Quick Review: Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow - No Pressure

(I'm back, i'm back. Sort of. LOL, been very busy with God knows what. And still trying to squeeze in blogging since this is one of the things i enjoy doing. So decided to "keep calm & blog on." Im keepin' it short and direct to the point as possible. So here goes..)

I got this sample/travel sized item from a haul months ago. I didn't really care about it and just tucked it inside the inner depts of my makeup kit. Wrong move!

Weeks ago i finally decide to give it a try, and good grief! Its amazing!

And now, i can't stop using it.

Urban Decay Ink For Eyes - Waterproof Precision Eye Pen

 Hey hey hey! I'm back! Sort-off. Still caught up with too much happenings in my life. But i've been dying to blog about this new eyeliner pen i got weeks ago!
It's the Urban Decay Ink For Eyes - Waterproof Precision Eye Pen. It's part of the Perversion Line they recently released. And this caught my eye, cause ever since, i was a pen liner person. It's just more convenient in terms of cramming to get ready and traveling. No need to bring a brush with you, just the pen.

This is my current HG (holy grail!) eyeliner!

Makeup, Remove~it!

We all know how important that we keep our faces clean all time, specially when we are about to go to bed, and take our beauty rest. Most specifically if you're like me, who loves to wear makeup when going out.It's a must that you clean your face free of makeup, so most of us have our own preferences on how we remove it. Here are some of my tried makeup removers, and my thoughts about them. They aren't exactly my HG products, but they are my steps to hopefully finding the best one for me out there.

Luckily for me, i got all these deluxe-sized samples so i cant try them out first before deciding to buy a fullsized. Perks of being a store owner. Though the Neutrogena i bought full-sized.

MAC Hoop Lipstick - Another MLBB?

 If you've been visiting my blog for quite sometime now, you know i am always on the lookout for MLBB (my-lips-but-better) shades. So when i was getting some orders from the MAC Cosmetics websites, i saw that they've made some most popular limited-edition shades permanent, the MAC by request 2014.

I immediately checked it out since it was one of the most requested shades, now there might be something in these shades to get all those girls cray-cray right?

The Search for the Perfect Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles 120 Light Pale

This is a long delayed post. It has been sitting as a draft weeks ago. Just been busy with all the family reunions and out-of-town trip and people having vacay in our house. So yes, i apologize again for my MIA~ness.

Weeks ago, i got 2 concealers recommended by Shayne of The Makeup Edition, both from Maybelline, cause i finally gave up on my Benefit Boi-ing. Let's talk about the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles first. That's a mouthful. And the name itself is promising. This concealer specializes in covering up the dreaded dark circles that makes us look like we have panda eyes. 

First Impression: MAC Pro Palette 4x Eyeshadows

And there i was in the MAC website, just browsing. When i came across this option where you can build your own 4pan eyeshadow palette. So i tried it out, just for fun. Searched for popular eyeshadow shades. And picked out my top 4. I wasn't really going to buy it, but the next thing i was doing was naming my palette, and the next thing i was conscious was when i was staring at the confirmation page of my order. Darn! And, i was hypnotized AGAIN!

FOTD: Frozen's Anna~Inspired

HELLO MAY!

And yes.. I am, also, affected by the Disney's Frozen Movie Craze. Well, thanks to my little girl who watches the movie non~stop, from our TV to her Ipad. You'll hear different parts of the movie echoing inside our house like 12hours a day. The only exception is when she sleeps at night, naps on the afternoon and watches Hi5 for a few minutes. And no, i am not exaggerating.

Pardon the picture quality, front camera used.

Actually, i'm hearing it right now as i write, she's in the part where Kristof and Anna is getting chased by wolves.

Heck, i've even memorised all the characters dialogues and songs! But for mommies like me out there, i'm pretty sure you can relate.

Mini Giveaway: TARTE Gold Mascara & Makeup Bag by SUNO

Ok, yes. I've been missing-in-action for a while. I was so busy with my OL Shop, so let me make it up to you by this giveaway. It's just a small giveaway to all my IG followers, customers, and blog readers.

I already have this Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara, and it's superb! No clumping and formula is great! So i'll be giving it to one lucky lady and a SUNO Makeup Bag.

Too Faced The Return Of Sexy Palette

WARNING: Sexiness overload! And the shimmers in this palette is not for the faint of heart.

The first real eye palette i bought!

This palette is basically a very convertible palette that will help you get through the day by providing you with a day-time look and enhancing it later to become a night-time look, with a step-by-step illustration guide. It also comes with a deluxe~sized primer (which i accidentally threw with it's box. I really don't want to remember that anymore), and a full-sized Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner. I will review the liner separately since it's too awesome to just be a small part of this post. 

BDJ Box April 2014 - PIXY (truly asian brand)

Sorry for abandoning my blog for more than a week. Been really busy.. and lazy. But i'm back!

After finally mustering enough drive to write again. I'll start off with my first BDJ Box Sub ever i received a few days ago. Can't even remember the exact date i got this, still too lazy to think..

And to my luck! It's a themed box! Is that what they call it? It's a PIXY exclusive box! My eyes where literally twinkling when i opened it up and saw all the pretty pink goodies inside. So many things! (I think i'm really loving this subscription box thing~y. Not good.)

April Mini Concealer Haul and more!

If you've read my Benefit Boi-ing review post here, you'll know that i'm currently on a hunt for a good concealer that will at least meet my expectations, e.g. "cover-up well"!

I was really meaning to get just the 2 Maybelline Concealers, thanks to a post by Stacey of The Makeup Expedition about here Top5 Concealers. Check it out here.

But.. I ended up with tons of products. Some free, some bought. But hey, we all have done this once in our shopping right? I may have done it more that once though, or every time? No judging.

Snoe Bedside BesoBalm

My night routine includes moisturising my hideous cracked lips, and when i forget to do so. I will wake up with uber dry and uhhhhg-ly puckers. I tell you, it gets so dry at times that when i smile it cracks and bleeds! (Am i a total weirdo? Or someone else experiences this as well. Please tell me this happened to you too.)

So if you wanna talk about lip balms, ehem, i can say i have much experience on that particular skincare product. Not an expert though, but very well experienced. I've tried a number of lip balms, lip butter, lip savers and lip whatevers!

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - 01 Light

I believe this is a delayed post. I just hit pan on this one and i think it deserves to be reviewed before we say our goodbyes to each other. A permanent goodbye, i must say.

When i diagnosed myself that i have catch the 'makeup-hoarder virus', this was one of the purchases i made on my first ever haul.

I got the shade 01 which is the lightest, at first i was pissed cause i think i've gotten the wrong shade, too light for my skin! It looks ghastly when i use it, you know the people in pictures with flash that has the white cast under there eyes, like it shouts: "hey i'm wearing a concealer today!" That's how it looks on me. Sucks.

Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Color 05 Mademoiselle

Since i've tried the YSL Rouge Volupte line, which came in the same price range as this Chanel one. I was really impressed with how nice high-end lipsticks perform. I fell inlove with my YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant in #9 Caress pink, review is here. I am considering getting some more with different shades. But i thought i should try another brand before i purchase the same product on another shade.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara (is it really better?)

For starters, i want you all guys to know that i am not a fan of mascaras. I can do without it, and most of the time i don't bother applying them. I've already gave up on my micro-lashes years ago and just let them be.

I really find it to be a drag applying mascaras, it's so hard to not screw up with this messy messy wands of ink. I always, and i mean always either poke my eyes with it or accidentally swipe to much and end up destroying my finished eye makeup.

Ironically, i have a lot of deluxe and travel-sized mascaras in my vanity, and they just keep on coming. Just like my newest addition, the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. So i'll do the honors to try them all out, and review them for you guys so they will be put into good use before they rot in my vanity kit.

According to Too Faced:

Take home our Better Than Sex mascara and all your desires for lush, incredibly intense lashes will be fulfilled. One application of our collagen-fueled formula and touch of our specially shaped brush will leave you begging for more. One coat and lashes are full, defined and stretched to unbelievable lengths. Two coats and they’re reaching unbelievable heights of drama. Three coats and you’ll believe in magic.

MAC Powder Blush in Ambering Rose

I wanted to talk about my first MAC Blush! So this is kinda special. :) I know, i know, so lame that i only have one, YET. Before i was kinda a one-blush-at-a-time girl. Until i was exposed to the magical and colourful blush world.

I normally go for the pink, matte shades. So at the time i purchased this blush, i was in my adventurous-self and decided to stray away from my usual shade picks. I bought this blush together with my NARS Blush in Orgasm (review here). That one is a peachy-pink shade, which i also don't have in my blush collection. If you can call 3 blushes a collection, that is.

The MAC Ambering Rose is part of the SS variant (sheertone shimmer), meaning it has shimmers in it. I don't hate shimmery formula as long as its really fine, otherwise it will emphasize my pores or worse, makes my face look like there have been an oil spill.
Thankfully, the MAC Ambering Rose has really fine shimmers in it. It just gives me a subtle golden glow.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser

Hey guys, sorry for the no post days. Been very busy with family affairs and closing a batch of US Preorders on SumWear Co. Beauty Store.
Do forgive me for neglecting my blogging duties.

Going back to talking about makeups and beauty obsessions, i wanted to talk about a certain skincare product. Specifically a cleanser, the Philosophy Purity Made Simple.

Telling you a few things beforehand, i am really not into skincare that much since i believe i am gifted with clear and most of the time, zit-free face. But mid last year, i decided to give my skin some love in return of being so behaved, in hopes that it will be more flawless thus giving me the purpose to buy a Clarisonic Mia2 (review here.) And because i can be so obsessed with a specific product before i buy one, i researched on a good cleanser to pair my Mia2 with.
Resulting me to get the Philosophy with it. (That was a long intro. Jeeez!)

Tips on using your Clarisonic Mia2 - My 6mons. Experience

After a few months of kind-a religiously using my Clarisonic Mia2 Sonic Cleansing System, i am now confident enough to write a review regarding its effect on me for the past few months of use. I don't usually write a review on my first use of a certain thing, i usually test it out a few days or weeks, or like in this case, took me half a year. You can't really tell all good and bad things about it if you just wear it once right? Specially when it comes to skincare, most results show up after a period of time and not instantly like makeups.

NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel

Sorry for being MIA for a few days, my blog-writing noodles are not working recently. And it's still not working fine right now. Oh well..

  Just to keep me occupied and distracted from that thing that i don't want to think about. Here's a quick post about one of my recent purchase.

The NYX Butter Glosses are the talk of the blogging town lately, and i believe these are just newly released. I spotted it on a NYX Boutique that day, but sadly there is only Apple Strudel available, and another one that didn't make an impression on me, in short i can't remember! I was really hunting the for Peaches and Cream, oh well. (again!)
