Viva complimentary

Siapa sih yang gak kenal Viva Cosmetics? Dari jaman si nenek masih pake bedak compactnya dan nyokap yang tiap pagi sebelum kerja pake body lotionnya, sampe nih hidung hafal banget
sama wanginya.
Memang gak banyak produk Viva yang aku pakai, tapi adalah beberapa biji di beauty case. Harganya yang murah meriah dan bahannya yang safe buat kulit setelah teruji berpuluh-puluh tahun, menjadi alasan banyak perempuan -termasuk diriku- untuk memilih Viva. Not to mention hasil pulasan makeupnya pun gak kalah dengan merk lokal lainnya yang lebih mahal.

Beberapa hari yang lalu, akhirnya tiba juga paket dari Viva Cosmetics (^▽^). Paket ini merupakan complimentary dari Viva yang aku dapatkan karena join memberships-nya Viva, padahal dah kapan tau joinnya, dah lupa duluan aku.


Bungkusnya

Setelah dibuka, isinya adalah..........(drumroll please.... #lebay)
 - Milk cleanser & face tonic green tea 100 ml (standard size). Worth to try nih, banyak testi di forum yg bilang nih duet bagus.
 - Viva white all in one face cleanse & bodlot (30 ml tester size). Never try this before, but there's always first time for something.
 - Viva white clean n mask for oily/ acne skin green 10 ml (tester size). Yang ini masker sekaligus pembersih favoritku, pakenya simple banget. Karena dia sekaligus pembersih, jadi biasanya daku pake sebelum mandi, sambil nyapu, ngepel, dan melaksanakan pekerjaan upik abu lainnya. Abis itu, baru deh mandi sambil dibilas. Muka langsung keliatan lebih bersih. Tapi untuk dipakai sebagai facial wash, baunya agak2 kimia banget deh.

Acnes UV Tint SPF 30 PA++

I never care about sunblock before, because I thought my skin is medium tone, and I already using face powder with sunscreen. But everything was changed since I use Hada Labo Gokujyun lotion and milk range. They makes my skin photosensitif, so I'm starting my quest to search sunblock. 

My first choice was Acnes UV Tint. I read alot of good reviews about this product, about how good it deal with oily and acne prone skin, so I gave it a try (my skin is not acne prone, but oily? Yes!) I bought it for IDR 39.900 in Watson. It has small and simple packaging that fit into bag or purse perfectly. It contains 30 gr, with SPF 30 and PA++ that's enough for daily use. It has sheer colour that sink in fastly and blend in perfectly on my face, without any trace of grease and keep my face matt. I also don't find "ashy-effect" like some bloggers do. I also like how it.gives me natural and neat looking. I don't bother use my powder anymore, except for going out. It can be used as makeup base as well. Yay! ლ('▽'ლ) What can't we love more than simpleness (^_-).

After using it for some time, I realize that this sunblock is not only suit for acne prone or oily skin only, but also quite moisturizing for dry skin.

But this sunblock does not work as good as  I expected. I still get sunburn! (´・`). And it clong pores if you don't exfoliate regularly (i alwalys double cleanse my face, but it still has the tendency to clong my pores).

Acnes UV Tint is a very good sunblock for daily use, with reasonable price. But never forget to deep cleanse.

Pros:
- Affordable price
- Easy to get at drugstore or supermarket
- Sheer color
- Moisturizing
- Can be used as makeup base
- Simple packaging
Cons:
- Not protecting enough
- Has the tendency to clong pores
Repurchase:
Maybe, but I'd like to try another brand
