Bourjois Blusher

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

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.

More on those stuff later.

Blushers

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

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

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

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

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.

NARS Superorgasm and Malaysia!

NARS.. I have been craving for this brand since I heard of it.
Especially for their super famous blush, Orgasm.
I mean, where can you find a better blusher name than that...

Sigh and now for their Holiday Collection 2008, they are coming out with Superorgasm!
Argggg I want ittttt...


and also another exciting part is....




Malaysia!

oh yes... This product is named Malaysia.. I feel so proud when I saw it..
It's our country, baby. And such a nice colour.. haha..

When will NARS come to Malaysia with Orgasm and Malaysia?

sigh...

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner

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.

battling your eyelashes

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.

Meanwhile make up side, Majolica Majorca has finally come to Malaysia!!!




Had always hear good stuff about it from my one of my favourite makeup site, http://www.musingofamuse.com/

Heard that its available in KLCC Watson.. I can't wait to go check it outttt!
I'm so excited!!! near my office somemore, die man.
there goes my hard earn money.

vibrators.

haha.. I am always tempted to put that as a blog title..
and finally I could!
dirty people.. what are you thinking.
I'm talking bout mascara ok...
mascara that vibrates.. I know.. scary yet intriguing..
It has seems to be a trend for mascara to vibrate, with big companies coming out with them..

Lancome Ôscillation

Estee's

like Lancome Ôscillation and Estée Lauder TurboLash All effects Motion mascara. mouthful eh both the name.. ( honestly.. I just type vibrating mascara and copy off the name)

and guess what's the best of all? they are all battery operated!! woohoo
so use your imagination babes..

Favourites

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.

Hi there,

will this be the start of all the colours that I played with?
yes, I'm talking bout make-up! hehe.

I've always love to read make-up blogs, well beside my close friends one..

and it's quite exciting to start one!

welcome welcome, and I hope you enjoy my little reviews. :)
