Loreal True Match Liquid Foundation Review

My Mother-in-Law got me this one from the US. I've always been wanting to try this one out but didnt get around to. She got me the Sun Beige shade because I want to sport a tan look. I'm not a fan of face tanners so I decided to get 3-4 shades darker than my skin tone.

As for the Pros:
- Formulation is ok, its blendable and buildable
- SPF 17
- It feels light
- Wide range of shades

As for the Cons:
- Not long wearing
- Oil Control is ok, I still need to blot a lot

This product is still worth checking out because it still gave me my most natural tan face look. I think the huge drawback for this is that its way over price here in the Philippines. I think this retails around P1k up + in the market. I don't think I'll shell that kind of money for a drugstore brand. Luckily I got mine for free ;-)

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation Review

This liquid foundation is amazing! After watching You Tube videos and reading reviews about this I finally got mine in Sand Beige Shade for Combination/Oily Skin. This is by far the best foundations I've ever tried. This is truly long-wearing, doesn't melt, doesn't cake, doesn't wear off. It offers great coverage, the formulation is blendable and buildable and offers flawless finish. The oil control is good, and contains SPF. No break out so far. The best part about this is that its comparable to high end brands minus the price. What more can a girl ask for?

As for the cons, the packaging would have been better if they built it up with a pump. Another thing about this foundation is that the liquid dries fast so you have to work fast. The trick, however is to apply it sparingly, use a brush, sponge, or whatever your comfortable with and work fast. Do it by parts, like half of your face first then proceed with the other half. Its always better to work thinly and build it up. Remember to moisturize first before putting this on so you'll get smoother application.

Overall, I highly recommend this foundation. This retails around $12-14 USD. It's available in two formulation; one for normal/dry skin and the other is for combination/oily skin. Available in wide variety of shades. Its best to to test it out in the counters to get the exact shade you want.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Review

Advantages:

-Affordable

-Light to medium coverage

-Suitable to combination or oily skin

-Blendable and Buildable

Disadvantages:

-Don't deliver the same result if you have dry skin

-Heavy glass pot container not convenient to carry around

I've been using this for quiet some time now. I'm bought the true beige shade. I'm loving this so far because it’s affordable and serves me well. It's buildable, blendable, and the best part of this item is the flawless matte effect. I usually use this during hot, humid days. I'm using a wedge sponge for application or sometimes my fingers when I'm feeling lazy :-). Then I finish this off by dusting my T-zone area only. It retails around P400+ up (something) at leading department stores. This product is worth checking out.

Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF 20 PA+ Review

After reading tons of reviews of BB creams I finally indulge myself in getting one. I got mine in Shade No. 1 a yellow-ish base.

First of all I really adore this product. One of my HG. Now let me start with the Pros :

- I Love the glowy-dewy finish
- It has SPF so I can skip my SPF routine, "time saver"
- I can skip my concealer because it offers a bit concealing (since I got minor cover ups)
- It's light coverage but it's buildable
- Love the Aloe scent
- Oil control is pretty decent
- No pale white cast

as for the Cons:

- The consistency is a bit thick but its blendable; nothing major ops
- Limited shade range ; 2 shades only
- Retail Price in Skin Food store is Major Downside; retails around P1300+ peso something
(but try checking out on eBay or private seller on multiply)

As for repurchasing, definitely yes...

Fanny Serrano Cake Foundation Review

I’ve been looking for high quality and affordable foundation and I stumble upon this one at Watson’s. I was a bit skeptical at first because the packaging is bulky and the printing at the back was poorly done like a makeup from china look-a-like. But when I tried it on..."wow"! I was amazed by the quality. It’s not heavy and it doesn’t smell funny. There are only 4 shades available and I got mine in Mocha. This foundation sells at around P300.00 + something, very affordable for a high pigment foundation.This foundation is available at Watson’s or check out your cosmetic department store since this line of cosmetics is not widely available.

I like to use the dry application for this foundation. Using my kabuki brush, I try to stifle this thinly to my face and then buff. Then I'm slowly building it up according to my liking. I’m using the technique for mineral foundation application. Don’t forget to moisturize first to make the application go smoothly and make the foundation last longer. As for the oil control, its not that superb, but what the heck for the price I could not complain much.

If you want a heavier coverage, you can do the wet application. You can wet the sponge provided in the compact or use any makeup sponge you like. Use a light hand and start thinly, then slowly build up according to the desired coverage you want. Then voila! You’re done!

MakeUP InSights still recommends this product and will definitely buy again when it runs out.
