Maybelline bb cream

I tried a sample of clear smooth bb cream, and it was awesome on my skin. The perfect foundation without much hassle. As the way I apply this is just using my hand, all over my face just like a moisturizer. I do like the finish look it gave me. With a spf 26, I feel I can just use this whenever I am late and in a hurry.

I decided to get both as I forgot if the sample was in 01 or 02.

Fresh 01 is lighter for my skin. But strangely it gives me an awake look. I guess that's why they call it fresh. My face is much brighter. And I hardly have to use make up. Just keeping it simple and plain. So I like to use this when I go for dance class.

For natural 02, I mostly use this, but I have to use make up, if not I feel something is not done yet. I guess is cause the color blend into my skin so much it looks like I did not put on anything. Really natural.

Both really goes on well with the Maybelline clear smooth powder. After bb I use the powder to gives it a matte finish.

I do like this product as it gives me a nice clean canvas to work on. However I do know lots of people who do not like it. They said as a bb cream, it doesn't do its job well. I do notice one thing with using this, if I did not put on moisturizer, it will gives me break out, as long as I used it two days in a row. So I guess I need my moisturizer to protect my natural face first before putting on this cream. That's why I use this as a foundation instead of a bb cream.

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
