Review

As suggested in its name, this moisturiser is tinted and it is specifically made for oily/impure skin. I honestly have no idea what exactly impure skin means but I am guessing it means acne- and/or oil-prone skin, if that makes any sense.
I bought this product about half a year ago and it lasts for a really long time even though it is only 75 mL. On a scale of 1 to 10 -- 1 being this product shall be annihilated and 10 being this is heaven-sent light, I would rate it an 8.

Pros

  • Supports my skin tone (trust me, my skin tone isn't exactly common in drugstore products)
  • It is tinted so if I am having one of those days where I don't feel like putting on makeup, it already does my foundation's work
  • Lasts a long time
  • Doesn't slide off easily (and I can say this with complete confidence because I work in a fast food restaurant near burning fire and it does NOT melt)
  • Moisturises really well without coming off greasy
See? It matches!

Cons

  • Is not as mattifying as I had expected
  • My T-zone is still greasy by midday
  • THEY DON'T SELL THEM ANYMORE
  • No SPF
Overall I really adore this product and am not disappointed at all. I still have to combine it with my normal sunscreen and maybe that is the reason why my skin is oily by midday. It makes a perfect base for my minimal/natural makeup.

So would I buy this product again? Yes, I definitely would, if only NIVEA STILL SELLS THEM!

REVIEW: O Cosmedics Rebalancing Cream

This has only been May and my stress level is so high that my skin is terribly suffering. My skin is starting to thin that I can see my veins on my cheeks. My pores are huge, especially after the hot summer of Australia when everyday was over 30 degrees. I have always had acne for as long as I can remember but now they are accompanied by those tiny bumps that you can't see but you can feel. Well, that's what people said. I can definitely see them and neurotic me thought it was too much. One day in April I went to this beauty salon to get my usual waxing (once you wax you never go back, to shaving I mean). The beauty therapist, her name is Deirdre, took one look at my skin and commented at how I've been breaking out. But like in a nice way, not in the obnoxious "Wow, you have a lot of acne, don't you?" way. She gave me a skin consultation and thought I should come back for an acne peel. Being the self-conscious person I am, I came back the next week. After

SKINCARE SATURDAY: Sebamed Clear Face Mattifying Cream

So I have just recently moved back to Indonesia. While that is a story for another day, let me just tell you about Indonesian climate. Actually, let me Google it. "Split by the equator, I ndonesia  has an almost entirely tropical  climate , with the coastal plains averaging 28°C, the inland and mountain areas averaging 26°C, and the higher mountain regions, 23°C. The area's relative humidity is quite high, and ranges between 70 and 90 percent." - weatheronline.co.uk You know what that means? That means it's humid as f*ck. As in hair frizzy, sweating mess, body odour thriving. And... OILY SKIN. So my skin has always been normal-combination for as long as I can remember. And I have accepted that you know. I found a great skincare routine that actually cleared up my face of its plaguing acne and its brethren acne marks. My pores were not visible. MY PORES WERE NOT VISIBLE AT ALL. So imagine my surprise when I stepped off the plane and a couple of hours later I found
