Sunday Swatches: Super Pale Products

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be finishing up my Sunday Swatches series with a set of super pale product swatches! This has been highly requested along with a comparison of the Missha BB Cream's, Skin79 Green BB Cream and NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia!

The first set of swatches are my everyday wearable products. There are a couple of products that I'm trialling that would probably make it into this category, but I don't have enough product left to swatch, so they don't make the cut!
 
1; Phoenix - White Foundation 
2; NARS Sheer Glow - Siberia
3; MAC Studio Fix - NW10
4; NYX Stay Matte but not flat - Ivory
5; Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - No.13
6; Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream - No.13
7; Missha Art Designing Foundation - No.13
8; Skin79 Green BB Cream
9; Bobbi Brown Cream Compact - 00 Alabaster
10; Maybelline Fit Me Foundation - 110 Ivory
11; Rimmel Match Perfection - 010 Light Porcelain
12; Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free - 110 Ivory
13; It's Skin BB Cream - Silky
14; Etude House Mineral Any Cushion - No.02
15; Hanskin Silky Treatment BB Cream
16; Heroine Make BB Cream - Light
17; Revlon Colourstay - Buff
18; Revlon Photoready - Vanilla
19; Skin79 Orange BB Cream

This next set of swatches are the products that are on the very pale side. These shades work well with my skin and even make it possible for me to bronze and contour without looking like an orange! ^.^
1; Phoenix - White Foundation 
2; NYX Stay Matte but not flat - Ivory
3; NARS Sheer Glow - Siberia
4; Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - No.13
5; Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream - No.13
6; Skin79 Green BB Cream
7; Bobbi Brown Cream Compact - 00 Alabaster
8; MAC Studio Fix - NW10

The last swatches are close ups of the two Missha BB Cream's, Skin79 Green BB Cream and NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia. Nars Sheer Glow is the palest and warmest toned foundation I own, Missha Perfect Cover is lighter than Missha Signature Complete, but pinker than Nars Sibera, and Skin79 Green is slightly darker than Missha Signature Complete. They all oxidize very closely to my skin tone making it hard to tell the difference between the colours, but the Skin79 Green BB still remains the darkest.

I hope this Sunday Swatches session was helpful for you princesses! ^.^ Feel free to share these swatch pictures - but please put a link to this post if you do share! If you have any requests for swatch posts, just leave a comment down below and I'll do my best to help you out. I've been thinking about doing blush or lipstick swatches, does anyone want to see those? ^.^

Sunday Swatches: CC Cream Swatches


Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be showing you some CC Cream swatches! ^.^ I have two sets of swatches to show you today, because I recently acquired testers of two more CC Creams, but I had used up one of the other tester sets! 

Some CC Creams are designed to adjust to your skintone - so I did some swatches on my baby sisters arm since she is a lot darker than I am! Click to enlarge the photos!   

(Medium skintone)

Missha CC Cream - Beige
Missha CC Cream - White
TonyMoly Luminous Live Aura CC Cream
TonyMoly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream
Etude House CC Cream - Silky
Etude House CC Cream - Glow 

(Extra Light Skintone)
(Oxidised in sunlight)
Even though these CC Creams look super dark and orangey, I can still make them all work for my skintone with enough effort!

(Indoor Swatches)
Etude House CC Cream - Glow 
 Etude House CC Cream - Silky
TonyMoly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream
TonyMoly Luminous Live Aura CC Cream
Missha CC Cream - White (Miss-named on the picture!)
The Face Shop Aura CC Cream - No.02
Clinique CC Cream - Very Light 


I'm super keen to try out The Face Shop Aura CC Cream in the shade No.01, but since the shade No.02 was given to me for free I can't complain too much! ^.^ I hope this Sunday Swatches session was helpful for you princesses! ^.^ Feel free to share these swatch pictures - but please put a link to this post if you do share! xx

Sunday Swatches: BB Cream Swatches

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be sharing my long awaited, updated BB Cream collection! Ever since my first BB Cream For Porcelain Princesses post (which now has over 15k views, oh my gosh) and has been shared on so many different websites including Reddit MUA and Reddit Asian Beauty and I've really got to thank you princesses for sharing my posts around! The more you guys share, the more buddies we get, and the more I can help other Porcelain Princesses sharing my struggle to find that perfect BB Cream or Foundation! ^.^

I'm actually really irritated, because I photographed this swatch session, and then a couple of days later my Skin79 Orange and Green BB Cream's turned up! -.- Oh well, perhaps I will just make a "pale BB cream" or "pale products" swatch post soon!

I also didn't do close up photos like I did on the other Sunday Swatches posts because I thought they would be clear enough to see in one photo :S Turns out not so much! I've linked all of the reviews that I've done on the BB Cream's I own down below! ^.^

Sunday Swatches: Volumer Swatches

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be showing you my collection of Volumer samples! Volumers can be mixed with a foundation or BB Cream to give you glowy and dewy skin, and they can also be used as a highlighter! The Etude House Nymph Aura Volumers are incredibly popular, and since there are three different types I thought it would be helpful to swatch them so that you princesses can compare the different colours, textures and effects!
TonyMoly Luminous Goddess Aura Beam
Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer 1
Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer 2
Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer 3
 
Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer 2 is definitely my favorite out of all of these volumers, (it reminds me of Benefit High Beam), and Etude House Nymph Volumer 1 is my least favorite! (It's super super sticky :S)

I hope this Sunday Swatches session was helpful for you princesses! ^.^ Feel free to share these swatch pictures - but please put a link to this post if you do share! xx

Sunday Swatches: Concealer Swatches

Hello Princesses!


Today I'm going to be showing you my collection of Concealers! ^.^ A couple of these concealers are actually more like highlighters (YSL and MAC) but I use them to brighten my under eye area and conceal my baby dark circles, so I thought I would include them in this post! 
(This swatch of Meow Cosmetics Concealer isn't very good - check out the bigger swatch for a more accurate photo)

1 - Meow Cosmetics Concealer - Himalayan
2 - Meow Cosmetics Undereye Concealer - Himalayan
3 - Meow Cosmetics Concealer - Bengal
4 - Meow Cosmetics Undereye Concealer - Bengal
5 - Meow Cosmetics Concealer - Angora
6 - Meow Cosmetics Undereye Concealer - Angora
7 - Art Deco Camouflage Cream - 2
8 - Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat - 02
9 - MAC Prep + Prime - Radiant Rose
 10 - Maybelline Mineral Power - Ivory
11 - MAC Pro Longwear - NW13
12 - TonyMoly Baby doll pot concealer - Light Beige
13 - Moisture Mist  Circle Lightner - 251 Pale
14 - Dermal Cover Camouflage Makeup - Paradise
15 - Natio Young Camouflage Tinted Spot Cream
Woohoo concealers! My most used concealer is actually MAC Prep + Prime - Radiant Rose, which you might think is a weird choice since I have yellow toned skin, but the pink colour brightens a lot more effectively than a yellow colour, and also helps to give my face a bit of colour (not unlike using a blusher!)
 I hope you Princesses enjoyed this post! Feel free to share these swatch pictures - but please provide a link to this blog post if you do! xx

What sort of swatches would you like to see next?
