[REVIEW] Anna Sui Loose Powder Foundation



Hello everyone! 
Merry christmas to all my christian reader n friends! I hope you guys have a blessed christmas :D

Today i want to write my review about Anna Sui's Loose Powder Foundation!


Tadaaah~

I ordered the 102 shade it's perfect for my skin!


Here's the close up for the product, the powder are inside a container attached to the brush, there's also a plastic cup inside to make sure the product is secured and not spilled


The brush is SO soft, and really small so it can help the powder to fill our pores!

This is the close up for the powder, can you see the plastic thingie? That plastic is  to make sure the product is not overload when we're using it, it has tiny holes so we can just use the brush to get the product, and as usual, Anna Sui's product has that subtle scent of rose,which is really nice

Let's try applying it! The powder is sooooooooooooooo soft it "melted" with your skin! And it feels so light when i applied it, i can only feel the brush,brushing against my face, so light it's like you're wearing nothing on your face!

Okay so the powder is really light, but does it covers your flaws?

So this is my bare face

Let's see if this product can cover all the break out i got from my monthly period eh?

First swipe, see how the powder "melt" into my skin? Let's blend it now shall we?

And TA DAH!!!! Not bad huh for such a tiny amount of powder, to be able to cover that much without the help on any concealer? I'm impressed! 😍😍😍


And tadah! My final looks for today's brunch, i didn't use any more powder to cover the foundation because i love how light my face feels plus the foundation already covers enough! And no i do not use any photoshop or filter here, just took it a few seconds ago with my iphone5 front camera on a bus, i only add a little cream blush so my face is not so pale

Pros n cons time!

Pros:
- very light formula
- micro powder,melt with your skin
- has a lot of shades
- already one set with the brush
- coverage is realy good for powder foundation
- doesn't have to use much of the product for application
- subtle rose scent
- easy to find in indonesia(jakarta area mostly)
- soft brush

Cons
- pricey
- the plastic secure thingie is not so useful...some product still spills:(
- no refills available (yet, hopefully they will have it later)

If Anna Sui is going to launch the refill i will definitely buy it! Love the product so much! But if not then maybe i'll consider it... Because the packaging,while is super cute, is also big and bulky, so i takes space, i do not want to have a lot of the packaging in my table...

So what do you think readers? Do you want to try this product? Or Have you tried this product? What are your thoughts? Share it with me on the comment below! Oh and if you have an instagram account let's be friends! My account is @jacq_tanoto ^^

[REVIEW & SWATCH] Max Factor Lipfinity

Hello guys!

Today i want to share my thoughts about Max Factor's Lipfinity No.142 ! So far this is my fave lip product that have a very long lasting power :) and it didn't make my lips dry too!


This is a special package, where we can get free lip balm when buying the lipfinity, the lipbalm is only okay...and a little too oily for me hehehe

Here are some swatches:


The color is bright coral,and when applied on the lips, it's softer and very pretty and narural!
I applied the product thinly,only 1 layer, this is how it looks when i applied it at 1 pm


And this is after lunch and drink at 5 pm the color is staring to fade but still there

This is after dinner at 6, still.there!

And this is after 2nd dinner at 11, the color in this picture made it seem like the color is still there nicely, but actually the color is already fading

If i'm not mistaken this is the 2nd generation of lipfinity, the old version only had 3 colors: pink,red and nude, the formula for the old one is a little bit more drying for your lips,especially if you use more than one layers, the new generation of lipfinity is better,i have a dark and dry lips, and when i applied this without lipbalm it still didn't dry my lips so i really like it! The result is matte, but if you apply the lip balm you can make it looks shiny and healthy :)

The formula will feel sticky on your lips, some people WILL hate this, it goes away when it dried up but i'm pretty sure this will be a negative factor for this product,so i don't recomend this product for people who hates weird effect on their lips :)

But if you don't mind all that, this is a great product! The lasting power beats Limecrime's velvetines, the color is natural and very pretty! Now they have more variations :D

So my pros n cons for this product are:

Pros:

- long lasting! And it won't fade much from eating and drinking
- the color is natural and pigmented
- didn't dry my lips
- affordable

Cons:

- the formula is sticky so some people won't like it

That is my thought on this product! Have any of you guys tried this? If you have please share your thought on it at the coment below! ^^
