Maybelline pure bb mineral

20120718-193603.jpg
This is BB UV which (I research) was marketed for Japan. I bought this in Hong Kong though. I was attracted by the clean white packaging and the high SPF. Since the clear smooth bb cream work pretty good on me, I thought I gave this a try.

I seriously have a love hate relationship with this. Some days, it gave me the most fab flawless looking face, other days way too caked. I guess I have problem with mineral products. Really have mix review about them.

Anyway, like most bb cream, this just come in one shade, which is a little light on my face. Especially now with the scorching sun in this tiny island. I am a bit darker than usual. But this oxidize after awhile. While the color is close to my color, it's too yellow.

I find that this work best under naked face, meaning no moisturizer. I guess it is bad, but it works well for me. Cause I'm always been in a hurry, so this arrangement work pretty well. No break out which is good. The bad thing is I have to wait for it to set on my face, before I can put setting powder. The waiting time varied. I find 10 minutes is just about enough, which is forever when you are late.

I tried all kind of powder, and the one that doesn't make it cakey is the ZA Groovy Smoovy which is a bolting powder. I can use my ZA two-way foundation, as that will help to fix the color back to my tone, but some days it still can look caked plus i no long has the powder.

So ya, mix feelings about this. I cant bear to throw it away. Cause when I try it "one last time", it was good. For just a mere 30mL, it takes forever to finish. I just want it to finish ASAP so I can move on to other foundations. I guess now I have about a week or more of use before I can say farewell.

I hope I can have my hubbie find this product in China. There's like a Sephora in Shanghai.

Hope so as it's made in china, so maybe your husband will be able to find it. But I don't think it will be available in Sephora though.

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...
