Review

A well hyped concealer/foundation organic and natural, one small pot cost $32 was it really worth a splurge? lets find out....

My first impression was it is so tiny but classy and convenient to bring good for reapplicaion. As per instruction say I dont need to put on any moisturizer prior to application of the un cover up as Its main ingredients is coconut oil so it is already moisturizing, I follow the instruction and did just that I put the un cover up all over my face i must say I had a little hard time of spreading it without primer or moisturizer but I still manage to blend it well as it is creamy and the finish result?.... 
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

Coverage: Neutralizes my red pimples, hides my dark spot and covers my dark eye circles. Light to medium buildable coverage

Appearance: Not dewy for me just glowy improves skin tone,  it really does give a radiant youthful appearance

Lasting Power: Last quite long 5-6hrs after that I get oily on my T-zone but doest look greasy just a little blot of oil absorbing paper and voila oil fixed by the way I have combination skin

I am very excited to try this product as I read tons of good reviews a lot of celebrity liked it plus this

is one of Miranda kerr's beauty staple and I look up to her because of her ideology about beauty that proper nourishment from inside and out is the key to beautiful skin and I so believe her why not it shows from her face really one of the youthful and fresh face looking model out there so whatever she does sometimes I do copy haha so without any hesitation I buy this product simple as that... fortunately It did not disappoint me as I said before my skin lately is in chaos dry combo skin with pimple breakouts uneven skin tone ugh so many bad things going on haha... anyway this product help my skin look much better not overly done just enhance I really did not expect that it will work for me that nicely so Im glad I did not waste my money. I look like Miranda kerr now well more like feeling VS model lol.

*Juuust a little caution to those who are allergic or had an adverse reaction to coconut oil, they use it as their primary ingredients mostly to all their line so best to patch test it first, good for combination/dry skin, for oily skin I suggest prime first and then finish with mattifying powder to make it last a little bit longer.

RMS Lip2cheek

Claim: Our lip2cheek is a unique formula that combines hydration and protection with abundant mineral color for a beautiful, natural finish on both lips and cheeks.

The seven lip2cheek colors are the result of over 20 years experience applying makeup to some of the world's most beautiful faces. Created with nourishing organic ingredients, each unique shade can vary from a youthful sheer to  a more densely colored stain. 

Review

Very very pigmented not drying easily applied had a good lasting power, gives natural and dramatic effect depends on the application, It lived up to its claim It gives a vibrant appearance.

Over all I am very satisfied I love products that help us make our imperfect skin look better but at the same time doesn't harm it but rather nourish it I cant say anything anymore I am just in love with RMS now so far best organic product I tried.

*As always I bought this two product online at www.beautylish.com because it is not locally available RMS 'Un' cover up cost $32 and Lip2cheek cost $32 as well.

Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + Foundation Review

        

   
     I have a combo skin but much more on the oilier side and this foundation is always on the top list of best foundations for oily skin so I said to myself I cant miss this one I must try this  & Its finally here!!! yey! haha... oh cant wait to share my experience so here it is.

Price: P 2,700

Location bought: Makeup Forever Boutique Greenbelt 2

Claim 

       

The Mat Velvet + foundation conceals skin imperfections, evens out the complexion and matifies with a non-oily powdery finish. The result is flawless and lasts for hours long. Its smooth, fluid texture is very stable, water-resistant and long-lasting. While it has a good coverage, it is also easy to apply. The end result can befitted to your needs. Applied lightly, Mat.

* I bought two shades mainly because the first sales assistant fail to asses my skin tone correctly uhg! but its fine I can use both colors I have the talent of versatility & creativeness LOL

* Left side is the shade #45 which is the darker one and on the right side is shade #30 which is two shades lighter? Im not sure but its way lighter than #45. Since I cant refund my makeup anymore I just bought a new one, the second sales assistant recommend me to get the #30 so even if its way lighter than my skin tone I can mix both to get a close match to my shade so that #45 wont be wasted but it's still way better if i really had my shade boohoo oh well, all I can do as of now is work with what I have.

Texture & Appearance                          

Its thick and full, easy to blend

Coverage                       

The coverage is superb! in just one layer and I'm in full coverage I might say I was really amazed and surprised what this baby can do, best applied with flat top brush.

Staying Power                           

 It does last longer as they claim can withstand a substantial heat and sweat

Pros

• Matte

• Full Coverage

• Neutralizes Redness

• Oil free

• Water Resistant

• Flawless & smooth

• Ideal even for combination skin

• Easy to Apply

Cons

• Expensive

- Can’t think of any other cons than this 

Overall Verdict

Rate: 9/10                    
           

        I can't say this is my HG foundation because I haven't tried a multitude yet... but as of now this is definitely on the top of my list I was really blown away by the result  and I had lots of compliment on how my face brighten and looks fresh, the staying power is also amazing.             
          

        When I hit my 20's my skin type suddenly changes from oily to combination skin and its hard for me to find the right foundation that can withstand my oiliness but at the same time wont dry me out and I found this foundation that really suit my needs.            

     A two thumbs up, I highly recommend this to all the ladies out there who are having combination skin, that suffer from finding the right foundation for their needs. Try this out & maybe you'll fall in love also the way I did. Definitely worth investing just be careful try not to pick the wrong shade Its kinda hard to match ones color with this foundation. 

                                                                                                                                        

Cinema Secret Face Primer Review

Claim

• Fills fine lines and wrinkles
• Creates smooth surface for foundation
• Prevents collagen breakdown

PROFILE

Since its release, Ultimate Foundation Primer has become one of Cinema Secrets' most popular products. Medical-grade silicone is fortified with antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and skin-enriching green tea and grapeseed extracts to create a weightless, oil-free, non-drying primer. Just a touch fills in fine lines and wrinkles, prevents collagen breakdown, and creates a silky smooth finish for flawless foundation application.

Texture & Appearance

           Gel type & clear

Pros

• Matte
• Makes a flawless application
• Lots of product for a primer
• Creates smooth canvas
• Vitamine Infuse

Cons

• Doesn't fill in the pores well
• Tends to cake if layered
• Taking a bit long to dry
• Promotes Oiliness

Overall Verdict 

Rate: 4/10

     

        Not that great filler as they claim and plus it can't controls oil nor holds makeup that long perhaps it is good for dry to normal skin... is it just me or all their products are only good for dry to normal skin, I think so because one of their main reason on creating this brand is to help people with burnt skin or burn survivors, do I sound bitter? haha I really do want to love their products but it really doesn't work on me, oh well we do have different skin conditions this might not work for me and maybe will work for others, so still glad I tried ;)

P.S Will update on the prices of all the product I already reviewed 

Cinema Secret Eye Primer Review

Claim

        

• * Neutralizes eyelid for vibrant eyeshadow color
• * Prevents creases

PROFILE

A must-have for wearers of eyeshadow! Just a touch creates a neutral surface for more vibrant eyeshadow color and extended wear--even on the darkest skintones or oil-prone skin. Prevent creases in fine-line areas and get the same color on skin that shows in the container.

Texture & Appearance

      Runny and dries fast, flesh tone in color which i think is the reason for neutralizing dark upper eyelid

Pros

•     Anti crease
•     It does Makes the eyeshadow more vibrant
•     Neutralizes dark upper eyelid

    

Cons

•      Doesn't last long for oily skin

Overall Verdict  

Rate: 5/5

       True to its claim makes the eyeshadow looks vibrant but after a few hours it creases already, so this primer for me is just average not that amazing. Still on the hunt for the best eye primer that could last longer & probably can stand oily skin, sweat & heat... I am hearing a lot of great reviews form Urban Decay and Etude house eye primer will purchase soon to see if its true.

About

Maurice Stein is a well renewed Academy ward winning (planet of apes 1969) makeup artist.He has worked on over 200 films and television shows and has more than 4,000 commercials to his credit.

Stein was the first makeup artist inducted to the California Cosmetology Association Hall of Fame and is included in the National Cosmetology Association Hall of Renown.

In 1984, when he retired as a professional makeup artist in the entertainment industry to found a small cosmetics and special effects supply in Burbank, Maurice's Cinema Secrets became an instant hit among makeup artists, studios, and many of "Hollywood's most expensive faces." The family-run business outgrew its location within three years and moved to the current building on Riverside Drive.

Maurice also formulated his own line of cosmetics to satisfy the special needs of the entertainment business and advance standards for clinical applications in the medical industry. He regularly volunteers to help cancer patients and burn survivors use makeup to minimize the appearance of scars and discoloration.

Through the American Cancer Society and through the assisted help of the National Cosmetology Association, Stein became one of the first make-up professionals to provide his corrective makeup techniques and educational services to the national Look Good, Feel Better Program.            



A Thorough review of listed CS products that i’ve been using and testing for 3 months now

1. CS Cream Foundation palette

2. CS Face Primer

3. CS Eye Primer

4. CS Finishing powder

Spell H-O-U-R-D-I-N-G, haha  i do bought a lot of their products...

CS  Foundation Palette 
1st Review

Claim

Ultimate Foundation Palette

   Cinema Secrets was the first to develop a foundation palette for the professional makeup artist. It's great for correcting unwanted undertones, highlighting, shading, contouring, adjusting foundation color, and creating custom blends for hard-to-match skintones. Ours is portable and compact, great for travel--especially if you expect to tan on vacation.

   Since its debut, our top-quality makeup has not only gained recognition from professional makeup artists and the performers who wear it, but also has set the standard for clinical applications in the medical field, salons, and spas. The creamy formula applies like a second skin yet provides full coverage to diminish skin discolorations, birthmarks, burn scars, even large body tattoos! All Ultimate Foundations are free of mineral oil, lanolin, and petroleum products. High pigmentation is the key to coverage, and durable high-quality ingredients make this cosmetic last up to 12 hours, even in humid climates (it's completely waterproof!). Soft, natural matte finish spreads farther than most other foundations and will not cake or crease.

• Contains NO mineral oil or lanolin
• Features the most highly pigmented components
• Waterproof and long-lasting
• Not tested on animals
• Five hues in the same tonal range

Container: Clear UV PVC plastic with snap-shut hinged top. Labeled with ingredients, colors, and batch number.

Sizes: One size with five compartments, .125 ounce (3.5 grams) each.

Application: Apply with non-latex sponge or brush. (Avoid cross-contamination: Never use fingers to apply cosmetics; use a CS palette and spatula to mix.) For sheerer application, dampen sponge/brush with CS Moisture Spray.

                                                                   Purchased the Kit # 3

 It has 4 range of medium to light colors, Im # 302 -65A for reference.

Texture & appearance

   Its a cream foundation that is matte on application but has a dewy fresh appearance that won't look overly  made up or cakey. Very Blendable.

Coverage

   The coverage is sensational no need for concealers, hides pimple (of course there's still visible bumps), evens out skin tone & hides pigmentation however on very dark pigmented spot it requires more application but for those who don’t have these, its a hassle free all in one application and did i mention it registered sooo good on camera SLR, iPhones, androids, digicam etc. Some colors can also be used to contour and highlight.

Staying power

           Fairly good it holds up at about 3hours and then I get oily afterwards but nothing like a grease ball just dewy by the way I have combo skin however for very oily skin dewy will be greasy so if you will use this as the main foundation I suggest before purchasing read reviews first or better swatch it on your skin to see if it suit your skin type.

                                                

Cinema Secret Foundation 

Over all Verdict

Pros

• Medium to Full coverage
• Has a fresh, dewy look without the greasiness
• Registers really good on camera & video
• Multitasker
• Doesn't cake
• Lightweight feel
• Looks natural

Cons

• Expensive
• Don’t last too long on very oily skin 
• Not so water resistant

Overall Verdict

Rate: 7/10

        Honestly a bit disappointed that it doesn't last long for oily skin however I will still give it a rate 7 out of 10 because I just so loOove! the blooming effect that it gives, its like your glowing from within, on and off cam & it does not look you have tons of makeup on, plus the versatility of the palette and the coverage wow, I will still repurchase It could have many use. For me It's worth a try.
