ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3

 ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3

This is a nice skincare/moisturizer tint product. This texture is a bit thick for me to use during the August hot and humid weather, but I will be using this daily during the upcoming autumn season. It does give you a natural look but it's too shiny especially if you sweat outside. The key in using this product is just a few drops to smooth onto your face. If too much, then it can look heavy.

Lancôme Skin Feels Good Hydrating Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 23

 I had to exchange for an even lighter shade from 01N to 01C in the store after I tested it. I was even debating for the 009N milky peach because the colors are very different when you pump it out but as you rub into your skin, the color mixes well into your skin. If you are very fair, then I would suggest you skip this tinted moisturizer. Great for the summer but it does sink into your fine lines so don't use too much, just a light layer is enough. I have been using this during the hot temps well into 85s and 90F and it does well.

Bliss sunscreen

I received this product through Target and Influenster in exchange for my honest review and opinion. At first, tinted moisturizer came to mind and SPF added to it was great. I use it when I'm on the go, especially when we all wear masks. It transfers so I would recommend re-applying this every couple hours. I wish there was a pump instead of a squeeze tube. It does have silicone so use at your own risk. No scent to me.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster and Almays in exchange for my honest review and for testing purposes. I got the shade 110 Light, and at first I think it is a bit dark or orange for the color. It has buildable light coverage, but if you keep applying it looks cakey. So I prefer calling this product a tinted moisturizer if you apply light. I prefer to use a makeup brush over a makeup sponge or by hand fingers. It also rubs off when you wear a mask so...

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream


Moisturizing - not enough for my combination skin Coverage - none to light
Wear - semi matte
Dewy Glow - dewy finish
Lasting Power - it's a gel cream
Oxidizing - none
Scent - none

I am a W2 in L'oreal and it's usually hard in finding my shade in the western brands, but this matched me so well that it looks like second skin but of course without the coverage. There is no need to use a brush, using your fingertips to smooth out the product and blends just fine.

Clio Virgin Kiss Milky Water Tint

When I first opened the package at home, I was wondering where is the rest of the product?


I thought Clio could have done better with the tint. Probably cause I liked their popular gelpresso eyeliners but this tint is a non-repurchase. It's not as pigmented as the a'pieu tint and it's too watery and rubs off easily from your lips to your teeth.

cute! I love the face that Doraemon made on the plum tint.

Perfect color on the lips for a N23 natural beige shade
The applicator is at an angle so it's better when applying the product onto your lips.
Very watery when touched my lips due to the jelly texture.

My very first tint! It's very tasty. Very pigmented. Stays on even if you eat and drink. I have used the Clio lip tint afterwards and prefer this A'pieu one. 

My coworkers have complimented. This was my favorite lip product during February and March.

General Haul #22 - JKnLee Haul #2

Ah, the weather in NYC was in the mid-50F degrees. I wasn't planning on going today, but the sun was nice and warm and I though to hell with hibernation. After the huge sample sale from JKnLee last month.  JKnLee's Instagram advertised that the store was open this weekend for a mega mask sale. 

I'm not really into sheet masks so I didn't have my hopes up. Plus the NYC subway system was running on a weekend schedule so there were delays and route changes. 

They had cute animal sheets mask (10in a box) for $30- but they were BOGO, so you are getting $15 per box if you buy two. Almost all the masks were $15 a box. I couldn't find any information about that brand "The Cure" online so I decided to pass. Clio Sun spray $15 or $20 - can't remember. Goodal oil, snail cream and toners, BB creams were around that price in the corner behind the entrance door. 

Instead, I got goodal gel creams and some make-up products which I didn't get a chance to see last month in the store. Again, I didn't take pics of the goodies inside the store - my apologizes. The goodal creams, toners, emulsions were 3 for $20 along with Clio gelpresso liners, peripera tint set, Clio eyebrown set and some other Clio products. Now the goodies that caught my eye today were the 5 for $5 which include peripera single eye-shadows, clio tints, clio liquid eye shadow, peripera lip gloss and a few others. 

There were shades that weren't popular like coral or peach, but I think those colors look nice on fair skin especially when spring and summer are on the way. I went around noon and my friend went around 6pm today and the inventory were kinda similar. I'm not sure about tomorrow (sunday-2/21) but I think it is worth a trip if you are around Chinatown.

Here is the store outside: 

Here is what I got: 

1. goodal Phytoain Murumuru Seed Hydra Gel Cream (3 for $20)
2. goodal Phytoain Murumuru Seed Hydra Gel Cream
3. goodal Phytoshine Acaiberry Brighetening Cream
4. Peripera Watery Face Pride Up! cushion pact in shade 2-Vanilla Beige - $10
5. Peripera My Color Gloss in shade 4 - $1 (my mom loved this shade so it went into her drawer)
6. Peripera Saturday Night Liner in shade 6 - Saturday Choco - $1
7. Clio Virgin Kiss Milky-Water Tint Milky Color with Longlasting in shade 3-Virgin Strawberry -  $1
8. Clio Gelpresso WaterProof Pastel Upper Liner in shade 1-Keep Calm - $1
9. Clio Pro Glitter Pigment shade 6 - Dark Wave - $1

I think I'm happier with my mini haul this month instead of the massive haul last month because I was able to control my budget spending ahaha.

Individual reviews coming up soon.
