[ REVIEW ] Revlon Colorstay for Oily/Combination in NUDE

FIRST FOUNDIE EVER. lol call me weird, call me out of date, i don't care. i was more of a bb cream baby first, but 80% of  the BB Creams i've tried, had been nothing but a HUGE FAT DISAPPOINTMENT. not over exaggerating or anything!

so i thought i stopped with the bb cream fiestas and i stepped out of my comfort zone. the first brand i thought of was Revlon, cause basically, they're one of the best drugstore brands on EARTH.

it retails for about 110.000IDR if i'm not mistaken..


me with Colorstay on.

  • the coverage is nice, i'll say medium to full coverage. you can still see a lil bit of my acne scarrings on my big ass forehead. excuse the language ;). they do cover my blemishes, but i still need to apply concealer to help it covers more.
  • it keeps me matte for half of the day. which i don't really mind, cause i personally never wear makeup for more than 10hrs.
  • for the lasting power, i think they can stay for ALL DAY, but you'll still need to blot some of the oil with your blotting paper ( all drugstores sell em ).
  • it does break me out a bit, i guess because its heavy texture that i'm not used with. but nothing that a History of Whoo Jasaeng essence can't fix :p
  • it has SPF6 in it, which is good for flash photography.


all in all, i give this 9 out of 10.

[REVIEW] Etude AC Clinic Daily Sun BB Cream


one word to describe this bb cream: meh.
really. this bb cream wasn't satisfying at all.
i applied it for the first time a few days ago, and BAM! i started breaking out, AGAIN.
quite odd with the fact that they say this bb cream is made specially for sensitive skin etc etc.

it's SPF30, which for me is a no problemo because my usual bb cream (skin food aloe blablabla) is less than that. which is SPF20. 

the coverage itself was also a MEH. so sheer. 


for the oil control, it worked better than skin food aloe sunscreen. 


oil control: 5 out of 10
coverage: 1 out of 10
great for: IDK. all i know it aint good for oily skin like moi.

[REVIEW] Makeup Forever (MUFE) Aqua Eyes eyeliner in 2L (brown)


bought this because i was too tired of buying shitty quality eyeliners. i just couldn't help not to buy the high end ones. 
yep it is considered as very pricey for an eyeliner. but i was devastated. so excuse me.

bought this in the shade brown. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I DIDNT GO FOR THE BLACK ONE. that, was my biggest regret ever.

ok lets just get straight to the point.

i loooove this so much, because it stays all day! I didn't have any problems with this smudging or smearing. For such a soft pencil it stays put so well! looks really natural, and the texture is veeeery soft.
Honestly this is the only eyeliner I can use. It's extremely non smudging on my eyes. Every other eyeliner smears on my eyes since i have oily lids. but not this one.

the only downside this product is, i have to layer it a couple of times till i get that perfect brown. 

overall, i love this. LOVEEEE LOOOOOVE LOOOOOOOOOVE this. the pigmentation problem is a no problem at all for me. worth every penny!

will i repurchase? YESS YESSS YESSS. but probably the black one :p

[REVIEW] The Body Shop liquid liner in black


my first ever liquid liner. back then i didn't really know much about makeup. 
so i just picked up one from body shop. since it was my favorite brand that time.
a bit pricey. around 119.000IDR

pros:
~great for winged eyeliner
~very pigmented
~stays all day 
~smudgeproof (even for oily lids)


cons:
~i do not recommend this for beginner. i'm pretty sure its all because of the brush that came with it. (small pointy brush).The brush is extremely stiff and I find it difficult to work with cause I'm more used to bendy brushes
~it takes long for it to dry.


will i repurchase?
probably yes.

[REVIEW] Maybelline Crayon Liner



bought this not too long ago, because i was looking for NYX's replacement. 
it caught my eyes, firstly because it's price. (only 30.000IDR/4USD)

it is very soft, very pigmented.and the pencil glides on easily. 

but it smudges when you don't apply any primer/base before. it smudges like hell. but then i tried using primer before putting this on, it still smudged, but not as bad as when i didn't put any primer.and it does stayed pretty long.

its saddening, the color is just gorgeous. it looks really good on my lid. but i just can't handle the smudging on  days that i'm too lazy to put on some primer/base.

won't be repurchasing this, unfortunately.

[REVIEW] The Face Shop Face It gel liner

waterproof, it says.

ola! 
today i'll be doing a review on The Face Shop Gel Liner. 
this product. was my first bought gel liner. 
i love it, despite the expensive price (the price is actually the same as bobbi brown's).
i bought this like half a year ago, and i still have much left in the tube!

easy to work with, very pigmented, last all day. and it doesn't really smudge (i have oily lids). but when you're in a very humid place, this product would be a no go. 

two sided brush included. i love the gel liner brush! and also the hard applicator thingy, it is to blend the color so it'd look smokey-er. if that makes sense :/

i give this product 8 out of 10

will i repurchase?
nope, its too pricey. with a same price like this,  i'd rather go try bobbi brown or MAC. i'm sure those two brands are better than this.
