The Stuff I'd Used

Really love the chocolate range from Too Faced. It's nice to open them and be hit with a scent of cocoa. This is the medium/deep matte bronzer. A travel size of only 4g. I believe they do have other shades. But this come in a kit with the Better Than Sex Mascara . Anyway, the color is kind of plotchy when swatch. It's a cool tone bronzer. It's a good shade for me. But depending on the brush I use, I will get different pigmentation.  With a fluffy brush, I wouldn't have to blend so hard. With a contour brush, it tends to pick up more product, so it will be more obvious on the face. So I will have to blend more. Just goes to show that this shade is darker for my face. Not so dark that it won't work, but it's dark that it can be use a contouring bronzer. I also can use this to warm up my face. Yes I say it's a cool tone bronzer, but for some reason when it manage to swatch evenly, it's warm. It supposed to be matte, but it kind of gives a light sheen. So it...

With NYX being more readily available in the market, there's just so many affordable lipstick to choose from. But Essence is still one of the cheapest and for the price, the product is not bad. Look at those lips. I happened to get a good pic or it just looks beautiful in photos. Either way, it's a light, more on the sheer side red. But can be layered and will appear slightly pigmented. Then again, my lips made it so. It's easy to wear this red, oh the color is call Almost Famous. So appropriate as this color is not those wow red but just almost. A bit on the magenta side I guess. Still perfect for anyone trying out with red for the first time.  But I have to say. It's not the best lipstick out there. It's a light in texture. Easy to apply. Glossy finish. More like a gel finish. No need to use lip liner. Beautifully applied on. Dry out the lips.  Yup. It dries the lips and that's the one thing I don't like about it. So wear a lipbalm before hand. And a smoot...

Finally I tried this. It's a serum and day cream. I like them.     Dead Sea Osmoter Concentrate is a very thin liquid serum that can be used for both day and night time. The scent is a bit minty but not those fresh one. Like a herbal mint but not the chinese herbal.  When first apply, it feels quite oily. But then it sinks into the skin quite fast and doesn't leave the skin looking greasy. So that's great.  Extreme Day Cream is also the the same. It's thicker and less fluid but gives the same finish as the serum. It's great cause it won't appear oily after I set it with a powder. I really enjoy wearing them.  I really like that at night my face appear so radiant. It was weird. I never use anything else except these. And yet I saw a difference. So impress with this. So I will consider this when I run out of moisturizer or serum to try. 

I've been looking for this concealer for ages. Guardian is forever sold out on it. Finally I found the last piece at Guardian Plus. I love it. It's so creamy. It's not those concealer where it's creamy when swatch but eventually dry down. This one is just so buttery. Really good for blending. It's also quite pigmented when swatch. On the face is average. Covers blemishes alright. The darkest shade fits my skin tone. Then again the medium one is ok too. So I tend to mix them both. Mix with the lighter one too. Red one is so scary pink. It's really more reddish on the skin. It's good to counter under eyes circle. But I feel you can still see the red. So I will use the lightest shade to brighten my under eyes. It instantly wakes you up. Even with just the pink shade, you looks much more awake. So it's a wonderful concealer. The green one is just green. Good to counter redness on your face. It's the one I use less as my face is not so inflamed as it used...

I heard a few years back that this is like one of the best lip gloss in the world. That was before NYX butter gloss exist. Anyway you can't find this in Singapore. I had to ask my friend to pick this up for me at I can't remember where. I just wanted to try and know why is this a good gloss. I am also not sure if it is this particular gloss or other kind. They have a few different kind in the same like packaging. This one is in shade 01 Rose Shimmer. Just a pretty light pink. It's so sweet when swatch. On my lips, you can barely see a thing. My pigmented lips is too dark for this. It's still pretty nonetheless. It's comfortable on the lips and I like the packaging. I like how when you squeeze the tube, the right amount of gloss will come out. It is a gel like consistency. Well a mix between gel and gloss. The sponge applicator is also very nice. People compare it to a shiny balm, but I guess in this kind of weather you will be able to tell that it is more of a gloss...

My colleague came back from Taiwan and bought me this. It's a handy little thing. It's been some times since I used a scrub. So I've been enjoying the change. ✅ Good gentle strong scrub ✅ Smells good. Clean. ✅ Doesn't hurt ✅ Not bad overall ❎ Doesn't lather very well ❎ Have to use a lot of product ❎ Don't know where to buy A good body scrub. I enjoy using it. It's gentle yet powerful. I just don't like that I have to use a lot of product. I squeeze out a golf ball size and that will be enough for only both my arms. Sure I can extend it out a bit but I have squeeze more for the rest of my body. I especially like to use this for my legs before shaving. It's good for that. I can't be sure of the price but it's not bad regardless.

This is so unique. The mask is is like a jelly. So different from the usual sheet masks. Furthermore it is separated into 2. So you apply the top half then put on the bottom half which cover your mouth area. It is good this way as it can be adjustable. It is just better to suit the different face shape. So this is a 24k gold and Syn-Ake mask which basically helps to keep the skin texture smooth. I guess since it is a hydro gel it is also helps to keep your skin hydrated. It is made in Korea. And I like how the packaging is so simplistic. Smells really good too. Not sure what it is, but it's nice. Nothing spa like or florally. But that's just the essence cause you can't smell it when it is on your face. Yah, I really like the mask. It's just so jelly and fun. Also not as messy as the essence is not overflowing. The mask also has the pattern like snake skin. Cause of this all, it just makes me happy applying this mask. I just kept grabbing at it. The result, I don't ...

Once you are comfortable with red, you will forever wanting to wear red. I'm loving this brighter red from Makeup Revolution at the moment. It's just brighter and more bold among my reds. Easy to apply, last forever and not drying. It's another beautiful lipstick to use on a day to day basis. I mean it's great as a night out too obviously. But the price of this lipstick just makes it so much more comfortable to apply daily. I don't know about you, but sometimes I rather use cheap product daily and use the expensive ones for special occasion only. A bit silly. But that's me. The different between MUR Dare and Lady is that the former is matte. Dare also seems less pigmented. But in person, it is not. Plus you can always layer it. My lips are pigmented enough so it won't seems like it's not red enough. Lady just makes you feel like a lady. I always thought that it will be difficult to pull off as it's more warm. But it's actually really classic, bri...

Von told me that I should be religious with my mask and I totally agree with her. It's just so hard to commit sometimes. But reading her blog every Monday where she did Mask Away Your Blues really motivates you to mask. But reviewing is another story. It's the same as all the duo lifting mask. The fit and the shape. So it's not the most comfortable as it is quite tight at the ear area. The masks are too slim. My face is already small, so I wonder how others find this. Anyway this is the double platinum + white peony mask. Suppose to be for whitening and brightening, nourishing and softening and basically just improve skin radiance. The result, my skin is visibly whiter. Thus it seems brighter. And my skin is so much smoother and bouncier. Even though when you peel off the mask, there is still some essence lingering on your face and it feels really sticky, some part of your face is drier and feels soft. Not sure if that makes sense, but there you go. The effect of this mas...

I do like Revlon lustrous lipsticks. They are just a simple very classic kind of lipstick. Nothing much to say except they are just good average. Average color payoff, average usage, average price point. Just average. It is not bad, I do like them. They have so much color but it's pricey to buy in Sg. So I got them in airport duty free. Rose & Shine is a pearly rosy neutral shade. It's very pretty. But on my lips it just look like my lip color with a light bronzy gold shine. So I guess it's the most nude it can be on me. It is just lighter a tad. So makes my lips more even, more clean and more uniform. The color can be build up but still nude on me. Overall I do like it. But it's still an average lipstick. As the color is not something I will use regularly. But I just have to admit that it compliment my skin really well.

I got this for Christmas. I love makeup, so I love receiving makeup kits. This is something I never really heard people talk about. I know they sell this in Sephora, but I just don't see anyone ever mentioning it.

Claimed to remove makeup and waterproof mascara. Gently cleanse and soothe in one easy step. The first two sheets are quite dry. The third onwards are so much better. Still not as wet as I would like them. This is not a gentle wipe at all. It's quite hard to remove makeup. Had to really drag the wipe across my face. In the end it can remove makeup, waterproof mascara a bit harder but doable. It's just hard on my skin. It's painful. I wouldn't recommend this.

Look at those cute mini packaging. Agave Cactus is a range to hydrate, reduce wrinkles and lightens your skin tone. Well all I have is a little sample. But it does last a long time. I don't see a brightening effect after constant use. Don't even need to talk about wrinkles. Won't be able to see that. I guess prevention is the key. But it claimed to be able to remove wrinkles. So that's interesting if I have wrinkles for now, which I don't. At least I think I don't. Only hydrating seems to be the only claimed that worked. But having oily skin, it doesn't work as well for me. So it's a waste really. I should have save these for a colder weather or country. It will be the perfect duo to bring along for travel.

Smells so good. This is a clear lip balm, so I find that it is better than the rest as it doesn't gives off the colors that doesn't seems to suit me but does with everyone else. The raspberry gives off the white cast on my lips. So I enjoy this so much more.

There was a time when I loved lip plumper. I love the tingling sensation. It's just fun regardless of how it made my lips look. I don't see my lips get bigger, so quite a useless plumper. But it tingles and it is good as a gloss. I thought the color will be too light for me. But it's actually a good nude shade. In fact can be worn in one thin coat and it will appear clear. Two coat will be better, but it really depend on your skin tone I guess. Oh, the color is Cocoa My Coconut. A cream nude shade that's not too pigmented. It smells lovely. Like a combination of cocoa and coconut. But not coconut tropical scent. It also doesn't linger on the lips. It has a good amount of shine and doesn't feel as sticky as some gloss does. But you can feel it on the lips. Some product feel so comfortable you forgot it was there, this is not one of the product. The applicator is a doe foot, so it's pretty standard. Overall not bad, but I wouldn't purchase it again. I forg...
