one. I rather dissapointed since i purchase this product in a high price and i only get a cheap puff?
(sayangnya puff bawaan dari mamonde ini kualitasnya buruk sekali. Puff nya cuman puff bedak padat biasa padahal kan harganya mahal, kog puff nya murahan? Hehe jadinya aku pakai puff dari cushion etude yang lama dan lebih berfungsi karena ga begitu nyerap produk)
So, there are no english description on the box, everything is written in hangul, and its not easy to find the product information in google.
(ga ada deskripsi dalam bahasa inggris dan ga mudah untuk cari review nya online hehe)
As usual bb balm always comes in a swirling formula. The beige color is the bb cream, while the white and the pink swirl is for highlighter and the essence i guess haha. I bought #1 color since no 2 tends to look exactly like my skin color and i need something to brighten the overall look.
(seperti biasa, bb balm selalu mempunyai bentuk formula yang swirling. Mamonde ini punya 3 warna di swirlingnya, beige untuk bb cream, pink untuk essence dan putih untuk highlight. Aku beli warna no 1 karna biasanya kalau warna no 2 cenderung yellow tone dan gelap di kulit hehe)
Actually i don't know how to pick up the product without destroying the design haha, so i picked up only on left side first.
(sebenarnya aku ga tahu gimana cara untuk mengoles produk k puff tanpa ngerusak visual swirlingnya yang lucu banget hehe jadi aku cuman ambil di bagian kiri aja)
The result is very drying and looks patchy at first, i was dissapointed but then i figured out i need to use proper skincare step before using this bb balm. I used toner and thick cream and i can see the better result.
(hasilnya cenderung kering dan menonjolkan titik2 yang kering banget. Pertamanya kecewa banget sama hasilnya, tapi setelah aku pakai perawatan wajah lengkap sebelumnya hasilnya malah jadi bagus dan lembab)
It leaves semi matte finish while actually i always want dewy glossy finish. For the coverage, i have to say it is very good. It covers 8 out of ten. And it is such a good score for a simple bb balm without foundation or primer.
(finishnya semi matte, jadi bagi yanh suka glossy finish, ini bukan pilihan yang tepat. Tapi coverage dari bb balm ini bagus banget 8 dari 10 deh scorenya. Dan udah bagus banget tanpa foundation atau primer)
It contais nobilis flower extract so it is good for sensitive skin and i do not experience any break out using it. It is also non comedogenic
(mengandung extract bunga jadi bagus untuk kulit sensitive. Tidak menimbulkan jerawat sejauh ini dan ga nyumbat pori)
I recommend this bb balm for oily skin type rather than dry skin type. But if those dry skin type out there want to try this product, you can do proper skin care before applying this product.
(aku lebih recommend bb balm ini untuk yang kulitnya berminyak, tapi kalau orang dengan kulit kering mau coba bisa aja asalkan pakai skincare lengkap dulu sebelumnya)
Will i repurchase it? I don't think so since i dislike semi matte finish and the rather drying formula, but i do like the highlight effect though. For the longevity, it can last for 5 hours without re application.
(bakal beli lagi ga? Emm ga deh kayaknya hehe karna hasilnya yang semi matte tapi aku suka highlighting effectnya, untuk ketahanannya, bisa bertahan di wajah untuk kira2 5 jam tanpa touch up)
Jadi bagi girls yang mau purchase kosmetik korean silahkan pesan po di @kbeautycrush yaa, barangnya relatif murah dan free ongkir untuk daerah pontianak
Thank you very much for your time and see ya later
