Beauty Bakerie Makeup Review: Blending Egg Beauty Sponges, Flour Setting Powder & More!
Beauty Bakerie Makeup Review
I bought 4 of Beauty Bakerie's most popular and aesthetic looking products - the Flour Setting Powder (US$24), Blending Egg Beauty Sponges (US$18), Lip Whip (US$20), and Cake Pop Lippies (US$10). Do note that their makeup is all vegan and cruelty free. Score!
Let's jump right into the reviews!
1. Blending Egg Beauty Sponges
I was very excited about the Blending Egg Beauty Sponges because it looks so cute! The beauty sponges also aren't that expensive (only US$18) and comes in a box of 6.
I typically prefer applying foundation using my own fingers, so using beauty sponges or blending sponges was a first for me. The beauty sponges from Beauty Bakerie were alright, but not phenomenal. It didn't really blend that well, but I did like how the sponge was sturdy and easy to control.
Another thing I didn't like was that it absorbed my foundation so most of it got transferred onto the sponge instead of being applied onto my face. Also, it was quite hard to wash my foundation off the sponge after use. This could be because of my foundation as well, but... I'll just stick to using my fingers after this!
2. Oat (Translucent) Flour Setting Powder
To tell the truth, I've never used setting powder until I saw this one from Beauty Bakerie. How can I not buy it? It's so pretty! Currently there are 7 different shades of Beauty Bakerie's Flour Setting Powder on their website. I chose the one in Oat because it suits my Asian skin tone the best.
When I first opened this product, I was like wowwwwwww because it really looks like a bag of flour. The packaging is 10/10. The setting powder itself is great too! There's a lot of product and the powder is really pigmented so you don't need to pack a shit load on your face. Since it's quite expensive at US$24, I'm glad that this setting powder will last quite a while.
Now this setting powder's formula is amazing. Thanks to the setting powder's blurring effect, my pores looked visibly smaller after applying it. It also made my skin brighter, and the powder is light so your face won't feel cakey. You can see the difference between my complexion before and after applying the setting powder!
3. Funnel Cake Cake Pop Lippies
If you've been reading my blog long enough you'd know how much I love lipstick. I just had to buy one of these because they were very affordable at only US$10 each! The Funnel Cake shade was also gorgeous, and prior to buying this I often had a hard time finding a coral-nude lipstick that worked well with my skin tone.
The only downer about the Cake Pop Lippies is that it is so small! But I guess that's what you should expect for a lipstick that costs US$10. The packaging is cute but it can look a little cheap - I mean, it is - but still cute nevertheless.
The lipstick application was great and it was smooth, easy to apply, and had great coverage. You know how new lipsticks usually need some time for the pigment to "activate"? This one didn't have that problem and I had great pigment on my lips on the first swatch. The shade is also gorgeous and I was so glad to finally find the perfect coral-nude lipstick.
4. Gingersnap Matte Lip Whip
Now this lipstick left me shook. This Beauty Bakerie Matte Lip Whip in Gingersnap has to be the best longwear lipstick I've ever worn in my entire life. This shit does not come off. Any other lipstick wouldn't have survived what the Beauty Bakerie Matte Lip Whip went through. I wore a mask for 30 minutes under the hot sun (which would have "melted" the lipstick or had it imprinted on the inside of my mask), kissed my boyfriend, and literally bit into the oiliest, most humongous burger, and 6 hours later my lipstick still looked untouched.
WHAATT???
But with amazing long-lasting coverage comes a cost, which is that the Lip Whip is super sticky and dries within seconds. If you have dry lips, this lipstick will require you to exfoliate before use or your lips will look flaky as hell. The best way to remove this is by using a makeup remover or the Beauty Bakerie Lip Whip Remover Wipes.
Overall, this is an amazing product and I don't think I've seen a better longwear lipstick than this!
Supporting small beauty brands!
So Beauty Bakerie is actually a black brand and their team is 75% black. This actually made me want to support them even more because the beauty community is constantly dominated by whites and black people have it so much harder growing a business due to discrimination and unfair treatment. Beauty Bakerie's founder is tremendously amazing and talented and she deserves much more recognition for the fantastic brand she's built, so I hope more Singaporeans will start showing Beauty Bakerie support and love because they absolutely deserve it!
If you'd like to buy their makeup, you can click here to visit Beauty Bakerie or Look Fantastic. Do note that some of the products featured here may be out of stock on the official website, so you can cross check on Look Fantastic as well to see if they have stock there.
Read if you want to save monoey: The items listed in SGD on Look Fantastic's website is more expensive than the USD price, even after converting the USD price to SGD. E.g. The Blending Eggs on Look Fantastic cost S$30, but US$18 (~S$24.90) on Beauty Bakerie's site. Same for the Cake Pop Lippies; on Look Fantastic it costs S$17, on Beauty Bakerie US$10 (~$13.83).
However, it is STILL cheaper to buy from Look Fantastic. Here's why.
I actually bought the Blending Eggs and Cake Pop Lippies together from Beauty Bakerie itself and it cost US$41.83 (~S$60.81), inclusive of the US$13.83 (S$19.13) shipping. It is actually more worth buying from Look Fantastic because the Blending Eggs and Cake Pop Lippies at S$30 and S$17 totalled to only S$47 (The S$60.81 I spent - this S$47 = S$13.81 SAVED).
With Look Fantastic's shipping fee of S$8.5, that's only S$55.50 total. Also, Look Fantastic tends to have discounts off their products (including those from Beauty Bakerie) AND you get free shipping when you spend over S$51. So with that said, it's more worth it buying from Look Fantastic, if you don't mind the limited options available.
See you next post!
