Skinfood Wild Berry Morning Cream (and Peach Sake Mask Sheet)

    I realize I didn’t update on my trip to Skinfood (as you recall in my last post, they had a 50% discount on selected items). I totally forgot to buy lip balm, but I did stock up on Mushroom BB Cream. This time I bought shade #2 and found that it’s a much better match for my skin (it’s a bit darker than shade #1). It wasn’t on sale though. Poo.

    What I got on sale was Skinfood’s Wild Berry Morning Cream. It originally costs P800+ and I got it for only half the price. I’ve been on the hunt for a face moisturizer because I have combination skin: oily in some areas while dry in others. This particular cream is touted as both a morning cream and makeup base. 

Multi function in one product. Make-up base & Nutritive cream - Red and fresh raspberry extract that gives elasticity and vitality to the skin as well as the special pearl powder for healthier beautiful glow.

     It has a sweet fruity scent and I was advised to put it in the refrigerator for best results. Because of the pearl powder, I was a tad bit worried that I might end up looking too “sparkly” but it turned out that the shimmer was quite subtle if you didn’t put too much. And, really, as with most Skin Food products, a little bit goes a looong, looong way. Also, it’s other function is being a makeup base so, naturally, it goes under your makeup. So a sparkly glittery face shouldn’t be a cause for worry. I use it under my BB cream but it also works really well under powder (as testified by my mother).

     This cream is uber moisturizing and leaves your skin feeling really, really, soft and smooth. I absolutely love it and recommend it to those who are looking for a multi function cream/make up base to use in the morning.

      For my two purchases, I was given a choice between two freebies: Peach Sake Pore Essence Mask Sheet or Avocado Rich Essence Mask Sheet. I chose the Peach.

Essence mask sheet that controls enlarged pores and excessive sebum with peach extract and sake, Japanese traditional fermented liquor.

     I used it in the evening after I exfoliated with my home-made facial scrub. The mask is soaked with Peach Sake essence and after taking it off after 15 mins, my skin felt sticky. While I don’t think it did anything for my pores, it did leave my skin feeling much smoother in the morning. It’s nice, but I think I’ll take a look at their wash off masks after pay day. Or maybe at least until I pay off my remaining balance on my credit card bills. Heh.

     God. I’m a Skin Food addict.
