March Favourites and Wishlist

MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream RX SPF 42 PA+++ No.17 I think this will be "the one" for a while. It's like Healthy Mix, one of my favourite ever foundations, with SPF, a shade that matches me and great ingredients. I really couldn't want more from a foundation/BB. It looks natural on the skin and has a medium buildable coverage. Only thing that I might complain a bit is the inconsistent finish on my skin, but that's likely "a my skin thing". Sometimes it becomes more glowy during the day, but not greasy shiny (I mean that without powder because I don't always use it) and then sometimes it's satin. I don't know the connection because I use the same skin care every morning, but it's not a big issue and I still really like this one and it just makes me look fresh. It has arbutin, niacinamide, adenosine, rosehip oil, jojoba oil, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, collagen, amino acids and several extracts.  BOURJOIS Healthy Mix Foundation...

New in #105

MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream RX SPF 42 PA+++ #17 Missha's original Perfect Cover version is quite popular and they launched this RX version last year. I had their  Signature BB  in the past, which I originally wanted to repurchase, but I liked the look of this one more. I love the ingredients - it's makeup with skin care plus a high SPF, so a real BB. It has arbutin, niacinamide (these are before fragrance), adenosine, rosehip oil, jojoba oil, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, collagen, amino acids and several extracts. I had Signature BB in shade #13, which is one of the lightest shades I ever owned, but it has a greyish tone to it, while the new #17 is an updated version of the shade with a beige tone, so neutral and it fits me perfectly. Formula is light, very easy to apply-and-blend (I use a sponge), it just melts into the skin and looks so good. It reminds a lot of Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation , in a sense that it doesn't look like makeup and that's exact...

Maybelline Total Temptation Waterproof Mascara

This mascara has a quite a few terrible reviews of Maybelline's website and it's not exactly the most popular of their mascaras, but I didn't listen to the criticism for once and got it anyway. It was an instant hit with me. Waterproof version is like always not available in drugstores here, so I got mine online, but we have the regular one in the peach packaging.   This is another mascara that can hold my lashes up and that is the most important thing to me. It's not unlike my other favourites ( Revlon Volumazing wp , L'Oreal Paradise Extatic wp , Essence I <3 Extreme ), but this one is most lightweight on the lashes. When it was new it was also great at fanning out the lashes, then the next month it got a bit clumpy, but now it's again like it was when it was new, so I don't know what that is about, but most of the time the effect this creates is good plus the lashes stay flexible and are still soft enough. The formula looks kind of rubbery on the tip o...
