True White Plus Prismizer

Whitening lotion 150mL Effective whitening lotion formulated with Prism Enhancer and Super Whitening Ingredient Love this toner. I just feel so clean and refresh after using this. You can say this is my HG. I always have a backup. Even though I am using a few toners and am always trying out new ones. After playing around with samples, I still choose this. Unless I am travelling, then I will just bring any other toner. It was said that toner is not really a must in skincare, but I also read that if you have oily skin, you need toner. If I am lazy or in a rush, I tend to skip this step. But I just like the feeling of this on my skin. I will splash a few drop onto a cotton pad. Then wipe the under of eye, my forehead, cheek and neck. I turn the cotton around and start for on other side. And my skin feel extra cleanse.

Skinlite seaweed essence mask

Bought this when I was in HK intending to use it there, but I did not have the time. This is for revitalizing and hydrating. Complexion appears firmer, fresher and healthier. Not a fan of this sheet mask. It doesn't fit snuggly on my face. It is not as hydrating as others I've tried. It's cooling which is probably the only good thing bout this. But it also dry rather quickly on the bottom half of the mask and it just flap out which annoy me. Usually mask when dry, they still stay put until you remove them. It isn't as bad if you see here. There's a lot of slits around the mask that suppose to help hug onto your face. Especially the nose part. Usually the sheet kind of lift off on the bridge of the nose, with this mask, you can easily push it down to cover it. So that's the property I like to see in most masks. One last thing, you are not suppose to really use a mask if you have blemishes. For me usually that's not a problem. But using this mask, it actually...

Elianto shadows

I've been meaning to do this review, but for some reason I keep forgetting. Anyway this is the two eyeshadows I managed to grab from Elianto. They have a little shop at JB City Square and Tampines Mall, so it's quite convenient to check them out. I went a little crazy with colors. Usually I will pick neutrals, but I guess I was bored that day or something. I choose two different kind of shadows (I allow myself only 2) that is unique to me and paid for them. They have so many types of shadows and so many colors. I picked up Ardour shadow 05 Forest Green RM8 and Luminous shadow 13 Sapphire Blue RM12. Ardour shadow has a soft, smooth texture. It is also a matte finish. It glides on easily. An affordable matte singles with unique colors. Can be powdery, but not a major problem for me. The only thing bout Elianto is that the shadows come in a pan form. So you need to have your own palette or purchase from them. It doesn't have magnet and the pan is plastic. Even though its gre...

Dior prestige whitening revilatizing essence

I find that I need a good amount of product to cover my whole face. It is thick but easily blend onto skin. Doesn't have any distinctive scent. It sets onto face quite fast, but it makes my face oily. I do not like this product. I find that it did not do anything to my face. After the third day, pimples form on my forehead. So another disappointment from Dior.

Nivea lip butter

I have really high expectation for this. People rave about it and said it feels like putting on butter. I so disagree. It feels smooth ya, creamy even, but it doesn't feel like butter. I guess because of the Nip+Fab body butter which to me is exactly like butter, so this is not buttery enough. At least it smells nice. You know when you mix red with too much white, it becomes pink with more white? It is what this gives me. Too much white. I guess it's suppose to be pale pink, but it feels white. I am very generous with my lippie, so this doesn't suit my lifestyle. I always take too much when all you need is just a bit to cover your whole lips. If I do that, I don't feel like I put enough. So I take more, and it feels nice on the lips but makes it look messy. The product covers the surrounding lips too. So had to wipe it off and ugh just troublesome. Its a good lip balm, but I had expected more, so I'm disappointed. Next time, don't expect so much. It should alway...

Nip+Fab body butter in mango smoothie

Even since I saw it at Watsons for $2.50, I fell in love. So not only its a body butter but it smell wonderful. However it smell more of strawberries instead of mangoes. Nevertheless it still yummy. It's yellow and it feels exactly like butter. Ever touch butter and feel them between your fingers? It's exactly like that but without the grease. Plus the fact that it's yellow just bring the image of butter in your mind. So not only it looks like butter, it feels like butter. It's really moisturizing. It spread on easily and get absorb by the skin really well. Non greasy and the scent kind of linger without being overpowering. I love the fact that after a while when you touch your skin, you can still feel the smoothness and moisture. It's not sticky which is good. It's not watery, it's not too thick. The consistency is just right. Really really love this body butter. Really love the feeling of the lotion. Love putting it on. It just feels really nice. For $2.50...

First Impression: Ginvera green tea day cream and night cream

The day moisturizer is rather light and not greasy. It blends rather easily even though it's not watery. It has a slight dewy finish. Night moisturizer is light but make my face very hydrated. It has a dewy finish. Well more of a dewy. Almost oily, but barely. I was sleeping in an air condition room for the whole night. In the morning my face is surprisingly not oily. It seems that the moisture is being absorb or taken away. So in the end, I wake up with a nice face. Not bad at all. I just don't know if I don't use air con, will I wake up with a nice face or will it be on the oily side. Both moisturizers are cooling upon application. It's refreshing. Wouldn't bother with buying them, but I don't mind more samples to bring for overseas use.

Rimmel apocalips in Nova

I get why people love this. It applies like a gloss, feels like a balm and gives the look of lipstick. At least that's what Nova is to me. It is not drying, not sticky and has a fantastic color payout. I also like the applicator. It has this spoon like shape on the doe foot applicator that hold more product than normal brush. I can fully cover my lips without having the need to dip into the tube again. It is just awesome. The staying power is great and it sort of stain your lips, which I like. The one thing I'm not really keen on is the smell. YouTube gurus said that they smell funny. I totally agree, its kind of weird. I don't know what exactly but it's not something I like. It is not that bad. I just would like it more if it has a different scent. I know, it smell exactly like asinan(Indonesian pickled fruit salad). Anyway, I don't know why it appear pink on my lips when in the tube it's more of a dusty red pink. But I like it.

Majolica Majorca cream pencil liner in GD807

I've been playing with eye liner. Usually before I take off my makeup, I'll apply the liner. It's a pretty gold shimmer that is creamy and easy to apply. Not exactly buttery but it doesn't tug the lid, which in my book is a great product. It is great as an eye base too. This does not smudge, which is awesome. But I find the glitter do transfer. Like it will fall onto my lashes. I guess if you are going for that look, it's actually really nice to have a little sparkle on the lash. Oh, the color is also not intense. It's just the glitter that attract the attention. Overall for the price, I don't really think its worth it.

My scheming masks

I have here Hyaluronan hydrating mask and Green tea & barley whitening mask. Hyaluronan hydrating - Super cooling when applied. Great for when it's really warm and you want something cooling. - After 30 min of use, the mask is still damp. - The essence sink into the face rather quickly, after I remove the mask. - There's plenty extra on the packaging, so I slather those up on my face twice. - Face feel smooth. I don't know if you can see extra essence. It has that extra plastic sheet, which I don't like. I find that it tend to stick to the plastic more than to my face. So I have to really pull them apart. It gets kind of messy. I also really don't like the feeling of having something stuck on my hand. Green tea & barley whitening - Cooling, refreshing, calming. - The essence is sticky on my fingers. - Mask fits snugly on my face. - Gives off a dewy finish. - Doesn't whiten my face, but I can't escape the sunlight. I prefer the Hyaluronan hydrating ma...

Chanel travel collection palette

There is just something about Chanel.

L'oreal total repair night essence

I love this for 2 things. First, you apply it wet. Second, it's a night essence. So technically you can have wet hair and go to sleep. If you don't know, sleeping with wet hair can give your hair and your pillow a really awful stench. Especially if you do it often. I know of some old neighbors who do that. For some reason the smell doesn't go away. That is my experience and what my mom told me, and you know mothers know best. Of course there is a saying if you sleep with wet hair with air-con or fan blowing in your direction, you will likely to get sick. So maybe that is the real reason. Nevertheless, I do not sleep with wet hair, I don't lie down too. If I'm tired, I will rest with my head on the edge so my hair can be dangling from the bed. The worse part will be if I fall asleep, then I will wake up with really bad neck ache. Why don't I blow dry my hair you may ask. Well, I don't really use hairdryer. Only in hotels, when it's convenient. Back to the...

VS Coconut Passion Body Mist

If you love the scent of coconut, you will love this. It's just so fresh and summery. It kind of linger for awhile then I can't tell anymore. It just smell like spring and summer. Like those sunny day chilling at the beach under the shade (yah, I don't like the sun), drinking iced cold drinks. Refreshing! I love the idea of body mist, but at times I find them really sticky. I guess if you are living in humid condition, it will tend to feel sticky. Once you can't smell the wonderful scent, you just left with the ickiness. I don't like that.

Cleanser: foam, gel and scrub

I've tried plenty of facial wash, and none seem to suit me as much as my Beautain . It is not the best, but it gives me the best feeling. As long as it feels nice, I got no complain. So I was saying I tried plenty of cleanser or facial wash and this post is going to be a review on those that can be found in my bathroom right now.

Palmer's cocoa butter

After reading Louise from Lou Lou's beauty & fashion fix cocoa butter reviews , I really wanted to try one. I love chocolate but not a fan of cocoa smelling product. I have the H&M lip balm , which eventually the scent become too unbearable for me. However seeing anything cocoa just make me want to try them. Sometime my brain just can't process well. Lucky for me I managed to get samples of Palmer's cocoa butter. The first thing I notice when I opened the sachet is that it is sort of a pale yellow creamy lotion. The smell is not that strong which is good. It still has the cocoa product smell, but it wasn't bad. It doesn't smell all that great too. That just cause I don't like the scent of cocoa. I applied it on my legs and I am really disappointed that it is hard to lather on. I have to rub it together rather harshly for it to sink. Seeing as it is a butter, I know it is suppose to be quite thick. But I would rather have watery texture that is easy to ap...
