<div style="text-align: justify;">
I purchase Luna Apocolips when I was in UK. I don't think Australia has this shade I'm afraid, I haven't seen it in priceline or any thing. This is a lovely peachy/orange shade something that I'm obsessed with. just ordered The Balm's Frat Boy blush too. was tossing between that one or Mac's Melba. any ways. </div>
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the product comes like a lipgloss but its a liquid lipstick. its none sticky. the colour is really opaque. covers your natural lip colour. but ofcourse you can apply sheer and blend it out. gives you that coral lip really nice. I like the texture the colour. the only thing is it doesn't stay very long on my lips even when i don't eat or drink. so have to reapply many times. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So here's some swatches. the top applied sheer, bottom applied thick. so photo above is with flash. <br />

Photo above taken in natural indoor lighting. I think this can be used as blush as well. It's got that creamy consistency. so if you apply it sheer it can be a multi purpose product blush and lippie in one.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the beginning of the year I was in UK, the weather was dry, cold and radiation heater was on all the time in the room while I'm sleeping too. so my skin was SOOOO dry, super dehydrated. and with the microcracks, it developed small small bumps from the weather and trying out different skincare items. When I got back to Australia after two months later. my skin was freakin out because it is summer here. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had really bad acne, bumps all over my face. I tried so many things. went to doctor got on low dosage minocycline tablets for 2 months, along with Duac (benzyl peroxide 5% and antibiotics combination). It didn't work. made my skin even more drying and it got to a point where it hurts so much. my self esteem hit ROCK BOTTOM. was crying because I felt like every one was looking at my skin and thinking how horrible it is. some friends even joke about my skin ..... Not a very pleasant time to go through. Slathering on make up to cover it up. it was SOOO bad. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I went on internet and did some research, what kind of products for my skin problems. so I have dry dehydrated skin, that has blocked pores with lots of cystic acne as well as small small bumps from allergic reaction to some skincare products i was trying out in UK. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the first IMPORTANT thing I learnt was to stick to a skincare regime, because your skin doesn't know what to do when you keep chopping and changing products. So here's what I came up with and after about 4 months. my skin completely cleared up there's were still alot of acne scars but not active pimples and acne. and now about 6 months later. my scars has faded. and skin has calm down no more break outs only occasional one or two during that time of the months. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq0ktFd41CHMbY2ca8ninBBpbeSsLVnzEsi-5NELoy7C47yrLTst925tkuaZaT9BUyTgb5GiiJpSy3UTsSBKYlDCIEILAH4b-NhFxv8KhDDZ3uSLm0o0vjGKR92uPRYFZLSDOeSZs6o2Eq/s1600/SDC13912.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq0ktFd41CHMbY2ca8ninBBpbeSsLVnzEsi-5NELoy7C47yrLTst925tkuaZaT9BUyTgb5GiiJpSy3UTsSBKYlDCIEILAH4b-NhFxv8KhDDZ3uSLm0o0vjGKR92uPRYFZLSDOeSZs6o2Eq/s320/SDC13912.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
First step is cleanse:<br />
I use the bioderma sensio water for getting rid of make up. but I find that AVOCADO OIL does a better job at removing makeup. or EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. just put some on the cotton pad and then wipe all the make off. it takes off my estee lauder double wear.<br />
<br />
So then to get rid of that oily feeling i use SUKIN GENTLE CLEANSING GEL. it is an Australian organic vegan brand. I have so many of their products love it all. its a foaming gel but not drying no SLS, no paraben its so gentle on my skin too. I use this morning and evening, and three a week i use it with my clarisonic at night.<br />
<br />
So the next thing I use is ESTEE LAUDER's ANR SERUM, it is an amazing serum, it didn't flare up my skin even more. it adds moisture and it repairs my skin, it soothes my angry PIMPLES, it calms down my skin and tone down the redness. its a long time staple in my skincare.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE0sahhhubLm13kYfLQw5W2bNEIYkoE2S2out52qi8si8Gudn6fI69P29VSvApYcf7OXrxZI9lmI9cuTbISzosx7IK-w1TxW0YImsdQ6_MFyy577kuXvf2UVPh_MiAKoULiOvjhnbXAHsv/s1600/SDC13909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE0sahhhubLm13kYfLQw5W2bNEIYkoE2S2out52qi8si8Gudn6fI69P29VSvApYcf7OXrxZI9lmI9cuTbISzosx7IK-w1TxW0YImsdQ6_MFyy577kuXvf2UVPh_MiAKoULiOvjhnbXAHsv/s320/SDC13909.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OKAY, here's the PART where it has helped me really cleared up my acne. scrubbing my skin using beads or scrubs out there makes my skin worse!. and hurts. no matter hot gentle they claim. its not gentle enough. so I found PAULA's CHOICE 2% BHA products. I have it in GEL and LIQUID formula. I started with LIQUID it was really strong. my skin was peeling so I got the GEL, which was not as strong but it has a weird texture. so what I did was mix HADALABO SHA 3 drops plus 3 drops of CIRACLE C-20 (20% Vitamin C concentration) all over the face. the products has a pH of 3.5 which is required for it to work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The CIRACLE C-20 is an acidic solution contains 20% of Vitamin C which is really strong. this product is SOOOO popular in KOREA. and what I do is mix it in with the HADALABO. it helped lighten my acne scaring and mild exfoliation. when you first start using it may be only put 1 drop with moisturiser or toner. then slowly increase the amount. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so I read that BHA are the best chemical exfoliate for cleaning out things in the pores to prevent pimples. and it also helps to prevent future pimples. No skincare will work overnight if it does then its only temporary effect. after about 2 weeks continuing using AHA products morning and night. I can see that my current pimples were going away and less of the new ones coming up. The other product I use to aid the treatment of scaring is PAULA's CHOICE 8% AHA GEL. This stings a bit when you first put it on, but I heard that it helps with the shedding of top skin layer therefore help to reduce acne scarring. still testing it out though. the results are as significant as CIRACLE C-20.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope this post help those of you that suffers from acne.. Best of of luck ~~ don't let any body bring you down, because what is inside that counts............ if you have further questions. you can email me. </div>

Hey all ~~ <br />
<br />
I recently purchased some nyx lip products from ebay. it came in within a week. really fast. I was really interested to test out the Nyx butter glosses and the lip creams. so I picked up a few to try out because I heard good things and raves about them in the beauty community.<br />
<br />

Here are the swatches.<br />
Top row: vanilla cream pie, apple strudel, tiramisu<br />
Bottom row: Antwerp, San Paulo, Biege<br />
<br />
<u><b>NYX Butter Glosses:</b></u><br />
I am typically not a lip gloss person. because I hate the sticky thick feeling of glosses. like MAC.. they are nice colours but i just can't wear them. but these. OMG I love it !!!. its like putting melted vaseline on your lips. so soft none sticky. it smells AMAZING !!! my favourite colour is the vanilla cream pie. love all three colours I purchased. highly recommended.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Nyx Lip Cream:</b></u><br />
It's a matte product, with no shine. it dries really matte, I like it alot too. none sticky. lasts a LONG time. but the only thing is it settles into lines and dry cracks. so before you use this make sure you scrub your lips and moisturise with lip balm. but other wise.. great product. Antwerp is a really nice coral/ pink. great for summer<br />
<br />
<b>Nyx Mega Shine lipgloss:</b><br />
This one smells amazing too, the colour is gorgeous. really nice pink not too outrageous. but i prefer the butter glosses, because the texture of this gloss is really slippery. doesn't stay as well as the other one. but then both of them lipgloss types are none sticky.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I highly recommend you try these lip products. really love it. and for the price you pay I think they are really comparable to high end products.<br />
<br />
<br />

I purchased the Naked Basics a while ago, been using it now and then. Its quite popular amongst the beauty world, it is really hyped up, but I personally not a big fan of it.<br />
<br />
The texture is really smooth, the packaging is great, sturdy, doesn't get finger prints all over it.<br />
the shadows are buttery soft, the lighter colours can be a bit chalky if applied too much. but I don't see the hype. there are 3 really similar light colours, WOS the pink toned one doesn't suit my me at all, because I am asian and yellow toned. The Naked 2 is the worst. it shows up grey on my eye lid. and it looks dirty.. like just looks like I put dirt all over my eyes. I tried it over MAC groundwork paint pot. seems a bit better, but I don't like that brown/grey tone.<br />
<br />
The colour Faint is a nice brown. but is dupable. i found that MUA single eyeshadow matte in colour 19. is really really similar. can't tell the difference once its on the eyes. the black is really pigmented. you can use it as a liner or darken up the whole look. <br />
<br />

Left: Mizon snail cream<br />
Right: Ciracle anti blemish aqua cream<br />
<br />
I prefer the texture of the Anti blemish aqua cream, contains no silicones like dimethicones, cyclopentasiloxane or similar things. the Mizon one contains silicones. I am not sure. I think I might be allergic to Silicones..........<br />
<br />
Having a bad skin reaction now a days so I will get back to you on the skincare items.<br />
<br />But so far the Vitamin serums are a bit too strong for my skin right now. because in middle of a reaction, trying to calm it down. but the Ciracle Anti Blemish Aqua cream has Aloe Vera and Lemon peel oil so it calms my skin down.<br />
<br />
Hope every had a good weekend..<br />

Hey all ~~~<br />
I wanted to share with every one products that I have or would repurchase. So its from skincare/haircare to makeup items. Some of the products I have repurchased and has been in the stash for years. I won't go into too much detail but would tell you briefly what I think about them.<br />
<br />

<br />
Left to Right:<br />
- <b>Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum </b><br />
I love this stuff. So crazily expensive, but worth every penny, it helps fade my acne scars. My skin tone has changed after 2 months of using this. skin stays hydrated less oily. and repairs damage when you sleep just wonderful. Have a back up of 50 mL ready to be used up.<br />
<br />
- <b>Bioderma sensibio micellar solution</b><br />
removes all my foundations even the most long lasting ones (estee lauder double wear, revlon colorstay) and waterproof eyemakeup. gentle on the skin no weird smell. it can be washed away with water. just brilliant.<br />
<br />
-<b> Clinique 7 day scrub</b><br />
I use this scrub once or twice a week. just does the job without irritating my sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
- <b>Klorane dry shampoo with oat milk</b><br />
This is what I use every other day because I wash my hair once every 2 days. It gives volume back to the hair, and doesn't make it oily. looks like you just washed your hair. convenient and easy to use. no funky weird artificial smell. bought this countless amount of times. <br />
<br />
- <b>Queen Helene, Mint Julep masque</b><br />
This is a purifying/clarifying mask, the type that contains clay or kaolin to draw out the dirt and oil in the pores. it says helps to dry up acne/pimples, rise away blackheads and shrink pores.<br />
I find it do make my pores cleaner and it does draw out the impurities stuck in my pores. I use this once or twice a week. This is my 2nd or 3rd tube already. <br />
<br />
<b>- Caudalie Divine Oil </b><br />
This stuff is amazing!!!can be used as oil in the summer for an overall glowing skin when you are taking sun bath. can be used as facial oil for massages and things. can be used as hair oil. SMELLS SOOO GOOD. I use this as hair oil, it doesn't make my hair look oily or stuck together, it makes it look healthy and shiny. and smells so good. made from natural ingredients. would do review of this individually.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>- Mac Brow Set gel in beiguile</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bought this may be 3 times, its just the most easiest thing to use. It grooms and fills in my brows at the same time. no hassle, no clean up. provide a bit of tint. just pure love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <b>Estee lauder Double Wear foundation </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use this all the time when I need extra coverage. when going out at night or even to some weddings and places where I need my foundation to just STAY PUT all day. and this does, with no fuss. no streakiness, melting mess, no patchiness or even oxidizing to some crazy orange/dark face. Just simple great. But have to remove this stuff really good at night because it sticks to your face until you get it off. I think this is my third bottle?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <b>Dr Jart Silver Label BB cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
this is my 2nd repurchase. I reviewed this long time ago. years back. great coverage! lasts a long time. beneficial for the skin, contains sunscreen. just great all in one product. I put this one when I am in a hurry or just a simple brunch / quick run out to the shops. would recommend this BB cream. I also love the Missha Perfect Cover BB cream. these two are equivalent in my book.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-<b> Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation (Loose)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love this stuff, I use it as my setting powder for my foundation, it gives the nicest glow and a bit of extra coverage. So your face don't look flat. Its just more of a natural product, not overly matte or shimmery like Bare Minerals. I'm up to my 3rd Jar of this stuff. and the Jar is HUGE!!!</div>
<br />

<b>- Rimmel Scanleyes </b><br />
This pencil/gel eyeliner is so crazily good. so pigmented. can be smudged when you just apply it, when its set. it doesn't even budge. just great!! new discovery. pick it up in UK for 3.99 pounds<br />
<br />

Got the shade in DUCK, just LOVE, long lasting. no fuss. highly recommended, a bit more expensive though.<br />
<br />
- <b>Mac fluidline </b><br />
Love this stuff, I think mine has dried up already. so I need to get a new one may be. I got this in blacktrack and macroviolet. its great for waterline doesn't move non-irritating. just have to close the lid tightly after use so it doesn't get dried up. <br />
<br />
<br />
Would love to know what products you would repurchase.~~~~~~<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just wanted to update you with some brushes that I use all the time, may be not all at once but alternating for different occasions. Some are for foundations, some are for cheek products, and others are for eye makeup. </div>
<br />

</div>
<br />
Left to Right:<br />
-<b> Everyday Minerals Kabuki Brush</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had this brush ever since when Everyday Minerals first came out, many years back. I use it to buff in mineral foundations (EDM, Bare minerals or laura mercier). It is great, it has a short handle so it fits in a make up bag without taking too much space. application wise it is great, evenly distribute product and super soft on the face. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <b>Everyday Minerals Stippling Duo Fiber brush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This brush I use to apply cream blush or blush that's really pigmented, or a light layer of powder to set my foundation. its super soft high quality, the handle is a bit long though.</div>
<br />
- <b>Everyday Minerals Plush Mineral Brush</b><br />
This brush I bought it because the shape, it can be used to apply powder ( which I some times do) or blush. I find to work excellent with cream blush!!. except the handle is a bit long so hard to travel with.<br />
<br />
<br />
- <b>Real Techniques Expert Face Brush</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I LOVE this brush, if you haven't got it yet. I suggest you go out there and buy it. Its great for every thing! mineral/liquid foundation, blush, bronzer or powder you name it. its not a round brush its an oval shape, which is what I LOVE about it. because it gets to every corner and the natural contour of the face around your nose, side of the temple and things. Its super soft and just the right amount of bristle density. pure love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <b>Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ran out and bought this brush after the hype of beauty community, stating that it applies foundation of any sort with great ease. I would have to agree with that. But it applies powder quite heavily and gives alot more coverage due to the fact that the bristles are so dense and they are flat. so most powder would land where you initially touch the face. For none thick liquid foundation application it is wonderful. So streaks and its super quick application. time saving.~~~ plus its super soft on the skin. highly recommended. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <b>Ecotools blush brush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use this everyday to apply my blush without fail. its easy to use, easy to clean. Not the SOFTEST brush out there, but soft enough for blush application. the quality is pretty good. wash it countless times and its still good. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Top to Bottom<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-<b> Kose Visee Cream Eyeliner brush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use this to apply gel liners like mac fluidline type of eyeliner. Its super easy, stiff enough so its not flimsy. but not SCRATCHY and hurting your eyes type. It also comes with a little cap to protect the brush. It easy to clean and store. Just makes my life much easier. This came with the Visee liner I bough. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Special Edition Mac Brushes from a limited set of brushes. Forgot what collection it was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <b>Mac 275SE </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use this to blend my eyeshadow, it is made from natural hair, I actually prefer synthetic brushes. But the size and shape its just perfect for that purpose. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>- Mac 219SE Pencil brush </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
this brush is usually used for all purpose. I find it i use it to blend eyeliners out.. smudge eyeshadows on the bottom of the eye. just good to have around. thought don't reach for it as often as the 275.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>- Mac 212SE </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use this to apply eyeshadow dry or wet as an eyeliner as oppose to gel liners. It can also be used to apply eyeshadow for the bottom eyelash area because its so flat. It's a stiff brush but not scratchy and not too hard. so It's gentle enough to be used that way. </div>
<br />
Thats my top brushes that I use all the time.<br />
<br />
Would love to hear what are your favourite brushes.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend. ~~~purple snowflakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14098566240600431871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701520747923954708.post-46734270807770908672013-03-09T15:18:00.003-08:002013-03-09T15:18:48.844-08:00[]UK Haul~~[]<br />
Hey all ~~~<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was in UK for 2 months on an exchange program. so I picked up a few things there. so Boots and Superdrug is like Priceline of Australia. They sell all the affordable makeup and skincare items. and then there's John Lewis, House of Fraser and Debenhams the high end department stores. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this post will be just beauty related things, I will do another clothing haul from shops like Primark, H&M, Top shop. I didn't buy any thing from Zara though. but I was eying this pair of heels boots, but wasn't in stock at my Local Zara in Nottinham so bad luck. </div>

<u><b> Nails:</b></u><br />
- Deboral Lippmann- stairway to heaven<br />
- Rimmel Pro Lycra - French Ivory<br />
- China Glaze - Luxe and lush<br />
- Nubar - black polka dot<br />
- Essie - Marshmallow<br />
<br />
I find that Essie is quite expensive in UK they sell it for like 8 pounds a bottle. <br />

<br />
<u><b> Fragrances:</b></u><br />
- Lidl Suddenly Madame Glamour<br />
- Estee Lauder - Senuous nude<br />
- Calvin Klein - Forbidden euphoria<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I picked up Lidl's suddenly madame galmour because alot of reviews say that it is a dupe for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. I compared the two it is really similar, can't really tell between the two, probably the staying power might be a bit different. I think its an absolute bargain because its only 4 pounds. I think CK's forbidden euphoria is my new favourite fragrance, smells kind of citrus at the start but it goes away pretty quickly and gives you this sexy sweet sophisticated smell. not overly sweet, I hate those sugary overly teenage smells. I picked the 30mL just to try but i regret buying the big one while I had the chance at duty free. Sensuous Nude by EL is another favourite, it has this woody warm vanilla smell with a touch of Honey. It's just makes u feel warm and cosy, it is really strong I sprayed too much once feel a bit light headed. one or two sprits max, or else its too overpowering for the person wearing it. Its not one of those fragrances that you can smell miles away if its on some one, it wears close to body. </div>

But I am having an allergic reaction to Origins Mushroom mask so my skin is like bumpy and feels hot and some times itchy right now. I need to let it calm down.</div>

- Khiels avocado eye cream (repurchased this like 5 times HG eye cream)<br />
- Estee Lauder advanced night repair synchronized recovery complex (heals acne scars and pimples can see difference made with one night of use)<br />
- Senka Shiseido whitening toner/lotion<br />
- Hadalabo super hylauranic acid lotion<br />
- Caudalie vinoperfect enzyme peel mask<br />
- Queen Helene Mint Julep masque (use this draw out the impurities in pores)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These items are suitable for sensitive skin. I have combination oily skin so I don't use thick moisturizes so the two lotions provide enough moisture if I need any thing more I use the Estee lauder serum. its really really good. it's damn expensive but worth every penny. just bought a new 50mL bottle for my mum along with the eye cream from the same line. <br />
<br />
Quick update today. leave comments if you have any questions.<br />

There are three masks I use which I alternate depends on what my skin need at the time.<br />
- Queen Helena Mint Julep Masque, clears out all the dirt and oil of my pores and makes them stay clean for longer. it really helps. but it scares me that it contains lots of methyl parabens..... so I think after I finish this one I will get the Origins clear improvement mask with the activated charcoal and other natural ingredients.<br />
<br />
- The Body Shop Aloe Vera Calming Toner, I just put lots of this on a cotton sheet when I skin gets really sensitive and goes wacko and nothing settles it down. I use this one. really good for hydration and also calming skin down. not too many ingredients so safe for sensitive times.<br />
<br />
- Cadalie Vinoperfect Enzymatic Peel Mask, It uses papaya fruit extract and some glycolic acid formulated into a masks which helps to mild exfoliate and reveal brighter complexion. I use this may be once a week or once every two weeks because I got sensitive skin and it might aggravate it if I use this too often.<br />
<br />
<br />

So there are two scrubs I use.. but I don't use it very often as I have sensitive skin, but I use it some times for my neck and my back.<br />
<br />
- CLinique 7 day Scrub Cream, this one is really gentle the beads are round so it doesn't scratch. and I can use this once or twice a week and still fine.<br />
<br />
- A'kin Jojo and Corn Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub. it contains soothing witch hazel and vitamin B5 which helps with calming the skin and boost skin's healing. this scrub is abit more scratchy. so when I use it I don't use alot of pressure. just spread it around and then leave it there for a while. It has all the natural ingredients. so I really like it and it smells so nice............ so yummy<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all for my skin care stuff...<br />

The texture is really creamy and smooth. and the pigmentation is really great. super opaque just one swipe you get a really good colour pay off. I think the quality of these lipsticks can match high end ones. and it comes only at a fraction of a cost. <br />
<br />
Here's what it looks like on lips. I used Mac's Gentle mineral blush to match the colour of the lipstick as they both have that purple undertone to it. <br />

I can't really type much today, because went to play badminton today followed by some tennis so now my arm is in pain because I never exercise. hahaha being lazy. <br />
<br />
So Just wanted to put my two cents worth on the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation. I bought the shade 53 from Europe in middle of summer and then it was too dark for me, So I picked up the 52 when it was half price on Bourjois at Priceline. which fits my NC20-25 skin quite well. though very yellow toned.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">This foundation claims to contains 3 concealing pigments, yellow for a rested
complexion, mauve to light up the complexion and green to eradicate high
colour and uneven tone, It also states it lasts for up to 16 hours.</span><br />
<br />

I took a picture of the ingredient, so you have to click on the image to see the enlarged version.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdhOPoU2WM7NQJcyrr6uDVs7f4QYjSV7E11dhs34eVcve9yHpllcRXgbN8cwzwlY_xsbAvybgRWdMUPuokIuoxBEMs6Z84zPHFmkxuinp7c9wJ7W9QPjFfc2wh94kAheaezb_-hNEUt53/s1600/IMG_1788.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdhOPoU2WM7NQJcyrr6uDVs7f4QYjSV7E11dhs34eVcve9yHpllcRXgbN8cwzwlY_xsbAvybgRWdMUPuokIuoxBEMs6Z84zPHFmkxuinp7c9wJ7W9QPjFfc2wh94kAheaezb_-hNEUt53/s320/IMG_1788.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
So here's couple swatches, shade 52 on the left, 53 on the right. I find it a quite big jump in colour. 52 is so much lighter than 53.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Application wise, I just use my fingers to blend I find it easier, I tried it with F80 didn't like the finish. the foundation has quite a big of coverage so a little bit can cover a large area. this foundation is probably about medium to full coverage and it is buildable. It feels like on the skin, it feels like a liquid to powder transformation foundation. it feels quite powdery after it dries. So I think adding more powder on top may look cakey. I tried it without powdering on top it lasted pretty well on me, may be about 6-7 hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lasting power is not 16hrs like the company claims. realistically about 7-8 hours on me, but then again I have combination skin. the finish is quite matte, but not dead looking like Estee Lauder Double Wear. it doesn't make your face look flat.It's quite easy to remove this foundation too, I just use my normal foaming face wash and it comes off, If you feel safer to use a make up remover then you can do so too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So all in all, I quite like this foundation. but I don't use it every day. but I think its quite good for summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hey all ~~<br />
hope you had a fantastic weekend. It was beautiful out side yesterday (Saturday) lovely weather. but today is cloudy and windy, a bit chilly so decided to stay home and update my blog post ^^. So here I am ~~<br />

Here's what it looks like: So I used Slink in the inner corners, and brow highlight. Used Focus all over the eyelid for a wash of colour and a base. then I used Forgiveness all over the lid and also all over the lower lashline. Then Queen of nights on the 1/3 outer corner of the eyelid to darker it up. apply the eyeliner and mascara and you are done.<br />

Hey all ~~<br />
I haven't been posting much last month is because I've been testing out alot of the new products. So my skin got really over whelmed, so I had to tone every thing down and go back to things that I know that works with my skin. Gentle yet works to keep my skin.<br />
<br />
So What really happened to my skin. it got really sensitive, so red itchy patches. Dry patches and peeling yet had a lot of bumps/white heads on my forehead, cheeks and the chin. Occasionally I got like cystic acne, you know those deep and painful pimples that don't surface but have a big bump. all in all My skin was in the worst state ever. (CRY~~~)<br />
<br />
<br />
So any ways, It's calming down now. the white heads are going away. So Just going to share a few tips and thoughts about products to help with sensitive skin and crazy skin occasions.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Products used:<br />
<u><b>Cleansers~~</b></u><br />
<b>- Cetaphil Oily skin Cleanser </b><br />
This is a semi foaming wash, is gentle on skin but also washes away oil and sebum. I use this in the morning just 1-2 pumps is enough and it doesn't strip the oil from my face entirely so it's not tight and dry feeling after.<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>- Sana Nameraka foaming wash</b><br />
I use this cleanser at night because it foams really well and dissolves my foundation ( I'm currently using Clinique even better foundation - Oil Free) So this takes off my make up and washes away the daily dirt oil and what not. I've been using this for quite a while. so it is a stable item for me.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Toner~~</b></u><br />
<b>- Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion</b><br />
This lotion is great, because it contains aloe vera, millet plant extract, biosaccharide gum (type of sugar) and it contains 0.5% salicylic acid. The amount of salicylic acid in this lotion is not too harsh for my skin because I developed quite alot of white heads due to improper exfoliating and using products that's too rich for my skin. So I need a mild exfoliant (not a harsh one that's like sand paper). This lotion helps to remove dead skin cells and salicylic acid works deep down my pore so I stop getting more and more blocked pores.<br />
<br />
<b>- The Body shop Aloe Vera Calming toner</b><br />
I don't use as a toner, but as a mask. So I get those cotton sheets and soak it up with this, and then leave it on my face for 5-10 minutes before going to bed. It calms my skin right down no allergic reactions. It has no fragrance, all natural ingredients so the skin doesn't get all freaked out again. adds a bit of extra moisture as well. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Moisturisers~~~</b></u><br />
<b>- Shiseido Senka Lotion (Light Version)</b><br />
This is formulated with hylauranic acid and royal jelly, but it contains a bit of alcohol. so I normally put it on my palm and rub both hand together wait a bit then put on my face. so the alcohol evaporates. It's not oily, it doesn't contain oil so it doesn't make my white heads worse. It's a stable for me too I think I am on my fourth bottle of this. I really like it.it keeps my face hydrated without feeling oily.<br />
<br />
<b>- Melvita Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water</b><br />
This is a french brand of skincare line, certified Bio organics uses all natural ingredients no animal testing. Great Company. Love them. This is also formulated with hyaluronic acid but it also contains orange blossom and fig fruit extract. But only thing is it contains alcohol but the content of alcohol is not that much because it is quite down on the ingredient list. Love this product, it helps to calm and hydrate the skin. smells wonderful.... like that feeling of walking in a field of orange trees.~~~<br />
<br />
That's all for my current skincare routine trying to get my skin back to normal.....<br />
Hope to update more often.<br />
take cares every one, have a great week. <br />

Haven't posted any thing for over 1 months. Been busy and suffered. actually suffering from an allergic reaction to some product. So still recovering and cutting back on my skincare routine to just some basic items and no chopping and changing.<br />
<br />
But the main purpose of this post is to review an item I recently bought from Illamasqua. Thumbs up to them for equal price of beauty products. because in Australia the products are at least 30-50% more expensive compared to rest of the world. <br />
<br />
This is the first Illamasqua item I have bought, I was eyeing their lipsticks and blushes but have always restricted my self because I have lots of them at home already. The item is the <b>Complement Eyeshadow Palette</b> from the <b>Generation Q collection</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So the packaging is the Illamasqua signature black packaging, with their logo on the top.<br />
The eyeshadow palette comes in 4 colours.<br />
- Slink: a shimmery Beige ( not glittery)<br />
- Focus: a liquid metal formulation a midtone brown with a sheen<br />
- Forgiveness: a plummy brown<br />
- Queen of the night: a dark purple with black/brown base with fine shimmer <br />
<br />

The colour of Forgiveness shade seems quite plum/pink in the photos but its definitely more of a plum brown in real life. Photos taken in natural indoor lighting with NO FLASH.<br />

Lately I've been on a lipstick kick. wanted to try out different colours, but didn't want to fork out lots of money. and Nyx lipsticks are so affordable, and great quality. reviews say it's like putting butter on your lips. they are right about that. the texture is super soft. and highly pigmented. and it comes in so many oclours.<br />
<br />
So I got 6 lipsticks plus one I had from before. so here's my Nyx round lipstick collection:<br />
<br />

It's smart how they have a swatch of plastic colouring at the bottom of the lipstick, so you know what colour you are looking for. makes think much easier. <br />
<br />
<br />
So here's the swatches for your guys.<br />
Top Row<br />
Fig, Doll, Thalia, Indian pink<br />
<br />
Bottom Row<br />
Chaos, Tea rose, Pumpkin Pie<br />

Here's a picture of me wearing Fig.. I like that colour.. not too crazy pink. wearable.<br />
<br />

I bought the Stila Lovely in London Travel Palette, because the colour really attracted me also the cute packaging. last year I got the Stila travel palette in Haute in the Hamptons. Click<b> <a href="http://purplesnowflake2008.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/stila-haute-in-hamptons-beach-palette.html">HERE</a></b> to see the review for that. <br />
<br />
So the palette is a bit different to other palettes last year is that it flips open vertically. instead of from right to left like a book. but I don't really mind that.<br />

So for the swatch, top light pink colour is the primrose cream convertible colour.<br />
Then the darkest brown is high street.<br />
then last row from left to right is castle, notting hill, tower bridge and duchess, all colours are matte, except for duchess which is a pearly colour.<br />

It is actually a really autumn colour, because it's so brown and coppery. I really like it. could be used in summer if you add a bit more gold. I think it suits warm skin tone really well. The primrose convertible colour is a bit too light for my skin tone. I didn't like it on my lips. on my cheeks barely showed up.<br />

here's my normal look with glasses.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend you go out there and buy this travel palette, for $16, and it's worth it I think.<br />

Hey all ~~~<br />
I wanted to do a brush review today, saw a lot of positive reviews on the Sigma F80 brush for buffing in foundations. So I decided to give it a try because my Everyday Minerals flat top kabuki brush is quite old now. may be about 3 yrs old? but still good. ~~~~<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXGhz-rz3poUQRCORj2cEkVpRo8MKlVEJ5gV52dEkNu3gaprUZ2-51OKWSpduxlZbLto7mewb36h8sEC8YYVSwn_nU5Itj2IUFyyAKwOv9XmC96xoJVBDPacTZlNC3uMmivw46SBpBc2v1/s1600/SDC13679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXGhz-rz3poUQRCORj2cEkVpRo8MKlVEJ5gV52dEkNu3gaprUZ2-51OKWSpduxlZbLto7mewb36h8sEC8YYVSwn_nU5Itj2IUFyyAKwOv9XmC96xoJVBDPacTZlNC3uMmivw46SBpBc2v1/s320/SDC13679.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
So I bought my brush from the Sigma Website, it came in at about 1 week since the day of order. so the shipment is not bad. It came in the blue cardboard packaging with a pamphlet talking about other brushes in the collection. (see picture below)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpF6AHqdqRbamVEFwogu9v3V8k8KtETuWxubqkZt9mu_XQfFETqDRLNsvOpcQugqUzqziO4Py28kWgrg8b-Z0aSUwGKII-2Df8k7hRbBU-k8ORLlrPmVIYL4q-qOKpUjEYXwS8k-ESWhiL/s1600/SDC13680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpF6AHqdqRbamVEFwogu9v3V8k8KtETuWxubqkZt9mu_XQfFETqDRLNsvOpcQugqUzqziO4Py28kWgrg8b-Z0aSUwGKII-2Df8k7hRbBU-k8ORLlrPmVIYL4q-qOKpUjEYXwS8k-ESWhiL/s400/SDC13680.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
So I wanted to compare the Sigma F80 to my Everyday Mineral Flat Top Kabuki brush.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJCiqXt6CIhztpW0gFoJYjCxTBti4O3fiMRd3gYUJ7SiYXCWBuoRu57Dn14XZFk8IuE8aV3GxaMCZ0NpSLiMm3JsGXJlypcmDcCOAjRgAgoaIhTyxK1u12jwmmptlGCVGkctjGJ6Pf9k5/s1600/SDC13682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJCiqXt6CIhztpW0gFoJYjCxTBti4O3fiMRd3gYUJ7SiYXCWBuoRu57Dn14XZFk8IuE8aV3GxaMCZ0NpSLiMm3JsGXJlypcmDcCOAjRgAgoaIhTyxK1u12jwmmptlGCVGkctjGJ6Pf9k5/s320/SDC13682.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Comparing the two, the handle of F80 is longer, I actually prefer the longer handle. the way you buff while using the brush is different to Everyday Minerals. I feel like i tend to press harder against my skin while using Everyday Minerals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbb7A5fc_YEUJqX5U5biSICyQkjQ8uu9rYwAGzzZS254R_LVeRFcmksePrCe6QTPsQuutQdIvx7Ymooq986L9Gmmnkn_S12RPUiQn4RqxJe8RYFyHMC01DSfB-G8ljDcUvq0Di5LXXxV3/s1600/SDC13683.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbb7A5fc_YEUJqX5U5biSICyQkjQ8uu9rYwAGzzZS254R_LVeRFcmksePrCe6QTPsQuutQdIvx7Ymooq986L9Gmmnkn_S12RPUiQn4RqxJe8RYFyHMC01DSfB-G8ljDcUvq0Di5LXXxV3/s320/SDC13683.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Fiber wise, both brush have synthetic fibers, super SOFT!!!. the density is quite similar, it's just that the fiber in F80 is shorter than EM flat kabuki. not much shorter though may be about 3 mm. <br />

So this is a top picture to show the fiber density and the size of bristles. so Left is F80 right is EM flat kabuki. sorry its a bit dirty, just used it for my powder foundation.<br />
<br />
I like both brushes, can be used for multiple things. liquid foundation, cream foundation, powders, minerals foundation. but I prefer the F80 for liquid foundation. gives a SUPER nice finish!!!. Love it, highly recommended.<br />
<br />
Please leave question and comments and tell me what you think about Sigma Brushes, and or other brushes you would recommend me to try.<br />

I am obsessed with this Gun-Metal Colour. a bluey/metallic grey. I think it's such a cool colour where it changes with different lighting. I recently picked up the Benefit crease less cream shadow in Busy Signal and Strut. Busy Signal is a coppery brown colour, where as Strut is the gun metal blue. It can be used as a shadow or eyeliner.<br />
<br />
The quality is amazing. I find it better than Mac's Paint pots, and also it lasts on my eyelid without creasing as much as MAC PP. but the product will dry out if you didn't tighten the lid. so I wanted to try this out with a FOTD just to see how it turned out.<br />
<br />

Here's what the whole face looks like. I think it's quite dramatic. Probably an evening look too much for me during the day. <br />
<br />

A closer look at the ye make up. The eye lashes looks quite natural. not as dramatic as I though. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The colour is more dramatic in real life.<br />
Probably get more use out of Busy Signal even though strut is such a pretty colour I feel like it is too cool toned for my warm yellow toned skin. What do you all think? <br />
<br />
Have a great weekend every one ^^ <br />

Hey all<br />
Today, wanted to review the Shiseido Senka Mineral Water BB Cream UV SPF41 +++<br />
I bought recently bought this BB cream before I headed off to Europe, It has SPF of 41 PA+++ so it's great for summer. also it comes with two colours, a bright shade and a healthy shade. I got the darker one a bit more natural on my face I think. as well as in summer I get a tan any ways.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldcfYnmiypbk5FcmFB3KhnaWd7T0bmrRvNx-oOOEEGpGZukYDJgrBjySbwxz5_Zb5erVpMF0KmO74ZSM1R38nbAOGzn4tQFBLDCNMABSjCjD1-TiIY4FWZQbMNSzmxwNn5LPz9mpMlM75/s1600/SDC13688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldcfYnmiypbk5FcmFB3KhnaWd7T0bmrRvNx-oOOEEGpGZukYDJgrBjySbwxz5_Zb5erVpMF0KmO74ZSM1R38nbAOGzn4tQFBLDCNMABSjCjD1-TiIY4FWZQbMNSzmxwNn5LPz9mpMlM75/s320/SDC13688.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This BB Cream is refreshing, non-sticky,
long lasting and has a super light texture. Another unique feature of
the BB Cream is that you don’t even have to do double cleansing – just a
foam cleanser will be able to wash it off. Using also double potency
Acid Hyaluronic, this BB Cream keeps skin hydrated, refresh, without any
burden to the skin. </span></div>
<br />
This BB cream also is formulated with special powder which gives that great coverage with out looking cakey or heavy. The product packaging is great because it's a plastic tube, hygienic and light to carry around. <br />
can just through in your make up bag and not worrying about dropping it and breaking it and all that sort of mess.<br />
<br />
On my skin it feels like I'm wearing something I wouldn't say it feels light but it's not heavy either. It doesn't have great oil control abilities so may be not for oily skin. I got combination some times comb/dry skin. It contains skin moisturizing ingredients so I think it's suited for all year round if you have normal dry skin. In summer I found this to be a bit heavy, the staying power is not too bad if I didn't sweat like crazy it would last about 4-5 hours in summer, in winter weather it lasts longer around 6-7 hours but I set it with a powder.<br />
<br />

I think it covers my redness and pores quite well, but it still didn't cover my freckles, I mean I don't really mind it looks a more natural looking face. It also gives that glow/radiant feel to the skin so I would say a Semi matte finish. which I like.<br />
<br />
It hasn't break me out, and no allergic reactions. I quite like this. The most thing i LOVE about this is that it can be rinsed clean with just normal foaming face wash, no need make up remover. that's a plus point for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I bought this on Adambeauty.com. any questions just leave in comment section.<br />
<br />
P.S. yes weekend soon.. can't wait.<br />
<br />
have a great one every body<br />
