[REVIEW] 1028 Advanced Whitening Essence Foundation SPF30 PA++

Quick Review on 1028 Advanced Whitening Essence Foundation SPF30 PA++

Packaging - comes with a dropper in glass bottle but personally we prefer tube type. Some prefer dropper because it makes it easier to control the amount of the product.

Coverage - Very good compare to 1028 CC Cream

Texture - 'drier' and thicker type if compare to 1028 CC Cream, tips - use brush to apply for more natural finish. It is not easy to use fingers to apply due to the texture.

Staying power - Long lasting and better than 1028 CC Cream.

Sunscreen properties - SPF30++ , lower than 1028 CC Cream which has SPF50++

3 CONCEPT EYES 3CE Pore Silky Balm Review

3 CONCEPT EYES 3CE Pore Silky Balm

Love the after use feel it gave ...very smooth and silky and it does a bit of oil control and feel that make up or sun block stay longer before it gave methe oily face.

We have try it and love it!

Some people does complain that it leaves crumbles all over the face! And we do experience that too sometimes, we found that this is mainly due to the moisturizer you used before using the Pore Silky Balm. Try to experience it yourselves with different skincare, and you will be able to find a skincare that can works well with this balm.

1. Scoop the balm using the spatula
2. Gently rub it all over the face
3. Use the puff to apply balm and let the balm melt into face.

Scent - Light floral soapy smell
Finish - Silky, soft, smooth & non sticky








This is how looks like after few months usage:

Dr. Wu Intensive Renewal Serum with Mandelic Acid Review

Dr. Wu Intensive Renewal Serum with Mandelic Acid 18% Review

Mandelic acid is an acid that derived from bitter almonds, thus it is also known as almond acid. Due to its antibacterial properties, it has a long history of use in medical but in recent years many skincare products have benefited by putting this acid as one of the product ingredient. Many claim that mandelic acid is excellent in treating acne, anti-aging, wrinkles, sensitive skin and sun damaged skin, refine skin texture and improve skin elasticity.

With all the good benefits claimed, it is hard for us to not to give this a try! Bought this serum in Taiwan.

Dr. Wu Intensive Renewal Serum with such a high acid percentage - Mandelic Acid 18% didn’t leave us with any skin peeling effect, which we feel that this is good. We don’t feel any tingling or irritation effect after putting it onto the face. The product did claim that “It is okay & normal to have irritation during the initial usage”.
In terms of moisturizing effect, we don’t feel it after used. So it is important to follow up with a moisturizer such as Dr. Wu Daily Renewal Lotion with Mandelic Acid (for rough and sensitive skin) or any other moisturizer after the mandelic acid serum.

Texture – just like water, very runny makes it a little difficult to apply to the skin
Packaging – Serum dropper, which is really perfect for such a runny texture product.
Usage – Only use 2-3 times a week
Smell – Almost no smell. No fragrance. If your nose is sensitive enough, you may smell some mild 'sour' or acidic smell.
Effect – no peeling, no dryness(possible this is due to we have very oily skin), no irritation, but leave us a brighter skin. Noticeable acne reduction.
What make Dr. Wu Mandelic Acid serum different from others?
Dr. Wu Intensive Renewal Serum’s uses several patented technologies and its formula contains Sodium Hyaluronate, Tinocare GL (Beta-Blucan) and Biophytex which can be easily absorbed by the skin to facilitate hydration and reduce dark spot and freckles.

Finally, you must be discipline enough to use this 2-3 times weekly continuously in order to see effect. What we can see for now is the freckles have lighten and skin looks brighter however we still haven’t see noticeable finer and smoother skin and improve skin elasticity yet. We do notice our adult acne have been significantly reduce but need to monitor this closer. J

** Note: It is advisable not use other acidic product such as salicylic acid, etc while using this mandelic acid treatment.

ELF Studio Stipple Brush Review

E.L.F. Studio Stipple Brush Review 

This is an affordable brush and makes any liquid application a breeze, it works so well with sunblock, bb cream and foundation. It leaves our face with airbrush and matte look, really addicted to this brush. Currently it is our favourite brush that we cant live without it. We prefer to use ELF Studio Powder brush for powder because we found it a bit messy to use powder with Stipple brush.



This is how to "Stipple"~


Directions:
1. Tap the brush with some product and start stippling it on the face
2. You can also use swiping direction but we prefer stippling.

Pros:
1. Affordable
2. Great and amazing flawless application & airbrush look for daily makeup routine
3. Does not shed so far
4. Easy to wash, dry and maintain compare to ELF Studio Pointed Foundation brush
5. Does not soak/absord too much of product

Cons:
1. Not as dense as expected

Do remember to clean your brush frequently. :)

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm(Pink Blossom)

Here are the comparison for 3 different types of Burt's Bees Lip Balm

Overall, each Burt's bees lip balm serves a different function for me, Lip Shimmer is the closest to a lipstick but the color not as pigmented as lipstick. Even though, it is called Lip Shimmer, don't get frighten by the word "SHIMMER", it does not has a lots of shimmer. If I want a lip balm without changing the color of my lips, Rejuvenating Lip Balm will be my choice, I also love to use it overnight for a soft lips the next morning. As for the tinted lip balm, this is the softest lip balm I ever used. As you can see there is already a hole at the center of the lip balm, meaning it is going to finish soon, that's proves that how much I love it :)

Shills Cherry Blossom BB Cream Product Review

Shills Cherry Blossom BB Cream Product Review

The product review is solely based on our own opinion on the product that will not represent any party or organization.


 Before apply Cherry Blossom BB Cream


 Step 1: Squeeze a small amount of BB cream



Step 2: Spread the BB cream by using fingers/makeup sponge


Difference after first layer of BB cream


Scent: light floral smell
Texture: dilute and thin
Coverage: low to moderate but coverage can be increased with multiple layers.
Oil Control: good
SPF: NA
Lasting/Staying Power: last about 4-5 hours indoor
Finish: Dewy, matte and a little bit of pinkish
Price: cheap
Packaging: Bad, the black color tube looks very dirty when the BB cream is all over the opening.Color: light beige (suitable for fair to normal)


Overall comment
This Shills BB Cream is thin and more hydrating and it will not make you feel uncomfortable and sticky after wearing it. It will leave the face looks ghostly white if you apply a thick layer in the beginning but after few minutes the BB cream will blend into your skin color and give you a fair and pinkish color because of the shimmer.

Its definitely worth the try. BB Cream beginners, this is formulated for you! because it has a thin texture and easy to apply on the face and with an affordable price.
