Everything I want to say has been said by practically everyone else. SO JUST GO BUY IT! NOW! I don't understand the reviews with 1 to 2 lippies? The brush you have is probably a dud. So go buy another one! NOW!

Primer/ Corrector -MAC - Prep + Prime Skin
appletiss 6/13/2012 2:25:00 PM
This primer creases ALL the foundations I wear, doesn't matter drugstore or high-end. All my foundations look wayyy better alone than on top of this primer. Huh, what? Isn't a primer supposed to enhance my foundation? Blah! I don't like it. Period. Won't repurchase. Well then again what works for me might not work for somebody else and vice versa! That being said... The MAC Prep+Prime Skin comes with and without SPF. I have no idea why I bought the one without as they both cost the same. The product is not runny nor creamy it just just a dallop of white stuff of a wonderful consistency. It applies nice and smooth onto the skin with slight shimmer that is only obvious if you stare into the mirror and tilt your head about for at least 10 seconds. Eh. I don't know what to write anymore. Can't find any more nice things to write so ahh.. Lets just stop here. Bye!

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup
appletiss 6/13/2012 2:00:00 PM
The Revlon Colorstay Foundation stays true to its name. The colour literally stays!! I fell asleep with my makeup on the other day and when I woke up I was delighted when I saw that my skin looks almost perfect but then I remembered I came home drunk last night and didn't bother to wash up. :( Anyway for a full coverage foundation, it does what it does. I don't even use concealer with this foundation. Yup, that good. But then it does feel a little heavy. I am consciously aware that I am wearing makeup when I go about my day. It smells like paint and the texture is like paint too but that doesn't bother me much. I am an NC35 and I use the shade 310 (can't remember the name). It is not exactly my perfect shade but in Singapore, we only have 6 shades to choose from which bloody jolly hell sucks because I know the colorstay is available in like 20 over shades probably everywhere else in the entire world! GEEZ. I use a flat top kabuki brush to buff it into my face, taking a record-breaking 20 seconds maximum to get it done because it dries up fast! It settles sticky so I lightly dust over my finishing powder. I use the combination/oily type and it appears that I get a in between a matte and dewy look after about 5hrs. Whatever. Better than my usual discoball face. The packaging is... mediocre. It is alright I guess, but it can do better. A pump would be awesome thank you very much. Oh by the way you will need a waterproof makeup remover to get this foundation off your face. Yup. Hope this helps. :)

BB Cream -Skin79 - Super+ BB Cream Pink Label
appletiss 6/12/2012 5:35:00 PM
I was a BB cream junkie. At one point of time I had 10 different BB creams of different brands as I believe in just slapping on one product onto my face instead of layering and layering (i.e. toner, moisturiser, serum, sunscreen, etc.) so much crap atop my skin. I gave in to the hype and bought Skin79's pink label a few months back at a local drugstore. Actually I would consider myself quite thrifty.. I normally wouldn't bat an eyelid at such an expensive product (SGD35-ish) when I can get a high-street product at around the same price range. But the pump bottle is cute.. And it is pink... So...... Anyway I LOVE THIS BB CREAM!!!!!! It is now my HG bb cream and I have dumped out all other nonsense that is undeserving of my loyalty. This bb cream is thick yet blends very well on my skin. I just use my fingers. No fuss. It leaves a dewy finish yet it does not look oily. The grey/white cast that is associated with bb creams? What grey/white cast? I haven't noticed any. I lightly dust over my finishing powder and I'm good to go. It claims it is whitening/brightening.. Well that is true I guess? Since it has SPF34++? My face loves this shit. My skin looks like a baby's butt. My face has never been in a better condition. Flawwwwless. Fyi I am NC35 just for reference. Also I have moderately oily skin. Hope this helps.

Toners -Eucerin - Dermo Purifyer
appletiss 5/3/2012 4:22:00 AM
This is my first Eucerin product and I don't like it at all!! It smelt like I just poured alcohol all over my face (#2 in ingredient list wtf). I have combi skin with oily oily oily T-zone and this lime green concoction did absolutely nothing but made my face feel sticky! I have generally clear skin with some blemishes here and there that does not really bother me, I am not super anal about that. I think blemishes make me look human haha. Ok but after a week of usage, I developed these annoying little red zits all over my cheeks. Thanks Eucerin! So if you say my this toner isn't suitable for my skin type let me juat tell you that I already gave this toner away to my lil sis, she has terrible acne prone skin so lets see how it works out for her.. You will be hearing from me soon.. I'll be back!
