Make Up For Ever Face and Body liquid foundation

Just a short review from me.
Among all those liquid foundations that MUFE has, the best seller are :

1. HD Foundation
2. Face and Body Foundation
3. Mat Velvet

I have HD Foundation but I don't like it as I found it made me cakey. So my another choices would be Face and Body or Mat Velvet. Finally I got Face and Body in hand yesterday by shopping online. She sells it cheaper than retail, $29.55 or Rm 114 including shipping.
I prefer this one than Mat Velvet as I love the texture. It's water based but the texture is semi gel. Today I tried it and I love how it felt on my skin, it has cool sensation. It's so easy to blend and I felt like I didn't wear anything. Looked like my own skin. So I could say that this foundation doesn't have good coverage, it's very light. So I need to use concealer.
Other than that, it's long lasting and didn't make my skin oily. Overall I love it :)
I give 4 from 5 :D

Revlon New Complexion Fluid Foundation review

description :
For completely undetectable coverage. The lightweight formula gives you perfectly smooth, even-toned skin that breathes. Oil-free, irritant-free, and won't clog pores.

I had tried this 2 times, with and without primer. Both of them had perfect result. Love it.
I will tell u why.
When I pour out onto my palm, it felt that the texture was kinda thick, I had bad feeling that it's not gonna be good (cakey). But once put it on my face using my brush, it glided smoothly and it didn't feel thick. I could see that my face looked instantly brighter and fresher. I love it, I had no problem with cakeyness at all.
While for coverage, yes, it has good coverage as I saw myself in the mirror that was not necessary to put concealer anymore. Furthermore, I'm not a fan of concealer.
If u are questioning about the oil control, since my skin is not that oily, I could not say a lot. And I spend my time mostly indoor. But at least, it didn't make me look oily.
I keep saying the good thing, that how about the cons ? The packaging, same like Colorstay, no air pump bottle. It's kinda troublesome, as when I pour out, I probably accidentally pour too much.
Well, with a very cheap price and all the good things that I love, I think I could bare with it. For me, it's like Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 but the cheaper version.
I would give points 4.5 from 5.
FYI, mine is the old one. They have the another one which is new formula with different packaging. What I read from Makeupalley, they prefer the old version. Too bad, it's a bit difficult to find. I hope Revlon Indonesia will keep this great foundation.
Cheers.

MAC Mineralize Blush in Gleeful

picture credits to viewpoints.com

Since the first time I saw this blush from Specktra.net, I was falling in love. I should have this.
And finally, I have it. The color is dusty rose, which I think u can find other than from MAC.
I was dissapointed with the result that I got when I put on my face. It looked like a dirt on my face. It didn't make look me fresh.
What I like from MAC Mineralize Blush is the texture and pigmentation. I didn't have to put so much to see the colour appear on my face. I dislike blusher that is very sheer. It's no use I buy it as have no result that I can see nor make any differences on my face.
I really like Dainty and Gentle that Stephen recommended to me. Especially Dainty, I love it. I look so fresh and the color matches with my skin :D
This Gleeful end up in my sale spree. I wish to sell, so anyone who interested, can email me la_femmefatale@rocketmail.com and of course the price will be much cheaper than retail.

The Flower Silky Makeup Base review

description : formulated with edible petal extract and powders, this makeup base softens skin and evens out tone for a silky smooth finish.

It was my first time to purchase face makeup product from The Faceshop. Used to I have the gel eyeliner, but it's just ok, nothing special. And it was my first time either to get myself makeup base which has color. I got mine in Light Purple, another choice is green.

The reason I myself makeup base with color which also known as corrector, is for brighten my dull and tired skin. Some brand has lots of color selections, blue, pink, white, beige, silver, etc.

I will start my review with the packaging. It's humongous ! I don't think it's necessary, as the quantity is only 35ml. Laneige Makeup Primer is 50 ml, but more handy and didn't waste ur makeup box space.

When I pumped out the makeup base, what I saw is a very light purple fluid which the texture is light and watery. It makes the makeup base easy to blend and absorp into our skin. When I smelled it, there's a light flower scent. Still acceptable rather than Laneige skincare product.

Basically, I didn't see any difference when I used this product. I didn't see that my skin look fresh or oh-so-healthy. It's still same like I used my other primer.
So I think this product is just fine for me. I didn't have any breakouts or make my face oilier.

I will keep it but I won't re-purchase when it's finished. I want to try from MAC, but Stephen said I don't need it :D Yves Saint Laurent has same product called Radiant base, which I love so much and I want to get it ! Soon I get it, I will tell u why I love it :D

Best tool I ever have and Givenchy Subli mine fluid foundation review

I would like to ask u, what is ur best tool for makeup ? brush ? sponge ? Makeup artist and us who love makeup so much probably will spend lots of money for brushes as it's long investment. Me either have a lot of brushes and I have sold some of them. But for u, readers which one is ur HG tool ? MAC brushes ? I have heard lots of good things about MAC brushes, but it's too way epxensive while u can get another one with cheaper price.

Me, myself have found my best tool this morning. It was accident, as I needed to be fast for photoshoot.Nah, it's photoshoot for my project, not me as a model -.-' I put makeup as usual but I got different result even though I used same products like yesterday.

U know why ? Because I used different method this morning and I got much better result. So what is it ?

my hand !!!!!

picture credit to images.imagine.com

LOL..rather than use my own hand for picture, I decide to use cartoon picture as I am lazy and it's funny :D So this morning, I used Givenchy Subli mine fluid foundation, just like yesterday. Usually I use sponge to apply my foundation to void too thick and cakey foundation on my face. But today I was in a rush and maybe because I was lazy, I didn't use sponge. I used my hand, finger actually to apply foundation and the result was amazing ! Luminous skin and better coverage ! Woo hoo ! I think start now I will use my hand to apply foundation, of course it should be hygenic :)

So here it is, my review for Givenchy Subli'mine Fluid Foundation. Just for extra information, this foundation is 4.2 of 5 from 25 readers in Makeupalley and 4.6 of 5 from 15 readers in Sephora. Yeah, it's only few who had experience with this foundation. I think it has been discontinued and change with Photo Perfexion Fluid Foundation SPF 20. I am not sure, correct me if I'm wrong :) 

I had this one in Exact Vanilla, which is suits my light skin tone. I think it's more pinkish rather than yellowish. The texture is quite thick, but still easy to blend without looks cakey. The coverage is very good, medium coverage but I got better coverage as I mentioned at the moment that using my fingers give me better result. I don't need concealer when I use this and it gives me luminous and glowy face :) The lasting power is very good, can stand for 8 hours and oil control is more than average. I really like this foundation and thinking to get another foundation, if they have. It's quite difficult to check, as Givenchy makeup counter is quite rare. 

I love it ! How about u, what foundation that u love so much ?

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Base review

I got this sample when I purchased my long wear gel eyeliner. So far, for Bobbi Brown I have 2 stuffs, gel eyeliner and foundation that I love and not dissapointed at all. The SA of Bobbi Brown gave me the sample as I told her that I was looking for makeup base. First she suggested me Hydrating Face Base, but me personally, prefer Vitamin Enriched base as from the webesite, it's one of best seller items from Bobbi Brown. She suggested me Hydrating Face Base due to my skin type, dry combination. But I am afraid it will end up with oily face.

This morning finally I tried Vitamin Enriched Base sample.Once I opened the sample, I can see yellow cream with a scent. First I thougt it was ginger scent, but when I put it on my face, it smelled like Lemon. So I think for this case, the problem should be from me, Lol. The texture was so thick and creamy. I was thinking that will end up with oily face. Furthermore, when I put it on my face, I didn't feel smooth sensation as canvas, like I feel from Lanege Makeup Primer Sebum Control and Bare Escentuals Prime Time. Uh-huh, I would be dissapointed with this product for sure, I said to myself. 

I was wrong. When I put my foundation, it looked better and smoother. And the best is, not oily at all. In fact, in oil control this product is much better from Laneige and Bare Escentuals. My makeup lasting for a whole day. I love it ! Bobbi Brown never fall me down !

Pro : long lasting, oil control and smoother when apply foundation.

Con : thick texture, the scent whatever is that.

I definetely will get this. But I have to try the Hydrating Face Base to see which one is better.

Happy Bobbi Brown lover day !

Chanel Mat Lumiere review

Chanel Mat Lumiere foundation, a birthday gift that I gave to myself. It was my happiest moment as I got myself Chanel. This foundation is the cheapest among all Chanel foundation. I bought this one because 2 SA had suggested to get this one for my combination skin.

I was planning to get Vitalumiere, as I love the texture, not too thick and easy to blend. But, it was too expensive and the SA said it's more suitable for mature and dry skin. Second choice was Teint Innocence, the second best seller after Vitalumiere, I had no idea why I didn't take this one. As for the price, only RM 4 more expensive than Mat Lumiere. I think because of the texture, it's quite thick.

I read that Mat Lumiere suitable for oily skin, while combination like mine, better get Teint Innocence. Well, I will buy it next time. So, here's my review for Mat Lumiere.

First time I used it was exactly on my birthday and ended with dissapointment. My skin got oilier than usual. The texture, I like it and easy to blend. But after that, it's cakey. Finally, today I gave another chance for Mat Lumiere which look better, not too oily and cakey. I think it was because of the primer. Today I used Bare Escentuals Prime Time, while on my birthday I used Le Blanc De Chanel, new makeup base from Chanel. Lastly, this foundation can stand for long time.

So I think I will keep this foundation. I am still looking for my HG for foundation that have good coverage, easy to blend, not too thick texture, long lasting and good oil control. Have u found ur HG foundation ? Maybe u can give me some suggestion =)

Cheers

Stila Illuminating Foundation review

Foundation fever, that's what happened to me since 3 weeks ago.

But, now I stopped as I want to get others thing such as blusher, bronzer, eyeshadows, etc. Mostly, the things that I never tried before.
I want to be a makeup pro ! Lol.

So, back to the topic. Yups, it's a review for my branded foundation but the cheapest price among the others. Stila had big sale last time. When they started the sale, I was kinda broke n needed to go back to Indonesia, so I didn't get anything.

When I went to Pavilion, I went to the counter and saw this foundation, so I decided to take it.

Actually, I wanted the loose powder, but it was finished.

The reason I bought this only because I could not resist the cheap price, not because I was interested or planning to buy it. It's definetly out of my plan. But I am glad that I bought this.
Why ?

First, start with the texture. It's not too thick, but not too liquid ( I have no idea if this is the right word, Lol ). It makes the foundation easy to blend n absorb well in our skin.
While for the coverage, it gives u medium coverage.
As usual, I did not expect anything for oil control, as my nose always get oily.
So for the oil control, I would say just ok.
What I like about this foundation is, when u see it, u won't realize that they have shimmer. It looks matte. First time I was using it, after several hours, I just realized that my hand I used to blend the foundation, had beautiful shine. My face looks glowy and the shimmer is just enough. I love it.
This foundation is RM 40 after discount.
Btw, I still have reviews for Chanel Mat Lumiere, Le Blanc De Chanel, Bare Escentual Prime Time, Bobbi Brown Skin foundation, Givenchy Sub'limine foundation and Clinique Superfit. My favourites are Le Blanc De Chanel, Bobbi Brown SKin Foundation and Givenchy Sub'limine foundation, While for Clinique, I have not tried it yet. I will tell u why its my favourite.
Stay tune =)

*sorry for the poor quality picture, I should get myself a better camera phone. I won't buy or use digital camera, even though the result will be execellent. I don't really like to take picture. So, it's not really worth to me. Or else, I use my sister's DSLR, Lol.

MUFE HD Foundation Review

Finally, I got this foundation and this is the first time I bought used item. I never buy used item as I want it to be clean and I am the first one who touch and try it.

I have no idea why I bought this even though it's used.
But, oh well it's not important.

The most important is if I am satisfy and like the product.

What do u think about this foundation ?

It's a best seller in Sephora and tons of good reviews from MakeupAlley.

Am I including the fans of this foundation ?

So, let's start.

I got shade 117, which is suitable for light skin with yellow skin tone. The seller said that we can't get this shade in Malaysia and she bought this from US.

The texture is quite thick, that's what I felt when I blended on my hand.

And when I dot the foundation on my face, then used the sponge to blend it, somehow, the foundation became dry. So it's quite hard to blend it on my face, as the result will be cakey and difficult to absorp in our skin. It feels like we use mask on our face.

This is me before using the foundation, only moisturizer then primer. U can see clearly the red bumps, scars, spots, whatever those are.

And this is the result after using it, better complexion :D

Overall, MUFE HD Foundation gives me good coverage and oil control. But it dries up fastly before we blend it on our face or probably it's because I used old stuffs ? I am not comfortable and satisfied enough with this foundation because it looked cakey. So I give this foundation 3.5 from 5 :D

And here I am after using blusher and loose powder :D

Cheers and have a nice day !
