So, how’s everyone dew-ing??? I’ve been taking more walks outside lately and it’s so nice even tho I’m melting lol. That’s why it’s also been important to reapply my sunscreen and bring it everywhere!

I’ll call myself out here: I commit a skincare sin here and there. That has to be not reapplying SPF consistently. They always say to layer on SPF throughout the day, but I am just so darn lazy. I also wear makeup, so how can I use SPF without worrying about my makeup smudging? That’s where Benton Cosmetics comes in to save the day and my skin.

I was given the Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream by Benton Cosmetics and Picky (@go.picky @pickyrewards) in exchange for my honest review. This product was used for two to three weeks in my daytime skincare regimen to come up with my opinions. Also, I was not obligated to create a blog post for this product. It is being documented on my website for people who do their research on skincare products before purchasing. So, enjoy!

Stay Cool While Staying Hot Under the Sun

Benton’s Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream is available at $19.68 USD for 50 mL on Stylevana. This is a vegan sun screen with SPF 50+/PA++++ and formulated with centella asiatica and botanical extracts to moisturize and cool your skin. Since this sunscreen is PA++++, this means it has UV filters that can keep your skin protected for longer periods of time.

Unlike other sunscreens, Benton’s sun cream seems to be friendly for all skin tones due to its green color. The green is supposed to help with reducing areas where your skin can be red from inflammation. It can also help brighten your skin tone and signs of blemishes. This means no white cast will be in sight.

Another claim for Benton’s Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream is that it can replace your moisturizer. It is not supposed to leave your skin feeling oily or sticky unlike other sunscreens. Basically, this sunscreen seems like a lazy or low-maintenance-friendly product for your healthiest skin. I like the sound of that!

By the way, you can purchase this product at a cheaper price and with 10% off your total if you buy it with my discount code INF10OHMY at Stylevana. If you purchase at least $59 USD worth of your Kbeauty essentials on Stylevana, you can get 15% off your order with that same discount code. I do receive a small percentage of the commission if you use my code.

Here are some listed ingredients in this sunscreen that make it a great choice for you:

• Propanediol: Propanediol is a humectant that draws in moisture from the outside and helps slow down water retention. It also has emollient properties that can help smoothen out skin texture and make it feel nice and soft.
• Niacinamide: Niacinamide is a popular ingredient in skincare products because it can help even out texture and even out your skin tone by fighting discoloration (blemishes, dark spots, and so on).
• Centella Asiatica Extract: Centella asiatica is a must-have for dry skin and acne-prone skin types because of its soothing and antibacterial properties. The ingredient also can help fight discoloration by healing and minimizing the appearance of blemishes.
• Melia Azadirachta (Chinaberry or Miracle Berry): Benton uses the leaf extract and the flower extract for this sun cream. This fruit has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-septic properties to it and has been used in India for medicinal purposes.
• Panthenol: Panthenol is a humectant that draws in and holds moisture so that your skin doesn’t look dull and dehydrated, which can cause breakouts and pimples.
• Tocopherol: Tocopherol contains vitamin B5 which is great for your skin’s nourishment and maintaining that plump, glistening sheen to your skin.
• Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil: Rosemary is perfect for acne-prone skin because it fights inflammation and infection-causing bacteria that can wreak havoc on your skin.

Sun Cream is a Summer Dream

Easy-to-Use Packaging

Love the packaging since it keeps the product sealed and protected from hot weather. The product is easy to open and close with the secure twist lid. Holding the tube, I was surprised that it actually felt cool on the outside! I can imagine myself reapplying my SPF with this because the ice cold sensation can provide much-needed relief in sweaty situations.

Minty Fresh

The sun cream itself is a mint green, watery cream that is lightweight. The smell is a strong rosemary scent that reminds me more of centella, mint and cilantro because of the strong notes, which I personally like! It reminds me a lot of going to a spa because it makes me feel relaxed.

Because of the use of rosemary oil and centella asiatica in this product, I don’t think it would be a great option for applying on top of open skin (like skin that is irritated from shaving) or skin that is very much sunburnt.

No White Cast

The sun cream blends like a dream from green to clear! It took me at most twenty seconds to blend the sun cream into my face, neck, and decolletage area. I was so impressed at how easily it absorbed into my skin. I have a light medium skin tone, so there are times when I have trouble hiding the white cast from sunscreen. Fortunately, there was no white cast at all.

Super Soothing

The cream reduced my redness because it gives an instant cooling effect upon application. This cooling sensation is usually occurring for centella asiatica-heavy products, making this oh-so perfect fo the summertime. I think this cool sensation fades away maybe after 5-10 minutes when the product dries down.

Because of the use of rosemary oil and centella asiatica in this product, I don’t think it would be a great option for applying on top of open skin (like skin that is irritated from shaving) or skin that is very much sunburnt.

Perfect Skin is Possible

The product left my skin looking super dewy, but this dewiness does turn into a slightly tacky finish when dried. This can make it a good makeup primer, or you can just leave it alone as a moisturizer that seals your skin from environmental stressors. My skin never broke out from using this formula and I even received some compliments on how nice my skin was.

Only Caveat for Some People

Not a con for me, but the rosemary scent slightly slightly remains after drying. This is just a note for those who don’t enjoy eucalyptus/cilantro/minty scents or have a sensitive nose.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! Benton created a really nice sun cream since it literally takes seconds to blend with no white cast. My skin gets red easily, and this was a godsend of a product to try since I get red easily in the summer. The formula is sensitive and dry skin-friendly, but maybe not for people who dislike scented skincare. All skin types will probably have a pleasant experience with this sunscreen.

The post You Have No Excuse to Reapply SPF Thanks to Benton Cosmetics Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream appeared first on Style Oh My.

If you’ve been in a creative block with your makeup, maybe it’s time to try something new, right? I’ve been in the same boat with my makeup since most of my items are from pre-pandemic (don’t judge me). Life’s too short to not have fun with what you buy.

The other day I was scrolling through my social media and I stumbled upon the most unique and adorable makeup collaboration that I had seen in a while. Everybody, you have to see the cuteness that is Clio Cosmetics’s Koshort in Seoul makeup collaboration!

What is a “Koshort?”

If you’re unfamiliar with the term “Koshort,” it’s a cute abbreviation to the Korean shorthair breed. This cute little cat is known for its long fur, adorable big eyes, and its curious personality. These traits are what make the breed so popular among Koreans. Although their origin is not clear-cut, Korean shorthair cats have been around since the 8th century.

The Korean shorthair cats come in multiple colors, usually gray or orange, and are known for their distinct stripes. If you are allergic to these beautiful babies, then maybe you can settle with this cute makeup collection instead.

Koshort in Seoul Eyeshadows

What stopped me in my tracks to talk about this collection was their eyeshadow palettes. Sure, the shades are so nice and perfect for warm-toned, everyday looks. The main focal point that set them apart from other makeup palettes had to be the oh-so-adorable stickers.

Clio Cosmetics is marketing this as a unique customization experience for buyers since you can decorate your palette however you’d like! They did such an amazing job with the small details. For example, some of the eyeshadow shades have little paw print embossings on them. So it can look like you’re touching a cute cat paw if you apply the eyeshadow with your fingers.

The first palette that Clio Cosmetics released for this collection is called “Napping Cheese.” The inspiration for this palette comes from the fact that Koshorts can have a cheese scent. So, they’re basically like having a napping cheese buddy as a pet. Would you like to have a pet like that?

The stickers are probably what seal the deal because it has a cute kitty napping with cheese (because the palette is called “Napping Cheese”). I’m such a sucker for cute packaging and punny names, so take a look at the palette for yourself down below.

Clio Cosmetics also added another tier of exclusivity to persuade other makeup collectors and suckers for cute things like myself. You can get their more sturdy, epoxy stickers of napping Korean shorthairs if you purchase in South Korea. Let’s just say I’m jealous. I can literally see myself using the stickers for my phone case.

If you want to purchase this palette, you can buy it for $34.00 USD on Stylevana. You can save 10% off your purchase on the website if you use my discount code INF10OHMY at checkout!

Clio Cosmetics didn’t want to leave the gray Koshorts or cool-tone lovers out of this amazing collection. They have another version for people who prefer cool-toned pinks or mauves, which I think is also a good everyday palette to have on hand.

This second palette is called “Lazy Soft Paw” and is inspired by another cute aspect of the Koshort cat: their paws. Clio Cosmetics described their paws as fun to touch, like a gummy bear. This is why you see the gummy bear eyeshadow in their palette.

I don’t know which palette I find cuter because this palette has gummy bear stickers. I dare you to try and choose just one palette to buy. Take a peek at the shade names because they’re so cute to read.

Of course, I had to show you what their Korean-exclusive version of this palette looked like. It’s so dreamy to look at. I’m sure you would want to get your hands on it, as well.

If you want to purchase this palette, you can buy it for $34.00 USD on Stylevana. You can save 10% off your purchase on the website if you use my discount code INF10OHMY at checkout. Both palette styles are available to purchase, so get it while you can.

Koshort Will Save My Skin, Too

The last part of the collection might be my favorite because it’s a customizable foundation cushion. The Koshort Kill Cover Founwear Cushion is SPF 50 and PA++++ so it can provide protection from UVA and UVB rays for longer periods of time compared to the usual sunscreens. As someone who doesn’t wear foundation much because of the lack of SPF, my eyes are set on purchasing this cushion to try out.

Like all other aspects of this collection, the Koshort inspo is seen with this product. You have cute food stickers but also an adorable set of cat pawprints on the cushion itself. There is also a cat paw-shaped foundation puff inside! Talk about ultimate attention to detail.

The foundation is available in three shades only, with the darkest being Ginger. If you have a fair to light-medium skin tone, this foundation can work out for you. Korean makeup usually has more lighter skin tones, so the shade range isn’t as wide as Western makeup brands.

The foundation shades are all also available for $36.00 USD on Stylevana. You can save 10% off your purchase on the website if you use my discount code INF10OHMY at checkout.

Cat Lovers and Makeup Lovers Unite

Whether or not you love cats, we can definitely agree that this collection has something for everyone! If I had to choose something to purchase, I probably would try out the foundation cushion because of the SPF. Catch me wearing it out this summer!

People will love the eyeshadow palettes if in need of something that can be used for everyday use or for more minimalistic makeup. There’s a perfect mix of dark shades, lighter pastel shades, and shimmers to make you look more awake and glamorous for those special occasion looks. You can even use the darker shades as eyeliner so there’s a lot of possibilities with this collection.

What do you love most about the spring? I’m looking forward to sunny days since that means more flowers, more time to go out, and also more reasons to put on some sunscreen. Our skin is too precious to neglect it even when putting on makeup and looking pretty.

Now that I’m running out of foundation and sunscreen, I was so happy to hear from @heimish_uk so that I could test out their SPF BB creams in exchange for an honest review. Prior to coming up with my honest thoughts, I used the heck out of this BB cream in the course of two to three weeks. The BB creams were basically my second skin during that period so that I can tell you how effective the product is for day-to-day makeup.

What’s the Big Deal with BB Creams?

Heimish’s BB Moringa Ceramide Tinted Moisturizer Makeup and Sunscreen cost $25 USD on their website for 1.05 oz. These BB creams are designed to be the healthy medium between makeup and skincare because you can utilize them for sunscreen, for moisturizer, or as a lightweight makeup foundation. If you go for natural makeup or want makeup that doesn’t clog your pores, I am sure you would like this product.

Each of these BB creams have an SPF 30 PA++ so that you’re protected from harsh UVA and UVB rays for a longer period of time. It is not meant to be a full coverage formula, so if you want a natural, glowy finish that is meant to hide redness and blemishes and support your skin barrier, you can try this one out.

If you want to try this BB cream for yourself, you can purchase this with a 10% discount at Stylevana by using my discount code INF10OHMY at the checkout. You can use this discount code at Stylevana to save 15% off your order if purchasing at least $59 USD worth of product. I do receive a small percentage of commission if you use the code, so go on and have fun stocking up on your Kbeauty essentials!

The BB creams are supposed to enhance your skin’s beauty because it contains show-stopping ingredients such as:

• Moringa Fermented Oil: Moringa is a great anti-aging ingredient because it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This ingredient is antifungal and anti-inflamatory so it is perfect for dealing with redness and constant breakouts while moisturizing the skin.
• Eco-ceramides: Ceramides help promote skin barrier health and moisturize your skin to prevent infection and dry, flaky skin. This is one of the essential ingredients to look out for if you are looking for solutions to dry skin.

Tested for Everything

Lovely Packaging

The packaging is so nice and great for travel! I love the pump nozzle for a hygienic user experience.

Considering the price for this product, you might think that this BB cream is fairly small. However, a little product can go a long way for providing a natural finish that protects your skin. Going on with too much of the BB cream can make your face look like a sweaty girl really quick, so use this on top of your usual SPF if you have other SPF products with you.

Great Shade Range for Kbeauty

There are shades for both warm and cool tones, so there’s something for everyone. In this line, there are 2 shades meant for lighter skin tones with cool undertones. The remaining four shades are neutral undertones and for warm undertones, but they are the darker pigments.

Some people might be iffy about this product for the shade range, but I think it is impressive. I personally don’t think it’s a huge critique considering that Heimish’s customer base is primarily in South Korea, which is where they are founded. They are trying to expand their reach right now (with some of their skincare being readily available now at Walmart stores in the United States). I think eventually they will expand their shade range to cater to their international audience.

Perfect for Hiding Redness and for Natural Looks

I didn’t notice any particular scent when using the BB cream. It comes out as a richly pigmented, lightweight cream that easily covered my redness. A little went a long way for me because 1 pump of the BB cream did just the job of providing coverage without feeling cakey. If you are hoping for a high coverage makeup product that can hide all the pigmentation of pimples and blemishes, this one only slightly lightens them. This formula can also enhance pimple bumps since it is a glowy finish.

The cream is easy to blend into my skin and contour. I actually used the Medium shade for my face and the Deep shade for contouring to test it out, and it made me look like I had a nice, sunkissed tan. The product is very beginner friendly because it doesn’t dry out quickly and is easy to blend the shades out for contouring or bronzing. I’m so excited to use this in the summer.

Sweatproof for Sure

When I tell you I put this BB cream to the test, I meant it! I wore this cream to work out and even tested it underwater, and they definitely stayed in place. The coverage stayed there despite the warm temperatures. The only time the BB cream would go off is when I washed it off with my makeup remover.

Wearing this BB cream was a pleasant surprise during my workouts because it did not turn splotchy from sweating. I usually go hard during my workouts with cardio and weights, and there were no issues. On top of that, my skin did not break out at all! I got compliments on my skin both in and outside of the gym. To know that I can work out with some makeup without it clogging my pores is when you know you have a solid product in your hands.

Would I repurchase?

Hands down yes because I think I have a new makeup essential for my collection. For my first impression of Heimish, I was amazed with their BB cream line. This seems like a great product for the summertime and works for all skin types since it is sensitive skin-friendly and supports a healthy skin barrier for oily and dry skin. A little bit of product gives a decent amount of coverage for pimples, but I would layer more on for blemishes.

Would you try this? So curious to know!
