When I went to a Clarins store to buy a toning lotion, the product consultant was very nice to introduce me to their other product line. Since I've loved the toning lotion from Clarins, my thought was why not give the other products a try. 

But I didn't want to splurge on that instant as we know that Clarins don't come cheap. The lady was very nice and generous to give me a few of their samples.

The first time I tried the UV Plus Day Screen SPF 40 - I was very happy with the result! I never usually leave the house without a liquid foundation on as I'm very conscious with my skin. But as I write this blog away from home - I'm not wearing a foundation at all. It helps brighten my skin and make it looks smoother. 
 

The product is so light and the best part is it doesn't make my skin oily during and after application, unlike any other sunscreen that I've tried before. This product promises triple protection against UVA-UVB rays, free radicals, and pollution too! It has an SPF 40 and comes in three tints - clear, beige, and pink. I've chosen the pink tint as I thought that it'll be redundant to choose the beige as I'm already using a liquid foundation. But on a later part, my Sisley foundation is been sitting on my dresser for a while as I feel that the UV Plus Day Screen gives me a smooth complexion even without wearing the makeup.

A 30ml bottle will cost you S$74 but it can go a long way. As beauty experts always say - a sunscreen is always a must!

I've been reading good reviews about this product and decided to give it a try. I would consider this  a luxury item as it cost me SGD 142 for a 30 ml bottle of a liquid foundation.

The first time I tried it, the texture and feel are very different from the previous products I've used. This liquid foundation is so light that you won't even feel you're wearing a make up. I normally have this heavy and cakey feel in the morning just right after applying a foundation, but Sisley has a very opposite feel. 

Although I can't approve much about it's coverage, I can just go and apply as much as I want to have enough coverage on my blemishes, and still wouldn't feel cakey. It has a light scent as well that I like.

I don't get an oily skin at the end of the day. I tried applying this though without a moisturizer underneath and my skin looked dry, so may I suggest that you should be able to keep a good moisturizer that goes along good with this makeup.

The only flaw I see on this product is the pump bottle. I just can't control how much foundation I want to pump out of the bottle, as it always gives you too much in one pump.

Update: One week after using this make up, I find it a perfect match with GNC's moisturizing cream and the make up give's me a natural looking glow. It stays put even at the end of the day and the oiliness is just natural looking and I don't even need to use an oil-blotting paper.

30 ml bottle

My first post should go of course to my favorite makeup brand, Clinique. 

I don't have a very good skin that I can flaunt without makeup, that is why I'm always in search of the best foundation to cover my blemishes. I have tried Clinique Superfit makeup, Clinique Derma White C, and now I tried Clinique Even Better

Ever since I had work and was able to afford my own makeup, I chose clinique as my staple makeup brand. Luckily, my elder sister used to be fond of clinique products so I had several free trials from her collection. 

Clinique Even Better liquid foundation promises an improved clarity on your skin, visibly diminished aged spots, and a more even skin tone. It has an SPF 15 so you don't have to worry on applying a separate protection against the sun. This foundation works perfectly on hiding my acne scars. Although it gives me a heavy feeling in the morning, the time I normally apply it on my face, it blends perfectly at midday suitably to my natural complexion, so it doesn't really seem you're wearing a foundation at all.

One bottle can lasts up to 4 to 6 months' use depends on how often you wear it. The bottle is made of plastic tube that you can squeeze easily out of the bottle's mouth. 

One bottle cost me SGD52. Overall, it wasn't able to give me its promise. I didn't have clearer skin after repeated use and my acne scars are still as visible as they were before using this product. Though I should give this product its credit for its coverage purpose.
