Review : Purederm Makeup Remover NEW version with Collagen

Hi bubblies!

How's your day?
Hope you stay fantastic! :D

If you've been reading and following my blog, maybe you will find that this Purederm makeup remover wipes have been featured in my previous post >> Find the Cheaper Alternative Makeup Remover Wipes!

And the final verdict that I gave to Purederm compare to other makeup remover wipes that I've tried is that being : 1. affordable and 2. contains good ingredients to the skin as bonuses, but a let down is might be their quality of wipes. With that being said, as much as I like their makeup remover formula, I never intend to buy another because the wipes sometimes felt too rough on my skin. >,<"

And when I saw this Purederm NEW version with Collagen at Watsons Mal Kelapa Gading on the other day, I was intrigued to try again. Well, maybe this is much more improved one?

 

Hmm.. let's see! :D

The difference in the new packaging is they added a green color, rather than just a plain silver like the previous one.

What it says : Purederm Makeup Remover Cleansing Tissue will clean the eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, blush-on even waterproof mascara without irritation to the skin. Could tighten the size of the pores. Keep skin soft, smooth, moist and fresh.

Ingredients : Water ( Aqua ), SD Alcohol, 40-B, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Polysorbate 80, Sodium Lauryl, Sulfate, Methylparaben, Allantoin, Cucumber Extract, Portulaca Extract, Camellia Sinensis Extract, Fragrance ( Parfume ), Grapefruit Seed Extract, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Citric Acid.

But most importantly, the formula is now added a collagen. And as for information >> a collagen-stimulating substance is famous to reduce wrinkles and improve the firmness of the skin, improving the appearance of the skin to make it look more youthful.

And for most of an infused collagen ingredients in any skincare, the price could be quite expensive than the regular one. ( Just like any other skincare with anti-aging formula )

The price range for this new version of Purederm is around IDR. 40000 rupiahs ( around $ 4 US Dollars ) for 20 sheets. which is yeah, a little bit higher than the previous one.

My review..

( + )

Again, I love Purederm formulation. After I use it, my skin instantly feel supple, moist and somehow it even look more radiance and lighter. Also, doesn't break me out so far. all I can see my skin is looking clean. which a HUGE plus. 

For what it says it could remove a waterproof mascara, I just think it's always not enough to only use this or any kind makeup remover wipes. I always always re-clean my lashes from waterproof mascara formula with the help of an oil base makeup remover ( >> my favorite is L'oreal Dermo Expertise GENTLE Lip and Eye Makeup Remover ).

It also has a fragrance scents, because it's infused with perfume. It's almost like a floral + cucumber scents to me. Personally, I like it and no complain about it :)

( - )

But again, a sad part is.. I can feel like the quality of the wipes is having a downfall. It feels scratchy and even poorer quality than the previous one. The wipes doesn't glides on smoothly on my skin and it was pain in the ass to drag the wipes onto my face. :(

You can see my "comparison of the wipes" with other brand through the link on the top post :)

Overall..

With sadly :( being said, I won't repurchase this again. As far as I like the formulation, the wipes feels scratchy on my skin. :(
But maybe next they would come up with just their formula in a bottle? I'll definitely make another consideration! :D

Review : REVLON Top Coat & Base Coat Nail Polishes

Hi bubblies!

How's everything?

Hope you stay magically happy! :D

This time, I'm going to review nail polishes from REVLON. 

I know it's not a popular item that REVLON has carried, which is their top coat & base coat nail polishes. but I think it's worth to mention. As I've tried. and in case, some of you curious for purchasing these. :D

This is a review for :

REVLON Super Top Speed Top Coat

( Top Coat Series )

&

REVLON Professional GROW 10

( Base Coat Series )

******************************************************************************

REVLON Super Top Speed Top Coat

******************************************************************************

60 second Top Coat

Netto 5 fl oz / 14.7 ml

What it says : Speed Dries Nail Enamel Surface. Builds shine, nail enamel, lasts twice as long.

To use : Apply over nail enamel. Reapply every other day for best results

Ingredients : Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Glyceryl Tribenzoate, Nitrocellulose, Isopropanol, Acrylates Copolymer, Triacetin, N Butyl Alcohol, Etocrylene, Dimethicone.

My review..

I'm gonna tell you my honest opinion.. hem. This is maybe one product that I'm gonna put in my regret to purchase list. -_-" haha.. Most importantly because, when it says it's gonna dry fast ( it even stated 60 second top speed! ), it doesn't do what it promised! What a shame :(  In fact, it takes like fooorever to dry on my nails.

The reason why I purchase this in the first place because I desperately need a new one to do my nails. Knowing this is a reachable item to purchase, that's why I pick this one up without thinking much.

Basically, it's almost like a cheap clear nail polish that has a very liquidy consistency. 

Okay, maybe this thing will make your colored nail polish stay longer, but.. why bother buying this then? While you can get the same effect like a cheap clear nail polish does. blah.

The bristle is long and flimsy either. Basically, it's a standard quality. :|

I guess for this being IDR. 35000 rupiahs ( around $3.50 US Dollars ) that I bought on Revlon counter at Watsons Mal Kelapa Gading, it even suppossed to be not worth that much.

Overall.. I do NOT recommend this item :)

    

******************************************************************************

REVLON Professional GROW 10

******************************************************************************

Natural Protein Strengthener
For Stronger, Longer Nails

Netto 5 fl oz / 14.7 ml

What it says : Intensive Plan for short, weak nails. Reapply daily to add strength.
Maintenance Plan for strong nails. Reapply every other day for longer wear and added gloss.

To Use : Every Manicure, Use as base coat and top coat.

Ingredients : Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Glyceryl Tribenzoate, Nitrocellulose, Acrylates Copolymer, Triacetin, Isopropyl Alcohol, Etocrylene, AMP Isostearoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Dimethicone, SD Alcohol 40, Water, Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide.

   

My review..

I think this is just an okay product for me. It does strengthen my nail and protect them before I put on any colored nail polish. I can feel that my nails are getting stronger rather than I didn't put anything on a period of time. And this base coat also make some of my *ehem* fake and cheap nail polishes glides on much smoother and spread nicer.

Here is my experiment while I'm wearing a dark color nail polish that usually stains on the nails.

You can see the huge difference, right? :D

Price tag : IDR. 35000 rupiahs ( around $3.50 US Dollars ) that I bought on Revlon counter at Watsons Mal Kelapa Gading.

Overall.. this is just a decent, standard quality product to me :)

    

☆☆☆ My Thoughts ☆☆☆

For the base coat & top coat, the consistency is about the same >> very runny & liquidy. But because they are liquidy, you get a thin layer in every application ( unless you build them up ). It was good I guess, because it supposed to work only as another layer to the main nail polish.  

They also have a very similar packaging thick glass plastic bottle and applicator.

They have a quite strong acetone smell, by the way. ugh. I know >,<"

As I said earlier, I'm not happy at all with the super top speed top coat from Revlon. You can skip and look for another brand if you ever consider to purchase a top coat. And about the base coat, it's just an okay product for me and I believe there are tons of other brands that have a better quality in this range of price.

Review + Swatches : NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in the color : 720A Sunny ♥♥♥

Hi bubblies!
How's your day?

Hope you stay healthy, wealthy and bubbly! :P

First of all, in case you're wondering, I kinda addicted to bronzer. 

YES. BRONZER. IS. MY. ADDIC.tion.

 And I guess it's one of my guilty pleasure cosmetic items. Hais. I'm guilty as charge!! ._."

It's like dive in into a mafia world : "Once you got a grip on it, you can't get out of it." ( backsound : evil laugh )

creepy isn't? lol.

  

To me, bronzer will instantly warm up my face, sculpt the face, and *ehem* slim down my 2 butt fatty cheeks without even go on a diet!! what?!

And later on.. Next thing you knew, you're already in a "bronzer world". Without it, felt like your face makeup is incomplete. And moreover, it's been growing up your skill into the next level, which are : perfecting the technique of application, the selection of right tools to use, choosing a product texture-wise or.. color option for specific look that suit you the best!

And this time, it is a review for the famous :

☆ ☆ NYC Sunny Bronzer ☆☆

 . lighting natural morning sunlight .

People and makeup community ( I guess? ) have been raving for this. Most of the time it's because for the cheap price and selection color shade that has been flattering for a light/medium skintone. So, let's see what I think about it! :)

 ☆ The Packaging ☆

Begin with the packaging. Hmm yeah, it's just a lightweight plastic compact packaging. Nothing special, but I guess it's a good size to have and strong enough to hold in my messy makeup bag. 

And it has a nicely mirror size inside.

I suggest you to just throw away the cheap sponge right away! useless. blah. >,<"

I love the pattern when you first look at it on the pan. It's a happy sun! :D

So nice to get a creative & thoughtful small thing like that, right?

The color :

I would describe the color as a warm soft bronze with a tiny bit of red brick undertone color. And it's a matte finish! ( Thank God! :P )

 ☆ The Texture & Pigmentation ☆

What I find are the texture is so smooth and blendable. However, it's not oh wow pigmented like the way I thought it would be. It's so sheer and sometimes hardly pick up the color and swatch it on my hands. Good thing, it is a buildable color and had zero crumble when you tried to sweep your brush on the pan.

Anywhoo.. I LOVE the finish it gives! ♥♥♥ Maybe because it's sheer in the first place, so I just dust it all over my face and build the color if I want to. It looks natural and not orange at all on my face. Last all day and I guess it's perfect for daily contouring and adding warmth to my face without being overdone.

Swatches!

.no primer. no base. under artificial light. 

2 hard swipes. 

I mean, I really dig in with my finger to get to this color pay off! >,<"

 ☆ The Comparison ☆ 

You know what? This is a very similar color to one bronzer that I already LOVE and adore! It's pretty similar to Aloha V-Line Slim Maker in Sun Gold / Wood Brown whoa!

left : Etude House Aloha V-Line Slim Maker in Wood Brown Bronzer

right : NYC Sunny Bronzer

I know it look significantly different with naked eyes on the pan, but the swatches is about the same. The texture and color pay off is also similar. You can read my review there also! :D

Well, slightly different.. if you can tell, NYC is more orange-y while Etude House is more reddish on undertone color.

Overall, I really really like this bronzer! Also, it's cheap! which is a HUGE plus in my agenda. Bought at around IDR. 50000 rupiahs ( or around $ 5 US Dollars ) which is not bad comparing it supposed to be only 3 bucks!!  \( ^.^ \) (/ ^.^ \) (/ ^.^ )/ *do the happy dance* lol.
