First & Second Impression: Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Essential Mattes, Cream Blush & Amazing Lipstick

As someone who is absolutely fanatic about discovering new makeup brands and new makeup products, I find myself looking for the best price and deal around town. I find it hilarious that my friends called me the best bargain hunter. They said I always make them spend 😛 . You’re missing out big time if you didn’t follow me on Instagram because that is where I shared the most about my daily discovery.

There’s a new makeup brand phenomena happening recently and a little birdy told me earlier that this brand is very affordable. If you still don’t know yet, Makeup Revolution is the brand that I’m talking about and they finally made it to Malaysia early December after massive promoting on the Instagram for the past few months. I was sent these to try and I’ve been using all of it diligently for nearly a month. I have mixed feeling about it so here’s what I can tell you based on my first impression as well as my second impression.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet: It has everything you want for a matte lipstick

When it comes to lipstick or any forms of lipstick at all, my go-to has always been matte lipstick. Matte finish lipstick is my absolute weakness. However, having a dry and wrinkly lip makes any matte lipstick application and finishing a challenge. But I still love it. The trick is to have a well-moisturized lips. What about IF I am too lazy for all the prep work and just want to have a matte lipstick to work on my lips? I can name you several matte lipstick that I personally find good but there is one that is a game changer. Introducing Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet v2
When Bourjois opened its first kiosk in Sunway Pyramid back in June 2014, I made my round and was looking for Rouge Edition Velvet in particular. I was of course introduced to Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick (one of their top 3 product) and since I wasn’t into normal lipstick, I decided to wait for the matte version instead.

ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame (Clear/Dark): Absolute must-have brow mascara to tame the unruly brow hair and to keep them in place all day long

I know I am slightly obsessed with anything to do with brow but I swear this ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame ‘came’ to me out of no where. The story is, I haven’t been browsing iHerb for a good few months so I thought of visiting the site to see what’s new. You know, window shopping for fun? But because I have been searching for ‘brow mascara’ through the internet and on iHerb before, this new product – ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame popped right at the recommended product section. I click on the link and the rest is history although the whole process took a few weeks because the product was out of stock. Initially I wanted to get the darkest shade of all (Clear/Deep) but the shade on the tube freaks me out so I decided on the second darkest of the lot, which is the one I’m reviewing today 😀 .

ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame
ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame comes in five shades namely Clear/Light, Clear/Ash, Clear/Medium, Clear/Dark and Clear/Deep. Each of these cost only USD$3 (RM9.81) which is absolutely a steal considering you get two different product with two different function. There is nothing to shout about on the packaging because ELF has always been keeping everything simple from as long as I know them. When it comes to ELF, I’m not bothered by it’s packaging as I am too a minimalist 😀 . Eventhough the packaging is kept simple, I like that I can find all the information that I need to know about the product from the outer box.

3 easy steps everyday makeup with Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream, 123 Perfect CC Eye Cream and Volume 1 Seconde Mascara Waterproof

Undeniably, the beauty industry in our country is blooming slowly but healthily over the past two years with the introduction of various international brands into our market. Everyone I cross path with on the street are majority with makeup on. However (I think I had a culture shock recently) I also learnt that not everyone will put on a proper makeup to work, as opposed to when we met, with proper dressing and makeup. I was in shock when I hear that. I felt like the person whispering “I don’t put makeup to work” is like a double agent. Are you the same too? Because if you are, good. I have the perfect 3 easy step everyday makeup for you that only require you to use three products, and that is Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream, 123 Perfect CC Eye Cream and Volume 1 Seconde Mascara Waterproof.

Bourjois 123 Perfect and Volume 1 Seconde Mascara Waterproof v1.1
Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream, 123 Perfect CC Eye Cream and Volume 1 Seconde Mascara Waterproof is also the product focus for the month of September whereas Bourjois had a limited time offer recently on all three products, which sadly ended on 24th September. I had the products just a few days ago and I just cannot simply post up a review without a proper test run. That explains why I couldn’t post the review up before the 24th September. But no worries, I’m sure Bourjois will come up with a different promotion after this so keep your eyes on their Facebook page ya 😀

Maybelline White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder: Doesn’t impress me much

Most people I know are into liquid foundation and my weakness has always been face powder. It is the one out of the few makeup item I go through like no other’s business. I absolutely hate the sticky feeling of liquid foundation and I just cannot leave the house without dusting powder all over my face. Truth to be told, I was patiently waiting for L’Oreal Mat Magique to be made available in Malaysia several months ago after watching the review on it from ClickNetwork on YouTube. Boy I was sold! So when Maybelline out of the blue launched the White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder, I was intrigued but not intrigued enough to make a purchase. L’Oreal finally launched Mat Magique just a tad bit later than Maybelline and this curious cat was so tempted to know what’s the dealio with the two. I finally bought the Maybelline White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder when Watsons was offering a RM3 off from RM23.90 lol.

Would I thought of buying this if it’s not for the discount? No. I wouldn’t even thought about buying it. I have been reading lots of mix review on this product which explains why I have a reserve on this.

Why Maybelline HyperSharp Liner Laser Precision in Intense Black suits my sensitive, tearing eyes + Winged eyeliner tutorial

It is seriously eyeliner olympic season now girls. With so many brands releasing numerous types of eyeliner product into the market recently, one particular eyeliner pen stood out the most among the rest. It is none other than the NEW Maybelline HyperSharp Liner Laser Precision.

Maybelline HyperSharp Liner Laser Precision Intense Black
I am a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y obsessed with winged eyeliner-do. It’s funny I said that because one year ago, I know nuts about eyeliner what more drawing one! Let’s face it. I have a typical Asian Chinese eye shape that is probably not the easiest shape to draw onto. The biggest mistake I made is that I never study my eye shape before getting on the eyeliner bandwagon. So I practise and practise and practise. I have tried almost all the method there is to get the perfect winged eyeliner. I was fine with one particular way of eyelining until a good friend of mine told me the winged is a little bit droopy. Droopy? What droopy? That’s the shape XiaXue and Cheeserland had! 😀 . You’re in luck today because today I’m not only going to introduce you to the new liquid eyeliner from Maybelline but I’m also going to share with you one easy method to do winged eyeliner, which I just learnt and mastered haha!
