Primer

Thursday, February 8, 2024

I'm back with another beauty product review, and I'm thrilled to announce that BMBM International's exclusive distributor of MQGQ Cosmetics has finally arrived in the Philippines.




I've been noticing this product popping up in my social media feeds, and I'm curious about Bangkok's popularity with it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that MQGQ is a plant-based makeup that is not only safe but also highly beneficial for our skin, particularly our face.





PRIMER



Now, let's discuss their primer. I absolutely love their packaging; it's so visually appealing and well-designed. I must say, this primer has truly impressed me! It's incredibly convenient to carry with you wherever you go. It's not contained in glass or plastic, but it's incredibly lightweight and easy to carry.



This product is great for achieving smooth skin and minimizing the appearance of pores. It also acts as a long-lasting base for your makeup, helping it stay put for hours. One more aspect that I appreciate about this primer is its pleasant scent!




SUNSCREEN LIQUID FOUNDATION + SUN PROTECTION + MOISTURIZER 




I was truly impressed with their foundation. Not only does it provide moisturization, but it also acts as a concealer with sun protection. There are numerous products on the market that offer this all-in-one package. However, one thing I really appreciate about this foundation is its delightful scent. And when you apply it, it doesn't feel heavy or cakey.



It's impressive to see that it has a sophisticated and durable formula that improves the adherence of foundation makeup while also softening and locking in the makeup's staying power. The delayed makeup fixation technology ensures that your natural makeup lasts all day.



This product offers a combination of chemical and physical sunscreen with SPF 25, providing effective protection for the skin against environmental pollution and damage.

Ethyhexyl methoxycinnamate is a type of chemical sunscreen.

Titanium Dioxide: A Physical Sunscreen




This product serves as both a foundation and a concealer, providing a smooth and flawless finish. It contains a moisturizer with a range of plant extracts, including burr hard walnut seed oil, moringa seed oil, and macadamia nut seed oil, which help to hydrate and nourish the skin.


VELVET LOOSE POWDER



I'm absolutely obsessed with their loose powder. Loose powder can be used to set any makeup look in place and can be used as part of the “baking” method in setting your foundation and concealer for all-day wear. If you're looking for a way to control shine and achieve a flawless finish, MQGQ Velvet loose setting powder is definitely worth considering. It has the ability to naturally mattify the skin and create a soft-focus effect.



I absolutely love how their Velvet Loose Powder gives off a radiant glow. Creates a flawless, radiant look that perfectly complements your skin tone. Prevents dryness. Get a flawless, all-day finish without any dryness. This product has incredible staying power, lasting all day without fading or smudging. With a formula that lasts for a full 24 hours, you can say goodbye to any shine, creases, or dullness. It effectively reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines, and dullness.



Well, I understand that there may still be some skepticism surrounding products made in China. Rest assured that this makeup is guaranteed to be safe and effective for use. It's clear why this product has gained such popularity in Bangkok, as well as throughout Asia and Western countries. And just to clarify, my opinion is not influenced by any collaborations with the brand.


The product's marketing could use some improvement, which is why we beauty b(v)loggers are here to review products like this. I would like to emphasize that MQGQ is a brand that you can trust.



Now available in the Philippines, you can easily get your hands on this product through Shopee Philippines or by sending a direct message to BMBM International's Facebook page.

When I'm just a little girl, I always begged to borrow my mom's lipstick. I mean, as a kid, I loved the idea of putting makeup on my face. For me, it was daring, bolder and more sophisticated. And that really motivates me, learning to put make up. That's why I join a group of makeup hobbyist and love to revisit that enthusiasm!

As far as makeup's concerned,  many of us only wear it because it's the norm, especially if you're working in an office, you socialized, meeting different kinds of people, that is to make a good impression with clients — to look presentable. We don't want to step outside into the world with barefaced, and someone will look at you and said,  "lumabas ka pa", you really leave the house looking like that?! But, honestly, as a mom now, I'm tired of putting makeup.

I find it hassle, especially if you follow the basic makeup procedures, putting on: the PRIMER, CONCEALER, and FOUNDATION. Annoying, right? Who wants to put makeup if you are in a hurry, like you have to attend first the basic needs of your family and work.

That's why, I accentuate my feature without hiding behind the mask of makeup. I am ok with a blush-on and a lipstick going outside. But, hey, wait! I've discovered something that will help us busy mom on how to drop the monotony of makeup.

A facial spa session happened 3 weeks ago, and I'm so privilege to try their Premium Products.

I was given two of their premium products, ABSORB & LUMINOUS to try at home.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Whether we're dealing with stressed-out skin and breakouts, face masks have become a go-to resource to deal with our skincare struggles.

There so many variety of face masks out there, but always be careful to choose the types that tailor to your specific needs.

VCE give me ABSORB.



What I like about this product is it can be use as a facial scrub and at the same time a facial mask. So there's no need to start stressing yourself out about the specifics. Besides, we all know how stress affect our skin!

You know the beauty ritual if you want your skin to be healthy and glowing. And as I said, going to spa or esthetician for a professional facial can be expensive. Fortunately, you can get the same benefits and results by exfoliating, steaming and facial mask at home using VCE Premium Products.

First, it's important to start with a clean face before exfoliate. Make sure you wash your face with a warm water and massage a cleanser that fits your skin type. Then rinse with lukewarm water.

Then just pat your face with a clean towel, but not necessarily to make it dry.

Apply ABSORB as a facial scrub, just put a small amount of water and gently rub it over your face. Massage it into your skin in upward circular motions for about 15-30 seconds. Pay attention to areas where the skin is especially rough, dry, or prone to clogged pores.

After massaging your face with a facial scrub, splash your face with warm water. Make sure to remove residue before patting your face with dry clean towel.


If you want to exfoliate without steaming and using a mask, follow up the scrub with a serum and/or moisturizer.


ABSORB as a facial mask, same as with your cleanser, it's very important to choose a face mask that suits your skin type.




Absorb is an organic charcoal clay like type mask, suitable for any type of skin that gently remove excess oil, treat acne, hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin.


Let it try for 15-20 minutes. Wash the masks off with warm water and pat dry. You can also use a dampen washcloth to remove it, since Absorb is a clay type mask. And use a clean towel to pat your face dry.

Facial Masks works gently by removing the outermost layer of your skin to relieve dullness and dead skin. This produces a smoother skin texture, and it can also help balance out pigmentation.




ABSORB is organic mask it has vitamin, plant-based and formulated with charcoal, antioxidants and botanicals. These are the key ingredients works together to reveal the glow complexion that we all crave! 

It's time to get facemask-friendly using organic VCE ABSORB.



Another product given to me by VCE is LUMINOUS.

After you removed the mask, splash your face with cool water and dry it. Apply Luminous as your moisturizer (it can also be your primer) .




You can use a toner before you apply the moisturizer if you want.

Finally, a beauty brand VCE recognize this by incorporating primers into their products. Good news for us especially working mothers always on the go, considering we don't have time to prime before we primp.

Luminous is a moisturizer that leaves a great dewy but semi-matte texture that's perfect for absorbing any makeup.




The answer to the moisturizing primer that absorbs excess sebum, reduces shine and moisturizes with botanical ingredients - perfectly moisturized primed base.




I highly recommend this product. It also has a brightening effect and anti-pollution agent.

I have a lot of pigmentation on my face. My children tease me sometimes that I have a lot of freckles. Hope as I religiously use Absorb & Luminous it can help me eliminate small pigmentation on my face.

NOTE: If you have a very, very sensitive skin you can feel a sizzling sensation (tingling or pricking of the skin) but tolerable.
