April Skin Magic Snow Cream is one the bestselling product of April Skin. Been seeing this one online but had no idea what it's for.
 

When I first got this snow cream, I wondered if this cream is used for skincare or as a makeup product. The product info we’re written in Korean so made a research first before using the product.

Product Info: April Magic Snow Cream is a cream that provides instant whitening and even long term whitening. It is very quick absorbing and doesn't smear on clothes. For key ingredients, they use Himalaya Glacier Milk as it contains minerals such as chlorine, magnesium and zinc which nourish skin with moisture and stimulate effective skin metabolism.

Packaging: Comes in this triangular white and apple green box with holographic snowflakes design around it. (click the photo to enlarge)
 
The product comes in this white tube.
 

Weight: 70ml

Price: Pls ask Cheska’s Store for the price

Scent: No scent

Shade/Color: Cream is in plain white color. Very sheer upon blending on skin.

Consistency: Watery, light and moisturizing. Glides easily upon application. Gets absorbed easily by the skin.

How To Use: You can actually use this for 3 purposes.
 
* As a Skincare: - Apply it every morning at the last step of skin care routine.
* For Makeup: - Apply Magic Snow Cream and add BB cream or foundation on top of it to make your makeup more brightening and moisturizing
* For other areas of the body: - Helps brighten up pigmented areas like knees, elbow and armpits. Review:

Review/Results: At first, I was actually confused as to how I would use the product. So I actually tried it as a skincare, makeup and for the body in my 2 months of trying this product out.

*As a Skincare: *Actually forgot to take a photo on this one. But my skin is currently suffering from pimple breakouts (hormonal pimples) + blemishes as you can see on the photo below :( Anyway, this product did lighten my skin A BIT but didn't really have much effect on the blemishes.

*As a Makeup Base: (Pls excuse my current skin condition. Had lots of pimple breakouts lately T.T )
 

*For the body:
 

Made a video review on my Youtube channel below:

Pros:
- Instant whitening
- Hydrating/moisturizing
- Feels lightweight on the skin
- Easily absorbs the skin
- Non sticky
- Handy packaging
- Can be used as a skincare (for moisturizing) and makeup (makeup base for brightening effect)

Cons:
- Whitening effects are temporary

Verdict: Overall, I love this product as this can be used as skincare and makeup in one. As a makeup product, I do recommend this for those who want to brighten up their face and give and instant glow to their look. This product is recommended for dry skin especially when used as a makeup base as it really hydrates and moisturize the skin.
For 2 months of use, I use this as a skincare whitening cream that I apply overnight. It gives a nice glow after wash though not much change on my blemishes and pimple marks.

Been seeing Shizen Ramen for months now and was so curious as to what this ramen house offers. I was planning to dine here a few times but there’s place is always full whenever I pass by.
 
 

Good thing, a few days ago, finally went here and there weren’t many customers around.

Shizen Ramen is one of the newest ramen house in Marikina located at Bayan-Bayanan Avenue in Marikina Heights, Marikina City. Place isn’t hard to find though a bit tricky to look for when you’re not familiar with the place. Coming from Cubao/Katipunan/Bayan Marikina, I suggest riding a jeepney/fx with SSS/Parang Molave signage and asked to be dropped at Meralco. Just look for the gas station near Meralco and walk straight. Shizen Ramen is just 1-2 blocks away.

Place is a bit small with indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine outside since it’s a bit hot inside. There were Japanese designs seen in the place though I think they needed more Japanese feels with the place.

Menu was handed to us and here’s what I got, grabbed from their Zomato page:
 

Here’s what we ordered:

Chasyu Ramen (Php179)
“4pcs Chasyu, Wakame, Spring Onion, Egg”
 
-I was just wowed when I saw how HUGE their servings for the ramen. J Anyway, their Chasyu Ramen is very tasty (though not that creamy) as well as the pork included.  The Chasyu/pork was very thick but soft and easy to chew. The noodles used were thick and it was sooooo GOOOD !!

Yakuza Ramen (Php189)
“Beef strip, Mushroom, Tofu, Beansprouts, Chili”
 
-HUGE servings again. I think this was more tasty and exciting as compared to the Chasyu Ramen as it has a rich taste and the spicy flavor really adds up to its goodness. Though I think both really tastes differently good J

3pcs Gyoza (Php80)
-Their gyoza were thick, huge and VERY TASTY. (As in di ka talaga tinipid kasi siksik ung flavors/lasa ng gyoza nila). But I find it disappointing that it was only 3 pcs gyoza given the price L

Overall, we really had a great time dining here and the two ramen we had were REALLY GOOD. It was good, rich in flavors and that HUUUUGE servings though J They’re a bit underrated (haven’t seen a review about their restau) so I think this ramen house really deserves a shout out and recognition since they deserve such.

If you want good quality and authentic tasty ramen in Marikina, this is definitely a place to be J

April Skin is a Korean makeup and skincare brand that became popular a year ago. They actually have lots of most raved products in the market like their April Skin Cushion and Magic Stone. And now comes this April Skin Magic Snow Fixing Foundation. 
 

When I first saw this one, I was so in loooove! Just look at that sleek and rose gold packaging. (Totally in love with rose gold color nowadays). Besides from the packaging, also been hearing lots of positive feedback from this cushion so I got really excited to try and review this baby. :) 

Product Info: This April Skin Magic Snow Fixing Foundation is a cushion compact that provides full matte coverage for that flawless finish and easy touch-up on-the-go. 
Even though it provides full matte coverage, this cushion is very light weight that just looks and feels like your skin. It perfect for oily skin (like mine) as it helps controls oiliness that keeps your makeup fresh all day long. It also provides sunscreen protection SPF30/PA++. 

**Pls don't be confused with the other April Skin Cushion which is also in pink color. The other one is the shiny pink version which is for tone correcting. 

It's main ingredients are all natural which are: 
*Green Tea Leaf Water (Rich antioxidants that protects skin from damaging and decreases appearance of wrinkles) 
*Jeju Cherry Blossom Extracts (Keeps skin moisturized and radiant) 
*Camellia Japonica Flower Extract (Antioxidant properties of Camellia extract prevents skin-aging) 

Packaging: Comes in this rose colored box with a sticker at the back part for authenticity. (click the photo to enlarge)
 
While the cushion comes in this rose gold color which I really really love. Very dainty. 
 
It also has this mesh net which is very different from the usual cushion I see. This mesh filter ensures even application. 
A pink cute puff in also included:
 

Shades: It comes in 3 shades. I got the #21 Light Beige shade. 
Weight: 15g 

Price: Pls ask Cheska's Store for the price

Scent: Powdery scent

Consistency: More liquidy or watery than cream or the April Skin Cushion (Black/White). When spread or applied on the skin, it becomes powdery or matte.

Coverage: Medium to Full, buildable; it can cover my pimple marks, imperfections and uneven skin tone.
(Pls excuse my current skin condition. Had lots of pimple breakouts lately T.T )
  

How To Use: 
1. Remove translucent film from mirror 
2. Open the lid and remove protective firm 
3. Gently press cushion using a provided puff 
4. Light pat the puff on skin 

Review: I road tested this April Skin Snow Fixing Foundation and below is my review: 

@2PM 
- This is my final look for the April Skin Snow Fixing Foundation. For the application, I use the cushion to spread the product on my face then used beauty blender to even out the foundation. Personally, I like to use the beauty blender better as I find that I can control the product with this one compared to the cushion. Pls also take note that I used Quick Fx No Shine Mattifier as a primer and Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Foundation as the finishing powder. - I like that I don't need much concealer to hide my imperfections. - The finish was very matte and satin. It was not sticky nor heavy on my face. 

@7PM (After 5 hours) 
- Already rode a public vehicle, roam around the mall, ate dinner then met up with some friends. As you can see, there were minimal/almost non existent oil on my t-zone area. My face still looks matte and fresh. 
@9PM (7hours) 
- Oil already starts to build up on my tzone especially the nose but it's still manageable. It just looks dewy in a good way. I asked few of my friends if my face already looks oily but they never noticed that I'm already starting to build up oil. They were actually quite surprised that I had this makeup since 2pm. 

@12AM (10hours) 
- Walked and commuted going home. Noticeable oil can already be seen on my t-zone area and it started to feel sticky on my skin. Reasonable since it's been 10 hours already since I put the April Skin Snow Fixing Foundation on my face. 

Pros: 
- Excellent oil control 
- Matte finish 
- Flawless coverage 
- Feels lightweight on the skin 
- Evens out skin tone 
- Non cakey 
- Love the matte rose pink packaging 
- Was able to start building up oil after 7 hours (was able to stretch the foundation up to 10 hours before I felt really oily) 
- Perfect for oily skin like me 

Cons: 
- Pricey for a foundation/cushion 

Verdict: After road testing this product for a day, I was very surprised that this foundation was able to control the oiliness of my face. 
First of all, I do have an oily and acne prone skin. For my blemishes, imperfections and blemishes, this foundation was able to cover it all though I still need a bit of concealer just to be sure. (I believe that if you have a good skin, you won't actually need a concealer). 
Coverage was good as you can go for medium to full coverage. I prefer to use the beauty blender to even out the foundation on my face. Also I can control the coverage more by using the beauty blender. 
For oily skin, better to use a good primer and finishing powder for a matte and long lasting finish.
For dry skin, use a moisturizer first before using this foundation.
Oil starts to build up after 7 hours (minimal/non noticeable oil build up) which I'm impressed. I usually oil up after 3 hours so I'm quite impressed with this product. Was able to stretch the product for 10 hours without any retouch. Though a touch is already a must after 10 hours. 


Overall, I'm HIGHLY IMPRESSED with this foundation and this is totally RECOMMENDED FOR OILY SKIN like me. 
**A good primer and finishing powder is a must for better results and longevity of the foundation.
