When you go to bangkok, and you feel like buying makeup, TRY Beauty Cottage.
These shadows are said to have mixberry extracts and chamomile.
Review: Beauty Cottage Chic to Chic E/S duos in No.7 Golden Chestnut and No.02 Pink Raisin Packaging : Box packaging is very vintage European styled, very pretty of course but the product packaging needs more improvement. Embossment on the shadow itself is pretty but not very very special.
Texture: Very soft and buttery. Pigmentation are good but colour seem to be lighter when applied than it is in the pan. Wear Time: 5hrs with primer.
Special Traits :Golden Chestnutis more frosty but very neutral and natural. The darker colour seems to apply very light on the skin. Pink raisin is more like a satin sheen finish. Both are suitable for everyday and good for travelling since it is so light, small and compact.
Should you get it : It is either a hit or miss. Solely depends if you want to venture into makeup in Thailand but if they are doing a sale of buy 2 for a price of 1. GET IT.
Etude house packaging never fails to attract me. Ever so cute, girly and they will unleash your inner cutesy feminine self.
When I first saw this on the website that they will be launched. I knew I have to get it. Went into the stores and I walked away with 2 out of the 3.
Review: Etude House: Give me chocolate in Salted Caramel, Cherry Truffle. Packaging : Super chic clear plastic packaging, light weight and easy for travel because it is very compact. The way it looks like chocolate dipped in frosting is just something irresistible.
Texture: Very soft and powdery ( in a good way) but if you use a brush it pick up a lot of product becareful to be light handed. Pigmentation seems to be okay but colour seem to be lighter than it is in the pan. Wear Time: 8hrs with primer.
Special Traits : Packaging is a plus plus point, pigmentation is great for a korean product because usually they tend to be very light and not very pigmented. Salted Caramel is very glittery and shimmery ( good for dates, nights out with the bffs) Cherry Truffle is very natural, suitable for everyday and good for travelling since it is so light, small and compact
Should you get it : Yes, because it is not only cute, price is also reasonable, pigmentation as far as a korean product goes, it is pretty good.
Rating: 4.5 STARS
Salted Caramel
*** Some how I lost the picture swatch for Cherry Truffle, will update the swatch asap after i retake the photo.
This is highly talked about among Koreans and it makes me super curious about it.. so I went and bought it.
Review : LUMIPANG in PK008 CHU.
Packaging : Normal liptint packaging but i must say its cute.
Texture: This felt more like a lipgloss than a tint, texture is very similar to Etude House's Color Pop lip tints but has more of a slip to it, slightly more tacky. Wear Time: 4 Hours, with some drinking, and slight snacking ( finger food). With full meal, reapplication is needed. maybe darker shades will stain the lips.
Special Traits : Not much except for the very neon colour. But not as drying as tints should be.
Should you get it : This product is not something that is a must get, however if you are looking for a tint that is not that drying, this is worth a try, however to see staining effect you do need to pick up darker shades.
I've always wanted to try Innisfree's lip product so this time I went ahead. :)
Review will be about : Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick in No.3 Cream Coral.
This line is more of a creamy, moisturising & more pigmented version of innisfree lipglow lipstick.
It has a slight candy fruit scent which doesn't linger for long.
Packaging : Matte, similar packaging as all their lip product but for the part where it holds the lipstick bullet, instead of silver its a rose gold colour to differentiate between lipglow and creammellow. Texture: This is quite sheer when swatched however on the lips it definitely go on more pigmented than lipglow because when i tested lipglow in the stores, you can see the natural lipcolour peeking through it and layering lipglow doesnt not make the colour more opaque. However with creammellow, you can layer for a more pigmented and opaque colour payoff. Wear Time: 2-3 Hours with quite some drinking and some light snack ( finger food)
Special Traits : Not much, other than You wearing it sheer or layer for a more opacity .
Should you get it : I will say, if you haven't gotten any of the innisfree lipstick, then this is a better alternative as compared to lipglow because the effect both gave is the same glossy effect, but wearing it sheer you get the same effect as the lipglow and you can also layer it to be more opaque. If you are looking for a natural peachy coral pink, this is quite a nice and unique shade, definitely pull more pink than it looks from the bullet.
Hello everybody, It's been awhile since I last posted because I'm just a little busy with work and school. But I'm back!
Today's review will be about the Mac: Toledo Blush in Kindergarten Red.
This is the only MATTE out of the 3 blushes released under the collection when I swatch them in stores.
Packaging : magnetized closure, velvety/rubbery texture ( kind of feels like NARS packaging) & of course very pretty cover on the front.
Texture: This is quite pigmented when swatch however because it is matte, it does not show up or swatch as nicely as the other two. Wear Time: 5Hours. At the 6-8 Hour mark, you can see sheering and fading of product.
Special Traits : You can go for lighter or darker shade of this pink blush due to the ombre effect. Definitely something very volatile.
Should you get it : I will say, if you haven't gotten any of these ombre blushes before do get one because 1) it is very volatile, you can use it for a light flush or have it on bold. 2) packaging is pretty, worth collecting if you are a makeup collector. 3) wear time is also reasonable.
There is just so many stunning holiday collection items that I wanted to get
BUT you know, you just have to control cause you've got only 1 face! so because I wanted to try the laguna bronzer from NARS, I chose this one over the Hourglass Ambient blushes Trio.
I might still get in the future. HAHA
Alright let's focus.
This palette is pretty worth the money, because the blushes are almost a full size and the bronzer is a little more than the full one. Also got this 10% off so only paid SGD90 instead of 100 :) extra perks of buying things from sephora.
Starting with bronzer ( clockwise)
Laguna bronzer
Final Cut
Sex Fantasy
Miss Liberty ( very shimmery/ glittery highlight)
Deep Throat.
I would say I love the bronzer but I just got it on monday, So I'm still testing out this palette.
At first glance, I fell in love with the pink/lilac blush in Sex Fantasy.
Recently I am obsessed with that doll looking blush, this colour seem to fit the bill
However the first time I wore it, it didn't look as pale or as blue tone as it is in the pan. It kinds of transfer to a more natural pink blush... So I still need to wear it a few more times to see if it really does not go on the face as true in colour as it is in the pan.
Stay Tuned for More Updates about this palette! But for the price and the amount of product this is a palette that you might want to consider getting to test out Nars's product :)
Here are some of the makeup favourites for me. Very basic but definitely had received a lot of love!

Starting with the base:
1) Banila Co. it Radiant CC Cream.
2) Tarte's Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation ( in Light Beige)
Moving on to the eyes after priming :

Lastly To bring a glow to the Face,
I will dust the Guerlain's 2014 Holiday Meteorites all over.
Without it, I can't leave the house! I love the scent :)
I would like to say something about the Banila Co. 's CC cream, a lot of people misunderstood this as a substitute for BB creams and then realised it is not of their liking because of the sheer coverage and the lack of pigmentation. However this product is not meant to be used as a bb cream / foundation. It is a base that corrects the skin tone and bring some life/ dewy-ness back to the skin. So it should be used as a base underneath foundations or mixed with bb cream to enhance the look of the skin. Therefore, if you are to use it correctly, you guys will quite like it. I like how it brightens up my dull skin and correct the skintone evening out the skin colour of my face. What I really like about it is that it give a slight dewy finish for my tarte's powder foundation. It is a great combo!
blended out a little bit towards the left, you can detect the small area towards left of the swatch is brighter but not over the top.!
Something Extra
