Bare Minerals: Double Trouble Marvelous Moxie Lipstick & Lipgloss Duo

For some reason I'm not drawn to most of the products from Bare Minerals especially their cosmetics line, I had tried their skin care range and do like them but I was just not curious about their makeup and I don't know why.

That day when I'm waiting at the queue in Sephora I saw this Bare Minerals: Double Trouble Marvelous Moxie Lipstick & Lipgloss Duo (SGD $19) and just pick it up thinking why not since I've not tried any of their products and they are great for when traveling. In Singapore we are not that lucky to get that much free samples like in the USA, most of us have to pay for the minis samples (deluxe sample sizes).

 Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss (Smooth Talker) is described as a golden pink shade. The gloss is thick and slightly tacky which allows to adhere to the lips and have a longer wear time. The formula produces a plush, pouty look o the lips and this shade looks quite sheer on me but with a golden sheen.

The sponge applicator is the method of application which has a slight slant to it that allows you to saturated it well with color so a single swipe with yield shine and color onto lips.

Marvelous Moxie Lipstick (Make Your Move) is a Mid-tone nude with a slight brown undertone. They are: 

• rich and creamy texture
• long wearing
• extremely pigmented/saturated
• nice variety of colors
• plumping (no tingle)

Overall I do prefer their lipstick more then their lipgloss, nothing really special or stands out to me. Not that they are not good but I just prefer other brands or other formulas more then them, they're still a good if you're keen to try.

Bare Minerals: Active Cell Renewal Night Gel

Hi my lovely ladies!! As I promised, I will give you my thoughts on the Bare Minerals Active Cell Renewal Night Gel now. I will have a link to my previous post on the Bare Minerals Illuminating White Treatment below.

As you know that I managed to grab both from Sephora sales section for only SGD $20 each. The packaging is really simple and clean, it comes with a pump for a easy dispensing of the product.
The only bad thing about the packaging is that you could not see how much is left in the bottle at all.

Bare Minerals: Active Cell Renewal Night Gel (50g/ 1.7 fl oz)is formulated without parabens, synthetic fragrances, artificial oils and for use on wet skin prior to night time sleep.This treatment helps maximize cellular renewal, accelerates cell turn over and boosts moisture levels while we sleep and we will wake up to a radiant, younger looking skin(thats what Bare Minerals are claiming). Their ActiveSoil Complex is the ingredient powering the skincare, it contains a blend of beneficial macro and micro minerals.

The texture is milky white and gel like, adsorbs into my skin very fast without leaving any stickiness. I don't see that significant huge difference but I can feel how soft and smooth my face felt in the morning when I wake up. It is doing its job I guess, slow but steady!

It is quite impressive I must say, I love everything that it is doing to my skin. I will buy if I don't have so many other skin care to use up *AheM* .

Have a nice day & see yall soon!!

Bare Minerals: Illuminating White Treatment

I've managed to grab this back from Sephora's sales section about November last year for just SGD $20 @(28g/0.9 oz), and just started using it at the beginning of March with my morning regime. I got to admit I have way too many products to use up and nearly forgot about this even exists (heehee). *P.S: I got their Active Cell Renewal Night Gel the same time too but will be reviewing it later as I only have started using for just 1 week. 

I like their simple, clean and sleek packaging, for the first time trying Bare Minerals Skin Care I must say I am quite pleased. Side note for those who don't know the steps in skin care: you got to use this right after your Cleanser first then toner and before your moisturizer, anything that says treatment, essence, serum is always before moisturizer.

This Illuminating White Treatment seems to be aimed and targeted towards the Asian Market, we love anything that can even out and brighten out our skin tone. The best is this is formulated without parabens, synthetic fragrances and artificial oils.

Bare Minerals: Illuminating White Treatment combines ginger and time-released vitamin C with a blend of brightening minerals to target stubborn pigmentation, including age spots, sun spots and pigmentation from acne scars.

Key Ingredients:

• Mineral Brightening Blend - Blend of calcium & magnesium refines & retexturizes skin while improving the skin barrier for a radiant complexion.

• Time-Released Vitamin C - This whitening ingredient is time-released to prolong its skin-lightening effects. Fades the appearance of overactive pigmentation like dark spots, age spots, sun spots, darken pores and pigmentation from acne scars for a more even looking skin.

• Tropical Ginger Extract - A traditional medicinal herb found in tropics of southeast Asia, helps prevent future discoloration so skin looks lighter and whiter.

• Vitamin E - Skin-enhancing ingredient promotes skin vitality & helps prevent future damage to give skin a healthy-looking glow.

The texture is like a milky white gel, it is super light weight and adsorbs into my skin really fast, it does not affect my super oily T-Zone (I have got a very oily T-Zone and dry spots at certain parts of my face). I have been using this for the past month and haven't notice an significant difference, but it does take some time for whitening cream to work. It does brighten up a bit and I do love the texture and will keep using it to see if it works better.

If there is another chance of getting it at a bargain price again I definitely will get it. 

Let me know if you have tried it!

Have a great weekend!
