My Lucid Intervals

Hello Friday!!! Okay, I will make a quick kwento. You may have noticed that I have been rarely posting on this the last two weeks. I was busy (as usual) and I am super duper excited with my FIRST out of the country trip. I will be going to South Korea. The moment I got the news that our visa were approved, I can't help but research where to eat, where to go and what to buy!Facundo, Ilabas na ang alkansiya! For the first time in my life I have given myself an exceptional gift. I would usually buy two pieces of clothes or splurge on makeup but I am growing old. (ito na naman po ako sa aking mmk moment). I want more happy memories. Most of all, I want to reward myself for all the hard work and unappreciated efforts that I did. Foremost, I thank the Lord that HE as my Jehovah Jireh, has provided me with blessings more than I could ever ask for. Anyways, I will be leaving for SK 10 days from now and can I just say that I have been dreaming about dongs and gongs like crazy because of the places in SK usually end with either a dong or a gong. O siya. sumosobra na ako sa chika.

Let us now go to a review of this funda! I may sound like broken record but I just love foundation in whatever form they come. When Pixy was launched a few months back, I received a lot of goodies from them. One of which is this two way cake. It is housed in a white plastic compact that reminds me of my very first powder foundation - Neutrogena but that was in a silver casing.

I honestly do not know how many shades this foundation has. I have not yet seen any pixy stand in Megamall. I hope they will put up one soon. Their lipsticks are the bomb!!! Anyways, I got the shade in Natural Beige. Looking at it on the pan, it looks suited on my NC35 skintone but once applied it looks a shade lighter on me. I was not a fan of the wet method of applying two cake foundations. However, during the launch of Pixy, the former Shu Uemura Chief Makeup Artist Xeng Zulueta applied this in such manner. I was amaze with how this foundation made the model's face flawless.

This foundation has a medium coverage whether applied wet or dry. The texture is smooth and blendable. Despite its medium coverage, this feels light on the skin. It also has a good staying power.

What I love about this powder:

1. Staying power is very good on my dry skin. No touch ups until the 4-5th hour of use.

2.It has a smooth blendable texture.

3. It does not have a scent.

4. It has a good coverage. It can cover up my blemishes and undereye circles especially when used with a wet sponge.

5. The sponge that came with is the best I have ever tried!!!No kidding!!

(Dear Pixy Cosmetics, kindly sell your sponges individually please!!!!!!)

6. It has SPF 15.

7. It gives off a matte finish.

8. It is also good for touch ups.

9. It is best use with alone when applied when, or with a lighter base or for touch ups.

What I do not like about this powder:

1. It has a tendency to cake especially when used with a makeup base that has a heavy coverage.

2. They have limited shades. The shade Natural Beige still looks light on me and gives me that mumu effect! Halloween ang peg! I just temper the lightness of the foundation with a matte bronzer.

3. Due to its matte finish, it has the tendency to highly the dry patches on my face.

Please wag niyo ng pansinin ang aking bagong gising hairstyle. :)

The photo speaks for itself. Look how it covered up my nasty dark under eyes and pimple marks.

Overall, I like this powder foundation. I already hit pan on two compacts. :) It is my go to powder when I do not like layering products. I specially like it to apply through wet method.For the price and coverage, I will definitely repurchase!

Godbless!!

Mandom Philippines (the company that brought us Bifesta and Lucido-L) has brought the newest and very affordable Japanese makeup line in the Philippines. This Japanese brands has been showering beauty across Indonesia and Malaysia. Now, we get a taste of these lovely brand and it is formulated in Japan and Made in Indonesia! My friend and I (Chas of http://vain-and-pleasure.blogspot.com/) have been quite biased when it comes to Japanese brands. We have this notion that if made a makeup is made or formulated in Japan, it is definitely good and perfect for Asian skin. Pixy incorporates the light reflecting and skin perfecting properties found in Japanese brands.

Pixy offers a ladylike "gal" trend with a twist. Pixy is affordable, wearable and incredibly easy to wear. It promises to awaken one's youthful spirit with its chic and pink packaging. I have been loving their lipsticks and foundation for months now and I am excited to share the swatches and review to all of you.

The event place was one of the most sophisticated and well decorated one I have been to. The place was surrounded by Japaned Cherry blossoms that made us, the guests, felt a bit of Japan.
