Dermablend's Meet & Greet with Sam Milby :)

Hello Candylovers!!! 

Last May 26, Sunday, I was invited by Dermablend to be part of the Meet & Greet with Sam Milby at Cash  & Carry Mall, Makati City. It's actually a post birthday celebration for Sam Milby since his birthday was 3 days ago. (May 23, 1984) and yes! he's already 29 years old. :)

As you may not know, Dermablend has been in the trade industry for so long that it captured the taste of the market that satisfies the whitening needs of their loyal users. Sam Milby proudly told us that he's been using the Dermablend Papaya Orange Soap for 8 years now. :) WOW!

I got the chance to be seated at the VIP area where I'm infront of the stage. Woohoo!! :)

but for some, they must buy P150.00 worth of Dermablend's products from May 6-26,2013. And they will have the chance to win prizes/raffles on the event. :)

Seated beside me is Ana Alina of ANAlysisofmylife or should I say... Mrs. Milby! :p

My CARA Airfit BB Cream Review

Hello Candylovers!!! Are you a fan of BB Creams?? What are your favorite brands of BB Creams?? Have you heard about CARA AIRFIT BB CREAM? 

NO? then let me share you my thoughts and review about this product.

Product Info:

CARA AIRFIT BB CREAM

- is a matte-finished, tinted facial moisturizer and sunscreen in one especially made for warm weather. Also perfect for active people and those with oily skin.

The ultra light texture glides on silky smooth for flawless, natural-looking coverage that leaves your skin radiant.

IT WILL HELP YOU

- brighten your skin, eliminate dark spots, fine lines and other unwanted marks of aging the longer you use it. It brings a natural glowy look that will make you look youthful and refreshed all day long. 

Packaging:

- it comes in a white square sachet with a simple design at the front and instruction/details at the back.

- it's very slim and lightweight, perfect for travelling or for everyday use.

Here are the swatches of CARA Airfit BB Cream at the back of my hand.

that's the original color of the BB cream 

swatching the BB cream using my fingers...

and blending it well. 

Now, here's me using the CARA Airfit BB Cream on my face

As you can see in the photo, the left side is my bare face with no makeup.

And on the right side is where I applied the Airfit BB Cream.

Noticed that the BB cream is lighter than my skin tone and is very dewy finished.

I evenly applied it on the other half of my face and blending it well. 

And here's my finished look. 

Products used:

CARA Airfit BB Cream

Garnier BB Eye Roll on

Jordana Pressed Powder in Creamy Sand

Jordana Blush in Sienna (for contour)

Look Beauty Make Me Blush in Pinch

Look Beauty Brow Perfect

Mary Kay Duo Eyeshadow in Peach n Cream

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

Miners Matte Lip Paint in Peach

After 4 hours of travelling/walking in the heat of the sun with NO RETOUCH.

I'm sweating like a pig and shining like a diamond but my makeup is still intact. :p

Okay, I got the chance to try this new kind of BB cream from the korean brand called CARA, it's the Airfit BB Cream. The first thing I noticed was the name of the product, "Airfit BB Cream". I instantly said to myself that it's going to be lightweight and has a sheer coverage. True enough, when I applied it all over my face, it doesn't feel heavy and cakey. Although I really need to use a concealer to conceal my blemishes and dark circles because it doesn't cover that much and it's not even buildable.

I used my clean fingers to apply the BB cream on my face but you can also use your foundation brush for it. It glides on my skin smoothly and blends really well. Also it doesn't have that awful smell and it's very safe to use. 

I'm really not a fan of BB creams simply because I have an oily/acne prone skin and knowing BB creams, it can make your skin looks shiny and oil more. Also, majority of the BB creams has only 1 shade available and it's a challenge to find the right shade for your skin. 

PROS:

- Lightweight, it doesn't feel heavy on your skin. 

- It makes my skin breathe

- Smells good

- It glides on my face smoothly and blends well

- It doesn't cake at all

- It has an SPF37

- It has a lot of benefits for your skin

- Perfect for girls who has a flawless skin

- Safe to use

- Water & Sweat resistant

- For long term used

CONS:

- Available in 1 shade only

- Makes my skin looks shiny and oil more

- It's not that pigmented and the coverage is not buildable

- It doesn't cover my blemishes & dark circles; you still need to conceal it

- Not suitable for all skin tones.

Overall, I like this Airfit BB Cream for the benefits that I'm getting for my skin but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to buy it as a replacement for my foundation.

A BONNÉ Miracle Spa Milk Facial Foam+Lycopene 7 Day Skin Challenge

Hello Candylovers!! I'm back with another product review and this time it's the new facial foam from a brand called A BONNÉ. 

I was one of those lucky winners who joined the first blog giveaway of Ms. CJ Escuadro aka Pinay on the loose http://www.pinayontheloose.com. And I'm really excited to try the 7 day skin challenge and see for myself if it really works.

A BONNÉ Miracle Spa Milk Facial Foam+Lycopene

An innovative facial cleanser complete with nourishment. A BONNÉ Miracle Spa Milk Facial Foam is formulated with Lycopene to deep-clean facial skin, and contains natural essences to give you lightened, clear and smooth skin with a healthy glow.

MILK PROTEIN moisturizes skin, rendering it irresistibly soft, smooth and supple.

NANOWHITE GLUTATHIONE reduces dark spots and slows down pigmentation; lightens skin tone naturally.

KOJIC prevents melanin formation, conditions skin so that freckles and dark spots gradually fade away, revealing clearer skin.

TOMATO EXTRACT is rich with LYCOPENE, which fights free radicals, prevents wrinkles, keeping skin soft and smooth. 

These were the items sent to me by A BONNÉ/Pinayontheloose.

It comes in an eco canvas bag with A BONNÉ Miracle Spa Facial Foam & A BONNÉ Yogurt Milk Cream Soap. 

We actually have to start the challenge on a specific date but unfortunately in my case I didn't get to. My Auntie forgot to gave it to me until I asked her if she received any package for me. (1 week late) :p

So before heading to my 7 day skin challenge, would like to do a quick review about this product.

The packaging comes in a squeezable plastic bottom tube with a pink opening cap. It has a white background with designs & details all over the place. It looks cluttered and very busy especially the back part of it. 

Although I'm having a hard time reading the description of the product, I must give them the credit of having a complete information. :)

I did take the 7 day skin challenge last April 25. 

The first time I used it, I was really amazed by the rich and creamy consistency it has. A little amount of product is enough to clean your face and neck. The texture is so soft and it glides on my face smoothly. I enjoyed washing my face with this product because it really gives you that deep cleaned face without the stingy/tight feeling. I also like the fact that it has a nice scent to it.

So, this is my before and after photos :p

On the left photo, you will notice that I don't have a flawless skin and have a lot blemishes/dark spots. 

Then after using A BONNÉ Miracle Spa Facial Foam for 7 days, it did whitened my face and lightened my blemishes/dark spots. Also notice that my eyebrow tattoo kinda lightened too. :p (I don't know if I'll be happy about it or not, hihi!)

Although, I still need to continue using it to achieve that clear smooth skin with a healthy glow.

PROS:

- Rich & Creamy texture

- Smells so good

- Very soft on my skin

- Glides smoothly

- No stingy/tight feeling

- Feels so fresh and clean

- Safe for all skin types

- Effective

- For long term use

- Affordable

CONS:

- Design Packaging

- Not available in some market/stores.

Overall, I love it and will highly recommend it to everyone. :)

Btw, I will be reviewing A BONNÉ Yogurt Cream Milk Soap soon.
