Naturactor Coverface Concealer Review
by:Ivet Barrett








Hello Pretties how are you?
I normally get so excited about a product a few days after I buy it and can’t wait to write a review; then I carry on using the product and most of the time I continue to like it, but sometimes I actually start to dislike it. Because of that, I’m trying to wait at least 2 weeks before reviewing a product I think I really like, just so I’m 100% sure about it. So now I’m here again to tell you something about this Naturactor Cover Face Concealer and how am I in love with this naturactor.




Before I have been using a liquid foundation in the special occasion, parties and even in my work, but now I used this Naturactor Cover Face Concealer, I only need to use this Naturactor Cover Face to even out my skin tone at the same time conceal any dark spots and eye bags or at the same time the blemishes.


I have so many dark spot, blemishes, and pimples and uneven skin tone in my face , you know guys this Naturactor Cover Face Concealer is very effective for that skin issues. Naturactor Cover Face Concealer  it’s absolutely a must-have and I swear by its efficacy. After using this Naturactor it made my skin look smooth and concealed all the unwanted spots in my face. So my shade is 141 and I use the entire product on my face. A little goes a long way so it’s not cakey at all. It has a powder finish with a mild scent. The texture of this Naturactor Cover Face Concealer is that it’s a cream but not too creamy it’s  just  like a creamy powdery type.
I recommend by using this naturactor  use the stippling brush rather than blending with hand or concealer brush because at first I tried those methods and it just doesn’t look right.











So once the Naturactor Coverface Concealer is applied it doesn’t give that heavy or sticky feeling whereby you maybe need to wait for it to absorb it absolutely feel like powder on your face. Very light weight this is so amazing. The Naturactor Coverface Concealer will last the entire day and I have combination skin. So

You will not regret not having this in your make-up kit. You can use it anywhere you are and easy to apply.







RESULTS





On the pictures you can see that this Naturactor Coverface Concealer really brightened my skin, after applying this Naturactor it made my skin look smooth and concealed all the unwanted spots in my face.



There are only 5 shades available, which are 130, 140, 141, 151, 171 My skin tone ranges from 130 to 141; I’m currently used 141 and I think this is the shade match for me.









Base on my opinion:
PROS of  Naturactor Coverface Concealer

·         Small jar but last long been having this for about 6 months now.

·         It evens out skin tone when used as a foundation. It doesn’t leave marks of blemishes at all.
·         Easy to use the creamy texture makes it easy to blend with the skin. It easily blends with my skin tone, doesn’t look cakey at all!
·         It doesn’t have a foul scent. It has a really really subtle flowery scent.

·          I love that a bit product can be blended to give a nice coverage to my face.


 CONS of Naturactor Coverface Concealer


  •         It is expensive than most of the drugstore concealers.
  •        Unlike when I’m using bb creams, I noticed that I get super shiny half way through the day.      
  •       Not sold in stores need to get online & be careful of fakes.






Okay that’s about all I’ve to say about this product. Try and you will see the good result and you will love Naturactor Coverface Concealer too.

You can buy this Naturactor Coverface Concealer in this website www.naturactorfoundation.com



All in all I can say that Naturactor Coverface Concealer is winner . I will give 5/5 stars, this is the best concealer that I used .

Michael Todd Pumpkin Facial Mask Review: So Yummy You'll Want to Eat It

Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient- Rich Facial Mask Review
Ooooh, a pumpkin mask. I'm a big fan of pumpkin (yes, I fully admit to being one of the people that stalks Starbucks every fall) I'm also a big fan of smooth skin, especially when I can get it fast. And smell yummy pumpkin while treating my skin.

So, yes, it does look like someone basically just mixed up some canned pumpkin and maybe some body lotion. It smells just like fresh (?) canned pumpkin, and when you smear it on to your face it looks like it too. There are a few slightly bigger chunks in it, but they're soft and didn't bother me. They just made me feel super pumpkin-ish.

This mask doesn't dry on your skin like a clay mask, but it did tingle slightly for me. It wasn't unpleasant, didn't hurt, but there was definitely a little bit of a tingle. It rinsed off easily though I did wash my face afterwards to ensure there wasn't any residual mask left on my skin.

This mask is basically a light chemical peel, the pumpkin has been blended with Glycolic Acid. The Pumpkin also contains enzymes and helps to lightly exfoliate the skin. Remember that chemical exfoliating does make your skin more susceptible to the sun, so be sure to wear your broad spectrum sunscreen!

After washing it off my skin is smoother and I feel a bit glowy. I used it a few times a week for about 3 weeks and over time it helped to clear out my pores. Smells yummy and works well (without any skin irritation?) Count me in!

  You know how we girls use BB Cream or CC Creams to have beautiful blush white skin?  . Imagine if we can do that to the rest of our bodies. Impossible? Not with SkinWhite PowerWhitening Lotion.

It comes in the ff. sizes and prices: 50ml/70php, 100ml/123.5php,200ml/235php
  1. Whitens upon aplication; (contains an Titanium Dioxide. An agent that provides the white appearance to the emulsion which in turn also projects that instant whitening effect upon application. It also provides the sun protection  your skin needs);
  1. Significantly whitens in as fast as 7 days;
  1. Whitens continously to reveal skin's whitest white

http://bit.ly/InstantWhite and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9JYVmfFYo






SkinWhite introduces us their most advanced lotion yet. It does not only promise us intensive whitening in 7 days but it provides instant whitening upon application! I'm a bit sceptical about this one but let's see if it works with my test below. Do note that I did not use any filters, or anything similar in the following photos below:








Tada~


While its active whitening ingredient that promises us beautiful blush white skin in 7 days is Vit. B3 and B5. It's Niacinamide! Which I explained in my older posts why it's a good and safe whitening ingredient.

SkinWhite PowerWhitening Lotion has a whopping SPF20 plus moisturizer Vit. E plus Vit. B3 and B5. Their Vitaourish formula that nourishes while whitens.  I do have to mention that this product has a light floral scent and applies well on the skin without the sticky feeling even on a hot day. My skin just felt soft and bouncy :p



Look up. Look down. Look up. Look down. Look up. Look down.

The one below is the area we put in the SkinWhite PowerWhitening Lotion. It looks significantly whiter  and happier than the one above. Look closely and you'll even see a bit of glimmer.  Imagine slathering this lotion on the rest of your body? I'm picturing myself as a fairy with blush white skin, glowingly radiant.

What makes this magic happen? SkinWhite PowerWhitening Lotion has the breakthrough Tri-Power Technology that has the following benefits:
I can't wait for 7 days and achieve my whitest white!

I've been a fan of locally made products and SkinWhite from Splash, one of the largest Filipino owned companies never fail to surprise me with effective products enough to compete with foreign brands. They also make sure that their products are dermatologically tested.

NYX Butter Lipstick Swatches and Review

I got my NYX Butter Lipsticks ($6) a couple of month ago and I’m slightly ashamed to say that I just got around to trying them out,  mostly because I have so many damn lipsticks and just not enough lips. After finally giving them a fair shot, I really wish I hadn’t waited so long to try them  because they turned out to be pretty fantastic! I figured I should share my six dollar joy with the world with a review and some swatches.
I only ordered two shades of these but after trying them out, I find myself wishing I had ordered more. These lipsticks come in 22 gorgeous shades, are oh-so-creamy, super comfortable and the staying power truly surprised me.

Swatches of NYX Butter Lipstick in Sugar Wafer and Mary JanesDSC_0380
Sugar Wafer – nudeDSC_0238
DSC_0221
Mary Janes – true redDSC_0312
DSC_0302-2
Both shades glided on smoothly and and looked gorgeous although Sugar Wafer was a little less opaque than it’s more pigmented counterpart Mary Janes. Mary Janes managed to hold up for most of the day and I’d imagine the other more pigmented shades would perform similarly but I wouldn’t expected the lighter shades to last as long.
I had originally planned on doing a little experiment with Mary Janes using Too Faced Lip Insurance Primer but Mary Janes just had to go and ruin it for me by being too good. The plan was to take pictures immediately after applying Mary Janes, three hours after applying it, and finally six hours after applying it without ever reapplying throughout the day. The following day I was going to do the same thing again with the only difference being I would be using Too Faced Lip Insurance under it this time. I wanted to see what kind of difference in staying power the lip primer would make. I thought for sure such a creamy lipstick would barely make it past lunch but Mary Janes had to go and prove me wrong. It lasted so well that I decided to wait and use a different lipstick for my primer experiment. Without further adieu, here is how Mary Janes held up through out the day!
In the following pictures I only used Mary Janes straight out of the tube. No lip liner, no lip brushes, I wanted to see how it would perform all on it’s own.

Mary Janes three hours later, after lunch and drinking water through a straw. It’s faded and some of the creaminess has worn off but it’s still going pretty strong. DSC_0388
Mary Janes six hours after application.  I had eaten lunch, drank coffee and even taken a nap. It’s faded but not too bad and hey, at least it’s faded evenly rather than patchy like some products. It’s also began to feather a bit but I feel like that could have been avoided by using a lip liner. DSC_0406

Hey guys!
So as you know i have recently gone Cruelty Free (CF). Out with the old and in with the new!
I have literally cleared out all my old makeup that wasnt CF- Its quite bad how much i actually owned without even knowing! But it has given me the perfect excuse to do some online retail therapy!

I came across "Medusa's Makeup" while searching for CF brands on the PETA webisght. I must admit (not to judge a book by its cover) but the name really intrigued me and pulled me in! On the PETA web sight there is literally hundreds of brands and usually i just pick ones that i like the sound of- I am a big kid at heart!

So when i saw the Medusa websight i was blown away! it was right up my alley! *Fist Pump =P

Their range is massive! Packed full of highly pigmented shadows, glitters and pigments! Amazing eyeliners, Mascaras and so much more! Oh i was like a kid in a candy shop!

About Medusa's Makeup

I loved reading their bio on their wesight! They are such a inspirational company that loves promoting uniqueness, and "pushing the envelope!"
Their story is just like a old fashion loved story "boy meets girl, fall in love and get married. They had their own fashion stoer called "Medusa's Circle", and then got inspired to create "Medusa's Makeup" in 1998 which was mainly glitters and eye dusts, which then launched to the rest of the world in 2005!
YAY for us!!

The company is obviously CF, And very affordable! with eyeshadow and pigments selling at $7-$8! Medusa's Makeup isnt afraid to inspire others to be unique and creative! Their range will defiantly help everyone accomplish that!

It is smooth and creamy, easy to apply and blend! Because its so pigmented you don’t need much product at all so the product is going to last a LONG time!
