First Impression on Maybelline FIT Me Collection + Swatches

We’ve asked for it, and now they’re here. Maybelline Fit me! is finally here in thePhilippines! I was lucky enough to be part of the squad who gets to see and try the FitMe! collection. While I don’t have the whole range of the 10 available shades of the foundation, I have here the swatches of FitMe! Matte+Poreless Liquid Foundation, FitMe! Stick Foundation, FitMe! Pressed Powder, and Fit Me Concealer. 
Let’s start with FitMe! Matte+Poreless Liquid Foundation – Price: Php399.00
I’m shade #238 Rich Tan. As its name says, this foundation has indeed matte finish, but not matte matte if I may say so. There’s actually dewiness in it that gives this slight glow-y effect. The coverage is medium to heavy depending on the amount you’ll apply and is easily blendable. My skin has become oily (probably due to the weather) and did I mention that I am acidic? No? Now I did. LOL So, if you are acidic like moi, and is interested to try this foundation, you may want to consider getting one that is two shades lighter because this one oxidizes that much. Or maybe it’s just in my case. Consider it still. As for its longevity, I’d say it is average, perhaps 4-5 hours wear time. Again, this may vary from skin type to skin type.

Next is FitMe! Stick Foundation – Price: Php399.00
I’m shade #130 Buff Beige. Now this is my favorite! Maybelline says that this is their first ever powder foundation in stick form; that’s like two-in-one product! You get to have a powder and foundation in one! And folks, their claims are 100% true. This stick foundation is matte in finish, lightweight, easy to blend, and has light to medium coverage like the liquid foundation. I like this better than the liquid foundation because I find it easier to use and blend, and is like my second skin, only better.

FitMe! Pressed Powder – Price: Php399.00
I’m shade #230 Natural Buff. I used have used this one only once or twice, I think. And during those times, I’ve noticed that it works or looks best when used alone than as a setting powder for both foundations. It gives off a nice matte finish and controls the oiliness of the skin for up to 3 hours before needing a touch ups. I’d better use this powder more so I could give better judgments. This is only my first impression, after all.

Lastly, FitMe! Concealer – Price: Php199.00
I’m shade #25 Medium. This I use almost every day due to its lightweight-ness, medium to heavy coverage that does not emphasize the dry patches along my cheeks. I also like using this concealer alone and setting it with powder during my lazy days. It instantly brightens and hides my dark circles without making it look like I am wearing a concealer at all. It gives this natural effect that which I’d love to sport during the days.


Here’s a picture of me taken by Sara Black during the launch event and sporting the FitMe! Stick Foundation, FitMe! Concealer, and FitMe! Pressed Powder.

natural finish, there’s no need to settle anymore. Find the perfect fit for you only with FitMe! by

Review: Naturactor Cover Face

 Coverage is not my main concern when buying foundation. Just as long as it is light on the skin then I’m good. Yet, I do like to try different kinds of foundations so I don’t ignore those with heavy coverage – although they’re most likely ignored. I have been hearing a lot of good things about Naturactor from my blogger friends. Yet, I still didn’t try it, until now.

A lot of makeup enthusiasts are raving for this product, and now I know why. Naturactor Cover Face can be your concealer-slash-foundation in one. It is a product of Japan and I’ve heard that many celebrities love using this too. 

 Naturactor Cover Face is packed in a small jar with screw top. It doesn’t have any design on it, just a plain white plastic packaging. You might want to be careful with this one because the container isn’t sturdy and I think that with a single drop of this, it’ll break. Also, since this is a cream type without a pump or anything to dispense the product, I suggest using a brush. Always. Well, you can use your fingers too, but it’s just unhygienic. 

 For a person who prefers using light foundation like me, Naturactor Cover Face is what we consider heavy. It feels heavy at first, then it’ll become lighter after a few minutes. It doesn’t have any scent at all and a little amount goes a long way too.

I got the shade no. 151 and it perfectly matches my skin tone. It has yellow undertone and blends well on my skin. If you are into coverage, then this is for you. Naturactor has medium to heavy coverage. It has a powdery finish and doesn’t settle in fine lines.

As I mentioned, Naturactor Cover Face is a concealer and a foundation, so if you don’t like putting too much makeup on your face then this is your guy. The staying power is not that great though. For a product with a heavy coverage the longevity isn’t that good. It stays for about 5 hours max with or without primer.


Naturactor Cover Face is a decent concealer foundation. One container can last a lifetime! Have you tried this product?

REVIEW | Krave Ultra Bright HD Concealer in Panettone

I am not the concealer type but still my skin is not perfect and needs something to conceal. I had this Krave Ultra Bright HD for half and a month now since my mom gave it to me. This is going to be a very quick review post, or most likely, pure word review. LOL

PRODUCT INFO:

NAME: Ultra bright HD Concealer
Available in 3 shades: Struffoli, Panettone & Crostata
PRICE: Php580
WHERE to BUY: Krave Minerale

•PACKAGING: The concealer comes in a lipstick type packaging. The design is quite good but feels a bit like plastic, but I don't mind. This is one of the newest line of Krave and base on their previous packaging, I'd say that they did improved on this aspects. 


•SWATCH & VERDICT: They say that when choosing the right shade of concealer, you must consider the one that is one-shade lighter on your skin tone. Good thing that my mom picked the middle shade, Panettone, although its not quite the right shade as it really is close to my skin tone. kkkk~. This shade has a yellow undertone. The texture of Ultra Bright HD is thick & creamy. It is easy to blend either you use a brush or fingers to apply the concealer. 

I'd say that it did a pretty good job concealing the redness around my nose & those tiny few scars on my cheeks. The coverage is light-medium, tbh, I tried using this concealer as foundation (that is why it's almost empty now) and well.. I did not disappoint me. It stays on my face with maximum time of 5 hours without caking, flaking or whatsoever. The finish is semi-matte and doesn't have any scent at all. Though the fact that it creases makes it not so perfect concealer.

So if you are looking for a affordable yet good quality concealer, this Ultra bright HD is it. This one is made of mineral ingredients, so that's another point to consider why this one is worth the try. :)
