Oh my Dior

As I am more or less satisfied with more affordable products, I can see that this is an item that comes quite in handy for me. I'm happy mommy gave it to me as it didn't fit her skin tone. The shade is Diorshin Nude (Light Beige) which complements me really well as it blends in with my normal skin tone.

Product description:

It is a Natural Creme Glow Gel Makeup with SPF 20. It is the first gel to powder foundation in the Diorskin Nude range. When you apply it to your face, it feels like a creme but when it has settled it feels like a powder foundation.

Here is a picture of the product and as you can see starting on the left you have a velvet pouch for the compact, the box and lastly the compact.

 

Now I have combination skin really and if I combine my Etude House Foundation Moisturizer and then this one on top, the effect is amazing. It seems to even out my skin tone, cover minor flaws and even pores and I get a flawless application. For me it lasted very long.

This is my hand with nothing on it except lotion.

 

Here is my hand with the foundation only.

Based on the pictures above, you can really see the difference. It leaves a flawless coverage although light only, for me it's enough. I don't really want to have a cakey face. :)

Pros:

Feels and looks like my skin but just better

Has SPF 20

Moisturizing but evolves into a creme foundation

The compact is sleek

Flawless look

 Long lasting 

Gives a dewy finish

Cons:

Cover of the compact is so shiny I'm afraid I might scratch it up (good thing there is always the velvet pouch)

Can't really say anything based on personal use 

Verdict:

This gets most of the checks on my checklist and I'm very happy with it.

Purchase?

Definitely, although it's a bit expensive for my taste at $48 or roughly around Php 1900 more or less but the finish just wins me over. I find it important to have the right foundation and this seems to be the one for me.

 

Sweet Treats from Etude House

One of the brands I have praised a few times on my blog is this brand. It will always be an affordable and reliable brand for me. So far I have not experience any problems with any of their products and they do work for me. 

Personally, I'm really not a girly girl. I sort of detest pink (yes, all my photos have that pink background BUT it's not too dainty pink lol). Since all my makeup items are sort of simple (and usually black), it is nice to have a few of the EH items among them as they stand out with their perky designs.

So for all of you EH users out there, why not drop by and avail of these products! :)

On a personal note, that USB fan in the first picture really did catch my attention and the Nymph Aura Set is mesmerizing, don't you think?

Health is beauty

(I do apologize for the crappy resolution. The battery of my camera decided to turn on me as it showed the sign of low battery.)

When it comes to beauty, one also has to take into consideration of keeping the skin healthy too. One can buy all the makeup and topical solution to cover up flaws and blemishes but it always pays to take care of our skin by eating healthy, exercising and taking necessary vitamins too of course. 

These are two more items that we recieved from mom. First one is Nature Made Vitamin C.

Another item we got was the Green Pasture Blue Ice Permented Cod Liver Oil (Non-Gelatin Capsule).

As posted on their website:

Green Pasture's Blue Ice™ Fermented Skate Liver Oil is your best choice for cartilage fish oil. Skate liver oil is complete in its offering of many nutrients in a similar balance as cod liver oil. Unlike shark liver oil, skate liver oil is abundant in vitamins A, D, E, K, the full range of omega fatty acides, plus all the unique nutrients found in shark liver oil such as chondroitin, squalene, and alkoxglycerols.

This is good for your skin. 

So, keep your health in good condition. People with great skin also deserve kudos for keeping it that way. One can come far with great skin. As another tip for taking care of your skin, do use lotion with high spf as you want to prevent your skin from prematuring too.

Do add your own sentiments if you are using something I have yet to try. :)
