Packaging

I really love the vibrant blue packaging and squeezy tube delivery system. This makes the product really convenient and easy to travel with. It’s also super cute!

Application & Texture

I have to say, I absolutely love the texture of the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint. It is a gorgeous cooling gel texture that feels refreshing and bouncy. It melts and blends into my skin effortlessly and it’s really easy to achieve a seamless finish on the skin. There’s no cakiness, just juicy, hydrated skin.

Watch the video above to see how I applied it.

I have had lots of question about whether it feels sticky on the skin, and I’d say that if you touch your face, you can definitely feel it is a skincare formula. It has a very very slight hint of tackiness, but this does not bother me at all, especially when I look at the gorgeous glowy and flawless finish.

Longevity & Wear Test

I haven’t done a full day wear test yet, so I will update my thoughts on this very soon. However, I have been very impressed so far. Given that it’s a hydrating gel formula, it is impressively long wearing. I have combination skin, and used the lightest touch of setting powder, and it wore really well. I’ll share more info on this as soon as I can.

Stay tuned for more insights, but so far I am absolutely loving it!!

TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation Review

When a beauty product goes viral, it’s hard not to be intrigued. The TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation has been making waves, and as a beauty enthusiast, I couldn’t resist buying it. Here’s my review with before and after photos.

What is TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion?

  • Hydrating cushion foundation
  • Designed to deliver full coverage
  • Natural, semi-matte finish
  • Lightweight formula
  • Blends seamlessly
  • Promises 72-hour flawless coverage
  • Available in 40 shades

TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation Shades & Swatch

I thing I would say is that I struggled with the shades. 17N Vanilla sounded and looked like it would be a good match for me so I ordered that one, and it was way too light as you will see from the before and after photos. I probably should have ordered for 21N Ivory, or 22N Shell Beige, but seeing as 17N Vanilla was so much lighter than I anticipated, I really couldn’t be sure.

My Review

First Impressions

The packaging is vibrant and eye-catching. It doesn’t feel overly luxurious but it’s seems pretty sturdy and definitely does the job. Inside, the cushion is saturated with foundation, and there’s a soft sponge applicator.

Application and Coverage

Upon the first application, I didn’t get the full coverage I was expecting. When I have seen videos of this online, it looks like it gives instant full coverage, but I didn’t find this to be the case.

I found this to be a medium coverage that is buildable, although unlike the Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Foundation (review and swatches here), I do need a separate concealer for any areas that require more coverage.

Because the shade I chose is too light, I found I had to use my REESON Bronzing Balm all over to warm up my complexion, and this actually works well and means I will get more use out of this shade.

Wear and Longevity

One of the standout claims for this cushion foundation is its longevity. I have to say that, although it lasts well, I didn’t really think it was more long lasting than many foundations I have, and it doesn’t last as long as the Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Foundation I mentioned earlier. I have combination skin, and didn’t set it with powder, so I think if I wanted to get longer wear out of it, I’d need to set it.

Finish

This foundation provides a satin finish on the skin that’s nice and flattering. There’s a good amount of glow and it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on the skin.

It doesn’t feel overly hydrating, so if you have dry skin, it may not be for you.

What is the shade range like?

The TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation boasts an impressive 40-shade range.

When cushion foundations were super popular 10 or so years ago, a lot of them only came in a few shades, so this is a good win. 40 shades is a notable achievement for a K-beauty brand.

The tricky part is that it’s hard to make sure you order the right shade, as I found. In hindsight, I’d have been better with 21N Ivory, or 22N Shell Beige, so if you are a shade twin, bear that in mind.

What skin type is it good for?

I’d say that the TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation is particularly well-suited for those with normal to oily skin types. However, if you have dry or dehydrated skin, it may not be for you.

Do you need to powder it?

I tend to skip powder, however, I think this foundation would perform better and last longer on my skin if it was set with powder.

Is it easy to apply?

This is a really easy foundation to apply. It goes on nicely with the sponge, and had I ordered the correct shade, it would be great for touch ups on the go.

What is the coverage like?

The coverage is a medium and buildable formula and is nice and skin flattering. I don’t find it is enough on its own to cover any blemishes or hyperpigmentation fully, and I needed to use a concealer for any areas that required more attention.

What is the finish like?

This foundation gives the skin a lovely natural looking satin radiance.

My Other Foundation Matches

For my shade twins out there, my other matches are:

  • Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 50 in Light Cool 3 (£39)
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation in 2N (£39)
  • Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation in 310 (£47)
  • e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation in 20 Light Cool (£8)
  • Sisley Paris Phyto Teint Perfection Foundation in 2N1 (£80)
  • Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation in 250 (£49)
  • Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation in 130 Light Warm £42)
  • NARS Light Reflecting Foundation in Deauville (£41)
  • Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care and Glow Foundation shade 115C (£39.50)
  • Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation in 4 neutral (£39)
  • La Mer Radiant Skin Tint in Light 22 (£80)
  • Cle de Peau Radiant Cream Foundation in 020 Light Medium Ochre (£108)
  • Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation Natural in 020 Light Medium Ochre (£121)
  • Givenchy Skincaring Foundation in 2-N150 (£47)
  • Dior Forever Natural Nude Foundation in 2N (£48)

Final Thoughts

I think I would have liked The TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation a lot more had I managed to buy the right shade, but I suppose you can’t win them all!

I don’t think it’s as full coverage as I would have liked it to be, not that I am a full coverage person all the time, but I just expected it to cover everything in one swipe, and it definitely didn’t do that for me.

I think if you get the right shade, it will be great for quick application and touch ups on the go, especially if you like a nice naturally radiant finish.

At £25 (I got it on offer at Boots for £17), it’s good value for money and super convenient. I’m not sure if Boots have it in bigger stores, as I got my order delivered to my local store, but if they do I’d recommend testing out a few shades.

Where to buy it

The TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation is £25 and available at Boots in the UK. Shop via the link below:

TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask Review

  , , , , , , ,
Comments Off on TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask Review

hihi everyone I hope all is well.

Today I will be sharing my experience with the TGIN Honey Miracle hair mask . This is one of those products in our natural hair community that everyone seems to love! so I finally decided to try it and see what the hype is about.

This hair mask promises to nourish and heal strands in need of repair. The result is hair that never looked so good and contains raw honey for softer, shinier tresses and jojoba and olive oils

Experience

I have had this mask in my routine for a few months now. I started using it probably around last spring/ summer. I have this on rotation, currently I use it every 2 weeks on wash days however I was using this every other wash day switching between the Briogeo don’t despair repair mask and the shea moisture manuka honey mask last summer to fall season.

The texture is thick but it spreads easily on the hair. it has a very pleasant scent. The mask has a good amount of slip so can be used for finger/comb detangling. After applying, I sit with a heated cap for 20-30 mins before detangling and rinsing. This is a nice hair mask! It really softens the hair and leaves it feeling better. I have 4c low porosity fine hair and this works well on it. Even with a texture release, the mask is still effective.

Verdict

I finally got this mask because the girls said it was amazing for 4c low porosity hair and they weren’t lying. I was comparing this mask to another popular honey mask- the shea moisture manuka honey deep conditioner and the TGIN out performs that by FAR. I think the combo of honey, olive oil and aloe juice does wonders for dry 4c hair.

I highly recommend this one for us! the hype is real. If you are choosing between this and the Shea Moisture mask, go with the TGIN! Your hair will love it! I’m almost out of the TGIN and I will be repurchasing

TGIN is available on Amazon or your local hair shop
