Anyway, while I'm preparing for a special post (it's taking me a while to answer the questions haha) here's a quick review of my powder of the moment. I decided it was time to hand back to my mom the foundation I "borrowed" from her, even though it has already hit the pan.
I got this because of the posts I've read from Ms. Donnarence's My Lucid Intervals and Ms. Say's Makeup By Say Tioco Artillero. I figured that if they were singing it praises, I should try one too. But, man, it was so hard to get ahold of one. This was literally the last piece and the nice SA and her magical sales-talk power convinced me to buy this.
Comes in 3 shades (Mine's #3, which is a tad too dark for me)
Price: 194.00
I think it's about 7g
Pros:
1. Has SPF
2. Oil control is about 4-5 hours, which is good enough for me
3. Works like a BB cream, making the face seem smooth and almost poreless
4. Has coverage. Around light to medium coverage
5. Travel-friendly
6. Sponge is of good quality
7. Can be blended to match skin tone
8. Didn't give me breakouts or rashes
Cons:
1. Almost always out-of-stock
2. I have a thing about pink. I don't like the color, but this is just a "me" thing. Doesn't affect the quality of the product whatsoever.
3. Not my exact shade, which is my fault =)
I like this powder actually. I just wish that I waited for them to have stocks of the one that suits my skin color. #3 can be blended to match my skin tone (just as how the SA demonstrated it to me) but when I don't blend it well, you'd see how my face is of a different color than my neck. It's just a tad darker so it's all good with proper blending. When this runs out, I'll just grab the lighter shade.
Stay warm and dry guys! Cheerio!
P.S. To Nicole, the sweet girl who tagged me for the special post, if you're reading this, I promise to hurry up and complete the post. =)
