The Stuff I'd Used

I was given these and I have no idea what they were. The formula feels like serums. I am not sure if both are the same or different. I take it that they are different. And upon researching I think one of them is a lotion (right) and the one with the pump is a moisturiser. I may be wrong, but the moisturiser is slightly thicker.  I don't really want to talk about these as I am not 100% certain what they are. But these doesn't really break me out. So it's not bad. Oh well, I just want to have this up on this blog cause I want a memory of this. 

This is such a gorgeous colour. I never expect it to be so bright though. This is just a normal liquid lipstick. It is not drying. It doesn't really set though. I haven't use it long enough for me to really test the wear out of this. I don't know how long this will last. This also will not really stain the lips. So that is quite disappointing. But then again, I never expect much of this. This will transfer too. I just don't know if after 1 hour, will it be better or not. The colour though, a bright pink, is still slightly wearable. It is just not something I will wear daily. Application with a doe foot applicator is pretty standard. Again, because of the colour, I have to be careful upon application. It is not exactly a forgiving shade. Therefore, I just have to be careful. Bought for: $15 on sale

This is a good way to try out the brand. But this set, is not exactly cheap. I can't remember how much I got it for, but I think it is over $35. The Set Contains: Camellia and Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser (30ml) Suitable for dry, delicate and sensitive skin, the non-drying cleanser effortlessly melts away the build up of daily dirt, make-up and impurities.

The only thing I don't like about this is that it doesn't come in a spray bottle. So I transfer this to a sprayable one. This is slightly the stronger one as its the extra version. But I don't really see a difference. This is nice cause it's minty. It sort of help with hair fall, cause I see less hair fall after using this. But whether my hair can see the growth that's not something I can see. So I mean for something less than $20 at Watsons, I think it's not a bad hair tonic. 

Got a sample of this moisturiser. This is in a cream form which come in a tub. The thing about this is for dry skin. So it is more moisturising than the moisturiser in the bottle. I don't really like this as its too oily for my skin. I can only use this at night. And even so it's not something I will repurchase. 

I've been using this as a conditioner and it's not that good. It feels like I have to use a lot to actually help my hair. This is suppose to be better than conditioner as it is a mask sort of. But it's just slide off most of the time. Even as a lather for shaving my leg, this doesn't stay on as well. So I don't like this. 

I love this. The shade is prefect. It doesn't crack on me. It's not overly drying. It leaves a slight stain. It transfer only a bit. So I love it.  This is in the shade Serenity. And it is a good mauve nuetral shade that suits me very well. It's a nude but with colour. I guess I suit mauve family tone the best. Cause every mauve shades I love. And this liquid lipstick is comfortable on the lips. It is indeed long wearing just as long wearing as any lipstick could be.  Doe foot applicator generally is good for applying lip product. It's normal, so nothing special. The colour is pigmented so application is easy. Just one swipe and you covers the lips. It coats the lips nicely but a second swipe makes it more full. And the tip of the applicator is able to get into the corner and sharp edges.  I like the packaging also. It's a frosted glass like with gold cap. So pretty to bring around. I don't know but I think I have a thing for frosted packaging.  

So I just got this cause it was on sale. I bought it at $15.30 from beautybay. It's a shimmery cream foundation. When I search it, it looks like it a highlighter. The shade is more yellow like golden sand. On my face, it's shimmery. It's quite sheer but it will make your face glow. This is good for people with dry skin. I managed to work with it by not putting so much of it and I will avoid the nose area. It will still leave me oily after a few hours, but at least it brighten up my face for the first few hours.  I tried using this as a highlighter, but it's too sheer. It just sink into the face. The shade 02 is alright for me. Cause it just blend into the skin and leave with the shimmer. So it doesn't really affect the tone. If I saw this in store, I will never purchase it. I notice this is only 3g and I used this a few time. But this barely made a dent. So I think this will last a long time. So if you have a dull looking skin, you can give this a go. 

I believe there are 5 of them now. I tried two of them during the buy 1 get 1 free promo. My review is here . I also buy these during the promo. That's why I only have 2. I can't remember what is the last one.  3-in-1 Facial Cleansing Wipes. I choose this cause of the mascara on the cover. This is so not for the eyes. It stink my eyes. So disappointed especially the cover has a mascara on it.  While the Basic Facial Cleansing Wipes has 30 sheets, so I'm interested to see how the plain one fare. It's basically just a wet tissue. It's wet that's good, but I feel that it's how it will remove the makeup that matter. So it's ok, but not a good wipe. For a full face of makeup, this will not cleanse as well. This is good to clean off swatches. But I wouldn't want to really clean my face with this. I still did cause I don't want to waste it. But I only use this when my face is barely with makeup. So that's about it. 

I like this. It's only 5ml. You'll get this if you fly Business Class to Aussie using SQ. My aunt gave me a few. I like it cause it's small. And the scent is quite nice. Not so strong, but alright. It's nice on the hand. It is not so oily and will make my hand smooth. It absorb into the skin rather fast. Citrus is more of a lime lemon scent. Not really mandarin like, so it's good. I mean the application won't overpower the other person beside you. 

This is a very nice mascara. It's from Sasa for $25.90. Not exactly cheap, but it's made in Japan. It's a plastic wand with different size bristles. One side is short ones for volumising. The other side is longer and more sparse. This is to comb the lashes. It's suppose to help with the curl. I find that it won't really curl your lashes unless your lashes are already quite curl. Like as long as it's not so straight and stubborn, it will kinda curl a bit.  I like this cause it's waterproof. And it doesn't make my lashes too crazy. It just coats them nicely. So in term of volumising, I don't think this does that. It's just a nice daily natural mascara. It gives a darker lashes, as obviously it's black and will cost them.  The thing I don't like is that when I apply this, it will smudge under my eyes. I think it's the brush. Even though it's not so big, but will touch my under eye.  So overall, for the price, I think there are better...

So I've tried using this to help me with my imperfect skin. Doesn't really work. I used up one tube, and I was given another 2 used tube. They were my cousins as it doesn't work on them too so they just gave it to me. It doesn't really do much I feel. But now when I think really hard about it and reading people's blogs on how some product will clog their pores and such, then I realized. Maybe this is it. This help me to prevent clog pores.  This doesn't help with my acne. But it does sort of help to prevent new ones from forming. So I don't know, maybe with constant use, you will get to see the result. Like if you have a mark, it sort of help a bit. I'll just keep using it. It is not oily and help a bit in term of moisturisation. So it's fine. 

Among all the S&G scent, this is my fav. The body scrub is a bit hard to lather on. So the way I use this is to take a handful and add on with a bit of body wash. It helps to get the scrub move across my body. The scrub particles are small and not abrasive. It's rather gentle but powerful. At least it won't break your skin but will give you a gentle rub down. This is just 50g, which is quite perfect in the bathroom. It doesn't take up a lot of space. It will last awhile. It's cute. Full stop. 

I don't look good in Coral. I love the shade, but it's just one of those shades that just doesn't really work on me. This one is pigmented enough, but still quite sheer on the lips. I have to go through a few times for its to be a full on shade on me.  The colour is super pretty, the lipstick is easy to wear. But it will only look good on me when my lips is perfect. That's mean no chapped lips. This is really a traditional lipstick. It's soft but stern. It gives a shiny finish. It's not exactly drying, but it's not moisturising. It's just a lipstick. 

    The first time I use this, I wasn't impress. It takes time to actually appreciate this. To me it's like any other toner I'd tried. But the more I used this, the more I find the differences. This toner set like a layer of protection on my skin. It just feels like I put on something. Even though I apply this using a cotton round. And that's the other thing. When I pour this on to the cotton pad, it just made the pad wet, and unlike other toner, this will somehow doesn't feel like it will transfer onto my face. A wet pad, but it's just a brush over the face. I don't know, it just feel weird. I always have the feel to pour more to make it absorb more toner. But of course I don't. As the cotton is already wet.  Anyway, the rose scent is not that strong. A bit weird, as most Fresh scent is rather obvious. But the toner I feel quite help keep my skin in check. I don't know why, it doesn't improve or worse it. But during the period I use this, I know...

I love dome shaped brush for so many purposes. I used to love stippling brush the most. But now I think some shaped is my fav. This is especially on the smaller side. It's soft and fluffy and the perfect brush for a quick under the eye swipe. I used it to blend in my concealers and it's also great for foundation. A bit small for a quick face makeup, but concealers blending is great.  This doesn't shed and doesn't go out of shape. I really am in love with this. Zoeva is now one of my fav brushes brand. 

I just have to try this and compare it to my Wet Brush . I bought this at asos at £10.50. What I find is that this is as hard and stiff as similar detangling brush . I thought the original will be different. But it's quit the same. It's just slightly better. But I've tried it on my sis. Her hair is thick and very frizzy. It surprisingly not tangly. So it's really easy and smooth using this brush. It doesn't help to tame her hair. But as a comb, it works well. So it's good for people with thicker hair. 

My fav is the manicare brand lip brush. It's retractable and what I like about it is that it I has a slight dent that will snugly fit the cap and the black moveable pointer thing.  The Dior one came from a palette. As you can see it's well loved. Also, it's hard to put back into the cap. That's why the bristle are so out of place.  MUA L1 is quite pointed at the tip. So it's good to get a clean line using this. Plus the bristle will not run. So it's quite easy putting it back.  Lastly I have the Anna Sui one. It's a pretty brush. But the brush is quite soft. So not really good for getting clean line which I feel is the purpose of me using a lip brush. But to just lightly put colour on the lips, this is nice.  Of course I also have those lol brushes from sets. But those I hardly use, cause I put them together with the set.  Oh the thing with lip brushes, they are hard to really clean. So I don't like using lip brushes. 

This is a sticky gel. It's suppose to be good as it's for acne prone skin and it's free from oils and such. But it's just so sticky. I don't like it. Plus I don't see how this helps my skin. So after using it barely a week, I stop.  I don't know if I got a bad batch. Or it's suppose to be this sticky. I mean sure it will be ok after about 5 minute. But I just don't have the time to wait. So this is a no for me. 

594 Intense Brown - a deep dark brown will actually look black on my eyes. However it is not as harsh as black will be like. I really like this for tightlining. It doesn't irritate my eyes and it goes smoothly.  I will also use this as an eyeliner. But I can never get a thin line. Plus it's not as smooth on my lid. But it works alright. Especially with a primer underneath, this will not transfer. I also don't like to use the smudger as it is quite painful. 

This is not bad. It's a hard lipstick but smooth on application. I can see why many recommend the Milani lipsticks.  Darling is such a gorgeous colour. It's just the right pink. A muted pink that doesn't look too horrible on me. It's pigmented so one swipe is enough. Dry lips is very obvious with this on. So that's the only thing we need to care. This is the matte lipstick. So I can only imagine how much the normal one will be like. Anyway, I have much love for this lipstick. But it's not something I will keep grabbing. 

I've been wanting to compile all the sheet masks I'd try from Sephora. And behold, the change the mask into the invisilk mask now. Guess they change supplier or something. But anyway, below are all the masks from Sephora. I do believe is all the Sephora sheet masks. Pomegranate mask for antioxidant and energizing. It's alright. Doesn't leave a big impact in my life. I put this on and the next day I totally forgot how I feel about it. So it's just neutral. For some reason, this mask is quite big on my face. Then again, I also wore it in such a side looped way.  Ginseng mask for firming and toning. Does it really will help to firm up the skin? I don't really think so, but this mask feels quite tight on the face. At least as compare to the rest. The ginseng scent is faint, but you can smell it the first time you put it on.  Green tea mask for mattifying and antiblemish.  I really like this. It's very soothing when applied. I will repurchase this. I really like ...
