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.

[Review]

Skin 79 latest addition -  Skin79 Vital BB Cream with SPF 50+ PA+++ (More details here)

The people from Skin79 Sg sent me the press kit in CNY mood packaging!
(The orange bbcream = Mandarin Orange! lolx)

Inside were their latest addition Skin79 Vital BB Cream with SPF 50+ PA+++ and Skin79 Simple Touch Eyeliner. Not forgetting Skin79 angbao!

The bottle/packaging of the Vital Bbcream is the same as their VIP Hotpink and Gold BBcream (but the texture of the bbcream was totally, completely different!!!)

Ingredients...

Swatches...

The bbcream feel quite normal as compare to those thicker(abit more coverage) bbcream .. but when I spread it on my face, the texture of the bbcream feel thick and creamy.

Spreading the bbcream on my face/skin...

[Top - taken without flash]
[Bottom - taken with flash]

The bbcream texture was pretty thick and it does look thick on my face(I only need half pump for my whole face).

Personally, I prefer light watery texture bbcream or liquid foundation that was more towards sheer to medium/dewy finishing. And this is pretty much high medium to full coverage, matte finishing.

[Top taken without flash - can see that my complexion is more even and matte on the right side]
[Bottom taken with flash] (Click to enlarge the pics to see the clearly)

Because of the thick texture/almost full coverage.. it does emphasize the dryness on my face.

For these couple of months, my skin are more towards dry combination then oily.. but my nose still feel abit oily on humid weather.

Well, normally my skin doesn't work quite well with "thick" texture foundation/bbcream.. it just make my skin look abit patchy (especially) on my cheeks. ((You know.. skin look and feel perfectly ok(hydrated), but when apply thick foundation... it's will look dry!))

That's the sad story of my combination "not oily, not dry, not normal" skin!

(On below pic) Look abit patchy right.. (by the way, the skin between my lips and nose are extremely dry... because, I caught a cold on CNY and have been squeezing nonstop for a week!)

If you do not have any problems with full coverage foundation, I bet this will work well on your skin too. This foundation target more for normal, combination to oily skin. (It will look abit dry or patchy on dry skin)

Sum up my thoughts on the Vital Bbcream
->> Thick texture but feel light weight on the skin
->> Doesn't cause any irritation nor break out during the past few weeks of using it.
->> I love the finishing when I mix the bbcream with ZA skin brightener.
->> High medium to full coverage
->> Matte finishing
->> Even out complexion and minimize pores.
->> The bbcream might be too light for tan skin (around 3shades darker then me - I always used the lightest shade foundation - but some still feel abit too yellowish on me)
->> Even though the thick creamy texture does emphasize dry skin(on me for now).. but it feel quite moisturizing. 
->> Skin feel soft and supple - doesn't feel sticky
->> Oil control was pretty decent... doesnt greasy up easily!
->> Suitable for normal, combination to oily skin.

With simple eyemake up... using the Skin79 Simple Touch Eyeliner (I have a love hate feeling with this eyeliner... I need to try it afew more times before doing a review on it)

My brows have been getting thicker and thicker...

I applied highlight "almost" all over my face.... ahhahhaa... not really la!! Just set the bbcream with brightening(contain mica/shimmers) setting powder and ZA June Bride highlight powder on my upper cheek, nose bridge and forehead. (So that my face doesn't look too flat)

[New Launch]

Recently Skin79 launches Homme collection for men and they send me 2 products to "review"

They sent me the Homme Triple Action Beblesh Balm SPF 15 and Homme Gental wash to let the "man" try it out. My dad are pretty open to anything, so I will be passing both or maybe just the cleanser for him to try. (I wanna try the bbcream :b)

[Click to enlarge]

I believe most peoples who read my blog are mostly girls(please comment below or email me if you are a guy who read my blog. ^_^)...

Anyway, I will be trying out the bbcream cos it sound so good for "combination to oily skin" and also because of the shade(refer below)

Homme Triple Action Beblesh Balm SPF 15
Price:SD$22

This bbcream have alot of yummy ingredients for the skin(if it didn't put the "Homme" on the packaging.. I will totally want to try this!! Cos it's a non-sticky water-base bbcream, conceals pores/blemishes and control oil.

Ingredients list....

The texture and shade of the bbcream...
Before I open the tube, I thought the shade would be 2 to 3 shades darker then my skintone(since this was meant for men) and boy I was wrong! The shade was really pale, it's almost like a whitening base that will brighten up complexion.

When I first applied the bbcream on my face... my whole face look pale and "bright".. but after about 30secs or so, it set nto my skin shade. (Oil control was really decent.)

Have been trying this bbcream for a few days now and so far so good!!(Will do a review on this soon and I will try put it on my dad face and ask what he feel about it!)

Homme Gental wash
Price: SD$15

Ingredients list....

The texture of the facial wash.. When I swatched this at the back of my hand.. it feel minty and lathe really well.

Beside this 2 products, Homme also have sunblock, serum and skin booster.

The sunblock sound pretty good.. going to swatch it at Watsons(If I passes by one...)

Received a sweet surprise in the mail yesterday.

Oooh... baby!

From the release:::

->>> Made of natural ingredients
->>> Recommended for oily/ combination skin types, and is especially suitable for sensitive problem skin.
->>> Baby Soft. Light texture BB cream that leaves skin silky smooth, velvety and soft.      
->>> Skin Nourishing. Packed with vitamins and minerals such as proteins, carbohydrates and chlorophyll that feed nutrients to restore health and youth to the skin.
->>> Moisturizing & Soothing. Mulberry, Marigold, and Portulaca Oleracea (Purslane) extracts rejuvenate exhausted and rough skin, locking in moisture all day long.

[Note: This bbcream does contain Mineral oil, there's alot of saying about Mineral oil, but there are no real prove that it will be harmful to your skin. (I'm pretty clueless about it too!!! So, I just avoid it as a skincare products, because mineral oil won't penetrate into the skin, and it's most suitable to use as a last step of skincare routine to create a barrier to prevent moisture loss. Anyway, I simply love it when it's one of the ingredients in cleansing oil.]

Skin79 Lovely Girl BBcream - Price:: SD$21.90 (50g)
Exclusively available at selected Watsons stores.

I also received a sweet and lovely tin of shimmer powder (Not sure whether this is a retail item.)
