Laura Geller Love Me Dew Moisturising Lip Crayon

 This is in the shade Watermelon Cooler. A pretty baby pink shade. It is just the kind of colour that I would pick up for myself. Well at least last time I would. I had this forever but only started using this like in October 2020. Has the lip crayon gone bad? I don't know. It doesn't smell weird. The texture is still alright. So I'm guessing it is still ok to use.  Anyway, this is slightly glossy but it does not stain your lips. So not that good for 2020 where you have to use mask at all time.

MAC Matte Eyeshadow - Join My League?

Slightly powdery, but a good dark brown shadow. I like it really blended, as it just gices a really faint brownies hues. Probably wouldn't buy it on myown as I have a lot of brown shadows. But since I have it, it is good to have it around.

Waso Reset Cleanser Squad

This is very cute. It's only 70ml each though. The red is call romantic dream, sweet scent for calming your thoughts. A floral scent, I like it. After a few uses, I don't smell the scent anymore. Not sure if I am used to it, or it was not a strong scent in the first place. The yellow is good vibes with an energizing scent for boosting your mood. The green is wild garden, a refreshing scent for sharpening your concentration.

Shampoo tried and tested 8

Phyto Purifying Treatment Shampoo is quite good. No scent that I know of, foam up really well. Keeps my hair non oily for a day. So it's good in my book. Phyto Densifying Treatment Shampoo I like it ok. Not that good for oily hair. Yves Rocher Anti-dandruff Shampoo helps when my hair just got perm and it just got dry. So for some reason it just started to get flaky.

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser

This is alright. Nice and clean, but it makes my face oily after. So it is not the one for me.

Melvita Shower Gel Lemon Tree Flower & Lime Tree Honey

I was expecting lots more citrus scent. But its actually more artificial honey scent. You just a little and work into a lather. So i think it is best to use a loofa for this. But i like after using this, you just feel really fresh and clean.

BBW Gentle Foaming Hand Soap - Paris Amour

Su:m37 Water Full Hydration Care

Received these in the mailer. I think they promote it by mailing it to my block. Inside there us 4 samples. Water-full Water Gel Cleansing foam Not bad, i like it. Gentle and gel turn to foam, so thats always good in ny book. Water-full Deep Effect Ampoule Too hydrating for me. Better for dry skin. Water-full Timeless Pore Essence Better for normal skin. Water-full Timeless Water Gel Eye Lifting Essence This is not bad. Worth trying.

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

WASO Quick Matte Moisturiser

Guardian Calm Spa Bath Scrub

I would have thought that this smells like lavender. But it isn't. The smell is very faint. The scrub is gentle, can be used daily, but Iif you expecting something calming, this isn't it.

Cezanne EX Plus Powder

Powder, quite recommended from Japan. This is ths EX plus in shade ex3. It is slightly on the darker side. But it suits me ok. It blends well. I cant remember how much this cost. It is a foundation powder. So quite thick in application. Better than liquid foundation, but still a bit heavy for my daily use.

BBW Japanese Cherry Blossom Deep Cleansing Hand Soap

This smells just lovely. Love it. The scent also lingers on my hand. The scent from the body spray is not that appealing to me, even though it's the same scent. So the hand soap is really just nice. Not as strong and it is only for the hand.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Unclogging Purifying Sebo-controlling Mask

Anti shine mask to be used twice a week. It is like a mud mask, but it it less thick. I like it enough, but I wouldn't repurchase this. I just do not enjoy using this as much. But the good thing about this, is that you just have to put it on for 5 minutes before you wash it off. So it is a quick mask to use.

First Impression: Laduree Translucent Make Up Base

This is quite nice. Better for normal skin than oily skin, but still nice. It is a light beige, quite watery consistency. But it is colourless when you blend it in. It gives a really nice smooth canvas for your face. A good base to apply makeup on. So this is a so so item.

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad

Looking at TF, it just remind me of Charlotte Tilbury. This is the 01Golden Mink with 4 beautiful shades. 2 beautiful glittery shades and 2 pearly shades. Rather neutral, slightly warm. A simple eye look can be done with these 4 shades. Having a matter brown will be nice, but it is fine.

Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender Body Set

The scent is ok. I like the shower gel and the conditioner. The shampoo is not for oily hair. The facial soap is quite nice too. It is not drying. The body lotion is slightly on the oily side. Really good for cold weather. But normal Singapore weather is a no for me.

Canmake Stay On Balm Rouge

A tinted lip balm, in a stick. It feels really nice on the lips. Albeit too red for my liking. I feel like it is a nicer colour for evening use. But this is a balm, a lip colour in the shade T03. It doenst have any scent. Once the shine is gone, it sort of tinted my lips. So it actually is a nice colour balm for daily use. Fuss free and easy.

7 Days Masks

I only managed to buy 4. I was hoping to buy the other 3. I wish I could have buy all 7 days, it would be a fun week to have to use the masks. I had been waiting to review all 7, but nevertheless I read online that these masks were only produced for a year. That the ones you buy could have been fake ones with no ingredients whatsoever to help your skin. I wouldnt know, but my masks expired in 2019, so produced in 2016? Anyway, these masks featured Song Joong Ki, a South Korean actor famous for the drama Descendent from the Sun. I honestly didn't watch it. I only saw a clip of it, and I dont understand the hype. Anyway, I bought it cause Im obsessed with a list and these masks have 7, so I thought I could have try them all, that's all.

Maybelline Matte Maker Powder

Bought this awhile back as backup. I always trying to find a good affordable powder. Or I guess you will say setting powder. This is in the shade 50 Sun Beige. It feels like it is slightly on the darker side, but it swipe alright. It is actually nice on the skin. I wouldnt use this to bring out, as it has no brush. The packaging is alright. It turn and close thightly. So it is ok to bring around. Just that you need to bring an extra brush or sponge. This doesn't last matte on my skin for long, so a touch up is needed. It is ok for a normal short trip to supermarket but not recommended for a whole day use. I wouldn't repurchase.

Milani Baked Powder Blush Luminoso

This blush is highly recommended by the youtube community. I first hear it when Milani is not even in Singapore. But it just became one of the product I wanted to try. I guess people do say that this is a dupe for Orgasm.

Guardian Rejuvenate Spa Bath Scrub

This is quite good. I bought it at RM7.90 for 250ml, slightly pricey as compare to the sale RM10 for the 750ml. But this one turn out to be on promo too buy 1 get 1. So it is more justifiable to get it. I dont like the big one as it comes with a pump. So not really good for travel. This ons is just nice in size. The smell is nice. Refreshing. The scrub is gentle. It can be use for daily use.

Yogurt Mask

Smells like yakult, really nice to use. Moisturising but nothing special. Does not irritate my skin. So I jist apply this until the mask dry up. Simple, good smelling, that's all.

First Impression: Choosy Peach

This smells like bubblegum. Not the sweet cotton candy kind, but more of the fruity kind. So i do like this. It doesnt taste bitter. Its nice on the lips. I dont really think this has any use. I been using them, yet my lips are still quite dry.

Nia Fully Charged Serum X Moisturizer

This is a lazy girl answer for healthy skin. It is a 2in1 product for day and night time use. Its light weight and blend into the skin well. Slightly sticky I feel, especially on the fingers. But the face absorb it quite ok. This sample is good to have for traveling. You not only will save time, you do not have to bring so many product. So it is nice.

Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions All Over Clearing Treatment

This cost me RM115. So less than $40 for 50ml. Is it worth, I don't know. I did say that I probably wouldn't buy the full size. But here I went. My face was just breaking up really bad. It is a thick moisturiser, at least is thick on the skin. Still spreadable, but slightly on the "heavy" side. It takes at least half a minute for the moisture to sink in to the skin. After that, it is really good. Drying yet moisturising. Good for oily skin. It just that you have to have the patience to wait for it to dry. It also good at not irritating my skin. I find that my pimple doesn't burst out whenever it feels like it. So I think it is thanks to this.

Betty-Lou Manizer

I love betty lou manizer. The pigmentation is just wow. It is also so pretty. Really good for anyone with a tan. I used this more as an eyeshadow, cause I don't really use highlight. But I like the shade of this, I like the feel, I just like it. But I really have no use for it.

First Impression: Skinfood Caviar Mask

Firm skin with nutrients and moisture. This mask is ok. Slightly more wet but not messy. I dont feel that it will actually firm up your skin. But I guess it is moisturising enough for a normal mask. So it is fine. Not a mask you have to try, but I wouldnt mind using it again.

Astor Colour Last VIP - Sexy

I used to want to try out all the brands and product out there. Astor is one of those brands that you can find in Europe or was it UK. This is the Heidi collab. It was fairly cheap, so I jisy bought it to try. I like the red, but in term of texture, this is a pass for me. I guess I am older now, I prefer quality over quantity. So I am just going through the phrase of clearing my makeup and noting it down so one day I can look back on how much money I spent on makeup and think of how much wiser I have become.

First Impression: Skinfood Propolis & Bee Venom Mask

This is to enhance skin to make it look better. The mask has a baby powder scent which is quite nice. Slightly stingy but not painful. So not really a good relaxing mask.

First Impression: Choosy Herb

I like this. It is the most neutral lip mask. It doesn't taste like herb at all. No scent of herb too. It just normal, I like it. It just stay on my lips until it dry up. So this is something I will repurchase.

Colourpop Katleen Light Super Shock Shadows

 Cornelious a matte brown and Glow a matte vanilla.  Blaze a metallic goldand Kathleenlights a pearly bronze. I so forgotton about these. I bought them ages ago when Kathleen Light did a collab with Colourpop. I forgot what the set call but it has these 4 individual shadows. They are pigmented, but after so long, these kind of get dry. I feel by tapping these on the lid, they give such powerful intensity, and are actually really hard to clean off. I like these colours, I like the payoff, but I dont think I will use these. I guess if i used them when I first bought them, these would be a fav. But for now, they are just shadows to play around with.

First Impression: Skinfood Snail Mask

For rough skin to firm and smooth. I dont really like the scent of this. One second it smell weird, another it smell floral. It just weird. The mask is at first ok, but it kind of sting after awhile. So this is a no for me.

L'Oreal Colour Riche - 171 Pink Cashmere

Buttery, smooth, but im not really loving the colour.  It is too light for me. After awhile it kind of dry up. So nkt a fan of this.

First Impression: Choosy Purple Pearl

This does not feel very special. It doesnt smells that nice, and doesn't have any taste. Quite basic. So I dont really have much to say about this.

First Impression: Skinfood Bird's Nest Mask

I do not like the smell of this. At first out of the mask, it smells ok. But on the face, it has a sour scent. It is really ugh. Its a bit more moisture this mask as compare to rest I've used. So i guess this is really for dry skin. But really, is there a mask that is not meant for moisture? It just seems all the mask is created this way.

First Impression: Skinfood Brussels Sprout Mask

This is for dry, rough and sensitive skin. At first the mask smells quite good, like salad. But eventually it just that. It is not good on blemish skin. Its quite stinging. Im not really a fan of this. So far the others i tried is ok, but this one is a bit not that pleasant.

First Impression: Skinfood Aloe Mask

This is a very standard mask. Its for dry skin. I would say it is moisturising but not so moisturising. It is just a very simple mask. When I apply it all I think about is that it is such a basic mask.

REN Active 7 Eye Gel

It's been awhile since I actually have eye cream. I usually just put on moisturiser and be done with it. But I've been trying to remove my black eyes. It's just my concealer can't really help covering it. And I don't know which concealer to get. I just want to used up the ones I have for now. So I've been trying to use eye cream to see if it helps. It's a clear gel but quite dense. So a little goes a long way. Quite sticky, so use it sparingly. I feel like it helps reduce my black eyes. Doesn't make it dissappear, but lessen it.

Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream

It's a small tube about 9cm. Easy to open and you just need to use your finger to apply. But this is an allo tube like so you press on it just a lil bit and the cream came out. So it's very fragile. A lot will be wasted. So it's best not to touch it. Everytime I use this, I will waste a lot of cream. Granted I need to use a lot to cover my lips. It is really good, but I have to use a lot. It doesn't glide all the way. It just get absorb into the skin. So ya, it is good but too messy for my liking.

First Impression: Skinfood Watermelon Mask

For sensitive and dry skin. I really like the smell of watermelon which is really nice. But it is quite subtle. It's really moisturising. I like it enough, but I wouldn't repurchase this. I do wish everything I use will smell like this.

TBS Rich Plum Shower Gel

I'm not sure if this is the 2018 or 2019 Christmas collection. It's very good lather, but the scent is quite subtle. It's unlike TBS. But I find that the scent only appear after you rub it all over. It doesn't really linger though. So idk. I like TBS cause of the scents. So without it, it just become a normal soap.

First Impression: Skinfood Maca Root Mask

For fatique and dry skin. It is OK but I feel like the mask doesn't fit my face. It just wasn't comfortable using this. It also feels really hot like quite sharp piercing but not in a painful way. I wouldn't recommend this.

L'Oréal EverSleek Intense Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner

Is still out in the market? I have the samples so long ago that I forgot to use them until I run out of conditioner. It's OK, supposed to help with frizz for 48 hours. But that is not true. My hair still stood on ends. So it's not good for smooth hair. The conditioner didn't sink into the hair. Mor elike it just glide down the hair. I have to use a lot it for some to stay on the hair. So these are not my fav. In term for oily hair, I do have to wash it daily. Cause by night, it will start to look oily. But still manageable.

First Impression: Skinfood Horse Fat Mask

This mask has a nice scent to it. I don't know what scent, but it's very pleasant. It's alright. I mean nothing really special about it. I like it enough cause the smell is nice. I will use it again if I have it. But I won't specially buy it. Most of the mask will say horse oil, but this one say horse fat. So that's a good quirk.

First Impression: boscia Green Tea Mattifying Hydrogel Mask

I like rubber masks cause they're just really smooth to the touch. But this is super messy to use. It's so not worth applying. I like the fact that this is a 2 piece mask, but it is still so hard to apply. I like that the rubber mask dry out after awhile and you feel the mask texture it's sort of cloth like. Anyway this is suppose to be a mattifying mask but seriously, my face is still oily after. So this is so not worth it.

Maybelline Master Conceal

I got one in the shade 30 light/medium which is slight light, but good for under my eyes. This is a full coverage concealer meant for covering dark circles. I really like this. Its very velvety when you apply to the skin. It's really nice. Smooth and high coverage. I guess I'm a little surprise at how well my dark circles seem to be gone using this. I enjoy using Fenty but it can be cakey sometime. So this is a nice change. Also I bought this at Melbourne below $10. Can't remember if it was on sale. But ya, good value.
