Review: Pond's Cold Cream

I can say that this product is "Bestseller". Everytime I buy this product, it's always out of stock. I don't know why. Maybe because everyone is using this. Let us know why.....

Information

Gentle yet effective deep cleansing action removes hidden dirt and make-up, even stubborn waterproof mascara. Its special blend of ingredients softens as it cleanses in one simple step so your skin feels smooth and radiantly clean; never tight or dry.

Things I Love

• It moisturize my skin as it cleanse
• Doesn't cause break out
• Removes dirt and even my waterproof mascara
• Available locally (Watson's, Supermarket's and Department Stores nationwide)
• Affordable 
• I love the lemon scent

Somethings I Wasn't Crazy About: 

• Honestly, none. I really love this product. Now we know why this product is "Bestseller"

Rate: 5/5

Tip: I use this sponge instead of cotton to remove excess oil and dirt on my face. It's better to use this than cotton because it also exfoliate your skin as it cleanse. Cotton may leave some fiber on your skin. 

These are the dirt on my face. Yuck!

Review: MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

I heard so many things about this product and I can't wait to this try this.

Once I applied this on my face, I said "it's true!"

I can't imagine that this powder gives a perfect coverage and controls the oil. My shade is NC 25. Its perfect on my skin tone. Its look like I don't wear make up and it gives a natural look.

Product Information:

A one-step application of foundation and powder. Gives skin a smooth, flawless, all-matte, full-coverage finish. Long-wearing: lasts for up to eight hours. A real all-in-one. The choice of pros, and a long time favourite of M∙A∙C fans.

Things I love:

• It gives a prefect coverage (Medium-Heavy)
• Unscented
• Stays last
• Controls oil
• Stylish Packaging. It has a separate place for the sponge.
• Available locally (Rustan's Shangri La, Glorietta, Rockwell and MOA

Somethings I wasn't Crazy About:

• Expensive. It cost Php 1,600
• No SPF

Rate: 5/5

Swatch of NC25

With flash. Can you see the nice coverage?

Without flash. Perfect!

I apply this using my MAC brush for medium coverage. You can also apply with wet sponge for heavy coverage. Choose the right shade for your skin tone for natural look. Grab your own MAC Studiofix Powder plus Foundation and see for yourself.
