Benetint Review

Hello,

I haven't blogged in such a long time, I've been busy with many things like assignments and exams...
Anywaaaaays Benetint is a must have for the summer!
It has a lovely rosey smell!! I can't stop smelling it everytime I'm about to use it :P
And it really STAYS on all day!! Even when I go swimming in the pool!! It never goes away unless I remove it with a make up remover, so they really mean it when they say its waterproof.
I just apply a few dots on my cheeks and blend it with my fingers right away, it looks very natural and it gives a nice glow to the face.
I love using it every time I go out now that its summer time, especially to the beach or pool.
But the only thing I don't like about it is that it stains on my fingers after blending, even after washing my hands with soap and water.
Even though no one would want to have pink/red stains on their fingertips, atleast it really shows how good it is in terms of being waterproof lol.
Overall, I think that this is an amazing product! Definitely something I would buy again (after I finish the one I have), its really useful since its very hot and humid here where I am.

L'oreal True Match Foundation + Loose Powder

Hello :D

I have been hearing KandeeJohnson talk about the L'oreal true match foundation for a very long time, she always said that its on of her favorite foundations. I did not think about trying it until a while ago when I ran out of liquid foundation. I did not have much time to try a lot of foundations and decide that day, so I went to try the make-up forever HD foundation and I did not like it at alllllll!!! It made my skin look dry and did not blend in well at all. I was very surprised because all I hear about this foundation is how good it is, but I guess its different on everyones skin.

Anyways, this L'oreal foundation worked very well with me when I settled it in with the L'oreal mineral powder. It stayed for a very long time and it looked very smooth and natural. Especially that I applied it with the beauty blender!!!! It looked amazingg!! :D

I think it would work with any loose powder, the only thing I did not like about this powder is the brush that comes with it, its very rough. So, I applied it with my kabuki brush.

Tell me if you ever used one of theses products, what do you think of them?

What's your favorite liquid foundation or loose powder? 

:D

Gel Eye Liner

Bobbi Brown or Mac?



I have been using Mac gel liner for a long time, but recently, I noticed that its not good enough for me, it always dries up really fast (in its pot), since I got it & its not as dark as I want it to be.

Many have reccomended the Bobbi Brown gel liner and prefer it over the Mac, so I'm thinking of trying it out.

However, I also want to go back to using liquid liner.

I don't like pencil eye liners, I don't find them looking as neat when applying & they don't stay long enough

Which type eye liner do you use and what do you prefer?
What do you think of gel eye liners?

Dior Airflash Spray Foundation

hii ;D 

This is just my personal opinion on the Airflash spray foundation, I'm not a make up artist or anything like that. However, I have tried many foundations and this is the BEST one so far. It gives a nice finish and it fully covers any blemishes very well without looking fake, it stays on the face ALL day without getting wiped out. It also gives a nice, natural glow to my face & its so fun to apply. The only downside to applying it is that it might get to the hair, so I cover my hair before spraying it on my face and I have to wipe it off my brows if I spray any there by mistake. Its much neater to spray it then even it out with a brush, I have seen some people applying it without using a brush afterwards, this looks kind of messy.
What I do is I spray it on my face in the shape of letter "Z" or in a wavy motion, then I use a brush to spread it everywhere evenly, if I see that I need more, then I go ahead and apply more and even it out again. I learned how to do this myself after several attempts of finding out the right way of using it, then I found a youtube video that explains it.
I definitely think its a must-have, at least to try at first and compare with other foundations you use, there's a huge chance you'll go back to the air flash :p. This is the only foundation that I keep buying when I run out of it, although I don't use it everyday just because it takes more time to apply than a regular compressed powder foundation.

"Illuminating Finish Powder Compact Foundation"

Helloo

I've tried several foundations for a long time, and I could never find one good enough for everyday use. My top 2 foundations besides this one which is from Bobby Brown are from Mac and Dior (Air Flash). The powder foundation from Mac was too heavy and I felt bad for my skin when putting on this foundation, and the Dior Airflash took me a long time to apply so it wasn't suitable for everyday use. My friends recommended the HD foundation from make up forever for daily use. However, I ended up buying this one (Bobby Brown) when I could not find the Make up Forever store. I love this foundation! Thank god I couldn't find make up forever that day lol :P. Its amazing because its not too heavy for the skin, nor too light to fade off by the end of the day + SPF12. It covers up just right and its easy to apply! I still want to try the one from make up forever though, I might buy it after I finish with this one.
So whats your favorite foundation?

Make Up Forever brush

I've had this brush for about a year now and I think that its a MUST if ur the type of person whos always late.
Mostly, I don't get up on time every morning, whether its for uni or anything else, so I put on my make up in the car sometimes if I'm very late.
The brushes I used to use before buying this one were getting damaged because I used to throw them in my make up bag without anything to cover it, this brush comes with a case, so it will always stay safe and clean :P plus its very soft and nice to use =D
