Eglips Blur Powder Pact

Powder powder powder. Anything that say blur or matte, I'll be very interested. I just had to get them. Especially when the price is quite alright.  This is especially good for touch up. It's compact and comes with a puff that is quite seperated from the powder. You can totally remove the plastic divider if you want. I just keep it cause it's still quite new. In future I will get rid of it cause it just makes life easier. So the powder is in shade 23 which is the darkest and it's still lighter than my skin tone. I'm used to it. But at least it just disappear from my face. It's light I mean so it's not that obvious.  Using this as a setting powder doesn't work. Cause my face will be back to its oily state within a few hours. So it's just good as a touch up. It helps to prolong my face makeup to last till the night. 

Rouge Infusion The Neutrals 17 Petal

I'd used this so many time that the words just rub off. This is basically a gloss, but it claimed to be very long wearing. So I'm not sure if you can consider this a stain, cause it's not exactly glossy and it sort of stain my hand after the swatch. I guess I will put it under lip lacquer.  This is the neutrals one shade Petal, a pretty pinkish nude. Maybe even on the mauve side. It's really pretty on the lips, as long as you don't move it to much. It's not exactly easy to put on. As on the lips, it's kind of pastel. So it takes time for me to make it even. Maybe it's just my lips. But I do like that it stays on my lips for awhile. Longer than expected. Even though it says 10hours, and I don't expect it to be. I still do get about 4 hours wear.  It's 0.32 fl.oz. and has a very flowery perfume smell. I like it enough. Especially at the beginning when it's so much easier to use. The longer I have it, the more it seems different. I guess it'...

Urban Decay Cannonball

I was quite surprise to see this in Sephora. I thought they would have taken this off the shelves long ago. Isn't it the way with these kind of product? Anyway I'm glad I saw it. Cause I always wanted to try it as some youtuber was saying how this is the best waterproof mascara.  I do agree that it is a waterproof mascara. It just won't budge nor smudge. Quite hard to remove too. It's also quite lengthening which is nice. But this is not a full mascara. It doesn't give me a very full lash. It's just very lengthening but no volume. And you have to coat the lashes quickly cause it will get crisp within 5 seconds. So this is a good topper. First step to use a volumising mascara, then top with this = full looking lashes. 

Elizabeth and James Nirvana White

Nirvana White is a musky - floral fragrance composed of peony, lily of the valley and musk. I just had to get this after so much positive review online. It was not available in Singapore. So when I saw this in Aussie, I grabbed it. I picked up the roller ball which was 10ml and cost quite a bit. Then at the checkout line, I saw this, which is only AU$17 for 7ml. Per ml, it's cheaper to get the 7ml which is a Christmas edition. I guess that's why it is cheaper. It is kind of a clearance item. I bought it in March.  The 7ml roller ball is stout. I think I prefer the 10ml longer leaner version. I don't know, I prefer it. But anyway, the scent is awesome. It's very grown up. I tested the black one but that is just too musky for me. It was just too strong and overpowering. I don't like it. But this, the white one, is perfect. And roller ball is just the way to go. It's small to bring around and easy to apply. The best part about this perfume, it last forever. Ok, not...

MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner - Petrol Blue

I've been using MAC and Sephora a lot. Well I guess I bought way too much during the sales. This is a gorgeous blue with glitter. I sure don't need another eyeliner. I don't use them. But I had to get this. It glides easily when swatch. It is ok on the eyes and doesn't irritate them. It's not a soft liner.  I feel that the kohl liner is much better as it is so much smoother. But this is alright. I just have to slowly draw short lines on my lid. From the outer to the inner. It doesn't break, so it's actually quite easy to apply.  If you use colour, this will be great. But if you are a neutral tone girl, then this may be a bit bold. It will be a pretty weekend night pop of colour. Which is what I intend to do. Then again, I don't use eyeliner. So this is just sitting pretty in the drawer. 

First Impression: Tony Moly Fresh Tangerine Hand Mask

This is awesome. It's basically a plastic hand gloves and you tear them apart to get the masks for both hands. It's not messy at all as the essence is sealed. I don't know why I think that the outside will be filled with essence too. So inside has this mesh like material and it's soaked with the moisturising goodness. It's quite a big so it should fit everyone. Not sure how long to put it on, but I just wore it for 20 minutes. Then upon removal, just rub the excess between hands. It's not sticky and it leaves my hands very smooth.  The best part, when I wake up, my hands are so soft. I'm just so impress. Like it will last that long. Granted I didn't do anything. Just sleeping, but my hands are still soft and smooth. Hand cream doesn't last that long. Oh, and the smell of oranges is quite subtle. Only can be smelt when putting on the mask, cause that's when you open up the mask. 

Benefit Dallas

Love this so much. It's so natural on the cheek. The colour is a muted pink, looks nude and it's just a great blush overall. It will appears like you are not wearing any blush, but it just create the most natural flush and glow. The shade can slightly be seen on me. It's not exactly blend into the skin. The formula is very smooth, but a box blush makes it hard to use fingers to swipe. So, the best way is still to use the brush that it comes with or a normal blush brush that is not tampered. The brush that it comes with is really good, cause it will cover the whole cheek. Highlight, blush and bit of contour. Plus it's so smooth. So it really is just perfect. This is definitely one of my fav blush ever. 

First Impression: 7th Heaven Blemish Mud

I liked this cause it's fun when the mask harden after a few minutes. It is actually a kaolin clay. So the colour is grey and it smells rather awful. Once I put it on, it wasn't that bad. Only when I remove it do I smell the unpleasantness. But it's not that strong. So it doesn't repulse me.  It's a very soothing mask. For deep cleansing, I don't really think it does. But I wouldn't know. How do you know it deep cleanse? Anyway, this is for problem skin. I've been having such a bad break out on my forehead, so I thought I give this a go. It Downey make it worse. It sure calm my face down a bit. Oh after removing it, by peeling the dry flakes (so fun) and the rest of the mask by a wet washcloth, my face actually looks brighter.  And lastly, as usual with these kind of masks, it came mostly in 20g, which is really a lot for one person. So it is quite wasted. It will be a much better use if there is someone who will share this. There is still a lot left eve...

Velourlips Matte Lip Cream

Got this in shade Hon-O-Loo-Loo which is a neutral pink shade. It's quite smooth to apply but look at how it looks like on my lips. It's too drying. Quite sad at the outcome. It's very thick, but it will not spread out evenly. I guess it's thick cause it's a cream base. The colour does not suit me at all. It's very drying. And uncomfortable on the lips. Definitely a regret purchase. I can't even remember how much I bought this for. 

UV Perfect Aqua Essence City Face Mist

I bought this back in August, and I always wanted to do a comparison between this and the Biore UV mist before doing a post. For some reason, I never bought the Biore one. Now, this is being promoted in Singapore. It is in every other bus stop ad or something. So I just want to jump the gun and share this before the hype died. I really like this. Cause unlike tiny micro droplet, this came out as a mist. Mist will evaporate and still can feel a tiny bit of water, but this literally is just smoke. It is so fine. I am so impress. It feels nothing on the skin. It doesn't leave my skin feeling oily and at the end of the day, my face too doesn't get oily. It is like I am not putting any product on my skin. I really recommend this and especially for anyone who doesn't like putting sunscreen on. You just have to spray this on to the face and you are good to go. It is small, so you can bring it anywhere. Go to the ladies, or where ever, spray it on, and continue with your life. It i...

Anastasia Travel Brow Kit

Saw this in the isle of temptation. I was like damn I didn't know they carried Anastasia here. But I was too lazy to go down to pick up the proper product. So I was left with travel size pack in the shade dark brown. This is AU$23. Seems reasonable enough at the time. It has 3 product.  The clear brow gel is 2.5ml stated as mini. It's really just a clear brow gel. Good for people with untamed brow hair. I don't really set my brows, but I mean it's nice to have around. Just in case. Nonetheless, a good product. Set everything in place. It doesn't appear waxy, but it's just slight stiff.  The mini tweezers is fine. It's always nice to have good tweezers around. It's a slanted tip, really sturdy. Really good at getting the hair out.  The mini brow wiz is 0.024g. What you see in the picture above, is basically how much product you get. So you can see why this is not worth the money. It's so thin and fragile. So easy to break. You have to be really carefu...

Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes

Just wanted to try this wipes and to see if it's any good. And the verdict, it's alright. It's wet enough to wipe off face makeup. It smells a bit weird. Not in a bad way, but you have to get used to the scent. The packaging is solid. It comes in 20 sheets for AU$9.90.  The one downside is that it's quite sting on the eyes. So this is not a good eye makeup removal. Other than that, it's quite good makeup wipes. 

LeMatte Color Riche - No Matte-r What

I really do love these LeMatte pens. It's so creamy and easy apply. This nude shade is also quite the perfect shade for me. It's wearable without it looking like a concealer. I guess I've been more attracted to nudes that are more pink and light. Those kind of nudes are actually not that good for me. Darker neutrals are better suited. So this is nice. It can be a bit drying if your lips is already quite dry. But of not, this is quite ok for a matte product. 

Shampoo, tried & tested 4

  Rene Furterer Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - I'm not really sure what I think about this. It is ok. Plus this is for oily hair, but I find that it doesn't do such a good job at keeping hair less oily. It's ok for dandruff. But if you don't have dandruff, this can cause one. It's like my oily hair can cause dandruff so this is good for that problem. But when my hair don't give me dandruff, using this will just create that. So it's just not that consistent. I only just use this when I find that my hair is acting up and being super itchy, which is quite seldom these days.  Phyto Strengthening Treatment Shampoo for Thinning Hair. I actually quite fond of this bits a good general everyday shampoo. It doesn't cause my hair to be super oily. I will have to wash it daily, but it can last a day. Only before bedtime will I notice the hair turning slightly oily. Anyway, the first half of the tube, I can see a difference in the amount of hair I drop. After that, the amou...

Radiant Creamy Concealer

I was so in love with this the first time I apply it. It's so creamy and full coverage. It covers my dark circle rather well. I got the shade medium2 Ginger. Among all the shades, I think this is the one that suit me the most. But I don't know. Cause a week of using this, I feel the colour doesn't really seem to suit me. It's just too yellow. It feels too yellow. It's like it looks good when I just apply it normally in front of the mirror. But when I zoom in to take a closer look, the shade doesn't seem right. I have to blend it more and it spread out leaving it no longer as full coverage.  In term of wear, it's alright. It last alright for a full day at work. It doesn't crease. It slightly fade away but not too bad. I'm not sure if a base or lack of is responsible for the appearance of the concealer. The thing I like is the radiance it gave me. I don't like that some days this is best, some days is a dud.  I am really having mix feeling about th...

Cowshed Lippy Cow

This lip balm is like Aquaphor, It's a very liquid like gel, must like a melted vaseline. But this has no petroleum jelly. In term of moisturisation, yes it is there, but I feel that this doesn't really help with chapped lips. It is not hydrating enough. Or it just doesn't get absorbed into the skin as what a good lip balm should. I also feel like it is quite hard to get the right amount to put on the lips. I always squeeze out too little or too much. It tasted horrible too. So careful application is a must. It is quite troublesome. It is alright, just not that good.

Zoeva 322 Brow Line

I love that Zoeva single brushes come with a clear reusable pouch. It's good for a couple of brushes or even pencils. The brow line has a very short bristle. It's a slight slant, and not so thick. Not really my fav. It's slightly dense, good for a light brow shading. I feel like I have to put in extra time to draw my brows using this. So it's not a brush I pick up often. Unless I really want a precise brow application, then this will the one.
