Wishlist - Clarisonic Fever!!!

After reading a review post about Clarisonic Mia 2 Mia2 Deep Pore Detoxifying Solution here suddenly I put this on the top of my wishlist. With oily, acne-prone, comedonal skin I always dream to get rid all the blackheads and whiteheads on my face. Clean and refined pore is what I always want since my peuberty age!

Then I went to clarisonoc website, drugstore, skinstore, nordsorm, ulta to browse Clarisonic Cleansing Sytem products, and ended in dilemma... I can't decide which one I should pick.

Me needs:

- Clarisonic cleansing device 

- Travel friendly size (this automatically refer to Mia or Mia 2)

- Travel protective case (ony Mia 2 has it)

- Deep pore brush head or acne brush head (actually there's nothing wrong to start with sensitive brush which is included in the standard kit, I can always buy various type of replacement brush head)

Me wants:

- A pretty colorful limited edition cleansing device

- Travel protective case in any color but white 

- All-in-one cleansing device for face and body (like.... Plus or Pro)

- Various level of speed (hmm, this means Mia 2, Aria, Plus, Pro)

- A cradle! (Plus)

Oriflame Giordani Gold Dreamy Moments Illuminating Pearls

Oriflame Giordani Gold Dreamy Moments Illuminating Pearls comes inside a pink cardboard box with golden flower pattern, which is their signature Dreamy Moments line's pattern. 

Front side of the box

Bottom side of the box

Description from oriflame official website :

"Delicate pearls inspired by the light to enhance the beauty of your skin and illuminate the complexion. Use to accentuate cheekbones and décolleté, or dust all over for radiant luminosity. 25 g"

Ingredients List

The pearls placed in a golden plastic jar with a pink lid with the signature golden flower pattern. 

 

Oriflame Giordani Gold Dreamy Moments Illuminating Pearls in my palm.

It comes with a sponge inside, to keep the pearls fixed and separate them from the mirror on the lid.

 Reminds me of something... Like, Guerlain Meteorites Perles, but in a very affordable price.

The pearls consist of five colors: green, gold, white, pink and lavender, the same size and quantity. Each has its own function: green to counteract redness, lavender to neutralizes yellow skintone, pink to give a healthy appearance, golden to give warm radiance, and white to illuminates and brightens complexion. All  the pearls have satin finish, except the white ones which have visible glitter. Green, pink and lavender pearls seem less than white and gold pearls.

Will do an update post about the swatches :-)

Review: Verite UV Multi Cushion SPF50+++ #21 Cover Vanilla

The box, the compact case and the refill.

I've been eyeing on this baby for a while. There are quite a lot of option from various brands beside Verite, there are Amore Pacific, HERA, IOPE, Secret Key, Innisfree, The Face Shop, Etude House etc. I choose Verite because from many reviews I've read on web, it is said that Verite has the most coverage and oil control. Also the packaging are soooo beautiful...

I'm very happy when first time I saw the box. The box is very versatile with metallic golden champange color. It actually quite bulky but still worth coz it contains a compact case plus a refill. The compact case includes a cushion and a puff, while the refill contains a cushion refill plus a puff.

This is the cushion compact case in my palm. It's slightly bigger and thicker than usual compact powder but still not too big. This cushion is quite travel friendly and convenient to carry in my make up purse, so I can easily touch up my make up anytime anywhere with the puff included. No need extra brush, no need extra mirror.

Inside the cushion there is a protector sticker that covers the cushion, to guarantee the freshness of the cushion and also to prevent the cushion dries. After the protector seal removed, you can see the cushion. 

I feel it's not wet enough at first when I touch the cushion very lightly, but after adding a little pressure the foundation will ooze from the cushion. The cushion itself is like a foam with numerous tiny holes, reminds me of bee hives... :p

Verite UV Multi Cushion is like a shortcut for complexion make up on my make up routine. I can skip applying sunscreen/sunblock and foundation on top of my skincare routine, just dab dab dab this with the puff. For my taste, this can be a good sun protector or a makeup primer but not a full coverage foundation when you look for coverage. Coverage is medium and buildable. It does provide a nice healthy glow with evening out your complexion, but I still need concealer to cover my stubborn acne scars.

I have shade #21 Vanilla Cover and it matches my skin tone very well. This does have a little cooling sensation when it touches my skin. The cooling sensation fade in a few minutes and it actually finishes with dewy finish on my oily skin. It might resulting semi-matte to semi-dewy finish depending on your skin type/condition. On top of this I put another layer of MAC MSFN #Light Plus because I prefer the semi-matte instead of the super-dewy finish on my very oily skin.
