Review: Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector

Hello there!

Yes I am back and I am soooo excited. I haven't got my camera back but I can't wait that long, I have this urge to write this down so, I used my webcam and photoscape.
First of all, I am so very sorry about the poor quality of the photo. I would change it when I got my camera back, promise.

Okay, so I have this Garnier  BB Miracle Skin Perfector. I have to warn you that, I bought this in Indonesia. I do believe there is kind of differences in every country and I don't why but it does, so if it doesn't apply to the Garnier that you have because you're not in Indonesia or didn't buy it here, I am so very sorry.

I have this kind of love and hate relationship with this one. Because as much as I have negative things to say about this, I used it everyday for several weeks. Mostly to test things out but also because it's simple and easy.

Okay so well for a start, I really don't know if it's really bb cream or it's just the name, it's a miracle skin perfector which would probably be a different cream or maybe a part of a bb cream, I am not sure. In the back though, it says All-in-1 Perfecting Cream Garnier BB moisturizer. So, it might be my brain being a tool that I don't really get this but I don't know I have never known a BB moisturizer before.

The bottle says, this cream claims to have SPF 21/ PA++ and formula to protect the skin from UVB and UVA rays.
Brighten skin, lightens dark spot and acne marks, moisturize skin, mattifies skin and absorbs oil, giving powder finish and evens out the skin tone.

There are more good things that this cream claims to have, which makes me wonder why I experience just a few little of it.

Starting with something I like about this cream, is that this cream has a fresh fragrance, lemon fresh kind of fragrance that making me love to just put in on my face, especially in the morning after shower. The cream is also so lightweight, and super easy to spread, which is a true thing written on the back of this bottle. I guess this is why I kinda love it even though I hate it (lol) is because this is the kind of cream consistency that I want for my everyday use. It takes literally two-three minutes to spread this on my face and blend it, it's so not time consuming, and I just need my finger for this and it's great to put on everyday basis because I just don't have much time sometimes. Also, It feels like I am not wearing anything at all, it's true that it is so lightweight and it does have a powdery finish which makes my face looks fresh. Plus I hope it's true about the SPF things. These all the pluses for me.

The nuh-uh things about this crem is that, it has no coverage whatsoever. I thought this is bb cream, which would probably would have low coverage but this is has very sheer to none coverage, well but if you see it just being a moisturizer or well a tinted moisturizer, maybe it will be acceptable. It doesn't even out my skin tone, not very longlasting, it will probably lasts for two-three hours max.

Alright the thing that I am most disappointed is the part where it says it mattifies skin and absorbs oil. It doesn't. I have a combination of oil and dry skin, on some days I am just oily. I hate to say but this is making me more oily for some reasons, I don't know why. I am guessing it's because I never ever put moisturizer that contains oil in it, just hydrating mineral stuff and this cream just can't hold the oil flow on my face and of course, it's being a moisturizer that is not water based. So I think it also explain my skin breaking out.

so yeah, I still use it sometimes on the days I really really super don't have time but I don't want to go bare face, also I could use the SPF, I definitely would go for this with powder and no my usual moisturizer because It could get really super oily. With powder though, it's still oily but not that bad.

one thing to remember, in Indonesia they don't have color for this. So it's kinda crazy and I thought it is way too light for me but when I blend it, it has no color whatsoever on me, I thought it just blends in very well and adjusting to my skin color but now I think that's not the case, it's just lack of pigmentation and coverage.

I actually have friend who loves this product to death, it is so cheap, crazy cheap and also works out great for her. She mostly has normal type of skin and also doesn't have anything to be covered. So maybe if you are that girl, you can go try this because you might love it.

But me, I won't purchase it again. On the website (USA one) they have one with water based formula so I might want to try that and also variation of this cream that might be more suitable for my skin.

So yeah, this is the first time of my post that I don't like the product more than I like it. I feel kinda terrible but this is how it works on me, it does work differently depending on people's skin, if you still want to try it, go ahead, it could be great for you.

SO that's all, I hope I have my camera soon! So I can post things that I am excited to share to you guys, alright see ya!

Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo

Hello guys!

How are you? I'm doing good. A little update of my life, I have an admission test for universities in five days, I know I should be hitting the books but I'm human... 

So well instead of drowning myself in a pile of books I decide to do another review, just because I love it! can't say the same about this product though - wait, I don't hate it! If the rating are: hate it, so-so, like it, and love it. This one is a like it! Oh and if you noticed that I have never reviewed things that i don't like, it's because things that I have right now are so lovable. I don't know why I haven't found something that I hate yet but I'll let you know if I ever did! Even though I can't imagine writing a really horrifying blog post on a product (maybe the day will come, but eh..).

So back to this one!

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr by Eyestudio is my first ever gel cream eyeshadow and I actually have heard great things about this, and it is great. This one I have is in the color 35-on and on bronze. I actually was in a hurry when I was purchasing this, I just thought oh it's a brown or bronze color is so pretty but I didn't realize that it's kind of bronze metallic. So it's just kind of glittery. I was disappointed at first because I was kind of expecting a matte color but as I go along it's actually really pretty. 

I kind of start loving this, it's like really easy to put on, it's so pigmented. I actually would say it is not creamy at all, it's kind of solid, so I would use my finger to press onto the product and swipe it a little so the product will melt to the skin of my finger and then swipe it on the lid of my eyes. As simple as that, no need brush (well if you want to use it, that's fine too..), it can go alone like that or it can be as a base, then you can pick a matte eyeshadow over this, it's really beautiful and yes it last like a tattoo (lol not really..) I mean like really looong time, so it's a really perfect one to wear for a party when you're gonna be dancing or formal stuff because it won't crease, it'll be perfect all day and all night. Here! check out the swatch of this product!

There are bunch of colors to pick also they do have the matte ones! I just took the wrong thing. So watch for this next time you go on to the maybelline counter. This has been in the store for a while so if you haven't got your hand on this I suggest to try it.

So it's the review for today! let me know if you have these, what do you think, especially if you've tried to matte ones, I want to know! Or if you have another gel or cream eyeshadows another than this, tell me so I can check it out!

Until later guys!

With love,

Natural - No Make Up - Make up Look!

Hello guys! Today I thought I'll share my natural and no make up, make up look that I've been loving for everyday wear. It's crazy easy, this needs probably like 10 minutes - 15 minutes tops.Wearable for anywhere, like school, work and oh probably mostly when you are late to somewhere and you only have a little bit of time.. this will do! It'll make you look decent in the shortest time. So here's it:

1. Benefit Hello Flawless and Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation : I use these on my clean, moisturized face, Sometimes I use both or just one of them depends how my face, use any foundation that's easy to blend, and use hands to blend in, it'll save time.

2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer : I apply this under my eyes, all the imperfect spots, also on my eyes lid, with patting this product into your skin.

3. Maybelline Master Brow in grey color : Just use this on my brow, following my natural eyebrows, just fill the eyebrows in, avoid making the arch too high

4. Make Up Academy "Undress Me Too" Palette : Using my eyeshadow brush, I take the color "Lavish" from the palette and just apply it on my crease. I don't wear anymore eyeshadow, just this to add depth on my eyes. After applying, take your blending brush and just blend.

5. Revlon ColorStay Crayon Eyeliner in black brown : apply this on the lash line, apply this thicker on the end of the eye, then pick a blending brush or eye shadow brush then smudge it a little, so it doesn't look harsh and more natural also giving thicker lashes illusion. 

6. Maybelline The Magnum Volum Express Mascara : after curling my lashes and put powder on my lashes (for lashes to appear more fuller) I apply this mascara, I only use one coat to stick to natural look.

7. NYX LipLiner Pencil in Peek-a-Boo Natural and Make Over Lipgloss : I apply lipliner on my lips, the pink is so natural and pretty and add lipgloss on top of it.

So that's how I did it, and it turn out to be like something like this;

You barely can tell I put my make up on, and I don't know this is how it look like on the photo, in real life it's more visible in natural kind of way.

This is for today, I'll you guys very soon

With love,
