Review : [ 4U2 Series ] dreamGirl Together Double Blush

Here I am again for my 4U2 "mini" series. hehe I just made that up. But yeah, this is going to be the last product that I will be reviewing from the dreamGirl collection.
[ BB Cream review HERE. BB Powder review HERE. ]

I am not a blush person. I don't really mind if it's cheap or not, as long as it adds color to my cheeks it's all good. I pretty much use the same blush for a few months already, and I am fine with that. I can totally control myself when it comes to blushes. But when I bought the BB Powder from 4U2, the SA recommended this blush. This was the only shade available at that moment because all the other shades were already sold out. And this piece is pretty much the last one. So, I said okay. I got it! [ impulsive buyer, yeah?! Who can relate? :P ]

And the blush that I am talking about is the...
4U2 dreamGirl Together Double Blush


"Stunning color combinations for Formal or Fun. Micro fine for Easy On. Long Lasting. Be a dreamGirl! "

 Of course, just like the BB powder, it comes in a cute tiny packaging that makes it "kikay kit" friendly. It won't eat up a lot of space because its really compact. 
It also came with a mini blush brush that is really soft, but I never really use that.

I honestly don't know how many shades they have but mine is in No. 04. 
You get 2 blushes, in one. Good deal! :) 

1. MIX ; 2 DARKER ; 3 LIGHTEST

Here are the swatches on my fingers. Sorry, I forgot to swatch it at the back of my hand. 
The number 1 is the mix of the two blushes. Number 2 is the darker shade and the third one is, obviously, the lightest.
The lightest is a bit frosted, I think. And also have shimmers on it. The darker one have more shimmer than the lightest. When you mix them together, it turns out super pretty.
It will make your skin look "glowing."

And again, just like the other 2 products, the ingredients and other important details are on the packaging as well.

Let us now proceed to the PROS and CONS, shall we?! 

PROS♥
-- I like the color! Orange-y peach-y colors really compliments morena or dark skintones. 
-- I love that it's really soft and smooth. When you touch it, the texture is really amazing. 
-- I love that its a "2-in-1" blush. You can use any of the two or mix them together. 
-- It will leave a soft and smooth looking finish on your face. 
-- It has shimmers on it. But it won't make you look like a disco ball.  It will just give you an amazing glow. It will make your skin look healthier.
-- Good pigmentation. I like that it isn't SUPER pigmented so that I can control it more. 
--  It is affordable. I got this for Php 194.00 only. Amazing product for the prize!
-- You can see the ingredients and other infos on the box/packaging. 

CONS
-- It is always out of stock. You can find their counters on any Watsons, I believe. But yeah, I being always OOS is one downside. 
--  Some of the ingredients used are "harmful." It contains TALC, PARABENS and FRAGRANCE. 
-- It is a little bit chalky. 
-- I don't like that the brush does'nt have a "separate" compartment.
-- It has an "old" powder scent. Just like the BB powder. BUT it is tolerable for me. 

Will you recommend it?
Yes. I think for the price, this product is awesome. I like it more than I don't, so yes. :) I will. This shade, especially, I will recommend for those ladies who have morena or darker skin tone. :) 

Will you repurchase? 
I am not sure yet, honestly. NOT because I don't like it but because I think I don't need too many blushes. But if ever, I might check out the other shades. 

Overall, I love it. I don't use it as much as the first month though cause I think they're breaking me out. :| I am not sure yet though. I am still "experimenting" o what is causing my breakouts. Maybe just the lack of sleep. But yeah! I will keep you guys posted. 

I hope you guys enjoyed that! :) If you guys haven't my reviews on the other 4U2 products, here are the links. 

And here are the links of my 2 most recent posts. :)

July 2o12 Haul!

I didn't see this coming. HAHA Remember when I told you guys that I'm saving blah blah?!? Well, I am quite failing. GRABE! For the past few weeks I was really REALLY avoiding the mall. AS IN TALAGA! But today Chuchay needed her haircut and at the same time my family and some of my relatives from my mom's side decided to have lunch together. So, we went to SM [ Mall of Asia ] to do those. And I knew it! The moment I stepped on Watsons, its done! hehe. 


Have you guys experienced that? Once you started to buy one stuff, you just can't stop yourself anymore. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED! Lalo na sa Watsons!!! hehe I admit, I am an impulsive buyer [ most of the time ]. A little bit of sale stalk, then I'll be like YES, SURE, OKAY, I'll get it!  I think I have a serious problem here. hahahaha


ANYWAYS! Enough of the talking. [ nasarapan sa kwento! :D ] 
Let's proceed to my haul, yeah? :) 



So, those are the things I got. 
Muka ba kong nagiipon??!? SERIOUSLY?! :P 


I got 3 things from the brand 4U2. I only wanted to try their powder, but I end up getting 2 more! Congrats to me! hehe And the mirror is free. When you buy 3 products, I think you'll get 1 free mirror. 
Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore )

1.4U2 Dreamgirl Faith BB Cream [ Universal Color ] 
I bought this because the lady there "sales talked" me. haha I don't know if that makes sense. She said it's a nice base for the powder and blah blah. We'll see. 
So, I think it is only available in just 1 shade. It retails for Php 184.00 .

2.  4U2 Dreamgirl Lovelight BB Powder [ number 3 ]
Available in 3 shades, I believe. I got it for Php 194.00

And then I remembered that I really want to try out the Lory's hair cream thingy, so I went to the other Watsons near the cinema to get it. But I ended up buying a few more stuffs. HOORAY! hehe
Nichido lashes and Fashion 21 lashes and empty cream jars from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore )

I got it for Php 79.75

14. Nichido sponge 
I got this for my Kokuryu foundation. I don't even know why I need to bought one! hehe 
It cost me Php 40.00 


15. Solemate shoes ( department store )
Buy 2 pairs for Php 399.75
So, I have another FAIL story for you guys. I am normally size 8 or 8 and a half. I tried the brown one there, and they only have size 9. They look pretty decent. Not too big at all, it looks perfect when I tried it on. And then I looked for a newer pair, cause the one I tried has some little damage. And then the blue floral one is also size 9 and its a perfect fit! 
When I got home, I tried it on and the brown is TOO big for me already! It's impossible. And it made me sad. So, I just gave it to my younger sister who has a bigger size than me. BUMMER!!! 

So, that's it for my UNEXPECTED haul. hehe I enjoyed shopping, YES. But I don't feel good being an impulsive buyer. Sometimes it makes me realize how UNIMPORTANT some of the things I bought are. I still need to learn to control and be wiser. Especially every time I go inside Watsons. There's just something about Watsons that makes me feel like I need to buy something every time I go there. And it isn't good. I really want to kinda change that. 
:) 

Do you guys ever feel that too? COMMENT BELOW! Let's chat! :)
