Face Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream in Fresh


Hi Everyone!

I’m the roll these weeks to do reviews especially on the products I have been using for month now.  Besides doing the Project Hit Pan for more than a year now, I have loved each product inside my make-up bag.  Of course, most of my face products are not inside my bag because I just use them in the morning before going to office.  I just left them inside the car.

Today I will showcase one of the most repurchase items for me.  I know BB cream is not the newest product out but this is a good alternative for liquid foundation for an everyday use.  For me, liquid foundation is nice to use it on big occasions like parties, weddings, etc.
 
PRODUCT INFO:
Brand:  Maybelline
Name:  Clear Smooth 8-in-1 Skin Transformer BB Cream in Fresh
Net Wt:  18ml
Price:   Php259.75
Where to Buy:  SM Department/Grocery Store, PCX Stores


It has the usual packaging for Maybelline, it has a separate container with the product description.  It has 8 benefits:
  • Moisturizes – Oil-free formula keeps skin hydrated for 24 hours
  • Brightens – Reveals skin’s healthy glow
  • Clears – Reduces dark spots, redness, fine lines and wrinkles
  • Refines – Reduces the appearance of pores
  • Conceals – Instantly hides flaws and imperfections
  • Evens – corrects uneven skin tone
  • Smoothens – Makes skin smooth, soft and supple
  • Protects – SPF 26/PA++++ protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays


You can open the container easily and has nozzle with a little opening to control the product coming out.  With this you just need a small amount and I usually place it at the back of my hand and using my other hand to dot it all over my face.  I also use my fingers to spread it all over my face.  It really blends well but you need it to do it quick if you let it leave it long it will make a mark on your face and you have to re-blend it more with your fingers.


The smell is just exactly like liquid foundation but it has a little scent to it so it does not bother me that much.  The texture of the product is very fluid, it gives coverage to hide my dark spots and right now I have lots of imperfections in my face.  Maybe I’m stress with my job and personal life, but hey that is life!


At first makes my face white but after a few minutes it will blend with my face since I have an acidic skin so it will darkens afterwards.  I like using this since it also gives a smooth canvas it will be easy for me to put on other make-up.  I also have this theory that it makes my make-up on much longer.

Will I repurchase the same item? ABSOLUTELY!  I like to use it as my changing routine for me not to get bored using the same old habit.  Also, the price is affordable and this can be used as for an everyday thing.

Face Review: ELF All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade


Hi Everyone!

It is time to share a product review that I have been using for months now, the ELF All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade.  I bought this one and I can’t even remember when.  I just came back and forth with other blush that I have but this one is the one I’m keep on reaching these few months.  Yes, I only have 1 shade as of the moment and to be honest it is hard to finish products like this.  That is why it is more practical one product at a time.

PRODUCT INFO:
Brand:  ELF
Name:  All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade
Net Wt:  0.23 oz
Price:   Php129.75
Where to Buy:  SM Department Store, PCX Stores


The container of the product is hard plastic.  The body has a white container with the product and the cap is transparent so you can see the color.  You just have to lift the cap to open.  The size of the container is very handy easy to bring for travelling.


To get more products you simply twist the white container.  I like the smell with a sweet citrus fragrance, it doesn’t bother me and I liked it a lot.  The texture of the product is very much as like a cream blush.  When you swipe it across your cheeks, you have to master the art of blending.  Yes, not only in your eye shadow but also in your cheeks.  I believe I’m a bit good at it, there are times that I put too much but with a little blending and powder that I get the color that I want on my face. 


It gives a pretty glow to my face and I like the natural look of it.  It illuminates and gives the skin freshness all day long.  The shimmer is on the right amount that it doesn’t overpower my eyes or lips make up.  Most of the time it stayed at least the whole day without any touch ups and for me it is very good job holding on to my face even if I’m very much busy at work I don’t have to worry if I’m pale or looking like a zombie.  

Will I repurchase the same item? Probably but will try out other shades since I’m pretty adventurous on buying new item but if I really love as in love the product I will keep on coming back for sure.
