Dazzle Me Get a Grip! Makeup Setting Spray

Hello loves!

It's always great to discover new brand out there, specially those who offer quality products at affordable prices!

So a couple of weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to try products from Dazzle Me. I was not aware of this product so I did a quick search and noticed that there are social media accounts of this brand but mostly in Asia. It seems fairly new too. I asked their representative and I learned that Dazzle Me was conceptualized, designed, and formulated in Los Angeles back in 2022 and it made its way to the Philippines in 2022 also!

I'm now intrigued and I was very excited to try their products. The first one I tried (and was looking forward to trying out) is the...

Haul from Nature Republic and Their Mid-Year Promo

Happy weekend guys!

I'm sure most of you will be a happy shopper for the rest of the week since almost every brand is having their mid-year sale!

I grabbed the opportunity to get some awesome deals from Nature Republic yesterday. They have this on-going promo on their selected items wherein you can buy one and get another for free provided the free one is of lesser price.

They have dozens of products included in the promo. I wasn't able to take note of the items though (I was quite tired and it was already 9pm then).

So anyway, here are the items I bought!

I actually bought stuff that I don't immediately need. They are still sitting pretty in my closet—not yet opened. Haha! But will do reviews and swatches once I finish up some of my old products. :P

So here are the individual pics of the products with their prices:

Nature Republic Collagen HD Makeup Fixer - Php 495.00

This isn't included in the sale. I am just starting to try out different makeup fixers. You know, experiments here and there... which I think is the best way to find what is the most effective for you. But the process can be a bit pricey. LOL

Nature Republic Magic Remover Makeup Gel - Php 295.00

Also not included in the promo. Also just experimenting with other makeup removers. This is my first gel type. :P

And the only two items from the promo that I bought:

Nature Republic Pumpkin in a Raw Scrub Massage - Php 385.00

This is a scrub mask in a really cute packaging. I love the smell too which I wasn't expecting since... well... it's pumpkin! :P

Nature Republic Collagen Pop Gloss in 02 Sugar Candy - Free because of the promo but its regular price is Php 285.00.

I think the promo is really good since you get to pick what item you get as free. And if I had the money, I would have gotten more... especially the skin care products.

And oh! I get to take home these little bottled samples as GWP. I love shopping at Korean Stores because of the free stuff you get even if you didn't buy really expensive stuff. Haha!

That's all for this haul post! Hopefully I get some extra income so that I can take advantage of the mid-year sale. I still wanna go shopping for new clothes and more makeup! Haha!

Cheers,

Double Review : Krave Cosmeceuticals Oil Eliminator and Misty Pritz

Hi loves!

Today I shall be sharing with you a double review of products from Krave.

I reviewed both products in the same post since I use them together and I've been using these two for almost a month now...

These products are...

 Krave Cosmeceuticals Oil Eliminator 

and 

Krave Cosmeceutical Misty Pritz

I got these using the GC Krave gave me during their first anniversary event a few months back.

First, let's go to the Oil Eliminator...

I believe this is the new packaging... It looks classy and the puff is very soft. It gives off the right amount of product that should be applied. Only thing I didn't like is that since you have to use it directly to skin, it can get kinda unhygienic since I don't think the puff can be taken off for washing.

Here are pics of the box at each side:

Most of the important descriptions are already there. I like that they made the box look classy and all but the label is quite hard to read. I guess I notice this things since I'm an advertising arts graduate and took up 2 courses of package design. I guess they need to find a better printing partner or a better material to print on. :P

So here's what's labeled on the bottom:

So let's go to the review:

This is worth Php520.00.

Here's the product on my arm:

The powder is very fine and smooth. Easy to blend on skin. It is odorless too which I like.

But be careful on how much product you put on because it can still leave your face kinda whitish. See what happens to my arm when I try to blend the product.

Here's my face with my usual makeup...

and here is my face when I apply the oil eliminator.

It lessened the shine, gave my face a matte finish and it did minimize the appearance of my annoying large pores. So yayy! But it didn't really control the shine of my face for 12 hours long. I got super oily already in a matter of 4 to 5 hours. Longer than usual since I really do have oily skin.

So that's where the Misty Pritz come in...

I've been looking for an affordable Setting spray and I was glad to see that Krave offers one and it's just for Php 450.00.

Here are the labels on the box...

Just like my thoughts on the box of the oil eliminator, the printing is kinda bad. 

Here's what's on the back. Now this is much, much more readable! 

This is a spray bottle and in just 2 sprays, you can get the product around your face already.

The product is also odorless, colorless and easily dries up on your face. It get's absorbed by the skin quite fast. I feel refreshed when I spray this. I would bring this in my kikay kit but the bottle is too heavy.

I don't know if this does anything to makeups such as eyeliner/ mascaras that aren't waterproof but just to be safe, make sure that you spray it at least 10 inches away from your face.

So let's see how the combo of the oil eliminator and the Misty Pritz work on me by challenging myself not to retouch nor even blot the oil off my face while I was out of the house for 7 hours.

Before and after 7 hours pictures

As you can see in the pictures, I'm still oily and shiny as usual. I got all oily/shiny in 4 to 5 hours. But what I like is that my makeup didn't cake and I didn't experience any smudging from my eyeliners/mascaras that usually happens when my face gets too oily.

And these products never gave me skin irritations nor breakouts which is great. These two might also take you a while to finish them off since a little amount goes a long way.

So that's all for my double review. What are your thoughts on these two?
Have you tried them? What Krave Products do you like? :)


Cheers!
