Sofina: Primvista Ange Long Keep Base UV

I bought this from Taiwan's Watson's last year as it comes with cute Hello Kitty recycle bag. 

Just couldn't resist the kitty design. It comes with the powder as well but I don't use much make-up these days so I hardly use it. 

Look at the lower part of my hand and you can see this fake white and the texture is pretty bad for a makeup base. As I am fairly white, after applying this, I feel that I looked like ghost plus the colour is so fake and it kind look like it cracks between the lines and gaps of my skin. Imagine all the lines, smile lines, double eyelid, below the eyes, all over the face with uneven tone and super fake white look. Which is why I rather show you my hand in the picture as example. 

Definitely this will be the first and last time that I am using this brand's make up products. It's now in the bin after these photoshoot. 😜 

Rating: 1 out of 5, 1 more points for the cute kitty bag. Was wanting to put 0 without it.

I feel, don't waste your time and money on it, knowing there is a high chance you would regret after buying.

Skin79 - Super+ Beblesh Balm

The Skin79 Super + Beblesh Balm (BB Cream) is one of the best match BB Cream for my skin type and color tone. Although they have many in their range, this is my favourite as it blends into my skin perfectly and doesn't dry my skin. When used just on top of a moisturizer, it works best together with some loose powder, gently pressed on my skin with a powder puff.

Otherwise, it works well without loose powder if applied after the Makeup Base from Taiwan Magic Shop too. With this combination, it will be a more moisturized effect and doesn't crease the skin even after long hours of wearing it. Despite the price (close to $40 SGD), I'd buy it again when I finished using it. With this type of packaging, my lesson learnt is that it's best that I buy it from Singapore so that in case it really doesn't work, I can go back to find the shop to change for another bottle. Haha..

But of course, the BB cream comes out from the bottle smoothly after just a few pumps and it's simply great!

Makeup Base - Taiwan Magic Shop

The makeup base from Taiwan Magic Shop is so far the best that I had used in my life. With the demo that I mentioned in my previous post, it is this particular product that's creating the magical effect of smooth foundation application. It provides my skin with a superb smooth surface which is perfect for a makeup base, to prepare it for either BB cream finish or normal foundation finishing.

The feeling after applying this makeup base when I touched my skin is.. Wow.. it's actually so smooth to touch and my fingers almost just glide through! It has a slight powdery effect after I finished my application which is pretty similar to the "Skin Refinishing Lotion" from Amway Artistry. But of course, the usage is totally different. It's now an important part of my usual morning makeup routine.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars! It's just a pity that it's only sold at Taiwan.. so that means I need to go there to buy again when I ran out. I wonder how long will it last me per bottle.

Mousse Foundation - Taiwan Magic Shop

The mousse foundation from Taiwan Magic Shop somehow doesn't seems to be as great as what the sales person had described it to be, especially when it was used alone by itself on top of other moisturizer brands. It was after I used the makeup base that I finally realized what's the magic behind that "better" makeup which she demonstrated on me. 

However, even when I did apply this product with the makeup base, it wasn't as "magical" as how the sales person had presented to me. It's pretty much diluted in a way and the color was pretty yellowish with no coverage at all. So I though to myself, if that's the case, what's the difference between applying this and not applying anything at all? And I gave up on the product. Luckily, I only bought 1 bottle to give it a try :D

Pearl Whitening Eye Mask - Asily

This particular Eye Mask is bought during my Taiwan trip. It's pretty moisturizing and easy to use. However, the downside is that because of the way the mask is being designed, it's a solid gel stick which I'm to stick up just below my eyes. Such mask material is pretty cooling in nature, which might make it work better but it doesn't stick to my skin very well. It tends to glide off the intended location pretty often.

I'll still prefer the usual eye mask that sticks better although they are not as cooling but I won't need to keep adjusting it back. As just a slight gradient in my position does make it glide off my skin. Not sure if it's because I did apply my usual moisturizers prior to using the mask, so the moisture on my skin is too wet to hold it still.
