L'oreal HIP Foundation

My foundation for 3 years now. :)

I mix 802 Sand and 808 Cafe to get my perfect shade. Cafe alone tends to darken me a few hours after application. Sand is my exact shade, but I mix Cafe to add a little bit more hue. It is the only foundation that's labeled with red (cool) and yellow (warm) undertones. It's impossible for you not to find your perfect match. Coverage is full. A small amount is enough to cover the whole face. The dried up liquid in the cap works excellent as concealer for dark spots. My mom and sister (who has extremely sensitive skin) got hooked to this too. It never broke me out. In some cases, it tends to get oily on my T-zone. I just blot the excess oil off, pats some powder on, and it's perfectly fresh again. :) This product is no longer available in L'oreal counters. I always get this from ebay.

New Haul / Quick Review: Revlon ColorStay and Rimmel Lasting Finish

I got a bunch of samples from my fave cosmetics seller on ebay. Because I bought those Rimmel foundations out of curiosity. It's my first time to use this brand on my face. I've used Revlon before though I find it too harsh on my skin. Read the rest of my quick review:

Revlon Colorstay Foundation:

Love: oil-control, full coverage, lightweight, reasonably lasting

Hate: hard to blend, rubbery, nothing matches my skintone

Rimmel Lasting Foundation:

Love: medium-full coverage, lasting, easy to blend, never had any breakouts

Hate: heavy, tends to crease especially when im outdoors

Clarins True Radiance Liquid Foundation

I have three sample bottles in 09 - Capuccino, 07 - Tender Ivory, and 05 - Shell for Php 100 each. I like mixing the colors. At first i thought it's too light on me (I'm NC30-35) but after half an hour it adjusts to my tone. I like the scent too! You can tell it's Clarins. Coverage is light to medium. Never heavy on the skin. It is true that it make your skin radiant, not oily. It never broke me out. Works well with my Maybelline Clear Smooth 2-Way Foundation. I regret not buying more of this product.
