[Beautylicious Review]: Maybelline White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder

Its Raya week and its going to be hectic days for some of you out there. Visiting relatives and attending the "Open House" definitely requires you to have a great powder to keep you fresh, matte and look good all day long.

That is why I am so excited to share with you on this new product which just launched recently in market and its called Maybelline White Superfresh long lasting UV Cake Powder. Came in four shades to choose from, I think this powder would be your best companion especially for everyday looks.

The packaging - simple yet chic

Available in 4 shades to choose from

About the Product:

This all-new White Superfresh long lasting UV cake powder would gives you 12 hours fair matte look with fresh feeling. You can use it as the finishing touch for your face make-up, it provides long lasting matte coverage that instantly whitens and evens skin tone.

"Thanks to its unique Clean Touch Powder System, White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ leaves behind an ultra-smooth surface on your skin. The innovative system goes beyond sebum absorption; it helps to speed up sweat drying and evaporation so skin remains clean. On top of that, the Clean Touch Powder System’s Mineral Perlite content contains 5X the absorbing powder of talc, making it more effective towards sweat and sebum. With one application, White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ absorbs and entraps sweat and sebum, as well as speeds up sweat evaporation to prevent build-up. This faster drying action results in a clean touch and fresh makeup all day. You no longer need touch-ups!"

Maybelline is well known for their simple yet chic packaging. As you can see the packaging here, its made by clear base material and white finishing. As much as I like the base part but I am not that keen with its cover as it get dirty easily. Nevertheless, the packaging easily to clean - just wipe it off with the wet tissue and you are ready to go. Since that I always carry my make-up pouch, the colour from the brushes would easily stained the cover and sometimes it is bit annoying to clean it all the times.

With the sponge applicator

Now move to the powder formula. To see how great this product as it claims, I try to wear it on my most busiest day - on the first day of Raya. That was the perfect day because I was out all day long, covered with sweat and polluted air - perfect to see the outcome!

I got the 03: Natural Shade 

To choose the right shade for your skin tone for this product is very importance. When I applied with the sponge, my face appear too white. Maybe due to its brightening formula, it causes our skin appear whiter. Since that I just came back from Hanoi, and my skin turned darker than my original shade, the 03 natural shade of this product appears too white for me. So, I chosen to apply it with my powder brush.

I love using face brush when apply my powder

Result:

Using face brush to apply the formula seems perfect for me. The coverage is lighter and looks more natural. Despite of its light coverage, it does absorb the excessive oil from my face. My face appears brighter - in a good way.

After first application with the face brush - light coverage but still look natural.

We were heading to Melaka on the First Day of Raya to attended the Raya Celebration. So you can imagine how bad the traffic was. After almost 3 hours stuck on the road, finally we reached at the destination. I never touch-up my face and after 6 hours wearing it, this is the outcome:-

After 6 hours since the first application, my face still shine fee, looks brighter. Pardon my tired face.

So Beautylicious, what do you think on the result. I unable to share with you the result after 12 hours as I reached home quite late and it was a tiring day as I must say.

My Verdict:

I love it!! The price is affordable. Perfect for everyday usage and this would be my best companion!

Retails at RM22.90, this product can be purchased at the market or drugstores near you! Have a Fresh Look, Shine Free and No More Touch ups with Maybelline White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder.

Until we meet again in my next post. xoxo

Well, in Body Shop they have few ranges of beauty product from head to toes. This product is from "Moisture White™" range.is formulated with vitamin C, liquorice and shiso, some of the best natural skin brightening ingredients that nature has to offer. 

What is Shiso? Earlier I was wondering too why this product is named such.

The Body Shop® difference: At least 75% of our product range contains Community Fair Trade ingredients or accessories. Around the world, trade gives our suppliers a reliable income. It also brings benefits to their communities, such as medical care, education and sanitation.

How to use:-

- Squeeze the tube lightly until a small amount of formula appears on the Micro-Circulating Applicator.
- Massage formula into the skin around the eye area with the Micro-Circulating Applicator.
- Repeat for the other eye

The metal applicator help to ease the puffiness and also the fine lines. It works even better when the both the product and its applicator is chilled. I tried and love it since then

So, are you ready for the result? 

As you can see, the puffiness and dark circle was tremendously reduced after two weeks of usage. Not only that, it reduced my fine lines as well!!! My photo up there of course without any make-up on.

ESKAYVIE gives RADIANCE to LIFE

I am at the beginning of the 3 series and I can feel so many drastic changes to my body. Obviously I need to encounter this changes and I discovered Eskayvie – Enriched your LIFE.

Founded in 2011 Eskayvie has expanded and developed more bio-tech products with perfect formula to create a nutrition supplement that would benefit our everyday life. Recently I attended the product conference by Eskayvie personnel, Dr. Syid Ayob Syid Mustafa AlQudri whom shared with us on the one of their best health product called Redianze. The time was just perfect for me.

Dr. Syid Ayob Syid Mustafa AlQudri sharing with us the key ingredients in the Redianze and i-Qids

Why Redianze? Redianze is formulated by anti aging experts utilizing only branded high quality ingredients at their therapeutic dosage to ensure the ability to successfully achieve the intended result within a shorter time span. Consist of four (4) main ingredients:-

1/ Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides (HMCP) - is ‘the perfected’ collagen that our body needs discovered from the deep ocean. Discovered by France Scientist, Professor R.Befarr in 1996, He noticed that the deep sea fish that live in more than 2,000 meters depth in the Northern Europe Ocean, remain the skin in a smooth and firm condition despite of the high water pressure and pull force. Usually in this depth, a car will be flattened, but this deep sea fish survived as their skin is rich in a material called collagen. Professor R.Befarr comment that if this kind of Human Like collagen (the structure similar to human skin) apply in cosmetology via the orally intake and absorb by the body, this can regenerate the collagen in our body and get back the youthful skin, hopefully when reach to 40 years old still able to have 20 years old skin.

In year 1997, the first extract of collagen from the Northern Europe Ocean Fish skin in a huge quantity was carried out. The discovery of Fish collagen bring the attention to the media from Europe, America and Asian countries and many people start to consume it. Fish collagen was a hot selling in Europe, America, Japan and Korea since 2000 and so the “marine collagen” came in trend. Produced in peptide particles as it  is even smaller than acid amino for better absorption into the cell and for effective result.

Benefit from Marine Collagen

What is “Collagen”? Derived from the Greek Words, “Colla” that means glue, it has the strong fibre that weaves throughout the body cell for strength and support. It is the most abundant protein that covered approximately 75-85% of skin, muscles and connective tissues. It would give the elasticity and firmness to the skin. As we getting older, the collagen contain is also reduces. In addition to its slow production over the years, we are losing more collagen in our body and thus resulting to vary condition to our body e.g. wrinkles, arthritis, osteoarthritis and may chronic diseases.

2/ AstaREAL® P2AF – a state-of-art natural ingredient cultivated in an ultra-clean BioDome™ system in Maui, Hawaii, and photobioreactors in environmentally friendly Gustavsberg, Sweden, assuring the product to be of the highest quality, purity and consistency. Approved as a dietary supplement in the USA, Europe and Japan, AstaREAL® P2AF is also the recipient of the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation Award.

AstaREAL® P2AF is the only Anti oxident which can penetrate through our brain Barrier and protect it from Free Radicles.

3/ Vitamin C - The infamous Ascorbic Acid. It is a collagen boosting ingredient as it stimulates the fibroblast cells of the human body to produce collagen. Also an anti-oxidant, Vitamin C plays the role of cancer protecting and goes against premature aging. 

4/ Prunus Persica Extract – This element found in peach and is packed with Vitamins, fibre, antioxidants, iron and potassium much needed to improve the skin’s vitality and complexion. In addition, it gives the flavour.

It taste like orange!!

At the event itself, I tried the formula and it does taste like Vitamin C supplement but better. Came in 20 sachets per-box, it can be consumed in morning and night to boost the body needs. It retails at RM160.00.
