They say:

A moisturizing and brightening cleansing line with rice water and Moringa oil. Moringa oil known as 'purifying tree' in India has very strong detoxifying quality. People used to put grinded Moringa plant in the polluted river water to detoxify.

Description:

Contains rice water(10%) Fit Protein orchid extract Vitamin B5 complex. Its creamy and cushiony texture eases handling and moisturizing ingredients leave skin feeling hydrated after cleansing by minimizing moisture loss.


Personal Reviw:

I never get tired of using this facial foam, it's nice and lathers away impurities, make-up, and accumulation of daily and nightly facial oil. The scent is light and powdery..It has a creamy and smooth texture with moisturizing ingredients that leaves skin hydrated and soft. Just a small amount of it could cover up my whole face, so it would take a long time for me before I�ll buy another one again. Good for all skin types, I actually have a very sensitive skin and this product never fails me and instead it was better than I expected.

Product Review: Posietint

Posietint is the pink version of the most famous and bestselling, Benetint. When i first heard of this product, and saw the actual pic of it all over the net, i did a little research about it and look for a personal review of it. I saw that people prefer this over the predecessor that they're selling their half used product just to have this.

Personal Review:

-The bottle looks ravishing! It's coated with metallic pink finish that has a nail polish type applicator, which i find it easier to use. The product itself is somewhat creamy/milky, unlike benetint it has an inky texture. This is a product where less is most definetely more! A little of it goes a long way. The first time i tried using this, i put too much that i ended up looking like a clown.haha The pink effect of this blush fits to lighter skintones, it's buildable and imparts a nice glow after wearing for a couple of minutes. It also has a slight fragrance that smells really good on the cheeks. A really nice product but be cautious in applying, i tried putting 3 dots on my cheeks and it ends up the part on which i dotted becomes darker than the rest and it looks blotchy! Tried applying it in swipe but i ended up having a distinct stripe on my cheeks the whole day. So to make it even try putting in your fingers first before spreading it over your cheeks. It also strikes a nice balance between dewy and matte. So for people who has an oily skin be sure to dab a powder right after application. It also looks good on the lips, making it look natural with long lasting color that doesn't feel like wearing anything. The color of it makes you feel young, healthy & glowy.


Pros:

-The cream consistensy is a bit thicker and would give you enough time to spread it over your cheeks before it dries out.

-All natural look for both cheeks and lips.

- It really stays put all day.


Cons:

-The metallic finish on the bottle can chip off all over the place.

-The color of it doesn't compliment all skintones.


Overall Verdict:

-In all honestly, i personally like and prefer benetint rather than this. I'm not a big fan of a milky type and pinkish look since my natural blush is reddish tomato especially coming right after the gym. Though it's not my everyday blush, still it would look great in some occasions. Like the time when i want to have this barbie doll look, this blush would surely fit and suit my look and for my lips to get this baby pink pout. But i really admire this product as it provides just the right amount of color.

Product Review: Faceshop Brightening Rice Cleansing Water

Hi ladies! as you all know that it's a must for everyone to take their makeup off after a long hours of wearing it..and of course before going to sleep!!!! I really can't see the importance of it before until one day i started to noticed clog pores and my skin is starting to break out! I used to sleep with my makeup on cause i'm so lazy to remove it...i know i know..it's a big No-No but can't really blame myself especially if there are times that i'm about to collapse on my bed and i don't have the strength to take it off. And so when i'm starting to look for some mild makeup remover on "Faceshop" i decided to try their Brightening Rice water.:) I love that line! I already bought their brightening facial foam.


They say:

-Formulated with the traditional rice water once used by woman of the korean royal court, this concentrated cleansing water gently removes makeup while softening skin.


Directions:

-Moisten Cotton pad and gently wipe over entire face. Rince thoroughly with warm water.


Pros:

-It really removes all my makeups and accumulated dirt and oil.

-It leaves my skin smooth and soft.

-The fragrance is nice, no funky smell.


Cons:

-The pump type packaging makes it really hard to control the amount to be put on the cotton..that lots of times it exceeds and the rest would go waste

-I can't put it in my overnight bag and must be displayed upright or else it would leak.


Oerall Verdict:

-I really love this product! it's perfect and it can be used daily coz it does contain natural and mild ingredients that won't irritate the skin. This makeup remover can be used only for mild makeup applications, and heavier than that would be really hard to remove it all..so they also have the "Brightening Rice Cleansing Oil" for removing heavy makeups.:) And since i'm not putting on a lot on my face, this would be just perfect for me. It's widely available and you won't be missing this stuff! Once you tried it, believe me..there will be a second time of purchasing it! A bottle would last you long since you won't be needing a lot to have your makeup removed, just a generous amount of it and off you go! Better learn to control the pumps otherwise you'll end up having a soaked cotton balls.


Tips:

-Swipe using cotton pads/balls in upward motion, cause doing it the other way around has the tendency of wrinkling your skin or the danger of getting it sagged.

Review: Benefit Benetint

My second review of benefit benetint! Didn't give much elaboration on the first one so i decided to make another for more details.:) Well, I've been using this product for a year and now on my second bottle...I can say that it's one of the best blush i have used! Without a doubt, It was voted "best blush" by Elle magazine in 2006 and was feautured in some magazines for being the best product.

I was pretty amazed the first time i used this, i was using tarte flush and bodyshop lip&cheek tint before and was satisfied with it until i tried this "Award winning and Benefit's best selling product", I was hooked instantly and become a fan of it!!!! At first i resisted to purchase this blush because of the hefty price tag. But the idea looks so promising, i gave in after hearing everybody saying this as the best lip & cheek tint in the market. And they're absolutely right! And now,i have my third bottle waiting when my second one runs out.:)

What I Love About It:

This "sexiest flush you can get from a bottle"has a naturally sheer and sexy on all complexions is buildable from the sheerest application to a bright flush. It work wonders on the lips too, It gives my lips a very natural red tint that suits in any occasion. Just by bringing a bottle of it can give you a pretty look that won't be needing a lot of makeup on. It has an overwhelming scent of roses, that smells pretty good on my cheeks, but it's a bit weird if i put it on my lips coz i can taste the rose petal of it-but i'm already used to it! so no problem bout that.

My second bottle.:)

<

The Applicator resembles the brush of a nail polish.:) isn't cute??

Directions:

Apply three dots to the apples of your cheeks and blend quickly with fingertips. Add a few more dots for deeper color.

Pros:

-It stays put for a long time! A record for more than 24 hours of wearing it and the bright flush is still there.:)

-It has a water consistency that can easily absorbed by skin to prevent the greasy feeling after application.

-A bottle can lasts you a long time.

Cons:

-The glass container, it has danger for it to be shattered or broken if not handled properly.

-If the benetint isn't capped tightly it will leak all over your purse or makeup case, but if you do capped it too tightly the plastic lid will cracked ruining the sealing mechanism..you won't be able to bring it anywhere with you.

-Rose Extract: Some people may be allergic to it, be cautious and know the ingredients first.

-Pricey, 12.5ml bottle for $28

Tips & Tricks:

-It get dries quickly so blend it asap coz it may look uneven.

-Use a gloss after applying benetint on your lips, to prevent your lips from cracking or drying out.

-Don't use if you're suffering from acne/pimple, it will magnify it.

-Suitable for fair/medium skin tone.

Overall Verdict:

I'm head over heels with this blush! You just need to learn the right technique and you'll surely fall in love with it. I always apply benetint to awaken my complexion, the color looks good and natural on my skin. As for the lips, it has an effect of "eating a cherry popsicle stick". It clings on pretty good, and with it's long lasting effect i won't be needing to go to the bathroom for touch-ups from time to time. It's sheer tint gives you an innocent yet provocative glow that will surely will keep everone guessing “what has she been up to?”. Overall, I'm rapt with this product!

Reviews: Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Palette.:)

I was drawn to this product while surfing and looking for some eyeshadow palettes over the net, so I bought this Coastal Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette.as soon as possible. And now I am so addicted with it!!!!!:) it is unbelievably cheap and at the same time smooth and highly pigmented. The colors are so vibrant and it really standout. I am so impressed with it’s long staying power, I wore these eyeshadows for more than 10 hours and it doesn’t crease or fades. With great arrays of colors to choose from, you can experiment with it. The moment I got this palette I immediately tried playing with it, tried to mix the colors and the result of it leaves me extremely satisfied. For a good quality palette with an affordable price, it really exceeded my expectation. I only wish I had find out about this product earlier were I attended lots of parties and social events, and this eyeshadows would be great during those times. I love this palette so much, it would be a great gift to somebody who is just starting using cosmetics or a professional makeup artist.:)

Product Review: Jones Soda Co. Turkey & Gravy Lipbalm

Jones Soda Co. is known as a U.S Beverage Company that distributes soft drinks, non-carbonated beverages, energy drinks, and candy. They have been known to have carbonated drinks with unusual flavor that other soft drink companies doesn’t offer. They also come up with Non-Beverage products such as this lipbalm. It’s a limited edition that features UV-A and UV-B protection, SPF 15, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin E. I’ve been dying to get my hands on this lipbalm but unnfortunately it was too expensive, but I’m still looking for bargains. Well, as I was reading some of the reviews regarding the flavor of this balm, they say that it smells like turkey and mashed potatoes- oily, greasy, and starchy. Kinda weird for a lipbalm, but for a balm collector, it’s like winning trophy. The novelty of this product is so intriguing that it would be an excellent collection. Other available flavors are: Green Apple, Fufu Berry, Orange & Cream, Strawberry Lime, Cream Soda, and Blue Bubble Gum. Hopefully I could manage to get hold of one.

Product Review: Bath & Body Works Temptations Frozen Daiquiri 3 in 1 Body Wash & Body Lotion

I'm currently using Bath & Body Works Temptations Frozen Daiquiri 3-in-1 Body Wash, Bubble Bath, & Shampoo, and Bath & Body Works Temptations Frozen Daiquiri Body Lotion.:) An early Christmas present given by myself.haha Anyway, as i was surfing over the net, I spotted this product and i got so curious with it, so without having a second thought i purchased one at ebay(here goes my impulsive buying habit again..haha). The first time i used the 3 in1 body wash and lotion.. i was in heaven..The scent is a mix of milk and strawberry, and a lil bit of Champagne. Somewhat making it smells like tequilla rose, but it's more like a scent of Strawberry Smoothie. The scent of it is so sweet but not overpowering, and it lasts longer than i expected. For the body lotion, Just a small amount of it could cover up my whole arms and legs leaving my skin soft and moisturized. The 3 in1 body wash never fails to make me excited while taking a bath. I haven't tried it as a shampoo and bubble bath yet, but as for the body wash it was yummy, and it made a good lather!!!! I'm so overly impressed with these products, It smells good enough to eat. But sadly it's pretty expensive. But that wouldn't stop me from buying it again.:)

Product Review: Cosmetic Lenses

I'm currently using Geo Angel Brown.:) Bought this at around 1100 from a multiply seller. This contact lens is disposal for 1 year. Worth the price.:) I just love the "enlarging eye effect" of it. As you can see, the halo part makes the iris appears bigger, no need to use eyeliner to make your eyes looks ravishing. Comfort wise, it doesn't dry easily and sometimes i worn it for more than 10 hours without having my eyes irritated. I chose this color because of it's natural look. These lenses are best fit for asian. Planning to buy more colors for some time, i love to indulge myself to the beauty of these contact lenses:)

Product Review: Benefit That Gal

I bought this product for the reason of it's good reviews, and i was so intrigue with it's brightening effect. This product actually make my face smoother and brighter at the same time but in natural effect. I have to reapply every other hour because it doesn't stay put on my face for long because of the hot weather. It also moisturize the face, and definetely it's a big no-no for people who has oily skin. For application just twist the base until the primer is distributed on the top. Apply with fingertips onto the face. Blend this silky pink primer in an even, upward motion. This primer can be wear alone or as makeup base. It definetely covers the pores or blackheads, and it makes the face appear radiant with soft & silky finish. It is easy to apply, it's a silky liquid type so it can easily be spread and it absorbs instantly after application. The floral scent of it adds sexiness. It's a bit expensive, but definetely worth it.:)

Product Review: Too Faced Frozen Lotion

While i was browsing for Too faced cosmetics, i came across on this product. I was wondering how this thing works. So i bought one for myself and tried it. All i can say that it's cool!!! literally cool! When i apllied it on my arms i felt an instant cooling icy effect! While applying it, i can hear the crackling sizzling sound of it, not only it moisturize my skin but i also love the way it shimmers after applying it. A great lotion especially for Summer season. It's a great buy!!!!:)

Benefit Benetint-RoseTinted lip&Cheek Stain

Finally I have Benetint!:) I love this product so much! It gives me a perfect rosy glow. It's easy to apply, just apply 3 dots or swipe it in your cheeks then blend it quickly and Voila! It gives you a natural blush! You should also know how much to put on or otherwise you would end up looking like a clown. Benetint has a long staying power that can lasts you thrughout the day. As for the scent, benetint leaves a hint of rose on your cheeks which smells good. You can also put in your lips, it looks great but it's kinda weird because it taste like a rose petal. The product is a bit pricey but definetely worth it! It's like a trophy in my makeup kit, I would never leave the house without it.:)
