This brand I believe deserves some recognition for a cover all type of makeup. Currently available online (check online stores which also has physical stores). This is a creme foundation of Dermacol came from the Czech Republic. It has the extreme full coverage foundation and I believe it covers better than my current foundation. I decided to use this foundation last December when I experience a major skin break out posted here.
I skip most of my existing makeup for the face during that time and look out for something else favorable for my skin condition and sure is a hypoallergenic one.

The license for this foundation was eventually sold to Hollywood. It contains 50% pigments, which makes it a weapon against skin imperfections.

The product comes with a tube made of golden aluminum with shades 207-224. You may use the cap to pop the tube.
The product is not easy to blend like the other foundations since the consistency is too thick and creamy. You may mix it with a moisturizer or primer for easier blending and if you prefer a medium coverage.
I got the shade in #210 and notice it was light for me.
THOUGHTS:
Creates a flawless look and love the coverage
Needs to moisturize if you have dry patches
A small portion goes a long way.
Lasts for several hours if staying cool indoors but not recommended for outside use especially during summer
Creates a dewy matte finish
It transfers easily
Settle into lines unless I set it with powder
The product contains too much oil, I noticed it when transferring few cream on my travel jar. Too much oil from foundation usually makes the product stick to skin longer BUT may cause breakouts to others.
I didn’t break out from this product for almost 3 weeks of using it. However, I just can’t use it for this summer because it’s too hot in Manila and you might see me always wiping my skin to freshen. I might recommend this for people who’s always staying cool indoors like office, but not for
Since I started roaming streets of Binondo and trying out different fast food, we’ve been always served with Jasmine tea (than water). I just remembered YingYing Tea House for their Jasmine Tea. And that started my craving for this kind of tea. I searched for stores selling Jasmine tea and found this red store after the bridge in Binondo, the Bee Tin Grocery.
I finally found my Jasmine Tea here, I got it for only Php 195 for 100 jasmine tea bags already. Bee Tin Grocery also has some dried leaves for your chosen tea. Bee Tin also offers different kinds of ingredients you need for Asian Cuisines such as mushrooms, seeds, dried fruits, noodles, soy sauce, rice vinegar, kimchi, chilli sauce, curry, miso paste, and herbs.
You may also find some snacks inside! Know KIAMOY? Different kinds! Staffs are helpful and they would be willing to help you if you’re looking for something inside. Do not worry if Guards roam inside especially at the back area, they are mindful for pickpockets.
I think if you look like Chinese (like me). the store owner would give you a discount even without asking.
I love buying their peanut bar. This would be one of the best places I will miss in Binondo. As Binondo wouldn’t be complete without Bee Tin Grocery If you’re looking for rare Asian food or ingredients, try checking out Bee Tin Grocery!
