♥ GET READY WITH ME: Movie Date With Hubby! ♥

Hey everyone!

How’s your Thursday? While others are fond of #throwbackthursday, I’m gonna share with you a video I made three months ago. It is a “get ready with me” video and it’s basically where I’ll take you with me as I go through the whole process of glammin’ up myself. So, if you’re ready, sit back, relax and enjoy this video!

In case you’re wondering, my hair is very difficult to curl, so to create a beachy kind of curls that will last long, I applied a sculpting lotion first to my damp hair then parted my hair in the middle, braided both sides and slept on it overnight. If you want me to do a separate tutorial for it, just let me know on the comment section below. As for the movie we watched, it's the Man of Steel.

Fanny Serrano BB Cream Review

DEMO & REVIEW: FANNY SERRANO (FS) BB CREAM

Hi everyone! ^_^

I’m back with another product review and it’s gonna be on this BB cream from Fanny Serrano (now known as FS) cosmetics.

PRODUCT: Fanny Serrano (FS) BB Cream

PRICE: 299PHP (I’m not sure how much it costs now)

STORE: http://fscosmetics.com/

PRODUCT CLAIMS:

It’s an all-in-1 cosmetic breakthrough that has the properties of Foundation, to give your face a seamless coverage; Concealer, to flawlessly cover all blemishes; Moisturizer to keep your face from dryness; and UV-Protection, to protect your skin against the harmful rays from the sun.

OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5 HEARTS

THE REVIEW:

I love this BB cream to bits and pieces! It has immediately become one of my go-to makeup products since I got it and I’m sad that I’m about to finish it soon. I’m here in Singapore and I can’t get it from here (or maybe I can?). If anyone of you knows where I can get my hands on this BB cream here in Singapore, please let me know in the comments.

So, here are the things I like about this amazing product:

What I like?

Even though the packaging is nothing extra ordinary, I like its simplicity, the fact that it’s sleek and I’ve always been a fan of black, so what’s there not to like, right?! It’s easy to carry and toss inside my purse whenever I’m going out.
It is very easy to apply as you can see in the video above. You can use your clean fingers or a foundation brush of your choice. It is lightweight, allowing my skin to still breathe.
I love how the consistency is just right – not too thick and not too liquidy either.
Given its consistency, a good coverage is, of course, expected. The best thing is it doesn’t disappoint me. It always delivers! It gives me medium to full coverage depending on how thick I’m going to layer it up.
As for the finish, it gives me this healthy dewy glow that looks pretty amazing.
Its lasting power is great too. I mean, I already know that I have an oily-combination skin type, which means not a lot of foundation or bb cream can keep the shine away from my face for a long time. However, with this bb cream, my face can stay matte for up to max of 4-5 hours, so long as I set it with setting spray and powder.
It has a very faint perfume-ish scent which is no big deal for me and besides, it doesn’t claim to be fragrance-free, so all is well!
It has sun protection benefits (UV-Protection) and is indeed moisturizing

What I don’t like?

I’ve stared at the monitor for a good 10-15 minutes and I still couldn’t think of any particular aspect of this BB cream that I don’t really like. What I can think of that I really dislike is the fact that they don’t sell it here in Singapore, haha.

WOULD I REPURCHASE?

Yes, yes, yes! But since we don’t have it here in Singapore, I’m probably gonna have to buy like two or three of this when I visit my homeland or maybe I can ask my bestfriend to purchase it for me instead, haha.

DO I RECOMMEND THIS?

Totally YES! I have oily/combination skin, and this BB cream has worked great for me, what more for those with dry to normal skin type?!
