The Stuff I'd Used

I still love Smith lip balm. This is the minted rose one. I think I still prefer the original. But this is nice if you like a bit of mint. It's very moisturising. And gives a nice rosey hint. Just do jot leave it under hot weather. It easily melt and gets oily.

I really like hand masks that I have to use weekly this month. So the second hand mask I used is this Kocostar moisture pack. I like the smell of Sephora one better, but this one is less lotion. So my hands is not that loaded with essence when I remove them. It's easier to handle. So yes, I like it, but this can smell better.

I like that this cover the neck. But it's not exactly comfortable to use. It just pull too much on the ear. There is also the seams in the centre of the mask. So it just look weird. But once you get used to it, it is quite OK.

I really like this. It is just so soothing. Once you open the packet, you can just smell the aloe Vera. The hand gloves is also nice. Very wet, and it felt comfortable using it. Once you remove it, it is quite sticky. So that's the downside. I mean you will be having lots of lotion on the hands, that part is nice. I will rub my arms with the leftover lotion. But once that's gone, the hands kind of feeling rather sticky. So I feel this is best to use under air con room, when you are ready for bed. Cause you can sleep off the stickiness and wake up with really soft hands.

Tom ford soleil blanc perfume was launched by tom ford in 2016. This unisex floral oriental captures the sunshine of its name. Eclectic top notes of bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper and pistachio create a hint of spice over heart notes of tuberose, egyptian jasmine and ylang-ylang. Finishing notes of coconut milk, amber, sandalwood, tonka bean and orange blossom extend the enchanting, sunshiny scent. This is a pricy perfume. I'm so used to buying $100 over perfume. Like even Jo Malone is one of the pricier perfume out there to me. And I always wanted Bond No 9 Scent of Peace which was $200++ and that's a crazy amount to me. But now perfume cost around that much. Its like an average bottle will set you back to an average of $180, and it's just for the 50ml. Well I mean for the higher end kind. This was given as a gift to my cousin and it doesn't suit her, so it just got pass to the enxt person. We do this all time. Pass around things as Singapore don't have t...

This is $40, so each mini balm is $20; really pricey. But it is NARS after all, so I guess that will be the price point. Each lip balm is 1.1g. The small size is surprisingly comfortable when you use. Usually mini doesnt have that nice gliding on the lips as compare to full size. But this is fine. It glides really well, very smooth and gives the pretties glossy look. It's like a lip gloss, but a lip balm comfort. I like it, the gloss is really subtle too. Like it is so effortless yet it feels like you put in time to get your look put together. Oh, I think the texture is like lip butter. So if you have extra funds, get this.

I've been wanting to try these out. The big bottle is 500ml, comes with a pump and it's $19.90. These babies are 100ml and $2 each. I remember I saw these 100ml at a higher price before. I guess they're having sales. So I couldn't resist and got all 4. Rose - refreshing + romantic Lavender - relax + silky smooth Chamomile - refreshing + moisturising Cherry blossom - lightening + brightening They are so pretty in the pastel colours and each gel has flower petals in it. Thay have a very strong scent. Very floral, and feminine. Formulated in France, made in China. Is that a deal breaker? Maybe. But still pretty. The lavender is really nice, the scent is very relaxing. A good lavender scent. Great for the night time. Rose doesn't smell like Rose. It's like very subtle, floral scent, but doesn't make me think of roses. Cherry blossom is quite strong. A bit artificial, but it's just nice to be soak in the scent. Chamomile is rather weak, but when lath...

This is the kind of lipstick colour I always seem to get. This is the mini version, which is enough. It last for a very long time. It is sturdy, and it is creamy. Very pigmented and comfortable on the lips. The shade is quite similar to MAC Fast Play. Just that this is the cream version.

I have always love the scent of Dove. It's just very milky, and warm and cuddly that kind of feeling. I guess you have to watch their commercial long ago to have that image in your head. But Dove is the scent that just give your the feeling that someone is there to care for you. This hand soap is no different. It's moisturising, and has the scent. So it's really nice.

Is it officially Christmas? This spiced apple is like maybe a year ago or is it 2 or 3 years ago range. But the scent is still there and the lotion is still as good. Not sticky at all. I like it. Just feel like Christmas. Warm and fruity.

I like this. Its a gel mask that has 2 pieces. One for the forehead and nose and one for the cheeks and chin. So snuggle really nicely. It's not cooling but it's refreshing. I like this.

I like this. Its very cleansing. Like it's not drying, but I cna feel my skin very clean while using it. It has a slight, very faint herbal like scent. But it's OK. It's not off putting. It's not exactly a sexy cleanser. But it do its job very well. I just need this to remove my makeup and clean my face. It's really a good 3 in 1 product.

This is a periwinkle colour mask. It is meant for hydrating. But it also help to control sebum. When I wash away this mask, I can feel that my skin was cleaned really well but it wasn't squeaky clean. So it wasn't drying but it helps with the oily skin. If that make any sense. So this is actually really nice.

This conditioner is quite oily on the hair. I have to rinse it off longer than normal. Then my hair felt like it was dry. Surprisingly, once toweled, it's really easy to comb my hair. So even though it felt like the conditioner got washed off, it does work quite well on the hair.

This is a purple primer. Good primer to smooth the skin. But bad for oily skin. This doesn't do anything to keep oil from my face. So I don't really like using this.

Every store now have their own OEM item. This is a mask from Guardian Indonesia. Imported by Hero supermarket, produced by Guangzhou Lianying Cosmetic Co. It is quite a cute mask with a little rabbit on the cheek. I never really know how to put on a mask. Sometime there is instruction on which side the mask touches the skin. For this, you can see that the cute design is on the left side of cheek. So that's easy enough to deduce. It's a moisturising mask. I don't expect it to be. But it's actually quite good. Fuss free.

I like the concept of thebalm. It's just so cute naming the shadows after guys. This is the Matt version and every shadow is name after Matt something. It's 9 matte eyeshadows. Very generous palette with a mirror.  Anyway to me the shades are like this: Matt Lim - light salmon peach Matt Thomas - light milky pink Matt Rossi - taupish brown Matt Lopez - light hazelnut Matt Kumar - deep brick red Matt Moskowitz - gorgeous deep maroon Matt Evans - neutral caramel Matt Reed - deep brown with hint of purple Matt Ahmed - black I'm probably way off with describing the colours, but that's what I see and think of these.

This is like a hair oil in a bottle of aromatherapy oil. It's quite hard to get the oil out. You have to really shake it by tapping it on your palm. This is for damage hair. I thought it might help with my curls. But it did nothing to it. In fact it just makes my hair more straight. So I guess this will be good for dry hair or hair that needs a bit of love due to split ends. I like it enough cause its not so oily on the hair. It doesn't make my hair sticky or look like it has product on. So it's just an average hair oil that is nice enough to have on if that make sense.

I bought 2 shades - 210 and 220. These 2 are the closest to my skin tone. 210 is slightly on lighter side. Great for highlighting and brightening under the eye. 220 is more skin tone, better for concealing dark circles and spots. They are very pigmented and long lasting. The wand grab enough product that you just need to take out from the tube once.

This smells quite nice. Floral. Soothing. I like it. It is s a thick mask, feels good on the face. But it's the kind of mask that you are aware when using it. Sometime you forgot you have a mask on, this is not that. So I don't think this is a mask that you'll feel comfortable having on if you happen to fall asleep.

Welcome fall. Love myself some wine Berry shade lipstick. Perfect for the colder months, even though its still freaking hot in Singapore. But as it comes closer to Christmas, I tend to pick up Berry tone more. It just festive feeling. Feeling good and warm and happy at these time. I like this as it is a good colour. I like to just dap it along my lips to give that wash of colour. It isn't drying which is nice. But you do have to use lip balm eventually.

Bought this for my perm hair as I feel the other hair spray doesnt keep the curls. You are suppose to spray this 5-10cm away from the hair and massage it by grasping wavy hair by hand.then follow by blow dry or just leave it to air dry. It is to revive waves, moisturise hair and reduce dryness. You are suppose to use this on dry hair though. I tried it on wet hair but it doesn't really do its job. I managed to get the curl when it's wet. Like you can see the waves when it is wet. However when my hair dry up, the curl is only at the bottom. It is good on dry hair. It helps to define the curl. It makes it more voluminous somehow. I like it. But I guess I can only use this on weekends when I have time to air dry my hair. Or after work and I have time to go home to touch up my hair before going out again.

I think i have kept this for way too long. Its quite dry, so it doesn't really give me the lashes I expect lancome mascara will give. Its still a nice mascara. The wand is curve and easy to get all around the lashes. It's nice to coat them. Good at separating the lashes, so it doesn't clump. I like all lancome mascara. I prefer just a normal straight brush, but this is OK too. I wouldn't mind buying the full size.

I like the scent of this. Doesn't smell like watermelon, more like cucumber. It's very refreshingly soothing. But it's not exactly a soothing mask. Anyway, I like it.

I really TBS shower gel and it was just nice they were having promo. Buy at least 2 for $5 each. Normal price is $10-$12. This is only 250ml. Fora person growing up with TBS, $10 for 250ml is quite pricey. I know prices have gone up. But still.. Anway I never try this before, I don't think. The smell is not wow, but it's a clean smell. Very spa like. Very subtle. I like it. Well not enough, but I know Argan Oil is suppose to be very moisturising, which is what I need. On hind sight, I should have chosen the shea butter.

This smells quite nice. Really fruity. That's the only different I feel about this. I like the scent enough to buy it again.

This is a nice light moisturiser. I used it in the morning. It's not exactly a matte moisturiser. But this is for oil control. So it is meant for oily skin but can be used for any skin type. I will still have to use a powder to set my skin. But even without, as long as I don't stay under hot sun for long period, my face will not be oily. So this is good.

This is a nice little concealer to have. This is in the shade natural beige. It's slightly more warm in real life. This is quite nice. It's thick but not cakey. It really brighten up my undereye.

I have the Kumudu shampoo and the conditioner. The shampoo is alright. Good for a short day. I like it enough. It kept my hair really soft. The considtioner is alright. Have to leave it on awhile for it to keep the hair smooth. If not, it smoothen just a bit before going back to nothing. The soap and body lotion is Jasmine Orange. The scent is not overpowering. Its very subtle. I wish that I can be stronger. But the shower gel is luxurious. It feels good when you apply it. Its foam up a lot, so a little goes a long way. Body lotion is watery. Easy to apply. Will have to use it in air con room, if not it can get a bit greasy. So really good for cold weather.

Love the shade. Love the product. Its very creamy and moisturising. The shade is very nuetral and cover up my lips really nicely. Doesn't make me look pale. I love this.

Oh how I miss the body shop scents. This is not fruity. Its a flower. But the scent just woke me up. Really good for morning. It has help me wake up. So I really like it. Its a flower scent, but not too flowery. I like it.

The shade PD05 is a grey brown shade. It's just the right shade for me. This is 3 product in 1. An eye brow pencil, eye brow powder and a spoolie. You are suppose to draw your brow, the outline with the pencil and use the powder to colour it in. Then use the brush to even it all out. I like it enough. It gives really natural look. But you have to really draw it out. It takes time to apply this. So it's not a product for if you are in a hurry.

I like this for traveling. Its small. And cost like $2. Yes it is 30g only, but its worth it. The scent is not so strong. But can last through the whole day. I wouldnt thi k it can last the 48h it claim to. But a day is good enough. It doesn't irritate after shaving which is most important. I don't know if it helps with perspiration. I just use this to kept the stink away.

Nice little travel size. The bottle is cute. It is 5ml. The scent is a bit too strong for my liking. I feel like the flower scent is too much for me. I don't know, just not my favourite. A bouquet of delicate Peony and Rose notes honed by the freshness of Calabrian Bergamot and adorned with a lacework of White Musks. This floral bouquet pays homage to Christian Dior's legendary passion for flowers.

Nice lip balm. I always thought that this is a coloured lip balm. It's actually very sheer. It catches on to your lip colour. It just gives a very nice rosey hints. I like it cause it's super moisturising. But you have to keep using it. Once I forgot to bring it out, my lips crack back to before. So you just have to keep using it until you know your lips are OK. I just wish they improve on the cap, as its hard to take off especially if my fingers are wet or after I put on hand lotion.

I not sure if you can call this micellar water. I guess I just categories it as one. It is after all a water to cleanse the face. So ya, same category. Cleanse well but I don't like the smell. It just smell off. I don't know, so I hardly use this. I just wash my face normally without this extra step. So a bit wasteful.

This is stated as true matte. I like the original, as it is a soft matte, but I just had to get this. I like this too. It is slightly more matte than the original, but doesn't leave your skin dry. This last the whole day too. In fact, for matte skin, this is a lot better. It just last longer. The original will give your skin a dewy finish by the end of the day. So it just depend on what kind of look you want.

This is in the scent coconut sugarcane. It's nice, not overly coconut like. It's just very delicious but not the kind you feel like it's good enough to eat. It just smells good. I like the scrub too. It's strong but gentle. It's hydrating. Feels good on the skin. It's overall a good body scrub.

This is super hydrating. Really good when you have dry skin or you just need a little moisture. So really good to use this after travelling.

I always love Lancome mascara. So this is love. A travel size mascara. This is not so dramatic. Perfect for daily use.

A satin finish, it's a love hate thing for me. I like that it's not drying. I just don't really like the look of it sometime. Sometime it is just way too shiny. The shade brave is a nice neutral pink. Online said that it is a warm toned medium dark pink. But to me, it's a light pink. Especially on my lips. I guess if you have pigmented lips, this will be slightly light on you. I do like it though as I do want some pink, but I prefer neutral shade. So this is a good shade to have both.

Mini cleanser. I cannot stress how much I love mini things. This is good for a short trip. Actually this last a lot longer than expected. This is 7.5ml, and I used about 6 washes for it. That's really good, considering I overload the product. It is an OK cleanser. I like it just fine. Not loving it though. There is just something about it that I don't really like.

It said that its for the morning. But I don't think it has SPF in it. So it should be good for night time too. I use this at night only though, as I don't want my oily skin to be affected by this. I woke up with pretty matte skin. But that is cause sleeping in air con room. So I don't know if that play a part. It's a slight thick cream. Well thicker than the gels I'm used to. I think in term for travel wise, this is quite nice. It is small, plastic, moisturising, so not bad at all.

This is a 20g of clearing gel to get rid of your pores. With a slight dry face, you need to apply this on around your nose and let it slightly dry for 3 minutes. Then massage your nose, the gel will come off with the excess sebum, and rinse with water. It's OK, but I don't think it's really effective.MMaybe you just have to use it a few times.

This is $4.60, but I got it on sale at $3.90 and it is so worth. This is one of the best cotton pads I used. I like exfoliating cotton pads, as it is quite thick. But this is also very good. For using cleansing water, this cotton surprisingly hold very well. For thicker lotion/moisturiser, this can pull away, but only if you concentrate it. So for normal things, it's quite good.

This is one of those mask that look so plain, but it's actually really good. I wasn't excited using this. But I really enjoy the mask after using. It actually gets dry after putting on for 20 minutes. So u just feel like the essence get absorb into my skin. It is not a messy mask. Nothing special about it. Itʼs hydrating, without making your skin oily. Overall I enjoy it and I kept wanting to use it. So that's a repurchase potential for me.

So Sephora even still sell this? Sephora kept changing or upgrading their products that sometime I'm not even sure why I bother to buy and keep stock. I buy cause I want to try them. And if I happen to like them, I can't find them anymore. So frustrating. But oh well. Oh well. I shall review this. I kept this for quite some time, and I used this like once ages ago. This is 190ml, 1 pump is all you need. Better to be used on dry skin, but I find wet skin works too. As you use on dry skin, you'll have to wet it after to lather it, then wash away with water. I find that it can be hard to clean away. It's not that it is hard, but it just feel like the oil still on your face. Cause it doesn't dry up your skin, so it just feel like that. Overall it is an OK product. But I wouldn't purchase this again.

This has a really nice gel solution. I don't like the scent as it's very medicinal like. More helbal like. This is to brighten uneven skin tone and conceal dark spots. Overall its a good mask. Easy to wear, cling on the skin well. It's not extremely wet. So it's not messy to apply. I like it. If you like herbal scent, this will be for you. I don't like it. But I think I'm used to it. I don't know if the pill picture on the packaging has to do with it being like medicine.

Another matte brown. Another neutral. I like this shade. It's a good shade for a single shadow look. Or it can be used as a crease colour. For brows too, but I'm more towards taupe shade now. Brown makes me look very out of place. But a few years ago, brown is the only shade suitable.
