jabs Make Up Remover Wipes

  Had to get this cause it's just so pink with polka dots. Remind me of S&G. Anyway bought this in Thailand, so I think it is a Thai brand. It's ok. It removes the face makeup. Not good for eye makeup. If get into your eyes, kind of hurt. I think all these cheap wipes, regardless of how cute, is just not that worth trying. I mean it is also not dirt cheap. For like a pack of 5/6 sheets,  the price is not exactly cheap. Daiso is much cheaper. That's all. 

EL Pure Colour - Rose Petal

  This is another frosty like shade. It is suppose to be a Creme but it swatch rather frosty. It's like a pink with silver sheen. On the lips, the frost is not so obvious. It's just a very smooth lipstick. It's a dream to apply. I mean it's a high end brand, so it should be doing wonders. It is. I mean. It's a great lipstick. It's just the colour is not something I will grab. It just doesn't catch my attention enough. 

Modelsprefer Styling Radial

  Bought this at Priceline. Wanted to get Jane brand, but this was on sale. It's also Priceline house brand. It's not a bad brush. It has a longer plastic strands and the compact fibre strands in a row. It's a round comb that it perfect blowing hair or detangling. I mean it is quite hard to detangle, but it work. Even though I have to sort of rough to my hair when combing through. Surprisingly, it doesn't remove a lot of my hair when I comb it through. Usually when combing, one or two strands will fall.  This is for medium to long hair, is perfect for me now, before I cut my hair. But when I cut my hair, it will be a medium length anyway. So it's suppose to be a volume and shape, grooming brush. I find that it does a really good job at smoothing out flyaway. I comb my hair nightly with this brush, and it just leaves my hair very soft and smooth.  Also good for blowing. The fibre grab on to the hairs well, thus making little curls possible. What can I say? Comb your ...

Clump Crusher

  All of 2013(?) when this mascara come out, all I really wanted was to try it. A mascara that doesn't clump the lashes. I never heard anyone say anything bad about it. So after all these while, I finally get my hands on one. So excited. Does this really doesn't clump? I find that if you use a few coats, it will eventually clump the lashes. It's good as any good mascara can be. But it really is just that. Nothing sort of special. But I like the fact that even if you don't curl your lashes, this can curl it a bit. So it won't be so straight. So it's really nice. 

Primed & Poreless

  I just wanted a primer for me to bring for holiday. I was going to a wedding, so I wanted one that it is small enough to bring with me, but something that will last. I never expect much from this as I never try this. So I was pleasantly surprise to find this lasting very long on my face. My face doesn't get oily. It is just a good primer. It's smooth, and easily apply. A bit silicon feel, but I like that. It is a skintone shade, but it is clear on the face.  I feel that this is very similar to the Porefressional. It doesn't have any scent though. And Benefit can last longer on me. I used this in Sydney. The weather is hot but not humid. Unlike Singapore, where makeup tend to wear off. So, this is really good, but not as good at humid weather condition. 

Super Lustrous Lipstick - Champagne On Ice

  Still love the lustrous lipstick from Revlon. But this one the colour is a bit off for me. It's more of a pinky bronze colour. It's very metallic on me when it's suppose to be a pearl finish. Application is smooth. Pigmentation is good. Swatch really nice too. It's a really nice colour if you can pull it off. I mean, it looks alright. But this makes my chapped lips super obvious. So it's just not the right shade for me. Since my lips are really dry all the time. But when it is ok, this looks ok. But I guess it really depend of "brown" tone lipstick is for you or not. 

Nuxe Moisturisers

Tried more Nuxe Moisturisers. I do like Nuxe as a brand. And I feel their skincare is really good for all skin type, despite what it says for normal/oily/dry skin. It's just good for anyone who sleeps in air condition room or in cold country.  Moisturising Deep Wrinkle Emulsion is quite hydrating and yet doesn't leave my skin oily. Really nice sample to have around.  Brightening Moisturising Emulsion is a good moisturiser. It helps to hydrate dry skin without leaving it greasy. It is gentle on the skin. I think this is their whitening range, but I see no difference to my skin tone.  Ultra Comfortable Face Cream is stated for day, so I guess it has SPF. I totally did not pay attention to the details except to just use it on the day. I am a bit scared of this as it stated for dry skin. In the end, it's alright but not my favourite. And it's a bit whiter on the skin then the rest, so had to make sure everything is really blended into the skin. 

First Impression: Time To Clean Purifying Mud Mask

Love myself some mud mask. I'm suppose to use this for 2 minutes then rinse off. But it doesn't quite dry yet upon 2 minutes plus. Plus this is a 6g sample but surprisingly it's not really enough for my whole face.  It's ok. It doesn't tighten. I still can roughly move my face. Even though it did slightly crack. It's a bit hard to rinse off but it makes your face super clean. Face looks more radiant. Love it. It's good as a sample size where you can take for holiday but to buy the full size, I just don't think I will. I still prefer Glamglow. Plus this has an after scent. When using it, you can't really smell it. It's after washing that it smell of the mud. 

Trilogy Handbag Heroes

Got this for Christmas. It's a very nice small trio set with a cute small makeup pouch. It's smaller than my iPhone plus. So it has a Rosehip Oil Antioxidant, Ultra Hydrating Hand Cream and Rosehip Oil Lip Balm.    The lipbalm has peppermint in it, so its quite nice. It is a clear oily rather liquid-like balm. It is 7ml, so really good decent amount. It makes your lips rather shiny. So it can be used a clear gloss I guess. It's not bad, helps prevent chapped lips during cold weather, but it doesn't exactly heal them if you have cracked lips.  The oil is ulti purpose. I guess the main purpose is to actually use them as a moisturiser. Like a touch up on the go, if your face start to get dry. I don't really like the smell. It takes time to get used to it. It is only 2.5ml, but a little goes a long way. It has like a little pump, so that's nice too. In the end, this can only be used for cold weather. Or basically for people with dry skin. I still keep it in my bag, ...

Topshop Lips in Hazard

  Got this for Christmas and I hardly use it. But I still like it. It's just I'm back to not wearing red. It's a smooth application and the colour is real pretty. Looks, darker on the tube but on my lips, it has a warmer tone. It's not an easy red. So lipliner is recommended. Lasting power is average, but like all red, or most red, it sort of leave behind some residue. So the lips will not be bare. Kinda patchy, but still decent looking. 

Maybelline Eye Quad

  It's neutral. It's a quad. Some people think that is underrated. But personally it's just an average eyeshadow to me. It may seem like it swatch very well, but on the eyes is quite bla. The colours blended all together making it one shade. I don't know, it just seems like a good quad for beginners but I don't really see how it is work for the newbie. Even with eye primer, the colours still doesn't show up on me. 

First Impression: LA Fresh Oil Free Face Cleanser Wipe

I like that it comes individually wrap. Every after so long, the wipes are still wet. It feels more like a wet tissue rather than a cleansing oil. It's not a gentle wipe but it's alright. It does remove the makeup. But I will not recommend this for sensitive skin. 

L'Occitane Hand Cream - Jasmin

  This is lovely. It has a very nice jasmine scent but it's very subtle. It's a nice floral. Mild and calm and pretty. Yes pretty, it feels pretty. 

Pro Longwear Concealer

  Love this. Beauty gurus said that is one of the most high coverage concealer. I so agree. It's a really blendable high pigment concealer. It's good for covering blemishes and it last all day. My shade is NC30. I feel like the shade match is not perfect, but it's alright. It takes some time for me to really find a shade that is good for me. But I roughly I am using NC30 and/or NC35. So I just had to choose between that too and a couple that is close.  So Ya, a little goes a long way. The pump is quite solid so I tend to always pump a whole lot more than I needed. So I apply under my eyes too, no creasing which is good. I can't quite remember how much I bought this for. But Ya, it's worth every cent. 

Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color

  This is like one of the best eyeshadow out there. It's in a pencil form so I can say it works as an eyeliner too. It's just so smudge proof. I swipe it across my hand to take this photo and then I tried to wipe it off and nothing. It doesn't budge. It just stay on. It suppose to last forever I guess I mean it won't as eventually you can rub it off. But it does stay put for a good 20 minute or so.  It's so easy to put on. It just glide on beautifully. On my oily lids, it will be better with a primer first as I do find it will slowly dissappear but I mean it's good enough. Plus I love the fact that it doesn't crease. I guess as long as you don't rub your eyes, it will last a long time. Plus if you don't let it set within 5/10seconds, it can still be blended.  The colour is Gilt which is a beautiful gold glitter. It's more of a shimmer actually. It's just a true gold. I love it. 

Revitalift Revitalising Cleansing Wipes

I kind of like this pacakaging cause it's quite sturdy. So it will always be wet. The wipes itself has raised dots on one side for exfoliating.  It's just ok. I paid like about $9 for this. It doesn't really remove makeup. It's ok to cleanse but not great for heavy makeup, especially waterproof mascara. So I wouldn't buy this again. It's not that good. 

Ettusais CC Amino Cream

Got this cc cream and I like it cause it's pink. But it's all wrong for oily skin girl me. It's a smooth application. Slightly on the lighter side. Not watery, not too creamy. It's a nice texture. But it will be better for people with normal skin. After a mere 2 hours, my skin started to get oily after using this. It wasn't a good look. So I have to blot the day away.
