PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: SHISEIDO ACCENTUATING POWDER BLUSH IN B3

Here's an initial review on SHISEIDO ACCENTUATING POWDER BLUSH IN B3

PRICE: 1295PHP (?)

PLACE BOUGHT: SHISEIDO, THE FORT HIGH STREET

OTHER LOCATIONS: SHISEIDO COUNTERS AND BOUTIQUES IN ALL MALLS NATIONWIDE

THE VERDICT:

This is actually mom's product so I thought of reviewing this for you guys.

Mom told me that this is the perfect brown blush for her. It gives her a nice warm yet light toasty look.

The packaging is lightweight and thin so you don't have to worry about it eating up space and adding weight in your bag. It also comes with a blusher brush so you don't have to worry about bringing a set of brush in your bag.

Here's a closer look at the powder. I find the design cute. And for an expensive blush, the amount is kinda' small.

Here's a swatch of the blush on my hand. It's a beige- brown blush that goes on a little sheer. Layer it to build the color. It does give you a nice chiseled look because brown shades can enhance your skin tone and can give your face a contour.

However, I find this a bit similar to Nars' powder blush in Madly. I'd rather have that because I get a pretty big pan by adding a small amount that's not too big at all.

Again, I'm nowhere near impressed with the blush but it's decent. I'm not really a fan of the line. Well, my mom is. And I could pretty much say that this looked good on her. But I'm pretty fine with my Madly thankyouverymuch. :)

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: SHISEIDO PERFECT ROUGE LIPSTICK IN PK303

Here's an initial review on SHISEIDO PERFECT ROUGE PK303

PRICE: 1250PHP (GOT IT ON A 20% SALE SO I ONLY PAID 820PHP+ FOR THIS ONE)

PLACE BOUGHT: BONIFACIO HIGH STREET

OTHER LOCATIONS: SHISEIDO STORES AND COUNTERS IN ALL MALLS NATIONWIDE

THE VERDICT:

This is actually given to me by mom. She fell in love with the color and since she knew that I love lipsticks, she got me this one. Thanks mummy! :)

PK303 is a nice milky beige color. It is in the satin variant and it glides on like butter on the lips. It does not have any smell. Well, it might have for some but it's too light, it goes unnoticeable at all.

However, I still find this a bit drying on the lips even if it's in the satin variant. But staying power is kinda' impressive. If you use your lips too much, it gets wiped out.

Will I buy this again? Definitely not. I think this color is dupe-able by Nyx Round Lipstick in Thalia. And besides, the color range of the perfect rouge lipstick is ain't impressive and extensive so there's no way I'm repurchasing this. Unless if it's given as a gift. :)

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: SHISEIDO WHITE LUCENT POWDER FOUNDATION IN OO30

Here's an initial review on SHISEIDO WHITE LUCENT POWDER FOUNDATION (OO30)

PRICE: 1950PHP (?) FOR THE POWDER; 995PHP (?) FOR THE CASE

PLACE BOUGHT: SHISEIDO, THE FORT HIGH STREET, FORT BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY, TAGUIG

OTHER LOCATIONS: GLORIETTA; ALABANG TOWN CENTER; PODIUM; SHANGRI-LA MALL, ORTIGAS

THE VERDICT:

This is actually mom's powder. So for this is for the benefit of those who would want to try the Shiseido powders.

My mom has this fixation over powder shades that are a shade lighter than her skin tone. So she got OO30, which obviously a shade lighter than her skin tone.

It comes in a sophisticated looking compact with a compartment which separates the sponge from the powder, which makes this compact hygienic. I give it 10 stars.

Closer look at the powder

The consistency of the powder has a buttery texture. It glides on smoothly on my skin and it blends into a natural finish. It has a medium to heavy coverage. It also lasted my face on the whole day. It didn't quite control my oilies. But even if my oilies are visible, my face still remained flawless and finely covered.

I retouched my face for you guys so you can gauge how good the coverage of this foundation is.

Will I buy this? Maybe not. It's too expensive and I don't understand why I have to purchase the compact and the powder separately. Price is too steep for a foundation. I'd rather buy my HG powder foundation which is MAC's Studio Fix. But it someone gives this to me as a present, then I'd love to have it! :)
