Wet N Wild Ultimate Match Foundation (A Product Review)

Hey lovely readers!

Foundation is an essential beauty product that one must have in her makeup arsenal. Honestly, I have tried a lot of foundations. Some of them worked for me, while others didn't. I have a few favorite foundations, but my current favorite foundation is the Wet N Wild Ultimate Match Liquid Foundation with SPF 15!



Product description (based on the label):
*Refreshingly light-weight formula provides natural-looking coverage
*Automatically adjusts to your natural skin tone
*SPF 15 sunscreen for all-day protection
*Adds a soft radiance to skin for a glowing finish

This has been my current go-to foundation because I like the coverage that it gives my skin. It has a nice coverage but still looks natural. I think this foundation is also perfect for a "no-makeup makeup" look because it gives you that natural glow.

Another thing that I love about it is its longevity. It lasts throughout the day and that's saying a lot because I have really oily skin. 

I love that it also has SPF 15 in it. In the Philippines where it could get really hot everyday, products with sunscreen or SPF really comes in handy.


I am in the shade Bisque. I use my stifling brush to apply this onto my face for an airbrushed effect. ;)

The verdict:

Quality - A+
This is really one of my favorite foundations. Even though I have other foundations, I find myself reaching for this most often. I love the coverage and the natural finish that it gives to my skin.

Packaging - C-
I hate the packaging of this product. It comes in a glass bottle with a cap. I wish it came with a pump. I really find it difficult to get some of the product out of the bottle. :(

Price - A-
I don't remember the exact price of this but I am sure that it costs less than Php 500. For me, this is a reasonable price for a foundation.

Will I repurchase this product? 
Yes, I will repurchase this product! Even though I might find a better foundation in the future, I still foresee myself using this because it has great quality and it is reasonably priced.

What is your current favorite foundation? What is your favorite foundation of all time? Let me know; I'd love to hear from you. ;)

Till my next blog post!

Cream Eyeshadows Anyone?

Hi!

On a recent blog post that I did about the E.L.F. Eyeshadow Quads here, one reader and fellow blogger named India asked if I have tried any of the E.L.F. Cream Eyeshadows. I told them that I haven't tried any of these cream eyeshadows and I thought that it would be fun to try them out and do a review on them.

I bought 2 of E.L.F.'s Duo Cream Eyeshadows and gave it a go! I only bought 2 because I just wanted to try them out. There are I think 5 varieties of these duo cream eyeshadows. I also made sure that I got the ones with wearable neutral colors so that I can wear them during the day.


I got Mocha Swirl and Black Licorice.


Mocha Swirl is composed of a light champagne color and deeper chocolate brown color.


Black Licorice is composed of a silver and a black color.

I have tested these cream eyeshadows in 3 ways. I tried using it on its own without a primer and it creased like hell! I also tried using it on its own with a primer and it still creased. I guess that's because I really have oily eyelids.But when I tried using it as a base, it was magic! I used it under one of my non-cream eyeshadows for a daytime look and I must say that it lasted the entire day with very minimal creasing. It also helped bring out the beautiful pigmentation of my eyeshadow and it helped the eyeshadow stay in place throughout the day. ;)

The verdict:

Quality - B
I must say that I was a bit disappointed about this product. I was hoping to use the cream eyeshadows on its own because they really have some beautiful colors. I was really sad that it creased a lot. But, I am still happy that this product will not go to waste and that I can still use it as an eyeshadow base.

Packaging - B
The packaging is very small and compact. It would be perfect to travel around with and it fits in my makeup bag perfectly.

Price - B
The product costs Php 129.75 and I got this at Robinsons Department Store. Most E.L.F. products cost within that range. 

Will I repurchase this product?
I don't think so. As much as I love E.L.F. products, I don't think I am going to repurchase this product again. E.L.F. hasn't disappointed me with any of their products before and I am so sad that this product did not work out for me. :(

Have any of you lovely readers tried this product? Did you like it? Please comment below and let me know how it worked for you.

Till my next blog post!
