MAC RiRi Hearts MAC Powder Blush Duo in Hibiscus Kiss




The bronzer is a matte bronze and I am so totally in love with it!! It has great pigmentation, blends smoothly on the skin and looks natural for a fair skin tone like me. It's buildable as well so you can get soft glow or an intense bronzed look. I am never a fan of bronzer but this is by far one of the best, most natural-looking bronzer I have.

The blush on the other hand is a bright, coral pink with a slight sheen to it. It's a beautiful shade  that looks lovely on the skin but the blush's pigmentation wasn't as good as the bronzer but it's buildable too. I do believe MAC's blushers are always pigmented but this one does not have an amazing pigmentation but it's good for those who want to have that natural blush and glowy look.

I can't remember how much I bought this but it is probably around the $40 range.

Farmasi Color Cosmetics Review

Hello! Hello! Finally I have the time to blog about Farmasi Color Cosmetics. This was supposed to be up on my previous blog which is www.vanitycouture.onsugar.com last week but I have been super busy and onsugar is giving me so many problems, I've decided to switch to using blogspot instead!

This is more to a review blog and also to talk a bit about FCC. For intro, Farmasi originated from Istanbul, Turkey is one of the Halal cosmetics in the market. As far as I know, Farmasi is the only Halal cosmetic that has Halal ingredients in it and also a certificate to prove that all products are Halal. 

The person franchising this brand called it FCC Singapore and FCC does not contain any lead and/or pig oil or any other ingredients that contain pig which certain makeup products do. I myself am not sure which makeup brand has such ingredients but perhaps a little research will clear your doubts(s). Now let's get into the review part!

I personally wanted to try the CC Cream hence I got myself the CC Cream, True Color Lipstick N0.3, Advanced Styling Mascara and also the Makeup Remover Wipes. 


 

I got myself the CC Cream and it is by far the popular product that most people will get their hands on including me! I got the medium to dark shade and I find that this is quite light on my skin but somehow it blends well and matches my skin tone after blending the product on my face.


                                

The coverage is sheer to medium. More products applied will give a better coverage but since I do not need that much coverage (for those who knows me will know why), I applied a thin layer of the CC Cream on my face and blend it using my foundation brush. 

The CC Cream absorbs well to the skin so it doesn't look cakey on your face. The texture is very light and is very moist so it takes a while for the product to oxidise since it appears quite sheer on your face. For the lasting hours, truthfully, this lasts throughout the whole day for me and I still look good at the end of the day. 

I apply ONLY CC Cream onto my face without having to use any powder etc to make it last longer. Well you can do so but for me I do not need to. I like the light coverage as it is as it looks natural like as though you have no makeup on. I will recommend the CC Cream for those who wish to try to apply something light on your face that does not feel cakey and also want a light coverage.It also contains SPF 25 so not only does it gives coverage but protects your skin from the sun.



This is the before and after picture when the Advanced Styling Mascara is applied. Just for reviews I will go to such extend to show my readers how wonders does the mascara do to my lashes. Hehe.. I naturally have short and non-curvy lashes as you can see from the above picture. 

The Advanced Styling Mascara gives a more natural look which what I love the most about mascaras. I like getting mascaras with small wands and fanned type of wand application. I call it a fan but yeah.. I may get it all wrong but you can see from the picture as to what I mean. Haha.. The mascara somehow thickens and lengthens my lashes yet still make it look as natural as possible. 

Also, the mascara is non-waterproof so it's easy to be removed with any makeup wipes but takes time to dry after being applied. 




Lastly, the True Color Lipstick N0.3 is a matte finish lipstick but when applied, it looks sheer and kind of feels a bit soft on the lips when applied. It looks sheer here like as though I have applied gloss but I did not. The lipstick has an amazing texture and although it is a matte finish, it does not feel dry on my lip. 

It can last for a few hours which is amazing and the color is very pigmented.


Finally, the end of my review and this is the after picture when everything is applied on my face except for the brows and blush. They're not from FCC. Look at how amazing the CC Cream does to my face. I totally forgot to do a before and after applying the cream but will do so perhaps on my next blog. 

So ladies, if you wish to get any of the FCC product(s), do "LIKE" their page and you can order directly from there! Once again, thank you for reading. Toodles~~
