That Thing Called JAMSU

As a girl who lives in a humid country I always try to find primers, foundations or powders that would help me control the oil on my face. I can say that there are a few good products out there which can withstand the OILS of my face but honestly my wallet can't withstand them >.< So, I'm still on the hunt for new findings.

There's a new fad recently about a technique which won't hurt your wallet but promises matte finish for the whole day. That is Jamsu. Jamsu means diving or submerging in Korea. I believe this technique was first used by a Japanese blogger but it became famous in Korea thus JAMSU.

Steps:


  1. Prepare a sizeable bowl with cold water.
  2. Do you foundation and concealer as usual.
  3. Put an even layer of baby powder (if you have fair skin!) or your loose powder (your color tone) on your face.
  4. Submerge your face in the water for 30 secs. maybe 10-15 would be fine if you're on skin is dry.
  5. Pat the excess water from your face and continue with the rest of your makeup.
  6. Observe your skin throughout the day.

Thoughts:
  • The first time I tried this technique, I was HORRIFIED! I put on a baby powder so the finish was 2-3 lighter than my skin tone XD
  • When I used the correct color of powder the result was AWESOME!
  • My skin looked flawless and basically poreless for hours
  • Very minimal to almost none transfer
  • My face still oiled up after 5-6 hours but a small oil control sheet was enough to handle it.
  • Is it practical? Yes and no.
    • YES - You wouldn't need an extra expensive primer/foundation to achieve a long lasting flawless skin
    • NO - Who has time to prepare cold water everyday (especially when you're always running late for school like me -.-)
    • It is awesome for special occasions or when you have more time in the morning, but for everyday use, it's troublesome.
  • Atleast we can have another technique on our books to stay confidently beautiful with a heart (yes maka-ms. Universe!)

Glutatione Review: MET Tathione, Mosbeau Placenta White, Belo Nutraceuticals

Oh my GOSH! It's been two years since I last updated this blog. I remember when I first started I was just a college student trying to save up my allowance and do some light reviews of my fave makeups. Well, quick update, I've graduated from college, worked for a financial BPO company and then resigned. Still no boyfriend though >.< Aaaanyway, onto the Glutathione... As a kid, I grew up being morena and was usually teased by my family because most of my cousins and brother are mestizos and mestizas. Yup, that's me and my brother way back when we were really small. See the big difference in our complexion?  Over the years I've tried using different whitening soaps, lotions, sunblocks and umbrella to the max during summer, which paid off and helped lightened my skin. I was happy because of that but, I still had problems on my skin because I regularly had cystic pimples just popping up on my face and leaves marks that I thi

MET Tathione Glutathione Soap, Oral Supplement, and Lotion (New Formula) Review

Image
I am not new at taking oral glutathione supplements. I have tried a couple of products in the past and the deal with them is you HAVE to continuously take them to maintain their effect on your body. Luckily, it is safe to take glutathione for long periods of time. I have not had any bad experiences with glutathione brands I've taken before but I have to admit I was not a very disciplined user. I usually finish a bottle or two and then stop, then take another bottle and then stop again. I haven't taken anything for 8-9 months before I realized that my skin was not as supple as I wanted it to be and I started to see zits popping at my face. For the past 2 weeks though, I started to take MET glutathione. I tried this brand before and although I was not unhappy with the result, I was not very impressed too. But since I have been reading their new and improved formula, I went to the drugstore and bought a bottle to try it again, this time I bought the soap and the lotion so I ca
