Nature Republic Collagen HD Primer BB Cream Review

 Got this in search of the best BB creams in the market.Since Etude and Face Shop are some of the top korean branded beauty store so I tried Nature Republic.I'm impressed that all of their products use natural ingredients so I give it a shot to try it.The saleslady recommended me this tube because she said that it's one of their best-selling bb creams in their store called Nature Republic Collagen HD Primer BB Cream.I for got how much exactly ( I'm so sorry, :((( )...but one this is for sure, it's below 500pesos.





This one only have one shade and it's a bit lighter than my skin.I thought that the shade is perfect when I tested it to the store.What I usually do is I mixed it to my favorite moisturizer so it'll tone down the shade although from full coverage, it'll become medium coverage.I guess for the girls, you can put a little powder which is a bit darken.In short, this bb cream is perfect as a base makeup.


So sad this product doesn't have a moisturizing benefits.I thought that the collagen will help to hydrate my skin it it seems like it only works to make your skin look firmer and glowing.


I'm also sad that this product has a short staying power.After 3-4hours, it gives you a white cast when you take a picture.The pores becomes more noticeable so have no choice but to remove some excess oil and put some powder.


Final Verdict:

Nature Republic Collagen HD Primer BB Cream is a nice product for those who do makeup because it's perfect to use as a base because it's lighter but sadly not perfect for those who'll use bb cream alone.Frankly I consider this more as a liquid foundation because bb cream should have a moisturizing content but it doesn't.

P.S: I got an oily-dry combo skin type so this review so possible that this product might be suitable for those who have a normal skin,


Good thing about buying this is it comes with a trial sachet of some of their moisturizers like this one.I wanna try this snail solution 70.It seems like its a booming trend of using moisturizers that has a snail saliva or something.at first it's a bit slimy but I noticed a little improvement in my skin.

Blue Stripe Button Down Shirt



Its very nostalgic to wear this button down shirt because actually I've been wearing this since elementary and high school days.hahaha.My Mom got this from the thrift shop named MSM, its a thrift shop that sells pre-loved stuffs from the USA.They got some cool sneakers and furniture.

Overalls



I've been noticing the comeback of JUMPER...but right now its called OVERALLS.Some of the top retails stores are releasing this kind of garments to their latest collections like Forever 21 F & X.
.When I spotted this in the racks of my fave thrift shop, I snagged it right away for only 25 pesos.hahaha...Actually the original size of it is uber-huge so I went t my fave tailoring shop near us to have it alter for only 100pesos.Imagine, I only spent 175pesos to revive this which is not bad compare on buying a whole new one in a boutique for 1,700+ pesos.Besides in the few months it'll say goodbye again to the fashion scene.































Baseball Jersey Top

I noticed the apparent trend for baseball inspired garments especially for shirt and those with number signs just like the jersey uniform.So when I spotted this in the thrift shop for 25pesos, I never had a second thought so I grabbed it.I find it a bit huge so I'm planning to have it alter it.

Why It Feels So Good To Be Bad



I'm so not used on wearing just a simple shirt without any layering like wearing a vest.The location is actually a smoking area at the back of our office building in Ortigas Center.



Shot choreographed by my friend/officemate.I really don't smoke but for the sake of this shot, I just used Kai's cigarette to amp up the look as well as the shot...hahaha.
