REVIEW: Pond's BB cream

Hi girls,

Its been like forever since I last posted a blog. So Lets get this blog started. YUHOO! :)

I came across Pond's BB Cream last June and I was very excited so I immediately bought it. At first I didn't love it because of the shade of this BB Cream. It is too light for my skin tone which ofcourse is a very big no no for me. So to cut the story short, I was cleaning my train case and out of nowhere I saw my Pond's BB Cream. Then I decided to give this BB cream a second chance. I don't want to do a review unless I didn't tried the product for at least a month or two. So that I can share with you guys an 100% honest review :)

So my Review will Compose of the DPC which stands for:

REVIEW: Ever Bilena Dip Liner

All About JC Jants

Yes! I'm a super fan of liquid liner. I've been using liquid liner like everyday. Every time I go out, I never ever forget to wear my liquid liner. Liquid liner will never ever be overrated. Liquid liner is one of the most most important make up that you must have.. My first ever liquid liner is the ever bilena dip liner. And I never get wrong with this liquid liner. It is one of my all time favorite liquid liner. It is my favorite because it is cheap/affordable. And there's not much make up products that are available here in our place. In my experience with different brands, the ever bilena liquid liner soothes me best.


 So, this is the packaging of the Ever Bilena Dip liner. For me its amazing and easy to apply.

Net wt. 7ml 

Price: P150

Lets start applying the eyeliner. :)

So, I place moisturizer in my other eye and in my other is without moisturizer because I want to test the liquid liner if it will sooth all types of skin: which is oily skin and dry skin. So i have super dry skin and the best way to do that is to apply moisturizer.



--------------------------------------After how many hours--------------------------------------



                 This is what happen after how many hours of exposing through super hot weather.

As you can see, the eyes that have moisturizer smudge out which is bad and the eye that doesn't have moisturizer stays the same.

The eye that I didn't put moisturizer is amazing. Its still the same. The liquid liner didn't move. 

In closer look, the liquid liner just vanish. I look like a raccoon, like I was punch, i have black eye. I don't like it when a liquid liner looks like this. 

LIKES:

easy to apply

affordable

good for dry skin

very black ( some liquid liner is not so black)

packaging is excellent

DISLIKES:

doesn't last all day

not good for very oily skin

smudges

odor is a bit strong

CONCLUSION:

I do recommend this liquid liner. It is amazing. For oily skin, i suggest to set your face with loose powder.

Make-up Essential for beginners...:)

All About JC Jants

Yea, so its been an issue for me whether what is really really my make up essentials. What I must have in my make up kit, if I'm on really tight budget? What make up I really need?

 There's a lot of make up products out there. So it is really really hard to choose if what make up you really need for everyday look. Of course, there are liquid foundations, concealers, mascara, bronzers, blush, lipsticks, eye shadows, pencil liner, highlighter, liquid liner and etc. So I've been thinking about what make up product that I can't live without. Its super hard to choose because I love make up.


If you are on really tight budget and want to look fabulous. Then you must evaluate what you like, what you love, and just go with it.

There are like a lot of make up product that I will die just to have it but After how many hours of evaluating, my MUST HAVE make up essentials:

1). FOUNDATION/ BB CREAM:

                     I can't live without foundation or BB cream. You see I don't have the most amazing skin. And I'm very insecure with my face, so I always want my face to look flawless. Foundation/ BB cream helps cover my flaws.

2). LIQUID LINER:

             I love liquid eye liner to death. It saves my life. Liquid liner makes my eyes pop, smaller, look like an anime. I'm not impress with gel liner for some reason. I guess it is because it dries out easily and I have oily skin so it tends to smudge which I hate. At the end of the day I look like I've been punch or I have black eye which is not good at all. And it also makes my eye bags look very visible. So, I'm not a fan of gel liner.
 

3). CONCEALER
   
          If I can't live without my foundation then I also can't live without my concealer. Concealer have always been my best friend for the past years. I always always have to have a concealer in my make up kit. Concealer for me is a miracle make up product ever. It makes my imperfections vanish. I super love concealer.

4). LIP TINT

        Yes, I can't live without my lip tint. It is very important to me. In my last make up review (nichido lipstick) I said that I'm not a fan of lip stick. Yes I'm not a fan of lipstick, maybe because I haven't tried high ends lipstick or maybe I'm just not comfortable wearing lipstick. Here in our place, make up is a very big deal for them I just don't know why. If your wearing make up then they stare at you and start talking about you which is so weird, it is very uncomfortable.

     I love lip tint because it looks very natural and unlike lipstick it is not sticky. One more thing why I love lip tint, is because you can also use it as your blush which is amazing. That's the reason why I didn't include blush in my list of make up essentials.



               There are lot of products (cosmetics) in the world and not all are affordable. So if youre beginner or just starting to collect make up for your make up kit then always make sure that you have all the products listed. There are high ends brands and also drugstore brands for all this make up products, they are all your choice. So don't forget that looking your best doesn't have to be expensive. Till next time. :)

Review: Nichido High Definition Lipstick

All About JC Jants


I'm not really a fan of lipsticks because I don't like the feel of it. It feels so sticky in my lips. But when I came across the NICHIDO High Definition lipstick, I said to myself lets give it a try. They have 8 shades in their collection which are: glam red, tropical coral, love potion, fetish pink, pretty tulip, rouge blossom, dolly pink and passion fruit. I've been collecting make up for my make up box and lip stick is one of the make up that must be available in your make up box. I'm just planning to buy one just to try it out but then I love the 2 shades which is the Fetish Pink and the glam red, so I decided to buy the 2 of them. This lipstick is affordable, I bought this for P198 which is a very good price for a HD lipstick. I'm looking for nude lipstick in the same brand but unluckily they don't have one. :(


 The lipstick looks like this. The packaging for me is okay. If i'm gonna rate this 1-10, it will be 7/10. I just don't like the print around the packaging. It looks like a lipstick for kids but it doesn't really matter, the product really do matter. The packaging is made of molded plastic. Net wt. 4grams.

I love that it have a removable lip gloss that is in the end of the lip stick. So, if you like extra gloss then you can use that. In my case, I don't like the feeling of stickiness in my lips. It feels very uncomfortable. 

So here's a swatch. It is very pigmented as you can see. Very creamy as well. The smell is like regular lipstick. I really don't like the smell of lipstick, I just don't know why. 

For the fun part. Let's try this out. :)

This is my first application. 

I really don't know why this happen. Maybe I put a lot of product in my lips or its just like this. NO IDEA! As I said I'm not a fan of lipstick. 

After a few minutes, this is what happen.

I hate this. As you can see inside the circle, there are lumps, lines whatever that is. I don't like this at all. It accentuates the crack of my lips. It makes the line of my lips VISIBLE. 

After doing that, this is what my lips look like.

Pretty good. There's lipstick still in my lips which is great. 

So, my favorite the red lipstick. YEY! GLAM RED.

I love this color. It doesn't show my crack or lines, its not very visible unlike the fetish pink. 

So I did the same thing earlier, to see what happen after doing this.

And this is what happen. AMAZING! Its just like nothing happen. :)

So I just go a little bit further, and I try to drink water. To test the lipstick. 

And this is my lips after drinking water. 

It still the same. :) I like it. 

---------------------------after approximately 3 hours-------------------------------

This is my lips after 3 hours. Ofcourse, I eat and drink. Here in our place its super super hot. So also consider the weather. I don't know if it really do matters but just consider the weather. LOL

I don't like this. Just after 3 hours this is what happen to my lips. So you always always need to re touch every 2 hours which is what I don't like. I don't like the idea of going to the rest room just to re touch my lip stick because it looks awful. 

LIKES:

Long lasting, it stays on my lips even though I drink water. Its like a tattoo. It still stays in your lips after drinking water . Very pigmented. Very creamy. It have a lip gloss that goes with the lipstick. Its like a lipstick and lip gloss in the same time. ALL IN ONE. :) I love the shades, very elegant. Very affordable. Local brand which means its made here in the Philippines.

DISLIKES:

There are stains of lipstick in your lips even though you already wash it off. I don't like the smell. I don't like the packaging because it is in plastic (not a big deal though). It accentuates my crack and lines upon wearing the fetish pink but when you wear the bold color like the glam red its not that visible. 

CONCLUSION:

 Honestly speaking I love the lipstick but I just don't like that it accentuates my lines and cracks. The lipstick stays on my lines, that I really don't like about this lipstick. The product is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way. Will I buy this product again? Maybe yes or maybe no, I'm not decided yet but if I'm gonna buy this lipstick again then it will be the Glam red.  

You can still give it a try. This product is okay. If I'm gonna rate this product, then it will be 7/10.

Thanks. Have a wonderful day ahead. :) 

God Bless..

REVIEW: Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-in-1 BB Cream..:)

All About JC Jants


Holla Dreamers ..:)

It's been so long since I last blog. I've been super busy in school lately and I don't have the time to blog. I will do all my best to blog every other day since I also enroll for summer class.

I'm not going to do a Fashion Blog today but instead I'm going to do a BB Cream Review..:) This BB Cream is my all time favorite BB Cream ever and it is the Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-in-1 BB Cream..:)


 BB Cream stands for Balm Blemish. I was very fascinated and confuse about why Koreans have a very good skin. So I ask my Korean friend if what is their secret, then she introduce to me the BB Cream ( BB cream before is not popular yet). Then I ask her, what the hell is a BB Cream since I never heard of BB Cream before. Then she told me that, it is a all in one cream it has Foundation, Concealer, Moisturizer. And I was super amazed so I plan to buy a BB Cream which is not available yet here our place. So I have to do research and I found out that Etude House ( Korean Brand) has a BB Cream so immediately order one, and it is amazing.

Today BB Cream is super duper popular, like all Cosmetic Brands have their own version of BB Cream. And so now, I've been loving this Maybelline BB Cream.

 Things you need to know about Maybelline BB Cream: (This BB Cream claims to be)

              - it brightens, evens, smoothes, refines, clears, conceals, moisturizes and protects skin
              - it has SPF 26
              - it has 2 shades: Natural and Fresh
              - covers imperfections
              - all day hydration
              - helps protect skin from UV Rays


So let's get started:

        
                                      
            This is the Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream. The packaging of this BB Cream is a tube. It is small compare to other BB Cream Brands. As you can see, the product is all over the opening of the tube, which is a mess. GRRR!









First, Clean your face with Eskinol. Before doing your make up, make sure to clean your face first so you can make sure that your face doesn't have excess oil and dirt. For washing your face with your facial soap doesn't remove all the dirt in your face. I think 30% of dirt was remove when your just washing your face with soap or facial soap. Eskinol do the job well, it remove excess dirt in your face and oil. 

 So, this is my face after cleaning my face with Eskinol. As you can see, I have a bit of discoloration in my face. Bad dark circles.

Next thing I do is I place the product in the back of my hands. So it will be easy for me to apply the BB Cream in my face.

            Next apply the product all over your face. This is how I apply BB Cream in my face for it is easy and it blends well.

















  Start blending your BB Cream. I'm using my ELF Powder Brush to blend the product. I like to use brush to blend my BB Cream or Foundation for it gives you a flawless finish. I don't like to use sponge in blending my foundation or BB Cream for it absorb your product, so you end up using less of your product on your face.

   Don't forget to blend your BB Cream in your neck. If necessary you can add BB cream to your neck so that your face and neck match. You don't like your face to look white/dark and your neck is the opposite. But if you prefer looking like "ewan" then don't follow this step. JUST KIDDING! :) This step is a must.:)









       This is my first layer of BB Cream. My Face looks good now. The discoloration of my face is now fix. I have clear complexion, which I love it.





     
                       .









Apply second layer if you like. So start blending the product again. I don't really add second layer but for Blog purposes and for you guys to see if it is blend-able or not. Some products in my case, if I put second layer it looks cake-y in my face.











 So this is the final look. I love it. :)

LIKES:

- It gives my skin glowing effect.
- I have dry skin and this product really moisturize my skin.
- For the coverage of this product it is a medium-light coverage.
- It has a dewy finish which i love.
- it covers my dark circles well, so it helps me to wear less concealer
- it is not sticky
- the odor is okay, not so strong
- the price is 250 pesos (super affordable)
- easy to blend

Dislikes:

- It doesn't last all day, you need to re touch approximately every 3hours ( that's just a estimated time),
- It is shiny, your T area looks shiny so you must put Loose Powder at that area.
- The packaging is not good (for me), the product just scatter everywhere which looks messy.
it is too water-y, it literally drip off which is a BIG NO NO for me.




CONCLUSION:

To sum it up. I love this product so much. It soothes me well. As the product claims it is 90% true. Affordable and the quality is at its best. I recommend this product. Good for students and also adults who is on tight budget. Thumbs up..:) EXCELLENT job as always Maybelline. :)


Bye for now Dreamers. See you tomorrow. :) PEACE out
