The ART of DECEPTION

Since olden times, the art of deception is vital in mere survival. Used by ninjas, samurais, Russian spies, undercover agents to name a few.

In modern times, we have too developed makeup which in itself is a deception or you can say illusion.

Why would I say that?

Well, girls who have actually used makeup often would definitely agree with me as makeup can be used as a weapon of mass destruction if applied correctly.

No one is perfect thus there is makeup to save the day. You name it, enlarging the eyes, concealing acne or enlarge pores, creating plump and fuller lips, having rosier cheeks, giving an optical illusion of more defined looking face contours and many more.

Isn’t makeup a wonderful creation to give us ladies more confidence in ourselves?

In order to further your skills in the ever-evolving high arts of deception and concealing, today I will be talking about my trust worthy buddy.

I practically stick with this though my teenage years and never grew out of love for it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Without further ado, It is none other than the:

ZA’s Concealer Perfection in tone 1

 Enough said, meet my staple everyday concealer (:

What you should know about it:

• Liquid concealer
• Squeeze tube packaging.
• Comes in 3 different skin tone colours.
• Contains vitamin E.
• Dermatologist tested.

Why I use liquid concealer rather than conventional ones?

I prefer liquid concealer as it is easy to apply and feels light weight after application. It does not appear too thick or cakey even if I layer on more for a higher coverage.

To me liquid concealers are the way to go, though I personally still use the conventional concealer if the need arises or if I find pretty decent ones as well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the ZA’s Concealer Perfection in tone 1,

The ZA’s Concealer Perfection on my hand before working it's magic.

Now you see it, now you don't. It seems like a kind of magic right?

Pros

• Beginner friendly.
• Easy to blend into skin without leaving harsh lines.
• Dries up quickly.
• Light weight.
• Non pore clogging.
• Helps covers uneven skin tone and mild redness.
• Hides dark circles and small moles.
• Excellent coverage.
• Long lasting, requires only light touches up only for my nose area in the late afternoon.
• Convenient packaging, easy and light to carry around.
• Squeeze tube packaging, reduces any form of wastage.

Cons

• If applied too much pressure from squeezing the product out from the tube, it might shoot out from the tube and dirty your clothes. Thus please be gentle with it.
• It gives emphasis on scabs or flaky skin if applied on without exfoliation. Thus please at least exfoliate your skin with a gentle scrub once in awhile.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Comments

As the ZA’s Concealer Perfection only costs $13.90 for a 9g tube, thus I will not tend to scrimp and always use it in generous amount even though only a little is required.

I love to layer on the concealer to build up the coverage for a more spot-less finish on my face.

To me I find that it is considered cheap for a concealer and it works more than what you spend on it.

love the fact that the ZA’s Concealer Perfection is a one stop concealer for all of my visible flaws like my very serious dark eye rings, redness under my nose area and occasional pimples. With this, lesser time is needed for my makeup applications.

MAD LOVES WITH IT!

The ZA’s Concealer Perfection is easy to blend with just using fingers and patting the concealer on.

The only lacking point is the boring packaging. I would prefer if they improve the visual packaging for the concealer because as it is not very eye catching, it loses it appeal to new users. Thus I personally find that it is such a pity.

My Verdict

9.5 out of 10 stars.

Will I buy it again?

DEFINITELY YES!

With its affordable pricing and being a miracle worker, I am so in love with it. This is proven by the fact that it has permanently took up a slot in my makeup pouch.

MAD LOVES WITH ZA FOR COMING OUT WITH THIS FABULOUS CONCEALER!

Girls, please go and try this out at the ZA counters to fall in love with the ZA’s Concealer Perfection too.

You will start to realize why I am so in love with it.

Till next time ^_^

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next up the,

Dress Me’s Soften and clarifying mask

Wait! The package of the Dress Me’s Soften and clarifying mask reads that it contains Natto?

OMG, Natto is actually fermented soya beans, it’s one of the leading acquired cuisine that the Japanese eats.

To my amazement, the Dress Me’s Soften and clarifying mask actually helps to soothe the redness of the cut and it seems to be in a better condition now. Though, please do not try using the mask on an open wound.

I really love how it helps soothe my existing pimples I have as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 Ultimately my thoughts on the Dress Me’s facial sheet masks,

Love how vibrant my makeup looks and how easy it is for me to apply them after using Dress Me's facial sheet masks.

I love how the Dress Me’s facial sheet masks fare with its aromatic scents.

Not forgetting that I personally did not experience any irritation with my sensitive skin.

As recently I have been feeling pretty restless, the Dress Me’s facial sheet masks have been a great pick me up to liven up my moody temperament.

Another plus point is that the essence in the Dress Me’s facial sheet mask is sufficient and does not dry off mid-way during the waiting time.

In this way, there is a longer period of time for the essence to interact with my skin.

The correct way for the facial sheet mask to be at its optimum is that it must still be half soaked upon the end of the usage.

Without any doubt, the increase suppleness and smoothness of my face that I have experience is fabulous.

It’s great for the soothing of the redness on the face and aids in the minimizing of my enlarged pores as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Girls, still contemplating on whether to give it a try?

Hesitate no longer as the Dress Me’s facial sheet masks are having a huge promotion at the moment.

Thus read on to see whether Bio-essence’s BB cream had live up to my requirements and their promises.

This is me, with a more complete look. Simply adore how smooth my face feels when I touch it.

The creamy textured Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-effect BB cream feels light on my skin and does not cause any form of allergies even though I do have sensitive skin as well.

I love the light soothing lavender scent as it really helps me to relax my tense up nerves.

The Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-effect BB cream dries up in almost an instant after application, thus lesser down time for the next step of my makeup regime.

Another plus point is that there is no need to use additional products like: sun block, mattifier, pore minimiser or even a concealer as it is a one step process.

The skin tone for the Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-effect BB cream really suits my fair skin though I was wondering how it would fare on more sun-kisses tan ladies.

With the Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-effect BB cream, my makeup lased the whole day with only light blotting of my nose area in the afternoon.

The strong coverage is what I love the most from the Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-effect BB cream as it can covers all my blemishes, redness, pimple scars and even my serious dark circles. There were times that I even forget that I have to apply concealer for the problems listed above after applying the BB cream.

The time saved from converting from traditional makeup to the use of Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-effect BB cream can always be put to better use like getting on time to work.

I am so loving the results that I witness. *cheers to Bio-essence*

First, getting to understand how about how the skin functions,

The actual cause of the accumulation of dead skin cells and clogged pores:

• Pollution and dirt lurking in the air.
• Improper removal of makeup.
• Too much makeup applied.
• Excess sebum.

Why dead skin cells are bad for our skin?

• It filters off the effectiveness of the skincare products that we apply.
• Makeup has troubling adhering properly and overall looks cakey when applying foundation.
• What happens when clogged pores are not dealt with in the proper way?
• Formation of whiteheads that eventually evolves into hard to remove blackheads.
