Guest Blogger: Sexy Tina - Review: VMV So Clear Oil-Absorbing, Clarifying Pressed Powder in Ochre

I have oily skin and that has been a problem for me ever since.
Whenever I apply make up, I have to reapply it every hour or so which
is quite a hassle especially at night when I'm out with my friends.

I've been using only the basic J&J baby powder ever since because
my skin is quite sensitive and im too afraid to use other products because 
they might cause breakouts. But since I discovered that VMV
works well for me through using their blush on, I got interested to
buy their oil control powder too.

Strolling around the make up counters at a mall in Makati, I found
out that VMV offers oil control powders in 5 shades. I picked 
OCHRE since it is similar to my skin color. The market price for
this powder is 1700 but VMV is having a 40% sale on all powders
so you can own one for only P1020. According to the sales lady, the powder
will make you oil free up to two hours. Let's prove (or disprove) that!

Here are the pros and cons of this powder:

Pros:
1. Comes in a nice looking pouch bag, as all VMV products do.
2. Comes with powder foam.
3. Has little to no fragrance
4. The texture of the powder is really fine and blends well into the skin.

Cons
1. Little to no coverage so you cant use it on it's own.

The powder did keep me oil free for two hours, but that is considering
that for the entire two hours, I only stayed in the office, which is an
airconditioned building. I have yet to test if it still works the same way when
I'm out and exposed to the sun. Given that, I can still say that I love
the VMV powder and it's a really great deal if you get it on sale! :)

On the go Review: Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss


Why on the go Review?? Well..I'm actually using my phone to write this review and I'm at the office right now. Sshh! Don't tell my boss. Haha. Ok let's start!

This lip gloss was a gift to my sister but lucky me, my sister is not fond of make-up like me. So.. Now it's all MINE!!! Hahaha.

The product:
Elizabeth Arden - High Shine Lip Gloss
Inside the box.
Applicator - Elizabeth Arden - High Shine Lip Gloss

Swatch - Elizabeth Arden - High Shine Lip Gloss

Bare Lips - Elizabeth Arden - High Shine Lip Gloss
Without Lip Gloss
Swatch on Lips - Elizabeth Arden - High Shine Lip Gloss
With Lip Gloss

Verdict Time!!

What I love about it:
  • The color, Rosegold. Great color for autumn. Complete your natural look with this Lip Gloss.
  • The smell. It smells like chocolate. Close to chocolate. Haha. Yum!
  • The packaging. You'll hear a 'click' sound when you close it. (No more overturning the tube accidents!)
What I hate about it:
  • The consistency. Very thick and sticky. Same feeling when you apply it on your lips. Sticky and heavy.
  • If you have dry and chapped lips, this is not the lip gloss for you. (Very drying for the lips.)
  • The package said "High Shine Lip Gloss". Actually I don't see any shine. I only have gold glitters on my lips. (but it's not shining.)
Score: 3/10
Repurchase? No.

What's your favorite Lip Gloss?
