[REVIEW]
1. Magic Stone Original
I am using the Magic Stone Original to remove my make up as it is meant to remove heavy make up. The deep cleansing of the product is good and it does not irritates my skin.
First, rinse the soap with water and make lots of foam out of the soap. Then massage the foam on your face and gently smooth the foam around your face and leave it for a good 30 seconds before rinsing it off with water.
The soap really did a good job in cleansing face with make up on it. My skin felt so deeply cleansed after using the soap. If you have oily skin, it is okay to wash your face using it day and night. For dry skin, I would recommend you to use it either in the morning or at night, once a day.
My skin really did felt soft right after using the soap. Leaving the foam for 30 seconds helps the skin to absorb the various active components of the soap. People with sensitive skin find it comfortable to use too!
2. Magic Stone Black
The Magic Stone Black soap contains higher percentage of charcoal in it, hence the colour. The charcoal helps to intensify the whitening of skin. I am using both Original and Black in alternative days. It is best to use it for skin detox and to remove light make up. I use this in the morning more often as it is more like a second step cleansing, after the Magic Stone Original.
Since the cleansing product comes in a soap form, it can be use for a longer time compared to liquid form. It is the size of your palm or bigger. It can be used for a really long time.
It is true when people say you will not know how good a product is unless you try it yourself. Magic Stone cleansing soap will not be a hot item in Korea for no reason!
3. Magic Snow Cream
This cream is NOT a cleansing product. It is meant to apply it on the face and leave it overnight or to use it as a base for make up. The cream instantly whiten and brighten your face once you apply. The only disappointing point of the product for me is that, it is hard to whiten your face evenly because it ends up like patches of white instead of an even whitening effect (for me, sadly).
So, I don't use it as a base for my foundation but I do apply it before I sleep at night. Although the cream is in a liquid form, it is not really runny. Once applied on skin, you will not feel any sticky liquid on your face or makes the face oily. It also moisturize the skin.
However,if your skin is more toned, it is not advisable for you to use it as a foundation base for make up because it does not comes in different shade where you can choose.
4. Magic Snow Cushion (No. 22 Pink Beige)
Out of the 4 products, I personally loooove this one the most. The Magic Snow Cushion comes with a cushion puff like any other cushion BB cream products. What impresses me the most is how long lasting the cream is on my face and it acts like a concealer too! I don't even have to use any concealer after applying Magic Snow Cushion. It perfectly covers my skin and it doesn't feel oily at all.
I would say its coverage is so much better than a normal BB Cream as they normally wears off throughout the day and you will have to re-apply it for a few times in a day. The coverage of blemishes is way better than I have imagined.
The only sad thing is that I've bought a shade that is perhaps, too fair for me. There were only 2 choices of shade (No.21 Light Beige and No.22 Pink Beige) that April Skin came out with and I've bought the darker shade (No.22 Pink Beige). But still, it was too fair for me. Maybe that is why April Skin have recently came out with its latest shade, No. 23 Natural Beige. I am definitely buying that shade.
