HanSkin UV Screen B.B. SPF50+ PA+++

Here's another good bb cream that got chopped from the Hanskin lineup, the UV Screen B.B. SPF50+ PA+++. This is among the various 10mL tubes I bought to try, and I like it enough to lament this part of the Hanskin downsizing.

HanSkin Mineral Magic Moisture B.B. SPF30 PA++

Since trying Hanskin Super Light Touch BB SPF30 PA++, I was so impressed I bought several other 10mL tubes of Hanskin bb creams to try. This Mineral Magic Moisture B.B. SPF30 PA++ is among those, although unfortunately it looks like this bb cream has been discontinued. Hanskin is downsizing their bb creams lineup, which is a good thing because, well, have you seen their lineup? It's ginormous!!! At the same time, some great stuff is getting axed, and that includes this one :(

Parasola UV Mineral BB Powder SPF50+ PA+++

Among my recent sunscreen powder obsession is this Parasola UV Mineral BB Powder SPF50+ PA+++. There are actually quite a few pressed powder compacts out there with high SPF protection. I mostly prefer loose powder but was game to try a pressed version, and while at it I picked up a second one for sis in law to try too, since she's only tried the loose powder version also.

Visee Glossy Rich Eyes Part II

Despite wishing for more metallic, I really enjoy my Visee Glossy Rich Eyes. So when Visee released the winter 2014 limited edition Urban Winterland collection, I nabbed the two palettes BR-9 Warm Skin and PU-10 Winter Orchid as soon as they become available.

Maquillage Eye Color N Part V

Last two pieces of Maquillage Eye Color N that I've own for a while now but never got around to even open them up, much less try and post about them. Sadly, over the years Maquillage has greatly downsized this entire collection of eye color singles, going from at least a few dozen choices to just 8 colors (5 lid shades, 3 medium crease shades), 3 highlighters, 3 cream bases, and 2 cream liners.

The two Eye Color N's featured below are Cream Bases, BE213 and RS217, with BE213 still available while RS217 discontinued.

Visee Glam Glow Eyes Part III

This is the last of the Visee Glam Glow Eyes, palette BL-5. I loved all the other Glam Glows so much I thought I'd complete the whole range. Speaking of which, these are one of very few (may be 3?) line of eye shadow palettes that I own the range of, so let's just say they're pretty special.

Stila Convertible Color Part III

Stila had a warehouse sale recently, and among the sale items were these Convertible Colors in Dahlia, Hibiscus, Lotus, and Peach Blossom. Being a fan of the Convertible Colors I've always wanted to try more colors but it was too expensive at $25 a pop, because I'm cheap like that :P So now so with 40% off I couldn't resist ^.^

Eyeko Liquid Metal Eyeliner Part II

I received this Eyeko Liquid Metal Eyeliner in Rose Gold as a GWP with my last order over the holidays, and it pretty much completes my collection of eyeliners for now.

Eyeko Visual Eyes Liquid Eyeliner Part II

Just a couple more posts for eyeliners and I'll be done with these for a while (or so I'm trying to tell myself). Over the holidays Eyeko released a color Marine for the Visual Eyes Liquid Eyeliner, and at 40% off plus a GWP. I couldn't resist, and also bought a backup for Mocha as I prefer it over Ebony and received a Liquid Metal Eyeliner in Rosegold as gift. Will review this in a separate post.

Visee Mineral Liquid Cheeks Baby Finish Part II

This Visee Mineral Liquid Cheeks Baby Finish in RD401 was another cart filler for a recent Adam Beauty order, because yes it was on clearance. I really enjoyed the 3 colors I have, so why not?

I have already reviewed these so I won't repeat with this color. However, I will say it's sheerer than the previous 3, because the color is also lighter. 

- RD401: a warm fleshy pink that blends out to a sheer and natural flush on the cheeks. If you want more of a pop of color, you might want to go for OR200, PK801, or RD400 instead.
