REVIEW: Bourjois Paris - Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation

Hello Tuesday....

Today I'm back with another foundation review which is Bourjois Paris - Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation

i got mine in shade N55- Dark Beige which I believe is the darkest shade available at my local Watson (and its not as dark, almost like NW25 of MAC Prolong wear foundation).

It retails from Rm 53.33 to Rm 59.25 in Watson, depending on the discount or deals with 30ml of product.

• Apricot for radiance
• Melon for hydration
• Apple to protect your youth

It is also enriched with crystalline pigments to even out the complexion while letting in the natural light for that healthy looking glow.

Its soft, fresh texture easily blends onto the skin for a comfortable flawless finish leaving you with beautiful, radiant and hydrated skin for 8 hours***.

( description taken from Bourjois.uk website) 

The foundation claimed to give you hydrated and luminous skin with healthy glow and flawless complexion which lasts to 16 hours. It also enriches with fruit therapy to enhance your skin.

My Review:

* This foundation gives a medium coverage, and you can build it up to full if you need more coverage

* It has fruity scent, which is a plus..no chemically scent at all

* The finish of the foundation is semi-matte/satin and it gives you natural healthy glow 

* The foundation will last you all day, even in hot and humid temperature in Malaysia

* This is the kind of foundation that looks better after few hours of wear

* Its on the thicker side, I suggest apply with your clean fingers for natural finish or damp sponge for dewy finish.

how it looks on my skin with natural light and no concealer at all

Recommendation:

I HIGHLY recommend this foundation for daily basis, you don't need much to make yourself look better...

Until next time,

REVIEW: Elianto Feather Like Airbrush Foundation

hello from the other side,
hi guys, today I'll be writing a review on a foundation from Elianto called ' Feather Like Airbrush Foundation'
it comes in three different shade, 01-ivory beige, 02- natural beige 03- sand beige

as can be seen in elianto official website

the retail price is Rm39.90 each, and i bought mine during 50% off promotion few months back. i got mine in shade 01- ivory beige which is the lightest shade. actually i wanted to get the second shade, 02- natural beige but the sales girl wrongly give me the lightest shade and i just realize that when i reached home. im not as sure but as i remember Elianto goods sold are not refundable or changeable.

on to the actual product,
Elianto Feather Lite Airbrush Foundation gives you perfect skin. This lightweight, gel-based foundation imparts a refreshing sensation and a smooth, satin-like finish, giving you a radiant, natural glow with buildable sheer to medium coverage. With antioxidant Vitamin C and anti-aging Vitamin E, this long-wearing foundation cares for your skin too (taken from the product's description)

what can i say:

1) this foundation is best applied by hand ( make sure your hands are clean) as it is on the sheer side.
2) i would say it give light-medium coverage, perfect for daily use. it has a pleasant scent, not as chemically smelling. for me its more like the bb cream rather than a foundation texture wise and also coverage wise.
3) it has the moisturizing effect that it claimed to be
4) it has satin finish and looks very natural
5) it has no SPF in it so its safe for any flash photography.

the down sides are :

1) it is not build-able, it can look really thick and cakey
2) if applied by damp beauty blender or any damp makeup sponge, it'll melt and starts to separate on skin and gives a really weird look
3) it does not last the whole day as it claimed to be long-lasting, after more than 4 hours you can start see missing foundation spots especially around nose area and around your mouth area.

i would suggest to set the foundation with powder as it can get oily throughout the day especially on tropical weather (hot and humid) like in Malaysia. it doesn't break me out and doesn't dry out my skin as this girl has dry skin.
overall, its a good foundation for daily basis but don't expect much from it.
for me personally, i won't repurchase this foundation as i can get better foundation for this price range.

till i see you again,
with love, Dhean

FRUIT OF EARTH COCOA BUTTER with aloe and vit E

ola....and hi again, today i would like to review on one of the fruit of earth product, the cocoa butter enriched with aloe adn vitamin E skin care cream..
i got mine almost two month ago at Urban Fresh in Setia City Mall when i was doing my internship there. i was looking for a moisturizer actually when i bumped into this.
so here is what it looks like:

 basically it is a multipurpose cream to relief dry skin which if you live in air-cond you will know what i mean. it was around RM 14-Rm 15 when i bought it and it contains 113g of product. its a cruelty free product which is a plus. it also can be used as a after sun moisturizing cream.

here are the ingredients list of it and a lot of the ingredients are good for moisturizing and for your skin.. it is somehow in thick consistency but not as rich as a body balm or body butter.. it has a buttery sweet smell and it is quite strong but once you put it on your skin, the smell will fade away.. i will not advice to use it as face moisturizer because it will leave that heavy feel and if you have a dry patches on your face, use a little amount of it and just targeting on the dry patches. i use it for the after sun treatment and it helps a lot in soothes and calm my skin down..i use it as a body moisturizer and it works amazingly.
i also use this at the ends of my hair as a hair mask sometimes and it does help to moisturize it.
overall, this is a must have if you are living in hot, or dry or cold conditions especially if your day is filled with air-conditioner. your skin will thanks you after this.
bye-bye...see you soon with another review.....

NYX stay matte but not flat liquid foundation review

hi.....yeah...im quite Missing in action for a while.....so now im back....im going to give my thoughts on the foundation i mention in the title....
i've been using this foundation for few months before giving my own review on it, as i wanted to test the foundation for its long time effects. i know some foundation kinda change and started to make you oily, dry, looking caked-up after a few usage.
so, here is how the foundation looks like...

it has 1.18 fl.oz or 35ml, slightly more than typical foundation amount and it retails for RM 30 at my local sephora. Only sephora carries this brand here in Malaysia, can't find any in drugstores anywhere. im in the shade soft beige, SMF50.. it was kinda hard for me to pick a shade because im kinda in the between of this shade and caramel shade..but this one matches me better than the caramel which make me looked darker than i am.

this foundation in particular, has no SPF, claimed to be oil free,water based, full coverage with a matte finish.
first time applying it, it was quite thin, thinner than revlon's foundation with a slight smell, nothing too intense.
it is not full coverage, i'll say it has slight to medium coverage, you can build it up but not too much or else you'll be looking quite caked-up. it is quite dewy on its own but after you set it with powder its matte. if you have oily skin, make sure to prime your skin and apply a oil absorbing powder as you will get quite shiny through out the day. it is not a long wear foundation for me, its not transfer proof and it tend to rub off. and it will also crease and settle into your fine line after 3-4 hours of wearing.
its a good foundation for everyday baseas it gives a natural look but i dont advice it for events or parties.
overall: go for it if you want affordable, and a matte foundation for everyday's natural look. a little goes a long way, literally i just use a bean size only. dont go for it if you love full coverage look, a long lasting foundation or if you looking for a fancy one

how the foundation looks on me, no highlight, no bronzer and no concealer, just foundation and powder
