Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF 25 PA++

0
COM

Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream is said to give an even, natural-looking finish. It's non-chemical, paraben-free, mineral oil-free, alcohol-free, Triclosan, GMO and Benzophenone - free.


The packaging is really nice. It's a tube with pump enclosed in a hard plastic case. The packaging makes it look expensive as it really is.


This is shade #23 or Natural Yellow Beige. Like the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream that I have tried before, this is also too moisturizing for me. I don't think it's suitable for those with oily skin like me. 

It's easy to blend and coverage is very good.

I had my mom use this and she likes it because it doesn't set into her wrinkles. It's also provides the hydration she needs for her skin.

Banana Boat Sport Performance Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30

I don't really buy sports suncreen most of the time but I was able to try a sample of this and liked it. 


This sunscreen isn't too thick. I like that it doesn't leave a white cast on my arms and legs because it's easy to spread. Sun protection for SPF 30 is good, but I'm not someone who sun burns quickly. I don't actually use this when playing under the sun. I use this for everyday use only.

It's a tad bit greasy when applied on. It doesn't have a strong scent to it which I like.

Equate Eye Makeup Remover

This Equate Makeup Remover is a dupe of the L'Oreal Eye Makeup Remover.

This makeup remover doesn't contain oil so it's perfect to use as an eraser when I mess up my eye makeup (especially when drawing a winged liner).

It doesn't easily remove my mascara. I still prefer using an oil base eye makeup remover when i want to completely remove all my eye makeup.

Dermal Vitamin Collagen Essence Mask

I just used this Dermal Vitamin Collagen Essence Mask before typing this entry. This is a sheet mask that you cover your entire face with.

The mask is very moist with the essence. I carefully fit it properly on my face. The holes for the eyes, nose and mouth are exact so it's easy to use.

It has a pleasant smell that isn't strong or perfume-y. It feels cool on so I just closed my eyes and relaxed while my face soak up all the moisture.

Instructions say not to rinse out the essence after you remove the mask. When dried, the essence feels sticky on my face which is annoying.

I feel like my face is a bit more hydrated and glowy after using this mask.

This is one of the items I got from my Ipsy November 2013 Glam Bag.


I don't really use bronzers. What I like about this one is that the shade isn't too brown.


Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash

Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash is a foaming cleanser with 1% salicylic acid. It contains raspberry and cranberry extracts. It has a fresh berry scent to it.

I like that this cleanser cleanses well. It washes away dirt and oil really well without leaving my skin dry.

It foams up really well, which what I like in a cleanser. Whether I use this with a Clarisonic or just my hands, I can feel that my face feels really clean and tight (in a good way).

L'Oreal Revitalift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer

COM

This is my third jar of L'Oreal Revitalift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer.


The moisturizer is said to address wrinkles, re-firm contours and replenish facial volume. Powered by Pro-Xylene™, a patented L'Oreal ingredient that is shown to stimulate collagen production. It is also formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to quickly penetrate skin to help fight each wrinkle.


The moisturizer is thick and creamy.


What I like about this moisturizer is that even though it's cream is thick, it gets quickly absorbed into my skin. It leaves a soft velvety finish so it isn't greasy on the face. Since I have oily skin, I only apply a small amount, around half a pea-size.

It doesn't cause me to break out. It does an excellent job in hydrating my skin.

Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon in Hot Damn

COM


I was thinking about buying a red lipstick shade. Lucky for me, this came with my Ipsy November 2013 Glam Bag.


Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon in Hot Damn is a bright red shade. 


The lip crayon has a smooth texture. The shade is a bright matte red. 


For this photo, I build the color byusing a lot of it to make my lips really red for my swatch photo. But, as what they said on their website, you can either go bold or sheer with this lip crayon. Apply a lot to go bold or apply only on your lower lip and blot lips together for a sheer effect.

The lip crayon is retractable so no need to sharpen it.
