Maybelline baby lips

Mango pie flavor. At first it is just a plain clear lip balm. But the second time I use this, I can finally smell the mango. Yum yum! It is moisturizing, smell and "taste" good, bright lovely color tube and just a lip balm. It is sold for $5+ which I think is too much. But I got this free with the purchase of Falsie, so I cant complain. But even though I do like this, I will not purchase it again unless it's massive on sale.

Sephora instant moisturizer

I love samples. I actually get to try them before buying. Most of the time it's just a one time deal anyway. Plus in Singapore, you can't buy, try then return them. So samples are great. So I was given this Sephora instant moisturizer when I purchased some stuff from there. Used it when I'm on short 2D1N trip to Batam. My verdict, I wouldn't buy it. It's creamy and easy to apply. Stated as dermatologically tested / oil free, but I don't see that. I still feel my skin is oily. I'm not sure if it's cause of all the sun I'm absorbing, in which case it's not a really fair judgement. I just don't feel comfortable in it.

Peel-off mask from Himalaya

Refreshing peel off mask. It's green and gooey. It's fun to put on, till the end when it is a mess. Took sometime to fully dry. For some reason, the peeling process is pretty painful. It stated that it will unclog pores, tone, nourish and firm up skin. Well it does unclog pores, but I am not sure of the firm up skin part. Maybe I did not use it regularly enough to find that out.

Maybelline bb cream

I tried a sample of clear smooth bb cream, and it was awesome on my skin. The perfect foundation without much hassle. As the way I apply this is just using my hand, all over my face just like a moisturizer. I do like the finish look it gave me. With a spf 26, I feel I can just use this whenever I am late and in a hurry. I decided to get both as I forgot if the sample was in 01 or 02. Fresh 01 is lighter for my skin. But strangely it gives me an awake look. I guess that's why they call it fresh. My face is much brighter. And I hardly have to use make up. Just keeping it simple and plain. So I like to use this when I go for dance class. For natural 02, I mostly use this, but I have to use make up, if not I feel something is not done yet. I guess is cause the color blend into my skin so much it looks like I did not put on anything. Really natural. Both really goes on well with the Maybelline clear smooth powder . After bb I use the powder to gives it a matte finish. I do like this pro...

MUA trio eyeshadows in innocence

I love this shadow. Ok fine, I love everything. But these colors are so pretty. The medium shade especially. It is more towards a brownish color on your eyes without it looking boring. So, I absolutely love it. Most of the time I use the middle shade. If I have time I will use both that and the darkest one on my outer corner. It has subtle shimmer. So perfect for a little sparkle but it is not obvious. It is not plain, so it is not boring. Pigmented and can last up to 8 hours. So it is pretty awesome.

ZA pore smoother

So this is something I thought will make my pores look smaller. I guess in a way, it just wishful thinking. In the end, it just smoothen out the pores, like covering it. Making it look smooth from afar. If you zoom in, it is still there visible. So it wasn't something I used very often, unless I really have super visible pores I forget to take care of the night before.

Lip ice sheer color

So I used this when I was back in primary school. I love it as it is clear but it give color to anyone who uses it. Like it enhance your natural lip into something better. Anyone who wears this will get different "pink-natural" color lips. Recently you can asked for a free sample and they sent it to your house. See, it is so petite and cute. I love samples. Anyway I really like the strawberry scent. As it is a lip balm, it is smooth and just glide on easily. But I have to say I love the color the most. As it is my natural lip color but better.

MUA lipstick shade 3

So I heard about MUA and how fantastic their lipstick are. Plus it was only for 1 pound. During their sale, I decided to buy one and after a very hard decision I choose shade 3. It was a bright pink, more of fuscia color that people said was similar with MAC's girl about town.  It is basically a bit tamer than this . Sorry for the grainy photo. My lips are naturally dark, so it really is bright on me. Exactly the color on the lipstick on the right. I am not a big fan of bright out there color, so I am a bit weary using this. Otherwise, it is a gorgeous color to have. The way I'm using it now is to blot it twice. That way it is not so wah. It is smooth and easy to apply. A bit smaller than normal lipstick with just 3.8g. Casing is simple. The bottom can be open and it's actually a "gloss". So not only it can be used to help what color is in the tube, but it can be use unlike Nyx's round lipstick . Well for a less than SG$2, it is one good lipstick. Now, I just ...

Crabtree & evelyn hand therapy

This smell so good. The only thing that is irritating is the cap. After you use this, sometime it is hard to cap it back. Other than that, it is a good product.  

Midnight pomegranate hand sanitizer

This anti-bacterial waterless hand foam smells really good. But I found that my hand will be sticky upon used. So I do not really like this. This cost US$4.50 for 50ml. So I guess for a sanitizer is pretty alright it is bigger than others. But other than the smell it's not good at all.

Hypnose in 01 Noir hypnotic

One of the best mascara ever produced. Thick, lengthening and dark. Easy to apply, doesn't clump. One coat is all you need. But cause of habit, I tend to put more than a few, so usually I will end up with thicker eye lashes than intended. But with this, it doesn't give off that too-much look. It is not dramatic. It is just enough to appear you have awesome long lashes. The wand is nice too. Long and slim. It doesn't feel heavy when you use it. Love it.

Bebe perfume

Created by Francis Kurkdjian for women, a floral oriental. Top notes are juicy mango, sweet pea and tuberose. The heart is composed of black jasmine and night blooming rose while the base consists of sexy sandalwood, musk and golden cedar. I actually fell in love with Bebe sheer back in Sephora. So I got this thinking it was it. Alas I bought the wrong one. Smart huh? At first it was just a nice perfume. Not too sweet not too tart. It is pleasant and feminine. Then eventually, it became not bad. I end up actually liking it. It was only a 30ml bottle, so after about 9 months it is almost finishing. Well, I alternate with 2 others, so ya. It smells pretty powdery actually with a hint of flowers. I guess it's the jasmine and rose. I will miss this scent. It has been my go to perfume for these few months, that the scent has been link with leaving and conquering the day. Girl power!
