Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Tony Moly Delight Petite Cotton BB Cream Honey Beige Review

Image
I honestly forgot about this product. I remember buying this last January but I discovered cushion bb creams (only tried one out for the first time this year) and I forgot that I had this.  I actually like this more than the bb creams that I was using prior to this (the pink Skin79 and Canmake). Canmake was working for me well before my face got tanned due to prolonged sun exposure because it has more yellow tint than usual bb creams from Korean brands. Korean bb creams tend to give me a white cast (on indoors lighting but not visible outdoors) I specifically chose a darker shade than what I would normally get. It turned out to be a great foresight as I'm tanned right now and the Honey Beige shade is perfect.  At first I really wasn't expecting much as it was cheap. I bought it online on sale for less than 300php ($6.5) but on the online store I bought it from sells it at 395php regular price (around $8.6). I don't know if it's cheaper on the actual Tony ...

Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder - Matte Ochre Review

Image
Today, I will be writing about my favorite compact powder, Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder. When I bought this, I didn't really think too much about it. I was just looking for a cute (and cheap) powder compact and this one fits the bill. I got it in the Matte Ochre shade, which is just perfect for my skin. Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder Upon looking at Canmake's website , here's a list of notable things about this powder: - has an additive free formulation that can easily be removed with ordinary facial wash - free from surfactants, tar-based pigments, alcohol and fragrance - absorbs sebum and makes make-up last longer - has moisturizing agents like aloe vera leaf extract, rosemary extract, chamomile extract, lemon extract - has toning agents (for skin firmness) like horse chestnut extract, perilla (shiso) leaf extract - has emollient agents (for smooth skin) like squalane, olive oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil - has two different sized spher...

Canmake Cream Cheek - 13 Love Peach Review

Image
I have the Canmake Cream Cheek sitting in my room for around two weeks now (along with Perfect Serum BB Cream and Marshmallow Finish Powder - will update links later), but haven't gotten around using the cream cheek until recently. I used to like using gel/liquid blushes when I was in my early teens but somehow outgrew it and rarely used blush in the recent years. Anyway, here are my thoughts on Canmake Cream Cheek (Love Peach): Canmake Cream Cheek in 13 Love Peach The colour looks like a warm pink on the package, so I was quite surprised how it is more of a pale pink colour on my cheeks. The colour I have on my cheeks is what I would expect from their 'Marshmallow Pink' shade (see chart below for reference) from: http://www.canmake.com/en/ebase/item_base025.html I didn't expect pale pink would suit me, so I'm not really complaining even if specifically bought 'Love Peach' thinking it will give a nice pink with a hint of peach. ...
