The first time I tried this powder I didn't liked it because it oxidized on my face. I even made a comment in Golden's blog that I wouldn't use it again since it darkened on my face. I decided to give it a try but this time I used Avon Magix Tinted Face Perfector to make this powder foundation long lasting. Angelfit  has Chamomile Essence, Royal Jelly, Vitamin E and has an SPF of 22 and PA ++. The more (+) plus sign means more protection from UVA rays  that can cause premature aging of the skin. I was amazed of how natural it looked on me. If I apply this after my Avon primer, it really stayed longer than usual and my face became less oily. It also didn't darken on my skin. If you noticed the picture above, it has some sort of purple glitter that's the 'pink pearl' technology that would create an illusion of glowing skin when you're wearing this powder. It makes your skin flawless and glowing. I have two swatches at the back of my hand. One with flash and the other without flash. You can really see the glow it gives. So far it didn't cause any breakout or any itchiness on my skin, I guess because it is Dermatologist tested as well. That indication is really important for me especially when you're going to apply a product on your face. You wouldn't want to compromise. Angelfit can be used wet or dry and it says if you want a light coverage use it dry, but if you want a heavier coverage you may use a damp sponge. I highly recommend this product for those individuals who would like a natural, luminous, glowing effect of powder on their skin. By the way, angelfit is also available in liquid foundation. I am not fond of using liquid foundation as it is tedious and time consuming in applying. But liquid foundation is more long lasting than powder foundation formulations in general. In terms of the price, it is quite reasonable since it fairly lasts long and I would give it 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it. How about you? Have you tried this? What's your favorite powder foundation?

I have been a fan of Nivea lotion since I was in high school but I know they've built their name for a very long time. I'm an avid fan of their lip care line. The price are so reasonable but the products are very effective. Their latest product, Nivea Pinkish Boost costs p175 pesos ($4 USD). As you can see in the swatch above, it really moisturizes your lips up to 8 hours, protects with SPF 15 and restores the natural pinkish color of the lips. I love it because it's perfect for a no makeup look. There are days that I don't feel like putting on makeup then this is the perfect partner for my lips! It really made my lips so smooth, it has a very subtle scent, it's not that greasy since it's more of a liquid balm, not a gloss per se. It is a 3in1 lipcare. I give it a 4.5 over 5 stars!
