Quick Review: Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake in Organza

Ola everyone! Im baaaaaaaaaaack!!! I'm back for another quick review! I know I've been so busy lately that it took me forever to update my blog. But anyway, it's already 10 p.m. and my brains wouldn't want to sleep at all. Haha! That is why I am spending this little energy left just for blogging.  Really, I have tons of things to share to you guyz but i just don't have much time to blog about it.

FS Two Way Cake

I know you are familiar with this item. A lot of makeup bloggers/gurus were raving about this Foundation! And now I am definitely one of them! I am giving my two thumbs up for this foundation. Why?

1. Coverage

* Awesomeness! - Medium to High Coverage. Has a smooth and matte finish. It could cover skin imperfections. Staying power is very very good! And I just love the smell!. I am just sooooo glad I purchased this foundation. This is actually the 2nd time I purchased this (yeah kazie hits the pan!). It's available in 7 shades. Mine is Organza! And Good Oil Control.  

2. Packaging
The new packaging is another plus! I just love it! Very decent packaging. Sleek and looks classy. Yay! =) I admit that the previous packaging wasn't that good - the mirror was a little bit hassle to check as it is placed under the foundation. So just imagine flipping the foundation from time to time just to check yourself in the mirror. But that was before, they actually improved the packaging now. I just sooooo love it!

3. Price
Yes, for 399 pesos only. Amazing right?

I also love their SA's, very accomodating and friendly! I am just happy they gave me the exact foundation shade for me. 

MY RATING

Makeup Foundation Catastrophes

"The other mistake that women usually do is wearing foundation that is too light or too dark for your skin. Too dark foundation will make you look older, while the base that’s too light will make your face look gray and unnatural."

This is sooo true. We should take time to check if our foundation match our skin tone. I myself admit that I made this mistake before - using a foundation that is too light than my complexion/skin tone. But I am now careful and cautious of this common mistake we all do. We don't want to look like a ZOMBIE or a Geisha right?

 

So I found this blog. Very informative. I just want to share this. Ladies, take time to read this..

  My fave face powder ever! I always bring this with me (a must in my make up kit..).

PRODUCT INFO:

I have Combination/Oily Skin. This powder does a great job in absorbing/controlling oil. It's oil free!

My skin is noticeably smooth and flawless. It is very pigmented.It won't clog pores. 
No break-outs for me!

* UV protection SPF18*

extra protection to my skin. Yay!

 
 *Packaging*

durable! 

Available locally. You can even find this in grocery stores.. (though, you cannot test them out... it would be best to check this product on Maybelline Counters at SM Dept Store.. they have samples and sometimes, they are on sale.. hehehe) Sorry I forgot the price really.. I think it's 199 pesos only? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Quick Review: REVLON Colorstay Foundation

 This is my favorite foundation!

REVLON COLORSTAY FOUNDATION  in (150) BUFF

SWATCHES

Why I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION sooooo much?
- It gives me the coverage that I absolutely need! It provides Medium to Heavy coverage and it is blend-able.
- No need for concealers! It covers spots!
- Perfect for my Combination/oily skin type!
- Superb staying power! It is really "COLORSTAY".
- It is affordable and available locally, though with limited shades, you can still find a way to work it out (like if the shade is lighter than your skin tone - then set it with a darker shade of powder foundation)
- with SPF 6
- Love the packaging.
- Does not feel heavy on skin.
- Non-cakey!
- A little goes a long way!


CONS?
-NONE!

But there are things you need to know and it's not that bad at all
- You'll surely don't like the smell of it. But hey! It's not that important and it will be gone once applied..
- No pump.
- It easily dries up.
- It won't remove by just using a facial cleanser alone. Make up remover/oil is needed.

Quick Review: NICHIDO True Colors Liquid Foundation with sunscreen

I love Liquid Foundations! I love how I could easily apply liquid foundations using a sponge or a brush.. Two things I want for a liquid foundation are the coverage and the staying power... Nichido, a local make up line offers good and affordable make up products... and as I checked their counter at Watsons, I found this...

 NICHIDO TRUE COLORS LIQUID FOUNDATION with sunscreen

Shade: Natural

 product info on the bottle and packaging....

 swatches...

************

What I like about this product:

*  Light Coverage (it won't really cover blemishes - concealer is needed)

* Sunscreen!

* It is water based.

* Doesn't cake (as long as you set it with powder)

* It provides natural satin finish (description is true!)

* a little amount goes a long way.. 

* The bottle packaging and the pump. Totally Hygienic!

* Affordable! It's only 268php for 30ml! Cool!

... i don't like

* the sunscreen smell! 
* Staying power is not really that good. It won't stay that long. 
*Texture is a bit sticky.

* It quickly dries up when you apply it using your hands. I recommend using a sponge when you apply this foundation.
