Monthly Favourites - July 2013

Hello

Time for another monthly favourites. These are products that I reach out often this month. Not much though.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Great for everyday! For more swatches and pictures, check my post here

M.A.C Blush in Pink Swoon
Love this blush. this gives me a rosy flush when I use it lightly. You can definitely build it up for a more intense colour.

Holika Holika Face 2 Change CC cream
My favourite cc cream at the moment. Check out my full review on this cc cream here

M.A.C Lipstick in Crème Cup
My everyday lipstick. When I just want to have that natural coloured lips, I will reach for this.

Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in No.07 Golden Black
Best black eyeliner that I have so far coz it stays on my waterline the whole day. At the end of the day, I need to use a q-tip to remove it. And the pencil is soft too so it glides on smoothly. I have another 2 colours which I love as well.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Khaki
Instead of applying black, I apply this eyeliner to give it a different look. For review swatches of this eyeliner and the other colours I have, check out my post here

Review: Holika Holika Face 2 Change CC Cream

Hello

This post will be another cc cream review. I have reviewed Etude House's cc cream here . I will be reviewing The Face Shop cc cream in another post. Hopefully with my reviews of 3 cc creams, it will help you  decide which cc creams interest/appeal/suit you better.

Retails at $39.90, it is slightly higher price than Etude's cc cream. However, Holika Holika's cc cream comes in a bundle which includes a Pure Mellow Multi Puff. I have not try the sponge yet. It is shaped like a pear. 

Packaged in a black pump tube, u will need to pump countless times prior to first use. There are 2 tones available. The BA that served me said that 01 is more of a pink based while 02 is more yellow based. I got mine in shade 02.

Contains 50ml of product, it is definitely more than Etude's cc creams which contains only 30ml. Also, Holika Holika's cc cream has a higher SPF than Etude's. ( SPF 32 vs SPF 30)

With both cc creams, they comes out white at first but adjust to a more skin colour after application.

Claims: UV protection + Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle

Left: With cc cream

Right Without cc cream

With cc cream all over face

After setting with my Chanel loose powder.

My Final Thoughts:
I love this cc cream better than my Etude's cc cream for so many reasons. Its more value for money though you pay  higher price for Holika's ( $39.90 for 50ml, free multi puff. Etude's priced at $25.90 for 30ml) Holika's provide more coverage. Adjust to skin tone much faster even before you rub it in.  It looks more of my skin tone. Finish is more natural ( not matte, not dewy). It lasted the whole day for me even after being out and about for more than 10hours. It looked the same as when I first applied it.

Have you tried this cc cream? Which is your fav? Let me know in the comments section. Look out for The Face Shop cc cream review next week!
