Maybelline 8-in-1 B.B. Cream

I’ll get right to it. This product does nothing for me. I’d still go for my TFS makeup base and liquid foundation.

I don’t get sufficient coverage with this B.B. cream. This is the first BB cream that I’ve tried and I was disappointed. If I put too much, I look too white. If I put just enough, it’s as if I just applied powder.

I’ve been using this almost everyday for a month now and I can’t wait to finish it up so that I can go back to TFS.

The first time I used this, I developed a couple of rashes. My skin eventually got used to it. The consistency is too thin/watery for me. Are all BB creams like that? It also doesn’t help that it dries up fast so I have to spread and blend fast. I can’t use a sponge to apply this because the product just ends up in an ugly mess on my face. What I do is I apply a small amount on a sponge then dot it around my face then use a foundation brush to spread and blend.

Here are the swatches:

It looks the same on my face. It disappears after a while then I get oily. I can’t vouch for the other benefits that this BB cream promises because after a month of usage, I didn’t notice any difference.

I  have been quite apprehensive to purchase this for a while. Good thing it was on sale at Php250 when I finally decided to try it. I think it’s still Php250 at Watsons and Beauty by SM.

Have you tried the Maybelline BB Cream? Did it do wonders for you? Share!

    Works fine as a make up base for me:) Although it did break me out at first. Hehe.

    i like this since it doesn't give me that cakey look. however, it seems to be too light for my skin tone :)

    @Meedge lucky you!

    @Anonymous I think this line of BB Creams "specifically made for Asians" are really for our fairer counterparts, don't you think?

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
