Fairy Drops Vanilla Puff Mineral Powder Review


Hi there!
Today I want to share with you this product that I absolutely love~
Fairydrops Vanilla Puff Mineral Powder
They are amazing!

I had done a review for the Fairy Drops BB Cream almost exactly a year ago and had loved those too.
Fairy Drops is a brand developed by a Japanese newscaster that wanted to look flawless all the time~
It is probably one of my favorite brand because it works wonders~ in person and photos

Claims:
Micro-gold Pearl hides scars and freckles without a shiny-effect
99% natural mineral powder
Lasts all-day long leaving you with a flawless-looking face
Squalane oil moisturizes the skin.
Deliciously Vanilla-scented.

The mineral powders comes in 4 shades 
but I have 3 that I'll review for you~

The packaging is so adorable!
It's convenient to take on the go for touch ups, the lid even has a mirror~
It comes in a Puff container; however I don't like using it since I think it can absorb the sweat, oil and dirt that way. However, it can be taken out and washed, but that's a little bit time consuming.




 I just unscrew the top part and use a brush to apply the powder.



The powder has a strong Vanilla scent (like the liquid vanilla that you use in baking)
I have used mineral or face powder that had a weird smell but this smells great! 
It might bother some people but after a while it goes away.
I seriously can't find how much product it has inside -.- sorry.





Once blended the powder gives off a bright semi-matte finish.
It feels absolutely silky and smooth to the touch and doesn't accentuate the dry patches on my face.


Soooo silky smooth~
I'm still trying to find a powder that feels as good as this(without hurting my wallet).

Pros:
Does everything it claims
blends well to match skin tone
works well with bb cream and foundation
Healthy Looking skin without looking caked on!


Cons:
PRICE!! goes up to $30 (ouch)
Availability (hard to find/not many sellers)~
not advisable to wear alone, but with BB cream, foundation, etc.

In conclusion:
I really wouldn't buy a product that is this expensive if I don't really like it, BUT
I love this so much that I would repurchase it again once I run out.
I love the texture and the feel and how flawless it looks.
Honestly, the times I get complimented the most is when I use this LOL

Do you know any powders that feel so silky smooth, looks great and don't cost that much~
Please do share!

thanks for reading!

Naive Cleansing Lotion/Oil



I absolutely LOVE this product! it melts away all my makeup. i'm so glad i decided to pick up a bottle!


i use it in 2 ways.
if i am wearing a lot of makeup i use a cotton pad and a q tip for removing eyeliner
carefully and gently not to get it in my eye since it does have oil in it and other ingridients.
or
i just pump some on my hands and massage it all over my wet or dry face.
then i rinse away!


since i have really sensitive skin, i have to be careful on what i put on my face, so i always read the ingredients list.
it has different kinds of fruit extracts including Grapefruit and Peach. it also has Salicylic acid which is known to help with acne, blemishes and pimples, but i have yet to see some changes, and it probably only has a little in the product.
i purchased this for $13 at a Japanese Supermarket.

demonstration:

i put cream shadow, waterproof liner, eyeshadow and mascara on my arm and left it for an hour.
put some on a cotton puff

let it soak for a second
after one swipe

AWESOME!!! specially when you're in a hurry to sleep

i will definately repurchase this product once it runs out :)
