Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base


Hello Beauties!!

We see again girls and I'm sorry for a late review. I have been busy lately even though I really miss to make a new review on my stuffs. Okay, since I got one requested review on makeup primer by one of my friends and today I'm glad to review on Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base.

This is my first makeup base and I purchased it several years ago. Why I choose Bobbi Brown? Simply because I trusted this high-end brand's performances and I want to feel the experiences by myself. You can get this little cute jar by RM 185 (50ml) and it can function as a moisturizer cum primer. Good!!

A BOBBI BROWN BEST SELLER

Bobbi's says:

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. Rich in feel, but never greasy, this advanced oil-free, face moisturizer, with Shea Butter helps minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. With daily use, skin looks and feels its best. Bobbi recommends this moisturizer to prepare skin for the smoothest makeup application. Carrot Extract and Vitamin A Complex help minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamins C and E help protect against environmental damage. Grapefruit and Geranium fragrances leave a light, uplifting scent on skin. Dermatologist-tested.

BH says:

Oh!! The smell is so damn good and I love it!! The texture is gel based cream and has a very light yellow color. I can consider it as good for primer face and really hold makeup for long wearing.. I just need a small amount for the entire face however i can feel it so rich and creamy into my skin. Please don't over applying it because you just need to build a thin layer only. It really works with Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation..Superb!!
 
This can be used alone or with a moisturizer. It's used to fill in lines and have your makeup last. Despite, some women tend to use it as a moisturizer or vice versa. But it depends on individual and how their skin reacts to it. It gives instantly hydrates, cushions skin and good for daily use.


PROS
  • Never caused breakouts
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Nice scent 
  • Moisturizer cum primer
  • Good for sensitive skin
  • The little jar can go a far
  • Dermatologist-tested
  • Hydrates and softens skin
  • Suitable for daily usage 
  • Prolong makeup
  • Provides a smooth canvas to apply makeup
  • Poreless looked

CONS
  • The texture too creamy and rich
  • Pricey

I totally recommended for people who have a dry skin and for Malaysian don't apply it too much since the weather here is hot. Good Luck Everyone!

BYE!

Shiseido Hydro-Nourishing Softener


Hello Girls!!


Welcome back to Beauty House and now I'm reviewing on  basic skincare lines from the Shiseido brand which is Hydro-Nourishing Softener. I had been using the softener since I found many good feedbacks upon it and why not I just give it a try.


To make it clear, softener is like a toner and the function is basically are same but softener is more than just a toner. As I'm having a combination sensitive skin, so I thought this one was really helping
to balance my skin's condition better.





Shiseido says:

A dual-action hydrating and exfoliating lotion that transforms the skin's texture in an instant. Improves clarity, radiance, and moisture retention. It is suitable for all skin types.


BH thoughts:

A really good softener!! YES it!! And its worth every penny!!. I had bought it for RM 145 at Shiseido's counter. Despite containing alcohol and parabens inside but it still not exceed the limits and safe to use. Actually parabens is essential in any cosmetic or skin care products as it functions as preservatives.


Otherwise, it helps me to improve my skin texture and heal the pimples to soothe it back to normal. The SA told me to pour some softener on facial cotton and dabbed on an affected area. Amazing!! It did!! And it's also good for sensitive skin like me and I'm glad it doesn't cause me any breakouts!!  
( Don't you ever dare to add any problems onto my skin! ) 


It does all it claims on the website. I admit that the softener is awesome and there is no astringency when I rubbed it onto my entire face. It claims that it does exfoliating job too and that is why this skin care lines do not come out with any form of scrubs. However I found that I still need to use a scrub to remove a dead cells on my face especially around the nose area (Stubborn Blackhead..HaHa).


PROS**
  • Gives the hydrating effects
  • Remove dirt efficiently if cleanser loose it
  • Improves moisture retention to a balanced level
  • Improves clarity and radiance skin
  • Suitable for all skin types even sensitive skin (maybe not work for extreme sensitive)
  • Never cause breakouts
  • Refresh the tired skin

CONS**
  • Contains alcohol
  • Pricey
  • Not so good in exfoliating job (Still need a scrub) 

Finally, this one of the best product I had tried out and you will never regret using it. This is my personal review and maybe it is not the same with other skin condition. 


Till Then ~~

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation


Hello friends,



Review for today is on foundation. I consider myself as a fanatics on cover face foundation and that is why I'm always searching for the best one which suits to my skin. So, no wonder I have some collections of them and BB cream.

The most wonderful moments for me is when I'm visiting the beauty drug store but I can't get the chance lately due the strain of time. However, it can't stop me to share something with all my beloved readers and today's review is regarding Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation. This Foundation was in my listed dream last 3 years and I had bought it for RM 169 at Bobbi Brown's counter in Johor.


Sorry for the natural brightness effects!

Bobbi Brown says :

A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup. This long-wearing formula evens tone, minimizes the appearance of pores, conceals imperfections, and offers broad spectrum UV protection. Its hydrating technology leaves skin feeling cushioned, comfortable, and clean. Ideal for all skin types.


BH says :

Since I'm a neutral makeup kind of girl and would go for some glowing and flawless effects in everyday wear, so I prefer this liquid foundation with added sun protection, SPF 15 PA+. I swear that the color shades are most suitable for Asian skin tone and I picked sand shade which has a nice yellowish color. But the varying shades caused me a problem in order to make a  perfect decision.

Sincerely say, Bobbi Brown always gives a high performance for their users and it was up to my expectation especially in color of shades and invisible coverage. The foundation is weightless and it gives the stunning glowing on my face. However it can't hold longer compared to others long lasting foundation.


Squeezable Pump Bottle

No 2 - Sand Shade

See..Easy to blend with fingers


Can you see the differences~


**PROS 
  • Have a nice shade (Perfectly on my skin tone)
  • It can be blended easily with fingers/brush and not suitable with sponge (It sucked)
  • The coverage is sheer to medium
  • Suitable for daily wearing and contains SPF 15
  • Never caused me any breakout ( Thumbs up!!)
  • Available at Malaysia's drugstore
  • 30ml - It can be last for a year and maybe more than my estimation
  • Weightless and I felt like never wearing anything on my face     
**CONS
  • Pricey
  • Not long lasting as it claims
  • Watery liquid foundation
  • Need to cover with concealer if I faced terrible scars

In conclusion, I recommend it to whom prefer nude makeup style..and seriously I will not and never applying it for a party or a day which requires me to expose under the sun/outdoor activities!!

Bye..

The Body Shop ~ Wild Cherry Body Scrub


Hi Girls and Good Evening!!

Today review is about Wild Cherry Body Scrub from Body Shop brand. I just bought the travel size pack which is 50g only. I caught in sales after I had a window shopping with my friend and I grabbed this one just only rm24. The actual price for 200ml is RM59.90.



The cute scrub is hiding, hehe

The Body Shop claims:

This exfoliating body scrub contains real wild cherry seed oil. It leaves skin soft and smooth.
  • Removes dead skin cells
  • Stimulates skin microcirculation
  • Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth

BH says:

Yeah!! This scrub has a gentle exfoliating scrub enriched with tantalizing of wild cherry. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and it's really remove the dead cells on the surface of my skin. Every time after applying it, my skin soft like a baby's skin..Wow..And the bonus here is the exfoliates do not melt away into the skin and they stay as long as you don't shower them off. So, users can rub them as long as they want. Caution for sensitive skin there, please don't rub them too hard cause it might damage your delicate skin and give an irritation.

From my point of view, this scrub can be considered as an average scrub since it functions like any other scrubs that I used before. An added advantage can be given for the fresh scent of cherry. I love it!! However sometimes I thought the smell was too strong.

I love the products which can add a glowing effect onto my skin and sadly say this product can't. Otherwise, I need to apply it more than usual scrubs as the exfoliants too tiny for me.


Wild Cherry Body Scrub


It is too cute in travel size

Love the Colour!!

Nice !

Do you can see the seeds there?

The overall rating is good and I will repurchase this item. So girls, waiting for my next review on other stuff..Sorry, I have been very busy lately.

See Then~
