Oseur Facial Cream Review - Cheapest Anti-Acne EVER?


Pimples or Acne have always been a major 'blemish' problem for most people, including me. Those red bumps are not only a distracting flaw but also a warning of how dirty your skin is. It has various causes, from bacteria to reaction from menstruation (for women), making it one of the most common blemish one can have. Most brands know this, that's why there are many anti-acne or acne prevention products in the market. However, not all of them are effective to most people and it's really hard to find a product that is suitable for your skin. It's kind of a trial and error process, really. You find the product good for you after trying out a couple but to those people who can't afford to keep on buying skin care products for acne prevention, I have a solution for you.


This post is all about Oseur Pearl Facial Cream - an affordable all around cream for the face. It has three variants, the red packaging for the oily and dry skin and the pearl packaging. In this review, I will be focusing on the red packaging for dry skin because I've seen results on this one. For the oily skin and pearl packaging, my skin didn't react well and it caused me breakouts. The dry skin variant is only Php 20- 25 for 10grams, I forgot the exact price. You can buy the Oseur facial cream in any
Mercury drug stores. This gives the buyers an assurance that its FDA approved and somewhat safe to use.


The packaging is not sturdy. It's made of plastic and the cap gets opened easily. I suggest for you to refrain on putting this on your bag because it might open easily. The product, on the other hand, appears yellow but when applied to the skin, it turns white.


In the product description, it is stated that it can be used as a makeup base. I sincerely suggest you to NOT use it during day time as a cream or a makeup base. First, it's oily as seen in the picture above. Second, it's very white and does not match any skin tone. Third, it smells unpleasantly overwhelming. For me, I just use this as a night cream and leave it overnight.


Directions (as stated in the product description given)

Wash with warm water and mild soap before each application. For best results, apply for 2-3 times a day - morning, afternoon and night. Get a small dab of cream by the fingertips and spread over the face. Rub well into the skin until it disappears. Apply extra on the blemishes you have, also can be applied to neck for women. Apply this cream as a make-up base for cosmetics. For men: this cream is an invisible medication that can be worn all day and all night to help dry up, clear pimples and make your skin smooth. 

Results:

(This article has been long overdue that's why the result is dated back in January, hihi sorry)


As seen in the picture, there is a huge difference in my face. My pimples really dried up. Although, I haven't seen any difference in my blackheads. In addition, my face did not feel smooth after application, just the same feel I had before. Nevertheless, I bought this for my acne problem and it did the job, it also whitened my face a bit that's why I stopped applying and focused on my neck instead.


Verdict:

This is probably the cheapest facial cream I've encountered that has positive results. Although, I must warn you that this product needs maintenance because once you stop using it, pimples will emerge. Plus, if you're going to use this, also apply on your neck so that it will both whiten not just your face. (like mine did lol)

Power Of Natural Beauty


Last weekend, I was one of the lucky Youtubers who was invited in the Smart Launchpad workshop in FPLA. The event was very successful in my opinion with a few flaws of course. However, this post is not about Smart Launchpad, but this will focus on my final entry.

There were 100 entries, 6 were chosen as winners and all were very talented. Mine was different than most. It may be the shortest, may be the worst, but I wanted to tackle a very important issue in the beauty community. The beauty definition nowadays, is based on the latest trends. From eyebrows on fleek to Kylie Jenner lips, some people try to be someone they're not and they think it's beautiful. I'm not against that, however, sometimes it ventures away from the appreciation of an individual's natural beauty.

Thus,

The main point of this short video was to inspire teens, women, men or just people in general that beauty is first and foremost found in you and not with what you wear or put on your face.

Instead of the title "Power of Makeup", I used "Power of Natural Beauty" instead, to remind you, that you're beautiful with or without makeup.


Thank you for watching!

HAUL: Ashley Shine Make-Up (First Impressions Included)



Ever wondered if cheap make-up brands and products are worth your time? I do. Everytime I'm thinking of purchasing make-up. I don't usually buy high-end products, simply because I don't have an unlimited money resource. Thus, I usually settle for medium to high quality cheaper alternatives.

I noticed that a lot of sg cosmetics and China products are popular nowadays because of their price. So I decided to buy a lot in Ashley Shine cosmetics. AND GUESS what? I bought 10 items for just under 350 pesos. Neat, right?

Want to know if it's worth it? Check out my video!

Marvel: X-Men Jubilee Make Up Tutorial


Hey loves! So I posted another video in my Youtube channel. It's all about my X-men Jubilee inspired make up tutorial which is in collaboration with another youtuber. If you guys are a fan of X-men (not just the movies okay! haha), you'll know that Jubilee is actually one of the main characters before. She's the youngest (I think) of all the main casts. What I know for sure is she exceeds youth with her colorful clothing. This actually makes her stand out because the other characters like Wolverine, Rogue, etc wear their traditional X-men uniform while Jubilee sports her yellow jacket on top. Her powers are like fireworks; small bombs, I think. Anyway, I always wondered why she seldom wear her glasses, right?

This is my tutorial, I hope you guys like it!

Simple Everyday Make-up Tutorial


Hi guys! So as you know, I've been trying to upload videos on Youtube every Sunday. This video is a little late because there were some issues with my editing. SERIOUSLY, I'm having a problem editing my videos flawlessly but it's okay I'll learn. I know that I'm still starting and some of my videos are not that good, but bare with me I'll improve through experience and time. I'll really appreciate it if you guys can give me constructive criticisms or suggestions so I can learn from them. PLUS, support me in my journey. :)

Anyway, this video is about my everyday make-up tutorial. This is also my no make-up make-up since I don't really wear over blown makeup every single day. I just use make up so my face won't be haggard since I really have an oily face. This is good for people who want to look natural. This can also be applied if you're still in school and you're not allowed to wear make-up since this is not that noticeable.

MeNow 15 Color Contour Cream Series Review


Hey loves! I waited to post my review on this one after I'm done with editing and finalizing my color correcting and contouring tutorial on Youtube.

Before I put the link in this post, I'll start with the product review first. So I bought this product mainly because it's very C H E A P. It only costs a whopping 150 pesos about $3.20. At first glance, I thought that maybe the reason why this is so cheap is because it's fake. There are a lot of sg cosmetics sold nowadays so I asked the seller if this is authentic before buying it. She told me that it was indeed authentic but I'm not sure about it because some sellers lie about the authenticity of the product. I bought it anyways because I saw that it was a China brand and noticed that all of the sellers who have products from MeNow brand offer cheap prices. I took a shot and I'm glad I did because it performed well beyond my expectations.

So I'll just copy my brand background from my MeNow TrueLips Lip Liner review.
A brief background of what I know about the MeNow brand is it's made in China. They're known for their amazing kissproof lipsticks and it's very affordable. I read that it follows US regulations in cosmetics in one description at shopee. (For more information check their site: http://www.iou-mn.com/about.html) However, if you guys have sensitive skin and are scared to try this then don't. I don't know if this is completely safe so try this at your own risk. I'm merely reviewing my experience in this product.

The product packaging looks like a normal palette.



It has a plastic cover which is pretty durable for it's price. It's also very handy for a 15 concealer palette since it's petite. The products are placed neatly inside the palette. Inside the box, you'll see the product description an a little picture tutorial. Overall, I loved the packaging.

 I don't know if there are harmful ingredients on this product but check it out guys. In my experience, I did not have breakouts using this product but we all have different skin sensitivity so I can't say if this will be okay with all of you.

Swatches:


I'm amazed about the flexibility of this product because it's like an all in one palette. It can be used for color correcting and contouring. In addition, it also has an illuminator for added glow which is the white shade. So the flexibility is perfect. For the product itself, it's creamy and glides smoothly on the skin. I'm very surprised to see that it is indeed pigmented. The swatches you can see at my pictures is just one swipe. The smell, on the other hand, is unpleasant. For me, I can get over it after a while but I don't know if you guys will like it.

So this is my color correcting and contouring tutorial:




I shot the video at around 10:30 am in the morning. It's really easy to blend when you use a nice tool. I used sponges for my video that's why it took me longer to blend. I already tried blending it with a brush and it was much easier. What I noticed is that it's not that pigmented once blended because you can see traces of my dark undereye circles even if I blend it with a brush. HOWEVER, it's really great for only 150 pesos.



(I actually wiped my lip liner already in this picture because it kept on transferring to my food)
I took this picture at around 2:40 pm that's 4 hours and 10 minutes apart, my face got really oily so I blotted it first before taking a picture. As you can almost all the product is completely gone. You can really notice my under eye circles. It's also very hard to retouch because you've added so many layers on your face that you're pores start to suffocate. OH, by the way, this is not that light on the face so you can feel that you have make up on. But for me it's bearable.

In summary:
Packaging: 5/5
Smell: 2/5
Pigment: 4/5
Price: 5/5
Flexibility: 5/5
Longevity: 3/5

Verdict:
I will try other contouring products that are also cheap. This actually a great product for it's price but the longevity is not that great so I'm torn.

IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED, I will be putting the link of the seller below. She's really great. She even gave me freebies! YAY
