Baby Choux Base: Sweet Recipe Mint Review

Today I will be posting another Review, This time about  Etude House Sweet recipe baby Choux Base, #01 Mint SPF25, PA++

I chose to buy the Mint (green colored) one because my skin is very light and tents to get pink very easily. I have been looking for a product I can use for light make up that will shield against my pinkish under tone. In Japan I could not find the Mint version so I ordered it online.

the cute box

here it is on my hand so you can see its pigment

 I have been using it for a little over a month and I love it, as you can tell there is a lot of product I haven't had to buy a new one yet and i use it every time I do my make up. On the down side its actually a little bit too pigmented to the point I kinda have no color at all in my skin so I mix it with a brightening primer for the perfect tone. Also it is easy to just apply powder over it and go with a more natural make up look. My skin is fairly dry and this keeps it moisturized. I use to have a problem where at the end of the day some of my skin would seem to dry up under my make up. Also I had to use a thick BB cream or foundation to get a flawless skin look. If you have a yellow skin tone this product should just make you paler if its what your looking for.

Pros;

great packaging
good pigment
corrects the pink in my skin
moisturizing
feels good on skin
smells like lotion
comes with a spoon ! (very sanitary)
SPF 25

Cons;

the green color is a little bit strong..
only a little bit of pore coverage

Overall Rating;

My overall rating for it would be a four because of the fact the green is very strong so I still have to use a little powder or add some brightener (but this is just for me)

Now Natural look is possible!



I would definitely suggest this product to people who want paler skin and/or to auto correct pink in there skin.

Where did I buy it?

I bought it off ebay but it seems that seller isn't selling it anymore but here is the link for the search; here

Here is Etude Houses English site
