REFINETTE COSMETIC INDUSTRY: BRIDGING BEAUTY THROUGH SCIENCE (PRODUCT REVIEW)

DEAR DREAMERS

Shying away from my usual, not to mention sinful, lazy routine of applying baby powder on top of BB cream, today’s beauty post features a lightweight primer and compact cream with mineral powder from Refinette, one of the company’s I got to know at the Beauty and Wellness Manila 2016. This beauty post includes the products’ features, as well as my experience and thoughts of these makeup products. A video is included at the end of this post and if you are interested in starting your own makeup business, read on to find out how you can start your own makeup brand with Refinette.

Okay, so why did I say it was sinful? I was told before by an aesthetician that BB cream can clog my pores especially since I had oily skin, adding baby powder to do away with the shininess that was left by the BB Cream did not alleviate in keeping my pores unclogged. No matter how much of a convenience this routine was for me, I needed something with longer lasting coverage and more even results for the special events that I attend like the #EBloggers Ball.

HYDRAINTENSE SKIN BLURRING SERUM

A light serum that visibly transforms dull and wrinkled skin to flawlessly, smooth and healthy glowing skin in seconds and over time. The Water Burst Technology helps smooth fine wrinkles, reduces pore size and refines skin while improving its creases.

MY THOUGHTS

I used to apply primer back when I was in high school, it was a MAC primer I got from my brother. After using it all up, I was too lazy to bother with buying a new one, I always waited for my brother’s skin care and makeup hand-me-downs. Even back then, I already realized that using a primer really helps in keeping my makeup long lasting and more evenly applied.

MY EXPERIENCE

As a primer is supposed to, the HydraIntense Skin Blurring Serum minimized my pores in appearance. My skin felt smooth after application and it felt like nothing at all because of its lightweight feature. At first, I assumed it was water-based because of its consistency and lightweightness but after going through the ingredients, I found out that it was actually silicone-based. Having a watery consistency, it was fairly easy to spread all over my face without having to use a lot of the primer. After 8 hours, my makeup was still intact thanks to the makeup primer, based on my experience during the one of the events I attended.

SKINHD DOUBLE DEFENSE DAY CREME & MINERAL POWDER

With the luminescent qualities of pearl, the DD cream gives the skin a distinct radiance and glow while providing sunscreen coverage. The mineral powder is ultra-fine and lightweight, giving the skin a translucent matte finish.

MY THOUGHTS

Compact and handy, the SkinHD DD Day Creme & Mineral Powder comes in a cute container where you can separate the two makeup products as needed. Due to its compact size and handy features such as its accompanying mirror and sponge, this makeup product is perfect for travel or for touch-ups during daily routines. At first, I did not realize that I was using the famed DD cream, I did not realize that DD could also stand for double defense, which was why I was unsure whether or not I should be using my finger or the sponge to apply it on my face.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SKINHD DD CREAM

Looking at the photo above, you will realize that the photo is a bit darker. Under the light, the DD cream looks as if I am not wearing makeup, especially after blending. With just the primer and the DD Cream, the result was glowing skin. Compared to the BB cream I frequently use, the SkinHD DD cream felt and looked a lot less oily, it felt a whole lot lighter as well.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SKINHD MINERAL POWDER

The mineral powder had a lightweight feeling as well. Due to its ultra-fine properties, it does not appear cakey at all. It may be easy to blend but I prefer using a makeup brush rather than the sponge that comes with it.

FINAL VERDICT

As you can see in the video and the photo above, the end results show my skin looking smooth and glowing without giving the feeling of heavy makeup despite applying three different makeup products on top of my moisturizer. What I like most about it is the lightweight property of the three products combined. I find it perfect for everyday wear because of its easy application and long-lasting effects. I find it suitable for achieving the natural look, because it gives a fresh and flawless finish.

This photo is actually a sneak peak of my next beauty post, Features and Shades, where I also used these 3 Refinette makeup products as a base.
