Blush -NARS - Angelika
umalin 6/22/2008 10:16:00 PM
this is so far my favorite pink blush! initially i go for other Nars pinkish colors because seeing all the reviews, i'm afraid Angelika will look too dolly/sweet for my age. But after tried Desire and Mata Hari, i'm not very impressed with both colors: Desire is too bright pink on my face and Mata Hari too dark. At last i decide to give Angelika a try...to my surprise this pink is really nice and natual on Mac NC25 (warn undertone) skin and the shimmer is not too obvious. Love this blush. Will purchase again if used up!

Blush -NARS - Creme Blush in Cactus Flower
umalin 5/18/2008 11:04:00 PM
This cream blush is fresh and beautiful when apply thinly on the cheeks. The shade is very unusual...something like light Fuji apple color on NC25 skin tone... Compare to MAC cream blushes, Nars cream blush is much easier to blend with fingers and the finishing is not sticky at all (Stickiness is something i don't like about MAC cream blush) Great blush think i'll purchase again.

Blush -NARS - Sin
umalin 5/18/2008 1:56:00 AM
This is an interesting color...not the usual peach and pink blushes... a more sophisticated berry tone, and the hue of golden shimmer add more depth to this low-key color. Looks natual on MAC NC25 Asian skin (warm) Will buy again if i ever use up!

BB Cream -MISSHA - M Perfect Cover BB Cream
umalin 5/12/2008 9:12:00 PM
this is something great! for ladies who doesn't need lots of coverage, this is the perfect solution for natual daily look! SPF42 is good enough for tropical countries like Singapore, the texture is light so i still feel comfortable in humid weather, and it will slightly tune the dull skin tone to make it much brighter (and still look natual as if not wearing make up!) Great stuff. This this is the best thing that invented by Koreans!

Eye Shadow -NARS - Habanera Duo
umalin 5/11/2008 10:23:00 PM
Habanera Duo has beautifal colors....just maybe it's not for me. What happen is, normally i don't wear much make up: only tinted moisturizer, mascara and blusher. No lipstick at all. Habanera colors looks too strong with my daily look. Think not very practical for me becoz i'll have to put on foundation and lip color in order to make it work...which is too heavy for my liking. Have decided to SWAP it

Blush -MAC - Beauty Powder in Sweetness
umalin 4/30/2008 10:26:00 PM
Very sheer texture and with little bit of shimmer....so nature looking! Quality is much better than the sheer tone ranges. But you have to apply quite a few layers to see ths color. Initially i was trying the Dollymix which was recommanded highly in MUA, but didn't find the color very nice on my face. Then the SA show me Sweetness and say this will look great on me. The color looks exactly the same as Nars Desire in the pan, just add a little shimmer, but once try on the face i was truely impressed with it. It is much more sheer and nature...really better than Nars Desire! For refences i'm Mac NC25. Not very fair, but this pink still look ok on my warm tone skin. will purchase again!

This is good: very soft pink. Pigmentation is great too: easy to blend and smooth to apply on. It looks exactly same color as MAC Pinch O'peach and win out in the quality. Will most likely purchase again! Ref: NC25 Asian

Blush -NARS - Desire
umalin 3/24/2008 1:24:00 AM
this color is very similar to Mata Hari on my face (NC25 MAC) can see slightly more pinkish, while Mata Hari is more rosy .....think a little too cute for my age? not in the bad way but just not very used to it may not purchase again Edit: Recently I bought a MAC beauty blush (sweetness) The color looks almost the same as Nars in the pan, but when applied on the face the effect is so much better!

Blush -MAC - Sheertone in Pinch O'Peach
umalin 3/18/2008 10:27:00 PM
finally found a great soft peach color ! i'm NC25 MAC (with warm peachy undertone) all the highly recommanded peach color blushes turns orangy on my face (ex: NARS Deep Throat) first time i see this blush i was wondering to myself: no way it can be peach! it looks like soft/light pink in the pan! however i was at the airport so nothing much to do, so let the SA help me brush on my face...and i was so surprise it turn out to be very nice peach! Due to the sheer texture, it can be built-on if apply a few more layer. it is easy for application too coz not so easy to "over-do" great product. will repurchase when use up (if i don't find something even better ) Edit: After a few use, i find the texture of this blush is not smooth enough. Have found a better replacement with same color: Shu Uemura Glow On blush M Pink31

Blush -NARS - Mata Hari
umalin 3/18/2008 9:26:00 PM
this is the 3rd NARS blush i have (after Exhibit A and Deep Throat) it's nice rosy pink with purple undertone. looks natural on NC25 skin tone. may not repurchase coz should be able to get much cheaper replacement for same results Edit: After tried more Nars blushes, i realize all those one with shimmers are much nicer. Mata Hari is not bad but it's not a very special produduct. I find myself reach out to Mac beauty powder Sweetness on days when i want to have more pinkish looking cheeks... Decide to put it on SWAP list

Liquid -Jane Iredale - Liquid Minerals
umalin 3/5/2008 8:51:00 AM
Having sensitive skin means all the foundation i used before caused me breadkouts. then recently i saw quite a lot of online discussion about mineral makeups so decide to give it a try~so far so good. somemore the product quality is amazing. i'm the lazy type so lots of time doesn't even put lose powder on (imagine in the hot and humid weather in Singapore). this foundation can still stay bright and matt without any touch ups. great product. will repurchase !
