REVIEW ON BEIGE CHUU STICK FOUNDATION IN #403-23 NATURAL BEIGE

We can't use mobile apps to edit our skin in real life so there is always a need to look for makeup products that will produce the HD effect even up close on the skin.  Of course mere mortal like us will not be able to carry around a makeup artist complete with great lighting so that we will look gorgeous all the time.

Looking for foundation that can do photoshop to your skin in real life? You may be interested in BEIGE Chuu Stick Foundation.

 My face with only the foundation. No filter as the foundation itself done all the photoshop already XD.

BEIGE CHUU stick Foundation #403-23
BEIGE CHUU stick Foundation #403-23

Beige is a brand sold online and is one of the top online brands in South Korea.  I saw famous Korean makeup artists like Jung Saem Mool featured it in one of the makeup tutorial XD.  BEIGE CHUU stick foundation is one of their best seller and I can see why.

The foundation comes in stick form which is easy for application and to carry around especially during travelling.

The foundation stick is light, soft and blended easily with my skin.  It has light smell of floral perfume which disappeared once the foundation is applied on the skin.

There are three colours for the stick foundation and the one I have here is the #403-23 Natural Beige.  So, if you have darker skin than 23, then I am sorry...apparently this colour is darker one tone than my face.  It does blend in nicely with my neck. There are three shades for this Beige Foundation stick-#401 21호Y(LIGHT BEIGE), #402 21호P(LIGHT PINK) and #403 23호(NATURAL BEIGE).  There is no other shades darker than #403-23 (Natural Beige)


It is not rub proof but is water resistant.  The foundation is of full coverage but doesn't look thick on my skin.  In fact, the foundation lasted on my skin whole day without looking cakey or flakes away.  I am living in the country with humidity of 95% and room temperature of 32 Celsius so this is great for being able to last for 8 hours on me.  After 8 hours, it starts to oil up so I look more glowy than usual.  The foundation makes me look like I have prefect skin with not even a hint of blemishes or redness.  It doesn't settle into my pores, doesn't clogged my pores or irritates my skin. For better oil control, use it with primer or makeup finisher.

I am not about that kind of 'touching makeup' life.  I only do my makeup once and that's it.  So having a stick foundation in the right shade and last long is a great addition to my makeup arsenal.

Overall,  I will recommend this for you who likes to travel, looks for full coverage, long wear, have skin that is not darker than #23 and likes looking photoshop in real life.  I will stick with this foundation until I could get something better and cheaper than this XD.  The only thing about this foundation it is not waterproof so don't go swimming with this only.

REVIEW ON PRIMERA ORGANIENCE WATER

Primera is a brand under the Amore Pacific for its eco-products and focus on the sprouts' extract.  I couldn't find any review about this Organience line other than ones in Korean blog but since my Hangul is almost non existent you could guess I just YOLO and get it based on my first sight.

At that time, my skin was still red after beating it with so many products after products and sensitivity to the weather.  I need something that won't aggravate my skin and let's just say I prefer plants based products.

I know it is not as interesting to tell people that I am using plants based products than saying I am using snails but everyone can have their own choice on their skincare products and so I prefer plants.

So, here is a review on Primera Organience Water which I am currently loving.(I hope the love will last). This is actually a hydrating toner.

prime + era = primera.   The compound word primera contains two words: prime, which means the most important, and era, meaning a fixed point in time; together, primera signals the most important period. primera is an eco-oriented cosmetic brand that focuses on the moment of germination when a plant releases its critical energy and collecting and delivering the energy directly to the skin.

The opening of the bottle is really small so you won't spill it but you still need to be careful else shaking too much might makes you pour out more than necessary.


All Primera products are free of parabens, synthetic pigments, and artificial fragrances

I love the herbal smell of the water.  The water absorb into my skin fast, hydrates my skin and does not leave a film behind.  It reduces the redness of my skin and calms the irritation of my skin making it soft and bouncy.  I tried not using it for few days and my skin sure misses Primera Organience Water.

Although it has oils from plants sources such as orange, rosemary leaves,lavender the water is still surprisingly light.  I think what makes different on my skin is the present of Soybean Sprout Extract, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract.

Soybean Sprouts helps in anti-aging and inhibit tyrosinase.
Dioscorea Japonica Root is a Japanese mountain yam that suppress allergic reaction for over sensitise skin.
Oryza Sativa(Rice) extract is for improving the texture of skin that has been damaged physically or chemically.
Houttuynia Cordata Extract is antifungal, anti bacterial, anti-viral and the plants that survives even after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2012.
Artemisia Vulgaris Extract is mugwort or wormwood relieves itchiness caused by burn or sensitivity.


Overall it is a hydrating toner that I will recommend for one looking for hydrating, organic products, herbal, love plant products and have sensitive combination skin.  It is also suitable during summer, for oily skin type and if you want to find something to protect your skin from polution.  It won't get rid of cystic acne that is cause by hormonal problems but it can help to calm the skin making my other acne spot treatment works better.  It also doesn't contains any animal derived ingredient.

Primera Organience water is my new love.  I hope that it can walk the 'test of time' to be called my HG soon.  The only complain is the opening of the bottle which is too small.


I will get it again from Globalinterpark as I saw it is the cheapest there.

REVIEW PAULA'S CHOICE MALAYSIA- PAULA'S CHOICE RESIST YOUTH EXTENDING DAILY HYDRATING FLUID BROAD SPECTRUM SPF50

Paula's Choice is a trusted brand for their skincare.  I have read about this popular US brand and seeing them featured in many magazine like Vogue.  Their most popular product that many acne prone skin have attest is their Paula's Choice Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment with 2% BHA .

I am so glad that this brand is finally in Malaysia because I know I have surely waited for this brand for years.
For today I am reviewing Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum SPF 50 which is a sunscreen for oily acne prone skin which I think many will be curious to know about.

Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum SPF 50

Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum SPF 50

Go out and have a great day. We’ve got you covered. This water-light moisturizer protects from sun damage, prevents the signs of aging, and hydrates without adding oil.

Anti-Aging, Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles
Combination, Oily Skin

What makes this product unique?
If you have oily skin and are concerned about preventing and repairing the signs of aging, Resist Youth-Extending Daily Fluid SPF 50 is the daytime moisturizer with sunscreen you will love to use every day.

A blend of soothing, plant-based antioxidants protects skin from environmental damage and works to fade brown spots and stimulate collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin. Ideal for use under makeup (so you can skip the foundation primer) and gentle enough for use around the eyes.

The sunscreen comes in form of a very light emulsion.  It absorbed fast into the skin and I don't even feel anything after the sunscreen dries up.  The finished is a hydrated moist looking skin which is not matte nor oily looking.  As for the oil control, I think my nose does have a slight sheen when oil comes out from the nose while my other drier areas is the same as it was in the morning and is not flaky.  I don't have huge pores so can't say something about that but the Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum does blur out the skin making it look slightly better.

The sunscreen doesn't have any fragrance to it so it smell a little like 'plastic' which is extremely faint and hardly noticeable.  Doesn't have any smell on my skin once dried.

It doesn't leave a white cast on the skin at all and it will not cause 'pilling' if you use foundation or BB cream after the sunscreen.  I think it is great for someone who has oily skin and lives in humid places.  I have been using it for two weeks and it didn't aggravate my skin condition nor clogged my pores.  I like that the few ingredients are water and glycerin which is very useful for hydrating the skin and keeping the skin moist.  After all, I like hydrated skin but minus those pore clogging ingredients.  There are some plants extract that are antioxidant to the skin but of course I couldn't attest to those ingredients unless I have been using them for two years.

Sunscreen is a good investment for your skin and it is one of the best thing you could do to prevent damage to your skin.

Overall, I will recommend it to oily or combination acne prone skin that needs a light sunscreen that hydrates their skin.  I think this Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum SPF 50 is as good as a famous French brand which is not available in Malaysia.  If you are looking for that brand, this is a similar product.
