Meet my new BFFs.
It's been a very very very long time since I've bought some make-ups... AND this is by far the best among the rest!
Meet Catrice Camouflage Cream. This is a new brand for me. It's a new brand from Germany same as the owner of Essence. I was so afraid to try it at first because my skin is very sensitive and I'm afraid to have breakouts. I bought this from Watson's SM North Edsa for 200php( $4.18). They are actually on sale so I said why not try it? I'm supposed to buy the Maybelline satin dream liquid foundation or Maybelline Dream Mousse but they were out of stock during that time. I'm planning to buy some make-ups to buy for my upcoming Singapore trip so I can't buy anything more than 100ml or anything in glass container .Thankfully, the sales lady told me that Catrice is on sale and their products are really good since they are all in friendly sizes and containers. I'm asking for a foundation so she told me that this one has good coverage so I immediately bought it not knowing THAT THIS IS NOT A FOUNDATION BUT ACTUALLY A CONCEALER! I was so disappointed BUT not anymore.... because.... of all my foundation/concealer... this.. yes THIS.. This is the only thing that can cover my blemishes without breaking me out or making my look so cakey or making my oily face extra oily. Thank God for this product. I swear by this concealer ( which I use also as my cream foundation).
Look at how it covered my blemishes with one application. (Sorry for my stray hairs!) No setting powder etc.
If you want to invest in a good and affordable concealer, this is perfect for you! I will definitely choose this than MAC Studio Finish Concealer.
*Pros*
- very affordable
- great coverage ( it is indeed a CAMOUFLAGE cream)
- easy to use)
- very easy to blend (especially if you have a beauty blender)
- one application can go a long way
-no spf unlike MAC Studio Finish Concealer
*Cons*
- too heavy
- unhygienic pot container
- few shades
- white cast under bright light
My other new fun find was a lippie from a local brand. This was from Fashion 21 which was the brand partner of FS Cosmetics made by the famous stylist, Fanny Serrano!
I never knew that I can find a very matte and very pigmented lippie from a local brand. I used to think that MAC and NYX are the best brand for these characteristics.
This Fashion 21 lipstick is in Russet Shade. A combination of MAC Diva/Diva Antics Lippie and MAC Russian Red and a lot darker than NYX mauve lip liner. All these products are unique therefore I really cannot compare.
*Pros*
- locally made! Support PH products!
- very affordable 175php($3.67) available at any dept. store locally
- very matte
- very pigmented
- no scent whatsoever
- lots of shades
- long wear
*Cons*
- drying! so please exfoliate and moisturize your lips before using this!
