Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur SPF 15/PA+

New interesting stuff from Etude House! Beauty Shot Face Blur. You guessed it… it is a primer to ‘blur’ imperfections! Hooray to #Selfie!


etude.co.kr
The lightweight cream claims to:
- Covers pores and bumpy skin to make skin look flawless.
- Softening skin layer like filtert effect to give smooth and even skin layer.
- Natural whitening skin to make dark skin look bright and cover imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.
- Baby pixcel powder and cover powder compounds give 3-in-1 multi filter effect like adjusting light on skin.

That’s lots of claims…
The cream also features baby pixel powder, cover powder and airy skin powder. I suppose all this tech stuff is meant to help with all the claims Etude made on this product. 

I am loving the design of Etude bottle as usual. The pump dispenses perfect amount of cream on my palm.

Now, the cream itself. As you can see it is light in color with slight peachy tint. and… little goes long way… as you can see here on my hand swatch… I used approximately same amount of product with the drop on the left most side… it has to be blended ever so lightly, or else, it looks ashy even on my rather light skin. As for the blurring claim… honestly, after blending to make sure my skin don’t look ashy (the right most part, divided with grey crooked line), I don’t see the cream hiding my pores or concealing my skin imperfection and bluish-vein marks on back of my hand. 


Trying it on my face, after my regular oil moisturizer, it does feel lightweight and I don’t feel like im adding extra layer on my face. But… all the blurring and smoothing effect is not very visible at all. Plus, the ashy, white cast issue… makes me think that it work be suitable for beauties with deeper skin color… but I think, it will give whitening effect on the suitable light skin colored beauties. 

Bottomline,
Lightweight, yes. Blurring, smoothing etc…not so much.

Clear Last Treatment Primer - Base Make Primer

Honestly, I have no idea what is this thing I grabbed off Sasa Taipei’s rack. It just looked pretty in pink and the illustration of lady on the box was just reassuring that this tube is going to do me good. 
Clear Last brand belonged to B&C (previously Sony CP), famous Japanese brand. Clear Last products are supposed to give us long lasting clear skin. Sounds nice!
Unfortunately I cant read Japanese, and when I visited their website (http://www.clearlast.com/index02.html) , this product is not listed anymore. May be it is discontinued or upgraded? 
This primer is light beige in color and offers no coverage at all. It preps my skin before make up very well. I applied mine after my daily moisturizer. My skin feels and look matte – my colored make up (eye shadows and blush) applied nicely. Unfortunately for me, this doesn’t help controlling my oily T zone.  
the tube says it cotains W hyaluronate. looks like it is supposed to moisturize too, since it also says 'moisture essence'. however, I dont feel this primer moisturize my skin. it just make my skin ready for make up and matte.
Bottomline…
Nice addition to my make up wardrobe, but not an essential one. I am going to use this only with sheer eye shadows & blush.

POP Beauty Bare Texture 3D Eye Shade Kit

This palette offers... 39 colors in one small, okay not-so-small box! YAY! Comes with tiny bottle of Eye Magnet shadow primer too!

See the colors... lovely! I just love the way POP Beauty arranges these shades.... highlight on the left, colors and medium shades on the mid and liner colors on the right! Oh... mattes on top, shimmer in the mid and bottom rows are for the glittery sparkly colors!

Love the texture, soft and pigmentation are pretty good. Some colors seems to blend too well with my skin tone. Anyways... swatch time!!!
Mattes:


Shimmers:




Glitters...


And the eye primer and brush. I don’t like the brush... too plasticky and hard for my liking...

Collateral damage: SGD 48

Available in Sephora Singapore or ASOS.

Love...
