Estée Lauder Crescent White Full Cycle Brightening UV Protector SPF 50/PA++++: Superb sun protection, hydrating, non-oily and it makes a good makeup base as well

Estée Lauder Crescent White Full Cycle Brightening UV Protector SPF 50/PA++++ came to me at the right time, just before my road trip up north to Penang. I couldn’t think of the most perfect time to test out this sunscreen other than a place as hot as Penang. I’m not sure about you but the Northern part of Malaysia has always been hotter than KL in my context.

Even before the road trip, I’ve been using this Crescent White UV Protector everyday under my makeup. To be honest, I was expecting a heavy sunscreen judging from it’s creamy white consistency and that my face would be a total oil slick within the next few hours so I was really surprised to find out that I experience none of those. Tsk tsk tsk. Never judge a book by it’s cover, eh? 😀

Skin Food Black Egg Pore Gel Base: The lingering scent puts me off but I like the velvety matte gel that minimize the appearance of large pores

The best thing about my job and the industry I’m in is that my client sometimes give me products to try. The very first time I met up with Skin Food a few months ago, I went to their office. The marketing girl and I had similar skin problems, except that her skin is better than mine by double. We spoke about oily skin, large pores and how foundation melts on our types of skin. Throughout the conversation, I was staring at her skin. She looks like she had foundation on but in fact she only apply makeup base. That’s right. Only makeup base. A makeup base that gives her a little bit of coverage, fills in the pores, smooths out uneven skin tone and controls sebum. At the end of the meeting, she gave me a tube of Skin Food Black Egg Pore Gel Base to try along with a few other goodies to take home.

Skin Food Black Egg Pore Gel Base
The Skin Food Black Egg Pore Gel Base is a pore-refining makeup primer that minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. Usually pore-refining product contain silicone in it but not this one. It’s comes in a gel-ish fluid that does not feel silicony at all. It has a tint of shade to it to smooth uneven skin and at the same time to brighten dull skin tones. It also claimed to control sebum, just like what Skin Food marketing girl told me.

Estée Lauder Crescent White Full Cycle Brightening: Say goodbye to dull skin and hello brighter even-toned skin!

I’ve been secretly using the full range of the NEW Estée Lauder Crescent White Full Cycle Brightening for months now. I’ve also secretly wean off from using acne mark gel and a few other skin care brand/range to the basic anti-aging and brightening skin care regime. Recently I received lots of compliment that I have good skin although personally I hated the large pores and acne marks. I was told by a BA during a makeover session that good skin to them is all about the skin texture refinement, radiance and healthy skin. According to them, I have plump, bouncy skin, glowing complexion and I don’t have pimples or wrinkles. I was secretly giggling because I was using a brand that is not theirs 😛

Last year I trial CyberWhite HD range and it gave me fantastic result. You can click on this link for the review. This year, Estée Lauder came out with a whole new Crescent White and I get to try the whole range!

Estee Lauder Crescent White
Despite my professed love for CyberWhite HD and how it totally changed my brightening skin care routine, there are many who doesn’t quite like the range as much as I do due to the slippery texture and scent. I personally have no issue with that and I managed to work around it but for those who are not happy with those issues, well good news! Estée Lauder heard you and your feedback because I find that this new Crescent White is the improvised formulation of CyberWhite HD, if not better. Whatever you complaint before are rectified through this Crescent White range.

SK-II Auractivator CC Cream: Highest UV protection in a CC Cream with no makeup makeup finishing

Just a few weeks ago, I have reimplemented a few SK-II product into my skin care routine. This time round I feel the difference on my skin compared to previous. Maybe my skin is getting old or maybe my skin is now used to SK-II that it starts to absorb everything I put on top. With those two reasons, imagine how excited I was to find out that SK-II will be launching Auractivator CC Cream.

SK-II has been promoting #ChangeDestiny campaign since last year. This campaign initiated from a study conducted by SK-II reveals that women have the power to determine the fate of their skin while having lasting crystal clear skin for many years to come with Facial Treatment Essence through its latest ground-breaking Skin Destiny Study.

Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder: Gives me amazing matte finishing all day everyday

Powder is my all-time addiction. For the past 10 years, I’ve been living on just powder foundation and it has been working out well for me. I may have pick up the habit of using liquid foundation these days but I still set my foundation with a powder. Till this day I still have the tendency to keep buying and buying without realizing I have too much at home and I needed to stop pilling up the stock. Whenever a brand came out with a new collection, powder is the first item I would check out. So when Bourjois Malaysia’s been posting up about their new Silk Edition Compact Powder, the name ‘silk’ alone is already enough to intrigued me. Introducing Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder, as soft and as fine as silk, as melting as a cream. This is the powder to have if you want convenient, coverage, long lasting and all-day oil control. That’s right. ALL-DAY OIL CONTROL.

Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder
First thing first, the unique 360º rotating mirror. How interesting can it gets? I’m easily distracted with anything that is cool and new as this. When I first got it I couldn’t stop playing with it. It makes a great handbag mirror as the mirror stands up well and easily rotated to any direction that I want.

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray: Yay or nay?

I have never been lucky with makeup setting spray (read here and here), what more a matte finish long lasting setting spray. It is quite hard to find NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray at Sephora as it is always sold out. You know what people say, when it’s hard to find, you would want it badly. When I finally managed to track it down, I bought it in a split second. I figure what have I got to lose since it is cheaper and it was the Sephora Black Card member private sale.

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray
There are two variant of makeup setting spray within NYX. One is this Matte Finish (or Matte Shine-Free Finish according to NYX website) while the other one is Dewy Finish (or Dewy Glow Finish). I can be quite an oil slick by mid day so Dewy Finish is a definite no-no for me. I remember Shaaanxo from YouTube mention before that she love this stuff. If Shaaanxo likes it, I would too. Boo! Wrong thinking 😛
