This BB cream is expensive but a great product. Worth every penny! Super great coverage and lasted whole day on my sensitive oily skin. Does not cause any breakouts on my skin and it matches my skin well :)

Nice gentle basic cleanser. Cleans well without over-drying. My face is smoother and less oily when i use this cleanser. I wish they can improve the packaging

BB Cream -Unlisted Brand - Holika Holika - Face to Change Liquid Roller BB Cream
rated 5 of 5
akane 5/24/2012 8:27:00 PM

Skintype: Sensitive, Oily with occasional breakout Color: MAC NC30, Shu Uemura 300, YSL Beige Moyen This BB Cream comes in a sturdy plastic tube with roller. The roller can be washed and replaceable. You can buy a new replacement roller at any Holika Holika store. The concept of the roller is similar to other department store's liquid roller foundations. This BB Cream comes in 2 shades and #2 matches my skin well. It covers acne scars but if you need really heavy coverage you might need to use concealer. This BB Cream contains Argan Oil and SPF15 and this cream does not give my sensitive oily skin any breakouts. Since it contains Argan Oil it gives pretty good moisture on my oily skin but for those who have super duper dry skin, you might need to use moisturizer or serum before you use this BB Cream. Like other Holika Holika BB Cream, this cream glides smoothly and covers well on my skin. Lasted for almost 8 hours with loose powder. Will definately purchase this again.

The packaging of this BB Cream is very cute and there's a creme blush/lippie in the top cap. This BB Cream comes in 2 shades #1 and #2. I'm MAC NC30 and #2 blends on my skin perfectly. This is medium coverage and on my oily skin it lasted for 5hrs

Liquid -Ettusais - Aqua Liquid Make Up
rated 4 of 5
akane 9/26/2006 3:17:00 AM

A very lightweight oil free foundation. The coverage is sheer but gives my skin a dewy flawless finish. This is a water based foundation and according to the SA, it's great for acne prone skin and i've been using this for 6 months and no breakouts or irritation. Great foundation for daily use but you need to put sunblock before using this since this foundation does not contain any SPF.

I received this in SMIRK from a lovely Muaer and i adore this. This is a great lip crayon/pencil that goes smooth and not drying at all. Love the mandarin-vanilla smell and great staying power.

Liquid -Clinique - Almost Makeup [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5
akane 3/2/2006 1:04:00 AM

I really like this. Love the tube packaging, very hygenic and love the product too. I finished 4 tubes of this and my 5th tube is finishing soon. I'm NC30/35, GA MSF#5.5-6, IPSA 103 and wear this in Medium. This is thicker and creamier than Tinted Moisturizer but provides light coverage and very easy to apply. Evens out skintone perfectly and gives slightly dewy and natural finish. Will definately buy this again in future. Cost AUD45(auch) in Australia.

This is the 3rd product from PONDS that actually works and does not cause any troubles to my skin and it's a wonderful product that i can use everyday & it's cheap! This is a translucent pressed powder that keeps my combination skin stay matte whole day and somehow heals my breakouts. There's 2 powder in 1 compact - White Translucent and a small powder in Pink that have shimmer(great for night/party).
Contains Melanin Dispersion control with Vitamin B3, UV Protection(Ultrafine Titanium Dioxide) and Shimmer Powder(pink).
Packaging - The compact is divided into 2 sections. A powder section and another section on top of it for the sponge. I like the fact that they have separate sponge holder as i dont like my sponge to have a direct contact with the powder.

Primer/ Corrector -Giorgio Armani - Fresh Modelling Make-up Base
rated 5 of 5
akane 12/29/2005 4:39:00 AM

This is by far the best primer from Armani Cosmetics Range. I love their Modelling Makeup Base but this Fresh Modelling Makeup Base works better for my combination/Oily skin. It's a great primer that makes pores dissapear. The Modelling Makeup Base is for All Skin Type and Fresh Modelling Makeup Base is for Combination/Oily. I've been using this for almost 3 months and so far no breakouts or irritation and foundation stays longer and no "frying pan" look when i'm out since i keeps my face slightly dewy matte :)

Just an ordinary cleansing lotion with expensive price tags. I prefer Darphin cleansing milk than this.

Works for the first 3 months then not working anymore. Works great for sensitive eyes cause there's no sting or auch feeling when using this. Some eye cream cause allergic on me but not this one. For the first 3 months, it brightens and moisturized my eyes area but dont do anything to my dark cirles. Cost AUD260 for .5oz

Cleansers -La Mer - Cleansing Gel
rated 3 of 5
akane 10/12/2005 10:53:00 AM

Love this but hate the price tag. This is a simple & gentle cleanser, yet it removes all makeup residue and prevents breakouts. you only need a tiny amount of this foaming cleanser to wash your face. This cleanser is highly scented so if you cant stand fragrance-products, try get a sample first.

Scrubs -La Mer - The Refining Facial
rated 4 of 5
akane 10/12/2005 10:52:00 AM

Great scrub/mask treatment product. Expensive, yes!! It brightens my face and skin becomes like baby smooth..The particles of this product can be harsh on skin so make sure you use this gently. After i'm done with scrubbing, i just leave it on for 5 minutes as mask. Then gently scrub/wash it away.
