- Won’t clog pores

I bought this on a whim when I read a good reviews about this product. Honestly, I am not into mineral foundation because its application is very time consuming, not good if you are always in a hurry for school or work like me. But this product is amazing. I use this over my liquid foundation and this creates a glowing and flawless face.
What I love about this product:
- This has SPF 25/PA.
- It delivers light-medium coverage. This feels very light on skin.
- Contains no harmful PARABENS. This did not made my skin itch or caused e break outs.
- I use this as a finishing powder on top of my liquid foundation and bb cream. It blends on my skin really well.This creates an illusion of No makeup Look. It looks very natural when applied.
- This creates a natural glow on me.
- This products is very economical because a little goes a long way. I had this since July 2009 and I am now almost finish with it.
- This is a very finely milled powder. It does not highlight my dry skin and rashes at all and reduces redness of my skin. I actually reach for this during days when i have bad skin due to rashes.
- The shades are limited but I found a shade that suits my skin. Natural Ochre is way lighter on my NC37 skin but it blends on me like magic. Two thumbs up for this.
What I do not like about this product?
- The brush that came with it is really scratchy and this one is really dispensable. In applying this, I use my ELF powder brush.
- I just have a hard time applying it underneath my eyes.
- I cannot use this alone because I find it too sheer/light for my taste.
Look how finely milled this powder is?
It can cover my rashes well but not pimples and acne marks.
Over all, I really love this product and I will definitely repurchase.
I made an FOTD using this one. Here is a picture:

Nichido Girl's Night Out
Color Intense Eye Pencil
Price: 88.00 pesos
Hi readers!! I want to share with you swatches of these eye pencils that are aboslutely delish!! They are really pigmented. However, these are not waterproof but they stay on me (take note, I have super dry skin)for 2 hours or so without retouching especially if the weather is not that humid. They glide easily, the consistency is creamy and the color pay off is very nice. They have nice shades to choose from too.
Swatches
Shade Description:
Deep Plum: Matte purple. This is my favorite.
I even did an EOTD using this. Click here for tutorial of this look. Here is the picture: Metal Blue: Grayish Navy Blue.. This has a slight hint of green too.. I find the color very unique.. Perfect for smokey eyes.
Bronze Glow: Shimmery Bronze color. This can add glow to a natural look.
Pink Diamond: Shimmery light pink. this brightens my under eye and I also use this on the inner corners of my eye. However, the color is not that pigmented. I hope they can do a matte peach eyeliner.
This comes with a smudger but I do not find this useful at all.

In2It Oil Control and Oil Free
2 way foundation, Extra Cover
SPF 25 UVA/UB
I have been obsessed with powder foundation/ 2 way foundation ever since my addiction for makeup began. I have tried a lot and I finally found my HG. Yes, I can say that this foundation is HG material. I have already used up 6 pans for a period of 3 years or so.. I use this everyday and also on special occasions. This never failed me..<3
What I love about this Product:
- It has a great coverage. It is very buildable. I can use this without concealer too during my lazy days. As mentioned earlier, I can use this every day, for touch ups, for special occasions too.. If I want a heavy coverage. I use this over MAC Studiofix liquid foundation. You can apply this by using a wet sponge for more heavy coverage, I have not tried this though.
- It gives me that smooth and flawless finish.
- I have super dry skin but this never highlighted my dry skin. This blends into my skin very well.
- It stays longer than most powder foundation I have tried.
- I found my perfect shade!! That's a plus point for me. I have always been ranting on the limited shades some cosmetic company offers. They are either way too orange or pink for my medium yellow toned skin. For reference , I am NC 37. I found out that Asian brands offer the best color selection that suits my skin. With In2it foundation, I never look ghostly or pale.
- It has SPF 25. No white cast at all in pictures.
- I love that it offers refill.Refill costs 439.75 pesos. They also have a pink case worth 650.00 and they also offer the sheer version of this product for normal-dry skin in a blue compact. But i love coverage so I chose this one instead.
- It comes with a great sponge. It spreads the product evenly with their sponge. No rubbery feel at all. They also sell their sponge individually, I think it costs 100 pesos or more.
- I experience no break outs using this.
- Very affordable too and available at leading malls.
What I hate about it?
NONE AT ALL!!!
This product is L-O-V-E
