First time to hit pan on any product! :)

This is a first for me. I am such an advertising junkie that I would easily fall for anything that people are selling. I love to try new things and buying all the latest products. But today I'm here to share something new about me. I finally hit pan with not one but two products! I'm so proud of myself, but mostly I'm proud at the products because they do soo much for my skin.

From left-right:
Graftobian HD Color Palette in Warm 2
Human Heart Nature Tomato and Lemongrass Toner (my 2nd Bottle)
Skin MD Natural Moisturizer (my end Bottle)



Graftobian HD Foundation in Warm 2

Okay, so I have not really hit pan on all the colors, but the most common colors are well as you can see finished hehe. I am really impressed with this product because it really gives such a flawless finish. Topped with a translucent powder and the Graftobian Pro Powder Foundation it is perfect.

I really wanted to use this up so I can buy and try new foundation. But now that it's finished, I am so torn on whether or not I should repurchase. But for the experience this has given me, I would most likely repurchase this. :)


Human Heart Nature Tomato Toner + Skin MD Natural Moisturizer

Now these two I really love and now I cannot live without! Both these products are now on their second bottle with me and both are almost finished!

Check out my second Tomato Toner Bottle:

I love it soo much I use it all the time and now I will have to repurchase for my 3rd bottle! :)



As for the Skin MD Natural, I can't really show you how little is left since uhh, my Photography skills can't handle it hehe. This is also my second bottle already, and I have been using this every day since January and have never experienced any major breakouts. I really love what this is doing for my skin. I will definitely repurchase the Skin MD Natural again! (Hint hint to sister living in Singapore, Please buy me one again) Oh oh, because I love Skin MD Natural so much, even my dad uses it everyday too, his own bottle of course! hehe. So overall this family has consumed 3 bottles of Skin MD Natural, 2 from me alone. :)

I really love the feeling of being able to hit pan on products, It is good to know that the said products work for me. Although this won't stop me from continuing on looking for more products to try, who knows I may hit pan on those products too. :)


Toodles! :)

GRAFTOBIAN High Definition Color Palette in Warm 2

Hey girls, so another HD make up I bought from Steph is the Graftobian High Definition Color Paletter in Warm 2. I decided to get the palette instead of the single pots since:

1) I was having a hard time choosing which color would be best for me
2) Getting 5 colors in a palette would be perfect to just mix and match for different clients
3) A little goes a long way, the palette will last me a long time

The HD Cream is very very veryyyy pigmented! As you can see from the swatch the coverage is great! Mind you I used very very very little for the swatch. Also the consistency is like Cinema Secrets foundation. Smooth, silky and easy to spread. The only thing I noticed about this is it should be kept in a cool place otherwise oil settles on the surface of the product. But its pretty simple just put it in the fridge for a bit, take it out and store it back in your train case.

The swatches were done on my inner arm therefore it is at least 2 shades lighter than the shade on my face. So basing it from the swatch, Desert Sand and Golden Sunset are the closest shades to my face. So what I did was I mixed both colors together to see the outcome, and it seemed right. I couldn't swatch it on my face right then since I wasn't in the mood yet to put anything on my face.


There you can see Desert Sand and Golden Sunset mixed

I still have yet to see the different combination I can come up with using the 5 different shades. But it seems that the possibilities are endless. Weeeh! :) So later in the evening I had to go to a Christmas party, Perfect time to use my new products. Here's my FOTD using this palette.

Finally tried the Graftobian HD Pro Powder with this. I used it to set the foundation very very lightly since I didn't want heavy coverage and it was perfect!

Again you can get this palette at www.hdmakeup.multiply.com from Steph on hand! So yayyy! :)

Definitely worth it for 5 colors! Yayyy!
