Review: Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer Spf 20

Heya Beautiful Ladies!

Just yesterday, I have decided to buy Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer which I was eyeing for a long time! Back then, when I bought my clinique face powder at rustan's makati, I also checked out Laura Mercier's to ask the price of their best selling tinted moisturizer. I don't know if I heard the sales lady wrong, but I heard she said that it's 800php. So I was really surprised because I thought it was 2k plus since it costs 42usd at Laura Mercier's us website.

So when I got back yesterday (since it was payday last friday), I went to Laura Mercier's at rustan's makati and asked the price again since I am really decided to buy it (well, i thought it was just 800php!!!). Then when I got there, I've found out that it's real price is P1,850.00 (holy cow! That sales lady is dead to me!!! Or maybe I was just deaf?!). Anyway, since I really wanted to try it, I ended up buying it. So here's a quick review of it.

Pros:

Cons:
*expensive for everyday use!

My Verdict:
I am so in-love with this product so I highly recommend this one even for asians like me! It makes my skin looks smooth and it evens out my skintone (since I have spider veins on my face). It also has an spf20 for those who are always exposed to the rays of sun. It's kinda expensive but it's definitely worth buying! =D

Review: Clinique's Superpowder Double Facepowder

Heya Gorgeous Ladies!

Yes i know, i'm such an indolent blogger! Pardon me for the review's delay, I just had a busy week of work. So let's get to the business!

So here's my quick review:


Product Name: Clinique Superpowder Double Face Powder
Shade: Natural
Purchased from: Rustan's Makati
Current price: P1,700.00

The Packaging:


Light green, square compact that flips open via a silver button to the front of it that has Clinique inscribed into it. Open the compact up and to the top of it you have a large good quality square mirror and to the bottom of it the powder compact is large, round and pressed with a sponge applicator. I really liked this grown up looking compact and liked the marble effect it has to it, giving it a nice classy look.



PROS:
*silky powder
*goes on smooth
*unscented
*good coverage
*light weight
*doesn't clog the skin

CONS:
*not as longwearing for oily skins (i need to re-apply it 3 times)
*maybe a little pricey?

-I will recommend this product if you're just looking for a normal powder with a bit good coverage.

Product rating: 3.5/5
