http://eng.theskinfood.com/Product/product_detail.asp?cat=1|5|37|0&productid=3197
DESCRIPTION FROM SKINFOOD SITE:
a multi-purpose product that makes your lips and cheeks moist and lustrous with fresh fruit colors.
* To Use - For lips: Using your finger or a lip brush, apply it on your lips. - For cheek: Using your finger or sponge, apply it evenly on the part of your cheek that protrudes a bit when you smile.
PROS:
- The color swatches exactly like what it looks like in the pan
- Pigmentation is very good, the swatch I did was only from swiping it once
- One swipe is enough for one cheek, another for the other :P
- The color is fairly universally complimenting to most skin tones, even dark skin tones since it is bright enough and pigmented enough to show up
- The packaging is very cute and vintage-y looking
- The size of the product makes it very travel-friendly!
CONS:
- The color only lasts for a couple of hours, so then I'd have to reapply it
- kind of defeats the purpose of it being a "tint"
- You have to apply it with your fingers, or very carefully with a make up sponge
- It attracts dust/lint like crazy!! So you can't use a brush to apply it, and you'd have to use a very very clean sponge.
OVERALL RATING OUT OF 5:
♥♥♥♥½♡
I REALLY LIKE IT, and RECOMMEND IT!
Although when I first got it, I was surprised the consistency was creamy, it almost felt like a lip gloss you get in a tin, but because it's a creamy consistency, it does not create any dry patches on my face, and my lips stay hydrated. I usually like applying my make up with brushes, so it kind of bums me out that I have to stick my finger in it(I really hate products like that), but the results I get overpower the hates I have for it. The color is very build-able, but when you first apply one swipe on your lips/cheeks, it's a very natural and flattering color. I actually like the color, and it does not look too much when you wear it on your cheeks and lips at the same time.
I actually ordered this from a store online on Facebook, I'm not sure if they do shipping because they work around my area (Vancouver, BC). But here's the link if you're interested!!
I purchased this for $11CAD, a bit pricey for this puny thing, but I like it enough to justify the price!
There's also 5 other colors available as well.

http://eng.theskinfood.com/Product/product_detail.asp?cat=2|145|204|0&productid=3927
DESCRIPTION FROM SKINFOOD SITE:
This flexible jelly pudding BB cream contains moisture-rich revitalizing ingredients from orange to keep your skin ultra moisturized and to create a hydrated and jelly-like resilient skin with a smooth finish.
* To Use
Put a moderate amount of cream on your hand and tap around on your skin. Use a modicum amount for each use because it contains lots of hydration, and then make sure to put the cap back on not to lose hydration.
PROS:
- Has medium-high coverage
- It's build-able, and you do not need very much to have even coverage
- Product will probably last for a while...
- Very hydrating, does not make my skin look flaky at all
- Smells so goooood, literally like red oranges yummm
- Super easy to spread since it has a jelly-like consistency
- It has no grey undertones like other BB Creams
- Contains SPF20 PA++, but it doesn't create a white cast like most spf, it does brighten your skin very naturally though
- Matte finish
CONS:
- I can't say anything for oil control since my skin is combination more on the drier side
- Personally, I like a dewy finish, so I'd have to use a make up base with a dewy finish under
- I usually don't apply primer, which I should though, since I'm lazy... more work TT^TT
- It's in a jar, so I hate having to stick in my finger or brush to pick up product
- I actually went to Sephora and took some of their little paddles they use to get samples for skin care LOL shhh*~
- Really easy for you to apply too much if you're not careful

RECOMMEND TO THOSE WHO WANT A MATTE EVEN FINISH!
I'm currently using it everyday, it's a very natural foundation, but because I like having a dewy finish, I have to apply more face make up than I need to. I'm only using it everyday so I could just finish it up haha. This BB Cream is very photo friendly though because of it's even coverage, and matte finish despite it has SPF 20 in it. Which is goood, the SPF does not create any ghostly white cast on my face when I take pictures which I like. It comes in only 2 shades [no.1 Light Beige (Which I use), and no.2 Natural Beige] like most BB Creams.
What led me to try this BB Cream, probably like many others, was because of YouTube Guru, Oiseau88, this is apparently her favorite BB Cream. Swatches can be found in a lot of her videos:
I also heard that they may be discontinuing their Red Orange Line as well, so I suggest you pick this BB Cream up if it sounds like it maybe the BB Cream for you ^o^~
I also ordered this from the store online on Facebook, I'm not sure if they do shipping because they work around my area (Vancouver, BC). But here's the link if you're interested!!
I purchased this for $19CAD, the price is fair for a BB Cream in my opinion :)
DESCRIPTION FROM SEPHORA:
Naked2
What it is:
The most anticipated sequel of the decade, Naked2 features a dozen pigment-rich taupe and gray-beige neutrals, plus five exclusive, new shades.
What it does:
The follow up to the original bestselling Naked palette, this stunning second edition proves that neutral is anything but boring. Showcasing a dozen completely different shades than the first bronze-based collection, it includes a stunning range from pale and deep, to matte and sparkly. You'll achieve a host of new neutral looks, smoky dramatic eyes, and everything in between. The palette also includes a travel-size Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked and a double-ended, cruelty-free Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush (available only in this palette).
This set contains:
- 12 x 0.05 oz Eyeshadows in Foxy (cream bisque with matte finish), Half Baked (golden-bronze with shimmering finish), Booty Call (shimmering cork), Chopper (copper shimmer with silver microglitter), Tease (creamy pale brown with matte finish), Snake Bite (dark bronze shimmer with metallic base), Suspect (pale golden beige with shimmering finish), Pistol (light gray-brown with shimmering finish), Verve (oyster with shimmering finish), YDK (cool bronze shimmer with metallic base), Busted (deep brown with shimmering finish), Blackout (blackest black with matte finish)
- Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush
- 0.11 oz Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked (pinky neutral)
PROS:
- The colors are super wearable for just about anyone
- Pigmentation is super good, and it applies smoothly
- The brush that it comes with works well if you want to create naturally blended looks
- Probably the reason why a lot of people find the brush useless, because it doesn't pick it up as well as it should be
- but I like the naturally blended look so I don't find it a problem at all (I don't usually look strong harsh shadow on my eyes)
- The lip-gloss it comes with is minty and super wear-able as well (Sorry no picture)
- The packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly
- Good value for what you pay for!! ($60CAD and you get 12 eyeshadows, a double-ended blush, and mini lip-gloss)
- The mirror is big, so you wouldn't need another mirror if you didn't have one when you travel
- Contains matte colors, huge plus!! Usually Urban Decay really go all out on the shimmery/metallic colors
- The black shadow is superrr pigmented, and could probably be sufficient as eye-liner
- Can create endless types of looks with this one palette
I don't have any cons really for this palette, except for maybe some of the colours I don't really touch, but I can't complain since it is a palette made for mass consumers not for me personally :P I don't own the first Naked palette, but I did see it and decided to opt for the 2nd Palette instead of the first since, the colours in the first palette are more to the warm browns and bronzes instead. From what I see, the Naked 2 palette is a lot more cool toned, with also like 2-3 warm colours as well. Which I like, I don't really like warm shadows too much (especially when I had lighter hair, thought it made me look to orange hahahaha!!)
OVERALL RATING OUT OF 5:
♥♥♥♥♥
I didn't do any swatches because I'm lazy and also because it's so popular there are bound to be swatches on other blogs and YouTube Videos :P (I blame myself!!)
And that's all for today! Sorry for the huge break, I'm still really busy with school and work, but I will try to put up and finish the StyleNanda review for this weekend!
Bye for now!!
Ttalgi~
