By everbluec · November 29, 2009 · 2 Comments · 12 Views

Accompany my little sister for some face makeup shopping... and I ended up with some stuff (Most of the stuff are my sis one! lolx)

OK.. she got these::

Lucido-L Hair spray SD$9.20 (Watsons)
Lucido-L Pump SD$14.90 (Hair serum/oil) (Watson)

I don't do much to my hair.. so I never get interested in hair products except shampoo! lolx ... Infact I don't even use a comb to comb my hair! I always comb it with my fingers after my hair is air-dry .. and I hardly use any conditional at all! (Oh gosh... I don't remember when I use a real comb to comb my hair!!!) I'm just blessed with good hair and bad scalps! lolx (we can't have everythings! lolx)

Ok.. here's the break down of her haul ^__^ (I can't do much review on it.. cos I hardly using her stuff! (And we have diffenent skin types!)
I have combination skin (not really that oily la... cos I don't have the need to blot my face except the bridge of my nose.) And she have oily skin (she told me very oily!!) Most of the stuff that works for me and not on her! (lolx)

I was telling my sister that I need something that I can bring out for touching up and I told her about blot powder and MSF... I end up getting MSF cos I don't need to blot! lolx And she was very interested in the blot powder. So she end up getting it!! And it's her FIRST MAC!!!

Super Dolly 3D mascara (Sasa) SD$19.20 (After 20% discount- SD$15.90))

I got this cos it got lengthening effect and the tip/brush head can bend/curve!!

Review: The BodyShop SPA WISDOM Africa Ximenia & Salt Scrub

By everbluec · November 26, 2009 · 17 Comments · 80 Views

A request review by Fiend ^__^

 

I say I will try to use this for at least up to 5 times before doing a review.. but I only use this for like 3 times and I already don't feel like using it anymore!! lolx
Why? Cos it's doesn't feel like a scrub to me! lolx ... But I will tried to finish up the bottle(don't wanna waste it!)

See.. what I means? It feel very grainy when I rub it between my dry fingers.... but the salt kinda dissolved when I rub it on my wet body!

I have to use alot of products to feel a tiny bit of the scrubs effect... else it just feel like putting cream all over my body =(  

(The above products swatches were done with dry hands/fingers)

SPA WISDOM Africa Ximenia & Salt Scrub (350ml) Price SD$52.90

I very much prefer their Body Polish scrubs!! They have a wide range of scents and it make my body feel really clean and a tube(200ml price SD$18.90) can last me a long time!

Anyone tried  Africa salt scrub before??? What to you feel about this product??

Mini Haul: The Balm + swatches

By everbluec · November 19, 2009 · 30 Comments · 126 Views

Check out The Balm at Suntec Sasa..
The MUA(she gave me a free makeover  + brows trimming voucher!).. she's really friendly!!!!

I bought the Hot mama blush and a Time balm concealer!
I also bought 3 lip balms from the push cart at level 1
(They have some really interesting and fun lip balms!)

Hot mama blush.. it's a very pretty coral with gold sheen (not glittery at all.. very pretty)... 
It's look very similar to MAC improvise mineral blush..
but Hot mama have a pink gold sheen to it!!
(It's abit light for tanned/darker skin tone ppls.. but it does provide a very very pretty pinky gold sheen!)

Time balm concealer (It can be use on daytime, night time and bedtime!!) Can wear it to sleep O.O!
When I heard that, my first thought was ...
"wow!! It so breathable that it won't cause clogging even apply to sleep"!!!
Then the MUA told me that this concealer have healing effect, it can fade dark cirlce and acne red scars!!!
But it need about a period of 2 mths time!!  Anyway... I'm SOLD... I have to get it!!

The concealer feel abit creamy compare to benefit boi~ing concealer
(Not as thick creamy like MAC concealer.. I never tried MAC concealer before, but I've swatched it afew time at the counter before!)

comparing with benefit boi~ing concealer

The balm conealer look abit pinky beige where benefit one have more yellowish tone.
The MUA was wearing The balm concealer and it doens't look cakey on her.. and I tried using it today.. it feel feel good ^__^
I was thinking.. if it was too thick or cakey on me.. I just use it at night as a treament to lighten my acne scars!  hahahah

The Balm Time concealer :: Price: SD$29.90 - 7.5g (Benefit boi~ing was SD$41 - 3g)
The Balm Hot Mama eyeshadow/blushes Price: SD$29.90
Lipbalm at the push cart 3 for SD$10

When I first saw the Sweet durian lip balm... I have to get it for my sister (Ariya)!!
HAhaha.. she love durain and weird/odd stuff.. I dare not sniff it(cos I don't like durain) so I ask my little sister (Nanda) to sniff it for me! hahaha
So I have to get 2 more.. I get Blueberry and Pomegranate ... Blueberry smell like heaven!!! They also have Mango.. but it smell weird to me! lolx

That's all... I just found out that sephora having sales at Suntec on 19 Nov and 20 Nov thru Sarah(facesbysarah) ... I don't think I'm will popping by tomorrow =(

Nail polish challenge:: Beauty credit in VL04 (Violet)!

By everbluec · November 6, 2009 · 2 Comments · 40 Views

I wanna test out how long a Beauty Credit nail polish can last without a top coat!

I bought some beauty credit nail polishs last month.. so far I only used the orange color one but with konad prints and top coat and it last me a week plus! So I wanna see how well it last without a top coat.

I use VL04 (Violet), a very pretty purplish blue shade.

I applied 2 coats on 31 Oct 2009 afternoon.

 

After 5days (I can't have it any longer.. cos it look so chipped on the first 2 fingers on both hands)

 

It last quite well.. since I did not go easy with my hands!! 
I cook, wash, showering my doggies and ects!

The polish fade abit, becoming abit sheer... but the chipping wasn't that bad, only the first 3 fingers on both hands(that we use it more often) chipped the worse... if I do not cook, I believe the polish will last longer! (Cos heat are nail polish worse enemy!! lolx)

Price: SD$4.90
Packaging:  Pretty and have a nice brush! Make application easy and didn't get too messy!
Products:  I like the texture!! Not too watery or sticky thick that's hard to apply! It doesn't stain my nails (GOOD GOOD)
Will I buy it again:: I will buy their nail polish again(but not the same shade)
