Belleme Sky High Mascara – Review & swatches

Whatever I’ve tried till now from the brand has been good if not the best. This time, I am sort of upset.

Sky High Mascara
Let your lashes soar to dramatic heights with Sky High Mascara Long Lash formula!

• Jet black color and soft texture exceptionally coats and lifts up each individual lash one by one for the ultimate long lash look
• Dramatic lift and waterproof formula stays in place; won't smudge, flake, or fall even at the end of the day
• Curved wand helps you neatly reach to the roots of each lash
• Lightweight and comfortable to wear

My thoughts
To start off, the formula is a bit gooey and wet for my liking. It’s black which is good and it doesn’t smudge or flake during the day. It indeed lengthens my eye lashes as it claims to but the fact that it sticks my lashes together is incredibly annoying. I like the lengthening effect but despite several attempts, it failed to keep my lashes separated – such a bummer!

I have noticed that it does not thicken my lashes; it only defines them. This is certainly not a bad thing because sometimes I want my lashes to appear naturally defined – good for day time. It says its waterproof which kind of surprised me. Waterproof formulas make lashes stiff and are hard to remove. This doesn’t stiffen the lashes and washes off easily on the other hand.

Overall, I am disappointed. I just wish it didn’t clump my lashes together. 

You might like it if…

• You expect it to lengthen your lashes
• It defines your lashes
• You expect a black formula
• It doesn’t smudge or flake during the day
• It’s waterproof but it washes off easily

You might not like it if…

• It clumps lashes together
• You find the formula gooey and wet
• You expect it to volumize your lashes

Belleme Shimmer Base – Review & swatches

For myself, I like having a glowy makeup on instead of looking dead matte and dull. Despite being a fan of matte foundations, I never forget to highlight my face.

Shimmer Base
Step up hydrated, healthy looking skin with Belleme's new Shimmer Base!

• Light, spreadable formula can be applied under your BB cream or foundation, or mixed with your shaded product for one-step makeup base application
• Acts as a primer to create a perfect surface that will hold your makeup in place all day long
• Fills in pores and fine lines for the smoothest tone and texture
• Pearl sheen diffuses light across the skin's surface to give you a subtle, elegant 'glow from within'
• Balances moisture and oil levels and brightens skin tone to a clean, dewy finish

My thoughts
The shimmer base comes in a 30g tube. I love how it’s packed – it’s utterly adorable, isn’t it? The consistency of the product is thin but not runny so it won’t spill; it spreads and blends easily. Besides, the formula is hydrating, feels light and does not cling to dry areas on my face which is nice. I haven’t noticed any scent on it so basically, it’s fragrance-free.

Thankfully, it has no scary shimmer in it. The delicate shimmer only shows up as pink pearly sheen  which looks absolutely natural on my face. You could either apply this all over your face before your foundation or you could simply apply on top of your blush for targeted highlighting.

The product claims to act as a primer and pore-minimizer. Though it does provide a smooth base for makeup to spread on but I fail to agree with its pore diminishing pledge. It does not minimize my pores whatsoever or hold my makeup longer like other primers do. As a matter of fact, it makes my T-zone shiny after a couple of hours. If you happen to have combination/oily skin type, you might not enjoy it as much as ladies with dry/normal skins.

Overall, I like this. I know I would be reaching for this a lot when the weather is cold and dry out here.

You might like it if…

• You like dewy makeup
• You expect it to hydrate your skin
• It provides a smooth base for makeup
• It appears very natural-looking
• You have dry/normal skin type
• You are using this in a cold, dry weather

You might not it if…

• It doesn’t minimizes pores for you
• It doesn’t hold makeup for long
• You have combination/oily skin
• You are using it in a hot and sticky weather conditions

My thoughts
To start off, this concealer has a creamy velvety texture which I think makes it a fantastic pick for those who have issues with concealer accentuating lines or appearing dried up under the eye. Though it may not be as moisturizing in winter months or on very dry skin, it could be easily dealt with a moisturizer underneath. That being said, it could easily crease/sink into fines lines if not set.

The product comes in a plastic screw-top jar. It feels light but the amount is good enough to last you a long time. I noticed that it has somewhat of a citrusy soap-ish scent if you know what I mean. The good thing is that it’s very mild, almost undetectable.

I’ve got it in shade Medium which is perfect for me. It has a strong yellow tinge to it which I like because it helps conceal dark areas under my eye or any spots without much effort however, I couldn’t get a full coverage out of it despite multiple layering; it wouldn’t do much for you if you’ve got very prominent under-eye circles or if you expect it to completely mask major pigmentation. The good news is that it doesn’t cake and looks natural. It glides onto the skin smoothly, doesn’t tug and blends in easily which is the reason why I reach for it especially when I’m in a rush. I pat it with my finger after foundation and build up to the desired coverage. After that, I set it and I’m all ready! It stays put well through my working day but on a humid weather, I’ve noticed some creasing upon close inspection so I avoid using it when it’s too hot outside.

Overall, it’s a good product. I personally find it more suitable for dry to combination skin types.

You might like it if…

• It appears very natural-looking
• It glides over your skin effortlessly
• It covers your dark circles and spots well
• It lasts well through the day if set
• It doesn’t accentuate dryness on your skin

You might not like it if…

• It creases a little during the day
• You have extremely dark under-eye circles
• You have oily skin
• It only comes in two shades
