Botanics face balm and cleanser

2012-09-19T07:07:00.002-07:00

I was looking into balm type moisturizers these days and came across this product at Target. I first tried the organic face nourishing eye makeup remover b/c face super balm was sold out at there. Loved the remover, it is indeed very moisturizing and it doesn't sting your eyes, gets rid of makeup super clean. The consistency is gel- like oil that turns into white liquid when you wash off with water so it's super easy to get it off.

(I hate those removers that are so hard to get it off from your skin, what's the point of erasing makeup if you can't get the actual cleanser off? )

So after loving the product I went and got the other two products. It was quite hard to find the face balm, I had to go to 3 different Target stores to get it, and I snatched the last one at the store.

(you can order at Target website here or Boots online here)

Out of the three product, I am least fond of this product. It's a Deep Clean Mousse for dry skin.

sample testing # ONE_ dr. brandt dark spot no more

2012-09-19T06:02:00.002-07:00

So I received a sample along with my purchase from Sephora.

The sample packet is actually a decent size, enough to try out for a week if I use it on spots, where I have freckles and dots I guess.

So far, it's been D-4 and I had no irritation or breakouts! I know I really can't expect a difference over couple of days using the product but still you never know I guess :)

I will post a review after I am done with it. ( Btw, the picture was taken before testing the product out and sorry for the scary looking eye hahaha)

Searching for a makeup vanity/storage?

2012-09-19T05:37:00.001-07:00

I recently re organized my room and bought couple different things from IKEA. One of them was HELMER. It's $39.99 and has 6 drawers that is perfect size to store makeup for most of the people. you can get it from here. I picked up 3 dividers from IKEA also, it's called ANTONIUS. It's displayed online but you have to get in store. It's $3.00 per basket. Just for the information, I thought it would be located in the market area but they had in mattress section ( which was kind of odd, i had to go upstairs again :T) It's very easy to set up, it took me little bit more than one hour.

bb cream review number one

2012-09-19T03:59:00.001-07:00

Lioele water drop BB SPF 27

Innisfree mineral cover BB SPF 35

Tony moly aqua aura moisturising BB SPF 30

It's in the same order from the top to bottom from the list I wrote above

As you can see three of them have different color pay offs.

if you look closely, Lioele BB cream have kind of cool formula, it forms water bubbles as you blend.

Innisfree BB cream doesn't oxidize unlike most of the BB creams. The finish color is basically the same color you see. Even though it looks bit light, it works on me the best b/c it has yellow undertone.

Tony moly BB cream is the most moisturizing one out of the three ( and most BB creams I tried before) However, it doesn't give dewy finish even though it feels moisturizing. I am thinking this will be most used during the winter when my skin is at the driest.

I love looking at the catalogues from department stores, it's always printed on such a nice materials. Love how the makeup products are beautifully set up on the page, so pretty.

2012 fall makeup trend looks like nude/natural eyes with matte red lips.

Also, love strong arched eye brows on these two models. I wish I can pull it off :T

CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua in B10 BEIGE PASTEL - a perfect foundation for the summer

Innisfree Mineral Cover BB Cream - finally a bb cream that does not oxidize on me, or at least, no grey dead looking skin! However, the bb cream take a while to set.

Innisfree olive real essential serum - very very hydrating serum, smells really yummmmy for some reason , hmm kinda like fruit juice? What i really like about it is that it does not feel heavy although it leaves a nice sheen on my skin, great product for dry skin people that are sick of using heavy creams.

Bobbi Brown Hydrating face tonic - My very first Bobbi Brown skin care product and I am impressed! I came across this product from a sleep over at my friend's place and bought it right after :) It's really moisturizing even tough it's a tonic. I use it right after i wash my face.

the saem cool fresh sparkle mist Mojito - It's got very fine mist and it does not leave water drops drooping all over your face, perfect to use before and after makeup.

DKNy sweet delicious pink macaroon - I was debating between this and cremey meringue and I tried so hard to remember which scent i liked more b/c I had to order on amazon. It was back in May at the duty free that I first smelled it , I should have gotten it back than! Anyhow, so I decided to get the macaroon b/c I think the other one was too sweet for my taste. And I like it! At first it's got light floral scent and slight sweet scent that later changes into sweet and soapy baby powder-ish scent.

eos strawberry lip balm - I am picky with lip balms and although this is a overly hyped product to my surprise this is a good product! I am very happy to find another lip balm that works other than the Blistex mint flavored lip balm. It;s the only lip balm that worked on me but I was getting really sick of it for such a long time.

Maybelline the Falies Volum express - a classic favorite mascara! it's inexpensive and gives volume.

Tony Moly crystal blushers; 04 milky violate and 05 sugar brown - nice matte, cool tone blushers works great on my red cheeks. I use sugar brown for shading around my nose since it does not have warm under tone it looks more natural.

Stila in the light eye shadow palette - I came across this from watching Gemsmaquillage youtube video. It's got easy to use colors and fairly good amount of mattes. Love the eye liner that's in it, it's worth every penny.
