SKINFOOD Rose Check Chock Blush


Here we go with another blush! As much as I want to try SKINFOOD masks, I always seem to try their other stuff first like their hand cream and now blush. This is their very mispelled blush called the Rose Check Chock blush. It seems to me like their either trying to spell it correctly(having such a hard time) or it's a sound of some sort. Maybe of what roses make when we're not looking. It is a very cute cream blush that comes in a very small container that can almost be mistakened as you're contact lenses case. It comes with a mini poof sponge applicator for some cute application. I don't like to use cream/liquid stuff on my cheeks but it is definitely an interesting way to control the circular puff movements to bring out the colour.


This is 02 which is described as a Peach Orange. The colour in the pot looks orange/peachish but it's more of light orange with some kind of chrome like shimmer to it. It gives a nice healthy glow to my skin if put on correctly. This one is not as pigmented as the other one I got but it does have the shimmer. Very appropriate for summer time tanning. There is a faint rose scent to the blush as it has rosehip seed oil. It doesn't seem bother me too much.



The other one I got was 03 which is a Rose Orange. I only got this colour because the orange looked real nice in the pictures. It seemed pretty vibrant and somehow I thought this blush would be sheer but it's not. A little goes a very long way. It's lasting ability is alright. I think as long as you don't touch your face or sweat too much, it'll be alright. This particular colour is one of those ones that are too orangey for my skintone. It's just not flattering. It makes me feel like those 80s makeup, like back in the day when blush was just as bold as eyeshadow. Totally not me at all. Overall, I'm pretty so-so on these blushes. Don't think I would recommend to anyone at all.

Pros: Rosehip seed oil, cream blush, puff applicator, cute and convenient size, pigmented, shimmer
Cons: Limited colour options(only 3), alright price for size

SKINFOOD Vita Juice Hand Essence


I've always had a facination in the products that come from Korea's SKINFOOD brand. Their masks seem very tempting to try out but I have held back because of the high prices I've seen online. I'm still scouting out to find cheaper prices that I can actually accept for a brand I've never tried. So in the end, I decided to give in a try one of their hand creams which is called the SKINFOOD Vita Juice Hand Essence. It seems like quite a normal product to try and I happened to be looking for some hand cream for my dry winter worn-out hands. It was an average price so it didn't seem like it mattered.


The hand cream is vitamin E based but I find it very similar to another hand cream I've tried. It is very similar to the Say Yes to Carrots lined cream(organic brand). The cream also smells like an orange creamsicle. As for moisturizing, it comes out in a nice semi thick lotion that once smoothed out, it will quickly sink into the skin while leaving a smooth finish. It is not sticky nor greasy either. In conclusion, I think if you're looking for a hand cream and/or you love SKINFOOD then it is worth a try!

Pros: Fairly cheap, nice scent, moisturizing
Cons: ugly packaging?
