[Review] Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance and Smooth Pores Whitening Serum Cream VS Garnier Light Complete White Speed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream

Hi girls, now I will talk about my two moisturizers that I used recently. I tried two kind of moisturizers from the same brand because I just wanted to know which was work better for me. They are : 

Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance and Smooth Pores Whitening Serum Cream (because the name is so long let's just call it Garnier Sakura) and

Garnier Light Complete White Speed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream (just call it Garnier Light Speed).

 

The both serum cream.

Actually, I already used Garnier cream for more than a year and it worked well in my skin, but I see that Garnier doesn't produce the cream anymore, instead, they produce serum cream. They claim that the serum cream has richer formula and it is better than the previous cream. 

The consistency

To make it easy, I will make a table comparing both serum cream from Garnier below : 

	Garnier Light Complete	Garnier Sakura White
Claims	-          Fairer skin up to 3 tones. -          Fades dark spots, dullness, & acne marks. -          Speed up your whitening.	-          Just 1 touch : skin is intensely moisturized, smooth & pores look tightened. -          Day after day : skin becomes fair, fresh, translucent with pinkish glow. -          In 4 weeks, clinically proven, skin is 60% more pinkish radiant, pores are 30% less visible.
Sun protection	SPF 19/PA+++	SPF 21/PA+++
Color	White	Pink
Consistency	Cream	Cream, but look lighter that Garnier Light Complete Serum Cream
Scent	Strong lemon	Mild flower (sakura)
Price	Around USD 2	Around USD 2
Result on me	I don’t see the whitening effect after using 1 pot contain 18 ml cream.	I see the whitening effect, it also give pinkish radiant effect as it claims after one month using it daily.
Best for	Oily skin.	Normal, dry, and sensitive skin.

Final Verdict : 

For me, Garnier Sakura White is better because my skin type is dry skin and Garnier Light Complete drying my skin. I also hate the strong lemon scent. I think Garnier Light Complete is better for you who have oily skin with/without acne problems. 

Although I like Garnier Sakura White, I don't like its pinkish effect. My skin is not fair as Asian skin, but my skin is yellow, some kind of Javanese skin tone. In my yellow skin, the pinkish radiant give the strange color, and I feel like my skin became grey. Sometimes I also think that yellow skin with pinkish radiant is weird. For hydrating, this serum worked so so. I think I need more moisturizer cream with good hydrating effect. I can say that this both products are suitable for teenager's skin. For mature skin, ehmm... better looking for other moisturizers.

[Review] Khalisa Lip Care Pure Vanilla Honey

Hello, 

Do you know that our lips also need protection from UVA and UVB. Believe me or not, I just realized that several months ago. That's why I decided to buy lip care product that has UV protection because I realized that finding lipstick with UV protection was more difficult than finding lip care with sun care. At that time, my choice was Khalisa Lip Care. I chose the pure vanilla honey variant because it has no color. I can use it before put on my colorful lipstick. 

Khalisa Lip Care Pure Vanilla Honey

This product has SPF 25. I think that this SPF is enough for my lips. Some lips products usually just have SPF 15, so its SPF is quite high. It is also enriched with Vitamin E and intensive moisture. It also has Halal certificate, so for moslims, don't worry while using it. It has vanilla scent. I really love this scent.

Ingredients : 

Polybutene, Octyldodecanol, Ozokerite, Isopropyl Palmitate, Olea Europea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Petrolatum, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cera Alba, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Polyethylene, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Flavor, Tocopheryl Acetate. 

How to use : 

Use it whenever you need and want. Ha!

Result on me : 

As you can see in the ingredients, there are so many ingredients that create greasy and thick feeling on lips, like oils, cera alba, butter, etc. I usually use it regularly in the night. In the day, sometimes I use it before applying lipstick on my lips. Sometimes I skip this product in the morning because I don't like its result on my lipstick. It make my lipstick fade easily and glossy even if I wear matte lipstick. It also makes my lipstick difficult to apply because of my sticky lips after using this lip care. 

I had read from some blog, that to vanishing this sticky feeling, you should leave this lip care/lip balm some time to absorb on your lips. Then, you can dab your lips with tissue before applying the lipstick. Unluckily, I usually have bath right before going out, so, I just have few time for make up and put on my skin care, so, waiting this lip care to absorb is really took time for me. But, you can try it. 

What I like : 

- Cheap.

- Has UV Protection (SPF).

- Love the vanilla scent.

What I don't like : 

- No PA (Protection for UV A).

- Sticky and greasy.

Price : About IDR 18,000 (About USD 1.5) for 2.2 g.

Repurchase : Maybe. (Yes, it is cheap and has high SPF)

Score : 7/10
