Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

I had this in Beige.

The texture is very creamy, and the colour is good for my skin. However when put it on it gets very heavy and too creamy for my liking. It is good for undereye, although now Bobbi recommends us to use a Corrector before the Concealer. When I did try corrector and concealer, the result was good but too heavy for my skin. Did not like that at all.

When put on my cheek to cover redness, my skin looks smooth after I finished with my makeup. However in the afternoon in my heavily air-conditioned office, my skin showed signs of peeling.

Will not be repurchasing. I had difficulties to even finish it, only used it for less than 20 times overall.

L’Oreal True Match Foundation

I had this in W3. The finish was quite nice, it was powdery, not heavy, and the colour somewhat matches my skin tone. However it sort of disappeared off my face after a couple of hours, it did not last at all.

The price of this was not as high as Bobbi as it is a drugstore product. However I will not repurchase as I don’t like the result. I used this less than 10 times before I decided to stop using it.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation SPF15

Colour

I have this in NC20. This was recommended by the Sales Assistant, however I feel that the colour is either too light or too pale or too cold for me.

Coverage

This liquid foundation provides medium coverage.  Maybe because it absorbs oil, I also have the feeling that it dries up my face. I can see peeling skin on my forehead a few hours after application.

Application

It needs to be applied and blended as soon as I put it on my skin, if I’m not fast enough it dries up and gets cakey. I feel that no powder is necessary after this, as it mattes-out my skin and I’m afraid that adding powder will only make my face even more ghostly.

Price

Expensive, about SGD 60-70, similar price to Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich foundation.

Summary

Definitely not going to repurchase. Disappointed with the result.

Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF15

Colour

I have this in 3 Beige. The colour “disappears” on my face.

Coverage

This liquid foundation provides medium coverage.  It somewhat evens out my complexion, which has redness on my cheek around my nose. It does not cover my blemishes, so I need another concealer to cover them off. The texture is smooth and creamy, it does not dry my skin but at the same time it does not cause breakout either. It does not feel heavy; in fact I feel like I’m wearing nothing on my face. My colleague commented that I have nice skin when I have this foundation on. I can wear this in winter and in my heavily air conditioned office, without the fear of having dry skin.

Application

Fingers are sufficient. No brush or sponge necessary. Very easy to apply, no streak and it does not dry up too quickly. I notice that this foundation works better with makeup base. I use MAC Prep + Prime SPF 50.  After the foundation, I apply Bobbi Brown loose powder in 5 Soft Sand.

Lasting Power

My face gets oily after lunch time. If I don’t wear any primer, my face gets oily after a couple of hours max.

Photograph Effect

No “ghost face” visible. My skin usually looks even in photographs when I wear this foundation.

Price

Expensive, about SGD 60-70, can’t remember the price exactly as I bought this close to 2 years ago. (Hence it’s time to change!)

Summary

Overall great foundation. If I cannot find any better foundation, I know I can safely go back to this one.

Déjame Ir – Paty Cantu

Mi marido encontró una canción de Paty Cantu – Déjame Ir la semana pasada y nos mucho gusta. Hoy he encontrado las letras y he probado traducir las palabras.

¡ Venga vamos !

El original

Amor…

Qué conveniente situación, me has conformado el corazón con
las migajas de tu amor…
Por tí, no creo en mí
y aún así pides más…

**
No me queda nada, ¿qué quieres de mi?
¿Que te da el derecho de hacerme sufrir?
Guarda tus palabras y déjame ir…
¿Quién dijo que una mentira puede hacer feliz?
más que la verdad, amor, no hablaba de mí…

Amor…

Si ya no existe otro adjetivo…
para este amor tan despectivo, dime…
¿qué diablos haces ya conmigo, y qué hago aquí?
y aun así pides más…

**

Si alguna vez me quisiste, sólo dejáme ir…
déjame ir…

**

In English (My Version)

Let me Go – Paty Cantu

My love,

What a convenient situation, I have filled up my heart
With every bit of your love
For you, I don’t think about me
And still ask for more

**
I don’t have anything, what do you want from me
What give you the right to make me suffer
Save your words and let me go
Who said a lie can give happiness
And the truth, my love, not about me

My love,

There is no other adjective exists
For this love so destructive
What the hell do you do with me
And what am I doing here
Still ask for more

**

If I ever wanted, just let me go
Let me go

**

The Hangover – la Pelicula muy Divertida

Ayer, despues trabajar, fui al cine con mi marido y nos amigo. Primera, comimos cocina de fusion en Cathay, despues compramos las palomitas, y fuimos al cine.

Elegi la pelicula: The Hangover. El fue la pelicula divertida, sobre cuatro hombres vamos a Las Vegas y se emborrachan, ellos no recuerdo nada. En el pelicula hay Mike Tyson, un tigre, dos bodas, y un diente.

Me gusta mucho Bradley Cooper, el es guapo y divertido.

Volvimos a las 9, estuve cansada pero bastante contenta.
