Foundation

I've combination/oily complexion. A formula for clogged pores, blackheads, excessive sebum etc. The good thing about having such complexion is lower tendency to have wrinkles or longer time required for wrinkles to show, a glow to the face rain or shine, no flakes. With my kind of complexion, it's tough maintaining foundation on my face. I've tried many and I've not found the perfect one yet. Perhaps I'm just too fussy.

Garnier BB Cream

This product is foolproof. I'm real bad when it comes to finding the right shade. I sucks at it. It blends into my face well and I can hardly tell I've foundation on.

Light coverage and so, it doesn't cover that well but hey! At least your face don't look plastic - a comment J gave me recently.

It only lasted me 3 hours. After that, you can see the shine in my T-zone.

Skin Food BB Cream

Fared slightly better than that from Garnier. Lasted for 4 hours plus. Blends well. Light coverage.

Lancome

Blends well, looks good, light coverage. Took around 4 hours for the shine to break through.

Revlon

Blends well, medium coverage. When I applied this, there's a smell which I cannot describe now. Cannot remember but there is a smell and during the first half of the day, I can still smell it on and off. No, it's not gone bad. I checked before I purchase!

4 hours later, very slight oil on my nose. 8 hours later, forehead and nose shines but not in excessive. Wah Sey! Holding power good man! The only problem is that I feel that over long hours, it doesn't look as fresh, as natural, as good when compared to the earlier 3 products. Aiya, I'm hard to please.

The Swatches...

L-R (Lancome, Skin Food, Garnier, Revlon)

I'm still in search of better liquid foundation. I've heard that both Estee Lauder and Bobbi Brown have good ones for oily complexions. Hmmm…

Skin Food

I went to purchase a new mobile @ AMK Hub on 1st September 2012. I've read from a blogger, raving about a product from Skin Food and so, I've decided to check it out.

Strips to get rid of blackheads and impurities from your nose, forehead AND chin! Talk about efficiency! I'm so excited, I got 2 packs!

 

That's not all... Is there even a possibility to head straight to the cashier, pay up and leave? No no no... Not for me at least. I ended up walking around. I've settled for nose, forehead and chin. What about my cheeks? I can't use the pink mask on my entire face forever can I? Even if I'd love to, I can't. Why? Simply because that's catered for the nose only! A few usage for my face is alright but in the long run, I don't think it's helping my skin very much. I'm afraid my skin will lose it's elasticity. Anyway, using a product which is not meant for a specific area is BAD... *bleats like a sheep*

 

I've yet to try this. It contains peppermint = cool sensation. Let me try it out on 5th September 2012. Stay tuned!

 

Shampoo and Hair Tonic

 

People who know me, know that I've issues with my hair. I've oily scalp and dry ends. The fact that my hair is fine isn't helping. I've tried hair treatments with Phyto, Trichokare, some other brands and they aren't helping at all! Why can't I have a crown full of healthy hair? I promise not to dye them... *big sigh* Oh well... again, I spent money buying Hope. Let's see how this pans out...

 

 

Since I've a BB cream from Garnier, I thought I should try this out. The former isn't oil control. After 3 hours, I believe you can find me in a dark room with the help of my shiny nose. MOMMY LOOK! IT GLOWS!!! Enough of my nonsense. Let's see if the BB cream is better from Skin Food. If yes, I can say adios to Lancome.

 

I can't believe I found these. You know most eye mask (sheet form) only covers your eye bags? I've yet to find one which covers the entire eyes. When I finally found it, I ended up getting 10 of them!

Buying just these stuff cost me at least 200 bucks! The positive side? I'm eligible to be a member! As if that's really a positive side. Pui! It's just a way to console myself... Anyway, I was given some freebies... See below:

Cotton Pads. Wah... as if I needed them. I can get a big chunk of it from Watsons.

 

A face mask. Haiz... so many in the fridge liaoz. Ended up dumping this into my 'bag of extras'.

 

More masks... Why got food de? Beats me.

Can give me voucher to some nice food restaurants instead?

 

So many products, just 1 face. ^^
