The Baby's of Maybelline

I cannot understand why my photos look "muddy" and extra grainy when I upload them here...anyone experience this too?  It's already bugging me big time and already applied all the solutions that I searched in google but failed!  Anyway, let's talk about the two babies of Maybelline that I have.

Maybelline Baby Skin
Poreless.  Baby Smooth.  Lightweight.  Breathable.
"On contact, translucent gel melts on skin and instantly erase pores, imperfections, lines and creases.  Skin looks instantly transformed into a perfect smooth canvas.  Skin is shine free, even and baby smooth.  No burden to skin.  The secret?  Cherry extracts, known for their antioxidant properties."

The translucent gel does smoothen the skin with velvety texture, however it blurs rather than erase by filling the gaps of the skin making foundation or bb cream easier to apply with evenness.  In my case, this doesn't make my skin shine free.  Just upon application I can see shininess that progresses as the hours go by that after around four hours, my face looks oily without really being oily (I have dry skin) so I suggest to use this sparingly about around half a pea size is enough for the whole face and neck.  More than the said amount, my face will look oily and feels heavy by the time I'm eating lunch.  I love that it doesn't feel sticky though and I'll believe in the words of Maybelline that it doesn't clog pores.

and here's what the baby skin pore eraser looks like

The next baby is the Maybelline Baby Lips in Smoothing Cherry
SPF20.  Instant 8 hour moisture.  Rejuvenated lips in one week.
"The next generation of lip balm is born, from Maybelline New York.  Adult strength care for baby soft lips.  Instant 8 hour moisture-  Shed away rough dryness for supple, smooth, and cushioned lips all day long.  In one week rejuvenated lips- It's proven:  Centella essence increases cell turnover to literally transform your lips, fine lines reduced, elasticity increased, suppleness increased."

I mainly use this now when I'll be under the sun for more than 30 minutes because of it's spf which is the only reason why I'm keeping this lip balm (for now).  Aside from the spf, I semi hate it because it makes my lips sensitive even after the week promise, it's like anytime my lips will bleed.  It does moisturize though when I just freshly apply it and smells like cherry too.

By the way the Baby Skin Pore eraser is said to be a dupe of Benefit's Pore Professional.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base

Etude House already releases 2 or 3 collection and yet I haven't shared my thoughts on this pink baby from the Sweet Recipe collection.

Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base

It's a primer, make-up base, my concealer and corrector even a cc cream- it's so good on me that I fell in love with make-up bases because it's just what I need for my everyday make-up look.

Let's just say that I seldom use any any make-up to prettify my face with this:  it can even out my skin tone, hide my pores and give this almost porcelain dewy effect plus with extra layer it can somehow lighten (by covering of course) the appearance of my dark circles.  I'm a fan natural looking skin or the no make-up make up look so coverage is not a problem to me.

Now I sounded like I'm advertising but I'm not, really.  It's just that it's my first time to encounter this type of make-up base plus I'm new to make-up so I was astounded with the effect it's gives me.

This number 2 Berry Choux gives a little pinkish glow to my dull white face.  It's like it has bits of pearls or something that gives my face an illusion of illumination.

This light and fluffy choux cream-like base creates baby choux skin with it's moist inside and soft smoothness on the outside

I got the one with the glass packaging but there are newer versions of the Baby Choux bases in tubes.  There are three kinds (I know you are already aware of this fact so I'll make it quick):  the mint is for those with troubled skin to tone down the redness, the peach are for those with warmer skin tones to make skin bright and the berry one which is most suitable for those who have dull complexion  to make the skin look more vibrant.

SPF25,PA++ #2 Berry Choux
628 pesos
11000 won for tube type

Well it also has SPF, woot woot for a person who do not like to put another layer of product to protect it's skin from the sun, another point for Baby Choux!.  That's another pro but of course there's also a con to it: while I'm loving the raspberry smell to this make-up base I sometimes smell something off...something foul when I smell it from the container probable from the ingredients responsible for the SPF.

Another thing that I think is a con to this product is that when I apply to much it makes my skin so white that I have to wash my face again but (again) if there's a con to that then a pro is also present that is I can use the product longer since I do not have to use a lot, that's a big savings for me (and for you to!).

small bottle with great product inside

Yep it's light and fluffy and creamy too and can make my skin look moist (outside not inside).  Soft...well a little and yes to smoothness although I feel a little grittiness like tiny bits of pearl but after applying the product evenly, the grittiness disappears making the skin look and feel smooth.  And please forgive me for the redundancy in this post.

Directions for use is pretty basic.  The box says just smooth over the entire face a choux cream-like soft, smooth complexion.  I on the other hand put one pea size each on my cheeks, forehead and chin then spread the product outward then pat face for an even natural looking look.

The pretty bottle only contains 25g but with the right amount of usage can last for a whole year.  I'm using mine for around three months already and it's still 7/8 full (the picture is the evidence).

The frosted bottle and the cap looks elegant by the way, it makes my cube look girly.  The box also looks cute, it's like a miniature cake box.  Overall, packaging is pretty amazing, I just hope Etude House could do something with the description.  I mean "1 spoon of moisture, 2 spoons of soft smoothness"?  I know Etude House is trying to be cute but really what does the statement really means?

ingredients just in case your interested

Nice looking (all in one) product for a nice looking skin.  Thank you Etude House for creating Baby Choux!

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye!
