THEBALM CABANA BOY SHADOW/BLUSH

THE BALM CABANA BOY REVIEW, SWATCHES, PHOTO

with $21, you can get 8.5gram 

Ingredients

The first time i saw "cabana boy" on website, i'm not interested to buy. But, after i search for another swatches, i decide to buy it. And i think it worth to buy, with $21 you can get 0.3oz/8.5gr blush, its a huge blush.


thebalm cabana boy

Cabana boy is a subtle sheen plum blush, its looks luminous rather than shimmer. I think twice to use it, and when swipe on my cheek.. I LOVE this blush so much! 
silky texture, easy to blend, very pigmented so make sure you apply with a light hand.

And now cabana blush on my cheek:

HOW TO COVER YOUR DARK CIRCLE

I have problem with my dark circle,its the important spot to cover on my face,

before using concealer

i found my best complexion to cover my dark circle, they are:



-estee lauder double wear stay in place concealer

-kiko 3D lifting concealer

-laura mercier loose setting powder

-moors highligther 

-powder foundation 
*choose 1 shade brighter than your skin tone, i'm NC25-30(on mac)/or #754 (on shu uemura). I use shu uemura natural glow powder foundation #764 for setting concealer after  use loose powder


Why i use powder foundation to setting concealer after using setting loose powder? because powder foundation will result full coverage on me
I use finger to apply and blend concealer.

estee lauder dw concealer+kiko 3D lifting 

setting with laura mercier loose powder

use highligther and powder foundation


hope you guys found it useful,, 

thx u

BENEFIT HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN WOW BRIGHTENING MAKEUP LIQUID FOUNDATION SPF 25

REVIEW: BENEFIT HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN WOW BRIGHTENING MAKEUP SPF25 PA+++ PROTECTION
                  
 lightweight and flawless



for the first time Benefit launch their liquid foundation, benefit "hello flawless!" oxygen wow brightening makeup liquid foundation SPF25
I have combination skin (oily in T-zone, dry in some place)
this foundation gave me natural finishing with amazing coverage, lightweight, flawless and dewy finish, and brightening effect. my skin looks great! i just need only one pump to cover my face..


30minutes after apply the foundation
without flash

although this foundation contain SPF 25, whitecast effect still normal for me

with flash


they have 9 shades, i choose "cheers to me champagne" for light and medium complexion,, this foundation shade darker than other brand foundation. if you NC15, i think "i'm pure 4 sure ivory" will be darker than your skin tone. and this product is very yellow..

swatches "cheer to me champagne"

the texture is watery, runny,lightweight, they give natural finish and medium coverage, if you apply with flat top brush you can get full coverage
at sephora, i read:

Its nourishing formula contains Benefit's exclusive Oxygen Wow Hydrating Complex, which helps boost cellular respiration for a "plumping up" effect, protects against environmental stresses, and contains vitamin C and E derivatives known to prevent the signs of aging. SPF stands for the protection grade of the UVB filter. PA stands for the protection grade of the UVA filter. The highest standard of sun protection rating is the three-star PA rating. Benefit's foundation has three stars, which translates to the highest level of protection. 

i use this foundation from 7am till 10pm with monistat primer for 20 hours and i dont need to blot at all,
oil start to emerge on my nose after 6 hrs but only 20%.  On my chin, forehead, still look dewy effect.
after more than 6 hrs oil emerge on my nose only 40%, my cheek looks glowy that's why i think blotting is not necessary for me..
with flash
after 6 hours



that's all my review for benefit hello flawless oxygen wow,hope you find it usefull..

thanks,

BOOBI BROWN SKIN FOUNDATION SPF15

BOBBI BROWN SKIN FOUNDATION SPF 15 
lightweight and flawless

i'm around NC 25-30 in mac foundation, i'm using bobbi brown skin foundation spf 15 warm beige #3.5
on bare skin my face lighter than my neck,, so i think warm beige match with my skintone..my face is oily and combo 
i use it for 22 hours (from 9AM-2AM) using monistat soothing relief powder gel for face primer,, just need blot 3x with laura mercier matte transclucent smooth focus pressed setting powder shine control

without flash


with flash


swatches bobbi brown skin foundation


the foundation texture is watery, i think its water based. to cover all area on my face it only take one pump.(note: minim dark spot an redness on my face),, i think if you have dark spot and redness,you need 2 layers

if you looking foundation with sheer to medium coverage, lightweight, dewy and second skin finishing, you must try bobbi brown skin foundation.

after 5 hours
                                                                     
after 5 hours, it little bit oxydize, little bit darker than before. but its okay, just blotting my face with powder brush, and it will refresh my face. oil control so far so good ,, not too oily, enough to make a dewy look on my face. (i'm in love with dewy look finishing)


COVERAGE:
sheer to medium,but i use sigma F80 flat top for applying it make full coverage
sigma f80 flat top


FINISHING:
dewy look and like a second skin


after all i'm in love with this foundation,,

xoxo
