Sewame Cream Cream

Sewame PXE Fruits and Vegetables White Aqua Cream

Been using this for the past whole month. It has a light fruity smell, thicker than a lotion but not as thick as other ordinary night cream. I only use this cream at night as my night cream. It does not irritate my skin neither did it cause any breakouts. I do not find this product whitening my skin, neither did I get any tanner over the summer. I do not care though as long as it does not irritate or bleach my skin. However, it forms a very thin waxy layer after applying and remains there until the next morning. I would not say that it makes my skin oily the next morning but a waxy layer. I remember it happened last time when I used another cream from them (see following photo). Maybe it is their special formula to reduce the lost of moisture? I have to say, in terms of hydration, this product certainly does a better job than the following one I am going to talk about.

Sewame Face Slimming QQ Perfect Firming & Whitening Cream

I used this as my night cream since it is quite thick in consistency. This product comes with a light fragrant I would say. This product did not break me out nor cause any irritation. Actually, I do not think this product does anything at all... It did not slim my face, did not lighten up my skin, not very good at hydrating my skin. (And I used this line's face cleanser as well...) One thing it does is that it sits on top of my skin and it feels waxy... Even though it did not cost a fortune, I am never, ever going to consider getting another cream from Sewame... These two products put me off... Well... A bit...

Big Fail B.B.

This is one BIG fail... I have never hated a face product (in terms of makeup) that much...

Arezia BB Cream

I have tried Arezia products before but nothing disappointed me like this product.

There were two shades available, this pink one claims to control oil. Since I am oily at the T-zone I decided to give the pink one a go...

First of all, it has very sheer coverage. It does not make your skin looks smoother, does not make your pores less visible, does not even out your skin tone, does not cover your dark circles nor acne scars.

If you use this in the summer you would found this product melts within minutes after application even if you stay indoor with air-conditioning. If you use this product in the winter you would find this dries out your skin so much that starts turning patchy. For the worst, it goes patchy at the time of application that you cannot even it out again no matter what tools you use, but to take off your makeup and start it all over again.

Staying power is so poor that you have hardly anything left when you take off your makeup at the end of the day. Applying powder over this product does not really help.

Using this alone, as a foundation or as a base would be a total fail.

I guess the only good thing about this product would be you do not have to worry about colour matching...

I will go back to Missha...

Perfection eyeshadow? No wayyyyyyyy....

 

Perfection
Eyeshadow Quad
Shade: Jewel (WJ)

Perfection
Eyeshadow Quad
Shade: Sapphire (X9)

Guess where I got these two quads from~



Marks & Spencer!

Correct! They do cosmetics as well but not every shop does. They also do different ranges of skincare products as well as perfumes for different age range (and price)...

I loved their liquid concealer from the basic line which looks like this:

This liquid concealer was one of my favourites, it covers so well and is so light-weight, more importantly, it is very affordable. However, they have stopped this and left with the more expensive range of stuff... SHAME!!!

I couldn't find one single liquid concealer from the more expensive ranges but I decided to try the eyeshadow quads and blush. 

I got two eyeshadow quads. They are both in the pastel shades and both the packaging and sponges are very sturdy. Feels so smooth when I did the swatches with my fingers and there is a pearly shine too all of them (not shimmer or glitter!) which I thought would be nice for a fresh spring look. I in particular like the ruby shade from the Jewel quad and the darkest shade from the Sapphire quad. However! It is another story when you try to apply on your eyelids... No matter if I used a brush, a sponge, or even my fingers, nothing showed up... Pigmentation is sooooooooo poor that I could see nothing after application... I threw them both away before I could make a dent on any of those shades...

Disappointing...

What a WASTE 

Night Night~

Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream

Simple products are claimed to be suitable for people with sensitive skin since they are free from any harsh chemicals/additives/perfume..etc. I cannot prove that since I don't have sensitive skin, but their products certainly have never irritated me nor did I notice any fragrance. This night cream is quite light in consistency compared to other night creams I used before, but not as running as a lotion. It is more like a gel-cream texture. It does not leave an oily feeling but my face doesn't feel dry/tight the next morning. Suitable for use all year round in HK, but it's a bit not enough for winter in the UK especially with the heating on. Since this product is not that oily compared to other night creams in the market, it did not break me out nor block my pores. 

Overall quite a decent product and I DO recommend this product even if you have oily skin. Not to mention, Simple products are always very affordable. 

Nivea Visage Regenerating Night Cream

I found myself always go back to this and I have already gone through quite a few jars of this product in  my pass few years. However, when I reach for this winter, I found myself breaking-out a lot after using this cream for about two / three nights. I was really shocked and I have never had this problem before. I sat and thought about what was the problem and 'click!', OH YES... I did move to a different country. I used to use this product a lot when I was studying in the UK and this winter was the first time I reached for this product after I moved back to HK. I liked using this in the winter in the UK because this cream is as thick as if it's a block of butter (yeah, like body butters), not only very hydrating for use in the dry cold winter (with heating on), the oil in this product also prevents my face from loosing moisture. Yes, there is a slight oily layer after applying but acceptable and it's just the right amount to lock up the moisture without making myself look like a disco ball (back to those days when I was in the UK). It smells really nice, too! You only need a small amount, easily spreaded and quickly absorbed!

However, it's a complete different story when I reached for this in the winter in HK :(Even if I only use the tiniest amount, it took me forever absorbing this cream and made me looked like a disco ball... AND... blocked my pores very badly causing me acnes after two / three days of usage.

I DO recommend this if you are living in a country that's more cold and dry than HK, or somewhere you have heating on all the time that tends to draw the moisture out of your skin. 

I used to like the other products of this line like the oil-free moisturiser and the eye cream, but I don't think I can use any of these while I am staying in HK...:(
