Sansan Pressed Powder Haul

I first discovered Sansan Pressed Powders when I joined Game Ka Na Ba in 2005. This was used to set the VOV foundation used on me. Amazingly it looked good :)

I love Sansan Pressed Powders. It offers good coverage and it's very affordable. I'm personally using shade 3. Yeah, it smells like Chin Chun Su but surprisingly I don't break out when I use it.

I passed by HBC earlier today and I bought 3 pressed powders - shades 2,3 and 6 respectively. I already have shade 1 which i use for highlighting. Shade 2 is the medium shade and shade 3 is the darkest shade. Shade 6 is the pink shade (just in case I encounter someone with pink undertones).

They usually retail for Php 90 but I got each for Php 80. Not bad :)

These will serve as my alternatives for my Fanny Serrano two way foundies. Moreover this is ideal for makeup artists who deal with clients on a budget.

Blush Review: Sansan Champagne Temptation Collection in RSVPink and Peach O' Fame

Peach O' Fame

Shade 1: Peach O' Fame

Caveat: I bought the RSVPink way back in October. Unfortunately, one time when I was using it, it accidentally fell from my hands and the content disintegrated. I'll post the picture of the model using it instead of the swatches instead.

Pros:

Inexpensive (I got the Peach O' Fame on sale, Php 100)

highly pigmented

long lasting

bang for buck product!

Cons:

cheap looking casing

limited edition

hard to find
