Review on: Pinkies Collections Cream Foundation



Isn't that frustrating and annoying to have a bad skin? That's why I decided to purchase this product because I have been breaking out for the past few months and I wanted to cover up the unwanted "visitors" on my face.

Although it is not the best Idea since wearing makeup can make the situation worst, I will still wear one because I don't want to go out with lots of redness on my face! :D



I first saw this product in one of the videos of say(link) and I was instantly convinced by it. So I went to SM dept. store to purchase one. It only costs me P 249 or roughly $ 5.



I was just a bit concerned about the word "TAN" there. This was the lightest shade according to the sales lady. *update: They already have a two shades lighter than CFC-03, which are CFC-02 and CFC-01. BTW it was made in FRANCE. whoa

Ingredients:



On the first time that I applied it on my face I was a bit disappointed. The shade is a bit off to me(CFC-03). I was expecting that it was warm(yellowish). But when blending it turns into a cool(beige) undertone. By the way I use a sponge to blend it.



On the 2nd time, I decided to dot it all over my face and blend it with my fingers. :) and viola! It matched my skin tone and It covered up all of my imperfections and redness without the use of concealer.

In my opinion you can go out without setting it with powder if you have a normal skin type, but since I have a combo skin type I have to set it with powder, I used to use Maybelline's all in one cake foundation but the it tends to cake up that's why I switched to Avon's shine control powder in almond.

This photo was taken before I started to use benzyol peroxide that's why you can see few bumps on my face. Anyway, Pinkies Collections Cream Foundation was able to conceal it all. :) Amazing!


This was after few days of using it. As you can see the bumps are gone now, and my skin is super better than before.

 *I swear I did not Photoshop these photos :)

All over thoughts on this foundation:

Good:

A little goes a long way. Super pigmented.
Can cover up acne and acne scars etc...
Super cheap I got his at 249 Php only!
Stays intact all day long.
The Logo the name and the packaging is cute and compact :D

Bad:

It has a tendency to look cakey if you over apply it.
Has a little bit plastic scent, but it is totally tolerable. And the scent fades away once you apply the product on your  face.
Prone to bacteria contamination, because its wide open. I just keep it closed and I make sure to use clean fingers or a brush. :D

Will I repurchase? yes!, but I'll probably try the CFC-02 shade :D

Over all rating 9/10 This is the only affordable foundation that really works! :D

Thank you for your time! Hope you found this helpful.

Review on: Sophie Paris lipstick in Summer Pink

I just recently bought this lipstick because I noticed that I don't have any light pink lipstick and I really wanted to wear one. And I remembered that Sophie Paris lipsticks has a nude pink lipstick which is Summer pink. I have read a lot of good review about this shade and I wanted to try it out myself.

The nearest Sophie Paris Store in our place is just at the gate of our subdivision. Lucky huh? :D

I was super tempt to try it on when I open it and saw the bullet of the lipstick, but I controlled myself because I wanted to take a photo of it with a good condition.


Link of their latest catalog here.


Here is a swatch of it.

I already have Ice Pink shade from the same line. This shade (summer pink) is a little bit lighter than the ice pink I have a review on it here. And both has a cool undertone.

 Summer Pink and Ice Pink side by side (I'm sorry if it looks crappy, I accidentally ruined the bullet and never used it again)




2 different looks, wearing the same lipstick. 


I was a bit disappointed about the shade I thought it would be a little bit warmer. But then I will still wear it and I still find it pretty.


I would say that I will probably gonna wear this lipstick with a bolder makeup or at least with an eyeliner. This is not the type of lipstick that you can wear on a daily basis with light makeup on or else it will look undone.


Overall thoughts:


GOOD:

  • Very Pigmented
  • Its super Cheap at only 79 pesos
  • Long lasting. This stains your lips so it will not leave your lips as pale at it was. Perfect if you are expecting to eat/drink.
  • Doesn't have a nasty smell. Although it has a scent that I cant describe, it totally tolerable.

BAD:
  • The color is inconsistent. I think It darkens on your lips throughout the day.
  • The design of the tube fades away, that's why I did not totally removed the plastic cover to protect it.
  • Only available at Sophie Paris' store/agent.
Rating: 8/10

Will I repurchase. Probably no. I'll find another lipstick brand for the shade I'm looking for. But I will still wear this occasionally. But If I am going for a statement lips then I would definitely go for this one.

How about you? what do you think of this shade?

Thank you for visiting!

Summer Makeup Tutorial

Its summer time! I know 75% of the year is like summer here in the Philippines, since our country is a tropical one. But during this time of the year it gets more humid. About a week ago I did a makeup tutorial on YouTube for summer makeup. I first uploaded a video on my channel last year, and I cant believe it has been a year and I haven't updated my channel yet. I don't know, maybe I just got lazy... :D BUT I will surely upload videos more often now. Actually I already filmed 2 tutorials(Formal event make up&Sock bun hair), I am just having problem on rendering it. Its probably gonna be up next week. So if want to, you could subscribe to my channel



Anyway, This look is perfect during summer or spring time. This will absolutely look gorgeous during the day time especially when the sun hits you face (just don't forget to wear sunscreen!).

Here are some snapshots of the video:
