prettyandcute.com review



Bonjour mes amis!

I recently ordered from a website called prettyandcute  that sells Japanese/Korean beauty products.  I was really impressed with their selection of BB creams which was what I was looking for.

The package was well packed with Styrofoam packing peanuts which kept things stable.  I received free shipping shipping for spending 50+ dollars and my package came 4 days after I ordered.  I’m hugely impressed with that because usually when I order from online stores it takes at least a week to arrive 

The first thing I ordered were two boxes of the My Beauty Diary sheet masks ($13.75 each).  I bought the aloe and pearl powder versions.  Both of the masks feel really wet and slimey when I first put them on which is a little off-putting.  After a couple minutes though, they start to feel nice and cooling.  The aloe is very soothing.  My skin feels really moisturized after using. Other than helping to moisturize, I haven't noticed any other benefits.  The pearl powder one does a lot as far as whitening.  I've used about 5 of these so far. It really helps to fade acne scars.  Also i feel like it has actually lightened my skin tone a bit because I've noticed my face is now a little whiter than my neck. 

Aloe Mask:  .5 out of 5
Pearl powder Mask:   out of 5

The next thing I got is the Skin79 Lovely Girl BB cream ($14.49).  It seems a bit greyish when swatched but it oxidizes to be quite close to my skin tone.  It provides light/medium coverage.  It tends to get kind of oily throughout the day so this isn't the best for people with oily skin.  I love the packaging though.  It's in a pink squeeze tube and it has a really cute shift to the pink.  


Overall:.5 out of 5




I also purchased the Lioele Dollish Veil Vita BB cream in the shade “Natural Green” ($22.00).  I bought this instead of the purple shade because green is supposed to cancel redness.  I use this as a primer under other bb cream or foundation in the parts of my face that get red. It does keep my face from getting red, but it doesn't control oil or have any of the other benefits most primers have.


Overall:.5 out of 5



 

Next thing I got is the famous Hot Pink Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Functions ($29.66).  I bought this one instead of the gold label because this is supposed to be better for people with oily skin.  I love this bb cream.  It has a very light scent that doesn't bother me.  The coverage is pretty good.  It's not greyish like most bb creams.  It also doesn't get too oily throughout the day.  This has been my everyday bb cream/foundation type thing lately.

Overall:.5 out of 5



This isn’t as interesting as the BB creams, but I got 2 velcro hair pad thingies ($3.95 for two).  They do a great job of holding your fringe out of your face when you’re doing your makeup or washing your face. 


Pretty and Cute also sent me 2 freebies!  When I checked out online, they offered you a choice of samples and I picked the Lioele Beyond the Solution BB cream.  However, the bow fringe grip (essentially the same thing as the ones mentioned above but so much cuter!!!) was a total surprise.  That’s really nice that they sent that and cute things like this are what always make me reorder from places.

Overall I’m happy with the products I received and I will absolutely be ordering from prettyandcute.com again in the future!  I was able to save on my order by using a coupon code from the lovely Jen.  You should check out her blog and youtube channel for great product reviews and tutorials.

Au revoir!
