Skinfood Salmon Brightening Eye Serum Review




Actually I'd used this on 2011 till 2013. Because the bottle is so big it lasted me so long and I threw it on december 2013 because it was already 2 years. Lol. (But I do like the packaging, its unique)

I've choose this because of my age. They said, for early 20s, there's no need to use eye cream and enough to only use eye serum.

My Impression:

I was afraid if the smell will smell like a fish. Lol. But no, it has a really nice pleasant smell.
The texture is gel creamy but light. It was easy to apply at my under eyes.

It did moisturise and smoothen my undereyes. But no brightening nor whitening. To be honest, I was disappointed. Because before, my undereyes did look like a panda. Lol.
And 3 years ago, the price was rm76. Now it is rm96. Lol so expensive.

So I discontinue it. And doesn't use any eye serum or eye cream.


Conclusion:

Moisturizes, smoothen
No brightening/whitening

Etude House Wonderpore Freshener Review

Etude House Wonderpore Freshener

I've been longing to try this for so long because I'd read so many positive feedbacks. And the bottle is so unique and cute. It just attracting me!


You only have to pump/press the cotton into it. What a unique creation of freshener/toner! ♥

Description:

The Wonder Pore Freshener is a total solution for pore troubles. It is an astringent toner with antiseptic properties that removes oil, dirt, germs, and residues for clear, healthy skin.
It claims to do 7 of the following:
• Deep cleanse pores 
• Control sebum 
• Keep the ideal pH balance (4.5 ± 1)
• Tighten pores
• Brighten skin tone
• Prevent enlarging of pores
• Prevent skin troubles

It is 6 free, so it doesn't include: parabens, mineral oil, artificial fragrance, artificial pigments, talc and animal ingredients.

It contains their anti pore-dex complex (Korean pasque flower, dandelion, chrysanthemum, and hinoki cypress extracts) 
Those ingredients are used to treat acne and inflammation, soothe the skin, and cleanse the skin more thoroughly than the general ingredients in soaps and cleansers. It also contains astringentlex (rose geranium, lotus flower, great burnet, gambier, and cinnamon extracts), which is supposed to suppress the production of excess sebum by tightening the pores. Those ingredients enhance firmness and elasticity of the skin. 

My Impression:

I love this! 
At first, I don't think it do anything. But after, I constantly wear it with a cotton. I can see changes on my skin. Before this, I put it in a spray bottle, and spray all over my face and pat. It was good. But not as good when I used it with cotton. 
I feel so freshed whenever I put on this. After a few times, I thought it was drying my face. But after a month or so, I don't think it's drying my face but it balancing the ph, I guess.

I do think it reduce just a lil bit of my pores. And any new pores caused by whitehead or blackhead will shrink to the normal size when I put this wonderpore after the whitehead/blackhead was out.
I have no problem with the scent. ♥

And when I used this with hada labo. Voila... love it bebeh. I can't describe it. It just do me wonder. Haha. ♡♡♡



Conclusion:

Cute packaging, not travel friendly
Controls oil, balance ph
Do minimize a bit of pore sizes

Skinfood Aloe BB Cream Review




I had this in 2012. So, I just check my old personal blog. I did wrote about this bb cream. So let me share with you guys, this skinfood aloe bb cream.

So, this was my first bb cream. I searched a lot in internet to know what is the best bb cream and the cheapest but good (of course) lol.

I liked this bbcream. The color is better than thefaceshop bb cream. It came with two colors  I chose tone number 2.


Description: 

Rich with aloe, which possesses excellent hydrating properties and soothing effect, this multi-functional skin care product (UV protector and blemish corrector) provides moisture and nutrition to your skin while providing protection from UV rays.



My Impression:

The smell is so mild and will fade away after you applied. It's quite thick though, but it blends well if you moisturise your skin well. It has spf20, not so much so you still need to wear sunblock.
The coverage for scars and acne is medium.
A decent bb cream from skinfood. Better than thefaceshop magic cover. Lol.

And it blends well after few minutes with my skintone. The oil control was okay but not so good. But still decent. Because I got oily after 6 hours?

But still I think this bb cream is good. :)

Rating: ★★★★☆ 3.5/5

Price: rm54.90

Meiko Cosmetics Naturactor Cover Face Review


Ohmy.. I was excited to try this product from Meiko Cosmetics that made in Japan. 
I did read and survey about this naturactor cover face and mostly they were all positive feedbacks. And in some of Philippines blog stated that most actresses in Philippines used this foundation as their secret to a flawless face.

Description:
Provides great coverage for skin. It's long lasting and you only need to apply a little to get the perfect skin look. For all skin types. Fragrance free. Special to make up artis and professional use.

Some of the ingredients in naturactor cover face that goods to our skin are; 
Jojoba Oil - effective for treating dry skin or helping to create a more youthful appearance for people with ageing skin. Also used for acne treatment.
Mica - offers a sheer look and feel to the skin that it is long lasting.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - an antioxidant that protects and repairs your skin.


My Thought:
And ohmyyy.. I love it. ♥ And yes I did choose the wrong color shade. lol. I didn't realized and read about the color at first. After I wear it then I know that color is way lighter for me. Because looking at the picture (with all the shade colors on), the colors seemed darker so that's why I chose 140. I think I am supposed to choose 141 or 151. Lol

Okay why I love it?
You know that I'm a fan of light texture skincare and makeup. And yes.. this is a light texture foundation eventhough it's creamy.
Haha.. I don't know how it can be light texture when it's creamy but that's the special and the best thing about this product.




As you can see my pictures above (no filter). The left one was my bare face with only my skincare on. The middle was my face with only naturactor on. And the right was after I put on some bronze blush, eyeliner and lipgloss.

And yeah, you read it right. I didn't put any compact nor loose powder.

Can you see the texture on my face? It looked dewy and matte. And who need a powder? Lol.
I love it! I can wear it alone without any powder on. And oh yeah.. after 10-15 minutes it did fit well with my skintone. I don't know how it did but yeah. But still it will be best if I chose the 141 or 151 :)

It's so easy to blend when I'm using fingers. And easy to blend when use with foundation brush. But I like the best when I used it with wet sponge.  The above pictures were used by wet sponge.

And seriously, I don't feel like I was wearing a foundation at all. I felt like I was wearing nothing except for my gel eyeliner. I swipe my hand on my face just to see if it feels greasy like some of my foundation... but no baby. It doesn't feel greasy. So bye bye thefaceshop. Lol.
And as you can see, it did cover my scar and blemish. :) and it is so affordable (if you buy with @elegancecosmetics because they sells only rm41) and it was 20g creamy foundation that will last you more than a year.
Love it love it love it.

Conclusion:
Light texture, easy to blend
Controls oil, fit well
Cover blemish, non greasy
No fragrance, affordable

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.5/5 (I'll give 5 if I chose the right color lol)

Price: rm41 - rm 69
(I'll suggest you to buy from @eleganceconsmetics because they do sells the original products from Japan with affordable price. The contact details were below.)
