Revlon ColorStay Foundation Review..

Okay time to review.. Hahah but pls note that my review is based after using it for ONLY 2 DAYS. =P

So, after 2 days, my review of this fdn is ALL Positive, at least majority of it is.. =D


Shade, Nude. Thought it would be too pinky or dark for me since it is pink-based. But I would say the shade is a pretty good match for me, but not the exact though.. Noticed this morning before applying loose powder that it's a little dark for me.. Probably a little lighter would be more accurate.. Luckily, my LP managed to help me lighten it a little, making it not too bad.. =) 

Oil control is actually real good! When I reached home yesterday, I took a look at myself in the mirror. No shine-ing face, it's almost a full day from 9a.m to 7p.m! Though I'm using other pdts to help control oil as well.. But usually I still end up with some shine on my nose.. 

Coverage-wise, it's awesome as well! Hee.. Usually I will use bb cream as base/concealer before putting on fdn, with this, I can spread a layer and then layer on a little and it is enough to cover my redness and dark spots! Of course under-eye circles not included lar.. Hahahaha.. 

So here's my conclusion/review of the Revlon ColorStay Fdn.

+ Good match after applying LP( Not the best though)
+ Coverage is Medium to Full (layer on and it's Full coverage)
+ Oil control is superb
+ No cakey
+ No touchup needed (I'm a lazy person)
+ Oxidisation is very little


- Bottle design is not user-friendly
- Dries a little faster than normal foundation (Have to spread fast & well)
- Fdn feels a little thick
- Price a little ex (I mean the usual price)
- Limited shades available in Singapore. 


Hmm, that's about all for now. Guess I shall really give Buff/Ivory a try.. *LEMMINGS*

SHILLS Magical Hair Fully Powder

Opened my mailbox and saw my shills inside!

It's actually quite a small bottle, but lucky i bought it off ebay at less than $10.. And it's so cute!

Not sure if it really works not.. Should apply on wet, semi-dry or fully dry hair? Hmm.. k off to google more about it..

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Nude!



I finally got my hands on it!

Lolx.. Have been contemplating whether to get it from online drugstore spree for this fdn in buff.. But is always eye-power only.. So yest, finally i went to JL and bought it at 20% + 10% disc off regular price.. think less than $20? Quite a good deal i would say, minus all the shipping and waiting.. 

Was about to get sand beige, then instead I went to ask whether Nude or Sand Beige is lighter.. SA recommended me Nude, so I took the risk and got Nude! 

Applied this morning, so far so good! I would say the coverage is considered medium to almost full coverage, and the shade match me surprisingly al right(according to my colleague). Seems better than my clinique SuperFit because it's easier to spread.. SF feels drier..

Shall wait till tonight and review more tmr.. Hopefully is a positive 1!

Nature Republic Blusher

Nature Republic Blusher Shine Blossom in #2 (light peachy coral)

My newest purchase in the cosmetics section! Got it the day i went to get my iPhone! It was having a 20% disc, U.P @ $13.90 or $14.90 IIRC.

Actually I got it because I was attracted to the fluffy puff.. *hides*
Cause.. I've never had any blusher with fluffy puff before! Mine are mainly loose pigments or compressed 1 that uses brush to apply.. So this got me just all so tempted, plus it's a new korean brand and with disc! 

hahaha.. ok so here's how it looks like..

Anyone heard of this brand before? It's Nature Republic, a korean brand, but the web is all in korean language, can't understand anything at all.. =(

Avene Loots~

Yes, I bought pdts from Avene yesterday!


Supposedly ALL Avene pdts can be used for sensitive skin, but say if your skin is hypersensitive like how my skin is feeling recently, the above series would be the more ideal 1.

Went cwp with Yus yesterday after work, wanting to get their Anti Shine Lotion. Went in to JL, but the SA there makes me feel she's so bitchy that after asking her a lot of questions, I turned and walked away without buying anything, Hahah.. was feeling mean and evil yesterday.. 

Extremely Gentle Cleanser and the Skin Recovery Cream

Then I went to try Metro, and the SA there is so nice and kind that I got sweet talked into buying the above pdts(bundle of $49) instead of what I wanted initially! Lolx.. But the SA is really *thumbs up*, very polite and patient when explaining all my queries and nicely recommending the pdts to me. She even offered to gave me samples.. (JL SA don't even want to give when I tried to ask) Wanted the Diacneal initially, but SA say don't have so she offered other pdts instead.. So thoughtful right!

Samples: Skin Recovery Cream, Cleanance Anti-Shine Lotion, Cleanance K Skincare, Cleanance Toner

And! I also bought their Avene Thermal Water Spray($20.30 for 2). Lolx, shared the purchase with Yus cause she wanted to get but only needs 1.

Total Damage?? About $70+, but i paid $60 in total cause share Spray purchase.

Feeling Happy yet kinda scared I'll regret my purchase.. Tried the cleanser this morning.. No foam feels so weird.. lolx.. Toner is pretty alright, moisturiser can't really comment yet.. Have to see monitor a few more days i guess..

Silk Naturals - Perfect Harmony Sample Kit

OKay! After days, weeks and months of dragging I finally got around to do a post up on how i use their Perfect Harmony Kit.

Includes:
1 Teaspoon of Ivory
1/2 Teaspoon Of Different Base, Warm Gold, Buttery Gold, Olive and Ebony
10g Jar for mixing
1 Measuring Scoop
1 Flocked Sponge
Sample sachet of finishing powder and a eye colour
Instruction Sheet(Lost somewhere.. Lolx)

I choose Buttery Gold & Ivory.. *Tips: see their website for more description on each different base*

Scoop 1 spoonful of Buttery Gold into the mixing jar..

Then time to add in Ivory..

Depending on your skin tone.. You might want to add 3 or 4 spoonful to mix first to try out, and increase the number of spoonful as you deem fit.. *Tips: Search their forums, lots of advise for different skin tones*

Then start mixing..

You'll see something like that.. *PS, i added about 8 spoonful of Ivory lolx*

End pdt.. *Not the best match as it seems duller than my previous 1.. shall twit the base a little.. hahah..

Anyway I did a comparison between my previous recipe and I think the previous 1 is a closer match..
*Tips: Always remember the number of spoonful and base used!*

So that's how I did my mix for Silk Naturals Foundation~

Pros:
Fun to mix around
Get perfect match(eventually)
Does not cakes up on my face
Medium Coverage
Cheap & Affordable

Cons:
Might not get the perfect match at first try
Not fully matt


Guess I need to order more to play around with different recipes!! Hahah..
