My review:

So far, this is my favorite BB cream. It was previously known as Perfect Recover Balm but then it was discontinued and replaced with it's new version, Blemish Recover Balm ( I like the old version more because PR Balm is easier to blend and the consistency is lighter than BR Balm. I still have one tube of PR Balm, but I don't see any use of reviewing it because the product is no longer available on the market).

Moving on,

The cream is very thick and a bit difficult to blend. It has pinkish shade and therefore, I don't think it would work on dark to medium skin tone ( you would looked like wearing a ghost mask) even though it was said that the only shade can fits all skin tone.

The coverage is medium to full. It feels heavy on my face, but thanks God it's not cakey. The coverage is buildable too. So you can wear it thin-layered for daily activities and build up to full-layered for special occasions.

I never breaking out from using this product. About the healing properties, I rarely break out since I wear it on daily basis and if I do, the scars healed up faster.

I applied the cream on my most troubled area of the face ( I'm sorry for the bad pictures. I break out so bad after having a full heavy make-up for my inauguration ceremony two weeks ago and due to hormonal problems *psh*),


















At a closer look,


















Even though it has medium to full coverage, you would still need concealer to conceal extra dark-pigmented freckles or acne scars. And see how it lightens my uneven skin tone.

For fair judgment, another side of my face which is in better condition,






















Looks better? =P

The point is, you won't need concealer if your skin is in good condition because the cream could do the job pretty well.

Coverage: Medium to full

- Color: white opaque cream that turns into soft pink when rubbed
- Texture: cream
- Scent: smells and tastes like parafin ( yuck!)

My review:

On application, the cream feels greasy and tastes awful. Once it already set, it provides enough moisture but it doesn't stay long. After 1 hour, my lips start to dry.

The first time I put this cream on, it makes my lips look fuller, moist, and soft pink colored. After around 30 mins- 1 hour, when I accidentally looked at the mirror, my lips turned to purple-ish fuchsia! ( which doesn't really fit in my skin tone...) and I can see fine lines on my lips ( means dry lips).

Good thing is, I'm not allergic to it.

I've used this cream for almost a month, and I see minimum improvement on my lips. It lightened my lips. A bit.

Not enough positives to make me happy.

And oh, I didn't even try it on my nipples. Because from what you can see, it was written in the box "Lip cream". And that's it. I'm not going to put it in my nipples.

When I blended it,











- Color: just pink ( check another available colors here)
- Texture: cream
- Scent: unscented ( yay!)

My review:

I really, really, really love this product. It's my dream blush on!

Well, despite the fact that it was a cream blush-on, it's not difficult to apply, it's not difficult to blend. You don't need that professional make-up skill to wear it.

The key in applying this product is that you don't sweep, but you pat until it blends well with your skin. The vibrancy is in your hand. You can have it subtle looked, soft looked or eye-catching looked.

I only need a very small amount for each time's application. I just lightly dabbed it once with one finger for each cheeks. This product is very pigmented and so a little is enough ( unless you want to create a dramatic look).
















So far that I know ( I've been wearing this product for almost 4 months), I'm not allergic to it. And I never breaking out from it.

And talking about the staying power, this product stays for almost the whole day on my cheeks indoor, and around 6-8 hours outdoor ( talking about hot, humid Jakarta's weather!)

** Tips: I always wear this product after my bb cream and before my loose powder to control the color and to make it last longer =)

Swatch:

















































- Color: has yellow undertone ( available in two shades: #1 for fair skin, #2 for medium skin). Mine is #2
- Texture: liquid
- Scent: peachy

My review:

The first thing that I noticed when I pumped a small amount out is the scent. The product has this nice sweet peachy scent. And the color is quite yellowish to my like. But when it got blended, the result is pretty nice and natural.

When it applied to my face, it was very easy to blend and quickly absorbed. It doesn't feel heavy or cakey on my face and it instantly brighten up my face, making it matte and smooth. It also feels very comfortable on my skin.

However, the product can't conceal my pimple scars and freckles ( you might need extra help from concealers).































Definitely my skin is not on it's top condition *sighs*

My review:

I love this product. The cute packaging surely adds an extra value.

You should apply the product quick enough to your entire lips before the color stained and stayed ( I once had stripped lips because of a bad application).

The cherry tint gives a cherry-ish cold sensation to my lips. Very comfortable.

The staying power is great for a lip tint. Once it stained, it's going to stay for quite a long time ( I applied the tint and tried to remove it with water but it stayed. I tried Revlon Make-Up Remover and it stayed still).

Another thing that I noticed is that this product dries your lips. I, sometimes, put lip balm before applying the tint to prevent it from drying out my lips. Therefore it doesn't recommended for those with sensitive, dry, or chapped lips.











In the middle picture, you can see that it started to dry my lips.

Final result! Pretty stained lips! ( though I don't recommend you to use a lot of layers because it would looks "bloody" scary under the sun light)

My review:

First, I really hate the packaging. The transparent plastic cover is fragile. I accidentally broke it when I opened it.

The good things about this product are: 1. It is unscented, 2. The powder shadows have enough pigments, 3. It comes with 2 functional mini brushes ( I really love the slanted brush! It makes the application easier).

I bought the product at the official NYX counter in MKG. The SA girl was quite an idiot. She didn't understand about the product at all. I asked her about the gray powder shadow ( since I don't want to have gray brows, and she said that I could use the gray as eyeshadow while the description on the web is quite clear, "Shades can also be blended for a natural match". Girl, please... Pay attention to stuffs you sell!).

The mini brushes are very easy to use. The round brush used to refine brows shape and the slanted brush used to apply the powder shadows.

I only need small amount of the powder shadow to fill in my brows.

My review:

I came across this product one day when I was looking for a 'decent' cleansing product. The description caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try.

Soon enough I knew that I'm going to dislike this product. Much.

When I first opened the jar, I loved the subtle apple scent. Very sweet, very refreshing. But that was the only good thing about this product.

When I tried it on my face, surely it glides well, but I don't feel the 'deep cleansing' thing. It kinds of felt greasy, even after I washed it with water ( cold water, warm water, none works).

Enough said, I never used it anymore.

Price:

Around 110.000 IDR

Overall Rating:

2 out of 5. Nice scent, fair price, but it fails to do it's main function

Will I re-purchase:

Definitely not. It just doesn't work for me.

Thinking about re-selling it for 80.000 IDR ( condition 98%, barely used, open for negotiation). Leave me a message if you're interested.
