BB cream hunting

It's time for BB cream.And it is a solution that I have for the time being.I have quite a long daily facial/makeup routine everyday and it cost me a gazillion babbles and mind torture everyday.Thanks to my husband.pffttttt
Here is my daily routine before,
1)Cleanse
2)Tone-after done toning,wait 1-2 minutes to dry
3)Apply essence - wait another 1-2 minutes to dry
4)Moisturizer - wait another minute to get absorb
5)UV cream - wait another minute to get absorb
6)Foundation
At least 5-6 minutes to get all the facial routines done before start makeup.Apply powder,blusher,mascara, lipstick n lip gloss.phewwww...it really took me a good 20 minutes to finish them.
I was desperately to skip routine no 4-6, and later I found out about BB cream.Not that I didn't know about it before, this time I really into the benefits of BB cream.And what makes me so excited was, BB cream does cover steps 4-6.yeayyy.time savvy. 
There were a few brands of BB cream & tinted moisturizer that I've tried.Here are my review.

1.Loreal UV Perfect BB Max

I've tried using this for few days.It wasn't too oily on my skin.The texture was fine.Not too thick.One thing that bothered me was the color.It made my skin look 'grey'.Affordable price.

2.Stilla Sheer color tinted moisturizer

I bought this after the SA at Sephora convinced me that this is the best for my skin.I used it for a few times also but the result wasn't nice.It is sheer, and sheer doesn't goes well with oily T-Zone area skin like me.It just added more 'sheer' on my skin.The product claimed oil free...well, not really oil free.It is pricey & what a waste because it doesn't suit with my skin.pfffftttt..

3. ZA Total Hydration BB Cream

The texture is a bit thick -like foundation.It's a bit oily on my Tzone area.Just a bit..Plus it got high SPF.I'm comfortable with this one & been using it more than a month now.The price is affordable.
The product claim;

12 in 1 BB Cream Benefits:

1) Conceals Dullness

2) Conceals Pores

3) Creates Healthy Skintone

4) Evens skintone

5) UVA

6) Brightens Skin

7) Mositurize Skin

8) Makes skin look smooth and translucent

9) Non-sticky

10) Livens Up Skin

11) UVB

12) Perfects Skin for Make Up

Make up review - mascara

yeah, another review on my favorite make up stuff.Found new brand mascara that really wow's me...let me share with you guys...
Honestly, never heard of this brand before.It is a Korea brand.Found it accidentally when I was browsing around beauty department @ Parkson KLCC.and in love with it instantly.

My currently utmost favorite mascara (well not really a mascara, i would prefer to call it lashes potion)
This wonderful product is called - Eye charm - and it's definitely a charm

Shizens - Eye Charm
It is fibre.It lenght, volumize and curl your lashes to the max.It is easy to clean off.
It might leaves fibre residue on your skin, but no worries,just brush them away, it will gone in a second!
I really,really lovedddddd this product!!

Shizens - Long lasting Mascara
I would rate it equal to maybelline mascara (maybelline mascara is my 2nd most favorite mascara).
The good thing is, it wont leaves your lashes hard after applying it, your lashes will be softer.
It also easy to take off, long lasting and waterproof.

Kiehl's - Serum -Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution review

I've tried this product and it works for me!*wink*
My acne scar/dark spot almost gone within 2 weeks of using this...
It supposed to be used on night and morning, but it's a bit oily on my skin, so I just used it on night only...

I loved it, you guys should try this serum . Although it's a bit pricey (about RM 200 in Malaysia), don't worry, the bottle will last long enough, it only needs 3-4 drops every time per use.

Makeup review - mascara

Simplysity Simply luscious Dual Mascara

My favorite makeup stuff, I mean the most favorite is Mascara, and I kinda obsessed with it.So, when I fisrt laid my eyes on this mascara, I instantly in love with it.With the dual functions, the case & the brushes!

Pros:
1.Handy packaging comes with dual function, to curls & volumes your lashes
2.Easy to take off

Cons:
1. Semi water-proof

To me, it just a beautiful case only.It didn't work on my lashes, frankly no effect at all after re-applied it over & over except it stick my lashes lol...why oh why??

Hada Labo product review

I was attracted to start using this product by this range - Lifting + Firming Care (yeahhh, considering the age factor I really need this kinda range of skin care)
Unfortunately, for this range - Lifting + Firming Care, no facial wash offered.It start with the lotion and so on..
So I've to use other's Hado Labo product range as for my facial wash.
So, here basically what I currently used.

Facial Wash - day

It's really moisture my skin..

 Facial Wash - night

After 2 months of using this product, I noticed my skin  is lighter than before.This product can  effect minimal skin peeling (you can barely see/feel the peeling on your skin) in order to remove any dull/dead skin, dark spot etc.It should be used  with sunscreen lotion/moisturizer, that's why I only used this during night.

 Toner/Lotion

Yup, it does a god job on my skin.My skin felt firmer than before.

What I like the most about Hada Labo products , they are fragrance, mineral oil, alcohol & colorant free.Also, skin PH balanced & low irritation. For more info Hada Labo products please check it out here.

For this moment, I think I gonna stick with this product & I'm loving it.Gonna try another products in Lifting + Firming Care range soon.

Nude Makeup

Solekan ‘nude’ kembali diminati

Oleh Norhadiani Baharom
yanie@hmetro.com.my

     

PADA majlis penganugerahan Golden Globe yang lalu, selebriti wanita A-List Hollywood kebanyakannya memilih warna ‘nude’ dan lembut daripada berlumba-lumba mencuri tumpuan bergincu merah.

Bibir berkilat, namun tetap mengancam sekalipun solekan teduh mendamaikan mata
memandang. Solekan ‘nude’ pernah menjadi satu ‘trend’ yang besar untuk musim bunga/musim panas 2009 dan kali ini ia kembali menggegarkan!

Inspirasi solekan bintang di Golden Globe, Hayden Pannetiere yang kelihatan berseri dan berkilau atau mahukan gaya penuh glamor berkilat seperti Jennifer Lopez. Jika mahu solekan ‘nude’ yang dramatik, boleh memilih gincu ‘matte’ yang seksi seperti Eva Mendes. 

Komen jurusolek selebriti tempatan, Tiar Zainal, gaya solekan ‘natural’ kembali menjadi ikutan sejak 2011 lagi selepas warna berani dan ‘vibrant’ mendominasi pentas peragaan tidak lama dulu. 

“Masih bersolek tetapi tampak seperti tidak bersolek itulah pengertian solekan ‘nude’. Pemilihan bedak asas dan bedak ‘compact’ haruslah betul dan sekata dengan warna kulit sebenar. Begitu juga dengan pemilihan pembayang mata, pemerah pipi dan gincu yang terdiri daripada warna tanah. Teknik aplikasi solekan sebegini adalah secara ‘minimalist’.

“Solekan sebegini memang sesuai ke majlis anugerah kerana biasanya apabila menghadiri anugerah selebriti akan bergaya sakan dengan gaun dan busana yang indah dipadankan pula aksesori. Pemakaian yang sarat boleh diimbangkan dengan solekan sebagaimana sering saya lakukan kepada Liyana Jasmay dan Scha Al-Yahya.

“Akan tetapi jangan salah faham ‘nude’ bukan solekan pucat tetapi solekan nipis yang masih mampu menaikkan seri wajah. Kenapa selebriti antarabangsa atau orang kulit putih gemarkan solekan ‘nude’ kerana mereka mempunyai raut wajah sempurna.

“Bibir terukir, hidung mancung, mata berkelopak dan raut wajah terbentuk serta yang tidak memerlukan mereka bersolek tebal,” katanya.

Makeup review - eyeliner

Silky Girl precision liquid eyeliner


I really like the brush.Not too soft & easier for me to apply it on my eyelids.The product claims it's waterproof.
But the color wont last long on my eyelids;(

Safi Rania Gold Review

Actually  I didn't used the whole sets of Safi Rania Gold (SRG).I only used the cleansers, toner & eye contouring cream.Here is my reveiw :p


1)SRG Facial wash
Product claim:
It claims that it is not only cleanse the skin from dirt's, but also effectively removes make-up & making the skin feel fresh all day.It is enriched with various nutrients that moisturizes, soften & smooth en the skin after each wash.
It leaves the tightness on my skin after using it.:(

2) SRG Facial Scrub
Product claim:
Helps to remove dead skin cells effectively to gain the glowing and healthy skin.
I loved it!

3)SRG Deep Cleansing Gel
Product claim:
Suitable for dry skin, with PH balance formula & its gentle to your skin because it does not undermine the skin's natural emollients each time of wash
The best of cleanser.My skin is so soft and firm after using it.No more tightness.

4)SRG Toner
Product Claim:
SRG Toner formulated with rose essence helps to cleanse & prepare the skin to absorb moisture optimally.
So-so!

5)SRG Eye Contour Cream
Product Claim:
SRG Eye contour Cream is specially formulated to improve the structure of soft skin around eyes, reduces fine lines & dark circles.
It works on me if consistently used.My dark circles around eyes is lesser.

Overall ,I can tell is I quite satisfied.My skin is less dull after consistently using them about a month.

Makeup Review - Blusher

SimplySity - Feminine Blusher

It comes with a cute container.I love this color, vintage pink.Easy to apply with this form of blusher, no need to use brush (but using brush to apply blusher is more neat).One thing I notice is,you must dab on your palm first before dab on your cheek.It doesn't come out if you straight way dab on your cheek.Not suitable for long wearing.

Make up Review - Mascara

Just tried out 3 brands of Mascara recently ;)

Sephora Lash Plumper

First thing that I was attracted to when I saw this mascara is, it brush.I thought with this kind of brush it will give the wow effect on my lashes. But unfortunately it didn't:(

The brush is too big for my lashes, it can't even reach the root of my lashes.In fact,it didn't work for my lashesh.It didn't curl, length not even plumper my lashes.The only good things are, it didn't clump my lashes & easy to clean.This one is not waterproof.

Silky Girl High Definition

Same goes to this.Effect nothing on my lashes although it claimed 'high definition'.The good thing is waterproof.

In2it Lash Extra

It did lenghten my lashes, easy to clean & waterproof.Out of 5, I give 3.

P/S:Maybelline Mascara is still the best so far, whose agree with me??anyone..

Mascara guideline

• The most important is, choose multifunction mascara-lengthens, curls and thickens eyelashes..


• For the most dramatic effect,use eyelashcurler before applying mascara to get your eyelashes more curler.


• Pull the mascara out of the bottle from the same direction. Avoid mascara from expose to light/heat and wind as it will cause the liquid hardens easily.


• Place the mascara brush on the bottom lashes. Slowly apply the mascara from the root to the tip of your eyelashes with zig zag motion. Try several positions to get the best result. Try not to blink until you are sure your mascara dries. Apply a second coat for more dramatic effect.


• Apply mascara from inner to outer lashes


• Use cotton bud to clean messy mascara around eyes

Make up Review

Sephora Lipstick - Lip Attitude

The moment I put on my lips, I knew this is the best among the best of average brand so far..

Texture are soft & light, it is matte type, could long last on your lips.Plus, it won't dry my lips so far...but, the stick is too soft, easily to break or melt in slight heat..

Mine is Rouge ;)

The balm eye liner

The balm eye liner

Ohhh...I really like the box,so retro...anyway, it comes with 3 mini eyeliner color, black , grey & choclate.Although it claims waterproof, apparently it's not. The good thing is, it's very easy to apply & got smooth texture.I won't recommend for long wearing, it's quite expensive some more!*wink*
