Review: Loreal True Match Foundation

-



L'Oreal released their reformulated True Match foundation. Of course, we've heard a lot of hypes on original True Match Foundation so the expectation for the reformulated one is kinda greater. 


If I remember it correctly, I bought them during the Sale week in SM for P 400.

The foundation comes in a squarish and sturdish glass bottle with a pump.
The two (2) shades that I got are N3 Nude Vanilla and G1 Gold Ivory. The one I always use is the Gold Ivory. It suits me best.

First and foremost, I want to inform you that this foundation has shimmers. It's not too much, just enough to give you a dewy look when skin is dry and under cold conditions; and sweaty when oily and humid. It's not everyday that you get good cold office conditions. If you commute a lot and you travel by series of Jeepneys and full packed train then I would say this will upset you.

There was this one time, when I went out to conduct site inspection. One of my technicians told me that I'm all sweaty when I'm not. I went to check and realized that this whole glitter/shimmer thing is emphasizing all the oils on my face. 

 Okay. So I got two foundations that I cannot use when I'm out on the field. What I do is to apply them around my eye circles and tap with powder foundation. I don't apply on the T-zone area of my face as I look like a living grease ball.

The coverage is lightweight and very nice but you do have to powder set it.


I believe this foundation will work best under good weather conditions or in air conditioned places! hahaha Do I like the product? Still yes but with reservations. :)  For field work, I'll be grabbing my all time favorite Revlon Colorstay.



How about you? What's your foundation story?

Soap for the T-Zone: My Unexpected Journey to Clearer Skin! 🧼✨

Since I’ve been using more makeup lately, I’ve found myself battling an unexpected issue—pimples! 😩 This is largely due to excess oil getting trapped in my pores, and with the number of products I use, it’s become a bit overwhelming. Despite my nighttime routine of four cleansing products, the pimples just keep coming! The Importance of Prevention “Learn how to prevent acne in the first place, so that you stop that next monster pimple before it even starts.” This quote really resonated with me as I searched for a solution. Initially, I used Clean and Clear Pimple Control , but when I ran out, I rushed to SM to repurchase it. That’s when I stumbled upon a soap specifically designed for the T-zone. It caught my attention right away! Price : ₱80 for a small bar While it’s a bit pricey for a small soap, it’s still cheaper than many dermatologist-prescribed products. Packaging and Design The packaging is super cute! The soap comes wrapped in a brown paper, and when you unwrap

Who doesn’t want to look like a doll in pictures? Most of us do, especially when it comes to capturing someone’s attention! With that in mind, my friend Zie (my go-to gal for all things beauty) and I decided to buy some contact lenses for our photo shoot. Unboxing and Design Mix-Up In my excitement to try them on, I went a little overboard and accidentally destroyed the metallic cap with a pizza knife when opening the package—oops! So, I don’t have a picture of the lenses in their bottles. To add to the hilarity, we ended up ordering the wrong designs. Silly us! 😄 What I got was the one in gray and yellow. The brand is elite contact lens. Super Dolly Series 18 mm Effect The package includes free case . Product Details Series : Super Dolly Diameter : 18 mm effect Package Includes : Free lens case Comfort and Longevity Here’s a snapshot of me wearing the contacts: I’m pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are to wear!

Review: Fanny Serrano Concealer

-

I had the Fanny Serrano (FS) concealer in cashew from my recent mini haul.  It is regularly sold for P350.  Good packaging. I like this type better than the one you squeeze out of tubes. The problem with this type of packaging is that it is unhygienic. BEFORE and AFTER. The concealer is a little cakey that explains the roughness on the first photo (referring to the first eye photo). I found this one cake-y. I love my Krave and L.A Girl HD concealers better than this one. Eventually, I end up applying my FS concealer over my lids, as primer, and around my eyebrows. Anyway, the concealer did its job improving my eye bags.The first photo is a little bit darker than the second. I know it's hard to tell because I have a weird eye circles. Their not puffy and dark but it surely is big with the lines extending downward.  I just got to know what to do in order to apply it smoothly over my eye circles. Will I repurchase? I love FS products sadly, not this one. -End-
