Review: Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Hydra Gel Oil-free

The Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Hydra Gel Oil-free moisturizer can be used day and night and comes with a woody, musky scent that reminds me of a masculine perfume. Despite it claiming to be a gel, i do find the texture of the product to be quite thick and more on the creamier side. However, it still manages to blend into the skin and absorbs quickly so it feels light. This does do a good job of moisturizing, but I do not see other effects from it. I would have expected more from this product with its expensive price tag.

Pros:
-absorbs quickly
-oil free so its good for summer

Cons:
-the price

Overall:
3/5

Review: Anna Sui Face Color Accent

This post would be a sponsored product review from Shopper’s Drug Mart at Bayview and Major Mackenzie in Richmond Hill, Ontario.  (Their facebook page here.) The cosmetics manager there was very nice and generous to give me testers to review when I told her I was a beauty blogger. Having said this, what I write here is still my own honest opinion and my own experience with the products from my own experience. Thanks so much!! 




Anna Sui Face Color Accent is a powder blush that comes in the generic Anna Sui package. I got it in the color 400 which is a very pretty and bright coral shade which flatters a variety of skin tones. I apply this to the apples of the cheeks and this gives the skin a healthy yet delicate glow.


It opens up to reveal the powder blush. I have also used this as an eye shadow and it has gave me nice effects . The blush itself is quite sheer and the amount of color is build able  It is quite long lasting too.
