Lip Treatments -Shu Uemura - Deepsea Moisture Lip Serum
midnight_plue 11/17/2008 2:10:00 AM
I have chapped lips. And it's dry. T_T Tried a lot of balms but either it didn't really work or the effect is something I am not too happy with, only a few manage to pass the test. I bought this along with the Midnight Sakura eye palette. I tried on the spot, but didn't quite feel much effect, maybe my lips that time were so dry and chapp-y that nothing can save it unless I go home, drink water and sleep. But one thing was, the dry flaky part of the lips was gently exfoliated off when I massage it in, and it wasn't painful, nor made me bleed. I guess it's because it moisturizes really well, so dead skin cells are lift off easily. I decided to give this a shot, since I am already there and most lip balms don't work on me, so why not? RM85 per tube. If this works, I never need to buy another balm again! Think of how many pots of lipbalms I'd save up on! :P The night I went back I gave myself a good shower and everything, and gently exfoliate my lips with a soft toothbrush. And then I quickly apply this. And you know what? I feel like as though I am massaging in droplets and droplets of water onto my lips! No stickiness, no fragrance, no white cast, no dryness! Just totally supple and smooth looking lips! This is my Holy Grail! Seriously! But before I get into hyper mode, I hit the sack. The next morning, still the same soft lips. Loving it! Got out of bed and clean myself and everything I use the lip serum again. My lips hardly chapped at all the whole day. Imagine my delight! And all you need it is just a pea size or smaller for lips. One tube can last me for 2 or 3 months, I think, since I only use it morning and night. :D for more reviews, please head over to http://pinkyplue.blogspot.com

Palettes -Shu Uemura - Mika Midnight Winter Sakura Holiday 2008
midnight_plue 11/17/2008 2:04:00 AM
i bought Midnight Sakura the moment it was launched in Malaysia. I swatched all colours, and they are all very pigmented, and the texture is silky smooth! For the price I paid (RM195), it's pretty pricey, but for the quality, it beats a lot of other brands :) Packaging wise, I only like Midnight Sakura, not so much on Marguerite or Rose. They look a bit tacky to me. But I will be getting Secret Luscious Rose, it's too pretty! Marguerite's colour is a little too bold for my taste, so I'll be skipping that.

Moisturizers -L'Oreal - hydrafresh moisturizer (oily skin)
midnight_plue 7/11/2008 3:14:00 AM
it's in a gel form, green in colour. :) moisturizes the skin nicely, for my kind of skin, combination of normal to slightly dry on the cheeks and oily on the T-zone. light scent, nothing too irritating. after applying, it doesn't leave a sticky film. :D downside is that this has got no spf >_< going to go for my 2nd jar. once finish, might try something else. i get bored easily. hehe.

Toners -L'Oreal - Hydrafresh Toner
midnight_plue 7/11/2008 3:09:00 AM
overall, the product is nice. the green bottle soothes the eye. hehe~ moisturizes the skin, leaving a nice cooling feeling on it. :) but other than that, nothing much. i will shift between this and nivea refreshing toner (deep blue bottle) sometimes when i use this, i get a tingling sensation, wonder why >_<

Eye Shadow -T'estimo - Layered Impact Eyes eyeshadow quad summer 2006
midnight_plue 7/7/2008 6:04:00 AM
My first product from T'estimo and I'm hooked! I got this in 01, a neutral shimmery brown shade. Great for everyday wear. I gotta raved how good is this! I applied the colours around 7am, and now coming close to 6pm, colour hasn't fade a bit, no creasing at all, it look exactly the same like how i applied in the morning! and to top it off, i had no base or anything on my lids! do note that i have combi-oily skin, my lids are quite oily too, but with this, it's a winner! too bad t'estimo is DC, i'm real sad for not getting these earlier >_< i really wanna get my hands on the other colours too!

i love pink grapefruit! from body wash, to body butter to perfume to lipbalm! love it! the smell is quite light, quite sweet. when i lick my lips after applying (i can't help it LOL) it taste like sugar applied on my lips i'm neutral with the packaging, most lipbalms are like tat, so i'm not bothered. it's quite moisturizing, and very cheap! will definitely repurchase!

Sunscreen -Biore - UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+
midnight_plue 5/30/2008 5:04:00 AM
Texture wise is smooth because it's in liquid form. It's white in colour too, but goes on transparent once applied on skin. It's has a light smell, but nothing too heavy or horrible. It disappears almost immediately once applied. Upon application it feels a little greasy, but given 10 to 15 seconds, your face feels powdery and smooth ! And the best part, no white residue! I bought this due to the fact that it has oil control properties and it does it very well! I used to have very shiny T-zones in 1 or 2 hours, but with this, I keep my skin relatively matte and minimal shines for 3 or 4 hours! It doesn't break me out too, and neither I got any skin problems after using it. For those who have normal to dry skin, please make sure that you hydrate or moisturize your skin well before using this sunblock. As mentioned, this sunblock has very strong oil control properties, you definitely wouldn't want your skin to get flaky or gets drier than normal. But for people like me who has normal to oily skin, it's a life saver indeed! This is a very cheap sunblock and one small bottle can last quite a while. :D I've already bought another bottle to stock up! So be sure to grab it if you see it! It's definitely worth the money!! taken from my own blog - http://pinkyplue.blogspot.com

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit Body Butter
midnight_plue 5/22/2008 9:44:00 AM
Love the zesty, fresh grapefruit scent! It smells so good that you feel like licking it off! Very fresh in the beginning, feels very summer-like. The lasting power is not as strong as Strawberry. >_< But it's still good though! texture is a creamy runny, unlike the creamy paste of Strawberry, no idea why this happen >_< Absorption is best when applied on damp skin. On dry skin, it feels like as though you slap some lotion onto ur skin and it stays put whole day. A bit heavy for day use, but if you are always in air-conditioned room, it's okay then. Moisturizes quite well. :D For the price, I think I would wait till mid year sales. A big tube can last for almost a year I think since you don't need much to put on ur body. Too much of this becomes greasy and sticky >_<

Love the sweet strawberry scent! It smells so good that you feel like licking it off! Very sweet in the beginning, and then slowly it somewhat become very... sexy kind of a sweetness... and lulls you into deep sleep. texture is a creamy paste, not as runny as Pink Grapefruit, no idea why this happen >_< Absorption is best when applied on damp skin.
