Palettes -MAC - Royal Assets: 6 Warm Eyes
zalime 7/3/2012 11:14:00 PM
I recently rediscovered this in my makeup collection. I must say i love CLUB! It is very unique colour with triocrome, a mixture of brown, green & a bit of red. How amazing! Pat the shaow will show more of the green tone, if you blend it well, more of the brownish colour will show. that makes wearing e/s easy as u are only using one e/s but it gives the effect of multi-shadows! i got the palette from duty free and it was around 30 quid. Im not entirely sure cuz its from ages ago haha LOVED the cute packaging. It's the main reason i got the palette lol

Eyeliner -MAC - Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel in Blacktrack
zalime 7/3/2012 11:00:00 PM
HANDS DOWN THE BEST GEL LINER! ive also used bobbi brown's and that dries up in the pot quickly. ive been using this mac baby for over 2 years and the pot is still going strong :D altho i ll have to admit it smudges a little at the end of the day cuz i never use primer n i have rather oily lids. oh wells.. i ll just smudge it out n make it a more smoky look lol. Removal is easy. i use either clinique's take the day off or body shop's camomile gentle eye makeup remover

Lip Treatments -Murad - Murad Energizing Pomegranate Lip Therapy SPF 15
zalime 1/15/2012 9:42:00 AM
I got a small tube as sample and i have a love/hate relationship with it. It smells yummy and gives a shiny, glossy finish with a hint of redness. However, it becomes messy when it got stuck with your hair in the wind! Staying power is good if you dont eat or drink. I would stay up to 2+ hours. It does moisturize my lips and with this on, i dont need to wear lipgloss/stick! {edited} it dried my lips out! made them patchy :( gna chuck this away!

Cleansers -The Organic Pharmacy - Peppermint facial wash
zalime 1/15/2012 4:37:00 AM
Im currently using on the second bottle. Tbh i wasnt that impressed with it at the beginning but since i got 2 bottles at one time so i was like 'well i need to go through them'. luckily, this turns out to be a really nice face wash. it isnt drying at all and as the others have said it doesnt form foams, which i find less harsh on my delicate skin. The pump doesnt work on my 2nd bottle and i hate that fact that the bottle is made from glass which got broken in the shower... i dont know if its the weather or my diet or this little guy, my blemishes seem to have minimized. yayyy! this peppermint facial wash does take quite some time to see the effect. Have started using the 2nd bottle in june and its now january, still have about 1/4 to go! dont think i will re-purchase tho as the clinique face wash is less pricy and does the job in a shorter period of time.

Palettes -E.L.F. - 32 Piece Eyeshadow Collection
zalime 12/28/2011 10:20:00 AM
I was looking for a deep-red, burgundy e/s for xmas and probably would only use it once so i didnt want to spend too much on the shadow. I saw this palette at urbanoutfitter and the price shocked me. JUST 5 BUCKS for 32 colours and i thought if urbanoutfitter sells it, it couldnt be that bad? Also, they look promising in the pan so i didnt hesitate and bought the palette. I actually like it a lot. Though i have to admit some colours are chalky hence harder to apply but the pigmentation is good in general. Day to night looks can easily be created with just one palette! And the palette is a lot smaller than the packaging it came with. I still like it cuz its really compact and convenient with the mirror. I got 2 more from elf's website (another cool and a warm). However, the quality wasnt as good; eg the far right golden colour isnt as sharp as the one i got from UO. And some shadows got fingerprints on them before i opened it! :( And elf.com doesnt do return/ refund.

Mascara -Max Factor - Masterpiece Max
zalime 12/27/2011 4:40:00 AM
I got mine like 2 or 3 years back then and never have a major problem with it. It gives a very nice and clean looking. Does a good job in separating lashes as to define them. Doesnt clump but u do need to wait til it dries before u apply another coat or else it would def clump! Staying power is okay but it does smudge after 5 hours or so. (or maybe it was my eyeliner?) Will keep looking for other mascaras as i want fuller lashes

Moisturizers -Clinique - Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
zalime 12/27/2011 3:44:00 AM
I rotate my face cream according to the season and I always come back to this in winter time. However, sometimes i do think this is not enough as my face does feel dry in the middle of the day. (I only put on face cream at night, though) Overall, i do like this product as i have back-up for this and have been using this product on-and-off for more than 2 years!

Liquid -Bourjois - Healthy Mix Foundation
zalime 12/27/2011 3:38:00 AM
After hearing all the good things about this foundation, i finally got my hands on it couldnt wait to try it on. It comes with a pump, which i like for all my cosmetics and it feels more hygienic, and the fruity (peachy?) smell is actually quite nice, not overwhelming at all. However, i found the foundation is not that moisturizing as it showed batches of my dry skin. Also, colour range is kinda poor, if you ask me. I am in-between shades, 53 & 54 and i opted for the darker one cuz i often get tanned in the summer, anyways. I did ask the lady at the counter about the number indication in terms of colouring, she said 1, 3, 5 are for cool toned and 2,4, 6 are for warm-toned. Whoopies, i am a NC25 so 53 might actually suit me better. I really want to love it but i am not entirely sure about this :/ Should have tried at the counter before buying, tho.

I like the cooling effect but honestly this product does nothing to reduce puffness/ dark circles etc. Waste of money!

Tinted Moisturizer -Laura Mercier - Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20
zalime 12/1/2011 1:46:00 AM
I love this tinted moisturizer! It's super sheer but still managed to do a good job at evening my skin tone + minimizing the appearance of pores. Unfortunately, it does not cover up my acne scars. However, it feels super light on my skin and is dewy which makes my skin glow in a nice and natural way. I'm NC25 and sand suits me perfectly. This is a bit pricy, though.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Blueberry Body Butter
zalime 11/16/2011 12:47:00 PM
My fav body butter! It smells so good that i wanna eat it heh. It is very moisterizing and absorbs quickly to my dry skin. I just love it but i think it is not a regular product cuz i dont see if on the shelf all the time at body shop ;( I kinda want it in a pump size (if body shop ever produce body butter in that) It would feel more hygienic as the lotion exposed to air/ bacteria is minimized.

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash
zalime 11/16/2011 12:42:00 PM
I got it in a sample with the Glamour UK magazine. It gives such dramatic look with the big brush. My lashes look fuller and really black. But it gets clumpy and be messy. Dont think i ll purchase the full size.
