Hauls + quick review : TFS BB cream, Philosophy, Rewind & The Body Shop

 

1) The Face Shop: Face it HD Perfect BB Cream      USD22   40grams

I don’t even know why I bought this because BB cream hates my skin. I broke out everytime I used BB cream regardless of brand. Anyway, I drop by TFS and tested all their BB creams and so far this is the only BB cream that can conceal redness/acne thoroughly. I chose the shade “Natural Beige” and I think the shade is just right for me.

 

 

Reviews:

·         Able to conceal redness/acne perfectly

·         Not heavy at all/ won’t clog pores

·         Love the semi glowy finish

·         Didn’t break me out *cross-fingers*

·         Would recommend this to people who have redness of skin and uneven skintone as this will be a great coverage on those areas

·         THE ONLY DOWNSIDE is it will create EXTREME WHITE CAST on FLASH PHOTOS! (-_-)” (because of the high SPF)

2)    Philosophy: Help Me Retinol Night Treatment             USD45  1oz

This is mad expensive but since I haven’t tried “retinol” related products yet so I decided to try this out. So far, loving this cream

Reviews:

·         Dries up pimples FAST! (overnight!)even cystic one!

·         Able to heal acne gradually around (7-14days)

·         Didn’t experience any discomfort such as burning or sting

·         Skin does turn red but only because I applied too much. (Remember to only apply small amount/pea-sized to affected areas ONLY)

·         Would definitely recommend to those people who suffers from Big cystic acne as it dries up fast and effectively

3)     The Body Shop: Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover      USD14.50    8.4floz            

I’m in search of a gentle remover and decided to get this one since the product itself

States that its “Camomile Gentle” remover.

Reviews:

·         Not gentle on eyes at all; accidently gets into my eyes and hurts so much

·         Unable to remove waterproof mascaras/eyeliner

·         Makes my skin red after using but subsides after few minutes

·         NOT A GOOD MAKEUP REMOVER AT ALL

       

4)     The Face Shop: Phytogenic Infinite Concealer Duo (NB21)     USD15  4.3g      

In search of a good concealer that can hide redness and acnes thus decided to get this duo.

            

   Reviews:

·         Able to conceal redness and acne perfectly

·         The cream stick might be a little drying but as long as you put moisturizer underneath, will not be a problem

·         The shade NB21 is just perfect for me, the color is light beige (no orangey effect unlike the usual concealers)

·         Finish is powdery so it is not that noticeable

·         Could last around 6-9hrs and still intact

5)    Rewind: Bi-Phase Makeup Remover    USD12

Love this make-up remover as it can remove all waterproof makeup thoroughly

·         Extremely gentle; even though I rub it vigorously on my eyes(though you shall NOT!) didn’t feel any discomfort

·         Not greasy at all

·         Overall, a wonderful make-up remover suitable for all skintypes!

·         I think its time for me to replace my good old Maybelline to Rewind Bi-Phase instead =)
