The Stuff I'd Used

Bought this at HKD200 for 250g. I love it. It has a mango scent. So really nice when using this. Good for oily hair too. It just makes my hair really healthy. And my hair can last a lot longer than the average oily shampoo. I still have to wash my hair daily, but it's slightly better. So not bad.

It is just a really nice round balloon. When you try to hold it, it feels like water balloon. So the only way to do it is to put in the case and poke using the stick. I was expecting it to explode and the water to gash out. But it was not cause it is made of jelly not water. In future, with a new set, you don't need the case to tear off the ballon case. It is very fragile and easily tear. But the plastic case is there to have it safer. Also it is to be used as the cleanser holder. After using, it can be used to place the ball in to dry - with or without the cover. It is really fun. Once the rubber balloon case is gone, the product is an actual jelly. So it is a jelly cleanser. It can be use on wet face directly or using wet hands to get the suds. On dry hands, it is like holding a jelly that will not melt. At least I think it will not melt. The cleanser itself is not bad. Foam up nicely and easily once wet. Manage to remove waterproof mascara too. In term of blackhead, I wouldn...

I wanted her eye shadows in forever. But when I saw the eye brow palette, I feel I had to choose this instead. The colours are all matte and neutral. I figure I can use this for eyeshadows too. I won't know if there is a different in quality of this and her normal shadows. There is not much review on this. Anyway, this is $72, so it is $14.40 per shadow. The packaging is plastic, so I feel like it is quite "cheap". It feels quite sturdy though when closed. It is thin enough and it is nice to get a full mirror. But the packaging does not feel like is $72 kind of product. I mean if you see MJ eyeshadow palette, it is sturdy and nice. Natasha's just feel flimsy.

Oh I love Vanilla Bean Noel so much. I really really love scent. So Christmas like, so festive.

A soft lipstick feel more like a jelly finish. It is supposed to be kind of pigmented. But I guess this can be applied lightly. Will give such a nice kissable lips. The colour is a slightly dark berry, so not the kind of shade you'll use daily. But it is nice. It is good for day or night time. Probably a bit too much for office wear. Actually come to think of it, this feels more like a thick balm. Not as comfortable but not like a lipstick also. Just a really pigmented balm. So yah, I mean it's good if you need colour but don't want drying lips.

250ml for $14 is quite reasonable? But I feel this one really get used really fast. Like in the end, less than a week, a quarter of the soap is gone. It's very fast. I guess cause this is like a gel, so you just tend to squeeze out a lot at one go. The scent is not strong at all. You can smell the citrus but not something that will wake you up. I am used to TBS ones, so this is weak. I don't mind it. But it will be nice to have a strong scent for the morning. I like it enough, but unless it is on sale, I would not purchase it.

This is quite good for blemishes. I feel like it helps to reduce them. But for a matte primer, it works for a little time. I can't get away using this for the whole night. But maybe also cause of the powder I used. This is not a silicon feel kind of primer. It is not bad. Probably work better in cooler climate. But it does alright under our humid temperature. I wouldn't buy it again, but yah it's ok.

Besides Shu Uemura curler, Japonesque is another one that is highly rave about. But I don't want to buy another curler, so I decided to get this mini one instead. It's for curling specific lashes. The plastic handle actually has two extra silicon pad refills. That's cool. But this is quite hard to use I feel. It just too direct in your eye kind of feel. So it doesn't feel comfortable. It is not a curler for beginners for sure. But once you get it in your lashes. It is very gentle on the lashes. You clamp it, your lashes get curl but it doesn't feel like it will break. So quite good once you get the hang of it. Just that since this is targeted for like a small area at a time, it's very tedious to use if you only have this curler.

SPF 34, 12h shine resistant. This is to prime a shine free skin, cover minimise appearance of all blemish and skin imperfections. This powder came out ages ago. I don't know if they still selling this or just clearing stock. It just that I don't really hear people talk about it anymore. This is quite a thick powder. I would say it is more of a powder foundation than a top up powder. Pigmented and it's good for people who needs the coverage. The shade is slightly too light for me. It is not fully shine resistant. I feel after sometimes, my face will turn oily. So it's not that good. So I would not bother with this if you want something light. But if you need a foundation and don't want to go with a liquid one, this will be good. And will be better on normal skin. People with oily skin will have to keep touching up after every 5hours.

Not sure how I feel about this. It has this really strong scent that makes me happy coz I feel like the product is working. But the scent just stay all day. I don't know if people around me can smell it too. If so, then they would know that I am losing hair. Not that it is not obvious from my thinning hair. I wish this come with a spray instead. Or at least an opening that is easier to dispense into the scalp directly. But oh well, so far so good. My scalp is quite ok. It doesn't get heat up or get itchy. So it is fine. Just the smell, kind of herbal like but is the hair tonic kind of scent. So I'm fine with it, just wish that the scent doesn't last all day.

A sleeping mask is basically a richer night moisturiser. So rich that not all the product will be absorbed into the skin when you wake up the next day. They always tell you to wipe off or wash off in the morning. This is not bad. I like that it is just a sample size but you can use this for like 3 days. It is a clear gel very much like the moisturiser. But it is slightly richer. There is not much different in term of consistency. I just would not use this in the morning. Cause it is not for oily skin. Maybe it is the problem with the range and not the product. Anyway, my skin did not lighten but it sure is moisturised.

A gift from my aunt. This is a powdery matte finish. Really pretty and easy to use. Need to apply on the lips a few times to get it pigmented. Cause my lips are dry and dark. So it's not really pretty on dry lips. But the colours when swatched is really really pretty. It's a magenta and coral shade. I love it.

Do people still use mask from Taiwan? Or it's all about Korean sheet mask. Anyway, the essence of the mask has a jelly kind of feel. It is actually quite nice on the face initially. Not a cooling mask. In fact my skin kind of feel irritated after awhile. Like it's quite burning. Not sure how I feel about this. Probably I won't bother with it as there're so much mask out there in the market. So those that is so-so, I would not recommend it.

EdP 1ml sample, so lovely. I love the scent. It's the perfect scent for night events. Strong and feminine. Really a fragrance of a femme fatale. I like that it is not so overpowering but it just makes you feel powerful.

Not sure how I feel about this. Since it's a travel size, it is nice to have around. But if I have the full size, I probably will not enjoy it as much. The cleanser is fine. It does its job. The toner is fine too. I didn't really used it as much. But I think it's good for cooler weather. Cause you will need extra moisture. So this helps. I feel like when I did not use this, my skin feels dryer, even though I used an extra hydrating moisturiser.

This is only 1.3g worth of product and it cost $36. That's right, cause I don't want to pay $70 for the normal size not knowing if it is any good. Also their trio is forever sold out. Feels like crying when I saw the packaging. Such a tiny product for $36. But I mean my mini TF lipstick is $50 and it is the only one I used daily, and I still have a lot of it. So this probably can last forever too. I like that it is light. The shimmer is very subtle. I doubt you can really see it on the face. But I do try notice that I look glowier. What's the word? I don't know, maybe it is just my imagination. Never the less, if you have normal skin this will be fantastic for you. Or dry skin too. For oily skin, it will be better just to use this as highlight.

This is quite a small lipstick. At least it is shorter than most. The case is a sturdy plastic. Very secure when you close the lid. Cause it just feels really tight. Cognac is a burnt brown with hints of purple kind of shade. It's rather metallic in nature and very shimmery on the lips. In the place without much light, this looks alright on me. But with full on light, it doesn't suit me as much. The texture is nice though. Smooth and easy to apply. Very pigmented and feels good on the lips. I think if the colour is less orange? It will look slightly better. Cause now it just look quite out of place for an everyday look.

My wand is bended. Not sure why. It was suppose to be a straight wand, but it is now a curve wand. I still can work with it. It's a very thick mascara. Super volumous. Does not give much curves. So you need to curl your lashes. It is better once it is slightly used as it is not so wet. So it is easier to apply. I wouldn't buy it again, but it's probably good for people who want dramatic lashes.

I don't really like this. The smell is kind of weird. It's not bad, it's just not fragrance. I don't know. It just not that nice. The mask is quite wet, the essence texture like a gel.

I had this forever but I never mention it before. It was before I started buying pricier brushes. This set was about $19? I know it was not expensive. And it does come with 12 brushes, a mix of goat and synthetic hair. So it's really not bad. Plus a case too. Really useful. Of course now years later, the case starting to get yellow. So I'm throwing that out, and blogging this down as a memory. The bigger brushes are quite good. Little to less shedding when washed. It manages to retained its shape. Fluffy and quite soft too. The eye brushes are good too. They did their job. I can do a full eye look with them. Plus a spoolie never hurt. I did not use this much since then, but this manages to still be intact. So, it's a good set to buy for anyone trying out makeup. The brushes, in term of size and length will help you see if you like it or not. So when it's time to get a better one, you'll already know which one you like. Anyway, I'll be using a lot of the red powd...

This is such a good colour for the eyes. It's neutral enough with a little of sparkle. It is not bling, but it's not matte. So it does not look so flat. Longwear is right, this last forever. Unless you rub your eyes real hard, it's hard for this to disappear. Of course I use this more of like a line of shadow across the lid. But it's the colour that I'm in love with. I love a neutral that's more 3D.

This is for blackhead & exfoliates, sebum control, hydrates & soothes. This is the small version at only 21g (dry) and 25g (wet). They put it on the packaging. This is $8 from Sephora. The soap is quite good at removing makeup. I do find that my blackhead is minimised with constant use. I like that this foam up nicely. My skin will feel dry after using this, but not so squeaky clean. So it's a nice dry feel. But the thing about bars is that it is troublesome. So it is best if you have your own bathroom.

This one is not that nice. It tastes really bad. Even though my mouth are closed all the time, I still can feel something bitter. Don't really like this one.

So this is the new shower gel of sort from Sephora. It is $7 for 150ml. It is actually a shower balm which is suppose to be more moisturising for than shower gel. I bought this online. So I can't tell how the scent is going to be like. Pillow battle to me can be to fight against pillow which is suppose to be a morning scent cause you have to fight against sleep. Or it's a sleeping scent cause you'll battle with the pillow to sleep. Anyway the scent is like Lux soap. The brand Lux. A drugstore brand. So I really feel cheated. Cause Lux will cost $7 too but you'll get like maybe 600ml worth of soap. The texture is the same too. So yah. This one is a no for me.

This smells so good. At first it smell like honey. Then it just smell like candy. I'm thinking bubblegum, but I don't think so. It's just so yummy. I love it! The mask is really moisturising. It's perfect for those days you just need a little pampering.

I can't remember how much I bought this for. I choose to get the 50ml one cause I learn that it is better to try something small as you just never know if you will end up falling for it. This is alright. You are suppose to use this on dry skin to break up the makeup. Then apply a little water to foam it. But I find that I have to use a few pumps to cleanse my face.

This is the only one that I pick up a few. Grandma is holding out a dirty sock, so I assume this is to get rid of foot odor.

This is quite a nice makeup remover wipes. The wipes are smaller than I usually use. It is basically just 2 squares with polka dots. It is not exactly an exfoliating wipe. But so good at removing makeup. I like it.

Love BBW semi annual sales. Managed to snatch this at $7.60. I wanted the mint one, but it was sold out. This smells good too. The body wash is like a water down body lotion. I feel like it fall off my body really easily. So maybe a sponge is needed for this. I also have to use quite a lot to actually lather up my body. Therefore this run out rather quickly. For the price I paid, it is ok though.

Gel mask, my fav. This is for anti aging or so I read. I like it as it is cooling but naturally cooling kind. The mask is nice. It has a rough and smooth side. The smooth side is suppose to be placed on the face. At first it is quite wet. Then after awhile, the essence just get absorbed into the skin.

This is such a neat little trio. It is only about 9cm, so it is quite small. But it is for those who don't need much makeup. Cause the pigmentation is not great. Also this is quite light on me. The powder is fine. But the pan is small. So it can be hard to use. Also you need to use a puff. A brush just does not pick up much of the pigment. So it is not that good. Overall, this is a no. It is pricey if you convert it to SGD. Maybe for people in the UK, this is the standard price. Cause this to be will be ok for teens but it is just too pricey for them. I bought it at $20/$24.

It has been awhile since I use nail polish. I just want to start again and what better way to do so with a base colour. So here I have the Ciate base coat. It is not bad. It dries quite fast, quite glossy on its own. It also feels really sturdy on the nails. Not bad. The brush is a nice size to tackle small nails too.

Quite a sticky mask. It's nice cause it is thick so it feels really secure on. It is such a moist mask that I can put this on for hours. The mask is very moisturising and gives your face a very healthy glow. My face feels really plump and flush. I do not like it as I don't like that kind of look. I prefer matte flat look. But if you love their essence, you will love their mask.

I love this. It is expensive, but I got this from some goodie bag, so yay! It is so pigmented and you can use it two ways. One is lightly going over this on the kids. It makes such a pretty light shimmery brown. And the other is drawing it directly on the lid like an eye liner sort. The colour payoff is a lot more. So the colour is slightly darker. Both are so pretty. I usually just use this for a whole eye look. Darker closer to the lash line and lighter on the outside. Such a pretty colour. I'm obsessed. Also once this set, it is there for good. Unless you use wipes to remove them. But yesssss I love this!

Love this. It is soft matte, smooth, pore-diffusing finish. I thought it will be like silicon feel. But it is like a moisturiser. It is really good for oily skin. Yet, it does not make your face really matte. It really just gives you a rather soft matte.

This is a liquid lipstick and 13 is a very pretty colour. It's a glossy finish. It is quite sticky. But it is a good liquid lipstick. I don't know, I don't like it as much though. It just does not feel as comfortable on the lips.

I actually quite like this. It's $15 and has 55ml. So it will last me like about 4 months? I don't apply much moisturiser. I do, just not a lot cause my skin is oily. This is good for oily skin though. Upon application, it is quite hydrating. I have to wait about 3mins for it to be completely sink in. After that, my skin is fresh and smooth and dry, ready for makeup. It also last Long. Highly recommend this for oily skin. You just have to have time in your routine for this to dry on your skin. With this, I also learnt that my skin is actually combination of oily and normal. Like around my mouth, my skin is normal. Using this, makes it rather drying. So I have to rub my face to get rid of the dryness. Nothing dramatic, but it is good to know.

This is one those brand that you buy through word of mouth. Not sure how my aunt got the contact, but she gave me one. The cleanser is like golden moisturiser. It is alright and will foam up nicely. It is just super drying after. It is good for me cause my face feels less oily. But of course in the end, all the oil pool back in. But I guess this will be good for removing makeup. Cause the feeling of using this is just like removing everything off your face. So yah. It is $63 on lazada. So it is not cheap.

The first mask is like those pore care mask, that will stick to your nose. But it is actually just a mask that sit on your nose. Nothing special about it. I guess the purpose of step 1 is to open up the pores. The "blackheads emerge black mask" has an orange scent. Quite pleasant actually. You are suppose to put this on a cleanse face for 10-15 minutes. Then massage the solution for 2 minutes and remove it with warm water. Pat dry the skin with a clean towel. Step 2 is "blackheads emerging charcoal mud mask" to put on the entire nose. Leave on until dry and pull off from the bottom. The black mud is very gooey and has a very strong alcohol scent. It is too overbearing. Hate the scent. Also with this kind of mask, it never dry evenly. Step 3 "pore tightening black nasal mask" to put on the nose for 10-15 minutes. Then remove the mask and massage in until the essence is fully absorb by the skin. This has a really strong scent too. It smells so much like hair...

Not exactly the kind of scent I would get. But I just like the blue hues. It is very refreshing and beach like. Good for a situation where the room kind of stink. I love scents that is why I like BBW hand gel. It just nice to have around.

I was shopping at Watsons Taiwan and these bunch of boys was like, "get this, this is good." They were talking to each other of course. But when they left, I took a bottle myself. This is a misting spray. I guess you can use this for toner, or mist or other things.

Bought this at $29. It is just the refill but it us good enough. The plastic case is more sturdy than expected. It closed nicely. So it is actually quite safe in the makeup bag. This shade suit me. It is quite smooth and soft on the face. Slightly powdery when used with a brush, but a tapping motion control that. Easy to apply, not blotchy and good for oily skin. I like it.

Sweet pea is probably my fav scent from BBW. It's just so fresh and reminds me of spring. It is filled with childhood dreams and running around the grass field. It represents freedom and fun. It's just a scent that makes me happy. So I bought the shower gel $14, a mini fragrance mist $7 and the soap at $6. I also bought the home fragrance - wallflower. So good. I just love this scent. I guess sweet pea just takes me back to being the little girl when everything is worryfree. Love this. Such a thick gel but foam up so well. The scent is nice but it does not linger as long as I wanted it to. It is alright though as it just feels nice in the shower, but it does not necessary be too much for whole day kind. The fragrance is good but it can be a little sickening. It is slightly too sweet. Foaming soap is the best. So easy to use and so gentle on the hands. Love it!

Was given this as a sample. Not bad, I can use it twice. But also maybe cause I tried to use it twice. The texture is really fun. You have to rub it with dry hands until it became a paste. Then put on to the face. Wait for 10 minutes before removing. I just use water to clean off. It is easier than using a flannel. I like this. It just brighten up my whole face. It is so good. I like it. Only my undereyes look more dark. Guess using this, you will need eye mask too. I think, when there is a time that I used up all my masks, I will definitely buy LUSH masks. I would not buy it now, cause their products can only last for a few months.

This is not a bad body lotion. The scent is nice but not overpowering. The scent of lanolin but not as strong as how lanolin can be. It is slightly sticky for only a little while. This is the thing you buy for people when you come back from NZ. I like it enough.

This is shade no. 2. Slightly light on me. But once blended, the shade is ok. It will look better as a highlight or to brighten up under my eyes. The texture is ok.
