Hello everyone! Today I'm going to review Ever Bilena Powder Foundation :)  First I really like its yummy scent. It also has Vitamin E and UV protection. I got this in Soft Beige Shade. It is available in 4 shades. It provides medium coverage and my skin did not react badly with this product. It is also refillable (costs Php145 for the refill). The compact is black and sturdy and there is a different compartment beneath for the sponge like those of MAC's. The color stays true and I only needed one touch up during the day!

Pros:
  • affrodable
  • has Vitamin E and UV Protection
  • refillable
  • no breakouts
  • color stays true from the pan to the face
  • available nationwide (Watson's, SM dept.stores and your local dealers!)
Cons:
none!!!

I will definitely repurchase again and again! :)

Overall a very nice product!

Cai Mei Sheep Placenta Anti Wrinkle Cream


Variant: Sheep Placenta Anti Wrinkle Cream ( Green Cap and Box)
 Weight: 70 grams
Price: Php35
Made in China

This on gave me small pumps on my skin. It is lightly scented but I cannot describe the scent. I road tested this for ten days and it didn't make any difference except it made my skin smoother upon application. But due to the bumps it had given my face I'm afraid I cannot use this furthermore.


Pros:
  • cheap
Cons:
  • gave small bumps on my face
  • the scent is light but I didn't like it :(
  • the ingredients list is in chinese
 Will I repurchase? No. Sadly I had to toss this but I will be keeping the Whitening Foundation Cream (Orange Cap and Box) variant.

I bought this online and purposely bought this even though it's much darker than my skintone to be used with my CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers Make Up in 710 Classic Ivory which is lighter than my usual Buff Beige Shade.

I've tried using it one my bare face and it is translucent. Good thing I saw this on eBay for Php150 only!
It didn't break me out. I will probably buy this or the Blue (Oil COntrol) variant in Buff Beige too if I see this again online. :)

Pros:
  • Non- Comedogenic
  • Hypoallergenic
  • no breakouts! :)
Cons:
  • no spf
Nice powder :) Hope I can find this online in Buff Beige in cheaper price! :)
