Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Kao Sofina Primavista Ange was launched in 2013 as a sub-line of Primavista, and the launch lineup featured Powder Foundation UV (Long Keep). In 2018, Powder Foundation (Long Keep) was released and it replaced the original version. (The new version does not have “UV” in its name.) Even though the original version is not one of my favorite powder foundations, it works decently well for me. I decided to try the new version, and today I will be comparing the two.

Canmake‘s Marshmallow Finish Powder is among the brand’s most popular products. I got curious about it partly because I came across many positive reviews of it over the last few years and partly because I really liked the marshmallow-y matte finish of the brand’s Mat Fleur Cheeks. I decided to give it a try, and I went for the shade in ML (Matte Light Ochre).

Earlier this year, Shiseido ZA‘s Airy Flawless Powder Foundation was renewed. (Read my review of the original version here.) Based on the official information I found on-line, it was not obvious to me how the new version was supposed to be different. (The descriptions of the features of the two versions were virtually the same, and it seemed to me that the main difference was just the packaging.) To know whether there was any actual difference, I decided to try the new version and compare the ingredient lists of the two versions.

Ever since Pidite was launched in 2015, I have been interested in the line. The style of packaging instantly grabbed my attention, and then I decided to try a product or two from the line. It seems that some of you are interested in the line as well, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on Clear Smooth Powder.

Shiseido ZA‘s Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation was replaced by Airy Flawless Powder Foundation a couple of years ago. Being a faithful fan of ZA’s powder-based foundations, I decided to try it.

I got a sample of Jill Stuart‘s Everlasting Silk Powder Foundation Flawless Perfection a while ago and I have been testing it. I also got the case for the foundation (Powder Foundation Compact EP) and there are photos of it towards the end of this post.

I rarely use liquid foundations as they tend not to suit my oily skin. However, I got curious about Primavista Ange Liquid Foundation UV (Long Keep) and I decided to try it mainly for research purposes.
(For a brief profile on Primavista Ange, read my review of the line’s Powder Foundation UV (Long Keep). I have also reviewed Long Keep Base UV, possibly the line’s most popular product).

Launched in 2008, Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation was originally formulated to be used after cosmetic surgeries and cosmetic procedures. It is claimed to provide a natural, complete, and breathable coverage. In a way, the original purpose of this product is similar to that of a B. B. cream. (The product is not claimed to be or marketed as one, and I will go back to this later on.)

I have been using Shiseido ZA‘s powder foundations for a long time, and I have been using ZA’s Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation (launched in spring 2010) since 2011. In fall 2012, Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation was launched and it replaced Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation. I decided to try it out.
