Pure Beauty Jasmine Water BB Cream

Triple function Blemish Balm cream helps correct skin tone and repair wrinkles, with added UV protection.

Description: Jasmine Water BB Crean provides intensive moisture to skin with the help of fragrant jasmine water. It is also an excellent cover to make your skin look more radiant and healthy with a natural glow. Made in Korea. 

 PURE BEAUTY JASMINE WATER BB CREAM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that the makers of PB and BRTC are one. I guess this is the generic counterpart of BRTC's. Interesting.

Anyway, I bought this out of curiosity at Watsons for 300 pesos only. Cheap noh?

Packaging: Personally, I prefer PB's packaging over the latter. It's cuter and squeezes just the right amount I need.

Color: Pink undertone! I believe I have yellow undertone although this suits my skin quite nicely. No whitish cast.

Texture: A bit thick. But not that thick. Somewhere in between.

Blend "ability": Can I say that it's hard to spread, easy to blend? Or just to be safe, manageable. I use my Elf foundation brush and a wedge sponge for an even, flawless application. It works well.

Coverage: Sheer - sheer medium; It can conceal minor redness, blemishes here and there. Then again, it's my opinion. It may work for you, but not for me.

Fragrance: Jasmine scent. If you find it too strong, don't worry the scent settles down a few hours or so. My boyfriend likes to smell my face, 'cause it smells like jasmine (bb cream) and berries (l/c tint).

Oil Control: Average. Hello? We're in the Philippines! Powder and oil blotters are your next best friends. :)

Finish: Clean, semi-dewy.

My overall review:

I never broke out, not once upon using the Pure Beauty Jasmine Water BB Cream for two months. My skin feels healthy and hydrated. It gives you that natural look. Not too made up, but gives your skin a nice boost. It tends to cake when applied too much though. For it's cheap price of 300 pesos for a 30 ml tube, I'm not complaining. :)

WHAT'S UP DUCK?! =))

Why hello there, beautiful people! I've missed you all! I'm sorry for the impromptu month long hiatus, as I have been busy dealing with my everyday life: school, business, school... family and wait, have I forgotten something? 

Oh. New hair baby!

From this:

to this:

Hmmm...

 On the bright side, I think I looked younger and brighter? 


So that sums up my August! I miss blogging and as much as possible, I will try my best to update my site. I haven't done any reviews yet :-o Oh my my my! 


But I will! You wait and see! I WILL LOSE WEIGHT. AND I WILL UPDATE MY BLOG! =D
I have a lot of stuff waiting to be reviewed anyway. :)


Thank you for reading and I hope you could follow me? Pretty please? :)
Be sure to check out my blog from time to time, 'cause I have a few interesting things to share and yes, I will update my blog! Swear! :)


'Till next time!

Suncoat Vegan Mascara

Suncoat

This mascara is natural and sugar-based, enriched with vitamin E. It is good for those with sensitive eyes since it's free from PVP, fragrance, alcohol and glycol. 

 WHAT MAKES THE CONVENTIONAL MASCARA?

Synthetic plastics, such as acrylic copolymer and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer), are found in many popular brand mascaras. They are used mainly as the binding agent/film former in liquid eyeliner to glue pigments and fillers together so the mascara can stays on your lashes. These synthetic plastics are derived from petrochemicals; contain residual monomers (the starting materials for producing plastics, namely acrylic monomers, vinyl pyrrolidone monomer and vinyl acetate monomer) that are not only toxic, but also reactive.

Synthetic dyes, glycol, alcohol and chemical preservatives are also used in conventional liquid eyeliner formulations.

SUNCOAT PIONEERS SUGAR-BASED TECHNOLOGY

Suncoat has pioneered an innovative sugar-based technology for cosmetics and hair styling products, using natural multi-sugar biopolymer instead of synthetic chemicals.

For decades, synthetic plastics, typically PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer), acrylic copolymer, VA (vinyl acetate) polymer, have been widely used in color cosmetics, hair styling products and skin care products. They can be found even in many so-called natural products. These synthetic plastics are derived from petrochemicals, so not the best choice to enhance our natural beauty and to protect our environment.

Suncoat has introduced a unique sugar-based technology to remove these synthetic plastics. In Suncoat natural mascara, eyeliner and hair styling products, a very unique sugar-based biopolymer (polysaccharides) is used in place of synthetic polymers. This sugar-based biopolymer is derived from natural renewable resources, readily biodegradable and most importantly delivers superior performance without harming our systems and the environment.

                                                                                                         http://www.suncoatproducts.com/index-mascara.htm

With Suncoat,

I like it. It's buildable, doesn't clump much and is not prone to smudging. Good for everyday use, I guess.

Although it isn't the type of mascara to give you that "vavavoom" effect, it makes your eyes look pretty, in a natural way. :)

PROS: 

Resists smudging

Buildable (naturally builds lash volume and length)

Lasts long

Eco friendly (It's sugar based!)

Pvp and paraben free

Good for those with sensitive eyes

Not sticky nor flaky

Washes off easily (I don't like mascaras that are sooo hard to remove, my eyes get irritated with too much washing and rubbing)

When it smudges, you can easily remove it by using baby wipes (one swipe and it's gone - no residue)

CONS:

Not waterproof

It doesn't give you dramatic eyes

Availability

SO...

If you have sensitive eyes, 

or if you're looking for an everyday mascara that would give you a natural look,

you can try this one.

Sorry, I look ghastly in my photo. You see, I've been sick for two days now :(
Hay and the flash does not help. I hate my camera, it takes HIT AND MISS photos but it's the only thing I've got right now. I wish my mom and dad would buy me a new one :((
Btw, would you believe I've only used Ponds Flawless White Powder/Foundation, Ponds Moisturizer and The Body Shop tint in this photo? :)
See? You don't have to use expensive products to achieve flawless, skin :)
