So basically, the product itself is a base to be used before applying makeup. The base that provide a smoother finish for the makeup by covering large pores, so there's minimal 'bumps' or 'holes' need to be covered. The result should be a unified skin with minimal pores appearance and visible on the surface.

-*-


Pore Silky Balm comes in a black rounded container with spatula and sponge provided. The balm is a white soft-velvety like and yes, silicone is involved. But usually with other brand, this kind of product suitable to be used only as a base before liquid makeup, Pore Silky Balm by 3 Concept Eyes are made for before and after makeup application, as in for touch ups.

-*-


This is the products and like said on the instruction, used the product little by little and I find the rubbery sponge to be much helpful.

-*-


The result is a smoother skin, minimal pores and reduce the redness as well. The skin feels powdery soft and applying makeup right after also become easier and less hassle. I can use liquid or powder foundation afterwards, it really doesn't matter, no noodling found here.

And they hide fine lines too ^__^

-*-
The product alone is perfect for a non makeup makeup look. Apply the Pore Silky Balm, followed by powder or a light liquid foundation, then loose powder. For a maximum coverage, apply the Pore Silky Balm, followed by liquid foundation or cream foundation, concealer, loose powder and then compact powder. You may decrease the products used by deciding on the coverage and your skin condition. Just remember to use skincare before the Pore Silky Balm and let the skincare sips for 15 minutes as well.

-*-




For me this is another great product from 3 Concept Eyes that gives result, but I think the price itself could be lower, there are other brands that offer similar result but comes with friendlier cost.

Mores White Booster

Hello lovelies,

this is a product from Thailand called Mores White Booster. Like said on the title and brand, this is a product that offer whiter skin appearance.

-*-


Written on the packaging, the product contains a high performance PhytocellTec Technology from Switzerland plus high concentrated natural ingredients offer excellent whitening and skin-beautifying effect, enhancing skin-barrier, preventing acne, pimples (anti-bacterial effect) and reducing dark spots.

The product contains:

1. Phytocell Tec Argan: accelerating skin's natural repair process. Boosting collagen and elastin.
2. PhytocellTec Alp Rose : enhancing skin resistance from environmental changing and stress.
3. Regu-Fade: Preventing acne, dark spot and also brighten your facial skin.
4. Evermat: Anti-bacterial agent and tightening pore.

-*-


Alongside with the package, Mores also sent me an eye sleeping mask, an eye cream which I have so little information about. So let's just focus on the White Booster for now.

-*-



The ingredients and details are clearly written on the packaging, do click on any image to see them in larger view, especially for the ingredients.

-*-




The product is like a sleeping mask, use it and let it stay on the skin, so perhaps the words sleeping mask are only referring to a product used without being rinsed off and with the effectiveness of a mask.

-*-


The texture of the product is like a white creamy lotion that easily penetrated on the skin. It has a subtle floral scent that lingers for a while. The formula feels comfortable on the skin and light too. Not greasy, not oily, just a simple lotion in terms of thickness and capability to be absorbed. I usually add a moisturizer after White Booster for my dry skin.

-*-

And the product clearly seen able to brighten the skin, it even made them reflects lights better in photos. These are the result within days. At first, I see that some flakes off my skin, I thought it was the reaction from using the product. It's like dead skin coming off, they are not a lot nor severe but noticeable. So I stop for a while and continue using it again, and it doesn't shed anymore, perhaps it is due to this product or perhaps another, I have no idea, all I know now is that the product doesn't make my skin shed anymore.

-*-


Beside me, I'm also ask my sister to try using White Booster as well, like me, visible result seen almost immediately. For her skin tone (a few darker shade than mine) the effect even seen around 5 minutes after applying. Below you can see the differences.

On her, she experience no 'exfoliation' whatsoever, so there's no dead skin cells flaking off nor any skin seems to be removed during the process.

-*-




I can happily says that the product works really well in help brightening the skin. Does not promote exfoliation, doesn't make the skin oily nor dry, but for those who have dry skin or dehydrated skin a hydrating moisturizer is still needed. Light in terms of texture, like a white lotion and easy to be used.

-*-




Thank you so much Mores White Booster for the high efficacy products that helps brighten the skin almost instantly.

Each pump disperse the freshly activated serum, use it on a cleaned skin and after toner. It felt so light yet enriching at the same time. I can feel the instant hydration and nourishment on to the skin. Brighter, smoother and radiance are amongst the first visible effects.

As seen from the first image, how it is pumped, blended and then easily absorbed to the skin, the serum then leave traces of that pearly dusts on the skin. It is very beautiful and pretty at the same time. The skin looks happy and rejoicing accepting the serum.

After using the product for weeks, I can see that my skin looks and does appear younger.

Shu Uemuera Laque Supreme


Hello lovelies!!!

Who loves shu uemura? All beauty enthusiast does >.< we love shu uemura and their colors, collection and varieties. Utterly cute and most of them has become the must have collections.

Their recent addition is Yazbukey and the products given during the event are Laque Supreme.

-*-



I happen to be given two Laque Supreme, one in RD 03 known as Flame Red (passionate) and RD 04 known as Shu Red (timeless beauty). 

-*-

laque supreme

make a statement high impact color - exquisite shine

inspired by the premium Japanese lacquerware, the new laque supreme combines highly intense color and brilliant shine to create a statement lip. express your unique character with 15 statement shades including the two special red shades developed for laque supreme.

INSPIRATION

premium japanese lacquerware

the deep and shiny luster of black or red color is the unique characteristics of urushi, Japanese lacquer. the term “urushi” is said to be delivered from the terms “uruwashii” and “uruosu”, which mean “beautiful”, “moist and luxurious” in
japanese. no other finish can match the deep hues and smoothness of the lacquer.
 
-*-



The product comes with a

TECHNOLOGY

shu red-dye complex

shu red-dye complex, a mixture of red dye and
red pigment added to provide deep color intensity.
it is added to all shades to achieve intense color.

innovative applicator
unique ergonomic shape fits the curve of lips for
thin and even application and provides precise contouring.

-*-


These are the swatches of the two shades.

-*-

RD 03 is red with a hint of orange and RD 04 is a pinkish red. On the first swipe it may be a bit faint, but the product is buildable and when the layers are full it form like a leathery film on the lips.

-*-


When cleaned, they'll leave a tinted reside on the skin. The RD 03 will appear more orange and the RD 04 more to the red.

-*-


It is amazing how they look similar yet so different.

-*-



Between above and the image below, I'm using the same product of RD 04, in the image above I'm using several swipe and it looks much more 'thicker' and fuller coverage too. In the below image, it's just one swipe, the result is a sheerer finish.

-*-



I really love the thin gel liquid formula, it felt ultra comfortable on the lips. It is light, not creamy at all, like a watery gel, and smooth too. The color is buildable like mentioned above and even when it's applied over and over, there's no thickness to the formula, just a more intense color that last. After wiping it off there will be tint left on the lips, so using the Laque Supreme will help the lips stays 'colored' all day long even after the formula wiped off.

-*-




This is the look with RD 03, the hint of orange made the look fresh. That just enough gloss create a subtle irresistible shine.

Thank you so much Shu Uemura for these wonderful products, definitely worth splurged on.
