I know I haven't blogged in a while, due to having a crazy workload with school, but I'm back. Now, I just got this product in the mail about two weeks ago, but I've been dying to do a review on it because I absolutely love it. Today I'm reviewing....
Etude House's Nymph Aura Boosting Primer!
This was actually a little difficult to get my hands on. It seems production of the Nymph Aura line (primer, 'volumer', and powder) has been discontinued. Anyway, I'm in love with this baby right here. It's perfect for those days when you want to look good, but either don't have the time--or don't feel like doing--or makeup. Or if you're having a sick day and look a little pale, this primer will add some color right back into your skin.
It comes in this pretty little tube. Just be sure not to squeeze the tube too hard when you're first trying to get the primer out, because you'll end up with a giant glob of peach primer on your fingers. A few gentle squeezes will be enough.
Here, I've put the primer on my hand. As you can see, it's a peachy color that looks pretty bright against my skin tone, but watch...
A few seconds of rubbing the primer onto my hand, and you've got a nice, airbrushed look! You can probably see the subtle line of demarcation on my wrist between where my real skin color starts and the primer fades, but hopefully you know that when you put this on your face, you should always blend down under your chin and probably a bit of your neck, as well.
I read some other reviews on this product, and people were complaining that the smell was too strong, or they didn't like the glittery effect it gave. I, for one, actually enjoy the light floral scent, and don't find it to be overwhelming or strong at all. And I also didn't notice any shimmer in the primer, so I'm not sure what people are talking about there. I've really been swearing by this primer lately, because it's basically half-primer, half-BB cream. You get that whitening effect you would get from BB cream, but you also get the polished and slightly-colored look of primer. It's perfect!
If you're looking to purchase this or other Nymph Aura products, I recommend eBay or Amazon. From what I've seen, none of the online Asian beauty product stores carry this line. Maybe the Etude House website still has it, though I'm not sure, since the website won't load on my computer for some reason.
I also got a free sample of the Nymph Aura Volumer (which I'm fairly certain is supposed to be Volumizer...), but it's not really enough to do a product review on. I definitely plan on buying a full bottle of the volumer at some point, so expect a review on that, too.
