Review: L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation, Skin Solutions

Hi Bunnies! 


Hope you're enjoying your holidays and do have all the fun that you can have before school term starts again! Because trust me, it's gonna be 
hell looooooooottttttts of things to do (Especially for Year Two students like me)

Anyway, I've bought a new liquid foundation lately and I would like to just share with you my first ever vlog/review for makeup products! 


Haha just some disclaimers in advance! 

1. Don't bother trying to figure out what I'm saying. I think I'm a little too soft /:

2. And I said Pretty Bare Face which means it's pretty much bare so don't get me wrong! 

3. I also mentioned that this product is used by korean female celebrities for the clean and flawless look (makeup free). If you're attending a camp/overnight stay, this will be so helpful without you having to dab on your bb cream then your powder/loose foundation. 



Apply it on the C Zone on either side of your face, the V Zone (Chin area) and the T Zone (Brow Area to Nose)

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation 


(Bought this at $30.90 from Watsons, Far East Branch)
You can purchase it at any Guardians or Watsons outlet that hold L'oreal Products! 


The first liquid light foundation that offers a perfectly natural complexion, infused by light for a healthy-looking glow like never before! With SPF 18 and 12HR magic hold, Lumi Magique is suitable for all skin types.

-Adopted from the website: lorealparis


Different shades that you can choose from for your skin tone!
The one I'm using is Rose Porcelain. 




By the way, this mini vlog is a prelude to the actual makeup tutorial that I've already done and I will probably spend some time to edit it properly before showing it to all you bunnies alright! (At least you get to see my makeup free face. I think nobody has ever seen it forrrrrrrrr forever hehe. Don't judge!! :( 

Alright, basically I find the product really, really, splendidly amazing. Because it covers up my flaws and blemishes and I don't even have to bother putting on my usual bb creams and powder foundation. Just this and I'm good to go (So good for lazy makeup free days! Yippee yay)

* However, I've read online reviews that it doesn't work well in covering up your pimples/acnes though it gives you the dewy and natural look. 


SKIN SOLUTIONS 


The reason why I actually have the courage and confidence to provide advice for girls/boys who face skin woes is because I REALLY DO KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE.





*Yes, it was that bad and I darkened each photo for you to see the gravity of my skin issues that time. LOL THE AMOUNT OF SACRIFICE I HAVE FOR DRESSINGJANES!!! 

It was a period of time when it was so bad and if I could hide at home, I really would. 

Recently, I've received many kind compliments that my skin has improved tremendously and people actually would like to know the products I use and what tips I have. 

Yes, whatever I'm about to type may seem like "OH, THAT ONE I KNOW AH." to you. All I can say is, you either have to make the effort to change or you let your bad skin change you, and I'm pretty sure it won't be positive /: 


Gender Neutral Tips (So if you're a guy, you can ignore the ones discussing makeup)





1. You may purchase this face wash named Cetaphil from Watsons or Guardians. It is cheaper if you purchase it from a hospital's pharmacy though. (I bought them on my regular dermatologist visits to NUH) 

* Cetaphil® is the #1 recommended brand of cleansers & moisturizers, specially formulated for dry sensitive skin.

Adopted from Cetaphil Official Site http://www.cetaphil.com/

2. Consult a Doctor (Trust me, I've tried countless of face washes and acnes cream and they don't work /: Don't bother wasting your Time & $. You'll know what I mean if you've been through the same agonizing experience praying that your skin will heal.)

3. Fruits and Vegetables and WATER (Duh) Ditch your alcohol and cigarettes if you are determined to have clearer skin

4. DON'T APPLY MAKEUP ON AFFECTED AREAS. (Realize I mention don't apply on affected areas instead of NOT AT ALL because I have the habit of applying makeup too. Just don't apply them on your acnes/pimples spot because you'll only worsen the situation)

5. Have sufficient sleep (Yes, so please say goodnight to your boyfriend/girlfriend at 11pm from now onwards)

6. AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE. Yes, I know it's YOUR FACE and you have every right to be narcissistic and dote on it with your fingers but please, D O N T if you want good skin. If you really have to, ensure that you have already washed your hands and use hand towels or tissues. 

7. Always remove your makeup at the end of the day (No matter how lazy you are). Because the longer it stays on, the more time it has to slowly clog up your pores. 

Those are just my two cents worth of advice and I do mean them sincerely for people who have had to suffer from low self-esteem because of the tiny and disgusting bumps on your faces. I'm in no disposition to say that I have perfect skin now, I really don't. But my smooth recovery has shown that it's possible to gain back better skin as long as you are conscious enough to put in the effort. 

My skin has healed but either side of my cheeks still look pinkish red with light blemishes on.
Oh well, curing acnes is a lifelong process! Just don't give up hope! :) *fighting*







Alright, that's all for my Beauty Post! Really hope it helps and I'll be updating this page again next week!

"How to Impress Your Date + What's In My Makeup Kit"

Hi Bunny Readers! 

we're into the first week of December and before I begin on this week's post, I would really like to wish all of you out there . . . 


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!


YIPPEE YAY NO MORE MST FOR YOU! :D


This idea came into my mind one day while I was just sitting by watching the rain fall and waiting for my bus to arrive AND VOILA It dawned on me that I could actually teach you girls out there how to dress for your date! ♥(ノ´∀`) 

If you're dating a boy for the FIRST TIME, and you are absolutely clueless on how to dress, you can simply follow my 

ONE-STOP-REMEDY and make a good FIRST IMPRESSION!

♡ HOW TO IMPRESS YOUR DATE 


STEP ONE: SMELL GOOD 




From (Left to Right)

Wishing stars (loads of it)
Perfume (Mine's from Burberry, gift from friend)
Deodorant (Rexona)

Haha okay, I was kidding about the wishing stars though lol 

Personally, I think it's really important for YOU to smell good before you even meet your date. Well admit it girls, you yourself can't sit through a meal with a guy that reminds you of the sewage yah? :( 


__________________________________ 


STEP TWO: PICK A SIMPLE LOOKING DRESS

In this case, I chose a Black Floral Bustier Dress

Choose your outfit wisely, choose one that flatters your body shape. If you're wearing a big flowing dress, at least remember to tie a belt around your waist :) 




__________________________________ 


STEP THREE: Accessorize! 

In this case, my accessories include 
  • necklace 
  • cardigan 
  • Similar color handbag 







Without filter 




Tips: Don't match your outfit with too many colors!!! 
If you're wearing a black dress, don't wear a black/dull colored cardigan too

Remember! You're going on a d a t e not a wake! :( 



__________________________________ 


STEP FOUR: Ensure that everything is in place AND HAVE A BRIGHT SMILE 







Remember to smile then! ^^ 


__________________________________ 


STEP FIVE: BEST OF LUCK AND HERE AT DRESSINGJANES, I HOPE THAT THE BOTH OF YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE HEHEHE


      ♡          




Behind the scenes: Hahaha what you don't see in my photos 
(well I can't hide the mess yah? :p)  


And yes, I need to snip off my fringe soon! :(

♡ WHAT'S IN MY MAKEUP KIT 


without filter 




This is Part Two to "How to Impress Your Date" because in order to look good, a little makeup would help!

PS: I'm currently working on my makeup tutorial (No promises yet though. My first vlog might be so bad that I can't show anyone of you!!! D:) 

Time to peek into my makeup kit! (。・ω・。)







__________________________________ 

1. Hand Sanitizers 

because it's always good to keep your hands clean before you start on your makeup! 



SAY NO TO PIMPLES!



Haha I'm just spouting nonsense. It just so happened that I have tons of those so I have two bottles stashed in my makeup kit. Hey, good to be hygienic though! :>

2. Concealer


(From Left to Right)

  • Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-in-1 BB Cream SPF 26 PA +++
  • Sana Pore Putty Keana Pate Shokunin BB Cream SPF50+ PA+++
  • * Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick (Very Popular Buy!)
BB Cream is the essentials for Girls' Makeup! 
They can help to enhance your complexion and make you appear fairer! 
Also, the higher the SPF, the better is its protection against UVB Rays.

SPF 30 is the ideal product for use.

Loreal True Match Powder: Light Ivory
Maybelline Shine Free Cake Powder: Nude Beige

Choose the foundation that best resembles your skin tone!

7. Lipstick

And last but not least, you've to learn to take good care of your lips too! 
Three different lipsticks that you can consider 

(Top to Bottom)


  • NYX Matte Lipstick (Dab on a little so that it won't look too overwhelming)
  • Pure Shine Lips Pretty Pink Lipstick (For a more mature look)
  • And my everyday application: Vaseline Lip Therapy!-> It protects dry chapped lips and gives the tiny bit of gloss girls need for school :)
