Anong shade ng Hello Flawless perfect for NC25-30 skintone? I'm thinking honey? Mangangahas akong subukan ang dewy look.

[hawhaw]

maganda ba un coralista for nc25-30? benetint palang kasi natry ko..

[pret_ty68]

I love cha cha tint sa lips. Sa cheeks maganda naman pag naaayos ko ang pag ka blend kaya lang pagmedyo nagkakamali masyadong orange. Benetint naman kailangan medyo marami ako i apply para lumabas yung color.

I also tried Dr. Feel Good kaya lang bihira ko na gamitin para kasing na kaka cause nang breakout. Pinagpipilian ko kasi dati kung yung porefessional or Dr. Feel Good bibilhin ko but since meron pa akong smashbox primer mas pinili ko yung Dr. Feel Good dahil after foundie nilalagay.

I went to Benefit MOA and I tried pore prof, boi-ing, fake up, etc etc si SA talagang lahat pinapa try sa akin. Medyo nangati ang face ko after trying the product I ask my hubby to take a pic of me flawless ang dating.

I'm using the following at the moment:

1. Hello Oxygen Wow Foundation - a tad bit too dark for my skin tone, unfortunately. I got the wrong shade. It was hard to get a shade match via the internet. Pinabili ko lang kasi sa US sa Tita ko. I mix it with my BB Cream (Nature Republic Pore Botanical) which is super light and the combination is great! Gives my skin a nice, healthy glow. Walang oil control, so I have to set with oil-control powder on top. I think the hype for this product as well as its price is a bit high. Wouldn't repurchase but I don't regret buying it either. The feel is not too heavy on my skin. It actually feels like second skin. Very breathable foundation. I use my buffing brush to apply this.

2. Brow Zings in Medium - Used it once, inuubos ko pa kasi yung ELF Eyebrow Kit ko in Light. I think the latter is a great dupe, ang laki din ng price difference. Again, I had this bought for me from ULTA in the US. IDT there is much difference sa dalawa, ELF is definitely cheaper. Di nakakahinayang pag naubos mo na, you can easily buy another pan. What I love lang about the Brow Zings is that it has its own tweezers pa inside. May value-added service. Hehe

3.  Hoola - LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HOOLAAAA!  Unlike my The Balm Bahama Mama (which shows up quite muddy), this one has the right medium/neutral brown tinge to it, perfect for a wide range of skin tones. It's matte so it's perfect for contouring. Just use a light hand and build it up to desired color payoff. It's pigmented. I got it for much less than what it would retail for in the Benefit stores (from an online shop). I just use my angled brush for this one.

4. Sunbeam - I almost forgot to mention this heaven-sent highlighter. Gorgeous! Ugh. I love that it's gold and not pink or silvery like most highlighters. I particularly love using this when I have a bit of a tan going on. It has to be blended in very well, just put three small dots on the tops of your cheeks and voila! Sunkissed goddess look, it is!

I would love to try more Benefit products, but the price range is a bit off-putting. While they have stellar offerings, needless to say, there are plenty of dupes out there that are much more affordable and work just as good. 

Hope this helps!

Panget ba talaga staying power nung Hello Oxygen Wow foundation nila?

[sugardrop]

I'm pleased with the staying power of the Hello Flawless Wow Oxygen Liquid Foundation. Not as long lasting as Estee Lauder Double Wear, though. Needs to be set with powder and may require touch ups especially for those with combination-dry skin.

Thanks! I was having second thoughts before buying kasi sabi sa reviews few hours lang daw oily na. :|

That is true especially for oily-skinned gals. I have combi-oily skin and this lasts a few hours on me with touch ups in between. I still like this foundation a lot, though, since I love how it really does brighten my face.

Dati ko pa gusto bumili ng Benetint pero napigilan ko yung sarili ko because of the price saka meron pa akong tints from The Body Shop and Etude House. Kaso lang kanina napabili talaga ako agad ng Benetint. Hindi naman pala exactly the same ang shade niya with TBS and EH. Iba iba din sila ng texture.

I bought pore professional and used it friday nakapimple ang forehead and chin ko.  I will use it again tomorrow and see if ito nga ang dahilan wala naman akong napansing effect parang same lang.
