YT Guru for a day: My face routine

So, I saw makeupvideosandmore's holiday contest video and i decided that I should give it a try.

Here's my foundation routine ( if I'm not late for school. LOL)

Start with toning my face with Eskinol Whitening Facial Cleanser.

Followed by priming and moisturizing the skin with Garnier Light Complete. I also use this is an eyeshadow primer. :)

then start applying the foundation. Here I am using Avon matte mouse foundation in Almond

Conceal blemishes and under eye circles. Here, I am using Ever Bilena's Studio Finish Stick Foundation in Miel

Seal it all in with a powder.

On to the blush, I am using Nichido cheek mouse blush in Pink Champagne and on top of it is Nichido Powder Blush in Sunkissed.

On to the eyes, I use shimmer eyeshadow to add sparkle and winged eyeliner for that defined look.

Add whiteyeliner on the water line for that dolly look.

On to the lips, prime lips with lipbalm and add lip color. In here, I used Chapstick Classic and Avon Ultra Colour lipstick in mellow magenta.

The final look....

Lessons learned:

1. Its not easy to do beauty videos on YT. I salute all beauty gurus out there!
2. Its hard to edit.LOL
3. I appreciate beauty gurus more for they put lots of effort to share their knowledge to us.

Here is the video version. Don't laugh okay? its my first time. LOL

GARNIER: Light Complete Multi - action whitening cream

Hi everyone! I am back with a product review. By the looks of the title above I am reviewing Garnier's Multi- action whitening cream.

I am recovering from a bad break- out the whole month of September and I am desperately in need of products that will remove the traces of dark spots due to pimple break- out.

By the way, the product that broke me out is the new activated carbon facial foam of Pond's.

It was raved about so I decided to try it. Unfortunately, my skin does not like it. So much for my Pond's skin routine.

Anyhooo, back to the subject. Since I believe that my skin does not want Pond's product into my life, I decided I will try GARNIER. They are well known for their skin line so might as well give it a try.

So, I bought the 20 ml pack (refer to the picture above) after debating with my mom that I like to try the sachet version first but she talked me in buying this version. What the heck, she is the one paying so, why not right?

I've been using this for 3 weeks now and here are my thoughts:

PROS:

• It does control my oily face (8hr shine- free look according to the packaging)
• It lightened my dark spots and acne marks but it is still visible.
• affordable. (the sachets costs Php20 for 3 packs coz their having a promo I think. 20ml costs around Php 60-70 I'm not quite sure)
• acts as a good eye shadow primer, too! Since I can not afford yet UDPP, I got creative one day and I used as a primer and my shadows did not crease for the entire day. surprisingly amazing!
• multi- purpose white cream. With this, you can combine all the steps in your routine with just one step.

CONS:

• At first, my skin looks super dry. I guess that was my face adjusting to the product.
• My powder foundation was difficult to blend when I use it with this product but I don't mind. As long that my skin is matte I am happy with it.

My rating: 4/5

Overall, I am really liking this product and with the prize like that it's very good. I hope you friends can try.

xoxo,

PaolaEs.
