My latest Skin Care Regime

     My Clinique Skincare products are running out so i need to get a new set of skincare. Thought of getting Laneige Skincare regime but they too expensive for me if i buy all of them together, will cost me around RM300 to RM400. After listening to Bin's and Khailing's opinions, I;ve decided to get myself a set of Loreal product instead. It's so much cheaper and no harm giving it a try. =) For cleanser i'm still using Laneige Poreclear cleanser as I've purchased it not long ago and the effect is wonderful. 


1. Loreal Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Smoother Facial Scrub


     I kinda like this scrub as it feels so soft to the skin. It's a scrub and claymask as the same time and can be used daily. For daily cleansing just massage a proper amount on face and then rinse off and for deep cleansing, it can be applied to face for 10 minutes before scrubbing it gently. There are micro white and pink beads in this scrub and effectively remove dead skin and unclog pores. My face feels so soft and subtle after using this product. Oh yeah forgot to mention that the smell is very nice too. =)






White clay(kaolin) with microbeads.



2.   Loreal Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Toner

     I don't really like the toner as i prefer toner that's cooling and dries up faster. This however made me feel slightly uncomfortable and took a longer time to be absorbed into my skin. The Clinique toner is still the best so far. =)





3. Loreal Hydrafresh Moisturizer

     The moisturizer is quite moisturizing and can be used as a sleeping mask if you apply a thicker layer on the face and let it dry without washing it off. I think the effect is quite good for this price range. My face feels hydrated after applying it but it doesnt control the oil on my skin much. The Clinique moisturizer on the other hand mattify my face and the texture is lighter. This Loreal moisturizer looks almost alike the Garnier moisturizer but it's thicker in texture and the Garnier's moisturizer smells better.






4.  Bio-Essence Tri-Action Aqua Boost Intense Eye Cream

     The eye cream is white in colour and have a very thick texture as compared to other eye cream. It dries up a little slower than other eye cream and slighty oily if not dries up completely. I would say that i dont really like this eye cream as i need to wait for it to dry before applying my makeups. I didnt choose to buy the Loreal eye cream as the smell's terrible-indescribable. This Bio-Essence eye cream is made of Hyaluronic Acid(a very moisturizing agent), Olive Oil and Cranberry Oil(both good for maintaining a young looking skin around the eye area and slow down ageing). In my opinion, the texture is thicker than other eye cream in the market is most likely because it's stated as "INTENSE eye cream". Lol!! Acting like expert pulak.. :P




     So those are the stuff i've purchased last weekends and these two products i gt it free from Khailing. : )

1.  Giorgio Armani light master Make-up Primer (travel size)

     It's pinkish in colour and a lil oily. Again, this is my first makeup primer so i dont know whether it's good or not. Btw, Giorgio Armani cosmetics line is not available is Malaysia anymore. Maybe because it's very pricey and not many can afford it.







2. Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals natural Luminous Blush

     Such a long name for a blusher.. Love the Blusher's colour in peach. Slightly heavy for a daily natural look to school so I'll only use it when i put on a heavier makeup. It's a minerals blusher which means that it's suitable for sensitive skin. Besides, it's oil-free and fragrance-free. =) Thankiu Khailing... 



****That's all for now.. Good night.. =) ****

Elf Cosmetic

     As I've stated earlier, i made an online order for Elf cosmetic products and also Victoria Secret fragrance. Here they are... =P


1. ELF Eyelid Primer



ELF Eyelid Primer



Dab some on..



Even it out, feels powdery when it's dried.
This's my first eye primer so i dont know whether it's good or not. Got no other products to compare with. It really made my eyeshadow stays longer on my eyelid.
=)




2. ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Midnight Blue


To me, it looks ugly lar.. 


A single stroke on my hand. Dries up quite fast.
I dont know why they called it Midnight Blue if it looks more like black..  =.=!!



Compare with Maybelline EyeStudio Liquid Liner.
Maybelline's texture is thicker, took a longer time to dry.



: ( The ELF Liner Smudge after i rub it for a few times but the Maybelline's still look nice.
Thumb down for ELF Pencil Liner!!!



3. ELF Dramatic Lash Kit

Havent give it a try yet.



4. ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder

This is how the box looks.


The back of the box with description and blah blah.


Simple design. Look almost like Nars Blusher and Bronzing powder.
Go google if you don't know Nars =)


Yes, that's Donald's butt.. = P


Loves the blusher, looks very natural with a hint of shimmer. 
The bronzing powder is very pigmented, can last for very very long!! 




5. ELF Studio Blush Brush


Nicely packed.


Love the matte black colour. And it's very soft!


The best blush brush i've had so far. Made of synthetic hair, it's antibacterial & luxuriously soft!! 
Suitable for Vegan : ) 




6. Victoria Secret Body Mist - Room 504


Victoria Secret Body Mist - A sultry blend of Amber and Passionfruit.


I dont really like the scent. Smells like a fragrance for Man!!! Yer!



So that's all the products I've ordered. : ) And guess what, i found a few websites selling ELF Product at a much much much cheaper price! Dammit!! Will definitely get more Elf product from them next time! =)

120 Manly Eyeshadow Palette

   Wow at last!! I jumped with joy this morning upon receiving my Manly Eyeshadow parcel from the postman. I ordered it last Thursday and took 5 days to receive it. maybe they start processing it on Friday, and Sunday is a public holiday.
   I've ordered this Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette from www.one2buy.com for RM59.95 exclude deliveries charges. It's a promotional price as the normal price they are selling is RM79.95. They charged RM5.00 for pos laju deliveries. Well, you can also purchase the same product from any other website and the other i've found is www.lelong.com.my but they are selling it at a higher price-RM95.00, hmm alot thou..
  Here's the packing I've received and im gonna show u guys how is't packed. = )



Pos Laju Pakage with a Fragile Sign



The box is wrap with a bubble wrap.. which can protect it from breaking.



Once unwrapping the bubble wrap. Yes "Manly Eyeshadow" sounds real awful and i wonder why they use this name.



Another layer of bubble wrap again.. Keep it real safe.. 



Ew, the ugly box of it.. but look at the inside of it~



Once you open it up..



They stack it together, this is not how it supposed to look when u open it up. I put the upper stack up.
How gorgeous! Muah~~Love the colours~~



Yes they wrap both the stack of eyeshadows with a layer of thin plastic. There's another hard plastic cover above each stack of eyeshadows so that u can protect the eyeshadows when u stack then together.



The Upper Stack - A huge range of Blue, Green and Yellow


Yes they have this cute mixture of colour.



The second stack of eyeshadow. A range of Black-Silver, Blue-Green, Purple, Pink, Red, and Soft tone.
Yes the last one at the bottom is GOLD!! whee!! ; )



      Manly eyeshadow is actually a brand from Hong Kong. U can also find it on e-bay and alot of other website but the websites i mentioned above are for Malaysian online-shoppers. There's no outlet available yet in Malaysia.
     What i really really like is they have both shimmering and matte eyeshadows in this palette which is really good so that u can have either matte or shimmering eye makeup depends on the occasion. This is a really good palette with a wide array of colours, good quality and pretty cheap. The colour is very pigmented and you'll just need a soft swipe on it to get the colour out-which means it'll last long!!  However u need to becareful not to press it to hard with your finger or makeup brushes as the eyeshadow tends to be very soft and powdery. 
     I have not try using it on my eye yet, and will do another review once using it for a few times. This is definitely a good choice for beginners who would like to explore more on eye makeup colours as it's cheap and of high quality. With this, i can start putting makeups for my friends according to the colour of their outfits, yay!
   


Look at the beautiful colours. Just a soft swipe and this is the colour you'll get. Amazing isn't?
And look at that gorgeous gold colour.. That pink on my fingertip is a matte colour.


The yellow-perfect for summer makeup and real funky..


     So yeah, that's it. My Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette with only RM65.95 include postage. Good quality, affordable price and gorgeous colours! Quickly grab one for yourself before the promotion ends. P.S. im not being paid by the company/website to do this, but just to let you know how worthy it is. =)
   I'll continue writing on this and give it a review if i have time.. ; ) Happy Valentines Day!! XOXO
