Hey all ~~

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.

 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.

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

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.

Here's a photo of me using Luna, hope you enjoy your apocolips too. if you haven't tried them, highly recommended.

[] Products I Would Repurchase~~~[]

 Hey all ~~~
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.

 Left to Right:
- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum 
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.

- Bioderma sensibio micellar solution
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.

- Clinique 7 day scrub
I use this scrub once or twice a week. just does the job without irritating my sensitive skin.

- Klorane dry shampoo with oat milk
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.

- Queen Helene, Mint Julep masque
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.
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.

- Caudalie Divine Oil 
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.

- Mac Brow Set gel in beiguile

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.

- Estee lauder Double Wear foundation 

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?

- Dr Jart Silver Label BB cream

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.

- Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation (Loose)

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!!!

 - Mac Lipsticks
Okay, This is the part where I have never finished a Mac lipstick because I have all these other lipsticks I need to finish up. But the creme sheen formular is AMAZING, I got Modesty, Fanfare and I wanna try other shades. I also love the shade Cravings. nicest berry/pink colour for atumn/winter.

- Revlon Lip Butters
Do I even need to say any thing about this? Its ALL over the beauty community. The shades I like are Berry Smoothie and Raspberry Pie. LOVE.....~~~~~~~~~~

- Bobbi Brown Color Rich Lipsticks
crazy pigmentation and just wears really well. the two I have is Crimson (super dark vampy lips) and Soft Coral ( all time favourite for summer/spring)

- Rimmel Apocolips
My new favourite, liquid lipstick with a bit of glossy finish, none sticky lasts really well. colours are amazing. review post coming up. but the shade Luna is my favourite haven't tried the BOLD red colours, but will give it a go .

- Kiss me Heorine Volume & Curl
HG macara. bought it so many times lost count already, replace this every couple months so bacteria don't accumulate. it stays all day. no smudges!! just great. gives my lashes lots of volume and holds curl perfectly too.

- Rimmel Scanleyes 
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

- Mac powerpoint liner 
Got the shade in DUCK, just LOVE, long lasting. no fuss. highly recommended, a bit more expensive though.

- Mac fluidline 
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.


Would love to know what products you would repurchase.~~~~~~

Happy Monday.

Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in #20

 Hey all ~~
Just wanted to share a bright lipstick I recently bought. It is the new kate moss lipstick in #20 from Rimmel London. It is really really bright pink. I was just wanting to try it out but it is really attention grabbing.

 This is what the lipstick looks like and a swatch down below.

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.

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.

It is really bold. I think may be only wear it out at night because during day time it is too much for my taste.

hope every one have a great week.

[] Golden Bronze Skin for Summer ~~[]

 Hey all ~~~
I want to do a post on some of the bronzers that the beauty community. Alot of girls have recommended these bronzers on blogs and youtubes. So I'm going to do a comparison between them and some of my thoughts on each of them.

  Here are the bronzers:

- Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 022
- NYC matte bronzer in sunny
- NARS Laguna
- ELF Golden Bronzer

 Lets see some swatches first:

 Left to Right:
- Top left colour of ELF golden bronzer (shimmer)
- Bottom right colour of ELF golden Bronzer (shimmer)
- Nars Laguna (satin)
- NYC Sunny (matte)
- Rimmel 022 Sun bronze

Another Swatch in the same order.
My skin tone is between NC20-25. Neutral Asian skintone. I think MAC's NC foundations are way too yellow.

Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 022 sun bronze

it is a shear bronzer with a more reddy undertone with slight shimmer but once applied there aren't really any shimmer. Because it is shear it is great for makeup beginners, even without a light hand you can't really go wrong. It can be used as a contour colour.  I might not use it as an all over colour as it is a bit red, might look a bit muddy.

NYC Bronzer in Sunny

it is a matte bronzer no shimmers what so ever. The main ingredient is TALC, might block pores for some people but seems to be ok for me. Lasted on my for the whole day. It can be used all over the face and as contour, it isn't really pigmented but not as shear as the Rimmel's one. the colour can be built so girls with medium skintone can still use this just need a heavy hand or build the colour a bit more to be visible. 

Nars Laguna

The famous Nars bronzer, a staple for many. I bought this after a lot of reviews recommended by alot of gurus and beauty bloggers. It has a satin finish. when applied all over the face and neck it gives a really nice glow like you just had a natural sun tanning session out at the beach. I use this nearly every day for contouring and all over the face as summer is approaching. it is a true brown, no red or orange tones. Recommended for girls with light/light-medium or may be even medium skin tones. For girl with darker skin tones might have to go for Casino. 

ELF Golden Bronzer 

This is a really really shimmery bronzer. if you light shimmer that bronzy gold shimmer look. then this is for you. It is very nice on the cheek and the bottom left colour is a great high lighter. but besides that the other colours are just way too much shimmer. if it is used instead of a blush. it does look pretty. 

So all in all . 

Here's a list of bronzers from my favourite to the least. 

1) Nars Laguna

2) NYC Bronzer in Sunny 

3) Rimmel Natural Bronzer 

4) ELF Golden Bronzer

That's all for today.. enjoy rest of the week. 

see you in the next post. ~~~
