[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 ^^

PS: i was pick as the finalist of Hot Star Indonesia's selfie contest! Can you guys please help me, by liking my picture on their page please?

[SWATCHES & REVIEW] Cream Blushes: Too Faced, The Body Shop and Canmake

Good afternoon people!

Today i want to share some swatches and reviews about 3 of my favourite cream blushes:

Too Faced Full Bloom Cheek n Lip Creme Color(Prim & Poppy), The Body Shop Lily Cole Lip n Cheek Dome
Canmake Cream Blush No.8

Swatches without flash:
Too Faced Full Bloom Cheek n Lip Creme Color (Prim & Poppy) -->The Body Shop Lily Cole Lip n Cheek Dome -->Canmake Cream Blush No.8

[with flash, same order]

First let me  review my most favourite cream blush that can go with any kind of skin colour:


Too Faced Full Bloom Cheek n Lip Creme Color (Prim & Poppy) :

As you can see in the swatches picture, this cream blush is very pigmented, it has a pinkish coral colour with dewy finish look, perfect for those people who love a dewy finish, because it's very pigmented you only need to use a little of the product for daily make up, as for stage make up or camera ready make up, you can also use this blush! just add a little more and you are camera and stage ready1 i always use this whenever i have a performance ;D one of the example:

[Not a big fan of selfie so i can't find my close up look :(]

I took this picture after the show, and i've applied the blush around 7 hours before the show and touch it up 2 hours before the show, we had a GR and i dance in 4 dances, so you can imagine how much sweat i produce, and usually the real show is the worst lol this blush, not only is very pigmented but also long lasting, and to buy it for only 12 euros! (i think i bought this blush when i danced at Athena or somewhere around europe) i'm soooo happy~
For those who lives in Indonesia and want to buy this, you can always order it online, or you can go to Singapore's Sephora, i remember seeing the Too Faced booth there :D

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED for you who need a long lasting blush that can be used naturally or boldly, it also perfect for any skin colour because it's a pinkish coral colour, that look natural in any skin colour, my friend ha tried it and they all match!


Next one is:

The Body Shop Lili Cole Lip & Cheek Dome

This is a limited edition cream blush from The Body Shop, it was made and design by Lili Cole, this is my favourite blush for natural look, and i can use this everyday without worrying because the ingredient is very gentle for our skin, the colour is not highly pigmented because it didn't use any heavy chemical or the lady bug's shell, so i only use this for a natural look, not for performances, one of the example:


this blush didn't give much dewy look, unlike Too Faced, so it's really really natural :D, the reason i love this blush is because the gentle ingredient, i don't have to worry about my skin breaking out, and the color is pretty and very natural, it's not very long lasting though i think around 4-5 hours and you have to reapply it again, oh and because of the gentle ingredient, to make the colour appear, you kinda have to swipe it 2-3 times, i usually just use 2 swipes, but sometime, whenever i feel so pale i use 3 swipes hehehe


And last!!


Canmake Cream blush No.8

as you can also see at the swatches picture, this baby is very pigmented! but...i don't recommend this for those who doesn't have a fair coloured skin...because it's a very pale pink, and this can't be use for performances too, only for natural, or if you want you can use this a a base for powder blush, or to fade the colour of the blushes that is too bold, here's how it looked on me when i still has a fair skin(after greece and bali my skin is currently tan TvT)

[i'm the right one btw]
See? the colour is sooooo soft you can't even tell whether if i'm using any blush lol
, this blush can be used as a highlighter too, because it has a pearly finish :D

well~ those are my top 3 favourite cream blushes!!! what about you guys? please tell me from the comment below ^^

[REVIEW] Too Faced Jingle All The Way Holiday Pallete

Hello people!

Today i want to review my new favorite pallete! It's the Limited Edition Face Palette from Too Faced


It's a super mini palette that came inside an iphone 5 case!!


The case design is so cute~

 Here's a closer look of the whole palette




There are 9 satin eyeshadows, 2 matte eyeshadows, a bronzer and a pink blush in a very space saving pallete,perfect for traveling ;) too bad it didn't cane with tiny applicators though heheheh

Now let's see the swatches shall we?

 [just got back from the beach and i got sooooo tan T_T]

Top: with UDPP 
Lower: nothing

The eyeshadows are already pigmented without a primer already :3

And here comes the bronzer and blush:

Top: with MAC Mattifying face primer
Lower: nothing

The blush and bronzer are also pigmented! The color won't match my currently sun burned skin though...but this color will look great on fair skinned people,it IS a palette for winter,where most people are pale so i don't recomend people with tan skin to use the blush...the bronzer,however, will look great for tan skinned people and also dair skinned people ;D

The price for this baby is only $19 now!!(winter sale) you can get it on sephora ;) 
I totally recomend this palette!!! Grab it fast before it's too late!!!
