Product review : Loreal lip and eye make up remover

Packaging

Not very big. Easy to carry around.
Cap is tight and doesn't spill when I brought it to travel.

Smell

No smell at all which is good as I'm fear of fragrances or chemical that is a burden to my sensitive skin.

Applicator 

Use a cotton pad and pour the amount of make up remover desired.
I usually use 1 cotton for my foundation, and subsequently 1 cotton for both my eyes when I'm wearing light make up. Use 1 cotton for each eyes if u wear heavy make up

Texture

It's oil make up remover. Many feels that oil remover clogs up the pores which I couldn't determine whether it's true or not. But if you are afraid so, then just use it for your eyes and lips not your skin.

Ease of use
It removes make up very efficiently. Although nowadays people opt for other means of removing make up such as water based make up removal, the oil based one's are still the best make up removal. 

Pros and cons

+ removes make up and waterproof mascaras efficiently
+ no irritation to eyes, no burning sensation
- slight blurring of vision when it enters the eyes
- may clog pores

Summary

It's a good product for its price. I usually use this when I'm wearing thick make up as it removes nice and clean.
I'm currently trying out Shu uemura's make up removal that is much raved about as I usually put on only sunscreen not full foundation. Will blog about it soon.

Product review : Naked urban decay eye shadow (Basics)

Packaging

Small and simple. Easy to carry around and is durable so it wouldn't crack when you drop it accidentally.

Applicator 

It doesn't comes with an applicator. The easiest method is to either use your finger or using an eyeshadow brush.

Texture

It's powder based. Very powdery in fact. Therefore using your finger to apply might be better to prevent thick powdery makeup on your eyes.
The Venus colour has very fine shimmers in it which is great for highlights.

Coverage

The colour is not very vivid except the black one. Therefore repeated application is needed to achieve the desired colour gradient.

Colour

I love the colour from this palette as earth colours are always my favourite. But I do prefer some glitters in the Brown colour as well instead or just the venus colour. But there are other naked palette with glitter colour selections.

Summary

Overall it's quite a good product for daily simple make up use. But it's requires repeated applications of the colour to be vivid. Therefore I would prefer Kate eyeshadow than this.

Pros cons

+ simple  basic colours
+ good for everyday make up
+ easy to use to highlighting and contouring of eye shape.
- colours are not vivid enough.
- requires few applications the achieve the depth of colours needed.

Product review : Bobbi brown corrector

Packaging

It's simple and classic looking. Very small and light. You can just toss it in ur bag to touch up your make up anytime! It also has a tiny mirror in it in case you can't go to toilet for touch up.

Applicator 

Doesn't come with an applicator. I suggest applying it with a concealer brush. You can also use your finger.... But dust will get stuck in it and its so hard to take them out without scooping and wasting loads of the concealer. So.... Just go get a brush xD

*reminder : Keep it in cool place. I've tried putting it near some warm place and it turned into this soft, creamy, oily texture. It'll turn back to normal after it cools down.. But I think it will loose its original structure, coz it happened to mine. New ones always seem to have better coverage, i think its becoz of this haha~

Texture

Stickiness: 

very thick and creamy. Therefore better coverage. Recommended to conceal pimples, blemishes, moles.

Moisturising effect:

Smooth and doesn't flake. Not dry upon application, but after around.... 2-3 hours the skin starts to dry up and it will start to flake. So bring it out with you if you are planning to go out for long hours.

Coverage

I would say quite good. Had been using this for 5 years. I use this as eye concealer (but it's recommended to use liquid ones on eyes) But my skin is very dry now, including the skin under my eyes, therefore it doesn't really stay and it will have this wrinkly appearance after few hours when it dries up. So I think it suits moisten skin better. Using it on other parts of the face is okay though.

Colour

I'm using Light peach. It's a little pinkish and suits my skin better. I've tried Natural before this, it's too yellow for my skin. Make sure you choose the correct colour for your skin tone! Ask for help from the counter lady~ They will help you match your skin colour. It's best to get a tone lighter than your skin tone if you have very dark eye circles like me~

How long will it last

As I mentioned earlier, it dries up after 2-3 hours and you havta reapply it. However, if you skin is moist, you apply moisturiser and all, then it will last longer. But of cos on oily skin, it's like any other concealer, when it gets oily, it will start to be diffused at the margins. You can use oil blot to clear off the oil first then reapply.

Ease of application

Very easy. If I'm rushing I usually use my finger n just dap it under my eyes. Super fast and easy to blend out. Will not leave patches~

Summary

It's really good. Tried a few cheap and expensive concealer and always comes back to using this. Works well especially good for emergency situation where you need fast touch up on your make up.

Product review : Dolly wink brow kit

Today I'm gonna review on dolly wink brow palette.

Drawing brows is actually one of the most important step before I step out of the house. I actually can't leave the house without drawing my brows coz I'll look so different although I do have quite a thick pair of brows.

 But the thing is, I don't like brows which are really drawn on like with brow pencil. It's so unnatural. So I had been using brown eye shadow to colour my brows. Thank God some one invented something called brow powder! It can be used as eye shadow too! 

Packaging

Comes in a small black oval palatte. A Dolly wink brow kit actually comes in 2 colours. 

The dark 1 is to colour your brows as the base colour while the light 1 is to brush onto your brows as a finishing coat after the dark colour to make the brows look smoother. The light 1 can be used as a nose shadow too!

Applicator 

Comes with a small brow brush. Bristles are quite hard, you wouldn't need to use a separate brush to comb your brows.

Colour

The brow kit is available in 3 types of colour combination to match different hair colour. The palette I chose is the darkest as I have black hair right now. 

The colour is quite pigmented, non glittery, which is great to create natural looking brows! If you want a darker colour just go over the area a few more times.

Reminder: apply the colour before using eye brow pencil. Fill in the bald spots with the brow shadow and then outline the brows with the pencil. Brush on the lighter colour to create a smooth brow effect.

Ease of application

Easy. Just a few strokes and your brows will look thicker and tidier.

Pros cons

+ moderately pigmented, creating natural looking brows.

+ small and easy to carry around.

+ easy to use

+ colour stays on for 5-6 hours.

Summary

I really love this product. It is so easy to use and the colour stays on throughout the day. It can also double up as a nose shadow powder using the lighter colour one.

Product review : Maybelline the Falsies Volume Express mascara

Do you want a pair of beautiful eyes with long and voluminous eye lashes? Read on to find out how you can achieve this look without the help of fake lashes!

Claims

Packaging

It comes in a sexy purple colour! :D with lace details~ fusiform shaped, easy to hold without dropping it ( I have butter fingers heh ;) )

Applicator brush

The brush is the soft classical type, criss crossed nylon bristles. It has a curved spoon design to it which will adapt better to the curvature of the eyes. There's even a friendly note here saying : use spoon brush with this side against lashes. How sweet~

*reminder : 

Texture

Fibre:

Loads and loads of fibre!! Super rich. It's like every stroke fills your lashes with fibres but they are not heavy at all! It won't make your lashes droopy. So amazing!

Consistency:

Very thick. Dries up fast, around 3-4 secs. No worries on smudging onto lower lids when you accidentally blink your eyes :) I bought the one in Black Drama. seriously damn black and dramatic LOL. me likey!! Great for creating dolly look!

Water proof

This might be the only negative point. Sadly It's not water proof :( I didn't know coz my sis bought this for me. Then I went to bathe without removing my make up. When I came out of the bathe room I got the shock of my life -.- looked like those girls who cried with mascara in the show xD and did I not already mention it's DAMN BLACK? Hahaha. Imagine that. I nearly got a heart attack -.-

Smear/smudge proof

I think it's quite smudge proof for a non water resistant mascara? Worn it to prom when I still had oily skin, it did not smudge even a little to my lower lids :)

Fix

What I LOVE about Maybelline mascaras is that they fixes your lashes in place so well!! Like if you curl your lashes nicely, it will take up the shape, will not make it droop even abit! Drooping is the thing I hate the most! Coz I spend alot of time curling my lashes and make sure it's in good shape before I apply mascara on. This is my 3rd Maybelline mascara and it still works like magic. I've tried many super branded and expensive mascaras which still droops your lashes. Quickly go get a Maybelline mascara right now if you have drooping problem!!

Ease of application

To be frank, it's a little harder to apply than the other Maybelline mascaras I had. Coz the bristle are abit too long. Applying Upper lashes is okay, but when it comes to lower lashes, it's really way to big! Even how careful I apply it will still get my lower lids. My advise is either use a card to block your lower lids beneath the lashes when u apply or use a comb type brush. I use the comb type brush from my Maybelline Cat eye series. It's okay too if you wanna just use it for upper lashes and use other for lower lashes. But the long and rich fibres look really nice and will definitely volumize you lower lashes!!

How to apply?

To get the long and dramatic lashes, follow these steps:

Apply in zig zag motion at the roots of the lashes. ONLY THE ROOTS!

Then pull out, upwards and straight direction.

Repeat the steps for the other parts. 

Make sure you follow the fan shape of your lashes. Front lashes brush toward head of your eye brows. Middle forward outwards. Back lashes outwards towards tail of you eye brow.

Pros cons

+ sexy packaging, easy to hold.

+ Brush is soft and can be manipulated relatively easily.

+ Tons of fibre! Totally double up the amount of lashes you have!

+ Dries fast, no mess.

+ Dark, opaque colour, thick consistency.

+ smear and smudge proof.

+ Fixes curled lashes shape brilliantly!

- Kinda tough for application on lower lashes.

- Not water proof :(

My super light, simple 5 minutes make up :)

So today I went to fix my ankle. Twisted it slightly when I was in UK. Too much walking and shopping! xD

Anyway, I was suppose to meet my friend in the afternoon and I was like really really late! I had only like 5 minutes to do my make up before heading out. 

Therefore I did a very light, simple make up which is also suitable as a daily make up.

And yes of coz I photoshopped my skin. I don't think I even blend out the CC cream evenly. xD

For face:

Foundation:

 Face shop FACE it CC cream 

Just a thin layer using foundation brush or sponge.

If you have extra time and want a more matted look, you can pat on a layer of translucent setting powder like this:

Powder:

Soap&Glory One heck of a blot face powder 

Use a powder brush and just swipe over the whole face gently.

For eyes:

Eyebrow powder:

 Dolly wink eye brow powder kit 

Concealer:on

 Collection lasting perfection concealer

Eyeliner:

 Maybelline Hypersharp liner 

To create a natural but bigger eyes, just draw a thin line along the eyelash roots and extend it horizontally for 2-3mm from corner of the eyes.

Mascara:

 Maybelline Rocket volum' express mascara 

Just one layer will do as I did not apply eye shadow, therefore the eyelashes will be visible even if it's only 1 layer. And remember we wanna create a natural look.

If you still have extra time, you can put on some eye shadow and blusher~

Eye shadow:

 Kate deep eyes eyeshadow 

Please excuse the dirty cover and almost-finished-brown-colour, It shows that it is very good and i use it alot xD Actually used this for like 3 years now? :O super long lasting.

Blusher:

Silky girl Blush hour blusher 

This is a cheap and good blusher! It's actually my 2nd one now. Didn't thought of changing brand coz it's really good. The colour is very natural and it's cheap! Wonder if they are still on shelf coz I bought this like 2 years ago. Hopefully they wont stop producing it!

Finished look! It's very natural right? Looks like I didn't have any make up on :)

 Ahem. please excuse my awkward smile. Still trying to get used to smiling with braces on xD

While camwhoring bro came to disturb me -.-

 Mom going out for some dinner. 

So how is your 5 minutes make up like?

Thanks for reading! xoxo~
