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



 
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
       
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 =)

(I’ll make a more detailed review on the “Help Me” retinol cream with my application and all soon)

  2. I'm liking the BB cream but how disappointing that it gives a white cast! So promising too since it's "HD".

  4. retinol(and its family) is great for anti-aging but also very effective for controling breakouts.
    i usually go for Avene range. they are quite affordable and effective. ;)

  5. Wow, I would love to try retinol. I have acne prone skin. D; .

  6. Very informative review! Did the retinol dry your skin out (badly) by any chance?

  7. The Face Shop bb cream sounds very promising! Sorry the Body Shop makeup remover didn't work for you. I think TBS is sort of hit-or-miss with their products. Better luck next time! =)

  8. Thanks for this haul and quick review of the products! :) Anyway, I haven't tried any BB creams yet 'cause I'm scared that they'll cause breakouts.. :( I guess I'll first try The Face Shop's since I have quite a few red areas on my face.. :)

  21. I've always wanted to try the Philosophy cream but the price kindof deters me away :/. Awesome reviews and thanks for looking at my blog! :3 Following ya! <3

  22. Retinol creams/serums are rather costly! I tried the ROC Retinol Night Cream and can only wear it about 2-3 times a week cause it irritates my skin. It's gradually getting less irritable with my skin getting used to it.

    Thanks for the reviews!

  29. Hi! What do you think of the Face Shop bb cream now? Is it still worth to try? Does that bb cream oxidize quickly?
