Whenever you come across the brand, Neutrogena, first thing that comes to mind is skincare and bath products. Personally, I love their Facial Scrub and Alcohol-Free Toner. These products played a huge role in keeping the breakouts at bay while my skin adjusted to the cold, dry climate of Australia, where I had spent the holidays. However, having found out that the brand also has several makeup lines a year or two ago, I’ve been itching to give them a test run. I wanted to know if I’d be happy with their makeup the same way I felt towards the Neutrogena products I’ve already used. So, it’s a bit frustrating that the these products still haven’t reached Philippine shores.

My luck changed one Saturday afternoon when I finally found myself stepping out of the elevator and entering the posh main function room where a small group were gathered to enjoy a tea party hosted by TameraOnline.com. As promised, I’m now here, happy to report on a couple of beautiful things that came out of my time there.

First up is the small beauty gift from the generous host:

Neutrogena
Mineral Sheers
Liquid Makeup in Natural Beige (60)

One silky brush makes all the difference. Introducing NEW Neutrogena Mineral Sheers® Liquid Makeup SPF 20, a light, airy, and vitamin-enriched liquid mineral makeup that glides on smoothly for coverage so flawless, the world will notice you, not your makeup. Just one click of the innovative, flow-through brush will bring you lightweight, sheer-to-medium buildable coverage that glides on seamlessly and blends effortlessly for a flawless look every time.

Clinically shown to increase skin’s natural luminosity, Neutrogena Mineral Sheers® Liquid Makeup SPF 20 is formulated with a healthy blend of pure and gentle dermatologist-selected minerals and antioxidants that actually improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. This foundation works well with all skin types, even sensitive or dry skin.

* Dermatologist developed
* Oil-free
* Fragrance-free
* Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
* 0.5 fl. oz.

Now, I’m looking forward to try this baby out. I’m esp curious about the brush applicator. Apparently, the foundation comes out and appears on the brush by just twisting it. I’ll probably fill you in on how to use this thing as soon as I’ve tried it out myself. It has big shoes to fill, though, because I’m so loving my current liquid makeup, Intervene by Elizabeth Arden but I’m giving it a chance to show me what it can really do, wow me with its own personal magic. I’ll post a full review as soon as I get to try it out and have finished collating all my notes.

Next up is a little something out of my own shopping bag.

Fresh off the display, I had bought me a new blush. I’m currently in the market for blushes, you see. I’m looking to add more to my current cheek colour palette. I love blushes. Er, next to lippies, that is. Hehe.

Neutrogena
Soft Color
Blush in Divine Wine (90)

Soft Color blush delivers a soft veil of color that creates a healthy, natural-looking glow.

It glides on with no unnatural streaks or heavy color for healthy-looking skin. This dermatologist-developed formula contains Pro-Vitamins B5 and Vitamins C and E to help soften and condition skin.

Skin looks healthy and naturally radiant.

If there’s one thing that I’d suggest to all the women out there, it’s for them to drop the fear of wearing blushes. Don’t you want to look radiant and healthy? The blush helps you achieve that. Superficially, anyway. A good skincare regimen always, always comes first and makeup is just a tool to highlight what’s already beautiful. At least, that’s what I believe. Anyway, I’ll work on the full review as soon as give this blush a test run.
