IN2IT Oil Control & Oil Free Face Powder

Hello World...

Before enjoying the weekend, I just wanna share my ALL-TIME favorite face powder. We have been together for 3 years  now and counting wahhhh :D

Here's a short history of IN2IT :

The brand is owned by Asia Pacific Cosmetics Corporation, Hong Kong. Formulated for Asian skin using ingredients and technology from Japan and Europe.

About the product:

I got an IN2IT Oil Control & Oil Free Face Powder in OCP01 Soft Beige with extra sheer shade which comes in a cute pink compact. It contains 7g of products and SPF 15 PA+++. It has a mirror and a sponge applicator (very soft but I still prefer using a powder brush for application). Available in 4 shades: OCP01 Soft Beige, OCP02 Warm Beige, OCP03 Harvest and OCP06 Chaste. Retail price is at Php 399.00 but I got it on sale at Php 339.75.

Compact is 5 inches when opened wide and 2.5 inches when closed, very handy to bring anytime and anywhere you like.

- Quality of powder is very smooth and fine
- It doesn't give a white cast

- It has SPF 15 against UVB rays and PA++ against UVA rays

- Contains Silica for oil and shine control

- Contains 90% natural ingredients 

- No fragrance and oil free

- With Vitamin E for extra moisture

- With mirror and applicator

What I don't like about the product:

- Nothing at all haha... as I've said we're in a relationship and we're not breaking up unless I found a better one!

Here's an evidence of contentment...

Thank you for reading my post and till my next one!

Ellana Pressed Mineral Blush Duo

Happy Monday to everyone...

Let's start the week with positivity so it will end well :P

So today I will be sharing to you my all time favorite blush. I have been in-love with Ellana Minerals Blush in Fulfillment for three years now and by then I had this ardent wish that perhaps in the near future they will put it in a compact type since powder type is a bit messy and retouching is inconvenient with it. 

Finally, my wish was granted char. As I was browsing one of my favorite blogs, I learned that Ellana Minerals are now selling the Ellana Pressed Mineral Blush Duo so I hurriedly check on to their website to be only disappointed that mostly of the blushes were out of stock!!! 

From then on, I eagerly check for re-stock status daily and finally bought the compact last August 19, 2014. I bought three compacts: one for me and the other two are for my friends which also likes Fulfillment blush. They generously gave me a GWP powder blush in Lust.

I got the Obsession / Fulfillment Pressed Mineral Blush Duo at Php 460.00 + Php 40.00 shipping fee (Php 120/3 pax, me and my friends shared with the shipping cost). I bought it at Ellana Online website. I received it after 3 days from payment.

About the product:

The shades I got:

Fulfillment - (right) is a watermelon peach with gold shimmer

Obsession - (left) is a sheer raspberry red

Weight: contains 9g

What I like about the product:

1.) Texture is velvety and smooth 

2.) Staying power is superb

3.) Price is affordable

4.) Weightless and eco-friendly packaging

5.) In a convenient pressed form

6.) Comes with a mirror and a secure magnetic closure

7.) Highly pigmented and has a semi-matte finish

8.) Locally available

9.) A Mineral Make-up - fragrance and paraben free 

What I don't like about the product:

1.) When I first applied  it, product is very powdery and I messed up but I sooner manage to get the desired amount I just needed for my cheeks

2.) Packaging is nice but it easily attracts dirt because of it's cardboard material 

 

Indoor picture - Fulfillment blush on me, gives a natural-looking peachy glow on my cheeks! I can use this blush everyday...

Outdoor picture with my cute son - Obsession blush on me, gives a flattering radiant glow on my cheeks!!! A refreshing pink color!!! I use it whenever I need to brighten up my day....

All in all, I really liked the blush duo and I will definitely repurchase :D

Till my next post!

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser

Hello...

I am sharing to you my one and only primer...  I've been following several blogs since 2011 and stopped for a while when I got married and started our family. When I finally got back to start blogging again, I found out that I'm missing a lot! and I have to be updated with the recent beauty, skin care and hair care products that's why I am introduce to primers only last year hehe... I am using Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser since August 21, 2013 to be exact. I have this habit of putting dates to any products that I'll be using so I can keep track of the expiry and  the longevity it was used up. By doing so, I can determine if I should repurchase or not, if the price is worth the spend. Finally, I repurchased last September 20, 2014.

 

This is my second tube! My first tube is about to be empty soon.. I'm using this as my daily face primer before I apply make-up.

Basic information from the website: 

Bye-Bye Pores!

One second away from smooth, poreless skin.

Why You'll Love It...

Insta-blur technology visibly smoothes pores away.

Can be worn alone or under makeup.

Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.

For Best Results...

Smooth a thin layer under foundation for a smooth-looking finish. Or use alone for flawless-looking skin, smoothing onto areas with visible pores. 

  

 Price: Php 299.00 per 22 ml tube.

 How to use...

In a translucent gel form

What I like about the product:

-          As primer: when applied on the face creates a baby-smooth skin

-          Creates a perfect canvas so that make-up glides on flawlessly

-          Lightweight and breathable on the skin

-     Non greasy and non sticky

-     Fragrance free

-     Price is affordable

-          Extends the wear of make-up

-          tube delivers enough products and is hygienic

-          a little product comes a long way

 What I don’t like about the product:

  1.) I honestly think that it doesn't really reduces my pores since I have been
using it more than a year now. Yes, it does seem like your pores has
been reduced when applied but it's only on the surface... when the gel is
gone you're back to your old pores.

  2.) It does prolong life of your make-up on the face but not that long enough

That would be all for now. Enjoy the weekend guys....
