Its more than just black and white beauty.

Recently went to Astro IPTV Hollywood and Celebrities party which was heap of fun to meet all those people, not forgetting see what people dressed up as :D

Here's some picture to do the talking

There even have a mock home there for chilling and testing out how Astro IPTV feels!

If I could have IPTV at my home, I definitely won't want to head out to anywhere and be comfy as hell at home :)

Our World, Their War

2011-06-15T02:03:00.004+10:00

Who don't like the amazing graphics of Transformer 1... and 2... and 3 now! If I have to be one Autobot to save the world... I would choose Bumblebee!

Because he is yellow and the coolest part... he uses the radio to speak. I find that damn cool... and possibly that can help charm some evil away with his coolness.

Also why Bumblebeee because he is amazing and will fight with all his might to save the world!

Really can't wait to watch Transformer 3. And perhaps we can all save the world together!

Dead

2009-10-12T21:38:00.002+11:00

I really hope this blog won't go dead. haha

A list of things I would love to try.

1. Nude lips.

I never wear lipsticks, however nude lip colour sound so tempting.

2. Smoky rocker chick eyes.

I have smoky eyes but never rocker chick type. I shall try.

3. Flawless skin.

I wish I could and would know how to use foundation properly. I envied those who could

Give me 2 more weeks and I will try to resurrect this blog. haha

Nivea Cleansing Wipes

2009-09-16T00:28:00.000+10:00

You know what's the cure to laziness on removing make up at the wee hours

This!

Bought it from Priceless $9.90 for pack of two. It's about the same price to Malaysia price after convertion. It's rather effective in removing my make up including my waterproof mascara (Maybelline). Of course it can't beat doing the 3 facial cleansing steps. It make me feel a little sticky at times.

The cloth is well lubricated though, not as dry but I do feel sometimes it's too much.

They even comes with clip to keep the packet close and not dried up.

Yes, it's definitely a little more pricey compare to normal make up remover. I only use it during those night when I couldn't be bother (ie. tipsy night.heh.)

MAC Mineralize Blush - Improvise

2009-09-15T01:42:00.006+10:00

When MAC Colour Craft comes out with a range of mineralize blusher, my heart skips a beat. Well, everyone knows how much I love my blushers and MAC Dainty mineralize blusher have been my ultimate favourite.

I was torn with choice and end up getting Improvise, with some help form Ai-Lynn who drops by.

It's definitely a nice colour to have and own. I guess I haven't fall head over heels for it yet. My house lighting does not help at all. I definitely love it's peachy light coral colour thought albiet a little shimmery.

Glowy or Shiny? I can't help feeling a little glittery when I wear it out on the noon. Better for night though and no MSF needed. :)

Can it beat Dainty? Definitely not, can be improve (pun intended.)

L to R - Dainty, Improvise.

Improvise definitely looks more coral and less pinkish when compare to Dainty. One more to add into my blusher collection. Well some girls love lipgloss, my love lies on blusher... heh

Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera

2009-09-10T17:04:00.006+10:00

My winter was lasted with The Body Shop Vitamin E lip balm. Towards the end of finishing the product, the twister at the bottom refused to work. So for the past few weeks, I have been going out with bare lip. It gets dry so I drink more water. It only makes you pee but not moisturize my lip. Sigh, so much for studying abroad and wanting to save money.

So after hunting for apartment today, I went to the local pharmacy; wanting to get a lip care/ lip balm. I didn't want to get those twister-lipstick-kind. I wanted something to just use my finger and apply it all around my lip.

I narrowed down to two products. Both are Vaseline.

Vaseline Basic Petroleum Jelly

The product features are so awesome. You can apply it to your skin, cure small burns, dry lips and moisturizing. It is technically all in one petroleum jelly. It's not that expensive; only NZD 7.99 for 100g (with 10% off from Radius pharmacy). Usually mothers would recommend to buy this.

Then I found this...another Vaseline.

Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera

Priced at NZD 5.50 for 20g; it's ridiculously more expensive compared to the basic one. How I ended up buying this lip care which I think it's ridiculously priced compared to the omgsomanythingsicandowith basic Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. The sales assistant told me that the lip care is really good and she has been using it for a long time. So I believed her and bought it. Such a sucker for persuasive sales assistant.

Generally, the lipbalm/ lip care priced between NZD 5 to NZD 10 and above. $5 will be like Vaseline range, $6 for Nivea lipcare and $10 & above for The Body Shop.

But it is really good for lip care. Rather than the usual dry lip balm that I've been previously using, this is bit more moisturizing. The texure of it is a bit oily for my preference but it can be pros; 1) you don't need to use a lot 2) even if u took too much out; just wipe it on your hand to work as moisturizer (it doesn't stay oily considering this place is cold and dry).

That's the before and after. The after looks more appealing; i should say. I am not a lipgloss kinda girl. So this lipcare works just fine with its shinniness for me. :)

If you have extra; just use it as lotion. ;)

Updates

2009-09-05T03:43:00.002+10:00

So much to update but so little time :P

Updates coming up
- MAC Mineralize blusher - Improvise
(do you think it will beat my favourite, MAC Dainty?)

- Stila Trio Eyeshadow
(StrawberryNET shipping is quite awesome and fast)

- Nivea Cleansing Wipes

- The Body Shop Seaweed Facial Cleanser

Let's hope I will get to it and not becoming so lazy.

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack

2009-08-27T01:41:00.005+10:00

I had finally got MAC fluidline! and it is one word. A.w.e.s.o.m.e. No idea why I have waited so long to get a gel eyeliner as an eyeliner lover. sigh. Also thanks to Ai-Lynn for getting it for me and bring to Aussieland!

Without flash

With flash

The colour I got is blacktrack, which is a rich matte black. No doubt about it.Tried comparing with my other black eyeliner and they fall way behind.

left to right - MAC Fluidline, Shu Uemura liquid eyeliner, The Body Shop eyeliner

With one swipe, MAC fluidline beat my Shu Uemura liquid one which I applied two swipes. As for TBS one.. sigh it doesn't even look black next to them.

I have tried wearing fluidline for a couple of days and wore it for 12 hours and it hardly fade. As for the lower eyeliner (especially waterline) it only lasted a couple of hours. Can't complain nothing last on my waterline more than a couple of hours even Shu Drawing Pencil.

Definitely will want to try more gel eyeliner :)

Potential HG

2009-08-18T18:59:00.020+10:00

I'm trying to compile a list of my potential HG. How I would see it if it's potential HG is when I finish it and I would definitely get it again.

Eyes
Eyeliner (pencil) - Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil
Never smear and long lasting till whole day

Eyeliner (crayon) - MAC Technakohl
Easy to apply and good colour payoff

Eyeshadow - Dior Duo Eyeshadow
I love this because it's a foolproof when comes to smokey eyes and it's buttery soft

Eyelash Curler - Shu Uemura curler
Try it and you will know

Mascara - Maybelline Volume Express
Cheap and do what it's say :)

Face
Concealer - Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer (I love this to death!)
Dark eye circle can go and hide!

Blusher - MAC Dainty mineralize blush
Foolproof blusher and natural

MSF - MAC Petticoat!
The colour of it really one of it's kind

Highlighter - Eyeko Cream
Easy to apply, cheap and don't make you look like glitterbomb

Lip
Lip Balm - Vaseline Lip Therapy
kissable lips! and less than RM10!

Skin Care
Moisturizer - Biotherm Aquasource
Not oily yet you will not have dry patch anymore!

Some stuff like foundation and all, I had tried but never really uses so I won't include it here. I'm odd I know! I prefer using concealer only. Lazy people like me haha.

I notice some of my favourite are from the more expensive brands, if it's good and do what it says and doesn't compromise my skin, I won't mind spending an extra few bucks. Just have to save a little more. Quality versus quantity, I guess for me.. I do however like to experiment with other brands especially in lower cost ones. Not such an heartache if it doesn't work compare to the expensive ones. :)

Would love to read other's HG list too!

Stila Eyeshadow Trio - Bronze Glow

2009-08-17T22:45:00.003+10:00

I tell you internet is evil sometimes. haha

Guess how much I got this eyeshadow for?

$14!

Strawberrynet.com sales can be awesome.
Alright, I'm a little nervous purchasing from there first time (finger crossed.)
Go grab their summer sales stuff now. Lots of goodie.

I was devastated when Stila was on sales in KL and I am no where near sigh. Much money save though. haha

Lush Giant Bath Bombs

2009-08-02T03:53:00.003+10:00

Lush Giant Bath Bombs are hugeeeee. I walked passed the display and shock to see how big it is.

These Giant Bath Bombs seems to be a size of a smaller football, the kids type. (The normal bath bombs is about a size of a tennis ball. ) Apparently it's 10cm in heights. Super huge! I felt that it will cause a tsunami in bathroom. haha!

The Body Shop Cream Shadow and Eyeliner

2009-07-25T23:51:00.010+10:00

When Mayrcks was down in Melbourne to visit me, we went to The Body Shop in Bridge Road. The Body Shop there seems to be like a sort of factory/sales outlet and many products are often on discounts. Definitely a bath, body and make up galore!

I was hesitant to spend that day (bad financial economy day) but Mayrcks treated me with an eyeshadow and eyeliner! whee! She definitely make me day :)

The cream eyeshadow was selling for AUD$2! We even tried swatching there and it's pretty and not faulty.

The colour is called Arctic Ivy and it's a pretty, light silvery colour with shimmer. Since it's a cream eyeshadow, I reckon it will be a good eyeshadow base. However, it's not waterproof at all when I rinses off the swatches.

It even come with a doe applicator stick which can be convenient and avoid over squeezing the cream out.

Metallic eyeliner! I had a friend using The Body Shop liquid eyeliner and she say it's pretty awesome. Easy to applied and easy to remove.

It's called Bronze brown and have a pretty metallic finish. And the price! It's only AUD$5! Even if I convert to RM, it is still much cheaper as in Malaysia the eyeliner are sold about RM40++ right?

When I'm having a better financial time, I will re-visit that Body Shop.

Manicare Artiste Professional Stippling Brush

2009-07-23T15:03:00.006+10:00

MAC 187 has always been in my wishlist for the longest time and it's still in the wishlist due to the extremely high price. RM239 and AUD$90 for a brush? mad.

So when I was reading Tine's blog one day and found out about her review on Artiste Professional brush. $17 dollar for a skunk brush? pretty good deal!

Found it in Priceline (local pharmarcy) and check it out a couple of time before I get it. I'm pretty frugal when come to buying make up :P

The brush is pretty soft and I think it's make out of synthetic hair. Wash it and it hardly shed. :) Does not feel scratchy at all too.

The brush of course not as dense as my Everyday Mineral Flat Top brush but it's a stippling brush. Meant to be this way, I think. Where the two different colour of hairs is different level.

I had used it with my MAC MSF and it give a really nice glow without looking OTT. Great buy and it control my lemming for MAC 187 till later.

French Manicure

2009-07-20T20:57:00.005+10:00

My first french manicure.

It feel so pampering. :) and best of all the price is worth it!

I shall learn how to do french manicure.

Johnson's Body Wash

2009-07-13T00:10:00.001+10:00

I always feel that Johnson's is one of the most trustable brand. Have always been using their bodywash back home in Malaysia, so when I come Melbourne to study I still look for Johnson's. And its cheap!

My boyfriend start to buy this extra-rich moisturiser bodywash because it was on discount. It's about $3 a bottle.

I think my shower dramatically change. The bodywash is so thick! It's as thick as lotion but not oily or anything. It feel so good on the skin and because its so rich, often I skip putting on lotion after that.

We often try to stock up when there discount because the original price is about $5.99 a bottle which is rather pricey compare to other Johnson's bodywash.

Can't wait to try this Oat Milk and Almond one!

Eye of the Day

2009-07-11T23:53:00.006+10:00

My eye of the day done by Mayrcks. Generally she is better at putting make up than me especially in the eyeshadow department (which I sucks). However she is too lazy to update this blog! haha.

Eyeshadows that has been used
MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack (which is freaking awesome!)
Kate Line Spicy - Hot pink colour on the top
Revlon ColourStay Quad - all of it.

I shall save for Fluidline!

Eyeko Cream

2009-06-26T01:50:00.006+10:00

Finally I get Eyeko Cream after how many freaking times looking at the website. Actually, I think my boyfriend encouraged me a little, I told him about it and the free shipping(!!!), and he say get it since $AUD is high now. My first make up online purchase.

I had only bought the Eyeko Cream and these are the stuffs that I got.

As Eyeko is famous for giving out free sample when you put in the code. I put in the code from Askmewhats.com as I had forgotten mine. I found mine! It's E1449 for free sample. :) Ok.. I was a little disappointed at first that I got the wipes again. At least they had the lip balm to compensate but I was hoping its Eyeko brand though.

On to the cream, suppose to be a 3 in 1 cream - highlight, moisture and eye cream. Erm.. when I got it, I think I read enough reviews about it not being moisturizing enough. Alright with me, not my main purpose buying it.

Pretty cap and seal which is good but every time I seal it tight, the cream come out from the side of the tub.

It's pretty pretty stuff isn't it? (how else do you explain it?)

The swatches show a clearer idea of how it is. It's creamy, thick, spreadable but don't do it too slow or else it get slightly patchy. My first awesome possum swatch picture! proud :)

I think this cream works very well as an highlighter, will experimental with it more.

Oh before I forget, I got a flyer came with the stuff. It says key in 'Show' for free Eyeko Glitter eyeliner. Good luck people!

Make up trivia.

2009-06-14T01:31:00.008+10:00

Since I'm on a pretty long holiday now and have not much entertainment, I can focus more on blogging here! I have an idea and plan to have some fun. A sort of trivia fun. I will name weird situation and setting and the limited make up I can bring with me. haha.

Situation: I'm stranded on an island with a hot hunk. I can only bring 4 make up/skincare or beauty tools with me.

The things that I will bring with me will be:

1. Vaseline lip balm! - a smooth,soft lips are very important if there is a hot hunk present ;)

2. My trusty Shu eyeliner - to have a continuous sexy lined eyes & it's waterproof!

3. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer - just because I think I can't live with out it and to remain looking fresh without eyebags whole day.

4. Biotherm Aquasource - smooth and soft skin, very important too!

I'm not sure if any blogs did this before but feel free to respond and tell me bout yours!

ps, yeah... I'm too bored and have to create something to entertained myself. haha

MAC Petticoat MSF

2009-06-13T18:22:00.007+10:00

I finally got MAC Petticoat!!!! *scream and jump around*
that's how I feel when I got it from Fifi! Nothing feel that good when you get something from your make up wishlist.. haha

When I got it, I can't stop looking at it and caressing the case... I have been looking for it when it was re-launch again but unfortunately none in KL.

It's so beautifullllll, look at the veins and everything!

without flash and toilet lights. Look! it don't even look washout without flash.

I tried to swatch it but my camera and room lightning can't capture it nice enough.. sigh.. I hope the veining doesn't go off easily. My heart will ache..

I can't resist and tried comparing with my MAC Redhead MSF

With flash, Redhead looks more shimmery compare to Petticoat. hehe thats good, means I won't look like a discoball at all! Petticoat also looks more pinkish compare to Redhead which is leaning towards more golden/coral side?

without flash

happy sigh. first time I crossed out something from my wishlist.. hehe whee

Urban Decay Eyeshadow

2009-06-05T03:17:00.006+10:00

Woohoo, finally I have my little finger on Urban Decay stuff, thanks to Fifi!

Both of it are matte eyeshadow. Chronic and Narcotic

Pretty cute packaging they have and its so nice that now I have more colour eyeshadow! I always buy those boring tones one like taupe, cream colour type.

As for Chronic, its a rather bright matte green eyeshadow, however when I look closely, I felt they were a slight glitter. like very fine ones. I like this colour a lot :)

As for Narcotic, its a bright matte blue. A colour that I sorta fear... never really know how to use bright eyeshadow! I always envied those beauty blogger who can use them so well. Don't worry, now I have my chance haha.

The swatches, its quite pigmented and also very smooth. All hail smooth eyeshadow! easier for blending I believe. :)

I haven't write any product review for so long, I feel that I'm a little rusty and uncertain what to write. haha

Parcel

2009-05-26T00:56:00.005+10:00

Don't give up on me yet people! I will update soon!!!

Today is a happy happy day!

I received a parcel from Fifi! Thank yooooou!

Whee... and guess what I got!

Petticoat! *I almost faint when i see it*

Urban Decay!

I can now die and go to heaven. hehe!

Can't blog longer today! Exam and assignment tomorrow!

ps, I end every sentence in !!

mascara

2009-05-09T18:22:00.005+10:00

Update: I want to get this NARS Modern Love Palette! It's so pretty. :(

Poor blog.. I think I have been abandoning it..

No money, no make up hence abandon blog.

I'm saving for the next mascara.. yes I don't think I can have enough mascara.

I'm quite undecided which should I get...

1. Max Factor 2000 calories mascara.

I heard of this mascara way before I came to Melbourne. It's quite pricey too.

2. Covergirl Volume Exact Lash

Another one which tempted me to buy so many time. Slightly cheaper than Max Factor but not much review on it.

Which should I get?

Eyeko

2009-04-20T17:45:00.006+10:00

I have read quite a bit of Eyeko before in beauty blogs especially about the Eyeko Glow cream.

So I think once upon long time I got itchy finger and went to sign up in Eyeko website for an account and I become Eyeko ambassador. Nothing much happen beside some e-mail update.

Until few days ago! I received a hot pink mail. I thought it would be from one of my friend.. ahaha. They have a rude girl sticker at the back.

Suprise suprise from Eyeko. 2 sample of cleansing wipes. Better than nothing. Haha. I would love to sample the Eyeko Glow cream though.. haha

At least it make me temporary happy now before I can buy any make up.

Gifts.

2009-04-06T01:32:00.006+10:00

I was given a set of MAC brushes last November and I have a habit that I don't open them up and put them to best use. I think I rather not dirty them. One day, when I am ready; I might use them.

You can say, I am probably the most not up to date with make up collection. I am the type of person - I see, I like, I can pull off ka ching I buy. I hardly buy expensive make up. But I always ended with a few of them. ;) (thank you warehouse sale!)

Tonight, I want to share this. It will probably take me some time to start using this but I will try.

This is a gift from a colleague that I sort of helped her out for 2 months. She gave me this and this got me excited.

Hello Kitty, My name is Too Dolly.

Hello colours, welcome to new home. ;)

Like I say, I am not ready to use them yet. Hence, no swatches. :(

1,2,3 skincare

2009-04-05T22:53:00.008+10:00

I went wandering in David Jones, Myer and Priceline in the city today.

David Jones and Myer are full of the make up I want - NARS, Becca, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Too Faced and many more. While Priceline have more affordable stuff like Covergirl, Max Factor, Bourjois, Rimmel and Ecotools! I think I have extre resistance today since I didn't but anything.

No make up to talk about, we shall talk bout skin care. Not like I know jack shit about it haha.

I have been using this 3 for a while. I know I am already breaking the skincare rule, using one same range. I uses different range and brand.

I actually start using the whole Clinelle range first recommended by my dermatologist before. I find the cleanser is the best among the 3, so that the only thing I keep using. It cleanse well and lather nicely.

After Clinelle reformulate, I change the toner to The Body Shop and I love the Tea Tree Oil Toner which I wrote about here before. However the weather in Melbourne is a little dry, now I'm worried it might be too drying for me. I feel that if give me less pimple.

I started with Clinelle moisturiser which is not moisturising enough for my skin leaving my cheek and lip area really dry. So I tried Biotherm and damn it is good! Not oily and yet moisturising enough. It absorb quickly too and don't leave any filmy oily-ness. However its a lil pricy...

Thats it I guess, I still have pimple, white heads and black heads. How do people get flawless skin?

MAC Technakohl Earthline

2009-03-26T17:52:00.004+11:00

I don't really spend much on MAC eventhough they look extremely lovely, the price in Malaysia is too expensive... However I got my first MAC technakohl from the Estee Lauder Warehouse two years back. A pretty good warehouse sales I would say.

When I first got this liner, I like it. Easy to apply, the colour comes out easily. Don't smudge and long lasting.

But I grow to love it more when I know how natural it looks and especially when people tell me I look good with it. A couple of times :):)

So yeah, I finished the first one and repurchase. One of the first few make up that I actually repurchase. The original price is about RM62. Well worth it as I love the colour and its quite natural looking. Definetely a good investment.

NYX and LA Colors

2009-03-15T23:02:00.010+11:00

Good news! I finally found NYX in Melbourne! wooohoo.. but the selection was rather small. I was at Smith St. today trying to look for a pair of running shoes. Smith St. is quite famous for sports factory outlet store. Towards the end of the street, I saw a store with sign 70% off on brand cosmetics. (edit: found my receipt! the store is called Cos Cut Cosmetics)

I went in, and... damn it was pretty good. A lot of different brand at quite cheap price. Brands like Maybelline, L'oreal, Covergirl, LA Colors, Max Factor, NYX and some brands I have never heard off. A lot of beauty tools too. I walked around and end up with this two.

I have limited time and budget in there. :(

The range for NYX was rather limited, mostly NYX ranges are lipliners (a lot of colours!), a few eyeliners, some lip gloss and only one trio eyeshadow. Didn't get it, the colours was too pastel for me. :(

I think I was too excited and came home and swatches them. I love eyeliners, so I got this and try. The pencil is pretty smooth and colour came out rather easy. I just hope it doesn't smudge easily. I shall test it out tomorrow. (tested: and not bad the colour remains after 10 hours, no smudges unless I rub it hard.)

I love the dark blue-ness. Remind me of my this Shu eyeliner. Best of all this eyeliner is only $4.00! whee.

I read about LA Colors from Connie. The palattes cost $5.95 and I check Cherryculture, the price wasn't marked up!

This palattes is called Fabulous, not bad in my opinion.

The last 3 swatches seems to be more pigmented while the first two are better for highlighting. The middle colour look plum-ish but turned out more brown. weird. I haven't try wearing it though. Will try it out soon. I hope its not too hard to blend them.

I think I have to visit that store again.

Update: Round 2 NYX eyeliner testing, smudge like hell when I line my bottom lid. sigh. :(

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Toner

2009-03-13T01:08:00.005+11:00

I don't think I ever had great skin. Especially during stressful occasion, tiny pimples keep coming.

I was previously using Clinelle Facial Toner. They change their formula and honestly I don't really like their new formula. I don't know its me or what, the toner feel sticky after I applied compare to the old formula. I also felt that I start breaking out more.

So I went hunting. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil range caught my eyes.

and this toner was awesome! Ok I know its scary green colour.

It stings a little when I first use it, now it don't and I think my skin is much better or so I hope. It give me the refreshing feel and yes, it does have a lil tea tree oil smell. Doesn't really bother me. The price was alright too since Clinelle toner is about RM30 bucks too.

Now if only there are ways to get rid of white heads...

Brushes

2009-03-10T22:09:00.011+11:00

I have been good and haven't bought any make up for the last few weeks. Haha. Sad. I am so tempted to get something.

Since I have nothing to blog about, I blog about my brushes. Hard earned collection.

From l to r: Shu Uemura Holiday collection (the first 4 brushes), Shu Uemura 2R eyeliner brush, Ecotool Foundation brush, Everyday Mineral flat top brush, The Body Shop Face Kabuki

I have got a set of brush from Shu Uemura. Its like a holiday collection for 2007 I think. The size of the brushes are slightly smaller than their usual ones but not those miniature type.

Just a quick picture to show you the size. I like it that the handle its not too long or bulky.

I got this set less than RM200 I think. It was around RM180-RM190. The brushes quality are pretty good and decent I think. Blushers,concealer, eyeshadow and eyeliner/lip brushes. Pretty good price for that I reckon. I like the case it come with too. Black and quite sleek but can collect a little bit of dust.

However after one year plus I felt like the blusher brush is not as soft and the colour bleed a lot! Super a lot. The brush hair is made out of goat. I still use it for blusher. Meanwhile the concealer is made out of nylon while both eyeshadow and eyeliner brush are made out of sable.I think my favourite brush among that 4 is the concealer and eyeshadow. The eyeliner brush are pretty good too.

As an eyeliner freak, I bought the Shu 2R too. I heard it was pretty good and damn it is. I tried it with my cream eyeshadow as eyeliner and it work pretty well. Worth every dollar.

I can't really remember the price, I think it is about RM60 but I got a discount that time. :):)

The next one is from Ecotools Foundation brush. I have always wanted their brush so much. Sigh. I have no idea why last week I saw the powder brush and I did not get it. This foundation brush I got it last year.

Honestly I think its quite good even thought I don't use much liquid foundation. The brush hair is synthetic and seems quite silky. The brush is not too soft but not hard either so when you applied liquid foundation its easy to handle. Smoother application too! I should utilise this brush more.

Another 2 more of my favourite brush, and oddly it is both for mineral makeup which I actually hardly use. One is Everyday Mineral and the other is The Body Shop.

Both are equally good, the brush hair are thick and dense. Oh and it is suppppppper soft.

The price are pretty decent too especially for Everyday Mineral Flat top which is around RM30 plus. I usually uses the flat top for powder foundation. Give my a good coverage. Meanwhile for The Body Shop I uses it for blusher and bronzer. I know its for fondation but we can mix around don't we ;)

Ok.. I shall save money and get more eyeshadow and powder brush.. haha.

Vaseline Lip Balm

2009-03-02T23:28:00.006+11:00

I think I am not a lip gloss person. How odd... I love how it looks but I seldom buy it. Haha.

I uses Vaseline Lip Balm the most. My ultimate favourite for lip.

I think partly I grow to love it because its sort of the first 'make up' thing I ever got from my mum.

I read before how petroleum jelly dries your lips up if you use too much but that doesn't seems to be happening to me.

And part of it to love, it does not leave those whitish mark at the corner of lips.

I think I go through countless tube of it... this latest one is my 5th or 6th or maybe more. I wrote about it here before how much I love it haha

They change the packaging again. 3rd time or maybe they shipped it from different place.

This time from Korea I suspect. It look pretty similar to the first one I ever use which is ages ago, with the yellowish colour packaging. Texture wise I felt its the same. The size however the yellowish one is slightly smaller. I forget how much and I don't have the old one with me to compare.

Did I also mention how I love the smell of it. haha. Weird me.

MAC Redhead MSF

2009-02-25T02:41:00.006+11:00

I have been wanting this MSF since I saw the promo pics online from Temptalia. Most of the time, I just look at those promo pics, lemming it and then forget about it because its too expensive.

picture credit to temptalia.com

When I saw this launch in Malaysia, I can't resist trying and get it. At first I can't decide between the Redhead MSF or Blonde MSF. After some advice from the MA, Bf and self. I finally get the Redhead, after all that what I wanted at first. I know I am no where near a redhead. haha

I have always wanted an MSF but never justified myself to buy it. Since this have 4 different colour on it. Why not.

With flash (the colour is slightly darker in real life)

MSF or Mineralize Skinfinish is quite an interesting thing. Slightly frosty or shimmery. Ok my explanation sucks, here goes from MAC, 'A luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. Smoothes on: adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks and brows, or an overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face.' I personally won't use it for an all over face colour too shimmery I think.. More like a dash here and there or as a blusher or cheek highlight.

Here the swatch of colour from the lightest goldish colour to the slight peachy pink.

Meanwhile this is the swatch when I rub all the colour together. My camera sucks.

To my suprise, the MSF is pretty huge.

I would love to have more MSF but I doubt I could finish this one anytime soon.

Mascaras

2009-02-20T18:52:00.008+11:00

I have never really see myself as a mascara fanatic, usually eyeliner and blushers are my favourite. However, when I have started working last year, I notice I can't live without mascaras.

It seriously make my eyes bigger and noticeable lashes... thats what mascaras for right? haha

When I was packing a few week ago, I notices I have quite a number of mascaras. Eek..

l to r: Maybelline XXL (waterproof), Maybelline XXL (non-waterproof), Maybelline Volume Express Hypercurl, Majolica Majorca Lash Beautifying, Lancome Virtouse, Diorshow Iconic, Lancome L'extreme.

Before you think I am a nutso, I have only bought 3 of it, Maybelline XXL (waterproof), Volume Express and Majolica. The rest was given by people or something. I'm not complaning though, keep them coming haha.

Here some down low of my thoughts,

Maybelline XXL - one of the best for affordable mascaras around RM20 ++. It does it job. I love XXL for more daily lashes. Most of the time, I skipped the white fiber.

Maybelline Volume Express - I love it for more volume and slightly more dramatic. does not smudge but can be clumpy if not applied properly.

Majolica Majorca - Extremely black and glossy. If applied properly, lash can be quite dramatic and nice but if not it can be extremely clumpy. Main turnoff - extremely hard to remove. Interesting comb brush instead of the usual brush.

Virtouse - So so for me, not much effect, good for daily use as its non waterproof, easy removal.

Diorshow Iconic - I love this. Have quite a dramatic volume and slight curl effect but if not applied properly can wear down the lashes a little. Easy removal. But I don't think I will pay the price. Nice tube packaging.

L'extreme - leave not much impression, I usually prefer volume over length. So so only.

Conclusion, I love mascaras. The next two mascaras I would love to try is Max Factor 2000 calories and MAC Plushlash.

Lanolin Cream

2009-02-19T18:14:00.005+11:00

I think I am starting to get addicted blogging about makeup as much as stalking makeup blog. It's fun ranting and trying and taking picture of it especially I have more time now, waiting for school to start.

I was buying some supplies for home yesterday and saw this.

Lanolin Cream, once my bf's mum give my one tub and it was pretty good for my skin. My skin especially my leg area is horrible, I got rashes and eczema like nobody business. I have also tried many time of lotion and my skin will itch or I will feel oily and uneasy. I have finished the first tub and never get to buy one since Lanolin cream is mostly available in Aussie or NZ.

Since its only $2.90 aud, I can help but get it and try it out. The tub is extremely huge too!

The cream is very thick in general. However it its not too oily, which is good since I hate putting on cream and feel like I have slather some butter on myself. Have been using it for two night so far, will see if its any good as the old one.

Beside that, now I'm in Melbourne, I could finally try out Covergirl and Max Factor. Woohoo. Time to eat less and save money.

Dior Duo Eyeshadow

2009-02-18T02:16:00.007+11:00

I have gotten this long time ago but never got around writing bout it. One of my favourite eyeshadow and guess what I didn't pay for it :) Got it from an event.

without flash
It has two colours, one shiny silvery white and one matte brownish. Excellent for smoky eyeshadow. This eyeshadow duo actually get me started on smoky eyeshadow. It is honestly quite fool proof with these two colours. The eyeshadow are pretty pigmented too.

I usually love to apply the silvery colour all over the crease and used the matte colour for the corner of the eye. Easy for a beginner like me. haha.

I think the price for this duo was about RM180-RM190. Not too sure about it. If I have the money, I won't mind spending on it. The texture was so buttery soft and my nail actually chip it slightly. Easy to blend too and long lasting. Wore it for 10 hours and still have it there especially if I use Benefit tattle tale as a base.

I love it and one day when I am rich and everything I would get more of Dior eyeshadow.

V'day present

2009-02-17T03:30:00.004+11:00

My Valentine's day present for myself

MAC Redhead MSF and MAC Technakohl Earthline (it is the bomb, this is my second stick.)

Review later. :)

Lumiere Black Cherry

2009-02-15T21:20:00.000+11:00

I think this is my new favourite eye shadow.

I got this from my Lovingminerals.com haul and its totally awesome. My first time with mineral eyeshadow.

The colour is dark purple which almost black with shimmer.

Here a swatch of the loose eyeshadow

The colour is wonderful for eyeliner and eyeshadow. However when applied as eyeliner, it does not seems to be long lasting. Perhaps because of its loose pigment.

Here a picture of it as eyeliner, please do not mind my greasy hair.. I think its because my hair is still wet and its microshot :P

I have also used it as an eyeshadow and its nice :) I assured you it look wonderful for smoky eyes if you don't want just the usual black. :)

Here a poor attempt picture of it, I used Benefit Stilettos as base, make it more lasting and stand out more. The picture sucks though. The colour is nicer real life.

I think I must try more of this. hehe.

Daiso Fake Nail

2009-02-13T03:52:00.004+11:00

I tell you, Daiso is an addictive place. I was alone and wandering in Daiso aisle.

This caught my eyes.

French manicure with little pearls and crystals.

Alright I have always been curious about fake nails... so pretty yet plastic-ky looking.

Since its only 5 bucks I grab one back home to try.

Verdict?
Pretty pretty nails but doing every little things become harder. Maybe I am not used to having long fingernail. The speed of my typing and putting make up decreased. Oh ya, its quite easy to apply too.

End up I only put for my left hand and it did not last for 3 days. I don't think I can stand having too long nails. However when I become a 'tai tai' next time I shall put this on. So pretty. sigh.

Elianto Brush Cleaner

2009-01-29T17:29:00.007+11:00

I have always been stingy and wash my brushes with water and shampoo. After stalking so much make up blog, I heard/read its better to used a proper brush cleaner.

So in the end, I bought Elianto Brush Cleaner, one of the most affordable brand.

If I remember correctly its about RM15 buck plus plus after 10% discount.

The size is substantial for the amount I pay for I guess. I have got it for almost 2 months, honestly after a few use I am rather disappointed.

I tried it out with some of brushes

Eyeshadow, concealer, kabuki and blusher brushes. Clearly you can see my concealer brush still have a whole lot of concealer junk stuck to it. After soaking and swirling for quite long.

Meanwhile, I do not know it its the brush cleaner or my brush, the liquid from light blue turn to dark bluish black. My blusher brush dye came off so badly. sigh. It could be brush to blame though.

In fact for my kabuki, its softer when I wash with shampoo and water than this brush cleaner. However for eyeshadow and eyeliner brush its ok, so I'm using it for those two.

I think I will just stick to water and shampoo for now. save money too.

Ellefar Make Eyeshadows.

2009-01-26T18:05:00.005+11:00

I did some testing but my photography skill failed me tremendously and I picked the best out of it.

It's my first time reviewing with urm...my eyes.

I am reviewing an eyeshadow I got from Daiso @ RM5 named Ellefar Make. The sidelines today is kate eyeshadow & mac eyeliner.

(L-R: Kate line spicy, mac eyeliner & ellefar make eyeshadow from Daiso)

(L-R: Invisible white, orangy red, grayis purple and maroon)
Tgese are the swatches from Daiso eyeshadow. It looks a bit like the L'Oreal eyeshadow; probably imitation or similiarity to it. They are very matte. No shinny glittering. and the lightest color which is white is probably the most camoufludge to my skin. You can't barely see it here. Then it has the orangy red, grayish purple and maroon.

(The colors are actually darker in real life.Sorry for lousy pictures. Sorry for the lousy skin as well, didn't put on foundation as I was bored on CNY eve and thought of playing it spontaneously.)
I used all four color of Ellefar make and only gold from Kate line spicy to high light the eye lid and the bottom light to create a fresher eye.Maroon was placed at the inner eye lid, followed by orangy red with some touch of gold and the upper bone was grayish purple. And the Mac gel eyeliner to highlight the eye and half of the bottom lid.

The Ellefar make has its pros and cons. The color came out nice, easy application, no small little powder falls on the cheek when application and it's very matte. I wore it to work the other day and it lasts almost the whole day without retouching. Plus, I have oily face. For an oily face, this eyeshadow is good for the price you pay. The colors are strong except for the almost invisible white which you can use for a little highlight. It's pretty good for a RM5 product.

*The eyeliner and Kate eyeshadow, I will review later. hehe

So this is the first review from me. Hope you ...enjoy it. :)

Lumiere Cashmere foundation and Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush.

2009-01-26T00:22:00.008+11:00

I can't resist the mineral make up I bought yesterday from Loving Minerals and quickly tried it on today.

Top L to R : Lumiere Cashmere Foundation (Light Medium Golden), Everyday Minerals (Fairly Light), Lumiere Pure Silk Finishing Powder (Sand)
Bottom L to R: Lumiere Blushers (Fresh Roses), Lumiere All Over Colour (Soft Radiance), Lumiere Flawless Finish Powder (Sheer)

Since I'm only going out of the house to do some last min CNY shopping, I only try out Lumiere Cashmere Foundation, light medium golden.

Tried swatching the colour, its very smooth and soft powdery form. Honestly I have no idea how much is enough for my face.

I use this amount for half my face and add almost same amount for the other half.

Is that amount enough? Someone help me!

Verdict: Very lightweight and very light coverage but I'm wondering is it because I did not apply enough. I like the fact that I do not feel like I have heavy make up on but it does not cover flaws like my liquid foundation. Its good for everyday use though for me since I hate having foundation on because of the 'heaviness'.

Maybe I should have include the finishing powder too, better coverage perhaps. Alright, I will try it out and update.

On to the Everyday Minerals flat top brush,

this brush is like a little heaven. So so so soft, its even softer than my Body Shop Kabuki brush.

Look how dense. :)

I love the brush and applying the mineral foundation with it is a breeze. However it shed a little, sob. A few strand was sticking out when I was testing it out. Lets hope it won't shed more.

I can't wait to try the rest of the mineral make up! Feel like a small kid :) :) :)

Weekend Haul - Mineral Make Up

2009-01-24T23:33:00.010+11:00

Finally I dips my little toes into Mineral Make Up after looking at it for so long.

Truth to be told, my interest is spark of by Everyday Mineral Flat Top brush first.
Soft and dense. How can someone not be interested.

I found out about Loving Minerals after surfing around about make up and had also been reading bout it in some local blogs.

Put my orders, and here it is! :)

Actually I have only ordered the Everyday Minerals flat top brush and a Lumiere deep liner (black cherry). I got a sample of Sand, finishing powder from the purchase too. yay!

Upon COD, Lynn from Loving Minerals brought some sample size along with her,Yay for me!
As I always wanted to try this sample size set (3 foundations, 1 finishing and 1 blusher) but never want to get it because I am clueless about my foundation shade. I get to choose it on the spot and purchase.

Thanks for the colour recommendation, Lynn!

There, there. I can wait to try them out. :)
I will blog more about it once I try.

Oh and I got a new make up remover. The Simple one is utterly useless... sorry to say.

Lets hope this is better

Daiso Haul 2

2009-01-21T00:11:00.004+11:00

Its hard to resist going into Daiso everytime I'm in Curve now. Its so tempting to oogle at the rows of five bucks make up and discover some wonders :)

These the stuff that I bought home with me, a make up corrector pen/stick and a eyeshadow/liner pencil.

This make up corrector is also recommended by May and it is totally awesome! If you have smear any mascara or eyeliner out of place, simply draw it over with this stick annnnnddd voila, wipe with tissue and gone :) no smear nothing!

The tip feels like a marker but a little bit more waxy. Awesome my sizzle. Get it!

I took another 10 min to choose this, wondering between this eyeshadow stick or some random eyeliner or mascara. I guess the colour attracted me, the pretty deep forest green.

Look, nice green ain't it?

The colour on the pencil looks deep, however the swatch seems brighter and not so deep toned and also look much blue-er. This swatch does not show its exact colour. :( I hate my camera.
The texture is pretty smooth and easy application, however it is 0% smudge proof. I can rub it off with my finger... sigh. wasted.

All in all, interesting buy. I'm using it as a thick eyeliner line with little smudges and lined with another green eyeliner on top.

Simple Eye Make-up Remover

2009-01-13T02:08:00.005+11:00

Never underestimate how important an eye make-up remover is. Never.

My L'Oreal De-maq Expert Cashmere Milk lasted me quite a while. Note to self, cream type eye make-up remover last like 2-3 time longer than liquid.

I was left desprate one evening and intended to buy Maybelline Eye and Lip remover. However none in the pharmacy and I bought Simple Eye Make-up Remover instead. Partly because it was cheap, RM19.90 with discount to RM15.90

It claims to be 100% oil free. What the heck, good to know that since ALL make-up remover is oily.

So I put it to test.

top to bottom - Majorlica Majorca Mascara, Shu Drawing Pencil, Shu Liquid Eyeliner, Lancome Virtouse

Yeah, purposely tried it with the most 'hard to remove' mascara, to the least one, Lancome which can be washed off with warm water.

I soaked a cotton pad. Just swipe it over my hand, nothing happen. Proceed to rub a little.

After about 10-15 sec off rub. Damn. MM Mascara didn't seems to budge at all.

Then I tried pouring an ample amount right onto my hand. (testing what! haha)

Still there. gosh.

E.L.F and Daiso

2009-01-11T18:16:00.012+11:00

My venture to cheaper make up :)

Honestly, I would say I am a little afraid at first but everything turn out so far so good :)

E.L.F. is known for its USD$1 products and Daiso just recently open in Malaysia sells everything for RM5. When I say everything, it's literally everthing! Make-up, stationary, this and that and this.

I got this E.L.F all over colour stick from Singapore SASA. If I am not wrong its around SGD$5. Defintely not as cheap when you convert it to MYR but I guess its alright since I sucks at buying stuff online.

The colour is called Persimmon, tried swatching but camera can't take no shit.

I like this stick. It give a light subtle shimmer to cheekbone. I love to put on top of my cheekbone after some blushers. Seems to be working not bad. Always wanted some highlighting stick that sort. This is a good and cheap alternative. A minor rant would be when I accidentally put a little too much, I feel a little waxy... but its RM10 bucks anyway, no complains!

Moving on to Daiso, after reading it so much online and friends raving bout it, of course I must go. And it was so nice meeting Beetrice (Beetrice Reviews) and Connie (Skindeco) and Tine (Beautyholic Anonymous) and the rest of the beauty bloggers :) after stalking their blog so much..

I have gotten the blusher and the dial concealer which May loves so much. RM1o bucks for both of it. Damn. I like the price. :)

I have tried the concealer, it stings my under eyes abit.. eek or perhaps it could be because the skin there is so freaking dry. Also it could be not the concealer fault since even when I apply moisturizer, it stings too. sigh. I can't bring myself to buy eyecream. Freaking RM40-RM50 for such a small tube. I think I must try the concealer a couple more time to mention my like and dislike. My Bobbi concealer is hitting the pan at one of the corner. Heartache!

As for the blusher, Connie from Skindeco recommended it to me. Thank you!

It does look a little similar to MAC Dainty, maybe a little more matte.

I try comparing it with my others blusher. The blusher is named Beige, however I felt it look nowhere near beige. Its like a sweet light pink/coral (oh man I sucks at describing the colours.) I like the colour. yay! hehe

I tried swatching of MAC Dainty (bottom) and Daiso Beige Blush(top). I have tried it and it gives a nice flush. Slight more pigmented than MAC Dainty but less frosty. Still have a very light shimmer on it. Whee another blusher for me. :)

Happy 2009!

2009-01-11T03:00:00.002+11:00

Happy 2009 everybody!

Things I would love to try this year :)
(in another word, wishlist...)

1. NARS Orgasm and Deep Throat (it's NAR, nuff said.)

2. MAC Petticoat (I heard it suppose to be release again, but no where to be found in Malaysia!)

3. MAC Plushlash (I am turning into a mascara addict)

4. Rimmel Glam Eye Mascara (yeap....)

5. Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner (I love eyeliner. read LOVE)

6. MAC Fluidlines (read LOVE LOVE eyeliner)

7. MAC 187 (it like the brush of the brush!)

8. Etude House duo skunk brush (closest to MAC 187 and a quarter of the price.)

9. Clinique Take The Day Off eye make remover (I have tried once, and I wonder how can eye make up come off so easily)

10. Liquid foundation that make me look flawless (I am eyeing on Bobbi but.. sigh)

There are more but I just shortlist to this first. :)

pictures courtersy of sephora.com, ebay and maccosmetics.

Bourjois Blusher

2008-12-29T15:04:00.005+11:00

Current blusher that I am utilising quite a lot, Bourjois Blush Rose De Jaspe.

It came with a cute brush, which I put aside.

It a quite sweet pink plumish colour with some gold shimmer. lovely. :)

I also have tried comparing with my other powder blusher.

It quite a unique colour and it is also slightly scented. It took me so long to realise what the scent is. It smelled like sweet plum. haha.

This blusher is quite worthy of my $20 aud. However my only complain would be this is the smallest blusher pot/pan I ever have.

Haul

2008-12-11T02:20:00.004+11:00

I actually no idea why haul is called haul. But here my recent stuff that I've gotten.

Whee :)

1. Elianto Brush Cleaner

2. Bourjois Blusher
3. Ecotools

4. Kate Eyeshadow

5. Dior Eyeshadow

6. Iconic Dior Mascara

I am a happy happy girl. :)

Bf helps me to get Ecotools and Bourjois from Aussieland. I was hoping to get the powder brush but it was sold out sigh. Meanwhile for Dior stuff, obviously I can't afford it. Got those from one event. Whee.

Blushers

2008-11-17T03:57:00.027+11:00

I really have no idea how some beauty blogs can be so dedicated and post up stuff everyday. Lucky they do or else I will have to read miserable finance news or something.

I think I was bored one night and start swatching all my blushers on my arm.

1. The Body Shop Sun Lustre Bronzer
2. Lancome Blush Subtil (casing faded, no colour name)
3. MAC Dainty
4. TBS Sun Lustre Bronzer + Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge Pale Pink
(I got to mixed a new colour :) )
5. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink
6. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pink Truffle

I think the blusher that I currently utilise the most is MAC Dainty.

Easy application and the colour pay off won't be too heavy for work. As you can see from the swatches its actually one of the lightest. I love it as it give me this sort of glowing, natural no blusher look without looking pale. (or so I think it does... )

My second runner up would be between Lancom Subtil or BB Pot Rouge.

This two pic I capture is closes to its real colour.

I love Lancome one for its easy application as its powder form but it can be quite pigmented but if applied lightly, its look pretty peachy and pretty.

For BB, don't let the pink scares you! ok it scares me a bit too last time. Since its a cream blush, the application take a little more time as it need to be blended. Once blend nicely, I look like I have a healthy dewy flush, none of the other blushers give me that type of dewy look. One pot goes a long way too...

Before blending

After

See not too bad right? :)

Blusher can be such a pretty thing sometimes.

I can't wait to lay my grubby little fingers on NARS Blushers. Oh and Majorlica Majorca and and and MAC Petticoat! ok and the list goes on.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner

2008-11-07T03:00:00.008+11:00

I finally has something from Benefit! After years of oogling their cute and quirky website, collecting their mini catalog (super cute one), I finally bought something from them. Thanks a lot to May as she went to their first warehouse sales and help me to buy it. May Rocks (see I so nice haha.)

If you notice, eyeshadow is not my main obsession, usually I spend my money on eyeliner and eyeliner and eyeliner. Occasionally on blushers. haha. So this is one of the first time I spend quite a bit on eyeshadow and its cream none the less. woohoo.

May helped me to get Tattle tale and Stiletto.

For Tattle tale, its a pale cream goldish colour. My favourite type of colours, barely there one. haha easy and foolproof thats why I like this type of colour.

Meanwhile for Stiletto, its a little more exciting colour. According to the website it is known as aubergine which is known in BM as terung. haha! The colour is much more prettier than a terung ok? It sort of purplish brown with hint of shimmer.

As for the texture, its like cream in a sort of thick and hard way. Using your finger helps to get the colour easier, I guess its because of the heat. Very pigmented too, with two swipe the colour shows.

I haven't really try them out, always rushing to work no time to try blending eyeshadow and all thats why. I will try it this weekend when I go rock the town.

Woohoo to Benefit and May faster post your reviews on Benefit toooooooo.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

2008-10-27T14:33:00.000+11:00

I have been wanting this since the longest time, but it's concealer and it's not as exciting as eyeliner or blusher. So I have been pushing it at the back of my wishlist. Sigh.

Yesterday I control myself not to be wow by eyeshadow, eyeliner and blusher and bought this!

and Yay its good! Much much better than my old concealer, as it's a little drying. It's creamier and easy to apply. I don't need to tugged my under eyes so much to spread the concealer. Whee.

The colour I used is Sand. Very close to my skin colour.

Look at the interesting texture... like a film of oil hahaha

One concern for me though, since this concealer is so much creamier, it make me wonder will it smudge my eyeliner and mascara easier.. I will wear and give it a trial run few more time before I conclude this the best. but it's pretty awesome, look...

I'm still contemplating should I include my pre-concealer picture. It might scare people away. Once my little brother ask me, what the black black thing under my eyes and I realise later he meant my eyebags... sigh.

and there goes my RM80.

Rimmel in Malaysia

2008-10-23T01:58:00.000+11:00

The first time I saw this brand was in Melbourne and read a great review about it's eyeliner in Karen's blog.

So I was pretty excited when it came to Malaysia and is wasn't really expensive. The pricing range is like from RM13.90 onwards. Of course I will buy something.

These are two eyeliners that I bought, Extreme Defination (Two-Tone Eye Definer) and Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer.

It's green and purple! Nice :)

For the two-tone eye definer, it's easy to use and apply smoothly. However it's not very long lasting. Wore it to work and it smeared and faded slightly. The lighter part is very useful, help to create a fresher looks when you underline the bottom.

My failed attempted to capture it. *How does anyone get to capture such clear picture of their eye makeup!*

Meanwhile for this purple beauty, it can last... and last. Wore it to club and it did not smear. Yay! and it is cheaper, around RM15.90 after 10% discount. Oh ya, it remind me of MAC technakohl which I loved so much.. almost on par.. almost. so close. haha

Worth buying. :) I have a feeling I might buy more of Rimmel.

The Body Shop Sun Lustre Bronzer

2008-10-14T00:31:00.001+11:00

My very first bronzer
The Body Shop Sun Lustre Bronzer
It's so pretty that my heart ache when I brush across it with my brush.

Thanks to a kind friend I got this for 50% and brand new. So did May too. (faster post up your review on it!... haha)

I haven't really use it properly. Had only tried to sweep it on top of my blusher. Give a nice shimmer and slightly darker tone. Sometimes I think I enjoy the process of buying the make-up more than using it. sigh. Will update more when I used more of it.

Also I bought the new kabuki brush from Body Shop. This brush is like godsend... it beat my Shu Uemura blusher brush. All I feel like doing when I first got it was rubbing it against my skin. It is that soft and smooth. It's really worthy considering how expensive brushes can be. This only retail at RM78.. I think.

This is a must buy.. I'm tempted to get another one... crazy.

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner

2008-10-06T01:34:00.000+11:00

My first review on this blog. Not sure if anyone is reading this. Say hi ok if you're reading my review.

Disclaimer: I am not pro but I tested out this product. It's just my POV.

I bought Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Black from Guardian, few days ago.
It says here "Ophthalmologic Tested-Long Wearing"
Ophthalmologic in short called " the science of eyes" (according to Wikipedia.org)

I consulted the sales girl asking if it's smudged proof. She was a very honest and said No... The reason I bought it is because 1) the sales girl is honest 2) It's on discount 3) I need a new crayon eyeliner.

For best result, I tested it on without any eyeshadow or mascara.

I must say, it's easy to put it on. Not much of hard energy needed compared to other crayon eyeliner. Plus, it's smooth while putting it on.

Tips: If you want to have a bigger or brighter eyes, eyeliner can achieve that by drawing half instead of full on your bottom eye.

Right after a few minutes (I swear on my eyes), it smeared. The picture might not be clear because I suck at taking make up pics. But you notice at the end of my eyes, there's a lighter black. Yes, that's the smudge.

I know I shouldn't have purchase it despite a warning from the sales person.

So I would not use this for a long day because it's not suitable for long wearing; even if you'll stay air conditioned all day.

ok... I succumb to Majolica Marjoca.

I mean after all they travel so far here to supply us all the beautiful stuff. haha

However, my budget only allows me to grab their mascara.

I bought the Lash Beautifying Mascara.. which I presume is Lash Expander..

and... it did a not bad job. not wow yet. sadly.

a little clumpy actually.

maybe I'm not used to the comb instead of brush.

see.. I'm not willing to be let down yet.

Rimmel is here too in Malaysia. Someone trying to make us girls broke. damn it. haha

Brought something from Rimmel too. Will update soon.

Favourites

2008-09-09T23:08:00.000+10:00

I guess I shall start with my favourites. So far there only 4 that can earn my ultimate favourite.

First would be my this favourite eyeliner, from Shu Uemura.

It would hardly smudge and wear off even after 10 hours of work and walking around in the humid weather especially like M'sia. It's a little pricey... but worth it at the end of the day (like seriously at the end of the day using it). The colours! Metallic Blue.. no worries it's not bright blue that scares you and me sometimes.. in fact its more of a midnight sort of blue. oh baby.. yeah those naughty midnight type. *wink wink*
and oh ya.. eyeliner is my favourite make-up product!! haha

Now... this, we go way back.. this is like my 4-5th tube of Vaseline lip therapy... It just give me the most kissable lips.. haha *right,boyfriend?* cheap and good.. I like. haha

Next, Maybelline XXL mascara! It's pretty good and cheap also! ok la.. not that cheap but fit us student and just starting work budget.. most important of all, it's good! easy to use and give me nice lashes.. Usually I used the waterproof (blue tube)... its so used up now, that the XXL words is not even there anymore. Actually, most of the time I'm lazy to used the fiber.. and only use the black side which is good enough :)

My most recent and most expensive purchase, MAC Dainty.
I had been eyeing it since I saw it online. The best part of all, I bought it and love it! It's so pretty... sometimes I wish I won't use it so much... haha

oh gosh.. I feel so bimbo and it's fun!

The start.

2008-09-09T22:56:00.000+10:00
