Review: Nature Republic Vanilla Sky Foundation and FOTD

Last April, my friend Putri went to South Korea for a seminar purposes. She kindly brought back for me some make up and skincare, and this was one of `em. Nature Republic is a Korean make up brand that emphasize on natural ingredients. Not just a mouthful, this foundation really does contain polynesia lagoon water and SPF 25 PA++. Hmm, sounds good to me ^.^

Okay, let`s get down to the product review, shall we?

Packaging

Comes in a blue plastic tube with flower print, this foundation looks a little bit "standard". Not really cute, but not bad either. I really like the idea using plastic, because it will be travel friendly. Tube packaging is also hygienic.

 Swatch, Texture and Smell

It has creamy texture, a little bit thick so it is hard to blend. For me, i find it better to use make up sponge rather than paddle-like foundation brush. The brush only resulting in streaky finish. It has such a strong vanilla smell that wont go away for 15 minutes. The smell is fine for me, because my skin is not sensitive towards fragrance.

Spread - spread-.. Looks really white, isn't it?

Blend more with my fingers

Coverage, Oil control, Pigmentation and Longevity

Semi matte finish and the coverage is sheer to medium. For a really bad acne scar, concealer is a must. At first, the foundation didn`t blend well and causing a white cast, but after a while it settled well. On me, this foundie doesn`t oxidise, stay bright till i remove it. Pigmentation is good, a little goes along the way and brightens up the entire face. It stays put for 5 - 6 hours, and i do need to blot sometimes. So, i would say that the oil control is so - so. 

FOTD

The best part about my job, is that i get to travel to a lot of mall for many reasons. Market research, location finding, or even checking the SOYA stores. Hehehehe so i can go sightseeing while working. 

This time i went to Supermall PTC Surabaya. I was in hurry making this FOTD, i didn`t even have time to apply the eyeliner and as you can see, the eyelash glue were very apparent and flaking >.<

Gah! Thank goodness the eyelashes didn`t fall off until the end of the day. I just use copper and brown eyeshadow all over my lids and apply falsies. That was it.

And for the face, i was using Nature republic vanilla sky foundation. I like the finishing look of this foundie. My skin looks brighter, smoother, but not heavy :)

Review: PAC Cream Foundation number 8

Hi everyone! Happy holiday :) How do you spend your holiday? Eating out? Dating? Hehehehe, since i want to help you spend your holiday, today i am going to share with you my HG contouring foundation. Why Holy Grail? Because i use this most of the time and the result is great. You can check my make up tutorial when i use this foundation :)

Just like its name, it is creamy :) I ussually use this with my foundation brush and sponge. Until now, i havent had any bad reaction or anything. And this foundation last all day. I ever went to a party, i applied my make up in the morning and at night, i can still see the contouring dimension. Just right! hehehe.. The price is affordable, i forget the exact price, but i think it is around 90.000 rupiahs or SGD 15.

Here are the swatches. Pretty and blends real well on my skin. I would recommend this for you who seek for affordable and creamy contour foundation. Talk to you later, friends!

REVIEW: Revlon New Complexion Liquid Foundaton in Natural Beige

Revlon New Complexion Liquid Foundation:

Revlon new complexion is a product line that is dedicated to create a natural look. Not too dewy, not too matte. It has face compact powder  and also liquid foundation. I have both and I would like to review them today.

I love this because……….

It is 35,5 ml for 70000. I think it is quite reasonable. It is cheaper than colorstay of photoready.

It is also available locally. Most of department store has it.

The coverage is medium, but you can build it if you want. And also blendable

It is not cakey on me

It is great to create flawless but natural look. It covers redness and acness

Hmm, i took some swatch pictures for you

It contains:

I don’t like this because…..

The packaging is made of glass. Hii creepy, since I am such a clumsy girl, I am always worried that I might drop it and break it. It also doesn’t have pointy ends or pump. So, when I pour, I ussually end up with too much foundation on my hand. >.<.

It has runny – watery texture.

The oil control is so – so. My nose shines after 2-3 hours.

  

Conclusion:

This foundation is great for daily, for you who work at the office. It is lightweight and it is not cakey. I would recommend this for those of you who have normal and dry skin because it tends to get oily easily.
