Clear complexion is a must in achieving any makeup look. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed to have clear complexion. I'm one of those persons since I recently got chicken pox and I'm still in the process of getting my perfect skin back. Although my face is filled with scars, I still managed to achieve a glass-skin look through cosmetic hacks. Oh and btw, here are things that I'm currently using for my scars.

I got a green color corrector since it corrects red spots and brown spots for light skin. Honestly I was supposed to get an orange corrector. Good thing the salesman suggested that I should get a green corrector since my skin is on the light side.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

L.A. Girl's HD Pro Concealer is crease-resistant with opaque coverage in a creamy, yet lightweight texture. The long-wearing formula camouflages darkness under the eyes, redness and skin imperfections. Provides complete, natural-looking coverage,evens skin tone, covers dark circles and minimizes fine lines around the eyes.

GC990 - Orange Corrector: Neutralizes dark spots for medium/deep skin tones. 
GC991 - Yellow Corrector: Neutralizes purple/blue undertones. 
GC992 - Green Corrector: Neutralizes redness. 
GC993 - Lavender Corrector: Neutralizes unwanted yellow undertones and sallowness. 
GC994 - Peach Corrector: A lighter version of our popular Orange Corrector -conceals blue/purple undertones on fair skin tones and counteracts general dullness. 
GC995 - Light Yellow Corrector: Corrects dullness caused by blue undertones and brightens under eye circles.
GC996 - Highlighter: A delicate, pearlescent finish that illuminates your face with a beautiful glow.

*Apply correctors under regular concealer to create a perfectly even complexion. Complete makeup routine by applying the Highlighter as the last step after foundation.

THE REVIEW

PACKAGING
The product comes in a 8g squeeze tube with a brush as its applicator. It's easy to control the amount of product for smooth application. The brush is similar to a paint brush but it's smooth and it helps blend the product on your skin especially on small areas.

I covered my scars with the brush applicator alone and it was all hassle-free



PRICE
PHP 315 in SM Department Store

CONSISTENCY & TEXTURE
It is a liquid concealer that isn't too thin or too thick-- just right. I blended the product using a beauty blender for perfect application. It is quite pigmented which served its purpose in color correcting the skin

After blending the green color corrector on my scars, I topped it off with a concealer in my skin's shade. I was honestly afraid that my face will turn green upon topping it off with a beige concealer. But to my surprise, it sticked to my skin covering all my imperfections. So it's a huge YAY for the product texture.

This is my skin after topping it off with a concealer. I swear that my skin looked that great using only the green color corrector and a beige concealer. Aside from the skin products, I applied light eyeshadow and lip tint.

LONGEVITY
I honestly fell asleep with makeup on considering that I took these photos in the afternoon. The morning I woke up, my brown scars were barely visible (but you can see skin-tone scars). Unlike the night that I applied it where you really can't see a scar. There were no green patches or what-nots which means the product blended well with the concealer.

SUMMARY
PROS
  • The product comes with an easy applicator brush
  • It is pigmented but not to the point where you look strange from the green color.
  • It sticks well on skin and blends well with beige concealer.
  • It lasts long. Specifically for 15 hours
  • lt covers scars well
CONS
  • It is quite pricey (PHP 315) for a 8g concealer
  • The brush somehow absorbs the product and it's quite unhygienic if you don't wash it often

THE VERDICT
For a small tube, it truly served its purpose it concealing. I do not mind the price since the concealer reached beyond my expectations. This product proved that clear complexion can still be achieved even with scars underneath.

Effective ba? --YES it is very effective.

Here's a before and after photo:

Clear skin is one of the indicators of health and beauty. Being a beauty-concious woman, I've been obsessing over maintaining my clear skin and improving its appearance through makeup. 

Unfortunately, I recently caught chickenpox from my sister which caused scars all over my face and body. It's a nightmare come true, I know. But instead of feeling bad for myself, I'd rather take action in fixing my scars and concealing it. I work a job where I have to face hundreds of people daily so looking presentable is a must!

It's actually payday today which means I can allocate part of my income for a little haul. I headed straight to SM's Department Store to get all that I need. I got 7 items that I really need and want.

1. BIO-OIL/ 60ml- PHP 495 / SM Department Store

Bio-oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin, and dehydrated skin. 

I recently read good reviews on this product so I decided to try it myself.  It sounds like the perfect product for me since I'm trying to remove scars and at the same time, avoiding stretch marks. I'm currently preggo at 17 weeks as of today with my first child. As much as possible, I still want my tummy to look firm with minimal stretch marks.

2. FASHION21 SPF50+ LOOSE POWDER/ PHP 185/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE

Before I got this, I only used pressed powder in setting my makeup which sometimes end up cakey if I don't apply it well. Now that I'm out of pressed powder, I finally got myself a jar of loose powder that would set my makeup well without caking too much.

3. ETUDE HOUSE PRECIOUS MINERAL BB CREAM/ P 748/ Etude House

I've been using Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream since high school. I try different brands but this product is the best one for my skin. If ever I run low, I would run to the nearest store to restock.


4. NICHIDO #233 EYE SHADER BRUSH/ PHP 150/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE

What's a wide makeup palette without good tools. Looking back last year, I had a complete set of brushes but I misplaced them one by one. It's about time I move on with a good brush and take care of it this time.

5. Pinkies Collections Shine Loose Powder/ PHP 299/ SM Department Store

I have a thing for highlighters. In every store that I go, I barely find a good highlighter (other than Sleek and MAC.) I was just browsing the shelves then I found this. It's actually as good as highlighter but it's a loose type of makeup. I'm still in love with it though and I can't wait to use it and achieve the glass-skin type of makeup.

6. L.A. GIRL PRO CONCEAL GREEN CORRECTOR/ PHP 315/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE

I was supposed to get the orange concealer for my scars that I went to three Watson's branches in the city but it was out of the stock and one saleslady told me that they ran out of stock in the warehouse as well. So I ended up getting the green one. Although it was a hard decision for me, I tried covering a scar with the green corrector and it works as well. So no biggie.

7. EVER BILENA BLEND ME SPONGE/ PHP 135/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE

I needed a tool to perfectly cover up my small scars all over the face. So I got a blender as well.

Although I already got what I wanted, I still have a hunch that I need more skincare products. My inner shoppaholic is tempting me but my good thrifty side is behaving. It's good that I still have control over buying things that I only need.

  1. Don't get mad. Don't get even. Do better. Rise above. Become so engulfed in your own success that you forget it ever happened.
  2. No matter how good you were together, once the other stopped choosing you, it's totally over. 
  3. It's okay to cry. But remember to pick yourself up again once you're done.
  4. Being single again gives you another chance to love yourself harder. An opportunity to dig deeper through your soul. A new beginning to find yourself.
  5. You're always worth it. Love yourself enough to never let a past love determine your worth.
  6. There's a lot more in store for you after a heartbreak. There's so much experiences, people and places waiting for you.
  7. God has better plans than what you had for yourself. Accept and let God.
  8. Once you started moving on, just keep going, and don't even take a look back.
  9. There is always a good reason why things happen. You might not see it now but you will soon.
  10. This is the perfect time to find your genuine happiness; to stop relying on someone to make you happy; to find self-fulfillment
  11. People come and go. You don't get to choose who will stay.
  12. Heartbreak gets better overtime. There's no timeline for it. Just take your pace and heal on your own.
  13. Take care of yourself. Eat well. Exercise. Meditate. 
  14. Do things you love. Especially those that you neglected when you got into a relationship.
  15. Never be afraid to try new things. New things always mean growth.
  16. Find happiness with your own company. 
  17. Take this as a chance to work hard towards your goals. 
  18. Nobody can ever replace you. You are different in your own way. You can never feel inferior once you know your own glow.
  19. Don't destroy yourself out of depression. Yes it's okay to drink once in a while for a little breather. But don't over do it. Take care of your body.
  20. You still have the rest of your life to meet thousands of amazing people.
  21. Start doing things for you. Not for your past lover or for anyone else. But for you alone.
  22. Stop thinking that something is missing in your life because there isn't. Your life is complete without depending on someone else. All you have is a wide pool of potentials.

Korean skincare products are known for its high standards. No wonder Koreans have such porcelain skin. I'm actually a huge fan of Korean skincare since it helps me achieve the perfect porcelain skin. So as I was browsing through Watson's isles, I found Seoul White Korea Double Whitening Soap and got a twin pack worth P65 just to try it.


In the packaging: Discover a new level of healthy white that touchably-soft with SEOUL WHITE WHITENING SOAP. With white strawberry infused with whitening kojic berry. Moisturizing creamy lather draws out dirt and pollution, and gently exfoliates. Helps lighten skin, dark spots, and acne marks, while leaving skin touchably soft.

Direction: Use daily on face and body. For even better results, use with Seoul White Instant White tone-up whitening milky cream.



The Review

I used the soap for a month. The twin pack lasted for almost 2 weeks so I ended up buying again to test its effectivity. Also, I used it along with Seoul White Instant White tone-up whitening milky cream for maximum results.


Packaging
The box is really appealing that it caught my attention at the shelf. The soap was smartly wrapped; where it is well-wrapped but you can easily unwrap it by pulling a portion.

Price
In Watson's- PHP60 for 90g/ PHP65 for 60g Double Pack/ PHP125 for 90g Triple Pack

Scent
It's very similar to the scent of Nestle Strawberry Yogurt.

Texture
Produces moderate foam and is smooth on skin. It does not easily melt

Effect on Skin
It's not drying compared to most whitening soaps I've tried. It actually leaves my skin very smooth even though the micropeeling is somehow visible. It gives my skin a little glow or the brightening effect. And yes, it is effective in whitening since I noticed that I'm a bit fairer even though I'm moderately out in the sun

Summary:
Pros
  • Not harsh on skin
  • Effective in whitening
  • Smells great
  • Very affordable
  • Does not melt fast in water
Cons
  • It takes weeks before you see significant results
The Verdict

Seoul White Korea Double White Whitening Soap passed the standards of exceptional Korean skincare. It's effective in whitening without drying the skin and it leaves the skin with a glowing effect. I believe that Kutis Koreana can truly be achieved with further use of this product.
