Triple Review: Bobbi Brown Lip and Eye Basic Palette, Paul & Joe Eye Color Primer and Pond's Pure White Facial Wash

My brother asked me to accompany him to the mall to go shopping. I was kind of hesitating because I had so many stuff to do for school. He insisted that I go with him so I did. I had 15 minutes to dress up so I wore my faded blue jeans, yellow lose shirt and my pale pink flats.
Anyway, what I did is I used my Revlon ColorStay Foundation, My Chanel Blush, TFS Semi-Matte Lipstick with MAC Chatterbox. I don't have a picture of it since I have already taken it off my face. Sorry. I usually don't put on eye make -up bit since I had a couple minutes left, I decided to look for something fast but looks great. I saw my Bobbi Brown palette, used the darkest shade as my eye color. Nothing fancy. No blending. Just one color. You'll see.

Here are some pictures of the palette:

These are the lip glosses (left retractable part)

Matte lipsticks (right retractable part)

Swatches: Upper part - glosses (L-R: Pink Bouquet, Orchid, the third is just another swipe)
Lower part - lip color (L-R: Dusty Mauve, Slopes)

These are the brushes included in the palette

Eyeshadows: (T-B: Bone, Nude)

Eyeshadows: (T-B: Stone, Mahogany)

What I used today is Mahogany. It's a very nice dark brown color that blends well and is somewhat waxy compared to other colors.

What I think of this palette: I think that this palette is nice overall but the lip colors aren't my favorite. They're a bit too thick and the colors aren't that flattering for me. However, the eye colors are lovely and would definitely use them again.

The next part of this review is the Paul & Joe Eye Color Primer. This is the first and only eye primer that I have so I really can't compare this with other primers because that would just be unfair. Anyway, here are some photos to prove how wonderful this primer is.

Applied it to half of my hand

When blended into the skin

I applied the eyeshadows to the area where there is primer and no primer for comparison
Can you see the difference?

I tried to rub it off using tissue and that's what happens to the colors!

After rubbing it off with tissue, the color of the eyeshadows without the primer has totally been wiped off. However, the area where there is eye primer, the color stays on. I'm really happy with this one. As I don't really use eye shadows, this is okay for me though I know there might be other primers which are better.

The third and last part of this review is the Pond's Pure White Facial Wash. I've been loyal to my Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. I've been using it for my face and as well as taking off my make-up. It does a very good job. There really isn't any reason why I should stop using this product because it has taken care of my skin for a long time and I love it.

However, when I saw Pond's new facial wash, I was intrigued by how it removes dirt, etc. using it's ingredient: Active Carbon. I ain't a scientist but they say that it takes out the dirt from your face and it whitens it. I'm really not a fan of whitening products that's why I stick with my Cetaphil Cleanser. However, what I'm really after this product is to thoroughly clean my face and not really the whitening part.

I've been using this for probably 3-4 weeks now and the only thing I don't like about this product is that it leaves your face extremely dry after washing. I hate it. Other than that, it's pretty okay. I just don't know if it does take out the dirt on my face. I haven't had pimples with this one. Thank God because I really don't have pimples, very rare that I do so this product is really pretty good.

Anyway, I used this one to take out the product on my hand, the one I used for the swatches.

This is the color of the product - grayish silvery color

Ta-dah! It's all gone!

It looks like it does it job in removing stuff from my face (and hand :)). I would recommend this to other people, no doubt! But I would also still keep my Cetaphil for days that I want to revive my face from the dryness this does to my face. I will still also use Cetaphil as my make-up remover.

So, after that long review, what do you think of the products?

Lancome and Guerlain Eye Make-ups

Okay, so I'm not that much of an eye-make up person because honestly, I'm not a pro. I was actually thinking of hiring a make-up artist to teach me last summer but I got too lazy. So, my usual make-up is just foundation, concealer, blush on and lipgloss.

Recently, I began experimenting with some eye-make up and here's what I came up with.
I just used the eye light crayon from Shu Uemura. I think it was from the summer collection few years ago and also Guerlain Mascara in Brown.


I then added some eye shadow color from my Lancome quad in Garment.

Here are the stuff I used:

(L-R) Paul & Joe Eye Color Primer in 02, Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara in Wonder Brown, Shu Uemura Eye Light Pencil Sweet Mode, Lancome Color Design Quad (Drape/Snap/Garment/Off the Rack)

So what do you think?

Bobbi Brown's Concealer, Foundation and Paul & Joe's Eye Primer

Bobbi Brown Foundation

This is what I usually put on my face for a base or foundation but not all the time. Since it's too hot outside, I usually don't put on foundation. So, if you're curious why I only have sample size of this one, it's because I have a lot of it. I think I have a handful more of this one. Since I rarely use foundation, I still have a lot of stock that's why I haven't bought any yet.

Love, love this one. It's creamy enough for the face and it really covers up well especially after a few hours, you'll really see the difference! Just make sure you get the color right!

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Beige

Hands down, the best concealer I have ever tried. Before, I actually said that I want to change it and try something else. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything as good as this one. This is the first ever concealer I've ever tried and I will stick with it until the last stock! Hehe :) There's actually another packaging for this which comes with a loose powder and a small foam. I super like the loose powder but it was too bulky and plus, I have my YSL powder so I don't really need that anymore. Plus, it has a mirror as big as the concealer itself. Love!!!

Paul and Joe Eye Color Primer in 02Back label

This primer is actually as good as an eye brightener. The color is perfect on my skin and I love how it brightens my eyes and also locks in color for my eyes. Plus, it smells great which I adore!
