Sofina Primavista Ange Moisture Keep Base UV SPF15 PA++ REVIEW

If you have been reading my blog, you would have known that the primer I use is VDL Lumilayer Primer - I admit it's great for a nightout but not too great during the day because it has a very shiny base so I will end up looking like a vampire in the daylight if I use VDL as my base for my entire face. And for that, I have limited its use to just apply on my nose bridge for a more defined nose look.

When Anna from Fairy Cosme introduce me to this primer from Japan, I got hooked into the fact that (1) popular among asians, (2) moisturising and has sun protection properties and (3) matte base

I have been using this for almost a month now and here I am, to share my opinion with you all :)

There's 2 lines from Primavista Ange: 
(a) Primavista Ange Long Keep Base UV (25ml, SPF 25, PA++)
(b) Primavista Ange Moisture Keep Base UV (25ml, SPF 15, PA++)

So as you can see, the one I got recommended was mainly for hydrating purpose. It is designed to even out the complexion, control shine and prolong the wear of the foundation. 

First impression:
The product has a milky emulsion consistency. It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and it spreads quite well. It has an off-white pink tone and it contains a bit shimmer but when applied on face, it has a semi-matte finish and creates a satin finish. It evens out and brightens up the complexion and the look (right after the foundation application) is also less powdery and more natural. I love the overall finish because I look more natural though I missed the more dewy complexion that I can achieve with VDL but this is a nice change. 

Of course, as the beauty rule of applying makeup goes that “less is more” principle, it too applies with using this primer. If you over-apply it, the foundation can even slide into pores as you apply it.

The main appeal of this product is supposed to be shine control. And it's a tick for me!

Overall, I quite like it because it's a whole different kind of spectrum compared to VDL.
Would I buy it again? Hmm not really.. it's not that this product is bad or anything, but with primers, since I'm new into this line, I prefer to try different kinds of primers out there.















Overall, I hope you enjoy this short review :)
Please leave any comment of what's your best primer!

Thankyou!
Have a lovely day y'all!

Takami Skin Peel Review

Image
Apparently this is ranked #1 in Japan so I thought to myself, ooh let's try this! It then prompted me to ask the owner at Perth Fabulous Beauty about it, the price ($79) I admit, initially threw me off. I felt hesitant because I asked myself, would I take this bet to try this out if in case it doesn't work out at the end? So after a night's thought, I went to the shop..... and bought it! I have been using this little magic for a week now.. and so far, here are my thoughts. You must be wondering what is this product about right? Well Takami Skin Peel proves to soften and beautify skin. It is said to be that the fluid feels exactly like water with no artificial flavour or any added fragrance. It is also said to "solve a variety of skin problems, such as pores, blackheads, acne, fat particles, etc.." "And if you persist using it everyday, you will certainly see the effects." And just from that rough translation, it felt like I need to try this prod...

"Less perfection, more authenticity."

  Authenticity, living life being true to who you truly want to be. Rediscover your authentic self from within. Align yourself to your values and goals and live life authentically, and do not waiver in the face of mediocrity and conformity. May today’s quote (one of my favs) inspire you to be true to who you are. I truly believe that if you’re your authentic self, you have no competition💫 A little personal post today -  I used to own a lil blog where I just write my heart out but for now, I'll spill my thoughts here :) The purpose of our lives is to be happy right? Every time we make a decision, our most important question should be - will it make me happy? Nothing can be greater than our own happiness. It is our life and we need to choose what to do with it. Breathe and keep breathing. Keep trusting the journey you are on. It might not make sense right now. It might feel utterly chaotic and overwhelming. You might feel like sometimes you're living a life that isn't even y...

Kailijumei Jelly Flower Lipstick Review

Image
When this flower jelly lipstick first came out, so so many people on the internet talked and raved about it; and got crazily obsessed over this, last year (?)..... but is it any good with its pretty looks? And yep, here I am, joining in the craze half year later, putting it to the test to see if it lives up to its appearance! Front note, I did a mini review post on my instagram a while ago, link is here if you want to read! I could remember the times when the range was out of stock in plenty of websites and asian cosmetics stores here in Perth, but now that the internet obsession of this has calmed down a little, I thought to do give you all a detailed review so you can decide if you would want to try these out! First impression & packaging: Besides the cute appearance it has, which reminds me of the enchanted rose from Beauty and Beast (with a flower and gold specks encased within a clear jelly like bullet!), let's talk in-depth about the product itself! When I fi...
