Lash Sensational

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...

Exage White White Milk II

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. A milk tonic that helps to replenish and control oil balance, it whitens and hydrates skin for instant brighter and smoother complexion. FEATURES · Milk tonic for brighter & smoother complexion · Replenishes & controls oil balance · Whitens & hydrates · Smooth illumination in an instant DIRECTIONS FOR USE After washing your face, take a desired amount (about 3 pumps) onto a piece of cotton.

Baby Lips - Pink Punch

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.   

LM Tinted Moisturiser

 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.   

Tea Tree Concealer

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. 

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster

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.   

First Impression: Pure Smile Blue Heart Mask

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...

17 Mirror Shine - Shouty

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.   

Baby Veil Hair Fragrance

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.   

No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream

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.   

Rouge in Love - 132M

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.

Sephora Smoothing Body Scrub - Blueberry

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.   

Sephora Creamy Body Wash - Green Tea

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.   

Kate 38

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.   

Vitamin E Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes

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.   

Laneige Water Bank Essence_Ex

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.   

Brow Brushes

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...

ELF Eyebrow Kit

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.
