1028 Cheek and Lip Amused Click - Nutty Berry

I love the scent of this. It's bubblegum! I enjoy using this purely for the scent. Of course I also like this kind of sponge tip applicator for lip. It's just nice and easy to use. The Colour when swatch is really pretty. On my lips, not as much. It's very warm and makes my teeth very yellow. In person it's really a nutty berry. It's berry shade but more brown. So whoever create the name is good at describing this colour.  1028 is a Taiwanese brand, but this pen is made in Korea. Can't remember how much I bought this for. Maybe $15? But so worth the scent. They only have 3 colours - pink, berry and peach. Wish they do have more.  Anyway, I don't use this for the cheek. I just scared it will stain my cheek and I don't know how to really fix it. I mean they don't even declare as a tint. But I just want to take precaution. I really have no idea what category I should put this at. It's not a gloss, not a liquid, but since this is like close to the te...

Modelsprefer Mini Oval Paddle

This is a very nice mini brush. It's not exactly mini, but it fits my hand well. It's not too hard and it comb through hair quite finely provided you use conditioner. Without conditioner, it still quite hard to brush thru. Even though, the bristle is quite sparse, it doesn't tug as much, it still need your hair to be quite conditioned. It's also just nice for short to medium length hair. If you have longer hair, I think it will be better to have a bigger brush. But as my hair is thin, this suits me fine too when my hair is longer.

Morphe Brush M404

This is the stippling brush. Which is not a good indication whether Morphe is a good brand or not. I feel that most stripping brush are generally good. The bristles is quite long. It's not a stiff brush. It's soft and flexible. It doesn't pick up a lot of product so it's good for any pigmented brush making it a useable product. With a stippling motion, this is more rigid but it's still very bouncy. So it's just a brush for light application. 

Missha Anti Trouble Patch

This is not as good as the Nexcare Acne Patch . But this is so much more thinner. It's so thin that you can hardly see it when applied. So that's the only nice thing about this. When it come to removing the dirt and spots, it doesn't do a good job. You hardly see any residue when you pull out the patch. So ya, don't think this works as well. But it's just so thin. I bet you can wear it out and no one will notice. 

Integrate Eyebrow Pencil

I've been using powder brow product for so long, that's it's actually a bit hard to adjust to pencil. It just takes longer to use a pencil. I Guess pencil brow product is just thinner and more precise. So you have to really pay more attention to the details.  GY941 is a rather taupe shade. It's suppose to be grey I guess but it's quite natural on me. I like that this is hard but it's easy to glide across the brow. The product kind of blend nicely with the brow brush too. So that's nice. But I do feel that it can dissappear easily when brushed. So it had to be brushed gently.  Overall for NT200 it's quite alright. 

Moonshot Dark Spot Concealer - 301

I wanted to try something else from Moonshot. Of course I have to get the concealer. I'm just obsessed with concealers and I'm trying them one brand at a time. I found that the shade 301 once blended in is the perfect shade for me. I want to say that it looked peachy, but it doesn't really cover my black eyes. Cause when I try to use this under my eye, I still can see the shadow underneath. I still prefer CLIO Kill Cover . (I know I previously said that Clio is not as good for the whole face. But I was wrong. I just got lazy and used it for my whole face. It gave such a good coverage and it brightened up my face whenever I used it.) This is supposed to be better for under eye concealing. I found that it does a better job covering my spots. I guess cause of the shade; it matched my skin better. The packaging looks alright but when you hold it feels cheap. The wand feels cheap too as it's just feel light on the hand. It did pick up the right amount of concealer though so ...

Avene Cleansing Gel

I've been using this for a few travels and I never get to finish it. For 25ml, this sure can last forever. I'm quite impressed by how long it last. It's a typical gel cleanser. Not exactly gel, but a bit on the flowy side. It's a good cleanser. It cleanse up enough the first time round. Well as long as you don't use heavy makeup. Waterproof mascara is also a no. So it's best to remove makeup first, then use this to cleanse the face. It's gentle and a good sample to have. The best part is you can double this up as a shower gel. But it's quite a waste I feel, as Avene ain't exactly a cheap brand. 

First Impression: Baroness Tomato Mask Sheet

This is quite thin and quite cooling. It has the right amount of essence. So it's quite comfortable to put on. I don't like the smell though. It also kind of itch my forehead a bit. I don't really enjoy the experience using this. It's alright, but I wouldn't buy it again. But this suppose to be for acne. Like it will help to prevent that. So I guess I just have to try other tomato masks. 

Manhattan Soft Compact Powder

This is in the shade 9 Chocolat which looks really natural on the pan, when swatched looks quite ashy, on my face though, it looks pretty dark. This is a shade that will be alright on me during summer. When I have a bit of a tan, this will be perfect. Even though it sort of match my skin tone, it just makes my face look darker. I guess it kind of oxidize on me.  While the powder is a semi matte finish, it doesn't last as long. But I mean it's fine, you can always touch up. The packaging is bulky. There is a very thin sponge which you can use on the go. But it's just thin and not a good quality one. I don't like using it. Overall, I don't like this. 

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer - Watermelon

I always gravitate towards mauve shade. This is in the shade watermelon, but it's not red at all. I pick this up base on the colour of the cap on the packaging. It seems like a good shade to use for daily. The colour on the tube look scary. But when swatch it is actually quite sheer. So it just gives a really nice shimmer with a hint of colour. And the shimmer is not strong at all. So it's actually very pretty.  I always like this, cause it's cooling and it's a thin lip product. So it's perfect to put inside your jeans pocket. But the one in Guava  doesn't suit me at all.  Oh the bad thing about this is I drop it once and now the turning tab doesn't work. So I can only turn it out very little at a time. So that I can still close the cap. 

28 Colour Eyeshadows

I bought this cause why not. It's not too expensive. With coupons and stuff, this cost me about $10. I think so. There is no brand. It's just a plain plastic packaging with 28 shades. It ranges from shimmer to matte. This is a waste of money. Some shades are better than others. Some pigmentation is a bit patchy. Some pigmentation is alright. Some is quite good.  The first 3 rows are quite weak. Sure the colour get washed out by the camera, but it's just so bleh. The shades all look similar. Sort of. The shadows themself are quite ok. It's smooth to the touch, but it's not fine. It doesn't feel as nice. Row 1 shadow 4 is like very powdery.  The middle rows, the 4th and 5th are better. The colours are quite good. I mean they're nicer than the first 3 rows. And it is quite nice to have a purple I guess. Even though it looks much lighter in the pan. Row 4, the second colour is my skin tone shade. Beside it, is the same except it's glittery.  The last 2 rows ...

Asprey Purple Water Shampoo

This is actually quite nice. I love how this make my hair really volumous. But as with any  random shampoos, I can only use this a maximum of 2 days. On the third time I used this, my hair start to have dandruff. So I like this on a one time use kind of shampoo. It smell nice. It can last a whole day, sort of, without making my hair oily. Anyone with normal hair and want some volume should try using this. 

Shills Party Time Anti-Wrinkle & Repair Black Eye Mask

This is such a cooling mask. Plus the mask looks like I am going for a mascarade party. I just think it's slightly too big for me. But it's ok, it still fit quite nicely. I like this as it's quite moisturising. Not sure about the antiwrinkle part, but this mask is filled with essence that it just kept dropping onto my cheek. So I just spread it in the corner of my lips. The essence is to prevent wrinkles anyway. This cost me NT29. So it's about $1.35. I do enjoy using this mask. So it's a really good for value mask. 

Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme - Adorable

I got this for about $10.20 on sale. It's a really nice neutral colour. I like how it gets to be a really comfortable matte. I like the shade. It's a really pretty nude. But it's not concealer nude. It actually suit my skin tone quite well. As in it doesn't look dead on me.  What I like the best is the comfortable factor. On the lips it doesn't feel dry. So it's just nice. It doesn't really transfer. So it's good. It last quite well too. That's all I have I to say. I like it. I want more neutral shades of this. 

boscia Clear Complexion Tonic

Kind of always wanted to try boscia cleansing product. But this is the one I had from the Sephora Gold member gift. I like anything spray. It's convenient and perfect for my laziness. This is a tonic, so I'm assuming a toner. Which the description did say to use after cleansing in the AM and PM. I also can use this to refresh my skin. So that's nice too.  It's not overly sticky. But after spraying you can feel a bit of essence on the skin. The spray is very strong. Even though the bottle is tiny, the nozzle is powerful. Therefore, one spray is enough. But I like to spray at least twice or thrice. Sometime even 4 times. Since its powerful, it's not a fine mist. But it doesn't make your face overly wet. So the droplets dissappear on your face rather quickly. I like it. So easy to use. Love it. It's small good for travelling. 

First Impression: Kinomegumi Detox Foot Patch - Titanium

This is so fun to use. It's much better than using a foot mask, cause at least with this I still can walk around. Basically what this do is to remove toxin from the body. The patch will activates the cells when you paste it in the sole of your foot. Thus helping you to improve the blood circulation.  It is recommended to use this patch on alternate leg for at least 150 days. Each usage about 6-8 hours which is also the recommended bed time. So maybe the result you get is cause you get enough sleep and not because of the patch that's doing the work. Who knows?! But it's only the one website that asked you to use for that long. You can also use this on your shoulders, back, neck, waist and arms. And I Guess Yiu can always use both on one go. And use on one leg to save money.  Anyway, the result on the different colours on the used patches have different implications.  Black - have toxin deposit, implying weak body condition Brown - fair health condition, normal waste de...

Yes To Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Wipes

This is such a unique wipe. It's black and the texture is unlike anything I've tried before. First the colour. It's hard to really see if any make up is being wiped off by sheet. Cause it's just black, it's dark, so you can't spot any difference. Second the texture. It's not a thin clothes. It's thicker and feel more plastic. So it's actually quite rough. It's not a nice experience using this to clean your face. At least scrub clothes you know it's meant to do that. But this, it's just very unpleasant on the skin. But I mean it's still useable and it does it job well.  I've been quite lazy to wash my face at night. So I had just been using this only. I feel it does a great job removing my makeup. And also it's doesn't break me up. I feel this even help to reduce my spots. So I am enjoying this despite the weirdness of the texture. 

First Impression: Kissui BriSea Vital Repairing Ampoule Perfect Fit Mask

This is a very translucent mask. It's so thin. So it's easy for it to stick to the curves of the face. Do you even call the face a curve? Well you get what I mean when I say it just fit your face. This has 3 layers. The white one you peel off then stick on to your face. Then you peel off the blue part. It's so hard to pull off the blue plastic. But since the mask cling on so well to your skin, eventually it came off.  This mask is very cooling and very moisturising. It's not for me. I think it's really good for anyone who need moisture. Or who is staying at a cold winter place that dry up their skin. This gives the instant moisture. Seriously powerful that even with a primer, my face gets oily within 2 hours.  I should have use this at night. That would have been a better use. But oh well. I do enjoy using this. And I do think it's worth the money. It's like about NT500+ for a box of 5 if I'm not wrong. The thing I don't get is that some packaging ha...

Heme Color Star Lipstick - Milk Tea

Love this cause it's a clear balm surrounds a star shaped lipstick. Milk Tea is a nude shade, more on the pinky side. So it's actually good for daily. It gives a neutral shade, with a bit of colour. I just like this has a surround balm which I thought will be super hydrating. It wasn't. But it's good enough. It doesn't really dry up my lips. So this is like a tinted balm actually. Once you use it, the colour kind of just smudge around the bullet. I still like it. It's comfortable and it is not so drying.
