Bioderma Sébium H2O

Slightly drying

I have combination skin, but it is not as oily others though it used to be when I was younger. I feel like my skin is now leaning more on the normal side as I get older (will be turning 27 this year!), but I still get the occasional oily t-zone. Whenever I use the Sebium one, my face feels dry and a bit tight and I have to spray a bit of toner mist on my face to keep it a bit hydrated. So I think this is GREAT for people with really oily skin, but if you are slightly oil I would stick with the Sensitive one, which I like a bit more.

As for the fragrance, I actually dislike it but to be quite honest, it is not that strong and it will grow on you. Although I would not have minded if it was fragrance free. I will continue to use until I ran out though I know this bottle will become especially handy during the summer when my skin tends to be a bit more oily.

Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation

  •  
  • 113

NC25 wth pink/neutral undertone

I actually got a few samples directly from the Koh Gen Doh websites (actually asked for some via their instagram account). =( I am so glad that I got the samples before I bought it! I originally thought I would be a 123 because of what a previous reviewer said. However, after trying both 113 and 123 on each side of my face and letting it sit for a bit, I realize that this foundation oxidizes a bit (give it a few minutes), making 113 the perfect shade for me. 123 ended up being slightly too dark, perhaps more of my summer shade.

In sum, the color difference before 113 and 123 is not that drastic. For me, I prefer to be a little lighter than darker and so I went with 113 since it suit my skin perfectly. Beside that, this foundation is amazing!! It feels like SKIN!! While letting the foundation sit to see if it would oxidized, I actually had to question myself if I was wearing foundation. It's that amazing!!
