Parnell cushion foundation (about 6:00–7:48)

Creator Take

Tina likes the medium-to-full buildable coverage,

says it did not noticeably oxidize on her and puts it in the top “take my money” tier for her now-dry skin.

The trade-offs are transfer without powder and a cushion that seems to run out quickly.

The exact product is the Parnell Cicamanu Serum Cushion, confirmed against the brand’s current listing; do not substitute the separate Cicamanu Serum In Matte Cushion.

Arencia Holy Hyssop Serum 30 (about 10:05–11:14)

Creator Take

The creator associates this serum with the glow she saw during postpartum-center use and says she would buy it again. She uses only a thin layer,

avoids combining it with several other serums because it can feel sticky and follows with moisturizer because it is not hydrating enough alone.

beplain Mung Bean Cleansing Balm (13:52–15:31)

Creator Take

Tina likes the grinder packaging, fragrance-free sherbet texture, ability to remove waterproof mascara and lack of eye sting. She would repurchase it.

The 50 mL size is the concrete drawback. The neighboring Dr.

Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm is a separate product: it is better framed as a four-out-of-five option for oily/congested skin but weaker on waterproof mascara.

Jung Saem Mool Mool Cream (16:32–18:01)

Creator Take

This runny serum-like “cream” leaves a tacky base that Tina finds useful for foundation grip and a dewy finish.

She applies it selectively and skips the oily nose area.

The separate Light Mool Cream is only suggested as an alternative for oily skin; it is not fully reviewed here.
