RMK - Creamy Foundation in 102

Of all expensive liquid / cream foundation I've ever tried, this one from RMK is the WORST. I thought that it's going to be the best substitute for my Cle De Peau Cream Foundation since it's too expensive but unfortunately, it's not.

I got this a month ago from Facess, Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui for HKD 340, 30g.

I tried to make myself fall in love with this cream foundation from RMK but unfortunately, I really can't... First, I got the wrong color. Second, the texture is not smooth to my skin. Third, it's hard to contour and spread all over my face using my MAC 190 brush. And fourth, my face gets oily that fast. And even though I retouch from time to time, it is still as oily as it is once it starts to get oily.

I don't like this cream foundation from RMK at all, I hope I can find a good home for this because it's too expensive! Not a good buy.. Uh-Oh!!!!

MAC - Blush Ombre from the Spring Colour Forecast 2010

I love these powder blushes from MAC. It was released this Spring for their Spring Colour Forecast Collection.

Actually, they have four from this collection but I only bought 3. Azalea Blossom, Ripe Peach and Vintage Grape. I didn't buy the other one because the color doesn't suit me. It is a yellowish color, which is perfect if you're trying to achieve a nude / bronzy look.

As I have mentioned from my previous blogs, I love MAC's powder blushes. And this is no exception to that. In fact, this is better than the normal ones.

Why? Well, the fact that they are bigger than the normal one makes it longer to finish. It comes in a bigger packaging, the one that are used for the pressed powder compacts. Plus, it comes in two different migrating colors making it more natural when applied.

It is quite in demand this spring, in fact, some MAC shops / counters were already sold out of this item. I got mine reserved from MAC Harbour City in Facess (thanks to that helpful and friendly sales lady who helped me reserve!) I got my hands on these wonderful blushes!

My favorite is definitely the Ripe Peach, since it suits my skin color perfectly. If I wanna achieve a baby-ish look, I would definitely go on the Azalea Blossom. I think I would reserve the Vintage Grape for Fall / Winter since the color is darker than expected. Its color is like my Breath of Plum powder blush, only that it is a little bit darker.

How I wish MAC would manufacture this continuously. Take note, it is only LIMITED and it costs for HKD 210 only!

BTW, I have a photo of these blushes on my previous blog. You can find it here.

MAC - Fix+ Skin Refresher / Finishing Mist

If you want another step into your daily makeup routine, this is a perfect addition for you.

I know all about the rants and raves about this product from MAC but it doesn't really work for me, for my own opinion.

I got this as a freebie from my latest purchase from MAC and wow! It's a 30 mL sampler! I know that most MAC counters doesn't really give samples at all, but try the one in Harbour City! They give a lot of samplers and complimentary services, not to mention the staffs are really helpful and friendly!

The sales lady from MAC told me that I can use this before and after foundation to make it more long lasting than usually. I tried putting it on after my liquid foundation. It takes time to dry because it's in a "watery" form. Also, it doesn't really do anything at all for my opinion. I'm not sure with your skin type, but for me, it doesn't really help at all. It just adds another extra minutes into my daily makeup routine making it inconvenient at all. It doesn't make my makeup more lasting at all, I still need to retouch just like when I don't have it on.

One thing I love about this product is that it smells good. Its scent is very refreshing, making me want it to spray it on.

But other else than that, it doesn't help for me at all. I'll give this one a pass... I still need to search for my HG makeup sealer / spray. :)

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 in NC30

I got this as a freebie from my latest MAC purchase. I purchased my latest MAC purchase from MAC Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui. My friends here in Hong Kong said that MAC doesn't give any samplers but hey, I got a lot on that day!

Anyway, I got this in a very small tube which can be used for around 4-5 times.

There's no doubt about it, MAC's foundation has good coverages. It covers my scars very well and that's what I love about it the most. But there are some cons from this liquid foundation which gives me a reason not to buy it.

First, it's not that long staying. When I put it on, after around 3 hours, I need to retouch already. It also has the tendency to be cakey and it's very oily to be used on a hot and warm day.

Good thing I got this only as a sampler. I really appreciate samplers since it prevents you from buying wrong products for your skin. Meaning, it saves you a lot of money searching for your holy grail products.
