Shills Close to You Review
Just like me, they long to be close to you.....! Shills longs to be Close to you dontcha know?
Jump ahead for a review on Shills Close to You because it's longing to be close to the Muse and the Muse happens not to mind in the least.
Like most Asian cosmetics, Shills Close to You has it's little gimmicky fix it all promise in a cute little pot. Hey, we love cosmetics that promise us perfection right, plus, better yet, in cute packaging. Score! Or in this case it promises to "keep fit of the skin"...that sounds really important, kinda, right?
Here's the deal Shills Close to You is kinda sorta a foundation prep and prime. It's supposed to fill fine lines, pores, and skin imperfections prior to foundation. The real deal is since it's so moisturizing and creamy it's probably not going to do much in the ways of priming your skin if you have woes such as large pores. The bad news is as a primer Close to You is a fail! But as a prep...as a prep we might have something here.
Think of this as a concealer for your face and you might have a win situation. Think of it as a light form of coverage for days you're too lazy to apply a full face of makeup and again you have a win. Think of it as a spot treatment and yet again you're winning. Or swipe a bit under your eyes and again you're multitasking your way to a win.
If you drop the primer from the description you'll have yourself a nice multitasking quick fix with a killer moisturizing formula that blends like a dream and leaves your face looking healthy and flawless. Likey. Win!
We could deem Shills Close to You as a bit of a gimmick considering it's pratically an identical product to Shills Electric Eye Concealer. Honestly, I have no way of knowing if the formulas are the same but to me they appear the same, they feel the same....just come in different packaging shrug. But hey I can cope with two cute packages that supposedly perform two separate functions.
I use Shills Close to You as a light makeup coverage when I'm just running out the door for an errand or not wanting a full on makeup. It creates a nice even canvas for a bit of cheek stain and I'm ready to rumble. I don't normally use a concealer on pimples but I rarely get pimples plus I don't believe in covering them up anyway, let the bloody things breath and dry out is my solution. And I don't really have pores or fine lines to hide away plus I'm thinking Close to You wouldn't be much help anyway.
Solution?
If you're wanting a quickie makeup for on the fly application and a nice smooth, fresh appearance or maybe a nice prep prior to foundation, Shills Close to You is the way to go. Disregard it's Benefit dupe packaging and just enjoy the awesomeness that is Shills.
Likey possibly falls in the realms of loves it for this Muse!
Shills Close to You is exclusive to Taiwan but you can get it on Evil-bay if you're so inclined. I paid retail which is around $4-5 USD, I've seen it on E-bay for around $12.99 USD so not too, too bad. It's kinda worth checking out if you're fair to medium skin as it's a great little multitasking makeup item to stash in your purse.
