Coola Rōsilliance Organic BB Cream Spf 30 Review+Swatches Part 2

June 12, 2017 / FASHION & BEAUTY / 0 comments

Hello Monday and Hello Guys! A couple of months ago I reviewed the Coola Rōsilliance BB Cream in light to medium shade which can be read HERE, also, I did a review of their amazing primer which can be also seen HERE. This time, we’ll be talking about the complete three shades and some additional reviews of the Coola Rōsilliance BB Cream Spf 30 (1.5 oz $52).

As what I’ve mentioned in my previous post, any Coola product is worth a shot and they’ve always been true to their farm to face concept with all-natural ingredients. By farm to face, I mean “organic” ingredients, not that you’re gonna turn into a cow. LOL. Their product’s quality is worth trying for, especially their Primers, Sunscreens and of course the Rōsilliance BB Cream. With summer just around the corner, this is a much-needed product because of its organic and vegan ingredients and is made out of plant stem cells. It also has a good Spf 30 and water resistant for 80 minutes. The scent is soothing and it gives a naturally luminous tint while protecting the face from the harmful rays of the sun.

Coola Rōsilliance BB Cream Light/Medium – It gives a very light tint that evens out the skin tone for anyone with fair to light-medium complexions. I love this a lot and it makes my skin glow subtly. Once blended, my skin looks slightly luminous and more balance, almost flawless to the appearance. An in-depth review can be found HERE.

Coola Rōsilliance BB Cream Golden – A great addition to the Rōsilliance BB Cream line since this shade adds a perfect golden glow that looks very natural and somewhat buildable. It comes off as slightly orangey on the bottle, but the real shade is like a very subtle tan that just gives enough warmth on the skin. This is so great for the summer especially if you wanna get rid of the snow white flat skin tone.

Coola Rōsilliance BB Cream Medium/Dark – This is a great contouring fluid if you have a light medium to warm medium skin tone, but you have to make sure that you don’t put a lot of it even if this shade has a very natural tint and can be easily blended out, so as to be on the safe side, you know. For dark medium skin tones and above, I’m sure this would be an ideal everyday natural coverage for you.

Bottom line, whichever shade of Coola’s Rōsilliance BB Cream you belong, I’m pretty sure it’ll blend naturally for you. I believe the shades are somewhat multidimensional and adaptable because it’s meant to provide a subtle tint on the face while not totally blocking the skin’s natural color. I love that this is such an all-in-one product, the kind that you’d normally take to the beach and know that you’re well-protected, but not looking washed out from the heat and humidity. I also like that it’s not sticky, it allows my skin to breath and I can do any activity with it no matter how much I sweat. And with its decent size and easy to dispense frosted glass bottle, there’s a reason why this is my ultimate summer vibe.

The Coola Rōsilliance BB Cream is available in the following stores: Sephora, Anthropologie, Credo, QVC, and coolasuncare.com

Coola Dawn Patrol Classic Makeup Primer Spf 30

May 11, 2017 / FASHION & BEAUTY / 0 comments

I discovered a new favorite makeup primer lately. It’s so perfect and just what I’ve always wanted in a makeup primer. Is it lightweight? Check. Has Spf? Check. Does it smell good? Yep. Does it make your makeup last longer? Oh yeah! Vegan? Definitely. Organic? You bet. Is it from Coola? You guessed it right.

Just like Nars and YSL beauty products, there isn’t a Coola product that I didn’t like. I love how there’s an element of care and thoughtfulness in their products. They’re cruelty-free, vegan and organic. You can only hope that most products nowadays should be made like that, but nope. Fortunately, Coola is around and you know that you’re getting a quality product with their sunscreens, primers and BB creams. This Coola Dawn Patrol Classic Makeup Primer Spf 30 is no different. Just like their Rosilliance BB Cream (reviewed HERE), this primer is simply amazing. I’m all about products that protect the skin, so anything with added Spf is a major plus for me, especially when I might have forgotten to apply either a moisturizer or a foundation. With that, a good primer with Spf add-on is a health saver. Unfortunately, that’s kinda hard to come by. Even the most popular brand of makeup primers doesn’t even add any Spf to most of their products.

What I like a lot about this transparent Dawn Patrol Makeup Primer is the scent. Most primers smell like silicon, but this one smells like Honeysuckle, Iris, and Lily. Slightly grassy too. The scent is never boring and the texture is silky smooth. A lot smoother than Smashbox’s. It feels very lightweight and hydrating at the same time. I love that it blurs my pores and it makes my foundation look even smoother. It may have a very slight silicon feel to it, but it doesn’t pill and it doesn’t irritate the skin. I swear, this is probably the best makeup primer I’ve ever tried. You will never notice the smell of sunscreen in this.

Another thing I enjoyed is that for 1 oz bottle at $42, you’ll get a lot of product in its glass packaging. Love the pump release for mess-free application. This will definitely last a long time and is a good investment if you’re a fan of makeup primers like me. On top of that, this is such a time-saver if you’re prone to skipping steps in your makeup application. Would I say that this is better than the classic Smashbox Photofinish Primer? Hmmm, let’s see… With the nice scent, smooth texture, practical sleek packaging, and added Spf, oh yeah, this is definitely a winner, no doubt.

The Coola Dawn Patrol Makeup Primer Spf 30 is available at Sephora and Ulta.

Coola Rosilliance Organic BB Cream Spf 30 Review

March 6, 2017 / FASHION & BEAUTY / 0 comments

Spring will be here soon and Summer’s not that far away. It’s time to grab your sunscreens and sun protectors! It’s gonna be a hot and humid summer. Times like that call for a very effective sunscreen, but sometimes ordinary sunscreens may give a thin white film on the face that it just doesn’t look natural. On top of that, a lot of sunscreens feel sticky and it gets worse the moment you sweat. I haven’t found a lot of good sunscreens nowadays that won’t make you look too white and won’t feel very sticky.

So instead of sunscreens, I usually opt for BB creams. They not only give good coverage to blur the imperfections on the face, but they also feel lightweight, natural and has Spf. I’m a huge fan of BB Creams because they’re like this all-in-one product that you can use without a fuss. But not all BB creams are created equal, some may have very light coverage, while some may not have enough Spf. Yet there’s one BB Cream that I’ve fallen in love with. It’s the Coola Rosilliance Organic BB Cream with Spf 30. Coola not only have one of the best sunscreens but also their Rosilliance BB Cream is a very good multi-tasker.

It has a very good coverage for a BB Cream, and it’s made of natural ingredients. It has validated rose stem cells and botanical stem cell actives that are great for anti-aging, plus Spf 30. The Rosilliance Organic BB Cream is also water resistant for 80 minutes. On my personal test, this BB cream remained water resistant even beyond 80 minutes, especially if there’s less humidity in the area. Basically, this cream stays on your skin for quite a long time. Now that’s a BB Cream.

It’s so ideal if you’re a person on the go and doesn’t have a lot of time do a complete makeup on the face, even more so applying a foundation. Also, my face didn’t have any untoward reaction with this cream, since it’s au-naturel.

The best thing about this BB cream is that it’s ideal for any skin type, whether oily, dry, combination or sensitive. It gives a very natural and luminous tint on the face while keeping it hydrated. I love it a lot because it makes my skin look healthy and glowy, and it can easily replace my medium-coverage foundation while still looking like I’m using one. You may even have to go easy on the contouring because this cream has very very fine shimmers that will definitely highlight the angles of your face. The texture is very lightweight and the rosy-herb scent is very pleasing. The coverage is light to medium but can be buildable.

With 1.5 oz for $52, you’ll get a lot of product in an easy to dispense bottle. Speaking of the bottle, the container is made of heavy glass and a sturdy pump, which I really prefer in most beauty products because it prevents any spillage.

If you’re like me who likes wearing lighter and more natural foundations and creams on the face while preferring time-saving products, then this Rosilliance Organic BB Cream by Coola will be beneficial for you. I’ve owned a lot of BB Creams, but there’s not a lot of BB Creams that can give you skincare benefits, very good Spf, hydrating, good coverage, lightweight and makes you look dewy and refreshed at the same time.

I definitely can’t wait for summer!
