Ecotools Four Piece Beautiful Complexion Set

This is quite nice as the packaging itself can be turned to be gift wrap with a silver bow. There is 4 brushes. Each one has a beautiful teal leaf decorated and bamboo handle. All the brushes are thick and dense. They don't shed which is nice.  Mattifying Finish  is a big fluffy brush to be use for powder. It's great as a setting powder brush. I feel that it pick up the right amount of loose powder. It can also be use as a blush brush, but the blush must be one that is not as pigmented. It will be better as an overall bronzing brush. Just swipe across the face.  Correcting Concealer is the smallest brush. I like to use this for buffing in the concealer on spots.     Eye Perfecting is bigger than concealer brush. It's more tampered at the end and longer making it the perfect undereye brush.  Skin Perfecting is a slight angle brush. It is too dense for concealing as the product seem to be absorbed into the brush. I guess it will be good as a contouring brush....

First Impression: dermasoul Bright Mask

Like all the dermasoul masks, it has the pattern on it. This is not as messy, as the essence is not as much. That's a lie. I pretty much squeeze out the essence when removing this from the packet. So that's one way to reduce mess.    The mask feels really thick for some reason. And it does make my face itchy. Ugh. I may not be suited to Leaders Clinic masks. But I have to admit it does make my face look brighter even though I only wore this for 10 minutes. 

b.pretty Lipliner

  Grab all 6 shades. It has no name but numbers. It's not exactly an easy liner to apply. Some shade like 3 is easier to glide on the lips for some reason. The rest is a bit hard. It takes time to warm up. So if your lips is really smooth, this will be ok. With dry lips, totally no.    1 is a pink shade. It is pretty and wearable. More of a neutral pink.  2 is a dark brownish shade. It's more of a purple base on the lips, but it's just too dark on the lips. It just make me look dead.  3 is a rosey pink. It's more red actually. It swatched red, but can be worn lightly and turn pink just like on my lips above.  4 is suppose to be a nude brown. But it's pretty on the lips. It's wearable but it's a bit hard to apply.  5 is reddish brown. It look much darker on the lips. It also appear more metallic. Sort of. So it's kind of weird. And it's very dry.  6 is a coral. It's actually suppose to be more reddish nude. But on the lips it turn coral. I guess i...

Aqua Blossom PocketBac

I still prefer the scent of sweet pea, but aqua blossom is alright too. I feel the alcohol scent is a lot stronger than the scent of the flowers. It does its job. So no complain.

Garnier PureActive Fruit Energy Daily Energizing Gel Wash

  Someone recommend me this facial wash. It's alright. The grapefruit is not strong enough. I thought it will be a scent that will wake me up. In the end it's ok. An average cleanser. It removes makeup ok. But still better for a morning cleanser. It doesn't exactly remove off my pimples but no more spots come into light. So I think it's really good in that sense. It's gentle. For oily skin, it's ok. Can it last, not really. But I mean it's good enough. 

Rouge Coco - 21 Rivoli

Was looking for a something a little bit darker than the usual red. Then the SA intro me to the shade Rivoli. It's a beautiful deep berry colour. The best part is that it's so dark, so it sort of stain the lips. Which is really prefect. So at least you won't be left with empty bare lips.  Rouge Coco is very smooth and easy to apply. It's a glossy finish and is pigmented on the first apply. It can also be used sparingly, with just tapping the lips using the finger. It will just gives a very light berry stain. Double coat makes it more deep. It's beautiful on the lips regardless. As it's a dark colour. It's quite messy to apply. The colour doesn't run much, but you really have to carefully apply it. Regardless no regret. 

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Morning Eye Rescue

Liked this. I am not sure if this is specially for the am. It just said sos morning eye rescue. But I do apply this at night. It helps with slight puffiness but not with black undereye. But with constant application, I do notice a different. So I guess this does help making the under eyes look better. 

MAC 129SE

This is kind of rough for MAC brush. I thought it will be the super soft kind. Granted it's a holiday collection. It's small enough for traveling and it's good at picking out pigmented blushes. I do feel that it pick the right amount of pigment. 

Manga

Some people love this. Some people hate it. It's a non waterproof mascara. So cleaning is easy. But I find that it does last on the lashes until you want it gone. It gives volume and it can look very spidery. It will clump. So I really have to just coat it thinly.  The wand is flexible with the bristles having different lengths. It's good for coating and separating the lashes. At least that's what it's suppose to do. As long as I just use a few thin coats, the mascara is good enough for me. In term of curling, it is ok.  Overall, it's ok for me. It's volumising. As long as it's a bit, it won't clump. Not my fav, but it's ok. 

Precious Mineral BB Cream

This is a sample size bb cream. It has 3 different variant, so it's really nice to be able to try out the different type. Blooming Fit is the most watery among the rest. It's a beige skin tone shade. A more of a yellow base. It's quite a thick coverage. At least on the medium side. Cotton Fit is quite nice. It's swatch out very pigmented. It's more brightening. Cause I guess the color is more peachy. Perfect Fit is the lightest shade. I mean it's just very light when swatch. I guess the picture don't do much justice. But it's more highlighting. It's ok but it is not good for pores. It just makes my pore looks super obvious.

Kate 34

  I really like the texture of Kate lipstick. The colors are always appealing to me. But the problem is nothing seems to suit me very much. Well except for the darker colors. 34 is a very pretty bubblegum pink. It's just so sweet and pretty and you just kind of want to lick it.  Swatches beautifully. Pigmented. Smooth. But the lips it's kind of patchy. Plus the color is just a tad much on me. It's not really a cute look. Ok maybe cute but not pretty. I think I should really stop buying Rimmel lipsticks. 

Lady Million

  Anne Flipo, Béatrice Piquet and Dominque Ropion have all created scents for some of the biggest names in perfumery. But what path did they take to create Lady Million? “It was clear that this perfume had to be as charismatic as 1 Million, with as strong a signature, yet without a direct olfactory link. The Lady Million woman is dazzling, always seductive. This ‘playful’ aspect inspired us immensely. Lady Million is fresh, floral and woody, like a nectar of voluptuous flowers, trailing delicately but still very present. Powerfully seductive, the sparkle of bitter orange with a touch of raspberry reveals the first breath. A burst of neroli follows, smooth and bright. But then the lethal weapon of heady orange blossom slips out of its sheath. Its narcotic sweetness bewitches and grabs all attention. Then, joining with Arabian jasmine underlined by gardenia, the blend soars into something more carnal, yet ever subtle. Now the obsessive pulsing of patchouli enters the fray, pacifying ...

Baby Lips - Cherry Pie

  Don't really like the fruit punch which is a pink shade. Cherry pie is a sheer reddish shade. It's more visible on the lips. So it's actually a very nice wearable colour. The scent also doesn't smell like cherry, which is good. What I like the most is that it kind of sort of stain my lips. I know it's not in the claim, but it always does stain my lips. So it's good. Well unless I eat, it will last slightly longer.  Plus it is a balm, which is good. Cause it's not drying. So it's just one of those product that is actually very comfortable on the lips. Now I understand why people love this.
