Yo! Minna-san! How's my long weekend? HAHAHAHA... >>overdue<<
It's been a while since I've last posted anything on this website. Been terribly busy lately...
Now I'm back for another beauty review and counciling! MWAHAHAHA...
As promised.. I'd be reviewing a skincare product that can also be used as a makeup base or a hydrating primer. I said hydrating for it has the same properties that can also be used as your last step for a flawless and light-weight skin care regimen.
I honestly didn't know much about the brand and of course about the certain use and details of the product so I was at first a little skeptic on deciding whether I'd be buying it but since I saw that it's on sale, I was really tempted to buy it. >>I wonder.. hmm?? << I'm the "Queen of Sales" by the way. (^....^)
Believe it or not.. I was so surprised by the adorable packaging of this product.

Upon opening the box, I was amazed that it comes with a really cute spatula!
It is so thin! And it's really perfect for scooping out a small amount of the product.
Whoa! This is definitely one of the most adorable packaging that I've ever seen! You can pull out the first layer to reveal the casing of the cute jar! Kawaī !!!! (^....^)
Hontōni kawaī!!!! (Really cute!!!) And it fits perfectly in my vanity kit. I definitely adore minis!!!
It also fits perfectly in my pocket. I can sort of bring it anywhere and it can be my moisturizer if my skin's not that bad.
The product has a flat cap so that the product won't slip and won't get too messy.
See what I mean? (@...@)
So this is the inside. Ahh... it's almost empty!!! (#...#)
A bit amount at the back of my hands. You can see that it's sort of has a paste-like consistency. If you use those glue that can be bought in "palengke" (market) that's in a red or yellow plastic tube that has a black cap...then I bet you know what it is. Hahaha... >>old school materials<<
It is actually comparable with collagen though it's not like the high-end ones that is a bit thick. It doesn't have a runny consistency and it doesn't make the skin oily since you only have to apply a really small amount. It's like a primer but is identified as a serum because it also has skincare properties.
So when fully applied and absorbed, it has a dewy type of finish so I still recommend that people with oily skin must use a good primer or a foundation, bb/cc cream that has a matte-type of finish.
Application with flash photography.
Finish with flash photography. It looks oily because of the flash. Fret not for I promise that it is a good "makeup adhesive."
