The Face Shop

Hi guys! So as you know me, I do love loose powders. So here is another product that never fails me every time I use it. I always get this compliment of being blooming whenever I wear this and I thank god so much for discovering it.

What I'm talking about it the Loose powder from the Face Shop Face and It Radiance loose powder.
This is the product that really suits my skin very very well.




They only have 2 colors and this is the lightest shade. The other one is  NB 20



So it comes with this soft puff


Here are the swatches



The shimmer is not over powering. If you take a look at the picture closely you can see that there is some part that sparkled.

Over all thoughts: 10/10

What I like: The smell- smells so good not over powering though.

Gives you a very silky smooth finish and gives you that glow that you want.

Somehow affordable it's 800plus only and I can promise you that you'll wont regret it.

The packaging is unbreakable. I usually drop things because I'm clumsy. The packaging is thick so it wont break just like that...

What I don't like: Nothing

Will you buy this again? YEEEESS!



Skin Food

Hey guys! So today I'm going to review one of my fave blushes of all time. It's the skin food Apple Can Multi Blusher!


This is what it looks like. The packaging is in a steel canister. I like the peachy color but I .would love it more if it's pink.





The bottom looks like this.


































So It has a mirror and it's with a fluffy cute little puff with a ribbon. Which is so cute.




Lol I kinda placed a small bear at the back so that you can have a better view of what it looks like .



This is what it looks like up close.

It's not shimmery much it's like a matte and maybe because the shimmer is so fine it ended up giving you a wonderful finish. I was so in-love with this. One time I forgot my lipstick and because it has 3 shades, I was able to use the darkest shade, I used my clear gloss and and scraped some of middle color and applied it on.

This is what it looks like.


Sorry about the dry lips Whatever I do It always looks dry.. Which kinda makes me really really sad.



This is what it looks like when applied to the cheeks. By the way what you'll see in this picture is my bare face.No moisturizer, no nothing so I apologize for that. I'm a little bit hesitant doing this but anyway here it goes..


Before 

After



So what do you think? Do you like it?

I also did a little experiment, I applied it on my eye like an eye shadow.


The lightest goes on my brow bone the color at the bottom is placed as a wash and the darkest color in the middle was placed in the crease.



Over all thoughts: 10/10

What I like:

The packaging- because it will protect the blush securely without me being worried about the packaging as well.I really do not like it when the packaging gets ugly uurrhh! I also love the fact that it has a mirror inside and the puff that comes with it is high in quality. Some puffs are quite disposable.

The color- Light and simple will surely compliment your cheeks. The 3 colors are versatile can be worn alone or all together.

The smell- Gosh every time I open this can.I smell it sometimes I even go to my makeup kit and open this one and just smell it lol. :)

What  I don't like:

It's expensive for me. I mean it costs 1,200php!! But I guess I just got what I paid for.

So I do hope that this helps. Mwah! Till next time







Skin 79 Star Glow Ball powder


Hi guys! I’m so sorry for not blogging for like several weeks! Well, sometimes I think that nobody even reads what I’m writing so I was thinking about quitting. But well, anyway I would still wanted to do this to give some idea for those people who want to buy certain products. ;) So today the product is about the Star Glow Ball Powder.

Before I buy cosmetics I always search for it's info and reviews. Looking at the pictures that was shown here below made me buy this product, 



I mean i don't even know what skin 79 is.. Korean products always amaze me and I'm such a fan of korean beauty. I love their porcelain skin and those eyes! I just can't resist it I wish my eyes is like that. This made me buy the product the before and after photos. I cant even understand what is says! Lol so from that I have ordered online till I got this baby..



It comes with this soft puff.. 




I love the smell of this, it's not too strong not to light, just perfect. The smell is so feminine. Some sells this for $26 and some sell it for $29.

Here is the swatch. 

Looks like that... 

This product has failed my expectations. When I have placed the powder on my entire face, I felt like a disco ball, seriously. This product is not meant for all over the face, I believe that It's best as a highlighter.

What I like:
The smell, it's a descent smell i like the soft feminine smell
The packaging is cute.
It's in ball form so it does not spill easily
Can be used as a good highlighter

What I don't like:
Not available locally
It does not perform what It should 

Over all: C+ Even though it's not has performed the way it said on the ad and all, I think that it can be still used as a highlighter  so this product is somehow useful.

Shu Eumura

I love loose powders, if there is one thing that I want to collect the most, that would be the loose powders. Today, I'm going to make a review about my Shu Eumura colorless sheer powder.


The packaging is similar to those ordinary loose powders that you can see at department stores.


Side view.


At the bottom.


It comes with a super soft puff. It's the softest puff I ever had..


Unlike other loose powders, instead of holes, this comes with a screen. It may seem to you that the product will shatter when you tap the powder but for some reason when you tap, not all of the product comes out so it's not what you think that it will like run through the screen.

As promised, it'll give you an amazing smooth finish. true enough! At first, It seems very ordinary for me but when I tried it on,... like... WOW.

I would consider buying this again of course. I love this and I'm pretty sure you'll love it too. It's perfect for setting foundation and it's also okay if you use it alone. Once applied you can really have that flawless feeling. Just wow. The only reason I hate about it is the price. $2,900 Rustan's

What I use to keep my skin pimple free and ultra smooth.

 I always wanted to talk about this item that made my face ultra smooth and pimple free. I often get compliments on my skin, now, I'm finally revealing what I have been using since my early teens. It's not expensive, it's not hard to find, You can find this at any drugstore. 





Yes. It's the St. Ives facial scrub. I have first seen this when I was 12 years old ( it's not the actual brightening scrub that was the original apricot scrub) and my mom told me not to use it because my skin is still sensitive it may give me some allergic reactions because this is not suitable for kids (i don't think so maybe she was just saying that) :) , but secretly, it tried a pinch and scrubbed it on my knee I was surprised because it felt so smooth. Then I just told myself I cant wait to be thirteen. Now that I'm a young lady I'm so enjoying this product. I have never felt so confident. From then till now. I'm still using it.  

Oh, by the way, you are probably wondering what I look like. To prove that this product is effective here is a picture of moi. But this product may provide different results but I can say that this is okay for Asian skin too.



Another product that I wanted to talk about since we are talking about st Ives is this:

 

As a makeup lover, a makeup remover is your best friend. I so love makeup and I don't want a hard time in removing it when I'm doing a tutorial. I hate this product. Please do not even buy it. Instead of making your skin makeup free, it made my skin dewy and the makeup remained on my face! I hate it I hate this item so much. Whosoever manufactured it, you are so wasting our money. This is 200 plus by the way, might as well buy a makeup remover for that. I bought this because of the dual purpose "Makeup remover and Facial cleanser" Not. I really wanted to give you guys a heads up with this item and I'm so glad I did.

Hope you enjoyed reading this. Mwah!






Clinique loose powder and liquid foundation

Hi everyone, so today I'll be evaluating Clinique's liquid foundation and it's loose powder.


Starting with the liquid foundation. 




This one is beige.


I just love the packaging of this foundation because it has this very smooth surface that is scratch proof and you are confident that when you accidentally drop this thing, your money wouldn't go to the drain. I love this because even when you sleep wearing it, you'll never break out. Also It gives a smooth silky finish and does not give you this glossy appearance like other makeups. I like it. I'm just sad because it's so not my shade but, it all worked out well anyway. Here's the swatch.

For me, to really enjoy products, you have to make sure that the color suits you, if not, might as well not use it  you'll end up being unattractive instead of being beautiful. Makeup is all about technique, no matter how expensive makeup is but if you don't know how to use it, that would be useless.


Moving on to the finishing powder, I got this one from mom, as you can see, the packaging is already ugly. The packaging can be easily damaged and scratched, to be honest, I like "the face shop's" translucent powder case more.



I have been using this and it's also one of my fave because it's very lightweight almost like nothing but yet this product can still manage your expectations. As I have mentioned, it was light weight but it gives you that coverage that you want. It blends well on your skin, almost like it's melting on your skin to be like your original skin.


It has 20 holes in it which I like because I really don't like loose powders that scatters all over the place. Some loose powders have holes mostly in all places. When I use loose powders, I throw the sponge applicator right away or give it away. I do not like the sponge to stay inside the loose powder even if it has a barrier most especially when used, it will just contaminate the whole product because of the holes, so that is why I often separate them. For me, makeup expires depending on how you take care of it.



Wonderful finish right? :)

I hope you enjoyed reading this. MWah!

Something about Clinique


Clinique is one of the best selling products that has ever been. When I was little, I often see it from my mom and grandma, when I stepped into high school mom would give me some samples for me to try. Here, I'm going to show you why Clinique is one of my personal favorite brands. Since I can afford them now, there is no stopping me to buy some full sized items and that will be my project for this year. After all of these products are empty, I'll buy full sized of them, I know that would be too costly but taking care of your skin should be an investment, it's for you anyway. For vain people like me, this is my drink, it satisfies me much.


I'm staring my discussion by showing you this very great makeup remover, I love makeup so much that I need a great companion in removing them to keep my skin free from makeup before I go to bed. Makeup when worn overnight can make your  skin ugly, we all know that. In my makeup tutorial, which I'll be filming soon, I'll show you how great this product is. It does not sting the eyes, I can even use them on my lids!!! I use it on my lips as well. It's very gentle yet very effective.  


Moving on to the clarifying lotion, my first impression is just another type of toner. The smell is like an alcohol like.. but not much and for me this is a great item that I would definitely buy again. I have washed my face and used the toner and to my surprise, to think that the facial wash has scrubs already ( I used st. Ives). I felt clean after that but not thoroughly after all.




Finding a great facial wash is a must because you use it everyday, for me, you face is your investment. I like this facial wash because it's mild and effective. It's like a very dewy consistency but after you wash your face, you'll feel how clean your face is. I like that part.




For me, this is an A++ product.


I love this one because the scrub does not hurt at all, 




The sparkles are the scrubs. For me, this cleans your face, similar on the foam wash above. If you want little strong scrubbing power might as well use this one, the scrub beads are so fine.



Moving on to the liquid facial soap, If you wanted to have that silky feeling when you are washing your face, you may want to try this one. It does not dry skin and cleans smoothly. I love it when it bubbles on my face with light gentle stokes. It just looks like this clear gel. For me, you can buy any facial wash because the cleaning power is almost the same. Might as well buy a clean and clear facial wash. It's less expensive that this one but gives you the same result.


This next product is one of my personal fave, This is the Super City block tinted moisturizer. 


I has this beige color but when you spread it, the color adjusts itself. You can feel that your skin had a drink and gives you this matte skin finish, when the whole tube is done, Ill buy this one again. If im not in the mood of doing any makeup, I would rather use this as a substitute for a foundation because foundations usually make my face feel heavy.




I'm running out of this world famous moisturizer called dramatically different moisturizing lotion. As you can see it's my fave as well and the reason is because it does it's job at it's best. The only thing that I dont like about this is that it makes your face like super wet when you apply it and it takes some time for it to dry.
 

Might as well use it over night because when I use this in the morning when I go out the dirt sticks on my face. Yuck. I really hate it when that happens. This is a perfect base when you are about to apply makeup. This will serve as a protection.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Mwah!
