Pond's: BB Cream

I got these BB creams from my March BDJ Pond's Exclusive Box. It comes in a 25g tube and costs PHP299 each on the market.

 

It comes in 2 shades. Light and Beige.

 

 The Pond’s Institute developed Pond’s Flawless White BB+ Cream—a whitening cream and lightweight foundation in one—giving both skin care and makeup benefits. Use Pond’s BB+ Cream to achieve a flawless, no-makeup look.

 

 Light and Beige.

 Light is for those who have cool undertones.

Beige is for those who have warm undertones.

What it looks like when blended.

It has a light coverage. You can still see that dark sport on my hand.

I'm wearing the light one here. (I'm the second one from the left)

 I'm wearing the beige one here. (I'm the second one from the left)

 Both pictures were taken at dinner time without retouch but then again I start my day at noon so you be the judge.

I've tried both and I've been using it for a week now. No breakouts yet.. surprisingly. I use it together with the Pearl Cleansing Gel and the Flawless White Dewy Rose Gel which makes the BB cream easier to apply it glides through the skin. Then I use my favorite pixy foundation to seal it in. :)

I think it's a good and cheap bb cream for everyday use. :)

Pixy Foundation

I finally got my hands on this much talked about Pixy Foundation. I was beginning to think it was just a myth (>_<). Well it's not. I'm just beginning to explore the world of cosmetics and it's driving me crazy XD. There's this thing about knowing the color of your undertones and what skin type you have. Anyway.. while searching for a good affordable foundation, I came across with Pixy Foundation.

 Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake Perfect Matte in Yellow Ochre

They have 3 types of foundation:

1. Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake Perfect Matte - for oily skin

2. Pixy UV Whitening Two Way Cake Perfect Fit - for dry skin

3. Pixy Ultimate Make up Cake - for lasting wear

The one I bought was Perfect Matte because I have oily skin. It comes in 3 shades, Honey Beige, True Beige and Yellow Ochre. I found Honey Beige too dark for me. True Beige was for those who have cool undertones so I end up choosing Yellow Ochre which was a shade lighter than my skin but was perfect because I'm acidic.

 Here's what the labels say

 The refill costs PHP145 at Watsons

This is after my little sister dropped my make up kit. T_T

Good thing it was still intact.

You can buy Pixy Products at selected Watsons stores and SM Cosmetics sections. They have one at SM Mega and Watsons at the Podium. 

I like the packaging but it won't close anymore after my sister dropped it. It has this fragrance which I didn't like but I can live with it. I applied it using a powder brush but the sponge that comes with it is nice too.

I think the shade was just right for me. After 3 hours, I was already getting oily. I'll try this next time without using moisturizer, maybe it would last longer XD
