It took me a while to choose a product to review because there are so much! I eventually decided to try a Clio product - PeriPera Heart Glow CC Cream!❤
Very fast with standard shipping! It took roughly a week to arrive ^-^ Veeeery fast!❤
The CC Cream came wrapped up in cosy fedex packaging! (I forgot to take photos ㅠㅠ)
HanaVillage Price:- $19.40
Very reasonable!

There is only one shade.
When you blend the CC Cream, it will adjust to your skin tone~ As seen in the claims photo above, you can see how the CC Cream will appear on two different skin tone.
An 21 which is a light beige & 23 is slightly darker. I'm a 21 in Korean shades~
By three-dimensional heart, I think it means it will make your features stand out because of the moisture glow the CC Cream~❤
. . .
I look for dewy & moisture in a face product so it sounded ideal & I prefer a lighter formula of a CC Cream/Base opposed to a BB/Foundation formula.
I chose this CC Cream also because of Na-Eun. . . just Na-Eun❤
. . .
The packaging is so attractive & looks like a lot of love is designed in it - Even the 'Heart Glow' is shinygold & just look at the heart secure at the top of the box!

All skin types!!
It looks like a person with their arms up! Maybe they are cheering because they got the 'three-dimensional heart' that the CC Cream claims to do ㅋㅋ ^▽^❤
. . .
It only contains 30ml but that is quite good compared to the smaller 15ml version of this CC Cream.
The pump is very hygienic though I find it has quite a temper щ(ಥДಥщ) Just be careful how hard you press because you may end up with too much CC Cream.
The CC Cream is a very light peach-white shade ^^ Don't let this put you off as mentioned before, the CC Cream will adjust to your skin tone after application~ <`∀´>
The consistency of the CC Cream is really interesting!
Before I press down on the swatch, it held its shape very well - Looking like a ordinary CC Cream but when I pressed down, it spread out a bit like a watery-moisturiser!
I'm very used to my Etude House CC Cream which kind of thick so this CC Cream was quite a surprise.
Here you can see how watery it is - It CC Cream 'bleeds' on the line of my finger like ink~ *0*
I find blended does take a while because it is quite smeary due to its water-consistency so it may take patience to blend it (Tip: tap the CC Cream on your face!)
Once blended you can see how bright that side of my hand is & how dewy it is compared to the bare side.
This dewy finish is exactly what I'm looking for in the face product though it might not be everyone else's cup of tea (´∀`)❤
The skin after application feels & looks very soft & smooth like I applied a primer! I believe thats the Ester Oil that smooths out skin texture.
After about a minute, the CC Cream adjusted (oxidised) to fit my skin tone:-
Top
Before colour adjust
Bottom
After - My skin tone!

After - My skin tone!
The CC Cream adjusted to a light beige shade 21 which is my shade.
Most CC Creams are sheer so they do not give the coverage we'd expect from say a BB Cream or foundation. I haven't much in the way of bad spotsat the moment (please stay that way!) so I tested the CC Cream on an insect bite on my hand (damn summer) - The CC Cream only corrected the redness of the bite, making it less visible.
I recommend to use a coverage BB/Foundation or a concealer if you want more coverage.
I applied the CC Cream on my hand & then put on square of blotting paper. I turned my hand up & all blotting papers fell off!
This shows that despite the dewy-moisture the CC Cream has, its not sticky on first application.
Despite the CC Cream is not sticky or oily after first hour of application, this CC Cream does produce quite a lot of oil during the day. It's because its made to give plenty of moisture to your skin.
It does not bother me that much but for those with oily skin may not like this - Best apply powder!
The CC Cream has a feminine peach-floral scent! (｡・ω・｡)ﾉ❤ It really smells lovely & is not overpowering. The scent dissipates when you apply to face.
Here is my bare face with just moisturiser щ(ಥДಥщ) I have dark circles, freckles, & redness around my nose that I want to correct~
I also want a dewy finish to moisturise my skin & give my skin a glowy effect.
I dot on the CC Cream. I only apply this much because I find the CC Cream does get cakey on dry areas despite how moisturising it is.
I like the blended from inner to outer, making sure I blended well near my jaw & hairline to avoid streaking for a natural look.
Blending is quite different because it is a watery-streaky product. Here you can see how streaky it is:-
You can see a immediate difference on my face. After blending my face looks a little bit too bright & a tad streaky so I wait for the CC Cream to settle & adjust to my skin tone:-
This is after the CC Cream adjust to my skin tone! （ ´∀｀）☆ My skin looks much better, brighter & healthier!❤
You can see the dewy finish on my cheeks & how softer my skin appears.
You can see the slight red marks to the bottom right of the picture that were cause by a irritant face mask - The redness is almost covered.
I feel this CC Cream does work like a primer as it minimises the appearance of pores. My pores are not veru big but I can see a smooth finish after applying the CC Cream.❤
This CC Cream does what is says it does, it gives a gorgeous dewy illumination & brightening effect that really makes a different for tired skin!❤
It feels very cooling to apply & very moisturising with no oily/sticky residue on my face though it does crease a little bit on the eyes.
I feel my skin can breathe because its very light & natural!❤
Because the CC Cream acts like a primer/makeup base - I did a example with just BB Cream & then BB Cream with CC Cream underneath:-
My BB Cream is really dark for me at the moment because I've gotten a bit paler ㅠㅠ
But with CC Cream it makes it match my skin a little bit better~ However I find with both BB Cream & CC Cream, it can be a liiiittle bit cakey.
But with this CC Cream, it allows the BB Cream to blended so nicely on the skin for a flawless & long lasting finish.❤
It adheres very well!❤
On Thursday I applied this CC Cream at 3pm & had a meal at a restaurant with my best friend Rebecca. This CC Cream did not 'melt' off my face even over a bowl of steaming chicken ramen & lasted up until 11pm where I cleansed my face （ ´∀｀）☆ Yes!❤
I find it very long lasting! I always wear a dewy product so I'm not sure whether the shine increase over those hours but I didn't feel oily at all!
I really do like this CC Cream!~❤
It's very light-sheer & watery formula brightens up dull, tired skin giving it a healthy & pretty luminous glow. It's hydrates the skin all day long & skin feels like it can breathe!❤
It smooths out rough texture just like a primer & mimimises appearance of pores, fine lines & corrects redness & sallow area - Smooth silky skin instantly!
It's like your skin but better!! (○´∀｀○) ❤ It adjusts to fit your skin tone but people with darker tones may have to use a matching BB/Foundation to avoid a pasty look.
It's long lasting & on me; only creases on my eye lids - It does not melt off even in this really hot weather! I even find its waterproof when I used a facial mist!❤
I do find this CC Cream is quite hard to blend in & if you use too much, it becomes cakey & enhances dry areas - But I think with practice & more use I'll be able to work around this!
There is barely any coverage but with a concealer on BB/Foundation; its easily sorted out.
Overall, I can see myself wearing this for college because it instantly makes my face look more human rather than ghostly & lives up to it claims <`∀´> I'm very glad to have chosen this CC Cream so a big thank you for HanaVillage for this opportunity! (○´∀｀○) ❤

It was right above our house & it sounded like a bomb going off ;-; All I could think was zombieszombies -shudder- Apparently the weather said we are to have another one tonight around 9pm - That'll be a third storm three days in a row ㅠㅠ Why Summer WHY?! sigh
