Bling, bling, baby!

No lies but I love anything that blings!

The bling-ier, the better!

So that brings me to a girl's best friend, DIAMOND!

Tell me, how many of you, girls out there, don't fancy diamonds at all?

Do I see a raise of hand?


We are all aware of blings like jewellery and diamonds. I am pretty certain, we girls, are aware of blings for the face too, right? Not bling as in sticking diamanté to your face or stuffs. Bling as in, making your complexion more radiance!

Did I hear anyone whispering GUERLAIN?

Yeah, the infamous high-end brain, Guerlain, no mistake!


Familiar? Erm... if your answer is a no to my question, consider the picture of the product below.

Convinced?


Guerlain Meteorites - you are right but sorry, this entry is not about Guerlain but something similar to it. I'm sure you've come across Guerlain Meteorites Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer if you've been around the beauty blogs since ages ago.


I'm not sure about it's price but I positively know it is gonna be hella expensive!

It's Guerlain, okay?!

You guys know what? There is always an alternative to high-end brands. So, Etude House was smart enough to come up with a product with similar packaging and claimed to deliver similar effect as Guerlain Meteorites Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer.

It is known as Etude House Precious Mineral Make-up Essence.


I don't know about you but I sure was attracted to the product when I first saw it on the shelf. I mean, yeah, the packing is pink and it is cute and Korean brands are well-known to have adorable packagings. So, I went over and picked up this product.


Yes, that is how the product looks like when you take it out of the box - shiny pink pearls and oh-so-purple cap. Is it me or something else that makes me think that the packaging of this product is oh-so-girly?

Yes, quite princessy and girly!


Up close and personal, this is how the pearls in the packaging looks like.

Good thing that this makeup essence comes with a pump.


I know how much all of us hate digging our nails into pot-packed products. There are times when tube products aren't our best friends so, pumps are always the best!

So, just like any typical girl, I've heard about Guerlain's meteorites but I've never tried it before so, I thought, this product would work similarly like Guerlain's meteorites. I tested it out on the back of my hand. At the time I was trying out this product at Etude House, I did not manage to snap any pictures but I did so when I got back home. Here are several pictures of the product out of the pump.


OMG... all pink and glorious! Upon pumping out the product, the product does glimmer in the presence of light but you can't see it in the picture.

I tried taking another close-up shot at the product but the glimmer just wouldn't show...


After a good application... here is a picture of the swatches...


On the whole, I don't know if you can see it, the side with the makeup essence looks shimmery. This product is supposed to add radiance to your existing skintone. I guess that is what the shimmery effect is for, right?

Then again, this product also promises a more lasting foundation or BB cream application.


I don't know about you but I don't think it does deliver what it claims. Within 2 to 3 hours, my foundation started to slide upon using this product. It also makes me feel oily and disgusting because I personally think this product this chalky upon application. The product doesn't dissolve easily and you need a good rub to dissolve it.

Even my Monistat Chafing Relief Gel does better than this makeup essence.

Just in case some of you are wondering, here's a picture of the ingredients.


However, there is one personal liking for this product - the fragrance!

I don't want to lie but this product smells really good - it smells of spring and flowers, if you know what I mean.


Hahahaha... Lame, right but I do like the scent of it... that will be my only plus point to it.

Okay, I've to warn you all to be ready for the next picture because it was taken right after I got out of bed and before applying makeup. I'm gonna show you the differences on my face - with and without the product.

Taa-daah...


Yikes!

Ugly!

Anyway, to be honest, I don't there is any differences on both sides. Take a good look if you need to. You may even click on it to enlarge the picture.


It did not make my skin looks more radiance or glowing but well... what can I say?

Luckily, I did not end up buying it or else I'll be the one regretting big time because it doesn't come cheap at all. At half of the price, you can get a product that works better especially if you have combination to oily skin like mine.

Stupid sister on the other hand, said the product is okay because she did not expect a lot from it when she bought it so, the disappointment level is quite low. I wasn't disappointed too but I didn't get it as well. LOLX!

But if you're interested, you can always head out to the nearest Etude House outlet and get a bottle of this essence to try it out yourself.

Pros
Nice fragrance and very princessy packaging. Hygienic because it comes with a pump! Not overly shimmery.

Cons
Product needs a good rub to dissolve. Feels chalky and oily. Doesn't last long, probably around 2 to 3 hours on combination to oily skin. Doesn't make my skin looks radiance or glowing at all.

Happy Witchin' Wednesday, people!

Pink dreams...

As I have forever been mentioning, I am trying to finish up my current products in possession because these products are mountain-ing from time to time even when I do not buy new products!

My main worry is my Etude House Sleeping Mask that remains un-finish-able even though I've been using it every two days consequently for more than 3 months!

This is crazy!!!

The other day, stupid sister bought MBD sleeping mask and she asked me to try it out to compare with my Etude House's mask. I wasn't very enthusiastic about it because I was getting annoyed at having to apply the sticky mask every two nightly.

Well... in the end, I did try it out several time and ended up liking the product more than my Etude House's.

I shall do a comparison of the two products today.

Both products come in pink packaging so, if you're NOT into pink products, you've to stay away from these. LOLX! Actually MBD has 3 different colours for the packaging depending on your main concerns. Stupid sister happened to buy the pink coloured one which is meant for dehydrated skin.

The products inside the packagings are pink as well, if you'd notice.

Etude House's mask looks slightly jellyish because it bobbles around like jelly whereas MBD's mask looks more solid.


As far as scooping goes... it was difficult to scoop Etude House's mask because since the texture is jellyish, the product keeps on falling back into the packaging. After a while, it becomes bothersome, so... no likey. Further more, there is NO scoop provided with the product!

When applied, actually, you can refer to the picture above for slight idea on how the products look like on your skin.

Etude House's mask feels sticky and thick, which some of you may like but not everyone will. Due to the stickiness, you need more product on your skin because a little bit isn't enough.

MBD's mask feels soothing upon application without the stickiness because the product isn't as thick as Etude House's mask - which, for me is good.


Etude House's mask takes longer time to dry up if compared to MBD's mask. So, if you're using Etude House's, you'll feel the sticky sensation for about 3 to 5 minutes before it dries up. MBD's mask on the other hand will dry up quite fast upon application.

Both products smell like flowers!

Anyway, I'm not gonna say one product is better than the other but I still prefer MBD's mask. I don't think I will be purchasing any more of sleeping masks because I do have an extra one in possession.

If you're interested, you can get it from Guardian or Watsons at RM39.90 each for MBD's sleeping mask.

BB cream collection

You know what?

I think blogspot is BITCHY!

I kept on trying to get the pictures in the correct orientation but blogspot memang MCB! It kept on auto-orientate my pictures and I couldn't even do anything about it! FML! I have intention to move my blog elsewhere already - any better suggestions besides xanga or wordpress?

Anyway, I shall do a research later.

I'm gonna share with ya'll my BB cream collection!

You know, back then, when BB cream first became famous in Malaysia, I went hype over it too. I even told my brother about it and he went, "What does BB cream stand for?" I told him it stands for blemish balm or beblesh balm. My sarcastic brother then replied, "Oh, I thought it stands for big breast cream - the cream you apply and then, your breasts will become bigger."

Yeah, right!

Anyway, after some time, I have decided not to tag along with the hype because my first BB cream was from Skin79 and I still have it because the shade is just too light on me and it gives the ghastly white effect.

No likey...

Then, I ditched the whole idea of purchasing BB creams for quite some time because I was hooked to my Stage Picture Perfect Foundation. I still am using this foundation if you are wondering.

Alright, let's talk BB cream language, shall we?

Okay, first product - Skin79 The Oriental Gold BB Cream Plus.


Do you remember me blogging that I don't really like it? Yes, I still don't like it even though when I first started using it, I was like, "Uh, it's an okay product."


I love the packaging of this BB cream because it's GOLD and yes, baby, I totally dig GOLD because I am materialistic.

Another thing that I adore about this product is because of this...


A beautiful rosy cream blush!

Yes, you didn't see wrongly - it comes with a cream blush, very subtle pinkish rosy blush!

However, there's one thing I don't like - the pump... It's messy!


On the whole, I don't think I will be re-purchasing this BB cream because I've decided to give up on it due to the lousy effect it has on me - gave this to stupid sister because she is obviously fairer than I am.

Price - I got it for RM80 inclusive of poslaju - well, don't think it's worth the money. There are definitely BB creams with better formula out there.

The second BB cream in my possession is Etude House Collagen Moistfull BB Balm.


Err... I have yet to start using this since I purchased it early this year... The reason why I bought it was because Etude House was having sales and instead of RM69.90 originally, I got this for RM49.90 only.

I am not sure how this product performs but we're gonna find out real soon, I promise!


It basically looks like the above picture... nothing spectacular about the packaging but I totally appreciate it that although there's one sponge included for the application, still, Etude House is kinda enough to include another free sponge in the product itself.

My third BB cream is from Etude House as well - Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream.


I guess quite a number of people raved about this product in the past. I heard from my students just few years back that this BB cream did wonder to their skin and they loved the effect. Back then, I wasn't so exposed to Etude House or anything, hence, I didn't bother to check it out too.


This BB cream is supposed to give sheer glowy effect if you'd notice. I am not sure how this thing performs because, it's still new.

I know, I have quite a lot of BB creams in my collection - I won't be opening a new one unless I am done with the current one. So, I guess I will start with the Moistfull BB cream first for now. This will come later.

This BB cream is retails at RM69.90 only. Well, this certainly is not the most expensive BB cream because I have seen BB creams from Lioele and Tony Moly that retail for around RM89.90 to RM120 or something like that. I got this for half of the price because, it was time of the promotion where you buy one, you'll get one free.

Last but not least - Hanskin Caviar Gold BB Cream.


I am not sure if you can find the review of this BB cream online or not because I have tried and the results of the searches all directed me to the tube form of this product but hey, this BB cream of mine doesn't come in tube form... it basically looks like this...


Bottle with pump!

There are differences between this packaging and the packaging in tube. The most obvious difference is that this BB cream that I own has SPF25++ whereas the tube form only comes with SPF21++ hence, you have to figure out where to google for it.

I am not sure where you can get this product because mine was given to me by my ex-boss. She went to Korea for a five-day trip and came back with this BB cream for me.

Not sure about the price too.

However, I was at CociCoci last week and although they don't have this particular product, they still have other range of Hanskin BB creams. Their prices? I think it's around RM89.90 to RM129.90 probably.

So, those are all the BB creams that I have now.

Which one should I start using first?

Problems with pores?

As much as I hate to admit it, I wasn't born with perfect skin nor do I have problem-free skin. When I was younger, I had had terrible acne outbreaks for several times and with oily skin, things weren't good as I started to develop habit of squeezing the acnes, pimples, whiteheads and also blackheads.

Over a period of time, I started to notice ugly, enlarged pores appearing right before me. Eeew... Back then, I knew for sure, I deeply regretted squeezing those monsters because if I didn't squeeze them, I wouldn't end up with the terrible skin that I have now - FML!

I guess it's never too late that I realize the problem I have - enlarged pores, pores, pores!

I changed my skincare products around 2 months ago to counter against my skin problem with the hope that these enlarged pores will be gone or maybe at least having the sizes decreased.

I was at Etude House earlier and I was kinda fascinated with this HUMONGOUS toner!

When I say HUGE, I do mean this product is damn huge! I kid you not! Just look at the picture taken below - I was comparing the size of this toner to the size of my face.


See... for this much product, you only pay RM49.90 per bottle - how can that be not worth it, right? The best thing about this product is actually NOT it's performance because I don't think it shrinks my enlarged pores at all, no, no, no...

The best thing about it is the smell - heavenly smell!

I am addicted to the smell.

Nah, here's the English version of the explanation on the packaging. Now, you must say I am nice, okay?

LOLX!


Anyway, let's move on into my personal thoughts on this product.

By far, I don't see any shrunk pores at all - I don't think this product is actually working on me. So, I don't think I will even bother to repurchase it since, yeah, right, a lot of product - worth it but hey, it's NOT working on me!

Before you jump into the conclusion and bitch the hell outta me, do bear in mind that I wash my face twice every day and that includes applying toner, serum and moisturizer so... no, that product still doesn't work.

On top of that Mini Size U Toner, I included this product as well!


It's the Tony Moly Floria Pore-Tightening Essence.

The BA kept on telling me this product for sure will work but it'll work even better if I were to purchase the whole range.


You're kidding me? Whole range costs for than SKII Facial Treatment Essence, hello! I am not idiotic enough to splurge on the whole range!

This bottle alone costs RM109.90 and I tell you, the serum costs around RM129.90 so if you're gonna splurge on Tony Moly, I'd advice you to go for SKII instead.


Again, these are just my thoughts - products that doesn't work on me, may work on you so, if you're curious, try it out but don't put the blame on me if it digs a hole in your pocket, okay?


Like I've said, second month into using it, still not much effect seen - no shrunk pores as well so... you know, I know...

Sighs...

It looks like Imma gonna need to save for SKII instead.

Etude House Moistfull Massage Mask

I am not a big fan of sleeping mask or whatsoever product that you need to apply before heading to bed because I know for sure, the product will stain my pillows as you know, yours truly has really bad sleeping posture.

Enough say.

When I first heard a close friend of mine raved about Laneige Water Sleeping Pack, I was curious how this sleeping mask thingy actually works.


I wasn't even aware of this brand at the time when it first entered Malaysian market but when that friend of mine purchase the whole line of strawberry yogurt skincare line, I did not even bother to try it out. She told me how amazing all those products were back then and her sister who used the Water Sleeping Pack told her that it was really good.

Well... typical me back then - one ear in, another ear out.

As age catches up with me, I've decided to indulge a bit in my skincare since I see fine crowfeet and also wrinkles already nowadays.

Like I've mentioned, I am not a big fan of sleeping masks or packs or yada, yada, yada but at the time when I visited Etude House, they were having promotion for this sleeping mask cum massage cum pack. LOLX... Basically, it's a product with 3 different usages - how amazing can it get, right?


Well... lemme just list down the directions of usages for this product just in case any of you are interested in it.

For massage - apply gel to face, massage for 2 to 3 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

For pack - apply ample layer to face, leave on for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

For overnight mask - apply ample layer to face, leave on overnight and rinse off.

So, that is the information that you'll find on the packaging.

My first impression on this mask was actually very predictable. I was drawn to it by the fresh floral smell of the product. You guys know how anal I am about smells. Even if a product works wonder and it smells horrible, it's less likely I will repurchase it unless it's something like overnight magic, then I may consider.


Anyway, the other reason that drawn me to purchase this product was because at the point of time when I purchased it, I was facing problem with flaking skin due to dehydration. I figured out since I was already facing problems with open pores and oily skin, it was less likely I was going to add another skincare product into my list.

Hence, the best way was to get something like sleeping mask. Coincidentally, Etude House was having promotion, so, I got the massage mask at RM19.90 only.

The texture of this product is something like gel. It doesn't feel runny and actually it was quite difficult to scoop up the product since the gel feels quite solid.

You don't really need a thick layer of product when you are applying because it does feel heavy upon application.

Another reason that made me purchased it was because - hey, this product was HUMONGOUSLY huge! No kidding, okay?! RM19.90 only for 180ml and no jokes - it can last you for at least half year even with daily application!!!

Remember? You don't need to apply a lot of product because a little goes a long way? So, normally, I only need the amount below for my whole face and neck as overnight mask.


I don't really fancy using this stuff as pack and massage purposes because normally after cleansing my skin, I don't like any other stuffs except for toner, serum, essence, eyecream and moisturizer to touch my face. I even hate it more if I need to cleanse my face for twice in a night because it'll strip off all the moisture!

Thus, to lock down the moisture, I use it as sleeping mask. The picture below is when the gel is being applied.


Upon application, I am not gonna lie - I didn't like it in the first place because it felt sticky - very, very sticky. I figured out it could be due to the fact that I've applied too much of the product. So, on my second try, I applied less and it still felt sticky.

So, after a while, I came to term with the stickiness of the product because I am loving the fresh floral smell.

The absorption is a little slow, probably it'll take like 10 to 15 minutes for the product to be absorbed by your skin and another 5 to 10 minutes for the stickiness to reduce.

~ I am definitely NOT naked ~

I was just comparing the size of the product to the size of my face. LOLX!

Well... honestly, after using it for the past 3 months, I can finally conclude that this is a product that you can really just forego. You don't really need it in my opinion because, well... it does nothing to my skin and booooo... I don't feel the moisturizing effect that the product promises and yeah, no improvement.

The thing I dislike about this product is - no scoop is given and yes, you've to dig the product using your fingers and it's NOT hygienic considering the product comes in HUGE amount that you're less likely gonna finish up in a month or so and the more you dig, the product will be more prone to be exposed to bacteria.

I don't hate it but it's just something you may want to skip if you're on tight budget because there are other products in the market that'll work better for you.

For me, I use it for the sake of using it. I mean, you have it, use it, that's all.

Pros
Affordable if you were to compare this to Laneige Sleeping Pack - a lot more product. Nice fresh floral smell that comes in pink packaging and pink gel content. Thick, so a little goes a long way.

ConsUnhygienic - please provide a scoop or change the packaging. Doesn't really provide any UUMPPH outcome upon usage. Product absorption is SLOW and it feels sticky and will remain sticky for quite some time.

Not to say I am dissapointed because I got it for RM19.90 at the time of promotion, so, yeah, I will still continue to use this product but God knows how long I'd need to finish it up. Let's cross our fingers and hope I don't dump this product away.

Price - RM39.90

Have a great working week, people!

Are you CLEAN?

Before you jump right into conclusion of what I am about to tell you, first and foremost, please go and brainwash yourself - as in literally, run cold water into your brain to freeze it so that your mind will not wander elsewhere. LOLX!

So, ladies, lemme ask you again, "Are you clean? Are you sure you're REALLY clean?"

I don't know about you but quite some time back, I was reading an article online where they discussed about exfoliation. Yes, no mistake, exfoliation, where you have to exfoliate especially during that time of the month since a lot of dead skin cells will be stuck to you for a week or so.

Eeeww... imagine dead cells on yourself - yucks!

This doesn't apply to your body only, it also applies on your face, in which, it means you have gotta change your skincare routine a bit - exfoliate!

The product I've chosen for exfoliation darn, now you know my dai yee ma is visiting! is Etude House Magic Bubble Peeling.


Reasons are simple. First, I got it at 50% discount and secondly, this thing is really gentle! Ah, it smells like vanilla ice-cream too, in which, I loike!!!

Did I tell you not? I love McD's sundae, so... I love vanilla, hence this thing smells great for me!


Are you wondering if this mousse thingy is gonna work?

Honestly, I was as skeptical as you are when I bought this product but I've decided to give it a try at only RM21. No complain or anything since RM21 is kinda affordable for a pokai student cum part-timer like me.

Okay, now, Imma gonna show you my naked and ugly face - don't tell me I've never shown my naked face to you because I'm a girl without a REAL face since I'm always found with makeup on!


I kinda like the foamy feel on my skin. LOLX! Yes, honestly, it does feel so gentle that I feel like pumping more and more product to slap on my face. Imma lovin' it, no joke and no play-play!

Okay, now comes the end products - the dead skin cells on my naked-makeup-removed-ugly face!


I'm sorry if I eew-ed and yuck-ed you - I was just trying to show you this gentle foamy thing does work in the exfoliation process.

Yes, the girl without a face is exfoliating so that she can look hotter! Hahahahaha! I like the phrase, "the girl without a face."

Personally, for me, as long as a facial product works, I'll continue using and will consider re-buying. I don't complain a lot but perhaps for this product, if it doesn't come at 50% discount, I won't be going back to get it since I'd say exfoliation products that go beyond RM40 is steep.

Price - RM21 after 50% discount
Product - 3.5 out of 5
Packaging - 3 out of 5
Availability - Etude House
Re-purchase - Most probably if there are more sales

So, after exfoliating, here comes one of the most essential regimes in skincare - facial mask!

I am in love with My Beauty Diary masks! All of them smell so, so good, almost edible! LOLX!

So, victim of the day is...


MBD Black Pearl Mask!

I'm not sure but stupid sister told me this mask is meant for whitening and maybe for ageing skin like mine. Okay, I don't age gracefully, at least I am honest.


I love the texture of the mask and comparing this to Etude House's masks that I've used, the essence is slightly thicker and well... it does absorb well, so, don't worry. Close your eyes for a good 15 minutes, sit back and relax - you'll realize absorption is a breeze!

As far as whitening goes, I am not sure since I'm not really into whitening range. I'll let you all know if it works, okies?

Price - RM2.80 since I got it at IBE at RM28 for10 pieces
Product - 3 out of 5
Packaging - 3 out of 5
Availability - Guardian, Watson
Re-purchase - Most probably

I'm done with reviews, hence... here comes photos of the day after exfoliation and of course, facial mask!


Oh, I love this hairstyle. I love how it could just be paired with any outfits and still, you'll never fail to look classy. No, I am not implying I am classy but I am implying that I am elegant! Hahahaha... Yes, I'm blowing my own trumpet so, if you can't stand it, scram as far as you could because I hate pretenders and I hate liars and jerks!


LOLX!!! I just realize my bra straps are peeking through but nevertheless, that isn't a big deal. In this case, just pretend like you don't see it.

Let's get all lippie!

I've been having this sudden excitement about finding a HG lip tint lately. I adore people with naturally born with rosy complexion that really makes their pink cheeks stand out even more but I do realize I don't have that gift and for sure, there'll be a product out there that'll make my lips shine through!

Well, I am right!

No, I don't really fancy Posietint after which I've used it for quite some time. As of Benetint, erm... I don't think I can afford to use it on everyday basis since the price of it doesn't come cheap.

So, I've discovered this!



55 Kissful Tint Chou from Etude House! Love, love, love, love, love!

Although this is not a multipurpose tint like Posietint or Benetint, still, I'm digging it! Yes, so, so digging it that I went back to Etude House and bought all the shades available!



Can you see how pigmented the tint is? OMG... This shade is #3, well... since I can't read Korean, I have to depend on the numbering. LOLX! I kid you not when I'm talking about how pigmented the product is!



Just look at my ring finger after application! The picture was taken after one hour of application and the pigmentation was still stuck on my ring finger!

I kept on checking the tint on my lips for it's lasting ability and guess what... it stayed there for around 3 to 4 hours before lunch.



After lunch, the tint did come off a little but you could still see a pigmentation at the side of cupid's bow. Hmmm... I'm not sure why but altogether, for only RM22.90, I can't complain much, right? More over, I got it at 50% discount, so, it means I bought it at RM11.45 only.

This tint does come with a little cherry scent with it. Hence, if you can't stand the smell of cherries, well... perhaps, this tint is not for you but I love anything that comes with nice flowery or fruity scent. Hence, it's a plus point for me.

The only thing that I don't think about it is that... the packaging. I'd prefer a similar packaging like Benefit's Posietint or Benetint - with a brush or sponge applicator instead of in tube but, that will not stop me from purchasing it in future since it's no big deal.

Etude House Hydro Wrapping Mask for Firming

I guess if you've been following my blog for quite some time, you will know I'm in love with Etude House's masks. Well, I did purchase quite a lot during their sales and promotional period - I am such a kiasu, okay?

So, Imma gonna talk a little about Hydro Wrapping Mask today.



Among the three types of masks on sales, I'd say this is the least favourite mask. The smell is pleasant but I tell you, if you face is not big or wide enough for the sheet to spread evenly, then, this mask is not for you.



Look at what happened to my mask in the picture above - my face isn't big and wide enough for the mask to be spread evenly. The sheet is too big whilst the texture of the paper mask is some kinda not so elastic and it doesn't stay on your face even when it's wet, like other masks do.

Craps... this is a totally crappy collection of masks that I own.

Me NO likey!

Price - RM12 for 5 masks
Product - 1 out of 5
Packaging - 4 out of 5
Availability - Etude House
Re-purchase - Heck, no - NO LIKEY!

Last batch of EH Hauls

I hate it when I cannot do what I've promised myself that I should be doing - I totally sucked at that... Now you know why I will forever in a BAN mode for purchasing stuffs - I've banned myself from shopping online and also from buying more clothes but I can never ban myself from buying too much cosmetics.

Hence, this will be the last batch of hauls from Etude House since their sales and promotion period ended already.

I can never get enough of facial primers and although I'm into matte finish, sometimes, I do get a little crazy and slap on glittery products on my oily face.

A good example would be this makeup essence from EH.


It's something like Guerlain's product but kinda different in the finishing look because this one is much shimmery and glittery, which for me, isn't a good thing but still, sometimes, just like Isabel has put it, "We all get something we don't really need once in a while." Truthfully, I agree with her!

EH's mono eyeshadow is really cheap - RM9.90 but I got it at 30% discount.


Not something I'll use everyday but then again, erm... we all buy something we don't need sometimes, right?

The following item is something I adore...


Blusher! I love, love and love blushers and I'm anal about them, don't you know? Hahaha... This shade is something like Stage's Snapdragon and also NYX's Angel. Now you know why I purchased it. For RM12, who would be complaining even if it's not pigmented enough, right?

I mentioned about I bought EH Collagen BB Cream.


I wasn't sure of the name, so, if you're interested, just refer to the picture above. I haven't officialize it, hence I'm not sure if it works great or not. But the reason for getting it was purely because there's collagen within the product!


Of course the bonus point is that, there's an additional sponge given inside the packaging. Great, this means I won't need to worry about spoiling the sponge, thus having to get a new one!

More of BB Cream-to-powder finishing BB Cream.


This one is adorable that you've gotta get it if it goes on sales again. If you're a Benefit fan and you've been using Gorgeous or whatsoever the name is... this is one similar product!

If you're craving for these limited edition babies, sorry... they're not in the market any longer...


Please don't hate me because I love them! LOLX! Reviews later since I'm not done with the current tints.

I have the tingling sensation of aloe gel on my skin especially after going out on a hot, sunny day!


Hence, this product suits me the most! Need I say more? It's aloe, baby, aloe!

Lip tints that I adore?


Get the 55 Kissful Tint Chou, I bet you'll be going back for more! LOLX! Reviews will come later because I adore this tint though it's not multipurpose!

Besides, I've also gotten facial masks.


I love these masks... well... yes, I love them. I guess I'll be repurchasing these masks even though the original price will shoot up to RM6.90 each in contrast to the promotional price of RM2.40 each.

Love is something you cannot explain, so... if I love it, I'll get it.

Last but not least, the last two pictures of the complete hauls.


Gonna go and get things done now...

Cheers for a wonderful day!
