Beauty Issues #13 - H&M Makeup Brushes at RM10

Hola!

Yeap you read it right! I wasn't expecting the promo price when I walked into H&M to get my second crease blending brush but while I was browsing through, I was surprised with the price! But then it was only for a few types of the brushes. 

Beauty Issue #12 - Brown-Red Lipsticks

Hola!

I've been into lipsticks more this year. I don't exactly have any favourite colour at the moment as there are huuuuuge varieties of choices. Not to mention from different brands. There are three brands here that I tried on and I'm gonna go through it in the simplest way.

August Splurge and Love - Dearest Grace by @blingncharms

Hola!

Heh! As the title mentioned, I got myself Dearest Grace from a friend of mine who is an agent for this brand. Initially when I saw she posted, I thought it was some-huge-ass-doraemon-ding-dong bell in necklace, earrings and bracelet form. Then I kept browsing for quite a while.  XD I can be quite an auntie when it comes to online shopping. Even if it's my friend who's selling it!

Singapore Spree

Hola! Today is the day that I finally have time to pen something down! It feels crazy to know that it's been TWO weeks since I was in Singapore! Missing all the fun and great people!

Beauty Issue #11 - NARS Concealer

Hola!

This round, it's about concealer! I'm always sceptical about putting on concealers, wondering if they really could cover the dark circles. I've tried a few e.g. Lancome (few years back), and some other brands that I can't remember.

Beauty Issue #9 - D.U.P Wonder Eyelid Tape

Hola!!!

A friend gave me this Double Eyelid Tape she got from an online store. I've been using it and my verdict is: 4 stars. Great tape with a catch.

First and foremost, the adhesive is really strong. I tried using it for 8hours without worrying it will pop out of my eyelids. I've seen girls with the eyelid tape sticking out and it's "ewww". This is WOW.. A serious WOOOOOW. Very sticky even my eyelids gets oily after half the day wearing this on.

Then, I love the size and shape of it. Perfect fit for my eyelids. No shaping, no cutting, no further adjustments to the tape. Just remove it from the sheet and it's ready to stick. And I love the sharp tip ends. I tried eyelid tape with thick ends and it's pretty weird looking after it sticks to my eyelid. Maybe it's only me.

Last but not least, I love the eyelid "fork". I was looking for this up and down as the usual cheaper ones are not really the correct fork to use. This was the original fork that I think all girls should be using. The cheaper ones are very much smaller and it's not very convenient to stick the eyelid tape in a go. This bigger fork allows the two ends of the eyelid tape to touch the fork and adhere it straight at one shot to the designated position. Great must-have tool.

Beauty Issue #8 - Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser

Holla!

When my "small boss" went to taiwan, I told her I wanted this - Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser. I have been wanting to get one of my own but I'm so not familiar with taiwan products. And she does. I think I'm more familiar with Western products.

I've been using it for 2 weeks, I guess and it does has it's pros and cons, similar to those I've read online.

What I love about it is it cleans my white heads. Those you can feel on your nose using your fingers. I used to scratch them off a lot when I have the chance to. But it was always there. This cleanser actually acts as a scrub to my face. So I barely use scrub cleanser nowadays. Combining both will actually make my skin really dry.

After a few experiment, I personally think it's best for me to use this cleanser only twice per week (mostly Tuesday & Friday) to avoid my skin turning dry.

Also, it's using normal batteries but then really waterproof at the same time. So, no worries about damaging the batteries here.

What I dislike about it is the brushes. It's okay for now as it's still new. But after some time, before changing the head, I would always imagine all the bacteria living inside and underneath the brush.

Eww.

Other than that, everything seems fine for me. I wouldn't have high hope on removing my blackheads with this cleanser because I can clearly see and clarify that IT DOESN'T WORK on black heads. I have plenty of black heads and I know if a product works on them. And this Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser is not in my black-head-free list.

Yet for the price and it's function, I think I'll keep it until it's useless to me. :)

Elemental Beauties with Fellow Bloggers - Water Themed

Photo Credit to Syaza

Hola!!!

November has arrived! And so I brought myself back to blogging too. Been busy with my new job and workloads and catching up with friends. Heh.

Anyway, this post is actually a little project initiated by Syaza from HERE. Sorry I was really busy with work and some personal issue so I delayed this post for 2 weeks >.< This project is called Elemental Beauties which includes Fire, Metal, Water, Earth and Wind. So I was hoping to do a Water-themed related beauty post and I'm not sure about this but I think Syaza read my mind and assigned me Water theme! Haha! Thank you lovely pie!

My initial plan was to do a nail art but after second thought, I switched to a simple and daily Water-themed make up. Water to me is very blendable. Depending on how and what you want it to be, it will be. It's just like what late Bruce Lee said,

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

Below are the products I used for this make up.

1. Sephora Collection Eye Shadow Palette

2. Bourjois Smokey Eyes

3. Egyption Magic Cream

4. Sephora Mini Make Up Palette Bag

5. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

6. Benefit High Beam Highlighter

7. Benefit The Porefessional

8. Benefit Bad Gal Lash

9. NXY Glam Liner in Glam Azure

10. Too Faced Jingle All The Way Palette

So here are my results!

Well, how do I look? Apart from using Bourjois Smokey Eye for my upper eyelid, for my lower part I used the same sheer silver from Bourjois as well as a sheer Teal colour towards the end and blend it up towards my dark blue. The I topped it up with NYX eye liner to stress the look even more.

I decided on this look after loads of googling from the internet and came up with this. Those from the internet are really awesome but it wasn't suitable for a daily wear. So I toned down the level to this. At least it's wearable either for a night out or a wedding or any special occasion without going too BOOMZ, you know. Hahaha!

Apart from me, you can also read up other blogger's post for the rest of the Elemental themes! Links are as provided below! :)

That's all for now, see you soon!

Beauty Issue #7 - Miss Hana Lip Balm Crayon by Natta Cosme

Holla!!

I'm into lip beauty products lately as it's very convenient for a lazy person to put on make ups. Just a lip balm will do the magic! This time round, Natta Cosme sent me two samples of Miss Hana Natural-Born Lip Balm Crayon to try on! When I opened the box, I looked at the lip balms and thought "It really do look like crayons!" LOL WTM. Natta Cosme even sent a small pack of Faber-Castell crayons to write a message on a postcard (which I'll be sending it back to them). Cutie!

So these are the two lip balm crayons - Moulin Rouge Diva and Purple Sakura Season. The first one is more towards coral colour while the latter is a pinkish colour. Very girly and attractive packaging. You can even buy it as a gift for your closed ones.

My verdict is these lip balms are very moisturising to the lips. I purposely applied it on my cracked lips when I tried the Moulin Rouge Diva and I found my lips looked better after a while. I've always love coral-ish lipsticks/balms and thanks to Natta Cosme for sending me such gorgeous colours! Not really a pink fan but I kinda love this Purple Sakura Season on my lips. Heh. Looks soft and I had been using this colour whenever my outfits are towards soft and girly type too. Oh! And they smell really good too! Such a pleasant smell to put on my lips when I don't have any mint with me!

One thing I would advise girls is if you're going to a beach or somewhere windy, this won't be suitable as the balm might be kissing your hair too much due to the moisturising feature. Indoors, date night in a fancy restaurant or hangouts at cafes will be fine. Who likes being seen "eating" hair, right?

Valiram Greatest Hits Sale - Victoria's Secret Haul

Photo Credit to Valiram Group Malaysia

Hola!!

I believe there are tons of Victoria's Secret's fans out there who knows about this sale! I heard it over the radio and googled the details. It was organized by Valiram Group, called the Greatest Hits Sale! So on thursday after work, I went to The Westin Hotel with a friend of mine (both soon-to-be-VS-shopaholics LOL)

I have been wanting Victoria's Secret's Bombshell perfume ever since I finished my mini bottle (a gift from a friend) but the stores were selling only the normal size bottles. Yet I got one Bombshell set in normal size which comes with a handy pouch since it's on sale. Super cute and simple! But I think I'm going to give that pouch to someone. I've too much pouches sitting on my cupboard.

Then, I was hoping to get a travel set because it's very very cute and convenient to bring around in my handbag. I was so excited when I found one here! It's in the Jet Setter Travel Kit. The exact mini bottle of Bombshell perfume! Madly in love! It comes along with a Sleeping Eye Mask, Lip balm, Brightening Gel Cream and a Hand Treatment. Happy!

My friend and I wasn't really satisfied with the few things we had in hand so we macro-shopped another round! LOL WTM! I got a set of Victoria's Secret's Love Spell with Body Mist, Lotion and Body Wash. I got this because of the purple pouch. Meh.. Might be giving it out as a gift or maybe use it on my own. Hahah!

Last but not least, who will walk away without any Victoria's Secret's underwear!? Too bad there wasn't any bras for sale but underwear will be fine! It was 5 for RM79 so, eyes closed and just grab!

The staffs were helpful and friendly. Nothing much to complain about the sale. The crowd was pretty heavy and everybody was hands full. There were other brands e.g. Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade etc but the products wasn't attractive to me. I'm super glad with my purchases! Anyone else went there?
