Cai Mei Sheep Placenta Whitening Foundation Cream

 

Variant: Sheep Placenta Whitening Foundation Cream (Orange Cap and Box)

Net Weight: 70 grams

Price: Php35

Made in China

Blends well with the skin. Provides sheer coverage. Makes my skin soft upon application and a little goes a long way! Super value for the price! It has expiration date printed on the box. It has a light scent.

Been using it for a couple of days and I can say that it never irritated my oily sensitive skin :) I use this after I cleanse my skin and I just put powder to set it.

Pros:

• Make up and skincare in one!
• cheap
• Soft smooth skin upon application
• does not irritate my sensitive skin.
• the product itself is not oily (I tested it on blotting paper)

Cons:

• ingredients list is in chinese
• no spf (there's an english explanation about its benefits for the skin in the box but it doesn't say it has spf)
• my skin needs blotting after 2 hours.

Overall I like the Cai Mei Sheep Placenta Cream. Will try other variants soon!

NYX Slim Pencil Eyeliners

Net Weight: 1gram (0.04 oz) each
Made in Germany

These eyeliners are nicely pigmented (what you see in the pencil is what you'll get). My favorite is 917 Purple. You can get these on eBay for Php120 to Php150 each. A good substitute for eyeshadows when I want a simplier look. I hope I can have 1 or 2 more colors!

I was ignoring this before for I thought it will cause me breakouts because of its cheap price but finally I bought this and I was surprised. It's a pretty decent powder that is unscented. It doesn't make my face itchy and the beige shade fits my skintone. The box says that it has sunscreen protection. I don't have a problem with the packaging though it's a little old fashioned xD. 

Pros:

• cheap
• unscented
•  has sunscreen

Cons:

• nothing! :)

Price Watch: This is now Php99 in a new plastic box packaging.

CoverGirl CG Aqua Smoothers Make up

Shade: 725 Buff Beige
Net Volume: 30mL (1fl. oz liq.)
Made in USA

"Continually hydrates skin for 11 hours, helping skin look smooth and naturally beautiful."

 

This liquid foundation is for normal to dry skin. I have oily skin but I like wearing this sometimes when I don't like to have a matte finish. I only put a little so that I won't be really oily by midday. The formula is not that thick nor runny. There's no ingredients list on the bottle. It comes in a small tube with a small opening which I like for controlled dispensing of the product.

I have this in 725 Buff Beige Shade which is the right shade for my skin and in 710 Classic Ivory which is  a little whiter. I had problems on finding the right shade with Cover Girl Pressed Powders before - I found it too red or too white but now I'm happy because Buff Beige seems to be a perfect fit.

Pros:

• Fragrance free (you can only smell the natural scent of the foundation- no added fragrance)
• non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
• comes in 15 shades (according to their website)

Cons:

• no spf
