Daiso Silicone Board (For brush washing)

Hye ^^ I'm gonna go a bit out of the norm here by posting this. haha

I read about this on My Women Stuff blog and decided to look for one because I have been using my palm as a kind of washing board to wash my makeup brushes.

Believe me..it was pretty hard to find this in Daiso because there were so so many items. I looked around meticulously and finally found it in the "washing" area.

I gather the original use for it is to wash the collars of shirts which can get stained over time. Might use for that as well but luckily, I don't have this problem for my white or light coloured blouses. Partially because, I tend to avoid applying foundation near the collar to actually avoid staining in the first place.

So this is how it looks like front and back.

Instructions that tell you what part is used for and such :)

A small hole at the bottom for you to place your fingers during scrubbing. Efficiently preventing yourself from getting chaffed. Look at that smile~~ ^___^

Some notes :) (Apparently you can use it ti scrub your bathroom as well)

In a nutshell..

I think it's definitely convenient to have this if you have tons of brushes and it will be much cleaner.
No harm in getting one for yourself for those days when you dread using your hands as a scrubbing board.
It costs RM5 and you can get it in any Daiso stores (good luck) :))

Thanks for reading lovelies. Cheers XX

[Review] Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick in Lacy Mauve

Hye there lovelies...yet another week have passed and so another lippie post for y'all. :)

The chosen lipstick for today is Avon's very own Totally Kissable Lipstick in Lacy Mauve.

It comes in a beautiful mirror-like bullet case. It closes with a nice "click" but somehow, you can still rotate the top. lol
It doesn't come off though, don't worry :)

I like how this picture turned out :)

Pigmentation

It looks kinda like a dark berry red but it doesn't show as that dark on my lips. However, I did notice that it becomes darker as I reapply.

I guess the more layers you put, the darker the colour gets. In the picture above, I actually forgot how many swipes I did so I just put more than 1. By habit, I think I may have applied 2 or 3 times..max. haha..forgive my forgetfulness.

Lip Swatch

Bare Lips

One layer of Lacy Mauve

Ingredients

The bullet was covered with the ingredient list. Usually, I would be so reckless that I wouldn't know how to open it properly. But at this time, I had the decency to use a pen knife. lol

I hope you can see that :3

Fragrance

The usual Avon toffee smell I think (or my brain is accustomed to relate Avon lipsticks to their signature toffee smell)

Staying Power 

Quite well I think. 3-4 hours. This does stain your lips which is a plus for me. You might need to touchup after eating or drinking.

Price

RM 20~25 plus minus. Even lower if you get it on sale. You can get it from your nearest Avon outlet or through an Avon representative. I got mine for around 18.


That's it. Thanks for reading :))

[Review] Za Pure Shine Lips Lipstick in 09 Red Coral

Happy Sunday lovelies~

Chinese New Year holiday just ended and I can finally sit down and write up a blogpost. Two if possible...If~

So, since I am still in my cny mood, I'll post about something red. Today, that is the Za Pure Shine Lips Lipstick in Red Coral #09.

The lipstick is very sheer and it's good if you want a a wash of colour on your lips. I have very pale lips so sometimes I use this on it's own or on top of a lip stain to add some moisture.

It's actually quite similar to Elizabeth Arden sheer lipstick. I remember seeing a colour having a similar shade to this but Za's is about a quarter much cheaper than that lipstick.

This is it with le cap on. Za imprints all over.  Though the way I took the picture, the case looks kinda absurdly tall but it's actually normal sized. haha

Pigmentation

The finish, as I had mentioned earlier is sheer. So, even if you layer it, the colour wouldn't build up much and it comes to a point where you'll only get that much of colour.

There are some glitters but you can't really see them on the lips. 

Ingredients

Nope. I don't have it. Not sure if I didn't take a picture of it or there were none.
But....I have these pictures.

Contains mosturizing agents [Collagen Complex, Hyaluronic acid and Evening primrose oil, provides long-lasting rich moisture and prevents dryness.)

It has mosturizing agents to keeps your lips mosturised. lol (very helpful of me..)
Prismatic Red Pigment....well. That I don't know how or even what to explain.
I found somewhere on a site "The prismatic red pigment
emits a shiny red hue to provide a sheer and brilliantly pure colour" 
 
However, if anybody knows more..feel free to comment down below yea. :)

Directions

They provide you a direction on how to use..

I don't bother using a lip brush because it's very sheer and applied directly from the tube.




I don't have any lip swatch but the colour is quite similar to the arm swatch. ^^

Fragrance

None :)

Staying Power

Stays for a few hours but disappears after meals. 

Price

Retails for RM27.90. You can find it in Watson, Guardian, Sasa, etc. I got mine on sale in Everise for RM16.

[Review] L'oreal Color Riche Le Rouge in CR402 Fairy Touch

Hullo~~~

I've actually had this lipstick for half a year. Had too much on my hand so I missed the early review but it did give ample time to have a good go at this lipstick.

I have the whole collection of L'oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash (which I have not reviewed as well)
teehee which I lovee and I thought I would get the same satisfaction with the lipstick. :/

So, here's the tube

Golden and all...ain't it a beauty. I was going around the store and this tube was just so shiny I can't help it..haha. The square thing outside shows the colour of the lipstick.

pretty top

I think I had more product than this. (Used it a couple of time)

Arm Swatch

The breakdown~

Let's start with...

Finish - Shine

 

Pigmentation - Quite opaque. 2 swipes and you get a beautiful colour. I chose fairy touch because I'd thought so brown-ish colour would look more natural on me. I was right. It's a beautiful shade. Almost cinnamonly.

Fragrance - None

Staying Power - This is the downside..It doesn't stay long. Even if you don't eat, you can see some colour fading. However, I do enjoying reapplying. I would say this colour stayed around 2 hours for me. 

Price - Am not sure. Around RM30 I think.

Me with Fairy Touch

It's still a pretty colour.

Thanks for reading lovelies :)

Cheers XX

[Review] Avon Simply Pretty Love Pop Lipstick in Strawberry and Extralasting Lipstick in Sun Kissed Ginger

Avon had some really good sales going on and some products were practically calling my name. So the best thing to do is answer the call and bring them home with me.

I bought two lipsticks. Simply Pretty Pop Love Lipstick in Strawberry and Extralasting in Sun-Kissed Ginger.

Strawberry is a nice red lipstick
Sun-Kissed Ginger is a true coral (I may have found my perfect coral :))

I don't have an arm swatch for Sun-kissed ginger but I do have one for Strawberry. (I think Berry girls would love this colour)

A beautiful red isn't it :) 

The tube is a pretty colour and cute to bring around. Doesn't look very high end but it goes in my cute list :)





Lip Swatches. (I try to take these in good lighting)
I used my phone.

 Strawberry

Sun-Kissed Ginger

A selca with sun kissed ginger

Fragrance : Strawberry; has a nice strawberry smell that I like. The reason I buy loads of strawberry flavoured lip balms.
Sun-Kissed Ginger; has the typical Avon toffee smell.


Pigmentation : Strawberry is very pigmented. One swipe is good enough. It's so dark it will stain your lips afterwards whereas Sun-kissed ginger is quite sheer and even if you apply a lot of layers it will stay true to its colour.

Staying Power : Strawberry will stay for quite some time whereas sun kissed ginger will disappear together with your food but it will survive through a drink. I don't mind reapplying because it's such a lovely colour.

Price : If you're lucky, you can find them on sale from your local Avon ambassador. In East Malaysia, strawberry costs about RM 5.65 per tube and sun-kissed ginger would be RM 7+- per tube. They usually go on a "buy 2 for" price.

This is the end of this post and I hope you guys enjoy reading this lovelies :)

[Review] In2it Gel Lip Tint in GT04 Melon

I have actually been looking at this product for some time but after all the troubles I have had with lip tints, I almost lost my confidence in them.
However, I came across a blog about it and I kinda fell in love with it so when I saw it the next time, swipe!

For the review, I tried using it alone for the day. So here you go :)

In2it Gelp Lip Tint #Melon

The applicator is flat on both sides. The texture is not that sticky but more to watery. It dries up really fast so one gotta blend them really quick. 

 Arm swatch

After a few seconds, I try to rub it off.

This happened. So you can see why I say blend quickly.

Lip Swatch

- Colour 
It looks kinda dark on the arm but if you blend it well, it would look like the lip swatch above. You can opt not to blend and you'll get a darker colour which is not that bad anyways.

- Pigmentation
Very good :)

- Staying Power
10/10. Lasted a long time without wearing even after I eat. Left a stain as well.

- Ingredients

hopefully you guys can see this.

- Cons
It can be somewhat drying so keep your lip balm handy :)

The end picture (excuse the clothes at the back)

Thanks for reading lovelies :) I hope you guys find it useful~

[Review] Avon Extralasting Lipstick in Pink Peach

This is going to be a mini review. :)

Decided to get one after I saw that Vibrant Coral was really pretty. It was on sale at RM 9.00 so it was a steal.

  Avon Extralasting Lipstick in Pink Peach

 

I was contemplating on whether to get Pink Peach or Vintage Pink. The sister at the counter said pink peach would look good on me (since they don't have any tester at the time) so I got pink peach (you gotta believe what the sister behind the counter tells ya) XD

Honestly, the colour didn't dissapointed me but the wear did. Claimed to last 8 hours, it really don't. Maybe if you don't eat then it might last you a good 3-4 hours but if you do, then the colour would just go away. :/ 

       

                    Arm swatch

The pigment was quite good and the colour is beautiful. :) 

       

         On ma lips~ 💋 (1 swipe) 

Thanks for reading lovelies

[Review] Avon Super Drama Waterproof Mascara in SD22 Brown Black

If I guess properly, this is my first mascara review. I've never done any before because I don't know how to take a picture of le eyes. 

So forgive me but here goes nothing. :) 

      Avon Super Drama Waterproof Mascara

     

My normal lashes (bare face >__<)

     

After mascara application(with makeup) 

     

Yea..another one. Why not. Haha

(Still can't take good eye picture) 

This mascara did live up to my expextation as it gave my lashes volume and length (however, I can't make it too long because it would brush against my lens) so I do a zigzag style but don't finish it. 

I don't have a problem with clumping because I use a tip I got from Gossmakeup to wipe the wand through a tissue to remove excess mascara. I don't find this a problem because your mascara can only last 3 months after opened. :3 

Normal wand style. 

It is waterproof but I did find some residue after I wash my face but can be easily remove. I don't reapply my mascara because I don't see a need for it but I don't see a problem if you want to. :) 

It comes in 2 shades. Black (I think) and Brown Black. I prefer brown black becaus it will look much more natural. 

Well, in a nutshell. This mascara did lived up to my expectation but if given a choice I would still prefer the one from Maybelline. 

My finish look that day :)

P.S. Just in case. Here's my makeup list for those pictures :)

-Sephora Primer (got it as a free gift...came with eye glitter too) 

-Mac studio finish concealer in NW30

-Loreal nude magique cc cream in anti-dullness

-Natural Collection loose powder in Neutral Transluscent 

-Rimmel Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tint in 001 Pop of Pink 

-Silkygirl big eye 2-in-1 eyeliner in 02 Brown Milk

-Avon mascara

-Rimmel apocalips in 101 Celestial

-Etude House eyelash curler

-Rimmel brow pencil in 004 Black Brown (accidentally forgot to take a picture of this) teehee 

Thanks for reading you lovelies :)
