Tonymoly x Mighty Atom 
Product Description: This product contains 51% moisture serum and 20% glacier water to provide skin with intense moisturizing effect. Featuring the use of a tight mesh net that is able to filter the water-like CC fluid evenly. As the collaboration series follows, this Tonymoly x Mighty Atom (Astro Boy) refillable cushion case was available for a limited time.

Not only that, CC products have been all the rave these days for their enhancement properties, this product claims the following skin care benefits: Whitening, UV Protection (SPF50+ PA+++), as well Anti Aging benefits.

How to apply: After your skin care routine, apply an appropriate amount across your face, then gently pat to finish and achieve full absorption.


Personal experience with the product: This product would be best for individuals looking to conceal a fair amount of redness, not a mass amount. Additionally, I can only speak for the blooming mint shade (since that's the only one I've used) which doesn't offer full coverage, since the mint shade is specifically to reduce redness.

From other reviews I've read, even the non-mint shades don't offer much coverage, however it's become evident that this product offers a lot of glow into the skin. 

It does make the skin appear very moist (dewy) and translucent, enhancing the overall skin improvement as if someone had just polished your face. 

Even with my "light brown to near yellow" skin tone that I've been told to have, applying too much of this product can make your face appear very pale. It'll make a very obvious difference in the color of your face and neck too, even if you try to balance the two, you've got your ears which aren't going to match the skin tone.
If you're patient and apply appropriately, this product can offer a vibrant glow to the face without it looking unnatural. 

As well, for the record, this is technically the first makeup product I've ever used in my life and it's not "weird" or "awkward" to put on at all. In fact, anything with extra SPF is worth trying in my opinion, haha. 

Product price: $30.00 USD

Product testing period: 1 year - ongoing

Texture: Moist, tight mesh net, gentle cushion.

Offsetting Ingredients: 
  • Phenoxyethanol (Preservative) commonly found in a lot of products these days, though I try to avoid in products when possible, often I'll still use the product. For a more detailed analysis, click here. The ingredient is classified as low-moderate in the hazardous zone on the link provided. 
  • Talc is a powdered native, hydrous magnesium silicate sometimes containing a small portion of aluminum silicate. Talc can be contaminated with asbestos fibers, posing risks for respiratory toxicity and cancer. For a more detailed analysis, click here
  • Titanium Dioxide is an inorganic compound used in a range of body care products such as sunscreens and makeup. It appears to have low skin penetration but inhalation is a concern, it's a low-moderate in overall hazard, however moderate under 'cancer' under the health ingredient.

Recommend?  No, 2.5/5.

Not a huge fan of the ingredients here, especially with Talc being added into the mix, actually finished about 3/4th of the product but won't be using it any further.
