Palladio Herbal Treatment Concealer

It was the first time I went inside the BeautyBar and I wasn't planning to buy anything in the store, but I saw this concealer called Palladio Natural Rice Eye Stick Treatment and Concealer. I was a bit sketchy because i haven't found any concealer that i really like and I don't want to spend so money if it's not even worth it, but sometimes I do have this impulsive buying thing going on with me when it comes to make ups.



They have six shades available: Ivory, Light, Medium, Dark, Yellow and Green but here in the Philippines we only have 4 shades without Yellow and Green. I don't remember the actual prize, but it is less than 500Php.

Pros:
-It blends beautifully
-Cover my undereye circles, even my acne scarring
-Doesn't cake
-It doesn't give you the highlight around the eye area that most concealers do which I like


Cons:
-It has a thick consistency, it will look un-natural if not blended well
-Settles into fine lines

E.L.F. Studio BB Cream Review

I love drugstore makeups. Especially for foundations, I'm a sucker for foundations! This is my first time to buy myself a BB Cream and it's from E.L.F.!

This E.L.F. BB Cream is a part of their studio line, retails at $6 for 1.06 oz of the product (sadly, not available in the Philippines) This BB Cream is available in six shades: Fair, Buff, Nude, Beige, Medium and Dark. I will be reviewing the shade Buff.




As you guys can see, this BB Cream has a pump and I love the fact that it has a pump, since it's not messy and more hygienic.

Sorry guys I don't have a nice camera to capture the swatch for you, but it's a little lighter than my skin tone which is I really like, since it's better to have a shade lighter than your actual skin tone than a shade darker.

Let's get on with the review:
When I applied it on my face I noticed that It has a smell, it's not a bad smell I actually like it but it goes away minutes after you apply it.

This BB Cream has a light coverage and a dewy finish, It made my skin look healthy! I like it, but it's not for me. I have a very oily skin so the maximum staying power of this is 2 hours or 3 hours tops plus the humid weather here in the Philippines.

I would totally recommend this for those who has a dry skin and for those who wanted a very light coverage.
