Will This Fizzing Face Mask Give Your Dull Skin a Glow?Radical Skincare’s Instant Revitalizing Mask is gonna Snap! Crackle! Pop! all over you

What do you do when your skin looks blah—maybe it’s PMS; maybe you’ve just been awake for too many hours—and yet you need to push on and somehow look halfway decent for the evening?

You do a pre-game face mask, that’s what. Something to get the circulation going; to gently exfoliate and hydrate so that you don’t need to solely rely on a high-coverage foundation to fake good skin. Like a quickie facial, if you will.

Yes, you can do this in two steps (see my “Peel, Mask, Moisturize” mantra). But likely, if it’s the end of a weekday, ain’t nobody got time for that. Which is why I thought Radical Skincare’s Instant Revitalizing Mask, above, sounded like the ultimate. You might’ve noticed this new beauty brand popping up at Sephora lately and getting coverage in magazines. Their whole deal is high-potency, high-performance skincare that gives you “radical results”—hence the name. Had to admit, I was intrigued.

The Instant Revitalizing Mask promised to, well, revitalize my face. And who wouldn’t want that? It’s meant to soothe, hydrate and boost radiance… but they also use beauty BS terms like “teaches skin to breathe,” “stock up on energy,” etc. Well, whatever. If it left my skin glowing, they could say what they want. Obviously, the other cool part was that it foams, pops and fizzes on contact. Fun!

Here’s the hygienic pump container:

And here’s what the mask looks like—slightly yellowish and you can see it’s starting to fizz.

Unfortunately, three separate testing attempts later, and I’ve yet to manage leaving the stuff on my face for longer than 60 seconds. They’re not kidding about the high-potency ingredients. On my sensitive skin, it stung like a bitch! Just so itchy and irritating that I couldn’t even stand it.

BUT! This doesn’t mean it’s a crap product. It’s just crap for people with sensitivity. I got my mom to try it, to see if it was just me who couldn’t tolerate it—and she was totally fine. In fact, she loved how it felt and smelled, and thought it did make a real difference in giving her face a glow. If you have pretty resilient skin, then I think Radical Skincare’s is the mask that’ll give you the most results.

Me, imma gonna stick with Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, which also has a bubbling action, but doesn’t irritate me at all:

Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber Extract

 Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber Extract

Hello lovelies, how are you?

It's been raining for almost a week here but thank God, the sun finally came out today. This week is supposedly my exam week so I've been studying non-stop but since the weather is very bad, my university decided to move it until next week. The rain and the studying pretty much kept me up all night which led to huge eyebags and bad skin>.< so I decided to use Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber extract that I bought at the start of the week.

As written on the back of the mask, "This specially formulated mask contains cucumber extract and natural collagen nutrients to tighten your skin and improve skin elasticity. Leaves your skin firmer and more supple"

The smell of this facial mask is very refreshing, it's not overwhelming. Just enough to calm your nerves and make you relax. It also has a lot of essence but it doesn't drip which is a plus point for me! After about 30 minutes on my face, it still has a lot that I used it for my neck and my hands. I massaged it and let my skin absorb the essence. It had an instant effect. It made my skin smoother and softer like a baby's skin hehehe ^o^ which made me really happy oh and it smells divine <3 Also I can feel that my face is a bit firmer than before. I am definitely in love with this mask. 

The only bad thing with this mask is after about 10 minutes of absorption into my skin. I notice a bit of itchiness and rashes on my chin and neck but after about 15 minutes, it was gone. I'll give this mask another try and see if the rashes came back, if it did I'm gonna stop using this. 

Overall Rating: 4/5 (-1 since it gave me itchiness and rashes but that's just me)

Repurchase: Maybe. I bought two sheets so I'm gonna try that one again. If there's no rashes then Yes definitely, a repurchase is in line but if it still appears then bye bye .

Have you tried this product? Did you have itchiness and rashes too or does it work well for you?

See you soon~

SUQQU Frame Fix Cream Foundation [Review]

SUQQU Frame Fix Cream Foundation is one of the various goodies that I purchased while in Japan. My first impression was that it’s a very special foundation indeed – dozens of applications later and I can confirm that it is unlike anything I’ve tried.

As the name suggests, SUQQU Frame Fix Cream has a creamy, dense consistency – somewhat similar to that of Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer but far more pliable (and not as heavily pigmented, obviously). A pump would be useless and a waste of product, hence it is housed in a glass jar. Not my favourite packaging but the performance… totally worth it.

Token SPF emerges once again, 25 in this case. Either a pro or a con depending on your tastes, I couldn’t care less.

Comprendo? Me either. If you have an ingredient list in English, be a sweet and let me know!

At a whopping 100USD for 30 grams, you’ll be wanting to scrape out every last drop of product. That figure is for those lucky enough to purchase in Japan, international buyers can purchase online at Ichibankao for 127USD. It’s a pretty penny…. and still worth it.

Let’s talk about shade range. Diagram courtesy of Ichibankao.

Shades preceded with a 2 are considered to have a pinker undertone, 1 being a happy medium, while 0 depicts yellow shades. The final digit denotes depth, 1 being lightest and 3 being deepest. Pretty simple, no?

I was advised time and time again that I would match 102. I dotted my chest with shade 002 and whatayaknow, seamless match for my slightly olive, winter NC20 skin. I’m just contrary like that.

I have a little anecdote regarding application. I first trialled this foundation while in Japan, patting it on with my fingers because a) I wanted to get to know the foundation, make friends with it and b) my brushes were on the other side of the globe. I deduced that it was a full coverage foundation with a dewy texture that seemed to emphasise the pores on my nose. So once I was home, I did something I never do – I buffed that foundation into the skin. I have always been under the impression that buffing is poor practice, it kicks up flaky skin and the brush eats all the product anyway. Well, I backpedal with my tail between my legs because sweet baby cheeses, this is PERFECT.

Look at that. No primer, powder or concealer. What you see there is less than half a pea sizedamount of SUQQU Frame Fix Cream buffed into the skin with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush. The illusion of porelessness rivals my holy grail Armani Lasting Silk (the finish of which I described as angelic). Guise, I think this is my new favourite foundation.

I’m excessively excited and getting ahead of myself. Here’s what you need to know about SUQQU Frame Fix Cream Foundation:

- It’s a high coverage foundation. I prefer a sheer coverage yet gravitate to high coverage bases. Why? Because I can thin the layers down to almost nothing, which is far less detectable than piling on the tinted moisturizer (nothing against those, FYI).

- It’s a dewy finish foundation. Luminous but never greasy. Greasy is bad.

- It’s bloody long wearing. If sky-high Japanese humidity isn’t the ultimate test of longevity, I don’t know what is. A dewy foundation that stays put? Mind blown.

Well that sounds wonderful, any cons?
As with all dewy foundations, I notice a minute amount of settling around the nose towards the end of the day, I view this as a testament to my fussiness as opposed to a downfall of the product. Oil control will always be an issue with luminous bases- I do have a bit of breakthrough shine on the nose after about 6 hours. Surprisingly, any oil seems to disperse elegantly with no caking or migration.

I took the liberty to explore an array of primers and powders to mitigate these two issues and address the concerns of my oilier ladies and gents. My findings are as follows.
Primer wise: Armani Fluid Master Primer and Hourglass No28 Primer Serum performed poorly, with no oil control benefits (no benefits at all, to be frank). Rouge Bunny Rouge Mattifying Primer is a godsend, keeping my nose matte all day and diminishing any settling.
Powder wise: MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural proved to be a powdery mess over SUQQU Frame Fix Cream. Guerlain Meteorites imparted the skin with beautiful luminosity but provided no oil control benefits. SUQQU Loose Powder in Natural topped the list as a match made in heaven – airbrush finish that kept nose oilies in check.

OverallWhile the SUQQU Frame Fix Cream works well by itself, it stuns me when paired with a bit of primer on the nose and topped with a powder. A bit of extra effort and completely worth it.
I can’t adopt a lazy approach and use my fingers but again, worth it.
It’s a bit hard to find, pricy and not so travel friendly (don’t forget the qtips!) but for me, totally worth it.

Revlon PhotoReady Makeup SPF 20 Foundation

According to company: Photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to erase every flaw. Complete, yet undetectable coverage. Soft, luminous finish.
Revlon PhotoReady Makeup- for poreless, airbrushed skin in any light.
-Oil free
- Fragrance free
- SPF 20

Price: 850/- for 30 ml
Shades Available: (only 4 in India)
• Shell- For very fair skin tone.
• Nude- Fair to medium skin tone
• Medium Beige- for medium to fair skin with yellow undertones
• Caramel- for dark skin tone

I got it in the shade Nude. Although ‘medium beige’ shade merged well on my arm but my facial skin is lighter than my hands  so the SA suggested that Nude would look perfect on me and yes, it does. ;)

My Take on Revlon PhotoReady Makeup SPF 20 Foundation: I wanted to own a full coverage foundation that would look wonderful for parties/functions sorts and I got a perfect answer to this in the new Revlon Photoready makeup foundation.

It gives a nice even coverage to the face. The finish is dewy and skin glows as it contains very fine shimmer particles which are not easily noticeable. On closely observing only, one can see those shimmer particles. This dewy and shimmery effect makes it best for party/function wear kind of stuff. Although it is an anytime wear kind of foundation.

It does what all it claims superbly. It gives a medium to full coverage depending on your use and would hide any normal skin flaws on your face. I have a few acne marks which it hides easily without the need of a concealer. If you do not suffer from severe dark circles, then it can also be covered to a great extent using this alone.

Texture wise, it is a liquid foundation and I found it a little runny than my MF Age renew foundation. Easy to put on, smooth and even coverage. Seemed to blend evenly and felt quite light on my skin; actually it does not give a feeling of having applied something on the face itself. I felt that my skin could actually breathe. It truly gives an undetectable coverage.

I am super impressed with the packaging. The product comes in a small fat cute glass encasing with a pump dispenser. The pump is also covered with a lid which makes the overall packaging attractive and hygienic.

Pump dispenser

Staying power is great. It easily stays on for 5-6 hours without the need of any touch-up. Just to check this, I wore it in the morning and did all my daily chores, even cooked, remained in a non-AC environment, even stayed for an hour without fan but still I did not feel any oiliness or sweat at all. It’s clearly water resistant too.

Now why named Photoready? I clicked my snaps in different lights after wearing this foundation and believe me; it looks as natural as ever. No white cast, nothing. It gives a healthy glowing look to the face without looking cakey and surely makes you Photo Ready ;)

Pros of the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation

• Blends smoothly and evenly on the skin.
• Gives a nice shine and a dewy finish to the face.
• Very light weight and still gives an undetectable coverage.
• Contains SPF-20.
• Minor concealing and the medium to full coverage give an overall great effect on the face.
• Lasts easily for 5 hours or so and with a makeup base, can last much longer.
• Water resistant.
• Does not make the face oily even after hours of application.
• Does not give a white cast or looks cakey on application. For me, it’s my skin but better feel after applying this one.
• It will look great for party/function wear, for sure.
• 2 drops or the product is enough for the face and neck region. So this 1 bottle is going to last me for quite long for sure.
• Attractive, sturdy and hygienic packaging.
• No smell associated with the product.

Cons of the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation

• Will not cover your major skin flaws.
• The shimmer, for me, does not make it an everyday ideal wear one.
• The shimmer & glossy look may not work for oily skinned people. You have to try it once for hrs first and then make up your mind to buy this one.

After blending- just see the dewy glossy look it delivers.

Top arm (applied foundation), I hope you are able to see the difference in both my arms.

Ratings: I would personally rate it 4.25/5

Recommend: If you are looking for a full coverage foundation and if you prefer shimmer effect then this is a superb product waiting for all of you to try out. You won’t regret buying this one.

CHANEL VELVET FOUNDATION: REVIEW AND SKIN CLOSE-UPS

A much-requested foundation review; Chanel’s Perfection Lumiere Velvet. This is Chanel’s newest foundation release and I must say that it has instantly won me over. It’s one of those products that requires very little in the way of effort; it just works every time, and the end result is flawless. Perfection Lumiere Velvet is lightweight, but with quite comprehensive coverage and a beautiful luminous matte finish – and I know that “luminous” and “matte” aren’t words that you could normally pop together in the same sentence, but in this case… There’s no discernible shimmer, but there’s a radiance that many matte finish foundations lack – there’s nothing flat or deadening about this face base, and neither does it look cakey or dry. For oily or combination skins, it’s an absolute dream; light and non-claggy, but creamy enough to deal with any drier or flakey patches that inevitably crop up.

I’ve done some “before and after” photos again; they show quite well, I think, the extent of the coverage and the beautiful velvety finish. I don’t find any particular need to powder after using Perfection Lumiere Velvet, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t – just remember that the finish is already matte and use a very fine powder as sparingly as you can.

Here’s the before and after:

Please try to ignore my Captain Jack Sparrow plaits, I was filming another video at the same time! Can you see, though, how there’s just a lovely even finish – no shine, but no dullness either. A closer look at my skin and my wonderfully magnified pores:

It has done a really good job at smoothing out my pores and the tone of my skin – redness is gone, even some of the shadow beneath my eyes, which is notoriously hard to cover! This is heavier coverage than the Lancome Air de Teint, and in fact is a completely different kettle of fish, because although it’s very lightweight it has a more traditional “creamy fluid” consistency rather than being a fine veil of pigment. Like the Air de Teint, it’s almost undetectable on the skin, yet it smartens it up to perfection. I’d say that it’s a “real skin” effect, because it looks so beautiful, but no real skin looks as good as that! Not for the majority of us, anyway…

Review: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

Review: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

Review: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation 

For those of you who follow on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram I hear your collective sigh of relief! Yes, after 4 weeks of getting to know one another,  I am finally reviewing my NARS Sheer Glow foundation! Does this mean I will stop bombarding various social media feeds with my adoration for this product? You may find that answer in this very review.

After lusting after this foundation for a number of years now, I finally took the plunge. If you know my blog at all, you probably know that foundations are my ultimate makeup product. I won't bore you with the back story details (teenage acne, few snide remarks, blah blah blah); suffice to say trying to mimic a flawless complexion is the name of the game for me. So, let's get going!

Packaging
This foundation, as you can see from the image above, comes in a glass rectangular bottle. The glass contrasts with the black lid; the consistency of which is the classic NARS' packaging. This lid can also be pulled off to reveal a small twisty lid on the neck of the bottle. The crux of this packaging being the widely noted lack of a pump. This means that in order to use the product it must be poured from the bottle onto either the back of your hand or perhaps a palette. However, you can buy a pump for about €4.00 from the NARS' website if you so wish. Personally, I'm doing alright without it. Just be careful when pouring or you risk wasting precious product! It also contains a fairly standard 30ml of product.

Colour

I mentioned in my January Favourites the amusing fact that this shade suits me better than any of my other current foundations even though I chose it online! My shade (Light 4 – Deauville) is described by the NARS’ site as a neutral tone with a balance of pink and yellow, but it seems to lean a bit more yellow in my opinion. This suits me great as I have quite a yellow undertone; and though you wouldn’t think it from the pasty photos here, I am actually quite sallow skinned. However, there are a whopping 20 shades available from this line so you're pretty sure to find something that's suited to your colouring!

As I mentioned, I chose my shade online after a good hour or so of 'Google swatching'! Risky, perhaps. But given the lack of a NARS' counter in my area I decided to take the risk. First of all I consulted the NARS' website, and knew given my current pale complexion that I would be wanting one of the light shades. This is a great way to narrow it down to start off. I then considered yellow, pink, and neutral undertones. Although, as I mentioned, I chose a neutral toned foundation, it was through the next step that I found it was still quite yellow and that it could be the best of the 'light' shades for me!

What really helped were blog posts where people had swatched the foundation beside other foundations they owned. For comparative purposes this was extremely helpful, for instance if I knew a certain foundation was too pale/dark/pink etc for me. So, to return the favour, I grabbed what is (shamefully) only a portion of my foundations in the hopes it might be similarly useful to someone else!

Of course, if you have a NARS' counter locally the ideal thing would be to get matched there! This sort of 'Google swatching' method may perhaps only apply to the unhinged, impatient, and makeup mad (read: me).

Foundation Swatches (L-R): L'Oreal True Match (C2), No7 Instant Radiance (Cool Ivory), Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum (52), NARS Sheer Glow (Light 4 - Deauville), YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat (B40), Bourjois Healthy Mix (53), Rimmel Wake Me up (Soft Beige), MAC Matchmaster (2.0)

Application

François Nars himself, recommends applying this foundation with the warmth of your fingers. I have given this application method a go and it does work perfectly. However, in general, I just prefer using a brush to apply my foundation; and unsurprisingly, the Real Techniques Buffing Brush has been my weapon of choice. 

Formula
This is a water-based foundation and so unlike some of the gel formulas we've been seeing pop onto the market, you will notice this foundation run across your hand with some gusto if you pour out too much! As I demonstrated in my latest tutorial, you really need to give the bottle a good shake before use; and as the formula is quite liquidy (think L'Oreal True Match as opposed to Bourjois Healthy Mix) it does take a little longer to set on the skin. Also of note, this foundation has no SPF. This can be great for photography and/or if your moisturiser or primer already contains SPF, but worth knowing all the same!

This formula hydrates the skin and claims to contain powerful anti-oxidants to protect against damaging free radicals and turmeric extract to improve skin's radiance and tone! I don't think I've really been using this long enough to attest to any benefits for my skin, but it's always nice when a foundation considers some sort of skincare in tandem!

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation Application : NARS Sheer Glow & Real Techniques' Buffing Brush; Light 4 Deauville Swatch

Finish

Despite the name ‘Sheer Glow’ this foundation is not overly glowy, so fear-not my matte-loving friends. I would describe this is a natural-satin finish, which is kind of how the brand describes it. It certainly gives a luminosity to the skin, as I hope you can see in the photos below. I myself have normal-dehydrated skin so that should also be considered and I do apply a light dusting of powder around my nose and in the centre of my forehead, as otherwise I can start to look a little shiny after a few hours wear.

Coverage

Again, I'm more or less inclined to agree with the brand's description which touts this as a light-medium coverage foundation. Depending on the amount of product you choose to use you can easily get a great medium coverage from this foundation. Below, I have included a stage by stage picture guide to how I get my desired coverage from this foundation. 

Despite the graphic nature of my bare faced photos, I think it serves as a great illustration of what you can expect to achieve from this foundation. You can see my areas of redness, blemishes, and discolouration and how this application neutralised those areas quite flawlessly.
(As I mentioned earlier, I buff this into the skin using my Real Techniques' Buffing Brush. These photos were taken with natural sunlight.)

NARS Sheer Glow Review: Step 2 (dot over face)

NARS Sheer Glow Review: Step 3 (blended out)

NARS Sheer Glow Review: Step 4 (finished makeup with concealer, blush, etc)

Longevity

I’ve mentioned that as my skin type is normal-dehydrated, I don’t tend to have issues with foundation lasting on my skin. On my skin, most foundations will last a pretty solid 6-10 hours without needing any touch-ups. The same goes with NARS Sheer Glow. Although, as I mentioned regarding the finish, I do need a touch of powder to keep shine at bay. This foundation is recommended for normal-to-dry and dry skin types. For more oily skin, a primer, powder, or blotting paper may be more of a requirement to keep it looking it's best. Or you may just want to opt for the Sheer Matte foundation altogether!

Price
This foundation retails at €40 from the NARS website. I actually purchased mine from ASOS for €41.13 as with the free shipping and student discount it worked out cheaper! A pump can be purchased for €4.00 from the NARS website, but again with shipping costs it's something you can make do without.

Before & After: NARS Sheer Glow Review & Application

Overall, I think you can tell I really love this foundation! It has a great colour range, a beautiful finish, and just blends flawlessly with the skin! So, phew, you made it to the end! Thanks for reading and I hope it provides a helpful insight for you!
