Hello everyone,

Now, I want to share with you 10 beauty products I wish the most upon this festive season, since it will give my skin the love and care it deserved.

I personally enjoy a lot of Althea's products since they do work well and come with affordable prices. The products also varied from famous brands to local from Korea that deliver good result, like their skincare products.

One of the most famous brand and the one that I adore the most is Belif. I love the fact that they so into the skin and with herbal philosophy that care and protect the skin in so many ways.

Chamomile itself is famous for caring, calming and soothing the skin, and look at the ingredients, no synthetic dyes, no animal origins, so pure plants, no mineral oils, no fake fragrance, and proven efficacy that only Belif can deliver. Comes in bottle that really make you feel you're from an apothecary back in the old days.

Next is Flawless Creamy Concelaer, like who doesn't need one, we always need a concealer, even one can help create a flawless look more than any base makeup. Use it on areas needed or to help covers all the sin our skin ever have.

COVERMARK Soft(es) Pact

Hello lovelies,

Alongside with the foundation by Covermark, this is a cake type foundation that can be used together, alone, or with another base for makeup.

-*-

You can purchase the container, or the refill, like the one I have. It pretty much doesn't disrupt the function, especially when used at home.

-*-

Transforming foundation cream. This Creamy foundation changes into powder once applied onto skin, effectively covering dark spots, freckles and dullness to provides a silky, moist feeling that lasts all day.

1. Quickly and easily covers blemishes.
2. Water-resistant.
3. Stays on for hours.
4. Contains six types of oriental plant extracts which keep skin moist for a long time.
5. Blocks UV rays and prevents dark spots and freckles caused by sun damage. (SPF33 PA+++)
6. Fragrance free.

After applying a makeup base, dab an adequate amount of foundation onto a sponge and spread evenly. Reapply on areas where more coverage is needed

-*-

The details on the ingredients are listed on the box.

-*-

I choose I 2, it is a very light color that I can use as a bit of a highlighter and/or concealer. And as seen, it was pretty dense, like a thick cream with heavy powder.

-*-

But when used on the skin it pretty much comfortable and light. It does turns into this powdery consistency when I used after a primer and Moisture Veil Creamy Liquid.

I don't use it all over the face, more like on acne marks, areas where concealer is needed, under the eyes and so on. Dab it on areas that need more coverage using a sponge.

-*-

I pretty much enjoyed using it when after a hydrating base or on a very moist skin when rich moisturizing skincare has been used.

-*-

But when I want a fresher finish with lighter coverage or perhaps a more natural finish, I usually skip the base, I use the foundation,  Soft(es) Pact and a loose powder to set the base.

-*-

The result is a matter skin, light and suitable for makeup on the go since it is faster. The powdery finish will become a sure winner for those with oily skin since it helps them to get that 'fresh' look.

-*-

Thank you Covermark Indonesia, Soft(es) Pact has become an addition to my makeup collection that add coverage without the weight. The velvety powdery finish is a sure winner for lasting all day long.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Concealer

Hello lovelies,

a few days ago I was invited by Make Up For Ever Indonesia for the launch of their newest baby.  

Dressed up in their dress code as Elegant Black, I'm opt into something serious as the product would be.

-*-

The event was held at GIA Restaurant and everyone is excited to see the concealer that said to be so natural and light.

-*-

Comes in 10 shades that cover from light, yellowish, pinkish to darker skin and everything in between. 

It was made to matched with the trend of natural makeup or no makeup makeup.

Remember the Ultra HD Foundation? Well, this is her partner in crime, MFEO. Aside from that, the concealer will improve everything it touches, from concealing to brighten and sparks the makeup used on top like eyeshadow. 

Dark circle, wrinkles, fine lines? No problem!

-*-

During the event, they share a mask for us to use as it portrays how we used to hide imperfection.

-*-

Now as Make Up For Ever reveal their new collection, we are no longer need to hide anymore.

-*-

The packaging is simple in black and white details as usual, their signature shades.

-*-

Ingredients and other information are given on the packaging.

http://www.makeupforever.com

The latest ULTRA HD innovation created for instant under eye perfection, ULTRA HD Concealer is the ultimate dark circle corrector & concealer.

ULTRA HD Concealer allows you to color correct with our red undertone shades and conceal dark circles and brighten with yellow undertone shades.  Use our Shade Finder to find your perfect shades.

Anti-Dark Circle Complex with Radiance Booster stimulates collagen to refresh under eyes. The formula reflects light to erase shadows andfills & smooths fine lines, and Hyaluronic Spheres help hydrate skin.

Exclusive 4K Complex guarantees invisible,

natural and comfortable makeup. This easy-blend and long-wearing formula illuminates the eye area for a fresh look. Medium coverage. For all skin types.

-*-

And a simple instruction as well. But as usual, the true testament is when the product is actually used.

I'm choosing Y23, a tad lighter than my actual shade as it helps as a highlighter too. I can use the one that exactly my shade but I need a highlighter too as most brand doesn't really have fair shades I can use.

-*-

Above is me after using the foundation from their Ultra HD Collection.

-*-




And here's the concealer, the tip is white and I can just dab it directly onto the skin. The concealer is like a lotion type liquid and with a gentle press will comes out from the tube.

-*-




I put it on some areas like shown above and adding some more on the areas I want to highlight.

-*-





I can either use a sponge or fingers by a dabbing or tapping motion to blend the product onto the skin.

Instantly covers imperfection like dark circle under the eyes, and fine lines too.

-*-




The feeling on the skin is light and like using none.

-*-




I add some powder, contour, and color makeup and looks flawless.

-*-




Overall,

Love the effect, love the texture and love the finish. Make Up For Ever, rocks!
