Krave Detox and White Minerale Mud Masque: A Review

I just recently updated my skin care and another Krave product was added. It is the Krave Detox and White Mineral Mud Masque. To break the record, this is actually the first ever face mask that tried.

Krave Moisture Souffle Night Cream: A Review

Moisturizers are our skin's best friend they say, and I totally agree! Having a combination to oily skin needs thorough and careful treatment. According to beauty experts, they are actually the hardest skin type to manage. Every skin type needs to be moisturized, even the oily ones. Our skin tends to be oily because they produce more oil to compensate with our skin's dehydration. So like out throats, we have to let them drink.

I have found a new brand of organic skin care and cosmetics through the internet. Basing on the experiences of others, I decided to try it to. And now, my skin loves Krave Minerale Cosmeceuticals makeup and skin care!

One thing that I am loving is the Krave Moisture Souffle Night Cream. I got it for Php320.00 for a 20-gram cream.

According to Krave's product description:

MOISTURE SOUFFLE night crème infused with GAPBAS (Green tea, Apricot, Papaya, Banana, Aloe vera & silk)

NO IRRITATING CHEMICALS
NO HARMFUL PRESERVATIVES

This is the most luxurious moisturizer you will ever find. We encourage you to enjoy the yummy scent of this product because of the many essential oils infused in it, unlikeother expensive brands that obtain their product’s scent by using chemically based preservatives & perfumes. You know how we hated those harmful & irritating chemicals. Moisture Souffle night crème smells luscious & feels incredible when applied. Replenished with 6 organic botanicals high in Vitamin B complex, folic acid, Vitamin C, vitamin A to help detoxify, supplies skin with sheer hydration & stimulate cell growth. Perfect for super dry skin that lacks moisture & balance, for the reduction of fine line & wrinkles & to even out skin tone. This moisturizer like soufflé will keep your face looking healthy & more radiant. 

SKIN BENEFICIAL KEY INGREDIENTS:

1. GREEN TEA contains a cocktail of potent antioxidants called catechins, which help fight damage caused by free radicals. Helps soothes and revives dull & lifeless skin.
2. APRICOT eliminates skin blemishes & treats damaged skin. It is useful for maintaining skin clarity, suppleness, and elasticity.
3. PAPAYA exfoliates the skin revealing a healthier, whiter & glowing skin. Rich in antioxidants such as vitamin A.
4. BANANA composed of tissue-building elements, protein, vitamins including vitamin C, minerals & anti oxidant properties.
5. ALOE VERA It makes the skin smooth and glowing, hydrates the skin and relieves heat on the skin caused by sunburn. Excellent skin moisturizer.
6. SILK deeply stimulate the muscle tissue, retain the skin's natural moisture, preventing dryness, while absorbing excess sebum. For the acne prone, silk even contains anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

APPLICATION:

Apply evenly on your face & neck. Do not over apply, little amount is always enough. Massage gently in an upward motion. Best to use after using CUPINE ALOEPA facial wash & FRUITTIE PORELESS toner spray. Gentle to use every night and even before applying your make up. 

It is in a plastic container with a twist-open cap and another cover inside. The packaging is like the other creams, nothing so special about it. 

The cream is thick but it doesn't bother me. It actually gives me an assurance that the consistency actually helps lock in the moisture and I was right. It feels heavy on the skin at first, but wait til it dries and absorbed by the skin. My skin feels so soft and supple when I wake up. My skin doesn't look dull rather it gives it a healthy glow. 

One thing I love about it is the scent. It smells like ummmm.. close to Bath and Body Works' Warm Vanilla Sugar. It's so yummy, like I want to taste it. Haha.

 This is how it looks on the back of my hand. So thick and opaque.

After applying it evenly on the skin, it doesn't look like you have something on it. But the skin is soft and super bango!

I also use this as my morning moisturizer. Since it is intended to be a night cream and they do not have a day moisturizer  I first asked Krave's specialist if I can also use this as an alternative. Gladly, it was okay. But I still requested them if they can formulate a day-moisturizer. So I apply a lesser amount on my face in the morning. The effect was good. But since it leaves my skin a little shiny, I apply Krave Skin Hydrator and Eliminator (REVIEW) as my powder/ primer/ finishing veil. After that, everything was perfect! And for maximum results, I use Cupine Aloepa Facial Wash and Fruttie Poreless Toner.

• HITS: Scent | Consistency | Moisturizing effect | Can be purchased online (Krave Minerale Cosmeceuticals or Women's Little Pleasures)
• MISSES: The packaging: I wish it will be in a pump container or in a tube (for hygienic purposes) | Price: Quite expensive
• RATING: 4.5 out of 5.

Do you have an oily-combination skin like me? If yes, what moisturizers work perfectly for you? Kindly share your facial routines, it might work for me as well. Thanks!

Stay Oil-Free with Krave Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator

I finally got a hand on this raved about product from Krave Minerale Cosmeceuticals, the Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator with Pearl Powder.

Product claims:

HYPOALLERGENIC
NON- COMEDOGENIC (won’t clog pores)
NON-ACNEGENIC (won’t cause acne break outs)
NANO PARTICLE FREE

We highly recommend Krave Minerale’s OIL ELIMINATOR and SKIN HYDRATOR not just for oily gals but for all make up users out there.

OIL ELIMINATOR and SKIN HYDRATOR is translucent so it won’t interfere with other mineral makeup colors you are wearing. Plus, it is specifically formulated to virtually erase the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles & large pores when applied.

SKIN BENEFICIAL KEY INGREDIENTS:
Our formula includes 2 of the healthiest ingredients:

1. PEARL POWDER that aids in healing, skin brightening, anti-wrinkling, and sun protection. It also exfoliates the skin and promotes new cell regeneration.

2. SODIUM HYALURONATE the world’s powerful skin hydrator which brings balance to your complexion & keeps your make up application fresh all day long.

Who wouldn't want an oil-free face? So I told myself I have to try this one and test it on my super oily face. It costs Php285.00 for 3g of product. Not bad right?

The container may cause a bit mess on your vanity tables since like the other loose powders, it is in a plastic container and a twistable cover. There is a plastic semi-cover with holes in the middle. Sorry, I am a noobie when it comes to packaging but you know what I mean right? Haha! It also has a powder puff inside however I was not able to take a photo of it since I am not a fan of powder puffs. I discarded it immediately and used a powder brush to apply it on my face. (I guess I have to work on that to give a more detailed post.)

Not blended.

Slighltly blended.

What I love about this is this is not an ordinary powder so it does not give your face a cakey look after applying it. I guess it's because of the pearl ingredients in it. It gives the face an instant matte finish without adding any colors on the face. Since I am not mestiza, this works perfectly for me. I don't have to worry about my face looking whiter.

I personally use this as a primer and a finishing veil. Whether, a liquid foundation, a BB cream or a powder foundation, I apply this first after my moisturizer and use it to set my face base concentrating on my T-Zone.

And the product is true to its words. Before using this, I usually gets oily after an hour of two, can you imagine how oily my face is? But with this, my face stays oil-free for almost five hours. Less touch-ups are thumbs up!

I am definitely going to stick to this one. I have also started using their skin care product which are also organic and helps reduce face oiliness.

You can get this amazing product at Krave Minerale Cosmeceuticals or Women's Little Pleasures.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

KRAVE CUPINE ALOEPA Facial Wash. I love this facial wash primarily because it is made from organic products. With Mulberry leaves, Cucumber, Pineapple, Aloe Vera and Papaya.

 KRAVE FRUTTIE PORELESS Toner Spray. Like the facial wash, this toner is also organic. With watermelon, Cucumber and Aloe Vera.

KRAVE MOISTURE SOUFFLE Night Cream. Even if it states that this is a night cream, I still use this as my day moisturizer, just a little however. With Green Tea, Apricot, Papaya, Banana, Aloe Vera and Silk.
