Mega-bbox can leave anytime & trying to find out if the smaller bbox can be sent out separately coz I'm thinking to ship that one directly to you. ^,^<br />I think you can setup a pre-order list for Taiwan stuffs & I'll have them shipped to you directly in the smaller bbox. <br />p.s. I think you can afford GIVENCHY if you can afford Jill Stuart & MAC. bwahahaha...

If you want a quick pat over bare face, go for Shiseido Translucent or Givenchy Air Sensation Loose Powder Quartet. I'm using Givenchy now & the 4 diff powder shades in one blot are fun & helps correct skin coloring issues. I can't comment on JS as I've not tried it yet...<br />Rule No. 1 on NOT using a foundation for on the go is always make sure your face/skin is in tip-top condition. Then, a slight powder pat will definitely give you the oh-so-bare yet not-so-bare look. That means, lots of rest, water, fresh fruits/juices. Keeping handy oil blotting tissues is a big help, too.<br />BTW, I've also tried using Cover Girl Clean Sensitive Skin liquid foundation which is very light on the skin & works OK without finishing powder. I found out coz I forgot to bring the powder when doing my M/U in the car. haa... <br />^,^Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447703130959641287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477749520047718964.post-45497168119959740592010-04-07T05:36:31.217-07:002010-04-07T05:36:31.217-07:00I can get JS for you when I'm back in HK :) if...I can get JS for you when I'm back in HK :) if you run out of anything from them...Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249130998261327929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477749520047718964.post-30670343294525069672010-04-07T05:33:57.549-07:002010-04-07T05:33:57.549-07:00@Pammy I have a question =D when you apply the MAC...@Pammy I have a question =D when you apply the MAC blot powder, does it have a 'baby powder' like finish?

I can't get everything I want in one powder anyway since it's contradicting that I want a non cakey powder but at the same time I want an emergency foundation on the go... Hmmm... Maybe I can just get JS now since Bon's leaving Taiwan in 3 weeks and this is my last chance to buy Jill Stuart *cries hysterically* and then get another oil control powder later on when I have an income :)) Ooh, I'll also check out Benefit and Ettusais <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923494808575453032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477749520047718964.post-22570725795115469632010-04-07T04:16:02.144-07:002010-04-07T04:16:02.144-07:00Chelle, I haven't tried any JS products but MA...Chelle, I haven't tried any JS products but MAC Blot is one of the products that I swear by when it comes to oil control. :PPammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134403847101624079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477749520047718964.post-76261685048660658722010-04-07T04:03:18.135-07:002010-04-07T04:03:18.135-07:00Chelle, I think i'd buy 2 different products f...Chelle, I think i'd buy 2 different products for each use (one for blotting, settling makeup, one powder foundation for on-the-go occasions)! <br /><br />I think using a powder foundation (even if dusting lightly) might look cakey or very made-up ish, so if you're looking for oil control, try Ettusais medicated acne-control loose powder in Beige ( i have one and it controls oil very well, even if i don't have much acnes). <br /><br />so i'd say get the JS as a powder foundation, and get another oil-controlling loose powder from other brand! at least that's how I would do it. <br /><br />Hmmm another quick idea, I do use my Benefit HellO Flawless foundation for 2 functions, because it comes with two tools, a sponge and a small brush. <br /><br />I use the sponge to apply when I need full and flawless coverage; while I use the small brush if i want a light touch on my face (like applying foundation with a brush, but I'm NOT using the brush to apply after using the sponge). lol i think you can check this product out too! coz originally the sponge is meant to be used on specific areas i.e. undereye, and the brush is meant to be used on the whole face (with a light hand). I reallly liike this idea and the packaging with 2 tools inside, it's really convenient.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249130998261327929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477749520047718964.post-37116396805707192102010-04-07T00:54:25.036-07:002010-04-07T00:54:25.036-07:00@Bea Ooh thanks so much for the heads up! ^.^@Bea Ooh thanks so much for the heads up! ^.^Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923494808575453032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477749520047718964.post-19131702745417664752010-04-07T00:46:54.618-07:002010-04-07T00:46:54.618-07:00Make Up Mama posted a review about Maybelline Drea...Make Up Mama posted a review about Maybelline Dream Matte powder.
