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 :-)

Etude House Face Designing Brightener #1 Wannabe Face

It's heavily raining outside. In the begining of December, it seems that every day poured with rain. 

Today I share my review about Etude House Face Designing Brightener #1 Wannabe Face. This is my HG highlighter & face brightener. As its name, it is a face brightener to brighten your complexion. 

On my palm. This has a decent size that 'm sure will last long...

The shade I choose, #1 Wannabe Face, is a shimmery champange beige, making itu so natural on my fair complexion. It also has quite a large mirror which is useful sometimes if I want to touch up on the go. It doesn't come along with a brush, which is actually good, bcs I eventually found the brushes included with products are oftenly useless for me. I prefer to use my own brush.

The powder is smooth, finely milled with super fine & almost unvisible shimmer. It has no visible glitters (thank God!!!). On swatch & after blended, it gives a subtle luminous sheen finish appearence. 

I use this with powder brush or buffing brush allover my face to brighten my complexion or use it as highlighter with my E.L.F. small tapered brush to highlight my temple, nose bridge, c-area, cupid's bow and chin. Light application allover my face gives me a natural and healthy luminous complexion, just like glowing from lit within appearence on my face. It also buildable without being cakey, and you will never be a disco ball even with heavily handed application.

I do prefer this than The Balm Mary-Lou luminizer, which is too yellow on my fair complexion. I also hate the appearence of micro glitters on Mary-Lpu, making less natural result, With Etude House Face Designing Brightener, I always can add healthy luminous touch while stay being on the natural side.

MAC MSFN (Mineralized Skinfinish Natural) Light Plus

MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural (MSFN) in Light Plus

This is another pict with different lighting, slightly brighter lighting...

I choose the Light Plus shade because the Light shade was out of stock at that time. I've read many reviews before bought this baby. They said that MAC MSFN has "forgiving" shades that will blend easily to match skintone. Those with NC 20-25 even still can use Light plus. For my NC 15-20 skin, I assumed that there'll be no huge difference between Light and Light Plus. So, I took Light Plus.

I actually haven't try it yet on my face as finishing powder... But from the swatch I think Light Plus will suit my skin well because my inner arm skin color is averagely same with my face skin color. After lightly swatch it blended well with my skin.

Hope this baby will be my HG!
