Pinkies Collections Single Eyeshadow in Salmon

 Hey dears!

Just a quick swatch post again!

I bought this very affordable single eyeshadow that I'm actually using as a blush!

 Pinkies Collections Single Eyeshadow in Salmon

Bought it during my trip to Cebu where I first bought some items from the brand. The SA's there were super friendly and even gave me a free case.

It was originally cased on a plastic packaging with only the pan.

One eyeshadow is Php 70.00.

Labeled on the packaging are the production and expiration dates. 

Here's a closeup of the eyeshadow.

Have I mentioned that my favorite color is salmon pink? :)

Here's a swatch on my arm.

It's quite pigmented but a bit powdery. I barely use it on my eyes lately because I use it more as a blush!

Just look how pretty it is on my cheeks!

I just love this shade!

So what do you think of Pinkies Collections' Eyeshadow in Salmon?

Would you rather use it as an eyeshadow or a blush as well?

Cheers!

Pinkies Collections Makeup Base

Hi guys! :)

Do you use Makeup bases?

I use one everytime I put makeup since I have oily skin and it helps a lot for my makeup to stay on my skin for a longer period of time.

So when I was at the Pinkies Swear Booth at Watsons, Ayala Center, Cebu, I bought one since the SA told me it was their best seller.

So for today's post, a short review on...

Pinkies Collections Makeup Base

This 115ml bottle is only Php199.00.

It's packaged in a cute pink salmon box which attracted me to the stall since I just love that color!

Here is a list of ingredients as labeled on the box:

This was new to me when I bought this. All I know for now is that it is a sister company of the local brand, James Cooper.

So on to the review...

I use this after I have cleansed, toned and moisturized my face and before I put on my foundation and other makeup.

You only need about a pea size of this and you can spread it throughout your face. It has a semi-light consistency and has a milky color. But it doesn't leave any color on your face. It dries and gets absorbed by skin fast so you can proceed on applying makeup in a jiffy.

If you have good skin and you don't put much product on your face, like my friend who I test-ran it with, then this is a good makeup base for you. It really does prolong the lasting power of your makeup.

But if you are like me who uses layers of products such as BB Cream, foundation, concealer, loose powder, etc. (curse you bad skin!!!) and have oily skin, then you might not like this. It actually makes my makeup cake and also produces creases in inner corners of my face. It also tends to make my skin oil faster than usual.

So would I buy this again?
No. Because this does not suit my skin and the way I apply my makeup. It doesn't work well as a makeup base on me. But this is probably good enough for those who are on a budget and use light makeup and have dry to normal skin.

Have you tried this product yet?
What do you think of Pinkies Collections Makeup Base?
