Bifesta Cleansing lotion (sebum)

Sm north had a 3 day sale today and we bought a lot of stuff ^_^ ... I wanted to buy clothes but couldn't find any that I liked so I ended up shopping in watsons or the health and beauty section of SM department store... Here are some things that I bought.. 

But for today I'll be doing a review on Bifesta cleansing lotion.. ^_^

i absolutly love japanese products. ʅ（´◔౪◔）ʃ ... This product is called Bifesta cleansing express cleansing lotion in the Sebum Variant... This is suppose to remove your makeup and reduce oild production.. 

I have a super oily face with some dry patches :p

This is how the bottle looks like when you remove the plastic cover with the english translation...

It is in a pump form  :) 

Its a bit pricey...  php419 but worth it ^_^

It's much cheaper than other cleansing lotions.. and you get a lot more product ^_^

Smell

It has a mild smell... Or no smell at all... I cant explain -_-... 

does it work?

left to right: black eyeshadow, cream blush , revlon colorstay, fashion21 lipliner , etude dr lash, and shawil orange blush.

Apply product on a cotton pad... I used one pump...

first wipe.... got rid of most of the products except for etude dr lash..

second.... some blush remain and a little bit of lip liner ...

And 3rd!!! no makeup :) 

I had to wipe it three times... for the face and heavy makeup it might take a while to fully remove :p

 cotton pad with makeup residue... eeewww. (⊙◞౪◟⊙)

for oil control ... I haven't seen any changes yet... as for break outs... none... I used the Bifesta cleansing lotion in the brightup variant  and I loved it... It's not the best but I have yet to find a good makeup remover :(

will I purchase  again? Yes... but I want to try. something new :( something that will remove my makeup more efficiently with less product ...

Positive:

+price is ok php419

+ dosnt break me out

+no smell/little smell

+dosn't sting face or eyes

+localy available

+pump 

negative:

-might be pricey for some people

-you need to wipe your face a couple of times to fully remove makeup

- doesn't reduce oil

Carmex ~ moisturizing lip balm

 ^_^\I was looking for a good lip balm that would leave my lips feeling soft and smooth all day... I'm not a fan of chapstick since I feel like it doesn't work and nivea tinted lip balm looks like I've been eating candy :p I have yet to try nivea's untinted lipbalms... 

I went to Trinoma the other day and ran into the lipbalm section... I saw Carmex a brand that I've seen on blogs countless of times... I heard good reviews.. :) I bought the carmex moisturizing lipbalm in the clickstick form original flavour ^_^ for php 109.75

The packaging is simple.. :) It has SPF 15 so your lips can be protected from the sun ^_^

The back of the box... has the product description, directions , warnings etc... It also says Carmex products are tested on family members.. not animals ... ♥\^_^

The stick is also simple as well... and has a safety seal so you dont have to worry about safety and if a customer wanted to try it >_<

When i first applied it on my lips it felt sticky but went away after a while... it left a nice cooling sensation that made me feel it realy was treating my lips ♥... One thing that bothered me was the SMELL ... it may sound weird but it smells like the zoo... elephant poopoo .. -_- (why do I notice the weirdest things) I asked my sister and she said it smells like burnt rubber... when I told her it smells like the zoo...she said "OMG! you're right!" smells like elephant poop!!! XD it goes away after a while but I hate the smell when freshly applied.... 

After a few hours it left my lips nice and smooth. :) I love how it feels :) All in all.. i love this product... smells terrible but the positive factors outway the negative ones ^_^ 

POSITIVE:

+cheap php109

+nice packaging

+leaves lips smooth and soft

+cooling effect

+releives chapped lips

+locally available 

NEGATIVE

-smells like the zoo "elephant shit" 

WARNING: dont wear this on a date XD

will i buy this again?

YES!!!! but different flavour!!! XD

High lighter beam

It's been ages since I last posted an entry to my blog. I've been busy with work. :( So anyway.... I'll be posting a review about The Faceshop high lighter beam!!  

I wanted to buy Benefits High beam but it was so expensive. I heard other bloggers saying face shops high lighter beam is a good dupe for benefits High Beam.. so I wanted to give it a try since im on a tight budget haha XD 

THE FACE SHOP high lighter beam is cheap (wayyyy cheaper than benefits HB)  TFS highlighter beam is worth php495 only!!!! :) but is it good? 

This is what the packaging looks like... The box is sooo pretty and shiny !! :) I absolutly love it... for the container it's similar to benefits HB in a nail polish like container.. :) I think its higyenic and prevents germs from contaminating your makeup. :)

when swatched... it has a pinkish tone to it.... it's thick but easy to blend. For the smell.. it smells sort of like paint with a hint of milk :p but you can hardly smell it once its on your face :) so it's ok... ^_^

This is how it looks like when slightly blended into the skin... it looks more silver now.... 

and when thoroughly blended into the skin it gives a nice glow .... :) 

I love using this to highlight my eyebrow bone and the upper part of my cheeks... I hate using it to highlight the bridge of my nose because it makes me look oily throughout the day... and seems to settle into the pores on my nose .... Im not sure if I'm applying it correctly.. huhu 

all in all.... I am in a love /hate relationship with this product... I think I won't buy this again... but I'll give it another try :) I think I'll use this for cosplay or something since I noticed some beautiful cosplayers using highlighters to make them look slimmer and makes their makeup more dewy :)  examples are some korean Cosplayers Tomia and Miyuko  

You can also mix this with your foundation to have a glowy complection... I prefer using it that way.. ^_^ hehe

VERDICT

Positive

+nice packaging

+hygenic container

+easily blendable

+cheap php495

+no strong scent

Negative 

-settles in pores and fine lines

-makes face look ouly if not applied correctly

SCORE:

3.5/5
