REVIEW: Snoe Shoo-Zit Dont Bother Me! Wash Away Those Zits Deep Cleansing Acne Wash

Heeeey! I won't be making excuses of why I was absent for the month of May -- I've been lazy and depressed hahaha. So , let's just jump to the review of my current favorite face wash.
Snoe Shoo-Zit Dont Bother Me! 
Wash Away Those Zits Deep Cleansing Acne Wash
Price: 349php (100ml)
Bought from: Snoe stall at the BDJ BOX Fair

I have been suffering from super nasty breakouts and I was searching for a good cleanser to use. Before using this Snoe product, I have been using the Shiseido cleanser from my February BDJ Box and it really worked for me but I didn't have the resources (a.k.a. moolah, I'm so broke OTL) to get another one so I landed with the Snoe Wash Away Those Zits Cleanser. It's not that expensive and I really wanted to try a Snoe product (proud Pinoy!). 

Here's a description of the product from its box. 

Ingredients and other Information

I've been using this face wash for a couple of weeks now (probably about 2 months already) and I'm about to finish it hihih. It has a gel-ish liquid consistency and it doesn't foam a lot when I use it on my face. I usually wet my face first to get the amount of suds I want from the cleanser and I feel like my face is cleaner that way. Also, I use this every morning and night since I got it.

What I like about this product:
  • It is very easy to use with a pump to get the product out.
  • I can use it for a long time (2 months and counting) since I only need about 3-4 pumps per use.
  • It WORKS! I have experienced fewer episodes of pimple breakout since I've used it. I still get pimples from time to time especially before and during "that time of the month" (my hormones become crazy b*****s at these times, ugh) but whenever I do, it will all dry up after 2-3 days (of course, with the help of another snoe product which I will make a review on another post).
  • It has a distinctive smell, at first I thought it's a little funky but I got used to it and I'm loving it now! ♥
  • It's only 349php!!! 
What I don't like about this product:
  • Maybe it's just me but I like cleaning my face with a lot of suds and I have a hard time getting the amount of suds I like from this product. So, as mentioned above, I wet my face first (as in tsunami wet, I needed to splash a lot of water to my face first) before using the face wash and voila! I get my suds and I'm happy! hahahaha
Overall, I LOVE it!!!! I am giving it a 4.5/5 score! I recommend this product to girls (or guys) who have acne problems like me! I hope it works for you too just as it worked for me!

You can buy this product on all Snoe outlets and stores or online at SnoeBeauty. :)

I'll be buying another bottle of this soon! heheh How about you guys?  What facial cleansers do you use? I'd like to know especially the ones effective on acne hihihih Thanks! :D

REVIEW: L'Oréal Magic Smooth Soufflé

Heeey! I'm back! hihihi

I have been using this product for a while now but recently I only seldom use it since it's soo hot, I usually prefer my Lioele BB Cream when I go out.

Anyway, today I'm going to talk about my L'Oréal Magic Smooth Soufflé. This was given by my aunt to my mom but I asked both of them if I can have it instead hohohohoh. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's available locally but I've done my research and it would have cost about 650php ($15.95) or higher if it we're sold here. 

 L'Oréal Magic Smooth Soufflé in Nude Beige

"Every stunning look begins with a gorgeous foundation. L’Oréal’s Magic Smooth™ Soufflé creates a flawless, silky, even-toned finish. Apply it daily to achieve smooth, poreless perfection. Available in a wide range of tones, Magic Smooth™ Soufflé is versatile enough to beautify every skin type."

First off, this foundation is air-whipped, I was actually surprised when I first opened it since it was the first time for me to encounter a foundation which is not as "liquid" as the usual ones. It promises to be lightweight and with breathable coverage. 


It has a grainy texture which you will see more in the following photos. Here are my swatches, a bit blurry though, I'm having trouble steadying the camera with only one hand, I'm sorry OTL haha. I did not edit the following photos except adding my cute(haha self-proclaimed :P) watermark. 

I've used a spatula to get the product from the pot since I think it'll prevent bacterial contamination more instead of using my fingers. The grainy texture is more visible here, right?

Even though it has a grainy texture at first, it blends easily on my hands and face. At first I thought it'd be hard for me to use but it was really easy, definitely noob-friendly. :)



IN-DEPTH

Applying it was really easy for me especially while using a brush to blend it on my face. I haven't tried using my fingers to apply it because I don't like how it feels in my fingers after hehehe. It actually provided a lot of coverage on my face since I have a lot of post-acne marks right now.


This is how I looked like with just the foundation on (with primer). There are still some spots which are not covered but those were the really dark or bumpy ones on my forehead, so I think this foundation still aced my coverage test. By the way, I did not use any concealer on this photo, I just put on another layer of the foundation on my problem spots especially on my eyebags and scars.


Then I just added the rest of my makeup to add color to my face hehehe.

I have used the foundation both indoors and outdoors to test it out. On both times, I felt oily on my T-zone area after a few hours and I needed to re-apply a powder to stop the oil-fest on my T-zone. BUT! I can say that it had done a great job on my cheeks. Even after hours of wearing it, my cheeks felt smooth and supple. So I'd probably recommend this to people with normal to dry skin because I think this would be an awesome foundation for them. I think it can still be used by people with oily skin since we can just apply powder from time to time because even when it felt oily for me, my face still looked okay. It wasn't shiny, it just felt oily and I have an oil-blotting sheet for that hehehe. 

Anyway, this is one awesome foundation and I think I'd probably use it more during cosplays since it really has a good coverage and it looks good in photos hehehe. 

Things I love about the L'Oréal Magic Smooth Soufflé:
  • It's noob-friendly as it's easy to blend especially since I'm using a brush to blend it.
  • It only takes a little amount to use on my entire face and neck.
  • I can skip on concealers with this because I can just add another layer on top of my problem marks.
  • It feels awesome on my cheeks, seriously!! I cannot emphasize it more! hahah
  • It's relatively cheap if it's available locally (I will research on this and find out and update this hehe)
  • I haven't experienced any break-outs from using this (which is AWESOME!)

However, I do have a list of the things I don't like with this foundation:
  • It's in a pot and I needed to use a spatula to get it out.
  • It gets kind of messy when I use the spatula hehe.
  • It doesn't have SPF and I don't like putting so much on my face so I tend to skip on my sunscreen when there's SPF on the product already.
  • It's a little heavy with its glass container and it might be hard to travel with it.
Overall, I'd give this product a 4/5 score and as the product promised, I can say that it is light-weight and has a breathable coverage. Thumbs up! :)

And because I'm feeling vain and I'm loving this new camera app with awesome filters, here's another photo of me hehehehhe

REVIEW: Lioele WaterDrop BB Cream

I love BB Creams! It's easy to use and totally lazy-friendly hehehe.

Anyway, here's a review of the BB cream I'm currently using and for now, my most loved BB Cream hihih. Since I started obsessing about makeup, I have tried five six (including this one) BB Creams from different brands and I never managed to finish all of them (except my first one) since they just don't live up to my expectations.

This BB Cream, on the other hand, is awesome! 

Lioele is a Korean cosmetics brand which started in 2003 and is now making its mark in the beauty market. I learned about this brand from Jen of From Head to Toe. (She's my ultimate beauty idol. hihih). The brand isn't available in boutiques locally yet but there are already distributors here in the country -- there's a number of mall outlets and official online sellers already. If you're interested, you can check out LioelePH's site. I bought mine from Zalora though.  


Here's a preview of the product from LioelePH's site:

Anyway, I love love this product. My face feels extra smooth after application and it is also refreshing especially on hot days. It feels like I'm not wearing any makeup at all. Its light, its cool and hydrates my skin too!


Note that I have the older packaging version of the product. I recently found out that it has been redesigned. So, to not confuse you guys, here's a photo of both versions.

A closer look..


Lioele's WaterDrop BB Cream comes in only one shade. I was actually a bit hesitant in buying the product but decided to go against my doubts instead. Good thing I did though because this one's a keeper! hehehe


It easily blends with my skin and adapts the right shade for my face. 


As stated from the above preview, it forms water drops while you're blending it. The small white spots in the photo are actual water drops formed while I was blending it on the back of my hand.


And when I was done blending, my skin was instantly smoother. I love the feeling of a powdery finish when I'm done and it lasts long too. I was able to commute (bus --> lrt under the heat of the sun) to class, stay for 3-hours in an air-conditioned room and go back with my face still feeling smooth even when I got home that night. It has SPF 27 and has a good coverage too -- it covered a lot of my blemishes (and everybody knows that I have a lot of that! haha), although not entirely (but that's asking for too much hihih) and after a few hours, the coverage has diminished compared to when I first applied it. Anyway, for this product, my score is a 4.5/5. I wanted to post a photo of me with the product on but I wasn't able to do it -- I'll try to post one as soon as I can! :) 

I'm planning to buy more Lioele products soon. I think I'll post a Lioele to-buy-list next time hihihih. I promise another blog post by next week -- I'm planning to make this atleast a weekly thing hihih.
