Foundation: Covergirl Trublend Liquid Makeup and Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

A few months back, I decided go try the CoverGirl TruBlend Foundation because my Etude House had broken me out really bad and I needed something for everyday use.

I was supposed to get the CoverGirl Outlast Foundation but it was out of stock so I resorted to getting the TruBlend instead. It wasn't locally available here in the Philippines so I got mine online for only 400 Php and I have in the shade L5

According to the CoverGirl website:

 "truBLEND Liquid Makeup is available in 21 shades and features a new shade-matching system. To find your perfect blend, first determine your shade family. Second, choose your number. Coordinate complementary truBLEND products based on your number for a seamlessly flawless nude look that blends in and virtually disappears."

I personally like it because of its natural finish on me. Coverage wise, it's not the best one, I have to admit, but I think I have reached that point in my life where in a full coverage foundation is the answer to all my problems. Haha!

I lasts for about 4-5 hours on my skin before it starts to break down and show all my imperfections to the world. It doesn't have any scent to it as well.

Another reason why I like it is because of the packaging, it's in a bottle container, it has a pump and it locks as well. It's very travel friendly.

I hasn't broken me out yet and I have been using it for about 3 months now and I still love it.

Another foundation that I have been loving these past few months, would be a full coverage foundation. I use it whenever I feel like I need to look more put together and whenever I'm going out not for work.

The foundation I'm talking about is the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation. I got it from the same online store for only 330 Php and I'm in the shade classic beige.

Before purchasing this product, I searched for reviews online and I found out that this tends to oxidize and it was suggested that you purchase a shade lighter that what you normally have.

Now why do I like this foundation? First,  it's full coverage and it's really matte. It just has a little scent to it but it doesn't bother me at all.

It stays intact for 6-8 hours before it starts to wear off. You'll just have to make sure you blot every now and then.

This product reminds me of the Revlon Whipped Foundation but I prefer the Rimmel one beacause it comes in a squeeze tube container which is way more hygienic compared to the Revlon one which comes in a pot.

Just like the TruBlend one, this foundation hasn't broken me out as well even after using it for about 3 months now.

Now at the moment, I do not have a picture of the swatches yet but I'll be updating this post with those pictures soon!

Comment down below if you have tried these foundations yourself and suggestions are very much welcome.

Thailand Radish Soap and Snail Soap

During my stay in the province, I had a lot of insect bites on my arms and legs.

These insect bites left not so pretty markings on my skin and I searched for ways to get rid of them. When I got back to Manila, a friend noticed the markings on my skin and suggested that I try this so called Radish Soap from Thailand. Out of curiosity, I contacted an online seller of the said products and ordered 2 soaps. I got the soaps from an online store Radish Soap for Php 150 and Snail Soap for Php 120.

The Radish Soap claims that it’s good for insect bites and acne marks on the body, the Snail Soap on the other hand claims that it’s good for oily skin on the face and gets rid of blemishes as well. I searched more about these Thai products online and I’m surprised to see that a lot of people claim that product worked for them.

It took the courier 3 days to deliver the parcel. Upon opening the boxes, I find the packaging really cute specially the Radish Soap.

I’m just a little bit disappointed on how small the products are.

I will be using these soaps starting tonight and I’ll be posting updates to keep you posted. J
