Kiehl's Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Review: Skin Care Skin Care - Pores Concern

Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector: Latest breakthrough in skin care technology that gives imperfection skin a soft focus effect

You know how most girls (and guys) are into editing their photos with all the beautifying effects using photo editing software or apps? Have you ever notice why your friends photo are blurry with soft focus-like effect? The secret is adding soft focus effect by blurring skin imperfection.

Kiehl’s recently came out with a brand new product – Micro-Blur Skin Imperfector and boy I was over the moon with this one. I don’t normally use a new product on my face without doing some research prior. However the product name itself hit me on the right spot and I find myself using the product within the next five minutes of receiving the parcel 🙂

I notice that pores is number 1 first world issue for most women, regardless if they have smooth skin or they have orange-like skin. Women just like to complain about their “large” pores. I have annoying friends with porcelain smooth flawless skin who is forever looking for a product to shrink their pores. Read between the line – porcelain smooth flawless skin. Whenever these girls start to complain about their pores (which doesn’t even exist on them), my inner self starts to shrink and I always see myself shrinking to a mouse size, you know…just like the movie Alice In Wonderland? I felt exactly like that. My statement is supported by research done by Kiehl’s whereas the finding proves that pores are a key skin issue for women regardless of age GLOBALLY.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Mist & Fix With O2 Skin Complex: Sets & smooth out makeup, reduce sebum secretion and prevent makeup meltdown

Makeup setting spray. Hmmm. I never have any good experience nor have I encounter any that is good. After the last makeup setting spray that claimed to have oil control properties but failed, I don’t go hunt for others anymore. I thought even the highly raved Urban Decay De-Slick failed on me, what else would work right? Now, that was before I tried MAKE UP FOR EVER Mist & Fix With O2 Skin Complex.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Mist & Fix 2_5
This new Mist & Fix With O2 Skin Complex was globally launched just this Thursday 15th May 😀 . A few days ago I also talked briefly about the NEW Mist & Fix With O2 Skin Complex that is replacing the existing Mist & Fix. If you are already a Mist & Fix user and fan, fret not. The formula remains the same and it still function the same, except that MAKE UP FOR EVER infused it with extra moisturizing benefits. Mist & Fix O2 Skin Complex functions by sealing all the makeup and improves the holding powder, while providing moisture to the skin. This makeup setting spray is alcohol-free with a total flawless holding power and gives the skin a glowing complexion while giving the skin a moisturized feel to it.

ELF Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15: Something not meant for oily skin

Many many years ago I started off my journey into makeup by getting Korean and American brands by joining online sprees. My repeat order has always been Missha and ELF. ELF was my favourite because of the price. It is US$1 per item for the basic line, which is known as Essential line now. Most spree cost about RM6 per item, a bit high after conversation but hey, the seller got to earn a bit too for organizing the spree right? 🙂 . So I was more than happy to pay RM6 per ELF item.

One particular item that I ordered the most is ELF Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. I have no idea what Tinted Moisturizer is at that time. It looks like a foundation but I remember hating it very much because the coverage was so sheer that none of my acne marks were covered. Not even a tiny bit. I ended up giving away most of it to my friends, who I’m sure doesn’t know a clue what to do with it too lol.

While I was browsing for stuffs to order on iHerb, I stumbled upon this ELF Tinted Moisturizer again. So I started googling and I found out that this best-seller product is actually discontinued and was replaced with ELF Studio Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20. So I order one ELF Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 #Apricot Beige from iHerb for USD$1.99. Initially I wanted to order three but since I can’t remember much about it, I only order one. Plus iHerb only have one shade. I suppose this is the leftover stock after the product was discontinued.

NEW! Estée Lauder Double Wear Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter: Conceal, brighten and highlight in one go!

I mentioned before last week that Estée Lauder Malaysia is having a busy April because they are launching three new makeup and skin care product range altogether. I have introduced to you the NEW Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick last week, which I’m currently head over heels in love with. I’m not saying that because they sent me a lipstick. I’m saying that because it is in fact the best lipstick formula at the moment. Just read all the positive reviews online and you’ll understand why 😀 . Even better if you tried it on your lips over Estée Lauder counter.

Today, I’m going to introduce you to another new makeup launch from Double Wear range. Estée Lauder Double Wear Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter is the second new launch product that caught my attention almost immediately because it is similar to Ideal Light Brush-On Illuminator that I’m currently using. We’ll get to that soon.

Estée Lauder’s best long wearing liquid foundation by far is still Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup. It is great for oily skin like mine and I believe if you have used this foundation before you will agree with me. The brand do take Double Wear’s iconic perfecting and long-wear benefits seriously so they have created and came up with two new makeup product by coupling them with new instant radiance and skin care ingredients – NEW Double Wear All-Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup SPF 30 +++ and NEW Double Wear Brush-On-Glow BB Highlighter.

Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base: A makeup base that I would not recommend for oily skin

I bought a bottle of Burberry Fresh Glow one year ago but I never get around to review it mainly because I can’t seems to put my thoughts on it. I generally like makeup base and I thought I will like this one from Burberry too. Makeup base rarely will go wrong. Unless you have an oily skin and you got yourself a luminous type, like this one which I’m going to talk about today.

Burberry Fresh Glow doesn’t come cheap. It is priced at RM165 for a bottle of 30ml. A little does goes a long way for this luminous fluid base so when you prolonged the life span, it does seems to be at a reasonable price.

Maybelline Pure.Liquid Mineral Healthy Natural Liquid Foundation SPF18 PA+++: My current foundation acquisition and love

Ever since I started to use liquid foundation last year, I couldn’t stop thinking about buying more. When a brand launched a new season collection makeup, I used to look at blush first. Now I look at foundation. Last time I can never understand why anyone would keep buying foundation one by another. I can understand why now that I’m a part of it. It’s crazy!

My latest drugstore brand liquid foundation acquisition is none other than Maybelline Pure.Liquid Mineral Healthy Natural Liquid Foundation SPF18 PA+++.

Maybelline Pure.Liquid Mineral Healthy Natural Liquid Foundation 1
I’ve always wanted to go L’Oreal Group warehouse sales but each time they organise one, it’s either too far or I’m too busy. This time around they had it at a place where I deemed as “far”, nonetheless I dragged my mum along and drove all the way there on a Sunday afternoon. I was there to look for Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer but unfortunately there was none. In fact there was no concealer sighted. All the makeup products there are kinda “old” and these old and dirty packaging is such a turn off. I look around L’Oreal True Match foundation and suddenly the BA came over to help me, which I appreciate because I was lost in the sea of L’Oreal foundations. They had so many types! I ask about Maybelline Pure.Liquid Mineral Healthy Natural Liquid Foundation and she said that’s more drying. With lightning immediate speed I dropped everything and concentrate on that instead because I do have oily skin and dry foundation is my thing.
