Another Bourjois Haul =)

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation #53

So Delicate Lip Cream ~ Rose Poudre 51 (Rs.575)
I already had 3 of these and I love them so much. When I swatched Rose Poudre at the store, I couldn't believe I chose Rose Veloute (which looks a little dull on me) over it the first time.

Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation Review + Face Swatch


Love it!!! It blends like a dream and lasts all day without caking and my face didn't get oily even after hours and hours. It is a matte finish but my skin doesn't feel dry at all.
It has medium coverage. It covers blemishes but not completely, it just blurs them in a way. The mousse texture feels so fluffy that even if you pile this on it won't look like you did, because it's so light and easy to blend. Amazing!

I think this will suit dry skin as well, because as I said before, it's not drying. My skin type is Combination/Dry (according to Clinique) and I do tend to get dry patches here and there, so I would recommend it to dry-skinned people.

I like it much much better than my MUFE HD Foundation

New in Bourjois.....O-M-G!!!

(Reminds of Too Faced Mood Swing)

Review ~ Etude House Precious Mineral Make-up Essence

Guerlain Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer Dupe?

I think look-wise that's the closest to a dupe as it can get, what do you think?


What it is:
A pre-makeup essence (moist cream + pearl-infused makeup base)
Makeup Essence promotes better adhesion of makeup by moisturizing skin and blending skin tone with coverage for a longer lasting and more natural look.

A Lil' Bit of Mac & Bourjois Haul

Did a little bit of hauling today.
I went to Mac wanting 3 things from the Too Fabulous CollectionCremesheen glasses in Partial to Pink and Loud & Lovely, Ripe Peach Blush Ombre. The only thing that was available was Partial To Pink. The other two were sold out =( . I don't care so much about Ripe Peach, but Loud & Lovely! *le sigh*

Here's Partial to Pink ~I think the Cremesheen finish is the best out of all Mac lipglasses. Very creamy and glossy but not sticky. The peachy pink shade doesn't show much on my lips (which is why I needed Loud & Lovely too! Hmph!)
Rs.1040

I got Mac Peaches Blush instead, which I tried some weeks ago but had no money left to buy it ;) (and no, I'm not allowed to use my credit cards much...hehe)

Scar Treatment~Bio Oil Vs Mederma Vs Palmer's Cocoa Butter: Verdict

In October last year I wrote a post about Scars and Stretch Marks Removal (Click to read the post)
That's 7 months ago. I think that's a good amount of time to know which products work and which needs to be thrown out (or moved to the back of your vanity cabinet)
