Avon True Color Power Essence Color Correcting Cushion Review


Avon has been around for so many years, I guess I was used to seeing them in their usual makeup line - basic blush colors, wide range of lipsticks, an array of base makeup, great colors of eyeshadow that fits Filipinas.

Then K-Beauty Collection came along!  Will this brand do well?

For me, the best way to know is to review their base makeup!  If you managed to create a really good base for K-Beauty look - you'll do well on the rest of the collection (that's just me!)

The first product from this collection I tested is the Avon True Color Power Essence Color Correcting Cushion (Php799.00).

Skin care and color correction for instantly improved, radiant skin.
 Infused with Power Essence for instantly improved skin texture.



As opposed to most cushion compacts you know, the similarity of the "thick compact" ends there.  This one has a "pan" and you only need to "press" it down and product will come out.  I prefer this type of packaging as it keeps the product fresh and clean beneath while you can control the amount of product to be dispensed.

There are a total of 3 shades - Light, Nude and Shell


Nude and Shell would work well on most Filipinas with Light Medium to Medium Dark complexion.  It was a close fight between Nude and Shell but I picked the latter because it has warmer undertone.  That said, if you have cooler complexion go for Nude.

CLIO Kill Cover Glow Cushion Review



Whenever I see the "Kill Cover" line from CLIO... I always have the BlackPink music on top of my head: "Let's Kill This Love...da da da da..rampapapapa"

Well obviously, my first statement is totally OUT of the topic on what I'm supposed to write here but you know me..there's always something crazy going inside my head I just had to let it out.

So back to this topic, I recently got the CLIO Kill Cover Glow Cushion and because it says GLOW, I pushed aside all my cushion (even my favorite AprilSkin Magic Snow Cushion) to give way to this glowing product.

Sun radiance added to the Kill Cover’s high coverage for a perfected, healthy and illuminant complexion that glows

There are a total of 5 shades and I got shade 4 which is GINGER.  I am glad CLIO came something with not just 2-3 shades but 5!  Although the darkest shade isn't really dark so not for users with darker complexion.

Tom Ford Traceless Touch Foundation Satin-Matte Cushion Compact Review



THIS, was featured and mentioned on my #AMWIGstories so many times and even got into my January Favorites!  You'll understand why after reading the full review.

This multi-tasking skin-nourishing compact formula is resistant to water, sweat and humidity.  It controls oil and shine while giving skin a flood of moisture.  Long-wearing and color-true with buildable coverage from medium to full. 
Traceless Touch Foundation Satin-Matte Cushion Compact instantly minimized the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

This product comes with a brown suede pouch which I find no use in terms of putting back the compact on (that's just me), I prefer to use the pouch to house my jewelries when I go for staycation or travel.

Now let's talk about the compact itself.  A very simple plastic compact with gold detailing on the sides, I find this to be very luxurious to hold and look at.  It does look  heavy on photo but in reality, the compact is as light as regular compact foundation.
