skin care – Critiques of a critic

Hiii all! I’m back with another makeup review today with Cute Press– one of my favourite makeup/ skincare brands of late!

P.s. If you haven’t already read my blog review on their Booster serums and sleeping masks, you guys are missing out. Read it HERE!

Anyway, let’s get back to business.

Like many fellow Singaporeans, my first encounter with Cute Press was with their popular loose powder. Many tourists stock up on several containers when they visit Thailand, before it was available in Singapore🤣

Cute Press has recently released a new range of loose powder- the Evory Snow Snow Translucent Loose Powder– to let you show off your real beauty ✨

Enjoy a naturally flawless complexion and a fresh youthful glow!

This loose powder comes in 2 packagings: their standard tub (15g) @ $20.90 and in a NEW portable loose powder tube (4.5g) @ $22.90.

They are available for purchase on Shopee and Lazada, along with all your other Cute Press faves like their Sleeping Masks and Booster Serums!

You can also take 10% off your order (Evory Snow series only) on Shopee with the code “CUTEEVS10” (apply in the voucher section at checkout)!

I don’t get anything from this code, just a little bonus for all you readers! ❤️

BENEFITS

Invisible snow flex & pearl pigments that gives your skin a natural and healthy glow
Blur pores & skin imperfections
True-to-colour & prevent your foundation from oxidizing
Oil control powder for up to 8 hours
Weightless & make your skin feel comfortable
Talc-free, silicone-free and parabens-free
Suitable for all skin tones!

The powder is ultra-fine and so weightless, it’s like a second skin and gives you a filter-like look.

Simply sweep on the powder after applying your base foundation + blush/ contour for a blurring and perfecting finish!

LOOK AT THAT DIFFERENCE.

Goodbye pores and skin texture, goodbye to all those little imperfections.

Let me dedicate a special rambling paragraph to the portable tube packaging, because I love it so much!!

This is the perfect companion for touch-ups on the go!

I love how handy and portable it is 💪🏻 No more carrying around a separate brush + powder in your bag– look at how cute and convenient this tube is!

It is also a lot more hygienic- I used to dump my brush directly in my bag because I didn’t want to bring out my makeup pouch (and it doesn’t fit in smaller clutches)- but this tube is so small and perfect!

Best thing of all- this tube is reusable, so you can refill it when it runs out! No more wastage- you can help save the environment while still looking cute 😊✨

I know I’m gushing about it a liiiittle too much, but this product has solved a problem I had for many years lol.

Cute Press really delivers on all their releases and I am a huge fan every time! 😌

If you’ve made it all the way till the end of this very long review, congratulations! 🎉

I hope my detailed review will help you and inspire you to pick up the Evory Snow range for yourself!

It is really priced so affordably and feels amazing, so make sure to pick up a tube (especially the portable version) on your next shop!

Once again: They are available for purchase on Shopee and Lazada, along with all your other Cute Press faves like their Sleeping Masks and Booster Serums!

You can also take 10% off your order (Evory Snow series only) on Shopee with the code “CUTEEVS10” (apply in the voucher section at checkout)!

Hiii all! I’m back with another skincare review today– and it’s one of my favourite skincare brands of late! Cute Press has recently released 3 Booster Serums to serums to go perfectly with their sleeping masks.

Maybe you’ve not seen either product– and I hadn’t either before this year! Their skincare offerings are a relatively new expansion for them– most of us may know them for their popular loose powder, with many tourists stocking up on several containers-worth when they visit Thailand (lol)! 🤣

When they were stocked in Watsons and later on on Shopee I purchased their foundation cushion and loose powder. Highly recommend it as an affordable drugstore brand with a very nice finish! ✨

But I digress. My first encounter with their skincare was earlier this year, when they launched their sleeping masks and invited me to try them out for myself!

In all honesty, I didn’t expect to love them as much as I did! Believe me when I say the hype is 100% real! I went through 3 tubs of the stuff between me and my boyf, and purchased them as gifts for my friend to try too 😌 I don’t recommend anything I don’t love!

Here are their benefits:

Lock in moisture for up to 10 hours
Rejuvenate and plump up your skin overnight
Non-sticky, lightweight gel texture
No rinse or wash-off needed
Very gentle and suitable for all skin types
6 Free (parabens, silicone, alcohol, mineral oil, perfume, synthetic colour)

Overall, my skin was very happy with the sleeping masks that were added to my nightly routine. When Cute Press approached me again to ask if I would like to try out their new Booster Serum, I agreed right away!

The booster serums are priced at $24.90, and the sleeping masks are priced at $23.90. They are available for purchase on Shopee and Lazada, and the sleeping masks are available for purchase at selected Watsons stores as well.

But I’ll let you in on a good deal I found 👀 because who doesn’t love a good discount? Cute Press have a Skin Rescue Duo deal available on Shopee where you can purchase a booster serum + sleeping mask in any combination you wish for a discounted price of $38 (U.P. $48.80).

You can also take 10% off all booster serums in Shopee with the code “CUTEEVE10” (apply in the voucher section at checkout)!

I don’t get anything from this code, just a little bonus for all you readers! Limited to the first 50 people and valid till 30 November 2021 ❤️

But if both the booster serums and sleeping masks have similar targeted benefits, what’s so amazing about using both the booster serum and the sleeping mask together, you may ask?

Let me break it down for you.

Why use the Cute Press Booster Serum?

X2 Self Care Duo - boost the effects of sleeping mask by 2x
Strengthens & promotes healthier skin
Rejuvenate and plump up your skin overnight
Non-sticky, lightweight serum
Very gentle and suitable for all skin types
6 Free (parabens, silicone, alcohol, mineral oil, perfume, synthetic colour)
Smoothens skin and improves skin appearance and texture

These booster serums have been formulated to boost the effects of the sleeping masks, as well as provide a more ‘customisable’ skincare routine that is now suitable for daytime use as well.

If you want a X2 booster effect, you can pair the booster serum and sleeping mask of the same series.

However, depending on your skin concerns or skin goals, you may want to mix and match different booster serums and sleeping masks to achieve targeted benefits.

Perhaps you want to purchase the 8hr Full Night Sleep Booster Serum for added hydration day & night + the Calming Cica Sleeping Mask to fight maskne and soothe troubled skin.

Or you may want to fight dull skin with the 1 Week Brightening Booster Serum + the 8hr Full Night Sleep Sleeping Mask! It’s entirely up to you.

Your journey to good skin starts now.

let's take a closer look, shall we?

This serum, combined with the sleeping mask, is intensely hydrating, yet lightweight. My skin felt very hydrated, supple, and firm in the morning.

Appearance-wise, I feel like the boost of hydration helped with smoothing out skin texture and improving radiance. This combination is a favourite with me for my dehydrated yet oily skin.

I use the Calming Cica series whenever I experience bad breakouts, and to help reduce the redness that I usually get in my complexion. I regularly deal with bad maskne + hormonal acne, and this combination helps with reducing redness & soothing my skin.

I like that it’s very gentle and 6-free, with no irritants. Sometimes, I combine this series with the Full Night Sleep range when my skin feels very itchy & dehydrated.

I tend to use the Brightening Booster Serum in the daytime for extra glow. When I first tried their sleeping masks previously, I actually really wanted something that could go under my makeup.

While their sleeping masks were non-sticky, they still aren’t designed to be used under your makeup directly. Applying foundation on top of it– even when dry– may cause piling of the foundation + the hydrogel-like mask formula.

Sure, I would wake up with hydrated, revitalised skin, but I would have to cleanse first before applying my makeup. I wanted a little boost of that little extra something something to keep my skin feeling fresh and hydrated throughout the day– and now I have it!

If you’ve made it all the way till the end of this very long review, congratulations! 🎉

I hope my detailed review will help you decide which Cute Press Booster Serum + Sleeping Mask X2 Self Care Duo will be best for your skin needs.
