Review: EOS Honeysuckle Honeydew Sphere Lipbalm

It's Review Time! *ps, m too tired @ work, i need rest!*

EOS Honeysuckle Honeydew Sphere Lipbalm

*disclaimer, picture above is taken frm the EOS webby. 

Haven really been using it consistently as I've really too many still in use. Hence, pls note that my review is based on the few tries that I had. =p

Firstly, I love the smell! Ok let me come straight to the point..

Pros:

Sweet honeydew smell

Taste a little like honeydew as well

Gives a really matte finish (If you want no shine at all)

Lasting and moisturising (when lips are not chappy)

Cons:

A little bulky to carry because of its sphere shape

Not moisturising enough (when lips are chappy)

Too matte (a little shine would be good)

That's about all.. Will update again if I have more inputs! =D

It's random review time!!

For product description, please have a look at the link given above. =p

But seriously, this is actually not bad at all!! 

I usually use it as a lipbalm, but sometimes it can double up as a lipmask (not sure if the word exist)!! When my lips are feeling dry and chapped, I apply a thicker layer of lipbalm and place a layer of plastic over. 10minutes later, my lips will feel much more moisturised!

Pros:

Can be used like a mask for lips

Vanila milk flavoured!

Cute packaging

Cons:

Little bulky

little pricey than usual lipbalms

See the cute box packaging!!

Ciao~

*Pic 1st*

mini haul from John Little and Watsons~

John Little is having sales --> 20% Storewide plus additional 20% off selected pdts!!! Was thinking of using this chance to grab some wants, then I realise there's not much on the list.. And so I controlled my spendings! They are all my "needs" not"wants", I can explain!! =P Needs like Essential Shampoo, Express Cleanser and Biore Sunblock (last bottle in white, dig out from below others wahahah) as I've already used them up.. Just 3 pdts and it's over $30, and got me a free pack of Nude wedges! Anyone tried it before?

Popped by Watson to get my eyebrow liner since JL don't sell Spring Heart pdt. No discount no nothing.. =( But I still got it anyway.. It's a need not a want! lolx.. Ok so I got a small bottle of cleanser as well, need to put at my boi's place. ;p The house brand cotton pad is for making up the $15 so i can claim the points.. wahahah Shhhhhh...

And recently I got a new toner! My previous toner either finished or too harsh.. But i need a toner and spot corrector and so... tadaaaa~ I got this.. *see below*

From the bestbuy-world.. It's good! >$50 and it's free delivery~

<3

Before you get it wrong, not all is mine ok.. At least the Hydra zen moisturiser is not! That's my boi's sis's.. I got myself the Lancome toner 50ml x 4 = 200ml, and the 10ml spot corrector.. 

That's all for today's update!

Stay tune for more~

*I want better skin!*

* Loots & more loots *

OKAY finally I've managed to upload my recent loots and now I'm back to blog!!

BEWARE: It's a MAD long post, loaded with mountains of pictures! <3

So I've been buying quite a bit recently, but I'm trying to control! wahahah.. 

Now let me start with blushers. Thanks to my KAL Xiao Han aka Ah Hiao, I got 2 blushers @ $20 from a website!

They are so lovely! But sadly, i doubt they can be used as a blusher.. More for highlighter(though I suck at it) i guess.. Nevertheless, just looking at it makes me feel so sweet. :)

Then I got my first counter brand fdn, Lunasol! Went for a makeover by Lunasol MA at Orchard Takshimaya and the MA reccommended me OC-01. Just when I wanted to get OC-01 LF, the staff says they are OOS! Damn sad, so i wanted to opt for cream fdn, OOS too! *itchy heart* No choice I had to end up with their 2way fdn.

Seems alot right? But actually is just a 2-way fdn for myself and a e/s for Lyn.. 

And there's the M'sia trip with  2 of my KAL khakis, Ah hiao and Samantha aka Dua Tao to go in shop shop shop~

We went in Sunday early noon and out at ard 6pm, heng traffic was smooth like running tap water! wahahah

This is what happens when dua tao and ah hiao sees nail polish.. Shiny ttm! wahaha

That's my loots of the day. 1 set of Mavala and Etude hse fdn brush for Lyn aka Moleyher(wah ur nick best!) And Dua Tao gave me the mascara free! Wee so happy~

Continuing my recent loots, I must not forget SilkNaturals!! Simply love love them, afforadably cheap and good.

 

 Combined purchase with Moleyher and Adeline aka MM.

These are blusher swatches ok! Hhahaha i post on twitter and so many of them thought they are cane marks.. different colours and so evenly caned sia..  And b4 i forget what are the shades, I took a pic of it!

 

And there's my lippies from SN thus far~

So are still BN, and i'm trying to stop myself from using.. Must finish the other up first (hopefully) =P

And more non SN loots~

Heard many cotters say the water base cleanser is a really effective and good MU remover. Hence itchy me rushed down to Watson, wanted miniature but only saw the dry skin ones, so ended up with a full sized wahaha..

Another Watson trip, feeling damn depressed and went to buy the slimming leg lotion.

Perfume loots from Chinatown.. Their perfumes are really cheap, so I went on to help my friends CP and I got myself a Paul Smith Rose & miniature Versace Bright Crystal.

L'officiel March issue and gwp.

Why I have 2 gwp? It's a complicated story. All I can say is a mishandle-ing and can issue solved with a token of sincerity. =D

 

My purchase yesterday. Desperately need a good exfoliation to see dead skins as my clinique step2 don't seem to make my skin feel "fresh".. Oh and the Missha BB cream is bought over from Yiling, $14 only! Thankew~

Yay coming to an end for this post finally! *Clicks Publish Post* 

Ciao~

Silk Naturals Loot!

Long overdue! But better late than never.. 

Lalala~

Ok here's my SilkNaturals loot that I got just after CNY!

1 Ivory fdn sample in original, 1 Ivory fdn sample in medium, and more lippies + free e/s~

These are all sample blushers I got and 2 free e/s~~ *Smilex*

Moss is a e/s that comes free with purchase over $30! And since I've not much green e/s b4, I requested for 1! TGIF is a sampe e/s that comes free with every $10 purchase. So sweet of them right?? *Blinks*

Did I mention before I love SN blushers? Though I seldom put blushers, but just can't resist the temptation!

Samples I got frm SN as of now (am sure it will still grow Lolx)

Their blushers are so pretty! But i wish they had more matt blushers, shimmer/shiny ones doesn't really suit my face.. But, heck! Just buy~ I simply love how pretty the colours shows up when applied! But I seldom use as my face is pretty sensitive and red w/o blusher, and so if i do apply it'll be a super light handed kind wahaha..

IIRC, from L to R.. Precious(l/g), Maiden(l/g), Mirage(l/s), Foreplay(l/g)

No pic of it on my lips though.. PS. But i really adore how Precious and Foreplay shows up, especially Precious! Precious is a very light semi-sheer colour that lits me up whereas Foreplay gives me a kissable yummy lip colour. For Mirage, it'll be great to go with smokey eyes but not if I want to use it as a base for colour. Maiden is something I gotten previously, used to like it though it runs a little darker than I like. But now, definitely Precious or Foreplay over Maiden.

Last but not least, I even received a lippie sample. Didn't know they still have it as I thought they stopped having them..

It's pretty. But, doubt I will ever use it. Colour is too loud to my liking! =X

Ohh n btw, talking about Silknaturals, I went to mix my foundation just recently again! 

 

On the L, my new mix, R, my old mix.

Though this time is better, But I still think it's a little darker than my neck area.. 

Hmm, shall try another round real soon! Wahahah~

Filler post wahahah

So long! So long since my last entry, more than a month!! But, I cant update with pics yet.. comp laggin, my brain also lagging!

Stay tuned!! 

SOON.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation Review..

Okay time to review.. Hahah but pls note that my review is based after using it for ONLY 2 DAYS. =P

So, after 2 days, my review of this fdn is ALL Positive, at least majority of it is.. =D

Shade, Nude. Thought it would be too pinky or dark for me since it is pink-based. But I would say the shade is a pretty good match for me, but not the exact though.. Noticed this morning before applying loose powder that it's a little dark for me.. Probably a little lighter would be more accurate.. Luckily, my LP managed to help me lighten it a little, making it not too bad.. =) 

Oil control is actually real good! When I reached home yesterday, I took a look at myself in the mirror. No shine-ing face, it's almost a full day from 9a.m to 7p.m! Though I'm using other pdts to help control oil as well.. But usually I still end up with some shine on my nose.. 

Coverage-wise, it's awesome as well! Hee.. Usually I will use bb cream as base/concealer before putting on fdn, with this, I can spread a layer and then layer on a little and it is enough to cover my redness and dark spots! Of course under-eye circles not included lar.. Hahahaha.. 

So here's my conclusion/review of the Revlon ColorStay Fdn.

+ Good match after applying LP( Not the best though)

+ Coverage is Medium to Full (layer on and it's Full coverage)

+ Oil control is superb

+ No cakey

+ No touchup needed (I'm a lazy person)

+ Oxidisation is very little

- Bottle design is not user-friendly

- Dries a little faster than normal foundation (Have to spread fast & well)

- Fdn feels a little thick

- Price a little ex (I mean the usual price)

- Limited shades available in Singapore. 

Hmm, that's about all for now. Guess I shall really give Buff/Ivory a try.. *LEMMINGS*

SHILLS Magical Hair Fully Powder

Opened my mailbox and saw my shills inside!

It's actually quite a small bottle, but lucky i bought it off ebay at less than $10.. And it's so cute!

Not sure if it really works not.. Should apply on wet, semi-dry or fully dry hair? Hmm.. k off to google more about it.. 

SHILLS Magical Hair Fully Powder!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Nude!

I finally got my hands on it!

Lolx.. Have been contemplating whether to get it from online drugstore spree for this fdn in buff.. But is always eye-power only.. So yest, finally i went to JL and bought it at 20% + 10% disc off regular price.. think less than $20? Quite a good deal i would say, minus all the shipping and waiting.. 

Was about to get sand beige, then instead I went to ask whether Nude or Sand Beige is lighter.. SA recommended me Nude, so I took the risk and got Nude! 

Applied this morning, so far so good! I would say the coverage is considered medium to almost full coverage, and the shade match me surprisingly al right(according to my colleague). Seems better than my clinique SuperFit because it's easier to spread.. SF feels drier..

Shall wait till tonight and review more tmr.. Hopefully is a positive 1!

Nature Republic Blusher

Nature Republic Blusher Shine Blossom in #2 (light peachy coral)

My newest purchase in the cosmetics section! Got it the day i went to get my iPhone! It was having a 20% disc, U.P @ $13.90 or $14.90 IIRC.

Actually I got it because I was attracted to the fluffy puff.. *hides*

Cause.. I've never had any blusher with fluffy puff before! Mine are mainly loose pigments or compressed 1 that uses brush to apply.. So this got me just all so tempted, plus it's a new korean brand and with disc! 

hahaha.. ok so here's how it looks like..

Anyone heard of this brand before? It's Nature Republic, a korean brand, but the web is all in korean language, can't understand anything at all.. =(

Avene Loots~

Yes, I bought pdts from Avene yesterday!

Supposedly ALL Avene pdts can be used for sensitive skin, but say if your skin is hypersensitive like how my skin is feeling recently, the above series would be the more ideal 1.

Went cwp with Yus yesterday after work, wanting to get their Anti Shine Lotion. Went in to JL, but the SA there makes me feel she's so bitchy that after asking her a lot of questions, I turned and walked away without buying anything, Hahah.. was feeling mean and evil yesterday.. 

Extremely Gentle Cleanser and the Skin Recovery Cream

Then I went to try Metro, and the SA there is so nice and kind that I got sweet talked into buying the above pdts(bundle of $49) instead of what I wanted initially! Lolx.. But the SA is really *thumbs up*, very polite and patient when explaining all my queries and nicely recommending the pdts to me. She even offered to gave me samples.. (JL SA don't even want to give when I tried to ask) Wanted the Diacneal initially, but SA say don't have so she offered other pdts instead.. So thoughtful right!

Samples: Skin Recovery Cream, Cleanance Anti-Shine Lotion, Cleanance K Skincare, Cleanance Toner

And! I also bought their Avene Thermal Water Spray($20.30 for 2). Lolx, shared the purchase with Yus cause she wanted to get but only needs 1.

Total Damage?? About $70+, but i paid $60 in total cause share Spray purchase.

Feeling Happy yet kinda scared I'll regret my purchase.. Tried the cleanser this morning.. No foam feels so weird.. lolx.. Toner is pretty alright, moisturiser can't really comment yet.. Have to see monitor a few more days i guess.. 

Silk Naturals - Perfect Harmony Sample Kit

OKay! After days, weeks and months of dragging I finally got around to do a post up on how i use their Perfect Harmony Kit.

Includes:

1 Teaspoon of Ivory

1/2 Teaspoon Of Different Base, Warm Gold, Buttery Gold, Olive and Ebony

10g Jar for mixing

1 Measuring Scoop

1 Flocked Sponge

Sample sachet of finishing powder and a eye colour

Instruction Sheet(Lost somewhere.. Lolx)

I choose Buttery Gold & Ivory.. *Tips: see their website for more description on each different base*

Scoop 1 spoonful of Buttery Gold into the mixing jar..

Then time to add in Ivory..

Depending on your skin tone.. You might want to add 3 or 4 spoonful to mix first to try out, and increase the number of spoonful as you deem fit.. *Tips: Search their forums, lots of advise for different skin tones*

Then start mixing..

You'll see something like that.. *PS, i added about 8 spoonful of Ivory lolx*

End pdt.. *Not the best match as it seems duller than my previous 1.. shall twit the base a little.. hahah..

Anyway I did a comparison between my previous recipe and I think the previous 1 is a closer match..

*Tips: Always remember the number of spoonful and base used!*

So that's how I did my mix for Silk Naturals Foundation~

Pros:

Fun to mix around

Get perfect match(eventually)

Does not cakes up on my face

Medium Coverage

Cheap & Affordable

Cons:

Might not get the perfect match at first try

Not fully matt

Guess I need to order more to play around with different recipes!! Hahah..
