C+M 24H Super Hydrating UV Brightening Gel Cream review

Almost done with my current moisturizer and I really loved it so I thought I'm gonna write a review on it..

(＾▽＾)

Brand: C+M

Product: 24H Super Hydrating UV Brightening Gel Cream

Size: 45 ml

Price: $19.10 ($6.80 on sale)

Availability: I found it on Sasa.com

The cream is in a simple styled mint green plastic jar with white cover. The packaging is kinda cheap looking and light.

In the picture: photos of the cream jar from both sides.

As you can see in the picture down below the cream looks clear minty green color and it has beads inside. 

Once put on skin the cream looks clear and the beads disappear as you blend the cream.

The cream has light creamy (I don't know how else to cal it lol ) scent. It is very light and I barely noticed when using the cream. 

The cream is very light and none greasy (as it says..). It moisturized my skin very well. I was actually surprised of how much I liked this cream because I didn't expect much from this relatively cheap (I got it on sale for $6.10) cream. My skin is combination-oily and this cream did a great job with keeping it hydrated without making it more oily. I would definitely recommend this cream if you are looking for something light, non-greasy and highly moisturizing. 

Would I repurchase this product? Yes, I definitely would.

MUA Undres Me Too - eyeshadow palette review

Discovered not so long ago, MUA make up products quickly became one of of my favorites. They are cheap and good quality. There is one of my Top products of last few months.

Basic info

Brand: MUA (Make Up Academy)
Product: Undress Me Too - Eyeshadow palette
Size: 9.6 g (12 colors)
Price: 4 £ (on website)
Website: www.muastore.co.uk

Packaging

Basic kinda cheap looking packaging. Didn't really expect anything else for the price :)

Comes with double sided eyeshadow sponge applicator

Colors

 There are 12 color in the palette:

• Naked - nude, matte color
• Devotion - metallic gold 
• Shy - metallic light sand 
• Fiery - metallic brown(ish) copper
• Lavish - matte purple(ish) grey
• Dreamy - metallic brown
• Tranquil - lighter metallic brown
• Exposed - metallic silver
• Reveal - light metallic grey
• Wink - metallic dark golden brown
• Obsessed - shimery dark brown
• Corrupt - matte black

This is how colors look on my hand in a natural lighting.

Texture/Pigmentation

The palette has both matte and metallic colors. Their pigmentation and texture are quite different so let's talk about them separately.
Metallic shades - Beautiful creamy kinda texture, good pigmentation. Applies very nice and easy. A picture down below is so you can imagine better of how the colors applies and looks on the eyes. One coat of eyeshadow was applied on the primer.

Matte colors - hmm.. much worse texture, powdery; low but buildable pigmentation. The color Corrupt needs separate talk. It is awful! Low pigmentation, very hard texture (need to press hard to get it on the brush), hard to apply. A picture down below is so you can imagine better of how the colors applies and looks on the eyes. Two coats of lavish color were applied on the primer. I don't even know anymore how many coats of Corrupt I put on my eye to get this look..

My opinion

Do I like this palette? Ohh yea! ✿♥‿♥✿ I think this palette is very good for the price. The quality is concentrated on the product not the packaging and I like that a lot because I don't really care about the packaging at this point. I am using this palette a lot and I will keep doing so. I really want to try out MUA's other eyeshadow palette.. 

Would I repurchase this product? Definitely.

Maybelline Nail polish

This is my little collection of Maybelline COLORAMA nail polishes (I think they are called COLORSHOW in USA..)

I have 6 at the moment and these are the numbers:

Well at first I have to say that I really Maybelline cosmetics but these nail polishes are not that good (×_×#
I really expected them to be better quality..

The color 170A is the worst! It has no shine at all and it looks really bad without top coat.. 
Color 645 stains the nails horribly! I never wear a primer before applying nail polish (never needed to). so after i applied this color and removed it few days later my nails were blue! and they staid blue untull the nails grew out..

All the other colors are ok.. nothing special. 

Brand: Maybelline New York
Product: COLORAMA nail polish
Shades: 40 shades
Price: About $3.99
Availability: Drugstore
Would I repurchase: Yes, some of the colors.

Skin79 BB miniature set review

Everyone is going crazy about BB creams lately, especially about Asian brand ones. I already had few western brand BB creams so I decided to check out Asian brands too.
Since I heard a lot about Skin79 BB creams i decided to pick up this set:

Took photo from: http://www.roseroseshop.com/en/bb-cream/40025--skin79-bb-cream-mini-black-set-4pcs-diamond-pink-gold-pearl.html

I picked it up from www.roseroseshop.com for $7.20 The cheapest i was able to find online (＾▽＾)

The set contained 4 mini size BB creams:

• Super+ beblesh balm
• The prestige BB cream
• Super+ beblesh balm triple function
• Luminous Pearl beblesh balm

The first one in the picture is Luminous Pearl beblesh balm. You can't see it in the picture but this BB cram actually has shiny little particles. 

Pros:

• Nice texture
• Light to medium coverage, covers redness and small spots
• Barely visible on the skin

Cons:

• Has shiny particles (I don't really like it, maybe its gonna look better in summer..)

Super+ beblesh balm. I've heard soooo many things about this cream and I was very curious to try it out. 

Pros:

• Nice texture
• Light to medium coverage, covers redness and small spots
• Barely visible on the skin
• Very nice color (very light grey-ish, fits my skin tone very well)

Cons:

• Haven't found yet

Super+ beblesh balm triple function. This one is my personal favorite (✿ ♥‿♥)

Pros:

• Looks perfect on the skin
• Evens out skin tone
• Covers up red spots
• Barely visible on the skin
• Very nice color (very light grey-ish, fits my skin tone very well)

Cons:

• None

The prestige BB cream. Mmm.. nothing special to say about this one.

Pros:

• Nice texture
• Light to medium coverage, covers redness and small spots
• Barely visible on the skin

Cons:

• None so far.

Overall: I was surprised of how different these BB creams are from western brands BB creams. These are a lot thicker consistency and sits on the skin differently. I'm gonna be checking out some more asian BB creams for sure (thinking maybe SkinFood.. )

Would I repurchase? 

• Super+ beblesh balm - Yes
• The prestige BB cream - No
• Super+ beblesh balm triple function - Definitely Yes!!
• Luminous Pearl beblesh balm - Nope
