[Review] Beauskin Invisible Pore Foundation

This is a foundation perfect for Filipino/Tanned Skinned Korean Makeup fans who can't get the right shade.

Hi everyone! It's been a while, and I'm so excited to share my review of The Beauskin Invisible Pore Foundation. First of all, I would like to thank SaeliYuriMelissaLee's all about Korean makeup and skincare group for allowing me to join and get my hands on the best Korean Makeup and Skincare products that are hard to get. And to my first angel, Cheryl Love for adding me to that group, and of course my current angel Angiela Layug for patiently answering my queries. I'm really glad I was able to get a hold of this product. You can also get this at Lazada but at a higher price.

This foundation has been causing a lot of hype in that group and I was really intrigued and been eyeing this product for a while, because I've always loved Korean Cosmetics but it's really difficult to find the right shade for me because we all know that Koreans have lighter skin tones, and top makeup brands usually has only three shades, and the darker shades are still lighter for me. I'm sure a lot of Filipino Korean makeup fans can relate.

So let's start our review.

Description:

This product is known as the perfect cover foundation. The vegetable oil ingredients such as avocado oil and olive oil is included to supply moisture and nutrition on the skin and due to fine silicon powder, the foundation completely covers fine lines and pores. This facial foundation lasts for a long time even under sweat and moist. Also, it helps in controlling sebum and helps in preservation of soft skin.

How to use:

How to use: After using the make-up base, take an appropriate amount of the foundation and apply evenly along the skin texture from the large areas of the face then gently tap of finish.

Swatches:

Bare Face (used Real Kill White as primer)

As you ca see the color of the product is slightly yellow toned and it's a different shade compare to my skintone

When blended

With powder. See, this product is really good at faking that you have great skin. LOL

Pros:

Covers your fine lines and pores

Matches your skin tone

Light on the face

Has organic ingredients

Gives you a glowing look

Very affordable (but the original price is more expensive but the results are worth the penny)

Perfect for no makeup look

Provides medium coverage

Gives you that glowing dewy finish

Cons:

I'm not a fan of the smell

Not travel friendly

Only has medium coverage cause it's not too thick

Rating:

I would give this product a 5/5. Seriously.

Final Verdict:

So why did I give it a 5/5? To be honest, I couldn't find any flaw to the product it self. It's very light on the face and the coverage is so natural. It gives you a glowing look and you'll notice that your skin feels smoother. I love that the coverage is not too matte so your face doesn't look like a dry desert, but it's not too greasy as well. It's a bit oily I must say after a few hours but it's not greasy or heavy like other makeup brands. So yeah, this one is my current favorite so far.

Also, if you feel like your waiting too long for your skin care routine to take effect, this is a good product to fake your skin. HEHE. It's really looks good on your photos, gives everybody an illusion that your skin is nice.

The lasting power is up to 4-5 hours based on my experience, it does comes off on most parts but after few hours, I still look fresh, you can simply do a retouch with powder, or best if you use a primer so that the makeup would stay longer.

If you haven't seen the long-term effects of your skin care routine and you still have skin issues, this is a good product to cover those because its ingredients are very light and it won't cause any breakouts. For me, it didn't.

I actually prefer this product over L'oreal True Match Foundation which I also posted a review so check it out. It's lighter, and it doesn't get darker.

That's it! If you want me to try and make a review for a product, please feel free to contact me. You can get my details on the About Me page. And if you have questions, please go ask! I love question and answer portions! LOL. :D

Five Awesome Reasons Why You Should Be Waking Up Early

Before you make the assumption that I’ve been an early riser all my life, let me stop you there, as this was definitely not the case. In fact, I had spent most of my late teen years and early 20’s “thriving” by constantly burning the midnight oil. I was convinced that sleep was overrated, “I can sleep as much as I want when I’m dead“, I thought to myself. And as a result, I was getting by with as little as 3 to 4 hours of sleep every night.

Perhaps it’s the inevitable effects of aging but these days, I can’t even fathom a night without 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Though the transformation from a night owl to an early bird was hardly a walk in a park, knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have it other way.

Whilst being an early riser may not be for everyone, through my own experience, I have found that the early bird does catch the worm. With that, here are five reasons why I personally believe it truly pays to be a morning person:

You’ll have a calm yet invigorating start to the day

By waking up at least 2 hours prior to getting out the door in the morning, you give yourself enough time to indulge in your morning rituals instead of having to rush through your morning.

Depending on your preference, you may use this ‘free’ time for a peaceful meditation session, plan for the day ahead, have an indulgent 20-minute bath or perhaps, if you wake up early enough, all of the above!

By setting aside ample time for the things that give you joy and serenity in the morning, you are bound to start the day fully recharged with a spring to your step and ready to take on the world by the time you walk out the door.

You’ll be able to catch one of nature’s greatest shows

One of my all-time favorite things to do is to watch the sunrise and the only way one can catch a glimpse of one of nature’s greatest feat is to wake up early enough to see it!

Each beautiful sunrise is different from the next but never fails to mesmerize. Whenever I watch the sunrises while breathing in the crisp morning air, I am once again reminded as to how truly beautiful the world is and how fortunate we all are to be living in it. It makes me sincerely grateful to be alive and instills a sense of gratitude as I go about my day.

You’ll have time for a proper breakfast

I love having an indulgent and healthy breakfast in the morning along with cups of my favorite elixir, coffee. Breakfast is also a time when I set aside time to chat with my loved ones and/or catch up on the latest news and happenings before I’m off to seize the day.

As cliché as it may sound, it’s been scientifically proven that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Hence, it is surprising that many still insist on skipping it, mainly because they have no time to eat in the morning! By making time for a proper, hearty breakfast, you provide your body (and your brain) with the nourishment that it needs to help you be on top of your game and keep you energized – at least until lunch time rolls around.

You’ll become more productive

Whenever I have some tasks that I was not able to complete during the work day, instead of opting to burn the midnight oil, I make a point to do them in the following morning instead. I’ve come to realize that I am much more productive and focused after a restful slumber than if I were to force myself to get it all done the night before.

If I am anticipating an insanely busy day ahead, I would use my morning to get a head start on the day’s tasks. This way, I am able to lessen the work load for the rest of the day and prevent myself from becoming too overwhelmed or burning out in the long run.

You’re likely to make time to work out

For most of us, by the time we step out of the office, the last thing we want to do is hit the gym or do ANY physical exercise. Personally, I much prefer to use my time in the evenings to relax. Whether it’s checking out a new restaurant, hanging out with friends or watching my favorite TV shows, I usually block my evenings for some downtime before hitting the hay.

Knowing that I would make plenty of excuses to get out of working out in the evenings, mornings make the perfect time to squeeze it in! So, use this time for a refreshing run or a yoga class. As you may already know, when we exercise, we produce endorphins aka our body’s “happy” hormones that make us feel more energized, lift our mood and help us to tackle whatever challenges the day has in store for us!

The reasons above are so true, there were times that my insomnia attacks so sometimes I sleep at 08:00 in the morning, which is something I'm trying to break and I believe I'm doing a great job lately. I try my best not to sleep very late cause the reasons above are my motivation to wake up early.

So there you, to those who love to sleep very late, I hope this encourages you to sleep early and wake up early to have a productive day ahead.

Looking for a great morning ritual that have plenty of benefits? Go on a meditation and yoga retreat where you’ll learn to instill great habits that will help you to make the most of each day!
