Recently, Kate Cosmetics released 2 new matte shades brow mascara into their collection. I love their existing shimmery shades (gold and redish bronze). So when I saw the new matte shade, I just have to HAVE IT :b
Each brow's mascara retail at SD$14.90 Very reasonable - because I personally love their brow's mascara - I have original 2 shimmery shades - they are very lasting and coat the brows nicely without making a mess (I means not too wet).
[Products information]

Kate Powderless Liquid Foundation

KATE Powderless Liquid for cover foundation turns into powder within 15 seconds of application!
Formulated with Thin Film Fit Powder, the Kate Powderless Liquid Foundation contains coated pigments that help to correct visible skin problems and provide excellent coverage. In addition, it also includes a volatile oil ingredient that vaporises instantly upon application, allowing the foundation to adhere perfectly onto the skin without leaving it oily or sticky.

The foundation feel pretty light, easy to spread out and it set pretty fast into a semi matte/velvety texture.

The powder was very fine and smooth... easy to blend out and the pigment wasn't that strong.. just nice enough to give depth and dimension (for contouring/highlighting)

Went to the Zoo with my little aunt and my cousin last month (he's 11 yrs old and about 168cm!!!!! SO TALLLLLLLLL for his age) ... and I test out the vmv hypoallergenics Skin Savvy SPF 60 Liquid Foundation... It's hold up pretty well on humid weather (raining in the morning and super HOT sun in the afternoon till evening!)
Lancome Ombre Hypnose mono eyeshadow in Erika F is sure a pretty shimmery/glittery color!!!!

I have been trying out vmv hypoallergenics Skin Savvy SPF 60 Liquid Foundation for afew weeks now .... It has a high medium coverage with semi matte finishing. I do not feel that I need to set the foundation with a loose/pressed powder, so I didn't use any loose powder when I use this foundation.
The foundation feel nice on the skin, thought it might feel abit drying on dry skin (Suitable for all skin type - but I believe that combination to oily skin will love the texture)
On this LOTD... My skin was kinda normal (not drying nor oily) and the foundation last for 9hrs without any touching up.
[Full review coming up soon)
Few months ago, I won this Liquid foundation thru Cosmopolitan Singapore Facebook page giveaway. (They ran a series of products giveaway from various brands almost everyday back in March). I won the KATE Mineral Liquid foundation in shade OC-C (this is the common shade)
I can't find the ingredients list in english for this product.
Swatches in various lighting...
This shade OC-C was like about 1 to 2 shades darker then my usual foundation shade... but on my face, it wasn't that dark (just made me look abit warm).
For your info:::
My face is way darker then my whole body... so I need a brighter foundation to even out everything. I have KATE Lasting cover liquid foundation in BR-C.. the shade match me really well!
Here's the side by side comparison of the shades.
Half face... on strong day lighting, the shade doesn't look soo obvious.. but it does cover and even out all the uneven complexion.
When the foundation set.. my face does look abit warm (tired).
(it's not the foundation fault, I just need the "right" shade- lolx)
Anyway, put the shade aside... and focus on how I feel about the foundation after using it for a couple of weeks.
Side note:
My skin has become more and more better... skin doesn't feel dry nor tight
(but do look abit dry after applying foundation)
I'm back to mild oily combination skin ^__^
My nose and forehead will start to (shine) after afew hours...
I dont look much different under bright day lighting.
[Taken with flash] With flash can see the shade look warm on me...

A five shade eyeshadow palette designed specially to create large “real 3D” eyes through a fine balance of light and dark colours.

Swatches in various lighting...
Kate Art Dial Mascara
Price: SD$27
Bold and revolutionary, the Kate Art Dial Mascara is fitted with a tilted comb applicator that lengthens, maximises and curls lashes all at once.
The comb allows excellent lash separation, preventing possible clumping while fully coating each strand evenly. The lashes are simultaneously lifted from the base and curled or lengthened according to preference, with the lift and curl maintained by a fast-drying adhesive fluid.
The Kate Art Dial Mascara also prevents the mascara from drying up prematurely by a special twisting mechanism that dispenses fluid only when the dial-comb is turned. A great choice for lower lashes as well.
Twist to release mascara wax...
Twisted out the mascara wax...
The amount shown in the pic below are about 4 twists(to show you how it look when the wax flow out). Normally 1 to 2 twists is enough.

A very basic LOTD post featuring Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation...
>>> The foundation feel abit sheer with buildable coverage (up to medium coverage)
>>> Dewy finishing.
>>> Very moisturizing
>>> When I first apply the foundation, it feel really smooth abit like serum. Doesn't have the consistency of a liquid nor cream foundation.
>>> Very easy to spread around the face.
>>> Doesn't feel thick nor sticky.. (lightweight)
I like the texture alot... almost like the foundation was infused with silicon - but without the greasy type of smoothness and thickness. I should say the foundation feel like a primer - but with foundation coverage. Kekekeke :b
As for shade wise - it look abit redish, you know like bbcream type of red tint (not those blue pink type tint) .. it doesn't look too dark/warm on my skin, but I just wish that they have a brighter shade so that my skin would look brighter.
I used to have combination skin (abit oily) but for these few months, my skin feel more like combination dry skin (it doesn't oil up when I'm outside the whole day and it will start to feel tight after awhile).
BUT, is getting better and better, all thanks to Belif ^_^
Now it just feel like normal skin with abit of sebum around nose, chin and forehead (and feel abit dry after cleansing - no more painful and tight feeling(Yeah!)). Normally, I just use a piece of tissue to lightly dap over the areas where I feel abit oily.
Personally, I feel that this foundation are more suitable for adult skin(all skin type). As for teens who have combination skin, this might feel abit too rich(in moisturizing).

Do you all have any favourite foundation that you can't get it in Singapore??
OK, so this is a normal LOTD ^__^
A LOTD using the ansley New York - Pure Pop superstar eyeshadow & Gel eyeliner in Silky Browny Smokey.
This was one of the item in the February 2012 Bellabox
The pigmentation of the brown shadow was pretty average, not so pigmentated that I look like I've got a "punch" in the eyes look. The shadow feel smooth, abit powdery(when using a brush), easy to blend and the pigmentation was quite buildable (The swatches below was about 3 swipes).
Lolx... I look like a mad woman!

In this LOTD, I'm using the ZA Eyes Groovy in #04 Aqua Squash.
The shades was quite bright and fun, but not as soild and intense. It's bright enough to give a pop of color and still quite tone down for day time or work appropriate.
I'm using the blue on my whole lid and the aqua shade on the crease. (The aqua shade doesn't show up well on camera -_-")
Follow by any skin tone shade as brow's highlight/clean up (I'm using the CANMAKE setting powder). Line the eyes with ZA liquid liner and then set it with the navy blue shade(the one at the bottem right corner).
Use the lime green on my outer lower lash line and use any white frosty eyeshadows(or any pale white highlighter) on the inner corner of the eyes.
The eyeshadows from the Eyes Groovy was finely-milled ... not chalky at all and it doesn't have any fall-outs
ZA Cheeks groovy, the shades was pretty light but buildable. Good staying power and doesn't feel chalky too!
As for the highlight shade (June Bride).. the color doesn't show up like the swatches, just pale goldish tone(not too yellowish gold).. just a nice highlight sheen.

Yes, another LOTD using "green" ... this time, using Peripera ‘Flash Color Eyes’ stick eye shadow as base.
Please excuse my brows... they are getting thicker and thicker!!!!
Peripera ‘Flash Color Eyes’ stick eye shadow work nicely as a color base, but not good as a primer... it creases right after I finished my whole face! So remember to use a good primer before using the "flash color eyes" stick shadow.

Initial thoughts on the Teint Miracle Compact Foundation.....
->>>> Feel really smooth and light on the skin
->>>> It does minimized pores (but it do not much good on "super" large pores... lolx)
->>>> But this work really well with Lancome LA base
->>>> Oil control was pretty average (slightly better then the liquid foundation)
Still trying the compact powder with various primers, base(bbcream/liquid foundation) Will do a full review soon.
