[Review] The Face Shop Phytogenic Infinite EX Powder Foundation (Renewal)

So along with the concealer I also got the powder foundation for more coverage, makes my face matte, and the other typical reasons why you would get a powder(lol).
The description on the box says "A lightweight powder foundation smoothes skin texture and covers up flaws while maintaining a smooth touch and natural matte finish all day long. A long-lasting maximum coverage formula with natural mineral powder will not change color even through heat or humidity". 
It comes with a little sponge, honestly I never use them unless I really need to. I usually use a brush or one of those triangle sponges, depending on how light or how much coverage I want.
I feel like using the one it comes with can get a little unhygienic.
Without vs with the powder foundation on my hand.
Shade is NB25.
This is the finishing touch(With eyeliner and lip tint as well, ehe)-- This is with the phytogenic concealer as well but the coverage together does hide majority of my flaws, make my skin tone look more even.. :'( And it makes my skin look more brighter too.
Pros:
        - You can control the amount of coverage, for more natural look just use a brush and for more coverage just use a sponge
        - Mild coverage. (Doesn't cover my acne scars, have to go over with concealer)
        - It's a powder + foundation together! Very good for humid weather like Hawaii
Cons: 
        - Doesn't control oil so after awhile I do have to use a oil blotting sheet
        - Limited shades (only two in Hawaii)
Repurchase: 
         - Maybe. This is my first powder/foundation, I was really excited to try this out because Hawaii never has this and this is the first one I've seen, but I'd still like to try different ones, if not I'll stick to this one. 
Good luck and have fun lovelies!

[Review] The Face Shop Phytogenic Infinite Ex Concealer Duo (Renewal)


I went to the face shop the other day, and I was looking for a new concealer. I asked one of the workers there, and she recommended the Phytogenic concealer duo. I used to use this so I was kind of "ehh" about it.. But apparently the worker had time me that they actually renewed with new formula and all that jazz(The old one is the green one), since they JUST got it in today the worker told me that I was going to be their first customer to try out their tester (ooh, so fancy right?) So as I applied the concealer to my face I had a 'most likely going to be the same' kind of attitude but looking at the mirror applying it, I liked the coverage it provided most concealers don't even cover my scars at all. I normally don't like concealers that are too heavy because I feel like it will clog my pores but this is extremely light, as if I'm not wearing anything.


I mainly use the liquid for my under eyes but sometimes when I feel like I need more coverage I will put the cream stick on first then put the liquid on top.
This shade is NB25 btw.
I hate taking pictures... Every time I wear the concealer people claim they can't see my scars but I'm not sure if they're lying or not. ಠ╭╮ಠ

Pros: 
         - Mild coverage
         - Very light
         - Affordable, it is two concealers in one
Cons:
         - Very limited shades (There was only two available in Hawaii)
         - Since it's light, it will come off if you sweat a lot
         - Doesn't cover all of my scars
Repurchase?: 
          - I will probably just try out some other ones first but if I can't find any better I will come back to this one.
Have fun and good luck lovelies!
