Skincare Review : Essence Pure Skin SOS Spot Killer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

On another review with Essence, well, I hope you aren't bored with it cuz these are the only things I've bought recently. Technically, this has been sitting in my draft for months. I bought this, hoping that it could help me with my search for the perfect zit-zapper. As I really like the toner because of the effect its giving me, I'd definitely be repurchasing the toner after I'm done with it and also the other refreshing toner from Essence.

SOS Spot Killer, I'm sorry girl as this has been sitting long in my drafts, so I can't really remember the ingredients. But there's no salicylic acid and no oxybenzoate. The two most coveted chemicals used to reduce breakouts, so of course, I'd be curious on how it fares with my Oxy 10.

It comes with an unpractical glass jar-like tube, it looks like normal lip gloss tubes but it was made of glass, if I unscrew or screw the top, it would screech, so I was afraid of its fragility. 

It comes with a brush applicator similar to nail polishes.

It gives of an off-white fast-drying liquid, and I don't even know why I bother to blend it out. But as you can see here, this is not something you can whip up when you're out and about.

I think, in terms of performance, it only slightly reduce swellings and redness, which isn't something I'm not looking for, I want it to be effective to zap zits. Since it contains alcohol, it is good for disinfecting wherever your pimples are located.

On another note, I haven't used this a lot, but I found out that if you do not close this off properly, the product will dry up.

Even if this thing is cheap, but it's just a waste of money if it doesn't do the job properly and doesn't even last that long in the bottle.

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
