VERDICT: It was a pretty good product but I won't repurchase this anymore. I'm pretty sure there are other good stuffs much better than this.


2. Rire Lucent White Pearl Cream


This lucent white pearl cream does 3 things. First, it brightens skin tones that glows like a pearl. Second, it also good ingredients that fight wrinkles and fine lines. Third, it can make our skin smooth and radiant that glows from the inside.

3. Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Morocco

This matte lip cream goes on the lips very smoothly. It sets to a matte finish. I have here the shade Morocco which is a coral shade with a hint of orange tone to it as well.

Elizavecca Skin Liar Primer

Hello everyone!! How's your month of March so far? I have here another make up product and it's a primer this time. I got this from Althea Korea. Not gonna lie that the main reason why I purchased this is the cute packaging. Let's continue and talk about this Elizavecca Skin Liar Primer.

What's it about?







Just notice how soft and smooth my skin looks. :) 
This skin primer claims to do 3 things. First, it covers the pores on the face. Second, it moisturizes the skin and keeps the smoothness texture at the same time. Lastly, it promises to hold the make up on the face for a longer period of time.

PRICE: It's already discounted. The original price is P 1000 and now it's just P280.

SIZE: It is 30ml.

SHADE: It only has one shade. It looks like a peachy/ creamy color that looks similarly like a BB cream shade. 

PACKAGING: This I really noticed at first. The packaging looks fun and designed like a game console. The product is contained in a fun plastic tube with a twist cap. 

TEXTURE: It has a pretty thick consistency that glides easily on the skin after application. You can feel that instant smoothness on the skin.



PROS
  • It does moisturize the skin.
  • The packaging of this primer is really adorable.
  • It makes any makeup / BB cream/ foundation look smooth and silky.
  • It is reasonably priced in the market.
  • It really feels light on the skin and you can't barely notice it.
  • It's very economical to use because a little amount goes a long way already.

CONS
  • It isn't easily available in the market. 
  • It doesn't do much with hiding the pores especially if you have enlarged ones.
  • It doesn't help much with the oil control aspect but putting on some powder helps somehow.

My Overall Thoughts
I am quite satisfied with this primer. Does the job as expected. If you're on the look out for a good primer that doesn't cost much but still works well then this is the one for you. It is reliable enough to achieve that smooth silky skin. 

That's it for today. Hope you find this helpful.
How about you guys? What is your trusted primer nowadays? I wonder about it and let's share ideas then.

My Final Thoughts
Overall, I can say that our experience was really a blast. The place gave us warm smiles, convenience, good foods and luxury all in one combination.
