BB Cream: Avon

Okay, this is Avon's healthy make up BB Cream.
The first that I used it I immediately fell in love with the smell and the texture. The coverage was amazing and buildable. Though you probably don't want to do this because the end result is amazing. Natural looking skin, fresher, dewy but no shine! 6-8 hours in room temperature (and I mean humid environment-this is the tropics) and then it starts to fade. In an air conditioned room it will probably last longer. So to all Filipinas who likes light to medium coverage without the heavy feel, try this! It's also healthy! Some BB creams are like tinted moisturizers, but this one is more than that! Great value for your money. :)

Clear Smooth Aqua gel foundation

The price is right for the product. I believe it's very affordable considering that this is a drugstore product.
Why gel foundation? Very easy for starters (like me) and the humid weather in tropical countries should be considered when choosing a liquid foundation. The formula is light, easy to blend, absorbed quickly on the skin. It's a gel so it has this whipped property to it which I find helpful in blending and avoiding harsh lines. Best applied with hands because you can "feel" the formula. It has a tendency to settle quickly which you may find good or bad depending if you are in a hurry or not.
The color seemed to be lighter than your skin tone but it quickly matches your skin tone. Lasts whole day too!
I think this is one amazing product, quality and money wise.
