REVIEW: EnCara BB Cream


Hey pretty dolls!
I wanna share a review on the Encara BB cream that was sent to me by MyrSkin Cosmetics to give a full honest review.


Let's start with the packaging, it comes in a sleek silver slim box  and the brand name is imprinted on the top middle portion of the box.
The box also has circle patterns that reminds me of a stage with spot lights :)





On the top left corner of the box is a label of MyrSkin Cosmetics facebook page and if your interested with the BB cream just check their facebook page or you can email them at myrskin@gmail.com 





At the back of the box contains a description about the BB Cream that it's a 

"Naturalism Blemish Balm Cream, it has a natural protection and cover effect to make perfect skin barrier."

Meaning that the BB cream is more natural to wear plus protects your skin.
It also has its features 





Here's the actual tube of the BB Cream:



For the BB creams tube, its in a sleek black slim tube and the cap is in a dark maroon eggplant color and has a silver/y shinny name of the bb cream in a patterned dots. It doesn't have any shade type.
It also comes in a medium size tube which you can carry on your travel purse when traveling since it's not that too bulky or heavy to carry thus it weighs 50 g, so it's as light as a feather ^_^ 
It's also Made in KOREA.


While at the back of the BB cream indicates it has Sun Protection with SP4 20, whitening Effect, Pearl Extract, Ginseng Extract.
Like wow! look at all the benefits inside these amazing BB cream it has all the ingredients to make your skin healthier & protect it plus gives it a natural glow coverage.

Also below is how to use the BB cream which you can read it from the picture below.






Now as for the primary lid of the product it's sealed locked with a semi foil plastic that prevents the product from spilling inside the cap.




Now let's put the BB cream to a test!

Here's my UGLY dry hand and as you can see iv'e got dryness issues, and my veins & lines are noticeable.



I just pinched the tube with a tiny amount, and the bb creams's color came out in a lighter shade.




Here's how it looks like once blending it. I noticed that once its in the blending process it turns out that it's lighter than my natural skin tone and kinda' has that dewy effect.




I kept blending it thoroughly and the final results is almost 80% of the bb cream's consistency is great and has a slight dewy - matte finish and it's not that too sticky "FEELING" and doesn't flake at all.
It's amazing to see that the EnCara BB cream's coverage did a pretty good giving my hand moisturize since I have dry hands,and covered up my veins and also cracks on my hands :)



Now for my final verdict. . .

PROS:

- I like the sleek packaging box, it reminds me of a stage with spot lights like K-POP :)
- The BB cream is Light weight so i can just bring this on my purse if traveling
- Not so bulky
- The bb cream has that glow/y finish effect 
-It has that scent that's not too stinky 
-I didn't experience any rash or irritation once i applied it
- It covers up my imperfections and lessens my dark circles
- It tried to control my face from getting oily & sweating but I can't blame the bb cream since I am prone to oily skin maybe of the food I eat affects it. For sweating I'm a person who drinks lots of water so my body tends to release a lot of sweat starting at my forehead.
- The coverage is not too much heavy on the skin, in fact it's lighter and felt like it's not there at all.
-It neutralizes my veins on my face & blemishes
- Blends well onto my face 
-The consistency of the BB cream lasted up to 8 hours of my use though I had no retouches at all it manages to stay on my face.


CONS:

- Hopefully they could have a shade type for semi medium-light shades like me since my skin tone is actually in between.
-I think if you wanna make the bb cream last entirely up till midnight, a setting spray isn't that bad to use. (JUST a PIECE OF ADVICE).



Over all I like how EnCara's BB cream turned out onto my skin  ^_^

Thank you for your time reading this review & I'll see in my next one.

Take Care & God Bless!

Wet n wild ❤ Vanity & Lust Quad Review ❤


Hey Pretty Dolls  ❤

I'm Back again for another makeup review and I have been eyeing on these lovelies for quite a while. So I purchased two quads from Beautoussisters Shop. 

Their shop contains lots of cosmetic brands which you can choose :)

Just check out their Facebook here:




https://www.facebook.com/beautoussisters.shop


The first quad that i purchased from their online shop is the wet n wild quad in "Vanity" .




the palette comes with a basic instructions on the back of the quad, this is to use these lovely shadows on your eyes. 
The instructions are basically points on giving you a idea on how it would look like on your eyes. :


For the eye shadows here's a clear view :



The quad contains (3) Three Matte shadows and (3) Shimmers.

Plus the quad comes with a Sponge applicator and a mini eye brush. 


Now Let's compare the First (3) eyeshadows on the Left side.


The first (3) eyeshadows are in matte because from it's texture the eyeshadows are bold and has a smooth surface.






On the right side of the matte eyeshadows, there are (3) Shimmers.

They are Shimmers because they have these kind of golden or silver-ish flex in it.
Plus Shimmers tend to give that shinny effect.



now for some SWATCHES . . . 

Here's a Clear shot without the flash of my camera, and how the eyeshadows looks like :


Notice how the eyeshadows stand out even in a natural view. The Mattes did show up and caught the Dark brown, Milky-Taupe Brown and the creamy white color.

Also the Shimmers is so pigmented they did stand out too.

Here's a second photo where in the camera is set with a flash.

Again the eyeshadows was caught again because they are so pigmented and vibrant the color didn't fade at all. 




Now let's move on to my second quad which is in "Lust" .




The quad has also a instruction at the back:




Here's how the eyeshadows looks like on the quad:




Again the quad contains (6) eyeshadows, and there are (3) Mattes & (3) shimmers.

Let's compare the mattes of the quad and the shimmers in it.

On the (LFET SIDE) there are three mattes that the quad consist.
(TOP) the first is a Pinky to white color, and the middle one is a matte medium plummy color, and the bottom is a Dark Egg Plant eyeshadow color.

The Eyeshadows doesn't have any specific name that's why i just described the colors according to it's appearance.

They are matte because their surfaces are in a bold color.


The quad also consist of (3) shimmers on the right side portion. Shimmers? because you can tell from it's appearance the eyeshadows has some sort of gold or silver flex in it. Plus it has that shinny effect.

On the (TOP) the eyeshadow is in a shimmery pinky cream color, the middle is kind of a Gunmetal, and the last color is in a deep space purple-y color. 




now off for their SWATCHES . . .

The first picture is a swatch where in i didn't use the flash of the camera, instead it's in manual mode.

what I love about these swatches is, the eyeshadows has so much pigmented in them and the colors does stand out pretty well.

The mattes here are absolutely lovely it's just the kind of matte shades i want :).
For the shimmers the flex in it is in there but it's not that shimmery and has less fall outs.


Here's another second photo where in the eyeshadows are taken with the flash of my camera.
Again the colors gave me another good impression because the color didn't change at all, it stays bold. The mattes stays the same and for it's shimmers, the flash caught the flex in it but this time, with the flash of my camera it shows that it has lesser fall outs.


Now for my Pros & Cons, these are just based on my own opinion on this review about the quads. 

PROS:

* The first i liked on the quads is the colors of the eyeshadows, (or course! :D ) because from its mattes  and shimmer they combine just perfect for the look you want.
*The eyeshadows are pigmented.
*The eyeshadows has less fall outs on it's shimmers.
*It's easier to carry along with it on your small purse.
*The eyeshadows are compact in a rectangular shape which is good.

CONS:

*What i did't like on the quads are the small brush that comes along on the quad. Because the bristles are stiff and fanning out. It's hard to use the mini brush because it might just cost a lot of mess with the type of bristles on it.
*The quad doesn't have any mirror on it. So it's not multi functional because you do need a mirror for your application. Or at least the quad should have come with a mini mirror just to fit for your eye shape.

Well i think that's it dolls for my reviews for today.
See you all in my next review.

Take care & God Bless!

❤ Sigma FLAT KABUKI F80 & ROUND KABUKI F82 Brush ❤ Review

Hello pretty dolls! 

So weeks before i was in instagram and i posted a picture of my new Sigma Individual brushes , and here's the first part on my review which is the Sigma Flat Kabuki Brush  or known as the Sigma F80 , and also i got the Sigma Round Kabuki Brush or known as the Sigma F82.

The reason for this is that i'm not saying that i'm fed up with my old flat top brush, it still works just fine but while my old flat top brush is in it's application it works in my liquid foundation, but for powdering and setting my face it seems like the powder kind gets less on my face and it doesn't seem to stay on my face :(

So now moving on to my review :D


I purchased two face brushes for my personal use 
These are the  Sigma F80 brush  which is the flat top kabuki brush and the other one is the Sigma  F82 brush which is the Round top kabuki brush. 


Starting first with the handle, the detail looks absolutely good, the name of the brush is  not sticked on it's carved and has a glittery effects in.
Plus the handle is finished topped with a glossy surface.



The ferrule is also carved with sigma's signature brand :)




From the it's point of side view , the bristle of the brush is flat top and in a slim shape.



It's bristles is super, even touching with my finger tips it is really soft.



Now from it's top view the brush itself has a flat surface and it's shape is perfect for areas that needs to be packed on with either liquid or powder foundation. The good thing about this brush is that it blends in your foundation just to pack it up on your face & blends it evenly.



Now for the second brush that i purchased is the Sigma F82 or known as the Sigma Round Kabuki brush.
This one is different than the F80 because it's bristles has a rounder shape plus it's kind of like fluffy   .



Again with it's handle it's carved with Sigma's name on it and the name of the brush plus where it's originated from.

 


The ferrule is also carved with sigma's brand signature:



I noticed something about the brushes front view, it's shape is in a upper arc shape form , plus it's bristles are in it's precise shape too.



On the top view of the brush it's much rounder and it's perfect for your powder foundation to blend into your skin with a circular motion, this helps applying your powder foundation evenly throughout your entire face. It also helps cover on certain area's that are hard to reach in like around your nose, mouth.






For my over all review this brush is perfect for my every day use, it get's the satisfaction of it's work and application on to my use. 


I bought these brushes from Sigma.com

PROS:

 With it's shape & design i it!! :)
 The weight of the brush is a bit heavy but great and handy to carry on your makeup bag for retouches.
It's bristles are soft.
It's application is much better and easier to blend in the face.
The color of the tip of the ends of the bristles are white, and it's a good thing because you can easily see that it picks up the amount of foundation that your are going to apply.

CONS:

NONE !


That's it pretty dolls ,
Take care & till next time for my other review
