l'egere waterdrop (pink) review

first of four reviews!



i did a quick review of my initial thoughts (color/scent) in THIS POST


TODAY:
i applied around 2:30PM.. went out to the farmer's market, nice cool weather outside. packed a few boxes, moved stuff into the new place, went to the carwash (my car was COVERED in ASHES!), vons for groceries, then home. 

a non-strenuous day, weather wasn't hot or humid so no sweating.


bareface. my breakout has calmed down already! :) yay. i guess i'm doing something right! hahaha. also my undereye doesn't look very happy o.o even though i got a good night's rest. do they look yellow/green? i can't tell the color T__T; really to me, they just look.. like a tanned version of me. ahha.



with l'egere waterdrop. i actually ended up using quite a bit more than i usually do w/ bb's because it got all over the cap and onto the sides (where it screws) and it annoyed me (yeeeea.. shutup hahah).. so i used a q-tip to clean it, then i used the excess that i cleaned off. 



with maybelline dream matte powder, contour and blush. i used concealer on my undereye (maybelline dual wand) but i didn't do a very good job, as you can see. i really like the texture of the maybelline wand but i don't think it works as well as my neutrogena concealer (which is thicker, more of a paste), which makes me sad. want me to do a concealer comparison? drop me a comment :D




face about 6.5hrs later (ignore the dark circles!). i didn't feel the need to blot at all but i tried a blotting sheet anyways and NOTHING! and i'd say my blotting sheets are pretty good (nuskin brand). my nose may look shiny but that's just.. my retarded nose. hahahah. i didn't reapply powder or anything, just took a pic. pretty good eh? 



so far, so good! i've added double stars next to it on my wishlist (lots of face items w/ double stars! eek). coverage isn't amazing but i'd say it's about MEDIUM coverage. i would say it helped tone down the redness on my face, felt really, really natural (almost like water). TWO THUMBS UP!

as far as the two l'egere bb's.. i heard the one in the white/silver tube has less coverage than the one in the pink tube (the one i reviewed).. but don't take my word for it :P



also been trying
- thayer's rose petal witch hazel
- korres wild rose moisturizer/cream 
(i'm on a rose kick, can you tell? hehehe). 

i really like the moisturizer.. sinks right in and i didn't have ANY dry patches at all when i woke up this morning. i haven't been using a proper moisturizer (figured my serums would be OK) in awhile so it was a nice change. plus it has a really, really nice scent to it :) it may or may not have been in my sephora order, HEHEHE. aren't you curious??

i also like the witch hazel though i've only used it a few times so i don't really know if it's helping with oil control, lightening scars, etc.. though i hear it's supposed to do both. the smell is rose.. but a different sort of rose. it smells EXACTLY like something i had back in middle school (not makeup or skincare related) so that was a fun trip down memory lane.




also debating on doing a contest look tonight.. we shall see! ;) 
hope you ladies are having fantastic days, where ever you are! <3

oOOoo it looks great on you!!! and i'm happy your breakout has calmed! you look just as cute w/o makeup! :D i think the bb cream does a good job with coverage for you and once you added the powder+blush, your complexion looks great! and the wear is awesome! no oiliness at all or oxidization--very nice! ^_^ i agree with Alyssa! i like that funny pic >:P

I like the NYX Concealer in a jar for under my eyes, but I heard the Clinique All About Eyes Concealer is good too! I have discoloration and MAJOR PUFFIES!!

I think you look great! Thanks for the review! LOL! You made me smile with that last pic! :)

Which contest are you going to do a look for? :D Pinks? Naomi's? Eki's? There's so many contests out there, I'm so curious! I'm glad you're liking the L'egere Water Drop. It looks very natural, looks nice in the photos :) I'm really liking the L'eger Multi-White, been using it for a few days, good stuff!

Edna said...

Thanks for entering my giveaway :) U r #1. The Legere Waterdrop sounds pretty good from your review. Do you like it more than the multiwhite?

Claire said...

Great review! :D

Good review~ It looks good on you!! Very natural~~ I think your dark circles are brown...? Mine are weird! xD

mayaari said...

nice review - coverage looks natural on you :) if you want a sample of the L'egere multi-white, send me your new mailing addy! (I have the multi-white and the water drop, and I think I like the multi-white more..actually seems to provide more coverage b/c it's not as runny as the water drop)

Yumeko said...

Kim said...

This looks really nice on you! Glad your breakout is already clearing up. :D

I'm so jealous you guys have nice farmer's markets. The one is La Jolla is ridiculously overpriced. =/
