Marina Smooth & Glow UV BB Cream, Two Way Cake & Compact Powder [review]

Hello everyone~ I believe this brand doesn't need introduction anymore. I don't remember since when me and my sisters used their products for the first time, probably since I was in elementary school ^_^ My sisters used to repurchase their hand & body lotions, and that's how I knew Marina for the first time. You may say that Marina is one of famous local cosmetic brands in Indonesia. Not only teenagers, adults like us also love Marina ;)

Halo semua~ Aku rasa merek yang satu ini udah ngga perlu perkenalan panjang lebar kali yaa.. Aku ngga inget sih kapan pertama kalinya aku dan sodara-sodara perempuanku menggunakan produk Marina, mungkin sejak aku masih di bangku sekolah dasar ^_^ Kakak-kakak perempuanku sering beli hand & body lotion mereka, dan itulah alasan kenapa aku kenal dengan merek Marina ini. Bisa dibilang Marina adalah satu dari sekian merek kosmetik lokal terkenal di Indonesia. Ngga hanya remaja aja yang suka, orang dewasa seperti kita pun juga suka sama Marina ;)

Good news for you! Recently Marina released their new cosmetic line named Smooth & Glow UV 
Marina Smooth & Glow UV series is consist of BB Cream, Two Way Cake, Compact Powder & Powdery Foundation. Due to my curiosity, I immediately bought 3 of them; BB Cream, Two Way Cake & Compact Powder :) Unfortunately I couldn't find the Powdery Foundation; maybe the distribution is still limited.

Marina Smooth & Glow UV is enriched with:
SPF 20 PA++ to help protect skin from harmful UVA and UVB sunrays. To protect skin from UVB that can burn the skin and UVA that can darken your complexion
Lemon extract to make skin look brighter and helps to diminish blemishes.
Mulberry extract as moisturizer to help nourish skin and make complexion stay soft and bright without looking greasy.
Kabar baik nih buat kalian! Baru-baru ini Marina merilis seri kosmetik baru yang bernama Smooth & Glow UV 
Seri Marina Smooth & Glow UV ini terdiri dari BB Cream, Two Way Cake, Compact Powder & Powdery Foundation. Karena penasaran, aku langsung borong 3 dari 4 produk ini; yaitu BB Cream, Two Way Cake & Compact Powder :) Sayangnya aku ngga nemu Powdery Foundation nya, mungkin distribusinya masih terbatas kali yaa..

Marina Smooth & Glow UV dilengkapi dengan:
SPF 20PA++ untuk melindungi kulit wajah dari bahaya sinar UVA dan UVB. Perlindungan terhadap UVB yang melindungi wajah terbakar akibat paparan sinar matahari dan perlindungan terhadap UVA yang membantu menghambat penggelapan kulit wajah.
Kandungan lemon untuk mencerahkan kulit wajah sehingga tampak lebih putih dan menyamarkan noda.
Kandungan mulberry berfungsi sebagai pelembab (moisturizer) yang menutrisi kulit wajah agar tetap lembut dan bercahaya namun tidak nampak berminyak.

I bought mine in NATURAL shade. Actually I wanted to buy Ivory, because I'm afraid Natural will be darker than my real skin tone.
Shade yang kubeli adalah warna NATURAL. Sebenarnya aku ingin beli yang ivory sih, soalnya aku takut Natural bakal kegelapan (ceileh, kegelapan :v) di kulitku.

This BB cream has semi-matte finish and could lasts for around 4 hours without face primer and 5 hours with face primer underneath. So far it doesn't break out my skin and gladly the BB cream shade (in Natural) could adjust to my real skin tone ^_^ So happy with the result!

Hasil dari BB Cream ini adalah semi-matte, bisa tahan sekitar 4 jam tanpa face primer dan 5 jam dengan face primer. Sejauh ini BB cream ini ngga bikin mukaku bruntusan dan untunglah shade Natural bisa menyesuaikan dengan warna kulit asliku ^_^ Selain itu harganya juga murah, dan mudah ditemukan di toko kosmetik terdekat.

Texture & Scent
Its natural microfine powder makes the result looks nice, not cakey or patchy. This Two Way Cake is also lightweight and ideal for everyday basis. For its scent, it smells nice if I sniff the pan directly, but once I apply it onto my face, it smells like old-style loose powder :P LOL. The scent will lingers around several minutes until it's gone.

Natural microfine powdernya membuat hasilnya keliatan cakep, ngga cakey atau ngeblok-ngeblok gitu. Two way cake ini juga ringan dan bisa dipake untuk sehari-hari. Untuk baunya sih... tercium aroma wangi kalau aku mencium aromanya langsung dari produknya, tapi begitu aku aplikasikan ke wajah, wanginya jadi kayak bedak jadul gitu :P hahaha. Wanginya akan terus tercium beberapa menit setelah diaplikasikan.

I chose PEACH shade because there's no other variants in Hypermart at that moment. XD I wonder why I only could found this compact powder in that store. Later on, I finally found the others in Carrefour.

Aku memilih warna PEACH karena kebetulan ngga tersedia varian lain di Hypermart pada saat itu XD Aku bertanya-tanya kenapa cuma ada compact powdernya doang? Tapi akhirnya aku berhasil nemu yang lain di Carrefour.

Berasa aneh gitu beli 3 produk tapi shadenya beda-beda :P haha. Tapi nanti di akhir post kalian akan bisa melihat penggunaan kombinasi dari ketiganya kok ^_^ Jadi keep reading~

Texture & Scent
The compact powder has lightest texture of them. It can be a good option to set makeup and touch up too ^_^ Recently, I love to use this compact powder as replacement for my bulky loose powder, because this compact powder can fits into my makeup pouch. It smells little bit like old-style loose powder as well, but much lighter than the two way cake.

Bedak padat ini punya tekstur yang paling ringan dibanding semuanya. Bisa jadi opsi yang bagus untuk set makeup dan touch up juga ^_^ Akhir-akhir ini aku suka pake compact powder ini sebagai pengganti loose powderku yang packagingnya gendut dan ngga muat di makeup pouch. Wanginya mirip kayak Two Way Cake (wangi bedak jadul gituuu), tapi lebih ringan dari Two Way Cake.

Performance
This compact powder never can be used alone, because it has bad staying power IMHO. It can only lasts for around 2 hours on my normal-combination skin. I recommend you to use this compact powder after BB cream / foundation / two way cake application :)

Bedak padat ini ngga boleh dipake sendirian, karena daya tahannya buruk kalo menurutku. Bedak ini cuma bisa tahan sekitar 2 jam di kulit ku yang normal-kombinasi ini. Aku lebih merekomendasikan kalian untuk pake bedak ini setelah aplikasi BB cream / foundation / two way cake :)


Pros (+)
+ Already contains SPF 20 PA+++
+ Available in 3 shades
+ Very cheap!!
+ Smooth & lighweight

Cons (-)
- The puff is little bit too small
- Bad staying power if used as single-use

What if I use these 3 products together?
Bagaimana ya kalau aku pake 3 produk (dengan shade yang berbeda) ini sekaligus?

I didn't Photoshop my skin at all. These products are able to conceal my dark circles well!
Details
1. Totally bare face, HAHA. FYI my skin isn't in best condition T_T
2. After applied Marina Smooth & Glow UV BB Cream
3. Mattify skin with Marina Smooth & Glow UV Two Way Cake
4. Last step, finish it with Marina Smooth & Glow UV Compact Powder

Keterangan
1. Beneran muka kucel, tanpa makeup, pas muka lagi ngga oke pula T_T
2. Setelah mengaplikasikan Marina Smooth & Glow UV BB Cream
3. Aplikasikan with Marina Smooth & Glow UV Two Way Cake agar tampak matte
4. Langkah terakhir, akhiri dengan Marina Smooth & Glow UV Compact Powder


Look at my nose and forehead.. still shine-free!
PS: Sorry for different lighting! These photos were taken at different places

To my surprise, I didn't expect that combination of these 3 products would lasted that long! I was surprise when my face still looked matte after 8 HOURS, WITHOUT touch-up at all O__O Well, during that time, I stayed mostly indoor with AC (in cafe & mall, I mean), but also sweated a little when one of their AC didn't work properly. Compared when I use these products individually, they're best when used together!
Overall, I'm totally impressed with the result 


Lihat deh foto before-after diatas, di hidung dan dahi ku.. masih keliatan matte tanpa minyak :O :O Aku pake seharian dan baru sadar setelah 8 JAM ternyata hasilnya masih matte lhooo.. Ga nyangka 3 kombinasi produk ini bisa bertahan selama itu, meski tanpa touch up! O__O Selama durasi itu aku sebagian besar ada di ruangan ber AC sih (di cafe & mall), tapi aku juga sempet berkeringat dikit karena ada AC yang lagi ngga bekerja dengan baik. Dibandingkan kalau produk ini digunakan sendiri-sendiri, ternyata hasilnya jauh lebih oke kalau digunakan bareng-bareng. Secara keseluruhan, aku terkesan dengan hasilnya 




Produk Marina Smooth & Glow UV bisa dibeli / didapatkan di:
Carrefour, Giant, Hypermart, Lottemart, Naga, Tip Top, & toko kosmetik lainnya.
