Facebook messenger "active now/ active xm ago"

Well, it all started with curiosity. 

When you use the facebook messenger app, you will something on top indicating whether the person is "active now" or "active xm ago". 

So to satisfy my curiousity, I conducted a short experiment and I have found out that; 

- If you go on facebook, a person on messenger will see you as "active now". 

- If you open your messenger app but do not open any messages, a person on messenger will see you as "active xm ago". Meaning the last time you open a message or go on facebook. 

- However, if you open your messenger and you proceed to open a message (doesn't matter if you answer or just viewing the message), your time status will be "active now". 

Just as a reminder, this so called experiment of mine was for my phone so I don't know if it will be the same for a pc/ laptop. :) 

I didn't find any satisfying answer elsewhere so I decided to check myself. 

Hope you guys got something from this post xx 

[Review] Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Balm #02 Natural Beige

I'm actually over the moon that I finally got to purchase this balm :3 thank you Etude and their sweeties club promotions. (Though I do hope that the branches in malaysia would start their membership program like nature republic and tony moly did) 

This the package~~ the box size is quite similar to their bb cushion. 

What I like about the packaging is the shell-like top. It's just really pretteyy~~ ㅋㅋㅋ 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It looks pretty similar to the bb cushion 

Buutt...

Look at that~~ it's all swirly inside :D 

What it really is, it's part volumer and part bb cream. It follows the exact measurement of 2:1 that you need when using bb cream and volumer on its own. 

It's really good because you don't have to waste time estimating how to pump out the correct measurements every time. (The human hand apparently has a mind of its own XD) 

This is the puff given

And here's a closeup (because I recently got some lenses that helps me take macro pictures) :3 

It doesn't absorb the product much compare to normal sponges. So you're not wasting products. 

Before 

After

I say it's really good at covering most freckles and and my dark under eye circle. That is only 1 layer. I suppose 2 layers would cover the face prefectly but I am not a fan of heavy makeup so I usually only apply 1 layer. 

For smell~~ it does have a fragrance to it that stays for a while after you apply it but it didn't bother me much. 

Lasting power~~ I say it lasts for 4-5 hours. Gooooood :3 

Final look

Well, that's it for the review. It's definitely a long one. Thanks for reading xx 

[Review] Peri's Tint Lip Crayon by Peripera #Fruity Orange

Everytime I go to my local drugstore, I would always, ALWAYS stop at the makeup area even when I never even intended to buy any. It's like magnetic attraction XD

So, I've always had my eyes on these crayons so finally I decided to get one 

 This is Fruity Orange. They have 2 more shades I think. One is pink and the other is green but changes colour when you apply it on your lips. I was torn between getting green or orange and finally I got orange because I thought I've got enough pinks. 

Swatched on the back of my arm

I think, putting concealer on your lips first would help to show the actual colour of the crayon because it's kinda sheer. I usually apply 3 layers using the apply-blot-reapply method to a get nice and natural look

In a different lighting (not much difference ei) XD

It does say on the box that it will give you juicy lips. Well, it's sheer and shimmery so your lips will look juicy but that won't really last that long 

How I think it would look like at very bright areas. 

Smile~~ :) 

So, my last few opinions 

- based on the glossiness, I say it is mosturising enough.

- doesn't exactly last long like a normal liquid tin which I had expected.

- if you exfoliate beforehand, the lip colour will look better and it won't accencuate your chapped lips. T___T

- fragrance : yes

So, that's ny review for the lip crayon. 

I hope you guys enjoyed it. 

Cheers xx 

[Review]Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner in #02 Brown

Hi Hello~ ^______^

I have a lot of eyeliners. A LOT!
But this is my only gel in a pot eyeliner so far and I love it!

So, it claims to be

• - more intense ( I don't know compare to what but it does have a quite intense colour)
• - UP to 36-hours lasting (Have not tried this but since I don't wanna wear eyeliner for 36 hours, I'll take its words for it)
• - Smudge-proof and waterproof (Yes, once it dries it will completely stick to your skin :)) 

This is how it looks like on my palm. Isn't it the cutest. So small.
Don't worry, you'll still have enough product. ^^

It comes with a nice brush but in my opinion, a small angled brush is the best to apply the gel liner.

I got mine in #02 Brown since I didn't want black~

That's a swatch that I did on the back of my hands. (sorry for the fugly hands T___T)
I only swatched one layer...
So, I sprayed it with water and then tried to rub it off with a tissue.
Annnnnnnd~~~ It didn't smudge one bit nor did the colour fade.

oh..I guess you guys can see another line next to my swatch.
That was actually the first swatch I did with the liner and then I tried to remove it with a bit of makeup remover...which didn't help at all. So yeah..now you know how good it is then XD

Don't worry, it'll come off with makeup remover. you just have to work at it a tad bit harder dearies ^^

That's all then.
I hope you guys find this review useful and see you later.

Cheers xx

[Review] MAC in Please Me

Hai Hello chingudul~~

Haven't been posting anything lately but I've actually bought gazillion of stuffs and I don't know when to start. XD nice excuse.

Well, Since I'm liking the lipsticks from this brand, I've decided to write about Please Me by MAC.
It's finish is matte.
Kinda drying but if you prep your lips with lip balm and did some exfoliating prior to using the lipstick then it won't matter much. ;)
I took it in different lighting points :3 The third picture is the most similar to the color when it is applied on the lips.

Taken from my phone

It also looks different on the lips depending on the light as well. It's a very pretty color and I would definitely use it if I don't want to think too much or when I'm in a hurry XD. It lasts for about 4 hours with eating and drinking and probably more if you don't.
It will feel dry after some time but I fixed that by dabbing some lip balm which kinda helps.

Please Me is one of MAC's bestsellers and I see why. I see this color looking really really nice on any skin tone.

A tip: It looks better when applied using a brush and it lasts longer too. :)

I hope this review helps if you've been scrolling through dozens of blogs looking at reviews (like I did) ㅋㅋ

 

[Review] Etude House CC Cream in Silky

I haven't had the time to post things because our house internet line had gone completely loopy and we had to keep asking them to fix it. But, it's stable...for now. So I'll try to put in as much reviews as I can as I had gone loopy myself and bought tons of makeup that my friends might do an intervention for me XD

Let's start aye ^^

This is mine ^^

I've actually had it for quite some time now (few months) and I got it off roseroseshop.com. Their store is amazing and the shipping is great. :) I don't remember the price but I think it was around GBP 10-13.

It claims to have 8 multi-functions in 1 (don't know if I wrote that correctly but bah) haha. [this are what it says on the box)

• Anti-Aging
• Stress Relief
• Hydration
• Whitening
• Sun Protection
• Tone Up
• Smooth Texture
• Luminosity

1) Anti-Aging and Stress Relief
I don't really know about it's anti-aging and stress relieving properties but I guess it's in the ingredients. sorry~
However, it does have a a scent that makes me happy when I apply it so it somewhat relieves my getting ready in the morning stress. ㅋㅋㅋ

2) Hydration
It's a water based cream so it moisturizes the skin. I use it after I apply my moisturizer so it's hard to tell if gives good hydration or not. I do notice it emphasized my dry areas though, but that can be prevented if you exfoliate well. ^^ (It's autumn so my face gets dry far too quickly for my liking)

3) Whitening
This I agree, it really brightens my skin so I often use it under my eyes first. Then, I would either apply it onto areas that need brightening or to my whole face. Depends on whether I'll be using any BB cream or foundation afterwards. I do secretly hope it magically whitens my skin in the long run. >__<

4) Sun Protection
The cream contains an SPF of 30/ PA++ so you can skip the sunscreen if you won't be under the sun the whole day. It's bad if you're planning to take any flash photography because it will just reflect the light and make you look bad. :(

5) Tone Up and Smooth Texture
hmmm..This seems to relate about making your face feels smoother after application. It makes a good make-up base or primer. XP

6) Luminosity
It suppose to give you a healthy kinda glow which I like because my skin is normally dull and gloomy so it makes me look fresh when I use it. ~happy girl~

Swatches on my hand and face :)

It has micro capsules that burst when you rub them

You'll end up with this colour

Then blend it more

On ma face

bare faced with redness and dark eye circles

hard to find the same lighting

The redness is gone and under eye circle is brightened up a little bit

I still have to use some concealer under my eyes.
It has a really light coverage compare to bb creams and I actually use this on a day to day basis.

I would totally repurchase it, maybe in glow but I also want try the other cc creams in the market. ^^
Though I do love my etude house. ㅋㅋ

I hope you guys enjoyed this review now. Bye~ :))
