QUICK FX | Product Review

I'm a big fan of Watsons products. Every time I get a chance to roam around a mall, I always make sure that I stop by a Watsons store - if there's any. The first time I discovered Quick Fx was when I was looking for a product that can dry up pimples fast, and since I had time to search in every shelf I encounter in the store, that's when I saw these products.

The Quick Fx offers a variety of products. The first one I bought was the Pimple Eraser and after a while, I got curious what the others are for and can do so I bought each of every product. I've been using them for quite some time and now I'm going to share my thoughts about these Quick Fx products. 

In no particular order,

1. Quick Fx Pimple Eraser - This is my third purchase of Pimple Eraser. I gotta say, this is really effective, it really does dry up pimples. I read some reviews about this, some say they like it because it works for them but some commented that they won't buy it again because it dries up their face - yes, face! I think you're not supposed to apply it all over your face, just on the affected area (to be more specific, your pimples!!) Whenever I feel a bump on my face and realize it's a pimple, I immediately dab a small amount on it every night before I go sleep and the next day it'll be smaller than it should be. This product also claims to lessen dark spots and blemishes but in my experience, it didn't. Another thing I don't like about this is that you can't wear it under make-up *thumbs up turned upside down*. 

2. Quick Fx No-Shine Mattifier - This product claims to moisturize your face and can also work as a primer, leaving your face powdery and matte finish once applied. For those people looking for a cheap primer but still does a good job, you can go for this product. There are two ways of applying this product, either apply it under your makeup or apply it over your makeup. I'm not sure how you'll use it over your makeup, I tried doing it once and one hour later I noticed that my face has cakey textures on some areas and that was during I was working so imagine how embarrassing it was facing your co-workers with a caked face. I highly recommend applying it before putting on any makeup.

3. Quick Fx Tinted Moisturizer - This product was my alternative when I finish off the CC Cream. The Tinted Moisturizer claims to moisturize your face and at the same time evens out your skin tone. Below its description, it says it helps protect sun damage so you can say it also works as a sunscreen that you can layer first before your makeup. This conceals my blemishes when I use it but only lightly, I have to reapply it until I reach the amount of lightness I want to look for my face. Just a note, though, I don't recommend this product as your "another option" to hide your blemishes if you're going to apply heavy makeup. It's better to use other product or brand because it does not fully hide the blemishes or dark spots. If you want something light for your skin, this product is the perfect one to use!

4. Quick Fx CC Cream - I was clueless what's the difference between a BB Cream and a CC Cream. Seriously, what's the difference? lol. Quick Fx did justice in its statement that it 'helps illuminate the skin for a healthy glow' because it does and it doesn't have any sticky feeling. After blending it, it did brighten up my face and made some of my problem areas less visible, well it should because it's also a color corrector! When squeezed out from its package, the cream may appear light but it's actually buildable. This can be used as a base or a primer too because it blends quite well with other makeup products (e.g concealer or foundation). Anyway, the product doesn't stay for long in my face, maybe it's because of my oily face? 

5. Quick Fx Eyelift Cream - Ahh, eyebags. The only bags I always bring with me. lol. If you're sleeping late and don't have any plans changing your lifestyle, don't even bother buying this. Why? Simple, it won't work. Hehe. I'm just kidding. If you want the Eyelift Cream to work on you, you have to be consistent in applying it twice a day, morning and at night. I, myself, use this cream twice a day; before applying makeup and before I go to sleep. It claims to reduce the appearance of lines, puffiness, refines and tones areas around the eyes. It's still too early to conclude any changes since I've only been using it for three weeks, but it does help reduce the puffiness around my eyes and keeps it moisturized throughout the night. Anyway, when it comes to the dark circles under my eyes, well, they are still visible. :(

Will I repurchase these products? Of course, but only the Pimple Eraser, No-Shine Mattifier, and the Eyelift Cream. I'm already on my third purchase of the Pimple Eraser and I will continue to buy it because of its fast drying effect on my pimples. I will also continue to purchase the No-Shine Mattifier because I love how it mattifies my face when I use it. One thing I hate the most is seeing my face all highlighted when I didn't even use a highlighter, that's the problem with oily faced people. And last but not the least, the Eyelift Cream, the disappearance of the dark circles under my eyes may take time but gradually I'm seeing changes. They are cheap and very travel-friendly, so what's not to love about them?

Have you tried these products? I would love to hear your thoughts about these!
