The Face Shop Natural Sun Eco Super Perfect Sun Cream($12)

Protect your skin from the sun while staying fresh all day. This sunscreen has SPF 50 PA+++ which blocks both UVA and UVB rays, protecting the skin all day long. It is also specially formulated to have a non-sticky consistency, not leaving any grease or oil film upon application and even after long hours.
Ingredients: Water,  Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate, Cyclomethicone, Isostearyl Isostearate, Zinc Oxide, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Squalane, Polysorbate 60, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Bacillus Ferment, Saccharomyces/Camellia Sinensis Extract Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate, Stearic acid, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Aluminum Stearate, Dimethicone, Alumina, Oleth-10, Isodeceth-6, Polyacrylate-13, Polysorbate 20, Polyisobutene, Sorbitan Stearate, Citric Acid, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Simethicone, Disodium EDTA, Propylene Glycol, Isostearic Acid, Diazolidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol

I'm really going to have to work on a sunscreen comparison post. I've accumulated so many sunscreens that I may need a separate storage drawer to organize them. Ever since I discovered my current everyday sun gel, The Orchid Skin Aqua UV Sun Gel, I've been reluctant to use any other form of sun block. Gels prevent my oily skin type from turning into a greasy mess, particularly around the T-zone area. This Face Shop sun cream does claim to "not leave any grease or oil upon application" but I'm hesitant to use it during the summer. I did enjoy The Yeon All Day Sun Cream this past spring but, as the weather got warmer, it seemed to exacerbate oiliness on my face. Long story short, I'll have to use the Eco Super Perfect Sun Cream when the weather starts to cool down.

It's Skin Star CC Cream ($19)

This 7-in-1 multi cream works as a moisturizing cream, brightening cream, anti-wrinkle cream, sunscreen, and BB Cream, primer, and illuminator, all in one. Great for covering up unsightly blemishes and evening out the skin tone. Star CC Cream discreetly corrects and perfects the skin tone while providing a naturally healthy glow! Use it daily for light coverage, sun protection from UVA/UVB with SPF 36 / PA++, skin brightening and diminishing the look of wrinkles.
How to use: Dispense a penny-sized amount of product and evenly apply onto face using fingers, sponge or foundation brush. Gently blend in.
Ingredients: Water, cyclopentasiloxane, ethylhexyl/methoxycinnamate, glycerin, titanium dioxide, cyclomethicone, zinc oxicde, cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, sorbitansesquioleate, arbutin, hexyl laurate, sodium chloride, dimethicone copolyol, dimethicone/vinyl, dimethiconecrosspolymer, luffacylindrica fruit extract, cocosnucifera (coconut) fruit extract, propolis extract, tocopheryl acetate, silica dimethyl silylate, polyester-1, adenosine, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol, Cl 77492, Cl 77491, Cl 77499, phenoxyethanol, fragrance

Initially I wasn't all that interested in this CC cream but the product claims have me all curious about the product. I've got some "unsightly blemishes" at the moment that need some major coverage. I like how the cream is white so it will adjust to your skin tone no matter what your shade is. I'll probably have to layer a BB cream or concealer over it because this will not give me enough coverage. (or maybe it will?) *fingers crossed* The CC cream looks more like a primer base which evens out your skin tone. I'm thinking this deserves a full review so give me a few weeks to test this out.

Easy Beauty It's My Cushion-DIY Case ($9)

Have a favorite liquid foundation but do not want to bring the entire foundation bottle with you? Easy Beauty It’s My Cushion lets you bring your favorite foundation anytime, anywhere in a more convenient compact cushion form.You can mix your own foundation and skin essence and put it in this DIY cushion case! This cushion technology allows you to apply your foundation flawlessly.
How to use:
1. Mix your favorite foundation into the It’s My Cushion DIY Case.
2. Put the cushion sponge over your foundation mixture and gently push it down using a Q-tip.
3. Clean up the excess foundation that flows out and it’s ready to use!

If you've been following my blog, you're already aware of my latest obsession with cushions. You can read about my latest cushion haul here. I like the idea of putting in your favorite foundation or BB/CC cream in a cushion compact and carrying it around in a makeup bag for easy touch ups. Missha released a Magic Cushion Case and many other brands are following suit. There aren't too many cushion compacts with a formula catered towards oily skin so I can customize this to my skin's needs. If you want more sun protection you can mix in a sun cream or add in a facial oil if you've got dehydrated skin.
One of the biggest complaints about Korean cushions are the lack of shade ranges. Typically there are only 2 shades to select from, No 21 or No 23. I fall under 21 but if you've got a darker skin tone, you're out of luck. (unless you're going for that white cast look) I'm not much of a DIY person but creating a customized face product for this DIY Case looks relatively easy and fun to do.

FINAL THOUGHTS
This value set is sold out on the website but it may come back in stock so check back frequently. It was $33 and I paid $23.10 with the 30% off. A great deal in my opinion! There's currently a $5 Deals & Steals sale until 7/17 11:59 PM. Happy shopping!
