Make-up Review: Silkygirl Magic BB Water Gel in 02 Radiant

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Apart from the pencil lipbalm, I decided to try a few of their products as well including this. So what I am expect from this BB Gel is that it provides sunscreen and moisture, it is easy to wash off and it fits my skintone perfectly. I know there's a lot of Korean BB Cream out there. My favorite currently is Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream but it is usually heavy so it was kinda hard to wash off with just a cleanser.

I know I should use a make-up remover than just a normal cleanser, but I don't really have the luxury to bring all my makeup removal routine to school. So this product is a great alternative for what you can say a tinted moisturizer.

Sorry for the blurry pic but you can see the color of the swatch clearly, the color is of a light-medium beige with a yellow tone, as you can see it is a little light, but when I applied it to my skin, the yellow tone of the cream helped it adjust to my skintone if that even made sense. 

Texture-wise, it is a watery gel and it blends out nicely like a moisturizer would do. This gel is not perfect for dry skin because it clings to dry patches. Overall, when you wear this out it would feel lightweight and soft, it dries down to a matte finish. The lasting power is what I expected it to be, it starts to get oily on the 4th hour. Although the lasting power is minimal, this is pretty much suited for me to use and wear it in school as I would be able to wash this off very easily.

This might not be or might be a repurchase for me, depends on whether I can find something better than this.

Want-it Wishlist : Natural Collection

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

It has been such a long time for me to have a Want-It Wishlist post and this has been in the draft for quite a few months already, so it's about time for me to post it up. Natural Collection is a budget cosmetic brand from UK. So as you can see I love UK products, only because I am able to purchase products that aren't available here through the help of my friend who studies there, so I will only get to see and receive the items that I've bought on their summer break.

Many raved about their blushes and I am planning to buy a few of them as I technically only have just 3 blushes and the souffle blush is running out fast! I do love the cream blush so much! :D So anyways, not only do I want to expand my blush collection, they are also affordable at GBP1.99 each, which is B$4+ roughly.

These are their lipglosses and some of you might notice that I'm not a big fan of lipglosses but I just don't like to spend more than $8 on lipglosses too, so I decided that I should try this one out next time when it arrives. If I do confirm on buying them, lol.

Pressed powders, I seriously don't know why I am not branching out to loose powders. I bring my pressed powder everywhere so loose powders are just too messy for my hectic schedule. So I would love to try out a cheaper pressed powder as I've been stuck in wearing Silkygirl's pressed powders for years now and I would love to try out new powders.

I'm a big fan of tinted moisturizers although I hardly wear it out public as I am a little bit paranoid as a blemish-prone person, tinted moisturizers won't cut it, but it's a nice little handy item to have as there are times when my blemishes are less visible or when I'm out and about in Miri as it's just a place where we would shop outside the border and there's hardly any people that recognizes me, lol. 

Make-up Review : Essence My Skin Tinted Moisturizer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Sometimes, I hate Essence, even my friends calls me the Essence Ambasaddor and they have a lot of things catered to every women in Brunei. I was lusting for tinted moisturizers, I don't care what brand it'll be, but looking for a tinted moisturizer in Brunei is not an easy task as people in Brunei, mostly wants brightened complexion hence, more whitening and brightening product is being brought to Brunei instead of moisturization.

So this tinted moisturizer is from the My Skin range, so it doesn't help you with any of your skin problems except giving moisture and light coverage.

As you can see, I've bought the medium to dark skin, it is actually a perfect match to my skin. Seriously a great match, although I would love it if it's a little lighter, but still, this is a great color for my skin. I even created a make-up routine for this, a real no make-up makeup routine, LOL!

As far as coverage, almost the same as the Pure Skin Tinted Moisturizer, it does help cover up any LITTLE redness I have and also, it does give a little coverage, but I do have a lot of prominent acne scars so, I don't really have any high hopes for it or any bb cream or foundation to give me a full coverage. I even also use this to mix this with my BB Cream as this seems to be a lightweight product and doesn't feel so heavy on the skin. 

Another thing about this moisturizer is that it smells delish! If you're the kind of girl who likes delicious scents so this might be for you as it screams peach pie in my case and if you like cooling sensation, you would love this too!

A repurchase? Well, I might repurchase this but I think it's better for me to buy the Pure Skin's Tinted Moisturizer version of this tone killing two birds with one stone, I'd say.

Make-up Review : Esssence Pure Skin Natural Cover Tinted Moisturizer for Lighter Skin

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

So I've been on a hunt for tinted moisturizers, I was going to buy the ELF's tinted moisturizer that has SPF in it, but I just can't seem to justify the price of a very small tube to satisfy my need for a tinted moisturizer, as ELF in Brunei is pretty much way too overpriced.

But thankfully, my favorite brand, Essence has actually launched the Pure Skin range and one of their products is the tinted moisturizer.

The product claims to fight spots and blackheads, gives a flawless complexion, mattifying and also oil free.

It comes with a lot of product, 50ml! I mean, most foundations and BB Creams would just give you less than 45ml of product, so I'm very glad!

It has the normal squeezy tube. 

As you can see, I've bought a shade for lighter skin, they only provide two shades ("Medium to Dark Skin" and "Lighter Skin") So what I can say from the shade is that, this does match me well, cuz when I wear makeup, I usually make the color of my foundation/BB Cream to be slightly lighter than my own skintone, so I don't really mind about the lightened look that it gave me.

So far, I've been so happy with the Pure Skin range, it does not break me out and for this Pure Skin tinted moisturizer, it does moisturize well, leaving your face matte but really soft, however, it does not have high oil-control, by 3-4 hours after using this, I would get a little oily but when combined with the My Skin Mattifying Cream, it will be very unstoppable!

Not only that, when you start to apply this to your face, you would have this very cooling sensation, very tingly and minty which I love so much cuz I feel so refreshed when applying this. It gives a very nice coverage for a tinted moisturizer, well it won't cover up your blemishes but it does reduce the appearance of your blemishes and also reduces redness.

Will I repurchase? Over and over, although it has a downside of no SPF but you can use sunscreen before the tinted moisturizer, but all the same a very good product for me! :D
