Benefit Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Sampar Talika

Top 3 Primer That Are Good As Perfector, Just As Good On It’s Own

Sooooo, besides feeling demotivated and falling off the blogging bandwagon a little bit…I’ve been rather adventurous too. The adventurous bug bite me when I was too fed up with having oil secretion on my face before mid of the day. That’s the downside of having oily skin 🙁 I started going through all my base products, digging them out from every corner of my room. I have this crazy idea of using primer over liquid foundation, before finishing powder for a better oil control. However not all makeup base / primer works. It must be something that is able to matte the surface after application. Here is my Top 3 pick of primer that works well as perfector :D. Let’s start from bottom.

BB Cream Laneige Make Up - Face Review: Make Up

Review: Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion SPF 50+ PA+++ (No. 21 Natural Beige), The New Way of Applying BB Cream

My Facebook timelines had been flooded with reviews on Etude House’s version of Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion recently and I thought why not I do the other way round? I have taken pictures of this Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion since a few months ago but didn’t come around to post up a review. I have no idea why :D. Since I’m on BB Cream and CC Cream chronology lately, I thought it’s a good timing for me to share with you my thought on this product.

How I buy this BB Cushion (that’s how I’m going to call it) is quite spontaneous. It was when Laneige relaunch the product back in May 2013 and there is a Facebook offer for this for RM120 that comes with a refill pack. Coincidently I needed to utilize my Bonuslink points as they are expiring so I redeemed RM100 worth of Parkson cash voucher, drove to Setia Alam mall and bought one!

In the box there is a white casing, a refill that is pre-attached to the casing and a sealed refill pack. The retail price for all this is RM145. Each BB Cushion contain 15g of product. You get an extra refill so which means for RM145 you get a 30g of product. That equivalent to a normal BB Cream tube 😀

Review: Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder #Matte Beige Ochre – Ideal Skin Color Match, Brighten & Gives Flawless Finishing

For the past 10 years, I have been using 2-way foundation powder. It was good enough for me that time but later on I find that the foundation slipped off by evening. By then you can see all the acne marks on my face oppss! Not a good sight I would say :D. Later on I was on Skin79 BB Cream for a brief while before I ditch it and went back to the trusty 2-way foundation. And of course after I started all this beauty craze I discovered that I kinda like liquid foundation and has been on it since :D. I have this cakey foundation issue which I’ll talk about that another time. Long story short, while I was testing out various base makeup to prevent cakey foundation…I took out this pretty Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder #Matte Beige Ochre from my stash to use. I never look back since 😀

Before I start this review, let me update you a bit on my current skin condition. I think my skin has reached it’s optimal stage whereas I no longer can layer too much skin care and I also apply lesser base makeup (liquid foundation & powder) nowadays. Acne marks on my face is also less visible so I no longer apply concealer too 🙂

Make Up - Face MISSHA Review: Make Up

Review: MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream SPF 42 PA+++, The World’s Best Seller BB Cream That Give Full Coverage and Excellent Oil Control

Anyone notice that for a brief while we have MISSHA in Malaysia but later on closed down outlet by outlet? That was a few years ago. Boy how time flies. Before I even knew the existence of MISSHA in Malaysia, I have been buying MISSHA online from a seller. This seller is an air stewardess that flew to Korea very often. At that time I only bought MISSHA skin care from her. Never cosmetics. I wasn’t into cosmetic at that time. Seller was very generous with samples even if I only bought one bottle of emulsion. I remember that I accumulated a few M Perfect Cover B.B Cream sachet from numerous purchase. This M Perfect Cover B.B Cream was also my very first encounter with BB Cream and I love it. I never have the chance to purchase a full size because she increased her price, postage and eventually slow down with her selling activities. So when I was offered a M Perfect Cover B.B Cream for review, I jumped right in.

So girls, meet my first BB Cream love – MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream SPF 42 PA+++.

MISSHA1
MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream SPF 42 PA+++ comes in two shades – No. 21 Light Beige and No. 23 Natural Beige. I can’t remember which sample I tried before so I decided to choose No. 21 as most BB Cream and foundation turns 2 shades darker on me as my face gets oily. It’s easier for me to tone down the BB Cream light cast than lightening up darker shade face 😀

Make Up - Face Mary Kay Review: Make Up

Review: Fashion, Color and Luminous Skin Come Together In An Entirely New Dimension with Mary Kay Sheer Dimensions Powder #Pearls

Many oily skin girl would dodge anything that can make them look oily. Not me. Despite having oily skin, I am a big fan of illuminating products and I do not hesitate to apply daily. Things that a girl will do to look pretty eh?

I have introduced a few illuminating finishing powder before. My love for these powder grew more and more especially when this Mary Kay Sheer Dimensions Powder #Pearls came through the mail.

Sheer Dimensions Powder provides a flawless, high-definition finish. I personally think that the word “dimension” within its name really does give the face that dimensional look. I’ll show you later.

Part 2 Review: Guerlain Blanc de Perle Smoothing UV Base Smoothes and Blurs Imperfection

If you recall a few months ago that I bought a Correcting UV Base and I said Smoothing UV Base would be in my wish list since I have large pores. No kidding. This year you will see four different UV bases in Blanc de Perle range namely UV Shield, Lightening UV Base, Smoothing UV Base and Correcting UV Base. This fluid transparent formula provides an invisibly new perfection to every skin tone. As the name suggest it smoothes over the smallest blemish while covers and reducing the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles, fine lines and signs of fatigue.

The packaging of the Smoothing UV Base is nothing to shout about besides the shiny silver screw cap, which I constantly dropped it to the floor as the screw part is too smooth. Nah, I’m just clumsy. I bet you knew that. It came in a squeeze tube that is easily controllable. Normally I would just squeeze some amount onto the back of my hand, smooth over my face and add more when necessary. This way I can prevent wastage because you just couldn’t un-squeeze the excess from the back of your hand back to the tube isn’t it? So I have no problem with the tube so far.
