6 Reasons why Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Pact failed to wow me

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Pact has received such fabulous online reviews that I had to buy it just before boarding a plane at Singapore Changi Airport. It was priced at a good discount and I normally couldn’t resist when I see a value buy!

Can this mineral pact absorb excess sebum? Do you have to reapply this often throughout the day? Let’s find out!

Hey babes, are you ready for some great stuff?  How about a powder that hides imperfections impeccably? Seriously, I doubt I’ll be able to find another powder that can outdo Benefit ‘Hello Flawless!’ Powder.

7 Reasons why Lancome Teint Miracle Pressed Powder is a Big Miss

January 25, 2015 1 Comment Written by Nicole

“How can this go so wrong for me?”  I wasn’t ready to give it up. You guys know how in love I am with Lancome Teint Miracle Liquid Foundation. I’ve used at least 10 bottles to date and am still stocking it up whenever I travel. So, this press powder version can’t be that bad, right? Over the span of more than a year, I kept trying Lancome Teint Miracle Pressed Powder, albeit on an on-off basis. Whenever I stopped the usage (due to disappointment), I would pick it up a while later with a refreshed perspective and think of excuses on why it might work this time round:

“Maybe my skin condition wasn’t good then.”

“It may work better in hotter/colder climate.”

“Maybe it’ll work now since I’ve gotten fairer.”

“Perhaps I should use my professional brush instead of the given brush.”

Unfortunately, I always ended up regretting putting the press powder on either instantly or a few hours after having it on, depending on the climate.… Read more >>

I absolutely adore Lancome’s Teint Miracle Foundation. The deep love I have for it got me into buying all things tagged with the “Teint Miracle” branding, one of which is the Teint Miracle Loose Powder.

Review of Benefit The POREfessional Agent Zero Shine | Beware – hard work required

I’ve always love Benefit’s products because their packaging is so pretty, and the products are more hits than misses.  Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for Benefit’s The POREfessional Agent Zero Shine.

This is a big let-down for me and the product has since sat in the forgotten corner of ‘unused beauty piles’. Yes, it is probably 95% unused. Not exactly a good investment for me.

 

It’s good that a product has nice packaging and clever naming.

However, the packaging has to be practical too.… Read more >>
