Where I got it: I got this from Mannings store in Hong Kong while I over there for a holiday. It was HKD $198. Which is about NZD $36.00,
What I got: This is a L’Oreal White Perfect Miracle Double Whitening Skin-Transforming Cream. Visibly improves skin texture, helps reduce dullness, skin tone becomes even, refines pores, and hydrates skin intensively. Skin looks flawless and translucently bright, radiance reveals as if from within. MAGIC BEADS + MELANIN VANISH TECHNOLOGY provides double whitening actions: visibly instant brightness & fairness day after day. 1. MAGIC BEADS : Boosts skin upper layer fairness immediately. 2. MELANIN VANISH TECHNOLOGY : Combined with vitamin CG, it simultaneously acts on skin to remove dullness, efficiently whitens for fair radiance.
How I find it: I am not quite sure if this is suppose to be a makeup product or a skincare product, but I use it as a makeup product to even out skintone and give a brighter look to the skin. I would apply this after my sunscreen as an overall evening skintone product. So I would either apply a foundation on top when I want more coverage or apply concealor and powder when I don’t need much coverage. The cream comes out white, when it has pigment capsules and once you spread it onto the skin, the pigment will be released.
Overall: The pigment/coverage if you like is similar to a CC cream or even lighter. It will match basically all skin tones because it is such a thin layer of pigment. However it does make my skin look brighter and whiter. It doesn’t have any SPF protection in it so I would definitely use something underneath or a foundation with SPF protection. It has a really nice scent to it and the brightening effect is quite desirable for me (especially to Asian – we love fair skin). However I can see that it is can be a bit of a white mask over the skin if you apply too thick or 2 layers. You are suppose to wear this day after day to see whitening results, but I don’t wear it often so I cannot see whitening results on my skin. Overall, a nice light coverage product to even skintone and brighten my skin.
