Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream Review

I received this BB cream from Wishtrend just a few weeks ago and have been trying it out ever since. I did use a friend of mine to use this product too just to be sure of what I experienced with this product although I did not take pictures of her but the results were the same. So, What do I think about it? Let's see below:

Price:

This was from Wishtrend and on their website, it says that it's USD 24.99

Briefing:

This product only has one shade which claims to be suitable for all skin colors since it adapts to whatever your color is so don't be intimidated by the fact that I may have darker or lighter skin tone than you after seeing me use this product. It has a dewy finish that has very little coverage but is easily buildable. 

Below you would see me applying the bb cream to my face at around 9:30 AM (with primer beforehand) and then just put some powder, filled in my eyebrows and used some carmex for my lips. At 12:10 PM you could see that it blended into my skin really nicely and natural that it looks as if I have a subtle glow to my skin. Although at 3:56 PM the glowy / oily look went overboard so I had to try blotting and it resulted to me looking like I have almost nothing on my face. At 9:48 PM (sorry for the bad lighting), Was the last time I decided to check on it and remove my makeup. You could see as I wipe off my makeup, there was still some product left which just means it didn't fade and it just made my skin looking natural but better. 

Is it worth the money?

$24.99 for me is honestly quite alot but after using this product, I find that it would suit the liking for those who aspire to have that beautiful Korean glowing skin. This BB cream however does not provide coverage for blemishes but it does hides the red spots on the face making the tone even and having people focus on the glow and how natural it looks, it definitely feels like second skin because it is very light that you forget you have makeup on. 

It is helpful for those who have dry skin because of how hydrating the product is when applied to the face. No detection of patches throughout the day (and weeks) that I've been using this though I do have a combination to oily skin. It also claims to improve your wrinkles on your face which I would still have yet to find out if it's true. And it doesn't worsen the already present acne or blemishes on the face which I could say is definitely true.

Verdict:
Now, I'm not usually a powder foundation lover and always goes for the liquid foundation ones because... no reason really, I just find them easy to blend on my skin. This however, applied like a powder on my face. I was pretty scared at first since I thought that it isn't like a foundation. The coverage is pretty minimal so you would have to rely on a bit of concealer. After using this product for 5 days everyday, I could really see that it does live up to it's name since my face was pretty much oil free throughout the day or atleast 5-6 hours and knowing me, I get oily after an hour or 2 so I was actually surprised by this. 

Terra Cotta Blusher
P280 @theclosetqueen

Description:
LDM Paris Terracotta Blusher
Brightens the face with its silky pearlized finish. Dab on the cheeks, brow bone, nose, whichever part of your face you want to highlight.

Verdict:
This really didn't look like a blush to me but a highlighter. So I used this one for that purpose and it does give a good shine to my skin. If you've seen some Korean models who just has this smooth looking shiny skin, this product actually gives an almost identical look to you. It's super easy to apply on your skin and blend. The only con I would have to say about this is that while it does sink into your makeup, it disappears after 3 hours or based on my experience. Still, it isn't hard to reapply some shine since the packaging is travel friendly a.k.a. you can put in inside your purse and whip it out when you need to without worrying of it making a mess. 

Putting a really thin eyeliner and not  natural looking brows with a nude lipstick does complete this whole look and makes anyone's tired looking face look more awake and natural. Not too overdone but not undone, a look that would bring out your natural features up for appreciation. 

And yes, the puffy eyes game is real since I've been binge watching drama all day for 2 days. So if you have any suggestions, leave a comment down below if you know any shows or movies you think I would like.

Rucy's Vanity Products Review.

Rucy's Vanity is a cosmetic brand in the Philippines that offer high quality Korean products for a more reasonable price for everybody. They sent me these products a few days ago for me to try out. While I have been hearing about Rucy's Vanity here and there, I never really got to try them or swatch them before so I really didn't know what to expect. So here is my review after using them for a few days:

Products used from this line:

• Rucy's Vanity Two-way Cake (Pressed Powder)
• Rucy's Vanity Auto Eyebrow Pencil
• Rucy's Vanity Gleamy Lavish Water-proof Mascara in Black
• Rucy's Vanity Water-proof Liquid Eyeliner in Black

I was also sent 2 nail polishes which I would use 1 for an event I'm heading to tomorrow so further review on that would maybe be on a separate post but just incase you were wondering what colors I got, they're green 01 a color that I think is perfect for summer and gold 01 which I will be using for tomorrow and a perfect shade for fall.

Rucy's Vanity Two-way Cake (Pressed Powder)

Item Description:

Two Way Cake SPF 35 PA ++ 12g

Combines the goodness of foundation and powder in one with added protection from UV rays with whitening effect.

• Whitening
• Stay matte all day
• Non-cakey
• UV Protection
• Non-clogging
• Made in Korea

Available Shades:

• #21 Natural Beige
• #23 Dark Beige

How to use:

Apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with puff.

Price: P250

What do I think of this product?

First, I like the packaging. I'm always worried whenever I'm on the go and I use the sponge, it will put / give dirt or bacteria to the product. So having them separated is a plus for me. And, the sponge is quite soft unlike what you would expect from most pressed powders. For the actual product, it applies evenly although having really oily skin and the humid weather, it didn't really lasted that long on my face although, reapplying is easy and not too cakey.

Rucy's Vanity Auto Eyebrow Pencil in Brown

Item Description:

Auto Eyebrow Pencil,  0.33mm

Easy retractable eyebrow pencil, providing excellent sharp and precise lines yet a blendable soft focus to define eyebrow’s natural hue.

• Made in Korea

Available Colors:

• Black
• Gray
• Brown

Price: P80

What do I think of this product?

This product is very pigmented and even while using a light hand, I didn't have any problems trying to get it cling onto my skin. Easily blendable using a spoolie brush but this product doesn't come with it so you would have to use your own. Brown was a tad dark for my liking but I think the actual product does compete with the eyebrow pencils that I'm currently using.

Rucy's Vanity Mascara in Black

Item Description:

Rucy's Vanity Gleamy Lavish Waterproof Mascara , 7ml

• Hypo-allergenic
• Sweat resistant
• Water-proof mascara that natural coats each lash making it appear longer and volumized
• Protects lashes and lock in moisture.
• Made in Korea

Price: P180

What do I think of this product?

This product is what actually surprised me the most. The reason is because I probably like this one the best out of all of these since my eyelashes easily curled up and never went down althroughout the day without even using an eyelash curler. And with the current humid weather, I expected it to have some problems but nope, no smudging at all and *spoiler alert* I might just have to put this on my favorites for next month.

Rucy's Vanity Liquid Eyeliner in Black.

Item Description:

Rucy's Vanity Liquid Eyeliner , 7ml

• Long lasting
• Water-proof eyeliner with deep black pigmentation that last whole day without smudging
• Made in Korea

Price: P160

What do I think of this product?

Same with the mascara, this actually also survived my constant sweating. It didn't crease which I experienced on an eyeliner before and it's very easy to use. I just recently switched to a felt tip eyeliner but I always used to use a dip brush like this one. I don't really recommend beginners to use this since it does tend to get messy, but if you know how to do your eyeliner, then I suggest you give this one a try.

Also, I'm not sure if I do have a good makeup remover or not but based on my experience, all of these products are easily removed with just a few swipes so that is a plus for me.

Anyway, I hope that you have found this review useful if you are looking to try out these products and leave a comment down below if you have any more further questions, suggestions or if you have tried these products out and how did they work out for you.
