The Stuff I'd Used

This has a very herbal like scent. Not exactly herbal, but it's just a strong scent. I don't really like it. The toner itself is not that watery. So one sachet 2ml, just nice to coat one cotton pad. I feel like this break me out. Maybe it's the fragrance that makes my sensitive face react. Oh well, I don't really like.   

This is one moisturizing cream. It's actually very good for dry skin. It will be good for cold weather when you just need extra moisture. It's not thick, but for some reason when you apply it, it just thicken. It thus feels very thick.

 Quite a few rave about NYC lip crayon. So I naturally had to try it. This is a plum shade which perfect for autumn. The berry deep burgendy shade that is still very wearable. The color is really nice. It's suppose to be deep but on the lips it kind of brighten the face. It's a good texture, very smooth and easy to apply. I do like it. So far I find nothing wrong with lip crayon. So this one is no exception.    

Finally, there is a Nic on the brush name. The older model only has Sam on it. Anyway this is quite a weird brush. Cause it's just so thin. It is also not dense. I find that ghis is better as a concealer brush. At least for under the eyes. Which is what I have been using this for. Overall, it is an ok brush. Not something I will buy again or will buy if I actually saw a picture of it first. I mean all I could see was the front view. Still a good brush, I just don't know how to use it.   

I've been saving these for when I finally have curly hair. It took me 2 years but $160 later, curly hair. And it's not even that good. Cause it's more wavy.   Both scent is ok. It's not a strong scent. It's forgettable. The shampoo does help with keeping the curl or in my case wave in place. What I don't like is that it doesn't help with my oily hair. So by the end of the day, my hair will look really oily. I mean it's not as bad, but it's just not something that can last longer. So for a night out, dry shampoo will be needed.  The conditioner is nice but it's just very typical. It's quite thick and just glide over the hair. All the conditioner will be on the hair, it doesn't drop so that's nice. But it doesn't feel like the hair absorb it. But it does. Cause my hair feels so smooth after. And will still curl.  So I wouldn't repurchase this. As I feel it's just a curling shampoo but it's not a shampoo for me. I rather ...

I just had to get this. Cause the color is Just so good in the tube. It's the perfect shade for fall. But after I use it, it's quite a sheer jelly like color that it's not deep enough for fall. It will be better for spring. But I mean no one cares.  Like all Revlon lip butter,  it is very smooth and pigmented. Ya I said sheer, but the color will show. So I mean nothing much to say but I like it. I still like the buttery texture. So yah. 

    The fit for the mask is good but the mask itself is rather sticky. No scent or anything, but it quite irritate my skin. I guess cause I'm having a lot of breakout right now. Only used this for 10 minutes before I have to take it off.  So far I find with these Collagen Essence masks, is that all the mask are a different fit. So it's not consistent and I don't know, it's just not really that good overall. I wouldn't really recommend it. 

I like this. It's alright on the occasion spot you have. Suppose to reduce pimples, which I guess it will help but will not exactly remove them. At least for me. It just helps to control and makes spots smaller. So it's just nice to use. It doesn't stink. So it won't hurt you. But it will be quite oily in the end, so I will just use this at night.  

This is basically the famous Nuxe lip balm. It's rated one of the best lip balm in the beauty industry. They say that it's matte. But to me still has a little shine. The formula is very thick and gooey. But I feel that it's really good when you have chapped lips. Cause it is very thick, it will really coat the lips. In the morning there will be leftover white residue if it doesn't get absorbed by the lips. It is just a very unique texture.  The stuck form is not as good. It's a bit hard but it will go on like oil once warm up on the lips. It is ok, but more of a thin coat over. It smells sweet but not floral or candy like. I like that it is very solid so it doesn't melt easily and that no matter how hard you push onto the lips, the stick doesn't break. 

  Got this in 02 so natural, but it is still a bit light on me. This is meant for oily skin, but it is not long lasting. So lots of touch up is needed. Even though it is lighter than my skin tone, it is more on the transparent side, so does not really make a difference. I like the packaging cause you press the button for it to pop out. It is not a cheap powder, at least as compare to Rimmel, but the packaging is quite "cheap". The mirror fell off after I took this picture. I also put this in my bag, so it is very powdery and messy whenever I took this out to use. So yah. The sponge is ok. Very thin, but works good. Overall, it is ok. 

Got this in the shade Melon 06. It's a very frosty neutral pink shade. It does has a hint of "melon" shade. I mean when you look at it, it just has that reddish melon color. I never think that I would like a frosty finish, but it actually looks ok on me. The frost is not so obvious in real life. It's just a pretty neutral lipstick with a hint of color that is perfect for the day time. It sort of covers chapped lips.  The packaging is pretty. Its gold casing is pretty and has some weight on it. So it just feels really good on my hand. It just feels higher end. So ya, I like this. May not be for everyone. But it's surprisingly good.    

I like this. It's a gel. I'm a sucker for this kind of texture. But this is more oil based kind. I feel it's more old as compare to gel, I guess the term is more liquid. It spreads out easily and absorbs rather quickly. A thin layer is enough, more than that, it gets rather oily. Some people this is a bit too oily for their skin especially under the hot weather. But for me, it's alright. No problem with this melting. But I only spend so much under the sun so what do I know. Overall it's not bad but I don't think I will buy the full size. Just cause the texture is not gel as I like. Oh I think the dupe for this will be the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel, but the later smell of watermelon while Fresh has a rose scent.   

Had 3 masks that has bird's nest on it. So i thought ill just review them altogether.  Personally I don't really see what is different bout this, but oh well.   My beauty diary imperial bird's nest is ok. Its a normal sheet mask. Quite a refreshing mask but nothing much really. But it is a good fit for my face.  Sister diary pearl bird's nest is a thin mask. Quite cooling upon application. The mask kept dropping down for some reason. The fit is just wrong. But is ok.  My beauty diary bird's nest mask is so wet. The essence just kept dripping onto my neck. Plus this has a very strong alcohol scent. A bit uncomfortable to use actually. Not sure why.  So I guess I can conclude that these masks are nice to use, but you won't really see much a difference. If daily use, then it really does help to hydrate the skin. Cause of the essence that is being absorbed by the mask. Well, I guess they are also helpful as those things where you put in the fridge so you get a cooli...

Finally something waterproof. I've been using a lot of mascara lately. That's mean I have a lot of opened mascara at the moment. I'm just like that. Pretty obsessed with one thing at some point of a time. I always love mascara and lip glosses, lipstick now, but it's been awhile.  I am not so in love with The Rocket or They're Real. But I have to try this.  It's a typical Maybelline tube. Suppose to be a lilac pink, but I don't like the color. The wand at first does look quite weird. It's a curve and with a little fangs at the inside of the end. Remind me of the L'Oreal Wings (end up I bought that to compare). But this one the "wings" is not so prominent.  I quite like this and I've been using it a lot. I wanted to review so many mascara, but I feel since this is the newer one in the market, so I just want to get it out there. I'd used this for 2 months plus. So it's a good amount of time for a proper review. The formula is avera...

I have no idea what this is. I guess it's more like a cleansing cream but you are suppose to use this after you actually cleanse your face. So it's like a toner, but in cream form. But anyway, you are suppose to use this with a cotton pad. I guess that's a cleaner way to go. As using your hand might just defeat the purpose. Anyway, I kinda like this. It just remove whatever makeup  I still have left on my face. And at the same time it gives me extra moisture.    PRODUCT DETAILS Smooth illumination can now come easily with Albion Exage White Milk II.

I always wanted to try the baby lips. The one from the US. So many people rave about it. I finally got to try it. It smells really nice. Love that. The color is nice too. A nice pink. It's a light neon pink. On my lips, the color kind of show but not as great. For a lip balm, it's not as moisturising. In real life, my lips kind of blotchy and dry and it just shows. This looks like the 17 lipstick, but baby lips is a lighter pink. I prefer the 17 which is a more a candy apple pink. So Pink Punch has a really nice scent, but to me is not a good lip balm at all.   

 Just had to try again. This time I got in shade nude. The swatch is alright but I feel it is still not the perfect shade. I think I should have choose Bisque or Sand. But according to the creme compact, Blush is a good match for me. I guess it really depend on the look after I blend it.  Still the same. It doesn't leave my skin matte so it's better for colder months. But this spread so much easier than the last time I tried. I feel now I am so much choosier in term of finding something I like. I mean I like a lot of things. But I will be more incline to say no it's ok but I don't like it. Last time I ok, but I will try to make it work. Now, what doesn't work, I try to give it away to people who like it better.  So, this is still a so-so. Maybe when I finally find the best shade that fit and my skin is more stable, I will like this better. It's still a great tinted moisturiser. I just feel for an oil free one, it's not great.   

Heard a few good things abouf this concealer. Here is my thought. If there is one shade that match me perfectly. It will be this. This shade 02 is my exact skin tone. Its an easy concealer. For tea tree, I thought it will be good for my spots. But really the color is so much better for my under eyes. And it last much longer as an under eye concealer than as a spot concealer.    Not a fan of the packaging. The cap got loose. The little dot just got sand down so I cant bring this around.  Overall coverage is ok. Not a very thick, but since its my shade, so it covers undereye quite well. For spots, it wont last as long. So its not good as that. Doesn't crease. So its alright. A bit expensive to me. TBS is quite pricey actually. Oh well. 

Wanted to see what's the big deal about this. It's just a normal serum for me. Moisturising, yes. But it's not really suitable for oily skin. I don't know. I think this will be good for colder countries. But in Singapore, I don't think it's that good. I don't feel that extra hydration. So ya, not sure about this.   

This is like one of the cutest mask I've ever used. It's just fun to apply especially for sleepover. It's a bit scented so that is sort of something to take note of. From the foil it smells horrible. On the face it is ok. Still can smell it, but it wasn't as bad.    Pure Smile Facial Mask-Blue Heart: *Damask rose flower extract gives moisture to your face skin. *Portulaca oleracea extract keeps your face skin healthy. *Witch hazel extract organize and tighten your face skin. *Hyaluronic acid gives your face skin tension and flexibleness. *Collagen gives your face skin tension and luster.  I kind of like it except in the end the scent kind of get to me. It's a very wet mask, so can be a bit slippery. But it stick on the face, so it's alright. And it fits my face quite nicely even though it doesn't seems that way. It's just comfortable on the face. It's hydrating. Plus I'm using this in an air con room, and my face feels very cooking. It's like...

For a lipstick, this has more of a jelly texture. It's really nice to apply. But it feels more like a balm. The color is surprisingly good. It stays true on my lips. I love it. The thing about this, is that it is such a soft lip product, so it's better not to bring this out. So I never put this in my purse.  I don't know. I like this. But I don't really reach for it. It's also not cheap. To me cheap is like Essence or Catrice that kind of pricing. So, it's kind of a waste of money for me. But I still like it. I just prefer my other lipsticks.   

Work made me eat at hawker centre a lot. Which is fine but it can stink up your hair. So I bought this just to counter that food scent. This is in the Floral Savon scent, which is very floral. It smells nice, a bit fake like a salon scent. It just makes my hair smell so much better. No more that food court scent. So love this for that.  This is 80g, made in Japan. The height is as tall as an iPhone 6+. So it's actually quite big for the handbag which is what I wanted to have this for. I think a 50g pacakaging will be much better, more travel friendly. So because of that, I don't really use this as much as I would like. Such a pity. But I think you can always store this at the office and use it in the ladies. Not recommend to spray in air con room. The scent just a bit too much for everybody.   

I read review that this shade medium is a good shade for those with NC35 skin. I might have read the review wrongly cause this is just way too dark for me. It's also for normal/oily skin. So not true. This turns oily after a couple of hours. I mean look at the swatch, it's a shiny reflective cream. It's quite thick but apply on skin quite ok. It's a light to medium coverage. Blends in alright and will stay on your skin. But it's not for oily skin.  If you have this, really have the shake before use as the product will seperate. Not pretty. I quite regret getting this. I guess it's the color. Maybe if I get one in light, it will be much better for me. As oily skin can be blotted. Oh well.   

Love mini lipsticks, I just wish that it won't run out so I can forever use them and put them in my bag. This Lancôme one is good as the color is very sweet. Application is smooth and it's quite true to the colors. Usually, I will have trouble getting light pink to show up on my lips. I probably wouldn't like this as much if it was a full size. But as a mini, it's lovely.

Smells so good. It's quite a tiny, harsh scrub. It is ok as long as you don't put so much pressure on it. But what I love about this is that it is so moisturising. Once I rinse off, my skin feels so smooth. I love it. I love the scent too. Not too artificial but just very fresh. I recommend this scrub highly. It is also only $13, $10.40 during Sephora sale. Well I mean for 140ml, can be quite expensive but so worth it.   

This is really creamy. But I have to squeeze more than a dollar coin size. That will pretty much just cover half of my body. So using a loofa will be a better option. This lather on quite ok, not so bubbly. The worse feeling is when rinsing, it always feel that there are some residue left behind but it's just actually the fact your skin is very moisturise. I like it as I don't need to apply body lotion after and I don't have dry skin anymore.  The scent is nice. It's suppose be tea tree, but it doesn't smell like that. At least not like what The Body Shop scent is like. It's just a very clean refreshing unique scent. It's not floral, not musky. I don't know how to describe it, but it's just a nice mild scent.   

I love Kate lipsticks, but their colours are on the pastel  side which does notmy really suit me. So now I have a bunch of Kates that I love but I can't really seem to wear. This is shade 38 which is neutral with a pink undertone. It swatched pretty but on the lips, doesn't suit me as well. As much as I love the color, I just think it does not appear as nice as I would want them to.   

Buy anything and you can purchase this for $5, so why not. It's an ok wipes. I mean it is gentle and an overall manages to remove makeup off my face. So for $5 it is not bad. Not sure what is the full price but I probably wouldn't buy it again if it's not $5.  The wipes are quite big so that's nice. I remember that's one of the reason I like about it. I also just use this without thinking much. Even though I have a lot of other wipes I wasn't thinking of please faster run out. That's mean I do like the wipes. But I just can't remember anything else about this. That's mean it just doesn't leave a good enough impression on me. I guess it's just average.   

This is slightly better than the light blue which is for whitening. At least it's better than that, for my skin. This has a nice fragrance, and it's very moisturising. Ok for night time, but morning kind of too oily for me. It sinks into the skin alright, but I don't know, I don't really like using it.   

Well speaking of my fav brow product, I'll show you what I have been using to fill in my brows. These are the four brushes that I rotate around. When it comes to brow, I like bristle to be thick and coarse. That way I brush the hair too instead of just colouring in. My fav is the shortest one. It's the first brow brush I got. Bought it at Sasa and it's a nobrand brush. Tried looking for it again, and I can't find it anymore. It's very thick and tough which is perfect for me. So it's very easy and fast to use this.  Next is something new. Just bought it during Sephora sale, $13.60 from $17. It's also very nice to use. It's thick, softer than the nobrand one, and really easy to apply brow powder. I really enjoy using this. If your brow hair is not unruly, this is a better product. But if taming your hair is important, the nobrand one is better.  I have one from manicare. Bought this at $5 I think. This has a thinner bristle. But still slightly thicker than...

I got one in medium. I think it will be the perfect shade for me and it is. I really like this. Once I opened this, I can't help but only use this. I really like the colors, I like the texture. The wax part is not so waxy that it became sticky. It's just a nice texture. It helps to darken the shape of the brows. The powder is lighter and it's a good shade to fill in the rest of the brows. These also doesn't fade away, so it's a good whole day product. You can count this to stay on. Plus if need to have a darker brows, you can thicken the color. For US$3, it's really one of the best brow product I've used.   

Happy Halloween! It's tomorrow what the heck. You kind of need to plan ahead. But as usual, I don't have anything going on. So I just thought of putting on black lipstick. I always wanted to be able to pull the look of wearing black lipstick. If I smile often, I seriously think this looks good. Even for me, it is a good contrasting colour. I like it. It's not easy to use as its a dark colour. But overall all MUA lipsticks is good. The price is good so the quality is fine for the price, well even better than I expect. So yeah, one day I will wear it out. 

The shape if the mask doesn't really suit my face. So it's a bit off for me. This is for restoring, purifying and moisturising. It's a bit tingly at some part of the face. I'm sure it is not suppose to. It sort of irritate my face but it's still bearable. This doesn't have a scent. Overall it feels moisturising, so it's ok enough for me.   

A lot of raves about these. I just had to try them. Bought this at Europe with a help from a friend. And seriously the shade is just so off when choosing it from the net. There is no name, just numbers. Not sure how that friend come out with 2 very contrasting colors, but there is that.  15 is way too light for me. 30 is way too dark. Even if used as a cream contour, it's too dark. When I mix them, at least it's more wearable. Still on the darker side though.  The product itself is ok. It's creamy and pigmented. Doesn't seems to crease but I find that it won't last. I am also unsure if it's the color or the coverage that is just not that strong.   

I bought the wrong one. I wanted some Japanese mascara that people said was good I don't really know what is the brand, but it's just one of those brands that you see hanging around at Watsons with the rest of the mascaras and eyeliners. Anyway, this is not that bad. This is the 2 in 1 which consist of 1 Day Lash Perm in Black and 1 Day Tattoo Lasting Eyeliner in Super Black. Mascara is a dry one. I like it. It's a good natural mascara if you just lightly coat your lash. Or a dramatic mascara if you use more. It sort of clump but a good lash seperator brush thing can help. Anyway the more you use it, it doesn't seems to clump anymore. it just coat every lashes and turn them really black, quite dramatic but not volumous. I like that my lashes get sort of curl even though I don't curl it. The wand is nice. It is not flexible so it has a lot of control. The wand is curve with a lot of different length britles. The eyeliner is quite good. After a few seconds, it sets. N...

A shiny red, this is very glossy. It appears more like a gloss. A tad bit sticky but that's what will make it last longer. The color is actually quite sheer. But it will stain your lips, once the shine is gone. I kind of like the stained color. It's so bright and Popsicle looking if you know what I mean.  It is not a bad thing. Just not really a big fan of this. I like the Foxy Amber better. For some reason this just is not as comfortable on the lips as that.   

This has a verh nice scent. It's sweet, but not candy sweet. The mask is quite a thick cream that makes layering very uneven. It is ok though as in the end, you just put on as long as it covers everything. It is also a pink, a light pink mask, so its quite fun. It appears more white on the face. This mask burn my face. After putting on for 15 seconds, it just hurt my face. I felt like my face was burning. And it is mostly on my forehead and chin. Even after removing it with water and putting cooling gel, it still felt burn. It is bad. After an hour, still same. Plus it travel all the way to my eyes. It's like putting those heating oilment with your hands and you accidentally rub your eyes or after holding chili and you accidentally rub your eyes. It feels that way. Luckily my face did not turn red. So this is the first NO product for me.

It can be used on wet or dry hair. It claims to tackle hair tangles and leaves hair shaft define and frizz free.  Its a plastic hair brush which is hard and rigid for combing. At least on the scalp. For the rest of the hair length, it's ok as it doesn't touch the skin. So it's not hard and painful. It does glide easily. So it does do its job of tangling hair. Then again, my hais in the first place is not that tangled. But I guess cause of the wide comb bristle, if just makes it easy to comb through the hair.  My hais is also very thin and fragile. So I feel that it pulls at my hair a tad too much. A lot of hair will be pull out, but it doesn't really tug at it. Plus I am used to small hair brush, so this is quite too big for me. I think this will be better for those who have beautiful thick hair. It will definitely help them.   

It is basically translate to ready-to-wear smoky eyes palette. It's a khaki shades, which is a unique shade. It will make a really pretty smokey eyes. Not the typical grey or purple smokey eyes. The packaging is also quite unique as you have to push the cover instead and it will pop up.  Shadows are smooth, pigmented and shimmery. A Greenish grey, metallic sort of glittery black silver and a shimmery gold. The glittery is a bit rougher than the other colours. But this is first time I'm quite impress with Dior shadows. Usually they fade or blend upon application. At least these ones the color doesn't really move around. At it lasted better than the ones I tried. So I really do like this.   

Got this from a friend. She's not a big fan of different scents. While I just love trying out new things.  The Nuptial Bouquet by Atkinsons is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. The Nuptial Bouquet was launched in 2013. The fragrance features lily-of-the-valley, violet, myrtle, sandalwood and musk. This is an EDT, but the scent is quite strong. Like a lily version of Chanel 5. I may be way off, but that's what it remind me off. First sniff is nice, but it got very overpowering. From a subtle hint of lily to something more musky. A bit too sharp in the end. So initially it's nice, it turn into something quite pungent in my opinion. So take a sniff and turn away.

This doesn't work as what it claimed. My skin not fair, but it doesn't even help to prevent me from having a tan. I mean I sort of use it after sun lotion. As I don't want to tan, but it doesn't help. I guess this product is not even for me, but you know at least it is Vaseline so it should be good. But in term of moisturizer, it is average. Takes time to sink into the skin, so overall not my favorite from Vaseline.    

Other than lipsticks, I have way too many blush to last me a lifetime. But I just can't help it. I love blushers. I love the "girly" colors. Ok, the feminine colors. They are just so pretty. I especially love this. It's so long lasting. I thought my MAC prolong blush is good, this is even better. It really stay put. It doesn't turn oily on the cheeks. It just really stain the cheek. But a makeup wipes easily remove the color. So Ya. I really like this. 

This is in shade Body Pop 1, a light pink. It's a sort of light neon pink, but on me, it's a pale pink. A bit on the milky side, but very pale on me. I guess cause I have pigmented lips, so it doesn't appear well. It claimed to last for 6 hours. But it doesn't. It's a bit sticky, but comfortable. Wouldn't repurchase in any other shade, but it's ok. The wand is also alright.   

I like this. The packaging is vacuum type, so the product kept coming up instead of being stuck on at the bottom of the bottle. The pump also disperse the right amount of product. One pump is just enough for my whole face. I really like this cause it does help with controlling the t-zone. I find that my face is less oily. This doesn't foam up, so it can be a bit hard to use tools to wash the face. But it's really a good product.

It is a nice toner. But just a toner, nothing so special about it. But it doesn't leave me oily so that's good. It just those toner that you know is good but not something that I will personally go out my way to find. But if I really no toner, (impossible) I will consider buying this.   

The dupe of the much rave Makeup Forever HD powder. Personally I'm not a fan of loose powder. So this is just ok for me. I guess it is finely milled and all, and it does highlight your face in a good way. But application is messy. It's slightly whiter, so it sort of "whiten" your face if you are not fair skin. I sort of like this is if I'm going out for a dinner and not much photo will be taken. They say it will give out white cast, but it doesn't on me. I guess I didn't wear enough. But this last forever. So it's really value for money. A good dupe to try.    

I love lipstick, so naturally I want try this. This is a story of lipstick in New York. More exactly created in mind for 3 neighborhood in NY. Each color says something about the women who resides in those neighborhood. The packaging is a really cool magnetic closer book. It's bulky, but really nice if you can get more. It will be like a nice collection of "books" on the shelf.    So let's take a look at the lipsticks.     Upper East, the elegant nude. How is this nude? I guess it's a neutral shade. A more wearable shade. It gives the lips a light wash of color. It's more watermelon pink. A sheer jelly like finish.     Central Park, the refined peach. This is so not peach. It's more of a bright pink. It looks more red on the tube.  It's quite loud. It's more pigmented than the rest. It's just a beautiful color on the lips. Really will help to brighten up the face. It's a shiny finish.    Soho, the fashionable red. This looks dark in...
