All the swatches were swatched dry on the back of my hand (no primer nor base)

The baked shadows can be use dry or wet... when using it wet, it will gives a more intense shade.  The baked eyeshadow feels smooth and swatch nicely on the back of my bare hand..

House in a very basic black base with transparents top plastic case. Abit hard to open.. so have to be extra careful if you don't wanna send them flying off your hands. The baked shadow wasn't firmly glued onto the base of the plastic case, cos when I swatch the shadow, it will move abit.

On the eve of our (Singapore) National Day - Aug 8th 2012... I was partying standing @ ZOUK with a group of friends (bloggers). Check out the cute invitation!

I'm not a clubbing person - but I do love the musics, the lighting and the "darkness" ... it just that I don't like "crowds". (lolx) Anyway, I have fun cos all my friends (most of them) were there... so I don't feel so lonely (It's sad and isolated when you feel lonely in a crowd!!! Don't you think so??)

They also set up a booth for the latest Maybelline's products which will be in Store in September 2012 with special discount.

Sometimes back Hada Labo released a newly reformula Super Hyaluronic Acid lotion with new ‘nano’ hyaluronic acid molecule. The New ‘Nano’ Super Hyaluronic Acid boosts its hydration power, and now enables full and thorough hydration from skin surface to deep within.

The new ‘nano’ hyaluronic acid molecule is 1/20 the size of the normal hyaluronic acid’s. This enables penetration to areas deep within the skin. The other two hyaluronic acid, ‘Normal’ and ‘Super’ hydrate skin closer to the surface.

With a superior combination of all three hyaluronic acid (Nano, Super, Normal), Hada Labo Hydrating range can give your skin a deeper and fuller hydration.

• Fragrances Free

• Mineral oil Free

• Alcohol Free

• Colorant Free

• Skin pH balanced

• Low Irritating

Ingredients list (click to enlarge)

The new reformula Hada Labo SHA Hydrating Lotion Nano consistency feel pretty much similar to the original version. Only can feel abit of the different when applied on the skin.

• The lotion does feel watery with alittle bit of slimy consistency.
  But it doesn't make skin feel "sticky" nor "stuffy" once the lotion absorbed into the skin.

• Not as sticky as the original version

• Fast absorption and the nano lotion sit very well on the skin
• The finishing of the lotion feel moist and "cooling"(on the skin surface)
• Skin does feel refreshing and soothing (I like~)
• Moisturizing
• Skin feel supple
  (It might be the cream that I'm using, but this lotion does "help" to boost up the hydrating level)
• Calm "warm/inflammation" skin

• Safe to apply around eye areas.
• lightweight
  The consistency of the "nano" lotion feel abit more lighter and watery as compare to the original lotion when I apply it on the skin.
• doesnt cause any break-out
• No irritation
• Doesn't crash with the skincare products that I'm using/rotating
  (brand:: For beloved One, Origins or Elizabeth Arden products)

I prefer to pour alot of the SHA lotion on cotton pad (just soak up the cotton square pad) and start patting all over my face.  The lotion feel lightweight and absorb fast and nicely onto the skin.

I do notice that (from my previous experiences) - the lotion start to lose abit of the efficacy after opening the products for more then 2 to 3 months. This huge bottle can last up to 3 to 5 mths depend on the usage (if use about 2 to 3 drops each time). So please use generously.. else it would be a waste if you keep the products for too long.

.

.

About my skin condition :
My skin start to feel abit dry again but NOT tight (thankfully)
T-zone still feel normal (abit oily - only on nose)
I guess I should resign to my fate that NOW my skin is dry combination.
I think age play a huge part in changing my skin condition.
I feel greateful as long as it doesn't feel tight and painful! ^_^

Ingredients list...
[Not sure which ingredients - But this palette cannot be shipped over to US and Canada (according to their website)]

Various lighting of the pretty colorful matte shadows
[Click to enlarge]

Swatches in various lighting....

Cricket, Boit and Strike are the most pigmented and creamy in the palette.... Sugarlite, floss, crete and Pow! were kinda weak.
All the shadows doesn't feel chalky.. they were pretty well pressed into the pan and they swatch well and smooth on the back of my dry hand.

They don't really feel like "matte" shadow... they have a nice sleek texture and finishing...

All swatches were done without any base.

Strike, Bammi, Dragon Fly, Cricket and Boit are my favourite!!!

Received Guerlain Shine Automatique in A La Parisienne #263 (The shade on the visual/Ad poster)

Swatches in various lighting
[Heavy and single swatch]

Lip swatches...

Bare lips...

Half lip's swatch....

Close up...

• The color was pretty radiant, not opaque creamy type of shade.. but the pigment is strong enough not to be mistake it as a "lip balm" or "lip gloss".

• The "transparent" feel make lips look moist and supple.

• The "crystal" like shimmers look really nice on the lips and doesn't make me look sick after awhile(where the shade start to fade off)

• It does gives a slight 3D effect.

• The lipstick doesn't feel drying nor sticky on the lips.. very moisturizing.

The shade look red (does contain red pigment), but not really red red... more like tinted red with some added "gloss" and "shimmers".

MORILINS Softening and Smoothening Organic Facial Therapy mask 

Ingredients list...

Directions...

Here my initial thought of the MORILINS Softening and Smoothening Organic Facial Therapy Mask

When I first put on the mask.. OMY.... I forgot to stretch the mask first (OOps! lolx)
So with some pulling here and there while the mask still on my face, it fit and stick on my face nicely!

• The mask feel abit tight(comfortable type of tightness) - lifting effect!
• Mask feel very moist yet not too messy "masking" it
• Very refreshing and soothing
• Does have a bit of tingling feels.. (nice type of feel)
• Doesn't sting nor have burning sensation while masking
• The mask remain moist and refreshing after 15mins
• Skin feel so relaxing
• Doesn't cause any irritation nor breaking-out
• Skin feel moist, supple and smooth
• Very moisturing (repeat again... I like how moisturizing this mask feel)
• After applying my normal skin cares... skin still feel "refreshing"
• I like the cut of the mask... cos it does cover up the side of my nose to the inner cheek where most of the mask doesn't!

The effect is just temporary.. but it good enough to give skin a relaxing "spa" treatment at home.
