Skin Care and MakeUp Collective Haul!

Hey Loves!

Welcome back to my blog!

So today will be about a collective skin care and makeup haul. The reason why this post is quite late is because I have been contemplating if I will be writing about it or just post a video on it so that it won't take too long for you to read.

So finally, I decided to just make a video for it. Some are actually repurchases and have done reviews on already and most of them I haven't. Unfortunately, since the video is quite long, it cannot be uploaded here. :( So for you to be able to watch it, I just decided to upload it in my YouTube channel. Please be informed though that I am not yet an official YouTuber, I basically just made an account in YouTube so as I can be updated and subscribed to my favorite beauty YouTubers. This time though, since I want you guys to see this haul and so as you will know what product reviews to expect in my following blogposts, I decided to upload it anyway. LOL I will be including the link in this post so you guys can watch it in my YouTube Channel. Feel free to subscribe and also to give that video a thumbs up if you want me to also be posting videos in YouTube for product reviews and makeup looks. :) Feel free to also follow me in Instagram: @Yhang_Chua to be updated with my upcoming blog posts. :)

Review: Nichido Matte Lipstick in the Shade Temptation

Hey Loves!

So today will be about one of my new found favorite lippie from the drugstore which is the Nichido Matte Lipstick in the shade Temptation. This was actually recommended to me by a friend and when I saw, swatched and tried it, I instantly fell in love! And there, I finally bought my own tube of this lippie. :)

This is how the lipstick looks like when swatched:

If you notice, it really has a matte finish. It is very pigmented as well. It is actually a mauvey red dark shade.

Price: Php 188.00

Net Wt. 3.7grams

So this is how the lippie looks like when worn:

If you notice, it does have a matte to semi-matte finish but what I really like about this as well is that it's not very drying on the lips like other matte lippies. 

So I also tested its longevity. After more or less 5 hours, and during this time frame, I already ate and drank coffee and how many glasses of water, this is how the lipstick looked like:

If you notice, only a tint of it is left.

What I like:

- Very affordable: Php 188.00 only and they also have other shades

- Available in SM Department Stores- Beauty Section, Watsons and other malls nationwide

- Very pigmented

- Has a matte finish though doesn't dry the lips

- Packaging is cute.

- The cap which also serves as the shade indicator is also detachable and is a tinted lip balm :)

What I don't like:

- Lasting power is about 4-5hours max and re-application is needed especially after eating and drinking

- Transfers to your spoon/ fork, glass/mug when you eat or drink.

REPURCHASE: YES!

Like I said earlier, I love this lipstick and I don't think re-applying this from time to time will not be a problem for me. :) 

So there you have it, I hope I was able to provide you with information if you are looking for an affordable matte lipstick which is non-drying on the lips.

Review: Sooper Beaute Tinte BB Cream Velvety Finish in Medium

Hey Loves!

Welcome back to my blog!

So today will be about my review about the Sooper Beaute Tinte BB cream in the shade Medium. I actually bought this on sale last month in their SM Manila store during their 70% off sale.

I have actually used this already once during the Holidays and I can say that I liked it. :)

Price: Php 75.00 (sale price)/ Php 250.00 (Original Price)

Net Wt. 10grams

Its Claims:

- Velvety Finish

- With watermelon extract

- With SPF 20

Ingredients: (can be found at the back of the packaging)

Deionized Aqua, Dimeticone and PEG-18, Arachudyl Behenate, Laureth-7, Phenyltrimeticone, Tridectyl isononanaete, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Red Iron Oxide, Yellow Iron Oxide, Black Iron Oxide, Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenoxyethanol, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Glycerin & Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Arbutin, Hyaluronic Acid

So once you put the product in your hand, this is how it looks like. If you notice, it does have a thick consistency and not watery at all. I also have noticed that there are some tiny beads in it once you put the product on your face. 

Upon application, I learned that using a damp beauty blender sponge is not advisable as it actually cakes on your face once you use that. It is better to use a brush or a dry sponge so that there will be smooth application and you can avoid the caking of the product on your face. I have also noticed that it sets and dries on your face pretty fast so you really have to be fast as well in applying this all over your face.

This is how it looks like when I applied only one layer of the product. I didn't use any primers this time. If you notice it does have medium-full coverage as in one layer of the product only, it was already able to cover the visible veins on my cheeks.

And this is how it looks like once I put the rest of my makeup on and applied a setting powder:

It's actually very lightweight on the skin like you are not wearing any BB Creams or foundation. I then tested its longevity. After a little more than 4 hours of not blotting or retouching, this is how my face looked like:

If you notice, my face already started to oil up and my veins in my cheeks also started to get visible again and as well as my pores on my nose. 

What I like:

- It doesn't contain PropylParaben and MethylParaben

- Good for short errands as its lasting power is about 3-4 hours without any primer.

- Like I said, I already used this before prior to me making this review and Ican say it lasts longer with a mattifying primer.

- Cute Packaging

- Packaging contains the Batch No. and Expiry Date

- Contains organic ingredients

- For an organic makeup product, this is affordable.

- Has medium- heavy coverage for a BB Cream

- Has thick consistency

- Is very lightweight on the skin.

What I don't like:

- Using a damp / wet sponge is not advisable as it will just cake all over your face. Better use a brush or a dry sponge for smooth application.

- Not available in stores nationwide. Only available in their stores in selected malls but available online as well (IG: @sooperbeaute)

- Lasting power is only 3-4 hours without primer and 4-6 hours with primer.

- They only have 2 shades for this product: Medium and Fair

REPURCHASE: YES

Like I said, I like the product since aside from the fact that it is organic, for a BB Cream, it offers heavy-medium coverage at only the first layer of application. Something, you may not expect from a BB Cream. 

They also have other products available which you can check online (IG: @sooperbeaute).

So there you have it. I hope I was able to give you info if you are looking for an organic BB Cream, this will be a good product for you. Note though that we have different skin types, so this may have a different effect and longevity for you compared to my experience.

December 2015 MakeUp Favorites!

Hey Loves!!

Happy New Year Everyone! I apologize if for the past couple of weeks or should I say during the Holiday Season I was M.I.A (Missing In Action) from blogging is because I decided to take a short break and enjoy the Holidays. However, if you have been following me on Instagram (@Yhang_Chua), I have been updating it with the makeup looks that i have been doing whenever I was going out and as well as some makeup products I have purchased over the Holiday Season. Rest assured though that I will be getting back on track with blogging for the next few days especially now that the Holidays are over and I can focus more on blogging and makeup reviews I will be doing. :)

Okay, so for now, I know it's a tad bit late for my December 2015 Favorites, but hey, better late than never, right? LOL.

For face products, I have 2 main favorites which I have been constantly using during the Holidays. One BB Cream and one foundation. 

For the BB Cream, I have been loving this Essence PureSkin All-In-One BB Cream. I have actually made a review about this already which you can read here. I love the coverage and the longevity it gives me and the matte finish it gives. It also has SPF 30 PA+++ which I really like. 

For the foundation, I am loving this SanSan HD Foundation in the shade Natural. I have also done a review on this which can be read here. I love that in just one layer of this product, it already gives medium- heavy coverage. It's very affordable too and very pigmented so a little goes a long way. And the longevity? It really lasts me the whole day and keeps my face matte all day. :)

And for the blush, I have been loving this Careline Oil Control Blush-On in Rosy Cheek. I love its longevity and pigmentation. It lasts me the whole day too and for only Php 90.00, it's so worth it! :) I will be doing a separate review on this one so stay tuned for that. :)

And for lip products, these are my Top 3 favorite lippies which I have been using constantly especially during the Holidays. 

First are my EB Advance Advance Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Rich Vino (left) and Fire Opal (Right). Honestly, I used to not being a fan of red lipsticks until I purchased the shade Fire Opal. This is actually what I wore on Christmas Eve. :) And of course, if you have been reading my previous posts, you will know that I am a fan of dark shades of lip colors that is why I have been loving their shade in Rich Vino. I have the other shades of their liquid lipsticks and I will be doing a more thorough and separate review on them soon. :)

Last but not the least, for lippies, since the EB Advance Liquid Lipsticks have a really glossy finish, I also have a matte lippie favorite. This was actually recommended to me by a close friend of mine who also have the same shade and when she wore it one time when we went out, I loved its shade and its matte finish. This is the Nichido Matte Lipstick in the shade Temptation. :) Longevity is also good and I really love how matte it is without drying the lips. I am also planning to do a separate review on this one. 

Okay, so that's all for now. Please feel free to follow me here in BlogSpot and in BlogLovin.com to be updated for my future posts and makeup reviews.
