Review: Missha Deluxe Sampler

I recently did a Missha BB Cream review, so now I want to finish up on reviewing what was actually in the Missha Deluxe Sampler.
So here's the sampler again (detailed breakdown of samples and sizes are in a previous post here.)

 

Free Missha Deluxe Sampler includes: Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel 20ml ($4), Perfect BB Deep Cleansing Oil 18ml ($3.40), Luminous Color Lip Gloss SPF10 2.5g (full size! for $6.99), M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 23 10 ml ($6), and BB Boomer 10ml ($6.25). --- Prices are in comparison with the full size product.

This sampler includes very decent sizes of Missha's most popular products. This sampler itself is worth about $27 and it is FREE as long as you pay the shipping and handling fee ($5.99). See details at the end of the post.

So I tested out each of the products in this sampler and I really really love them all. I've already mentioned how much I love the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA++ in No. 23 Natural Beige in the review post.

But here's a detailed breakdown of each sample in order of use:


BB Boomer - The BB Boomer serves as a primer for BB Creams. According to Missha, it has a whitening and wrinkle-repairing capabilities.

• Looks - It has a lightly pink, iridescent hue.
• Texture - It feels like a moisturizing lotion but a bit on the runny side. More like a thicker Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Moisturizer.
• Scent - It has the same fragrance as the M Perfect Cover BB Cream: a lightly sweeten/baby powder scent. (It smells so good, I couldn't stop myself from sniffing it.)
• Other Facts - Made from pink pearl powders.
• What I think - It really does give me a brighter complexion when I first put it on. I'm not sure how long the staying power is because I put on the BB cream right away. I usually just put it around my eyes and my shadows as if it's a highlighter. I don't put it all over my face. I love the texture. Makes it feel like a real moisturizer.

M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 23 - The BB Cream comes in No. 23 Natural Beige. Some think it's hard to distinguish whether it's really a Makeup or Skincare product because it's really supposed to help heal your skin rather than just cover it up.

• Looks - The second darkest of the 3 color tones that Missha has. Comes out the tube looking like a dark beige. See swatch #3 here.
• Texture - Feels like liquid foundation, not too thick, not too runny.
• Scent - A very addicting lightly sweeten/baby powder scent.
• Other Facts - SPF 42!!
• What I think - If you read my review, you can tell that this BB Cream really does blend with any skin tone. It gives a flawless, dewy and natural finish on my skin. It covers up my dark circles and red spots on my T-zone very well. It stayed on for more than 12 hours! Best of all its SPF42, so I don't have to worry about applying sunscreen afterwards. Not sure how well it really is "treating" blemishes yet.

Luminous Color Lip Gloss SPF10 - Cute mini lipgloss with a cell phone strap attachment, so you can literally carry it anywhere.

• Looks - Hot pink color with glitter.
• Texture - Non-sticky creamy lipgloss.
• Scent - Reminds me of bubble gum in a tropical scent.
• Other Facts - Very small, but it's suppose to be a mobile attachment.
• What I think - I didn't like this color when I first saw it, but after I tried to put it on, I fell in love with it! It leaves such a cute baby pink hue with the right about of gloss. It's not sticky at all. Lips just looks very natural. And it has pretty good staying power too. It was still there after a couple of hours. Only problem is, I still don't know what color it is! >.<  So I can't restock. The mobile version is really small and it was a little hard to dip the wand to grab more gloss. Once I find out what color it is, I think I'll get the full size one, though $20 for a lipgloss is a bit pricey. Edit:: The color of this lip gloss is PK06.

Perfect BB Deep Cleansing Oil - Missha cleanser made especially for removing the Perfect Cover BB Creams and other waterproof makeup

• Looks - Very watery, I thought it was a toner at first.
• Texture - Once you start touching it, you'll see that it really is an oil based makeup remover.
• Scent - Reminds me of my anti-bacterial sanitizer.
• Other Facts - Made from plant oil.
• What I think - Haha, at first, I thought I received a bad product, because it's supposed to be an oil, but it was super runny like water. I soaked a cotton pad and used it to remove all the makeup/BB cream that I had on my face. I never liked using makeup removers because they're usually made from an alcohol-based and dries up my skin. But  this leaves my face feeling and looking very oily. It cleaned up my face pretty well. I tried using my Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Foam Cleanser on a cotton pad and cleaning my face one more time and there was no discoloration on the cotton pad!

Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel - Missha's exfoliant scrub for renewal, detoxification and brightening of skin.

• Looks - It's a milky color.
• Texture - Actually feels like jelly.
• Scent - A light cleanser scent, not very fond of it.
• Other Facts - Made from fruits, milk, and green tea extracts!
• What I think - I was actually very reluctant in trying this. I have very sensitive skin and can easily get irritated, so I never use any "peel" facial care products. I gave it a try anyway and it wasn't harsh at all! It felt like a regular cleanser and to my surprise microbeads started forming! I think this is what Missha claims to be the "impurities" on my skin. (Not that I'm saying I have perfect skin with no impurities, but I highly doubt my skin will start forming into beads as I massage this product on my face. THAT'LL actually be VERY SCARY if it is true.) Nevertheless, beads started forming and after I wash my face clean of the product, my skin felt extremely soft (comparable to the results from St. Ives Apricot Scrub). I really liked it and it didn't dry out my face one bit.

Overall, I was HIGHLY satisfied with this sampler set. I'm willing to try out all these products and use them in my regular routine. All except the Peeling Gel, it seems too pricey to achieve the same results as my St. Ives scrub, but I'll continue using the sample and see it's brightening effect. That would be  my decision factor.
