[][] Current Skincare Routine[][][]~~

Hey all
Today, I just want to update my current Skincare Routine.
I have combination oily skin, and prone to blemishes, pimples. especially during that time of the months... So I try to keep my skin/pores as clean as possible. I have been using the Kose's Junkisui range for about 2 months now. A little goes a long way with these products.
This range is suited for sensitive/acne prone skin. SO here's the range.
from facewash, to toner to moisturiser in emulsion form.

Here's a look at the face wash...

it lathers to a thick foam... (quite dense) and amazingly it cleans off make up even with out facial oil to remove the makeup before hand.

The toner is just your average toner with a consistency of water. It is quite moisturising, though it does contain alcohol to kill germs and clean out the pores. BUt it's unlike the CLINIQUE's 3 step toner which is loaded with alcolhol and dries the skin out so bad ><

Here's a look at the emulsion, a White runny gel consistency, quite moisturising actually. not too oily, not too dry. Absorbs easily and has been helping my acne at bay. ALso...... if I DO have a pimple or something. the next morning I wake up and that pimple tend to be less inflammed and some how helps to heal quicker. Though this range does not help with fading of acne scars><

Other products I use, CLinique's Moisture surge. the famous one. The Clinique Exfoliating scrub ( use once a week) or twice depends. And The OLAY moisturising lotion sensitive skin. (think this is my 5th bottle). These are there for a bit of extra moisture when needed.

and here's a FOTD with no eye make up.

P.S: (using Maybelline's Pink Please lipstick on lips)... Alot people have been raving about this.

and Seems like my hair colour has gone lighter and lighter ><

Have a great weekend guys.

Masks & Guitar []

Hey all
it's been a long time... hehehe just updating with some stuff.

I have been trying out the My beauty diary masks... The different types.

I tried 5 of them.. and I know there are alot of fake ones out there.. but I got a friend to bring it for me from over seas. but sasa.com sells them as well
- mix berry and yoghurt
- black pearl mask
- lavender mask
- Q10 mask
- while pearl mask

This is the back of them. I heard you can buy then in the 7/elevens in taiwan and other beauty shops and it's quite cheap there as well. These comes in a packet of two and they also have the packet of 10.

Out of these ones they have difference purpose for different types. But for me I will rank them from the favourite to the least favourite ones.
1. mix berry & yoghurt (after I used this one, my skin is so soft and moisturised and radiant.)

2. Q10 every one knows what Q10 does right?? promotes collogen production so tightens skin and boost skin renewal)

3. Lavender (helps sooth and clear skin from trouble, smells really nice but I don't see any difference after use.)

4. Both of the pearl masks (it says to help with whitening, so use it after sun exposure and wanting to have a whiter radiant skin, but I didn't feel much difference )

Also, I picked up guitar a couple months ago. Been practising and just doing some self learning not really taking lessons. My dad bought me this guitar.. I really like it.. it sounds really good... (steel stringed) I don't really like the sound of nylon strings...


A closer look.

Hope every one is having a great week.

[] Pink Rosey Champagne [] ~~~~

Hey everyone;

First of all I wanted to THANK every one leaving me really kind and nice comments...

Didn't expect so many of you leaving me nice comments for my posts =D

thank you thank you thank you thank you all ~~~~^__^

Well I'm back with a FOTD and some reviewing.~~~

Here's the products used:

Face:

- Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in intensity 1

- Laura Mercier Mineralise Foundation SPF15 Real Sand

- Nars blush in Oasis

- Nars Laguna bronzer

Eyes/Brow:

- Lavshuca Eyebrow powder in LB-1

- Mac browset in Beguile

- Fibrewig mascara

Lips:

- Benefit lipstick in Lala land

Here's a picture of the Nars Oasis blush. From the website it's described as pink champagne colour. It is kind of true but it has a mauve undertone with chunky glitters. OK If u DON"T like glitters.. I think this blush won't suit u unless u use MAC 187 brush the application will probably have the least amount of glitter/shimmer on your face.

Check out that Glitter. But it's a really nice colour. Gives a warm cheek and quite natural. A really really good winter colour. not so much of a summer colour though.

So the next thing I want to share with every one is the Laura Mercier Mineralise Foundation powder SPF15. I've been using this for about a months now. Remember How I had the Prescriptive Mineralised Foundation?? I thought that was good but it's a bit too dark for me. because it oxidised a bit on me. I read a few reviews.. I came across this one.

This foundation is the best mineralise one i've tried so far. I tried Everyday Mineralise (EDM), Prescriptive, Mac's MSF natural and this one. This has a really nice packaging. Has a shifter you can close if you decide to bring it travelling. The powder is finely milled. NO cakey-ness NO matter how many layers you put. with EDM i found that it will cake.

And When my face gets oily mid day, It looks natural... The powder has some shimmer in it which gives you that GLOW...... healthy skin GLOW without making you look all OILY and yuk.

Fuzkittie Had a post on this before. The coverage i'd say light to medium but buildable. oily control is SOSO not great but has some oil control. No break outs..... The application is just like any other mineralised foundations. Buff in with kabuki brush.

If you want, you can use it as a setting powder. So just lightly sweep it on. I use it semi buffed. I use a kabuki brush but I don't fully buff it in.

Here's a swatch. Top half of my hand has no poweder... so it's matte. the bottom half is applied with the powder.. You can see that sheen it creates.. HEALTHY skin.. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I high recommend this. I mean seriously. Save your money trying all other stuff. This one is the one.. Atleast for me It is. I can see my self actually finishing all that powder. while the other ones will be sitting in the draw waiting for me to use them LOL.

Hope you like my new blush...... =D

P.S: I got a pharmacology exam coming up.. all those drug names and mechanisms is making me crazy............... wish me luck..... and have a great weekend.. BACK to study.>__<

[]Perfect Brow []~~~

Hey all.
Just fulfilling a request today by Jo. I was asked to show how I do my brows. Well I thought I might as well include some magazine scans as how the professional people does it.

Sorry that this is in Chinese but the pictures are quite clear and understandable.
[] You can click to enlarge the pictures[]

Brows are quite important I think, because they shape your face and different brow shapes give people different impressions. So it's best to have a natural and tidy brow so you look more awake and defined.
This picture above is how I do my brows. basically the same. I first decide what kind of shape of eye brow I want, I just follow the natural hair line for my brow. Trim off the access long hairs. DO NOT SHAVE UR eye brows to SUPER short or non existent. Unless you want to TOTALLY reshape ur brow.. it will look super un-natural ><

After you plucked away unwanted hair and trimmed ur brow so they are neat. Then you apply ur eyebrow powder. Light colour for inner brow near the nose bridge. and Darker colour towards the end. and blend in so that it looks natural.

Then I set my brow with brow set. and good to go ^___^

The next few pictures is for people with different eyebrow shapes and as to how to fix them.

The picture below shows how to do your brow if u have very faint brows to begin with.

The next picture is for people with dark/thicker brows.

THe next picture is for brow corrections.

the next picture is for uneven toned brows where one is lighter than the other.

The Next picture is for 2 weird shaped brows.

The next picture is for incorrect brow defined shapes. or uneven brows

I personally have Dark harid brows. My natural eye brow hair is quite hard and dense. So I can't really redefined my brow shape. I try to make my brow look a bit lighter ie a dark /medium brown colour so it's matched with my hair. THey said normally your brow should be 2 tones darker than your hair colour.

So all I use Daily is

- Mac Brow Set in Beguile

- Lavshuca's Eye brow set in LB-1

There are many brow items out there. brow pencils, powder, brow gel.

But normally you use a pencil or powder to fill in your brows and use a gel to set ur brow shape.

That's all I can think of. Hope it helps. ^____^

Takes all.. weekend is coming up.. YEAH =D

HauL & Updating ~~~

Hey all;

How was every one's week? I wonder how did every one spend their Halloween?? I had to work but there was a couple of kids came to our home for "trick or treat".. gave them so much lollies and chocolates hahaha. Hope their parents don't mind them having bags and bags of sugar.. LOL


Any ways, I have a couple things I wanted to show you guys. I've been using these two items everyday since I bought.. and all i can say is I"M LOVING IT!!!!...

First is the Shu Uemura's blush duo,colour is in Rhythm.. I think it's like Mac's Dollymix + Nars Laguna in a way. you can use the colours separately one as contour and another as blush, or you can mix the colours together to how ever you like.

The colour is pretty true in these photos, what you see is what you get..


THe packaging is cute, easy for just putting in the makeup bag and reapply through out the day.

One thing though, they don't stay on as long as my NARS blushes, but still pretty good. pigmented so your brush actually pics up the colour. I kind of dislike Mac's Sheer tone blushes.. because it's hard to pick up products on the brush...

Another item that i'm loving now is the NARS Ondine.~~~

Who ever is out there a NARS fan or even eyeshadow fan, you have to go and check out this colour!!!!!.. It's so damn pretty and versatile.. It's a taupe brown with purple undertone. YOu can use it with browns or with purples and even greys.. just so pretty..

It has gold sparkles in it. some ppl review that there's alot fall outs, but It was ok with me cuz I didn't FULLY pack on LOADS of eye shadow.. I use it in my crease or as liner colour. PRETTY.~~~

Here's a swatch.. I'd say the colour in this photo is pretty true compare to real life. and you can see the sparkles in there.

By the way. I cut my hair. LOL. decided to get it cut. so it's not as frizzy and long and annoying HAHAHA

[] USING shu uemura's blush on cheek[]

So here's the result.. I look older actually LOL

A photoshopped GLOWING photo LOL... just mucking around

As for this dog, I came home one day. and he was in the yard playing with my dog LOL... I don't know how he got in our fence. but I brought him back to his owner down the street because he is marking his territory all over our yard....

That's all for today... Hope everyone had a great weekend.............

Take cares
