ZA two-way foundation

My first powder foundation. Well not the this exact piece, but basically I've been using ZA one for such a long time. I probably used up 4 or 5 refills. 20121009-021914.jpg



I'm using shade 22. There used to be only 4/5 shades. Recently, I went to Watsons and found out that they came out with more shades. So after this powder hit pan, I wouldn't know what shade to get. Cause they sort of add and change the numbering. I have to try finding the right shade again, which I really hate. I do not like finding shade to match my skin tone. I just feel silly trying them out. Plus most of the time I try it on my hand, so it doesn't really match correctly.

Anyway, a long time ago, this is enough to cover my face. As in, it gives enough coverage in my opinion. Like I wouldn't need to use any foundation before hand. But now it barely covers anything. I feel naked. Some days I don't mind so much. But these few days, I've been fussy. I just feel dull and imperfect with this light coverage. So I use this as a setting powder. It matches my skin tone, it kind of bring any foundation or bb cream into the proper shade for me. It just looks nicer.

The powder doesn't give a full coverage, but it is not exactly transparent. Not really buildable, as it will just look caked. It last for a reasonable amount of time. 6 hours? My face will get slightly shiny after, around the T-zone. Then you can apply it again or even before that. But if you layered it straight after you put the first coat, then it will be too much.

I trusted ZA and its products suit my skin, so I do not have any problem with them. I am not exactly in love with them. Just that I can always count on them to work on my skin. It will pretty much be a bias opinion. I guess you just have to try them to see if its actually good enough for you.

So if you get the new one, it will be call perfect fit two-way foundation and here is a chart of the new shade. Oh, the casing and refills are sold separately.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

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. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
