Assalamualaikum and hi Cloudees!
Lots of people claimed that eye cream is nothing but an expensive moisturizer, but still, I honestly need it as my skin is dry type and using face moisturizer around my eyes stings and sometimes makes my eyes teary). I mentioned how I cannot live with eye cream on my other blog post and Benton Fermentation Eye Cream is on my top 3 list but I never really made a post on this eye cream. So, here we go!
|| ABOUT THE BRAND
Originated in South Korea, this brand is actually inspired from the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" where Benjamin grows younger with time. Benton wishes to 'turn back the time' of its users' skin and they strives to give the high quality, healthy and trustworthy cosmetics with reasonable price and excluding harmful ingredients.
This brand actually pays a lot of attention and work to be a sustainable brand. Their packaging are all recyclable and eco-friendly, they use biodegradable tape and even the ink for the product label is made from healthy soy ink.
And comes the best part.....
Benton products are certified vegan, PETA cruelty free, dermatologically tested and clean beauty. It means that their products do not contains ingredients from animal, does not conduct test on animals (animal cruelty-free), and they use minimal ingredients that are proven to work on your skin!
|| BENTON FERMENTATION EYE CREAM
This eye cream is quite popular and it has been on the market for years. I honestly tried this eye cream as I saw this guy on tiktok who has a very very healthy-looking skin and he always rave about this eye cream and said that it was holy grail (sorry, I forgot his tiktok name TT~TT). I've tried several of items he reviewed and since I agree on most of his reviews, I think there is no harm in giving this eye cream a try.
This eye cream is a hydrating eye cream that brightens and firms the eye area while getting rid of your wrinkles. Its texture is quite thick when squeezed out of the tube, but it feels very light and absorbs really well. Like other eye cream, it can be used anywhere on your face especially at the area with fine lines. It's also perfect for sensitive skin too.
|| INGREDIENTS

Key Ingredients:
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate - enhances skin elasticity
- Bifida Ferment Lysate - for hydration and elasticity
- Ceramide NP - reinforce the skin barrier and prevent trans epidermal water loss
|| TEXTURE & HOW TO USE
The texture is quite thick compared to other eye cream I've tried before, but it does not feel heavy when applied to the skin. I have purchased several tubes of it, and it is safe to say that this is the eye cream that I keep going back to because I really like it.
Here's how my skincare step, up to eye cream:
i. Cleanse
ii. Toner
iii. Essence
iv. Serum
v. Eye cream
 |
| tried to squeeze it & make zig-zag pattern but it's thick & refused to cooperate for the sake of the picture. hahah! |
Apply suitable amount to your fingers and use your ring fnger to dab / massage it to your eye area. I usually squeeze around 1 finger-length, and divide it between my eyes. You can add more or use less according to your preference. I use this every time after cleansing and toner. I literally never skip my eye cream, especially at night and before I apply my makeup.
|| MY REVIEW
My skin type: Dry
Disclaimer: I bought this with my own money thus my reviews are not sponsored, and it is my honest thought.
Pros:
❤ A little product goes a long way
❤ Does not sting my eyes
❤ Really, really hydrating
❤ Absorbs well
❤ Not sticky
❤ Very lightweight
❤ Unscented, no smell detected
❤ Can be used on other areas especially the ones with wrinkles
❤ Reasonable price and last quite long
❤ Squeeze tube - release perfect amount every time
❤ It works!
Cons:
☁ None so far
 |
| expiry date stamped on the tube |
Price and where to grab?
☆ Price: RM89.66 for 30g on their Shopee official but I got mine for RM 48.15 from HERE (worry not, I often get my K-beauty supply here and so far they're all authentic)
☆ It's a really good eye cream and for RM48.15, it really lasts long. I use it to the last drop and since it's in a plastic tube packaging, I usually just cut the tube with scissors when I'm unable to squeeze it anymore. No skincare is wasted here, especially good ones like this!
☆ I personally think that this is the best eye cream I've ever lay my hands on based on 3 factors - its functions, long-lasting, and very affordable.
Till then, thank you for reading!

Assalamualaikum & hello Cloudees!
I have been using my Laneige cushion for quite a while now, so I think it was time for me to grab my hands on new cushion foundation. After making comparison between few cushions, I decided to grab the Clio Kill Cover Mesh Glow since the review is quite tempting, especially for people with dry skin like me.
I initially want the Clio Kill Cover Funwear Cushion because, well, CAT PAWS! That was the CUTEST cushion I've ever seen and the peachy brown color + the transparent packaging is just too pretty (plus, yes, i am obsessed with cats kekeke). But sadly, Clio states that it's best for normal skin and you will be satisfied unless you have extremely dry or extremely oily skin. Ngl, my skin is very dry so I decided to ditch that choice 😿

| Oyen!!! *crying in dry skin* (Oyen actually means orange, and we Malaysian usually call ginger cat as Oyen. It's more of an endearing name for them) |
|| CLIO BRAND
This brand almost needs no introduction as it is well known worldwide. Clio is a brand from South Korea that was founded on 1993, famous for their eye and lip-based products. This brand was the first color makeup brand in South Korea and since it only sells makeup, it's no surprise that this is the first time I ever get my hands on their products. I rarely wear makeup except for foundation and as much as I wanna try their eyeliner and eyeshadow, I'm afraid they're on the pricier side, especially with the movement of KRW and MYR nowadays *cries in currency*.
 |
| What's in the box - 1 mesh glow cushion and 1 refill |
|| CLIO KILL COVER MESH GLOW CUSHION
Unlike other cushion which comes with spongefull of foundation, Clio Mesh Glow Cushion comes with mesh and viscous, creamy foundation underneath. The mesh functions as filters to the foundation so that no clumps picked when applied to your skin, plus it's so soft.
 |
| I refused to take off the sticker on the mirror as the packaging is too precious for me. Bye. |
Using pink as the color of it's packaging, this cushion comes in 3 light shades - 02 Lingerie, 03 Linen and 04 Ginger. It's quite sad that these are the only shades available, and I am just lucky enough that the darkest shade available is my shade. If you used other K-cushions before, 24N code is the same shade as this 04 Ginger.
This cushion also comes in 2 sizes - Mini (5g) and Full size (15g). I usually get my hands on the tester / trial size first but since this brand is quite famous and I found lots convincing of reviews on it, I decided to just go with the full size instead. Aaand, the full-sized ones are on sale so it's cheaper than the mini ones.
|| THE INGREDIENTS
Water, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Titanium Dioxide,Homosalate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenyl Trimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol Dibenzoate, Glycerin, Lauryl PEG-10 Tris (Trimethylsiloxy) silylethyl Dimethicone, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Niacinamide, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Water, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Dimethicone, Cyclohexasiloxane, Magnesium Sulfate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Tribehenin, Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate,1,2 Hexanediol, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Dimethicone/ Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide, Caprylyl Glycol,Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Panthenol, Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract, Tocopherol, Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate,Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid,Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891),Iron Oxide Red, Iron Oxide Yellow, Iron Oxide Black, Fragrance.
|| TEXTURE & HOW TO USE
Exactly as the product claims, the texture of this foundation is very light and only a very thin layer is needed for my skin to look healthy and covered. I actually don't have much blemishes to cover at the first place but my dark circles are horrible. I still need concealer to cover it best, but this cushion covers it quite well for daily use.
With the sponge, tap it gently onto the mesh and apply it on your face. When I say "gently", I mean, really, really, gentle. The mesh is soooo soft and a gentle tap is all you need to get the product on the sponge. You can also swipe the sponge gently on the mesh instead of tapping it, but again, keep in mind to do it gently.
Just like other foundation, use this after your last skincare steps.
|| MY REVIEW
The first thing that comes to my mind when I unbox the foundation is that case is so stunning! I know how it looks like as I've seen it countless times in pictures and videos but it's really pretty and mind you, I'm not even a pink girlie! Even my husband agrees that it's the most beautiful cushion casing he ever saw me have.
I have been using this cushion since end of July, and I bought this with my own money, thus my opinion is my own and not sponsored. My skin is a dry type, so here are my reviews:
Pros:
🍨 Packaging is sleek and stunning
🍨 Lightweight
🍨 A thin layer is all needed for my skin
🍨 Medium coverage but buildable
🍨 Last longer (even better than Laneige Neo cushion, in my opinion)
🍨 Buildable
🍨 Easy to apply
🍨 Not cakey
🍨 Very moisturizing
🍨 Makes my skin glow
🍨 Love the waterdrop-shaped puff as it really makes it easy for me to apply the foundation especially around the eyes
🍨 Very light scent that surprisingly does not bother me
Cons:
🍥 Only comes in 3 shades
🍥 Though I love the shape of the puff, it's still the standard air puff and can't beat Laneige Neo's puff.
Price & where to grab?
Price: RM165.00 for 1 cushion + 1 refill
As usual, get yours during sale and you can save a lot!
You can grab them on Clio official Shopee or Wooh website. I got mine from MJ.Seoul Shopee, and I love their service! (i even got extra puff from them!)
I am looking forward to try more products from Clio so hopefully they have massive sale or MYR currency gets better or perhaps maybe they send me PR package ke kan *laughs in influencer influenza*.
Till then,
Thanks for reading!
