[ MINI REVIEW 短評] Kate Somerville – Exfolikate (磨砂系列深層磨砂護理)

這個只是早之在SEPHORA Haul, 用100 分 換的Kate Somerville – Exfolikate (磨砂系列深層磨砂護理) deluxe sample. 喜歡這種deluxe sample, 因為可以用上4,5 次. 大約會知道自己是否真的喜歡這個PRODUCT.

Thanks to Sephora 100 points perk, I got this deluxe sample of Kate Somerville – Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment. I quite love these deluxe sample as you can use it up to 4, 5 times. It gives you enough product to try thus to determine if you like this product or not.

官網說明的使用方法: 每星期使用一至兩次，早或晚皆可。先潔淨面部，在仍然濕潤時均勻地薄塗一層，以打圈手勢按摩30秒，然後靜待2分鐘，再用暖水洗淨，並輕輕拍乾便可。 請注意：本品可促進血液循環，因此可能會引致皮膚短暫變紅。敏感皮膚的敷面時間可減為1分鐘，或改用絲麗磨砂系列的溫和磨砂護理。

How to Use (by official website): AM or PM. Use once or twice a week. Apply a thin, even layer to a clean, wet face, massaging in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Leave on for up to 2 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and gently pat dry. PRECAUTIONS: This product increases circulation, which may cause the skin to flush slightly for a short time. For sensitive skin, leave on for less than one minute, or use ExfoliKate Gentle instead.

一擠出來,有點嚇倒. 因為沒有想過這個磨砂會是青綠色~! 氣味都OK, 沒有很強烈的香味. 我覺得磨砂粒子尺寸恰當, 而且質地易推. 這個雖說是深層磨砂護理, 但用後沒有繃緊, 而且磨砂粒子沒有令我覺得太abrasive. 不得了的是, 用了這個之後, 鼻頭,鼻翼的黑頭粉刺都冒出來, say hello!!!! (好可怕……) 之後, 當然是順勢清黑頭粉刺! WOW~! 整個感覺好爽!!! 我皮膚不算十分敏感, 敷了大約2分鐘都沒有不良反應. 不過, 如果擔心,先由敷1分鐘開始吧~! Overall, 對這個產品很滿意, 不過, 知道價位不太親民 (大約HK$600 / 60ML). 還是用完這個SAMPLE 再算吧~!

At first, I was scared by this funky green product. It does not contain much fragrance. I love the size of scrubbing beads, and the texture is easy to blend. Although it is “Intensive Exfoliating Treatment”, it is not abrasive nor drying. After using the products, lots of my black heads on around my nose started to coming out. It is pretty AMAZING ( and scary )! I believe this treatment helps pulling the dirty stuff out of your pores! My skin is not that sensitive, and I did not have any side effect after leaving the product on my face for 2 minutes. If you have concern, try to leave it on your face for 1 minutes first. Overall, I am pretty satisfy with this products. However this is not an affordable brand ( approx. HK$600 / 60ml). But nevermind, I would still enjoy this sample and see how things go!

[大掃除 Declutter ]底妝產品整理 ( Foundation Declutter)

上次做了指甲油整理, 算是一個好開始~! 想了很久,下一個目標應該是甚麼. 我選了底妝產品 (即所有BB CREAM, CC CREAM及 粉底液). 因為好一些,我本來都想丟掉,正好在此分享一下. 有一些是近期愛用的,正好做一下MINI REVIEW.

I have done the Nail Polish Declutter , I think I had a good start on my declutter journey! Here comes another declutter post with my Foundation which include all my BB Cream , CC Cream , and liquid foundation!! I am planning to get rid of some and its is perfect timing for this blog post~!

粉底液 - 由左至右 (Foundation – From left to right)

Rimmel wake me up foundation (SPF 15) – 103 True Ivory

Clio Kill Cover Realest Wear Moist Foundation  (SPF 35 / PA++) – 03 Linen

Dior Eclat Satin Miosture Release Statin Makeup - 200

MAC Mineralise Moisture SPF 15 Foundation (SPF 15) – NC15

Burberry Velvet Foundation – 201 Trench

我覺得自己選的粉底都沒有選對, 因此,我都是混出自己合用的顏色來用. SO FAR, 很喜歡這5 枝FOUNDATION 的感覺.

I have NO LUCK in choosing the right foundation color, sol I am mixing different foundation for daily use. So far, I love the finish and coverage of these 5 foundation~!

BB Cream - 由左至右 (BB Cream – From left to right)

Full Cover BB Cream – 02 Natural Beige

Shu Uemura BB Perfector ( SPF 30 / PA++)

Lioele triple the soloution BB Cream ( SPF 30 / PA++) – No. 3

Hanskin Primer Velvet BB Cream

Hanskin Smart Total BB Cream – No. 1

BB Cream 一向都是上面會偏白,不過都總算接受到. 有一些,已經比較舊, 要看看有沒有朋友收留. 很愛full cover 的coverage 及finish. 而其他的則沒有大感覺.

BB Cream tend to be pale / lighter skin tone. However, some of the products are pretty old. I LOVE the coverage and finish of Full Cover one, and I don't have much feeling / comment on the others.

CC Cream - 由左至右 (CC Cream – From left to right)

MAC Pre+Prime Colour Correcting (SPF 30 / PA++) - Adjust

HERA CC Cream – 01 pink beige

買過HERA 後,都知道CC CREAM 真的沒有COVERAGE, 不會很適合我. (因為有太多印要遮,要有一定的COVERAGE). 這些是會在CASUAL DAY 用, 又或者MIX FOUNDATION / BB CREAM 用.

CC Cream has NO COVERAGE at all, or not as high as I am demanding. ( Since I have too many flaws need to cover up, I demand certain coverage) I would use these during casual day or mix it with my foundation / BB cream.

總結 CONCLUSION - 送走 (TOSS / PASS ON)

Dior Eclat Satin Miosture Release Statin Makeup - 200

很少買專櫃品牌. 這個是在SASA 買的, 買回來時,覺得已經變了味. 不過, 一直都沒有退回去. ( 我覺得自己好笨….)

I rarely purchase high-end foundation. I bought this in SaSa, however, I felt it already turned bad when I purchased. (there is a strange smell from the foundation) and I was DUMP enough for not returning the product…

Lioele triple the soloution BB Cream ( SPF 30 / PA++) – No. 3  

因為看到這個很受外國YOUTUBER 歡迎就買了.不過, 我覺得顏色好像不太對, 而且這個GEL TEXTURE 好似有點怪怪的.

As lots of youtuber raved about this, I bought it to try it out. However, I kind of bought the wrong colour and I am not a big fan of its gel texture.

Hanskin Primer Velvet BB Cream & Hanskin Smart Total BB Cream – No. 1

買了一段日子,會試用一下. 如果不喜歡, 會轉贈朋友 

I would give a try of these BB cream and will pass on to my friend if I don’t like it.

HERA CC Cream – 01 pink beige

已經用光光~! 可以丟了! 詳情可以看[Empties ] 用光光 June 2015 (Part 1)

It is already emptied!! Click here to check for details  [Empties ] 用光光 June 2015 (Part 1)!

我今次掉了5 樣PRODUCT!!!!!!! ( 我本來”只有” 12 樣PRODUCT, 那差不多是一半~!!!) 真的為自己感到驕傲! YEAH! 我要努力做大掃除及整理~! (因為這樣,就可以買更多新東西了…..~~~~~)

I have 12 products and I am getting rid of 5! It is about 50% down of my collection~! I am pretty proud of myself~! Just keep it up and clear room for new products!

[ Swatch 試色圖] 外國開架Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 眼影盤

這個是SUPER DRUG 網購的戰利品! 今次要試的是和Urban Decay Naked 3 十分相似的Makeup Revolution Iconic 3. ( 我看到許多人的試色圖,都覺得很相似.) 因為我手邊沒有Urban Decay Naked 3, 所以未能比較. 不過,這個Makeup Revolution Iconic 3只是GBP 4, 好抵玩!

This is part of the Superdrug haul! This is the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 palette, which is considered as the dupe of Urban Decay Naked 3. ( if you search for the swatches, you would agree with its similarity too!) Unfortunately, I do not own the Urban Decay Naked 3, I am not able to do the comparison. Indeed, the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette is just GBP4, it is totally worth trying!

這個是玫瑰金色系的眼影, 一見到ROSE GOLD 就覺得很夢幻!一打開,見到附有一個雙頭海綿刷. (不過,我相信我永遠都不。會。用!) 左邊幾個顏色很玫瑰TONE; 右邊幾個顏色是近自然咖啡色帶點紫調. 因為怕眼腫,一直怕這種粉紅調的眼影.不過,這個眼影盤的配色很好,粉紅TONE 加上深啡色,可以減少浮腫的感覺. (根本是NAKED 3 的配色嘛….)

The Iconic 3 is a 12-colour eye shadow palette in rose gold tone. (I know Rose Gold is a THING to lots of beauty guru, so am I !) There is a duo ended sponge applicator with the palette that I do not intend to use at all. The 6 eye shadow from the left are more rosy pink tone; the remaining 6 are more in dark plum / brown shades. I am not a fan of pink / rosy eye shadows as they tend to make my eyes look puffier. However, the colour combination of this palette is a good balance of rosy shades and contour darker shades! ( It is literally the same colour of Naked 3!)

老實說,本來對這個眼影不抱太大期望. 但一上手,粉質比我想像中好. 帶閃粉的顏色都很美,很顯色, 不算太飛粉.但MATTE 色有點結塊, 不易推開. 可以看到圖中,一推已經有一塊塊, 使用時要小心. OVERALL,粉質及顯色度都不會給人一種廉價感.

I was not expect getting anything for just GBP4. The pigmentation and texture of this palette is far better than I expected! The Shimmery shades are very opaque and easy to blend. The shimmer particles are very small and delicate. The Matte shades are a bit patchy and not as opaque. You can tell there is some piece of fall out from the swatch. Extra care is needed when applying the matte shades. Overall, the texture and pigmentation is still on the nice side.

Makeup Revolution 的粉質及持久力一定不會及得上大品牌一樣BUTTERY, 但我覺得好一些開架品牌(例如KATE)都比這個好. 不過,這個價錢,即使只求顏色相似,已經很抵玩!

The texture and lasting power can hardly compared with those luxurious brand. I would say some of the drugstore brand have a better quality eye shadow too! To be frank, you cannot expect much as this price point. I would say it is already worth the price to get its colour matched with the Urban Decay Naked 3.

溫馨提示,這個眼影是中國產.如果想買的話,可能要考慮一下這個因素!

One point to note, this palette is made in PRC. This might be an important point to consider before you purchase.

[開箱 HAUL ] 英國SUPER DRUG網購 (SUPERDRUG HAUL! )

眼見快要過SHOPPING BAN, 恰巧朋友又到英國旅行.所以托朋友給我買了以下的東東. 本來是想買一枝Foundation及試一下Makeup Revolution的產品.最後,有點小失控…..

It was ALMOST the end of my shopping ban, and my friend went to London for a short trip. I asked her to help me get some stuff from superdrug. I was intended to buy ONE liquid foundation and some Makeup Revolution product. Indeed, things have gone a little bit out of control….

 (價錢是以英鎊計算 Price listed are in GBP)

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation (果療精華啫喱) #52 Vanille

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation(果療無厚持久粉) # 53 Light Beige

 當時在做promotion, 是第二件半價.所以兩枝合共是15鎊. 因為隔山買牛,所以買了兩個色號.我手邊有許多粉底都過白,如果這個太黑,可以用來調色一下~!

There was a buy one get one half off promotion; I bought two foundations for around 15GBP. Since I was not able to try the colour, I have bought 2 different shades. Since I have quite a lot foundation looks too pale on me, I can mix the foundation if it is too dark to use alone.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder Transparent 1

用過,覺得不錯.所以買多一個BACKUP!

I have one on hand and already used for a month. Quite like its finishing and lasting power. This is a backup.

Makeup Revolution - I Heart Eye Shadow Palette Death By Chocolate

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 

Makeup Revolution這個BRAND,好像很不錯.經常會出一些大品牌的DUPE.這次買的,是I Heart Eye Shadow Palette Death By Chocolate (Too Faced Chocolate Bar 的dupe) 及 Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 (Urban Decay Naked 3 的dupe).

Makeup Revolution used to release dupes of bigger makeup brand. I have bought two palettes from the collection. I Heart Eye Shadow Palette Death By Chocolate is consider the dupe of Too Face Chocolate Bar. Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 is also know as the dupe of Urban Decay Naked 3.

這個Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3, 我是室內拍攝,燈光有點不足, 要用上閃光,才比較顯出它的粉紅tone. (好美~~!)

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 is pinky / rose gold shade. I need to use flash to obtain a better colour show through the camera.

MUA Eye shadow Palette Hall of Fame

MUA Prime & Conceal Correcting Cream Solo Green 209

MUA Prime & Conceal Correcting Cream Solo Peach 247

MUA Limited Edition 5th Birthday Palette Multi 797

這基本上是一個意外,本來只想買一個眼影,試一下.之後,看到concealer, 好像都不錯~!之後,因為買滿額,所以送了一個五週年眼影盤 - MUA Limited Edition 5th Birthday Palette Multi 797.

I want to say, I was not planning to try MUA products. I was expected to buy ONE eye shadow palette. But I end up adding 2 more concealer. I got the MUA Limited Edition 5th Birthday Palette Multi 797 for FREE as it is gift with purchase.
