Majolica Majorca Pressed pore cover

I was looking for the perfect pressed powder that doesn't cake. I've tried a whole lot of pressed powders but to my dismay I haven't found any that suited my skin. Then I found this blog that showed this new brand that was recently introduced to the philippines! who wouldnt fall in love with the packaging! *A* omgomgomg!

So i decided to try it. Its a bit pricey but it's worth it. Majolica Majorca is actually a sister brand of shiseido ( an expensive brand) but whtas good is Majolica Majorca is actually affordable compared to shiseido! with top quality as well! :) you can buy this at any Sm department store!


ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRETTYYYYY!! *A*


Ok so the case comes separate from the press powder. The powder is actually a refile it costs about 800ishhh I forgot (-_-*) ~gomenn and the case is less than 500 :) I also forgot what shade I have all i know is that its second to the lightest one :)

Color selection is limited.. so I dont think it will suit alot of people. For me its one shade darker than my skin tone but the light one is too light .. but still ok! Application?? hmmmm... SMOOOOOTHHH! and it feels like silk! For coverage? not to heavy and not to light but bildable :) just dont put to much cuz it looks weird.. >.<

Did it break me out?? 
nope! not at all! :) and it also keeps the shine away for hours! sorry I dont have any photos >.< ~gommmen again! i'll be prepared next time.


★★★★✰   (4/5)

  • doesn't clog pores 
  • no shine
  • accessible
  • lasts long
  • CUUUUTEEE
Cons:

  • lacks color range 


will i buy it again?

ETUDE HOUSE: Precious BB Cream Mineral (sheer Glowing Skin)

 I bought this last month at etude house SM Mega Mall branch. I'm what you call a HUGE!! Etude house fan.. I consider all there products so cute and great that I cant imagine any girl wont go crazy over there items at first glance. !! :") But anyway.. this is the Etude House Precious BB Mineral in sheer glow.. for oily dry skin? uhmmm well thats what the lady said.

I lready tried this before but only the sample w/c is free with every 1000 pesos worth of purchase..:)

ONTO THE REVIEW!!!
the packaging of this product?? A+!! its so adorable!! and it comes with a pump... but!! i have no idea if the particular item I have is defective ... Its hard to pump.. when the cream finally comes out .. it squirts out!! and you end up with a mess... argh! >__< .. the smell?? its ok.. not to harsh..



this is what it looks like!! :D well it might look kinda dark but once you blend it into your skin... it becomes lighter.. maybe two tones lighter then my skin tone.. :) I like it because it reduces the reddening of my skin.

the consistency ... sticky and a bit heavy on the skin.. if you want heavy coverage.. this is for you... but the stickiness goes away after a while.

this product is actually a good base since it covers up dark spots... :) and another thing.. compared to other BB creams.. it's not that expensive... :)


GOOD SIDE:
~ Not expensive
~ cute packaging
~ Covers blemishes well
~ Smells ok
~ with pump
~ with sun protection SPF 30/ PA++

BAD SIDE:
~ no tone options (if you have dark skin dont buy this product)
~ Sticky and heavy on skin


my overall rating for this product is :
7!! :)
