Banila Co. Prime Primer BB Cream in Nude

banila co's bb template

From all the BB creams I've tried, I've finally found the one! Yes, the one! It's banila co.'s Prime Primer BB Cream in Nude. It looks sheer on the skin but subtly conceals your blemishes. It also has SPF 37 PA++, and because of its sun protection capabilities, I sometimes skip the sunblock (Uh oh, not good!).

This product can be used alone or as a makeup base before applying foundation. Either way, it works amazingly. It is also perfumed -- but only lightly. And because of its pump applicator, application is less messy and there will be no instances of excess product leaking from the tip when you press the tube container too hard.

Browhaus: Introducing the Brow Resurrection 2.4

IMG_6345

A few weeks ago, Browhaus invited me to witness the newest version of Brow Resurrection -- the version 2.4. For those who don't know, Brow Resurrection is a semi-permanent eyebrow treatment that will give you the brow shape you've always wanted (no more lining and shaping your brows in the morning!). This is recommended for those who have thin and shapeless brows (like me!), and also those who have thick and unruly brows.

Pond's Flawless White BB Cream Review

pond's bb

After my Maybelline BB cream ran out (finally!), I had the chance to try the Pond's Flawless White BB cream (Light). It's similar in almost every aspect to the Maybelline BB cream, differing only in consistency and shade. Pond's gives off a light pink undertone, giving you a youthful glow, in contrast to Maybelline's grayish undertone. Coverage-wise, they're almost the same, giving minimal coverage ideal for everyday use. The Pond's BB has a thicker consistency and thus, more product is used when applying. This is also suitable for all skin types.

I don't know about its claim, 'lightens from within' but what I do know is that it brightens my face whenever I use it! This product has an SPF of 30 so you can skip the sunblock if you're not planning on staying under the sun for too long. It is also very affordable, which is great for those who are on a budget!

To be honest, the only negative thing I can think of is that this product is too bulky, and will hardly fit in your purse. I suggest you bring a more portable BB cream when traveling. But if you can afford the extra space, why not?

Will I repurchase? Definitely!

Tmart 88 Warm Professional Eyeshadow Palette Review

IMG_5209
Tmart.com recently asked me to choose which eyeshadow palette I wanted to review, and knowing me, I chose the most neutral eyeshadow palette I could find. Yes, there were lots of bright, fun and colorful eyeshadow palettes to choose from. I won't deny it, they look extra nice and it was as if they were calling out my name and shouting 'pick me, pick me!'. But later on, I realized that if I choose those colorful ones, I won't be using them that much in the end. And so, I picked this one! :)

Chambray

IMG_4458 copy

I've been looking for a denim or chambray button-down since forever…but now I'm happy to announce that the search has ended!

There are so many denim or chambray tops to choose from in stores but it seemed like I couldn't find the perfect one for me. I almost gave up my search when one afternoon, I saw this chambray top on the shelves of Uniqlo *rejoice*! I admit, it wasn't the best, but it was good enough for me. I hurried over to it but found that they did not have my size. Sad.

The next day, in a different mall, I came upon another Uniqlo store (it was totally unplanned!). I immediately looked for the chambray top from the day before. I was expecting not to find any in my size, but there it was, in size small! I actually asked if they had a size XS to see if that one fits me better but I was told that the smallest size they carry is a small. Although even without trying on the smaller size, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase!
