Rimmel London - Provocalips 16HR Kissproof, Foodproof Lip Color

Who doesn't like Lipstick that last for at least 8 HR?

Today I am going to share my view on this particular Lip Colour, I actually interested in this product because I always watch Judy (Itsjudylife) and she shared on this product in her itsjudytime channel. It got me all interested in this one, since I am always the lazy one to touch up my lipstick after eating or whatsoever.

So I bought in HEARTHBREAKER color, this is my swatch

    

I gave a try on one fine day and I went to eat Ramen at Boxer Ramen since I, Asian miss my Asian food here in USA. Hoping that this lipstick is going to last after my meal (fingercrossed), so I ate the noodle like nobody business, ate carefreely without purposely avoiding the noodles or soup have direct contact with my lips. But Hey...it is a test for Rimmel Provocalips, right?  

 

The Ramen is pretty OILY :)

After devouring the ramen (I just can't finish the food portion here...it is just too much), I checked on my lips...oh boy...oh boy....it doesn't really stay last throughout my ramen time. The middle section of my lipstick just gone....the side lipstick still intact...just the middle section was gone. Maybe the food was too much oily. It does not last on Ramen.

After the Ramen ~~

Pro:
1. It is super pigmented lips color
2. It is true non-transferrable once you apply it
3. Foodproof?? Maybe NO for oily food....if burger or sandwiches or soup perhaps it might last
4. Kissproof: YES
5. Affordable price

Cons:
1. A little dry after application but if you apply the Lock & Shine...it makes it much better and moisturize
2. Not so Foodproof on oily food
3. Not available in Singapore or SouthEast Asia

But I still like it so far! Love the color and the fact that it is Non-transferable means Kissproof, baby~~~

Review: Lorac Skinny Palette in NUDE

Another Viral Palette on Instagram that I spotted 2 months ago, since I followed a lot of beauty instagramer (to get inspired on their look and stuffs) and I really like the NUDE palette by Lorac which is limited edition and it is SOLD OUT everywhere (Lorac website, Zappos, and Hautelook). Luckily I managed to get mine on Hautelook while they re-stocked it (I think mine is the second batch of Hautelook stock), without any further consideration, I purchase 3 of the palettes which is NUDE, NAVY and PLUM

But today I am going to introduce the NUDE palette only, the other two will be in the other post :)

Here is the pic and swatches:

The box and Packing

Love the colors

Close up of the gorgeous color

Swatches (Room Lighting, No Flash)

I only use the Copper Gold color and the Light Brown (3 from Left) as transition color

What I said:

1. Love all the colors esp the Copperish-Gold color (the 3rd from Right), I can use it on its own (very coppery)

2. Less fall out

3. Great Pigmentation esp with eye primer

4. Very versatile palette (DEF my palette On-The-Go)

5. Very Reasonable price

6. Love the packaging, it is so slim (just like it said SKINNY) and light-weight. Easy to carry it around.

7. The only cons is Lorac should not make it as Limited Edition, should keep on producing it. All the color is Gorgeous!

Re-purchase:

YES, if they are still available

Review: Miss Hana Waterproof Eyeliner Np. 2 Galaxy Black

It is difficult to find a great waterproof eyeliner which doesn't smudge. But then I FOUND it!


Ta-DA it is MISS HANA WATERPROOF EYELINER.


I found it back in 2011 while I still stayed in Taiwan and I am using it until now. I always ask my friend who come to visit me here in Singapore to buy for me (stock up time). This eyeliner for me NO doubt is the best so far; Long lasting, anti-smudge, anti-sweat, anti-oil and most important it is easy to glide on (NO JOKE since my eyelids get oily easily) haha. Now I have like 8 pcs in stock (can tell how much I love this eyeliner, can't live without it) even though I have The Body Shop, Lancome, Holika Holika pencil eyeliners, most of them only last for the good 5-6 hours, unlike Miss Hana Waterproof Eyeliner, it lasts for good 8 hours.


It comes in 4 shades which are Night Black, Galaxy Black, Choco Brown and Golden Brown.


I always get the No.2 Galaxy Black which is Black color with some glitter in it





It is very dense Black Color


What I said:
1. It is Long lasting, Anti-Smudge, Anti-Oil, Waterproof eyeliner.
2. Lasts for good 8 hours (in my skin)
3. Easy to glide on because of its creamy texture
4. Easy to remove with eye makeup remover
5. Price is reasonable for its great quality
6. The cons is It is not easy to sharpen it, your sharpener must be real sharp or else it will be ruin. And don't even think about sharpen it using cutter, definitely will RUIN it. I think because of the creamy texture so it is not that steady.

So I vote it as The BEST Pencil Eyeliner EVER!!!


Hopefully I can find it in Singapore with reasonable price :P Please let me know if anyone sell it in Singapore

I am back with eye-shadow review again, I am really an eye-shadow junkie. I am not professional makeup artiste or in that industry but I own like almost 10 palettes LoL. I love love love eye-shadow palette, that is why my bff always tell me to stop buying for a while haha, sometimes it is so difficult to resist those gorgeous looking palette. I believe all beauty junkie are same with me, right?? (try to get supporter) haha

Well, today I am gonna share my review on Urban Decay Smokey Palette. My Bff bought this for me as surprise gift! *happy I have this for quite some time but I just feel like doing review on it. 

I L.O.V.E this palette so much because I like to do Smokey eyes make-up and if you do like smokey eyes make-up then this is the one that you can rely on. 

It comes with zipper so it is well secure

Amazing colors and it also comes with the famous PERVERSION 24/7 in Black

Also comes with tutorial book with 12 looks! AWESOMENESS!!!

Here is the color swatch! The colors are so pigmented and pretty

What I said:

1. Smoked Palette by Urban Decay is AWESOME palette if you want to achieve the smokey make-up look
2. Great Pigmented colors and No Fall-off
3. It comes with tutorial book (12 looks) to teach you how to use the palette so beginner won't lost on how to use the palette :) 
4. Comes with PERVERSION eye liner, GREAT eyeliner. No smudge, EASY glide on ( as what its name) and Long lasting. oh oh, also it comes with small eye primer potion (nothing to say on this one, the BEST eye primer EVER!!!)
5. Nice packaging with zipper as closure so it is well secure

Urban Decay never fails me!! Love U.D!

Benefit Brow Wax Experience at Sephora ION

Brow...brow, as Michelle Phan said it is the frame of your face, if it is well maintained and well-drawn, you will look gorgeous and if it is not, it ruins your whole make-up as well.

Last month I got this complimentary Benefit Brow Wax at Sephora Singapore as a gift for my birthday (YEY for SEPHORA-- my heaven on earth). Well, to be honest, I barely do any wax or anything to fix my brow, usually I just do it myself, it is not perfect yet not that bad as well :p :p Since I have this chance to get the perfect brow, I WON'T let this opportunity go away (in Singlish: DIE DIE must go), I did mine at Sephora ION and served by Joanne Lim (she is super nice)

So here it is

Their counter is so cute and neat! As you can see in the picture, on the table, there is thing like cooking pot, it is where the wax is melted and keep warm and the rest are just lotion or toner or remover. I really like the counter, because it is in PINK! :)



Right side is done with waxing, as you can tell from its redness, it is a bit pain for first timer like me but the result is AHMAZZZING! It is soooo neat and def perfect brow! Worth it all the pain hahaha!

Left: Before                      Right: After

See the differences before and after, feel very ashamed of the before picture :( :(

Both brows are finished, it is so perfectly shaped! I don't know how many times I mentioned "perfect" LOL

Zoom: Right side

Zoom: Left side

Both brows are perfect now! After 1-2 hours, the redness is gone

What I said:
1. Benefit Brow Wax is cool, nice and def give you the perfect shaped brow (no more ugly brow)
2. It is a bit pain but still bearable and it is worth it
3. A bit expensive, it costs like SGD 24 per times ( They don't offer any package, sad sad sad) They should tho 

But still I like this experience of brow wax, I will definitely go again but just not that often. LOL!

Review: Baviphat Snail Cure Mask Sheet

Alow~~Happy Sunday and I am back with review. This time it is Mask. Honestly, I don't change my mask brand often, I stick to one brand which is My Beauty Diary mask from Taiwan. There is a reason why I don't try new mask because before I liked to try new mask (cheap and expensive brand) but one day I got this serious allergy where my WHOLE face was swollen, redness and itchy for 3 days (and of course I went to see dermatologist--he said because the mask contains alcohol) after that incident, I was afraid to use any sheet mask up until my ex-colleague told me about the MBD mask then I tried it with ready-to-go-see-doc heart if anything happens (LOL) which apparently not, Thanks God for that. So from that on, I stick to MBD mask for like a year.

Then I moved to Singapore and one day this Baviphat snail mask was given to me as a gift, I like the packaging but still a bit afraid to use it. Then my colleague also gave Very good review about it so I think I must give it a try and I did. It is a good decision to try it! This mask become my one of fave mask now. haha~~ It is a awesome feeling when you can use or find good product on your crazily sensitive skin, isn't it??

Finally, after a long prologue :D here comes the review and how I use it:

How I use it:
1. Put in fridge for 5 mins
2. As usual, take it out and put it on your face
3. Leave it for 15~20 mins
4. Take it off and massage the residue on face in upward circular motion so your skin could absorb its goodness. 

I quite agree with their own description, because I will use it whenever I feel I need some cure to my skin then I use this weapon (haha), it really calms my skin and leave it moisturize.

It said to be able to recover the stability of unbalanced troubled skin due to stress, increases the moisture retaining capacity of skin and keeps the moisturizing skin long-lasting. 

Advantages:

1. Cute design 
2. Aloe Vera Smell instead of the snails' slime we all thot it will be :P
3. It is free from Alcohol (which is good! coz I am allergy to it :( )
4. Definitely Non-sticky after you remove the mask and still have the remaining goodness which allow you to massage into your skin (which is different from MBD mask- after you remove the mask, it is full of the goodness and a bit sticky)
5. Affordable 
6. Free Itchy for me, my skin is LOVING it. YEY!!

Disadvantages:

1. Sadly it contains paraben :(

Repurchase??

Yea, definitely but will only use it if my skin needs extra help. 
Thanks lovelies, stay tune for more and enjoy the weekend :)

Review: 3CE (3 Concept Eyes) Creamy Lip Color No.9 Kitsch Biker

Again, I have been MIA from my blog again. Too occupied by my work and many other things.  Oh well, I am back with some reviews on Korean products. Because my friend went to Korea not long ago, so I asked her to help me buy some stuff. =) =) But today is review on 3CE lip product.

Recently I am so obsesses with lip product esp those with bright color (guess I found myself not really match with the nude or pinkish color =(  even tho I really like the pinkish color, it just not match with my skin tone).

I bought this 3CE lip product not long ago in No.9 Kitsch Biker (orange reddish color). It soon becomes my  on-the-go lip product. Before I was not a fan of lip product (I can go out without putting any lipstick),  I am more to eye shadow geek but now I love BOTH. Lolx

What I like:
1. I love the packaging, it is simple and classy plus has the "Click" sound when you close it (it is like give me the secure feeling that it is tightly close) haha
2. It is moist and for sure creamy as its name which make the application so easy ( I don't need to put any lip balm to moist my lip)
3. It is very beautiful color which match my skin perfectly
4. For me, it is quite long lasting, can last for like 4 hours even after I have my meal.
5. It is affordable only 13.300 WON ( SGD 16.3)

So far, I am so satisfy with this product, haven't found any point I don't like yet. Hopefully won't, haha.
I think I will try the other colors of this collection ( will try to go for more neutral color)  =))
