Make Up - Eyes Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Smashbox

Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer & Photo Finish Foundation Primer: Not a necessity for others but a daily must-have for me

Primers are what deemed as optional product. Some people don’t think it’s necessary while some like me couldn’t live without primer for the face and for the eyes. My skin goes through ups and downs. Sometimes I had makeup meltdown and sometimes it’s as fresh as applied in the morning. It drives me crazy!

As I said before in my On The Rocks Holiday Collection, Smashbox is the least talk about brand. The only time I heard or saw Smashbox is either on Photo Finish Lid Primer or Full Exposure Palette. But the most talk about is still their wide range of primers. Overall there are a total of 10 primers within the brand, eight of them is face primer while two is lid primer and under eye primer.

BareMinerals Customizable 6-Piece Get Started Kit: My current favourite mineral powder foundation

When it comes to Sephora, BareMinerals is the most generous with providing samples to the store. I remember many years ago when Sephora opened a store in KLCC and there was a BareMinerals READY Foundation and brush deluxe sample redemption. I redeemed mine successfully even at that time I wasn’t their White Card member. Fast forward to 2014, a few years after the first Sephora store here in KL, BareMinerals foundation and brush deluxe sample is the most given out GWP by far.

I never went back to purchase the highly raved BareMinerals powder foundation because the deluxe sample doesn’t work for me. The powder is sheer and the mini brush which is suppose to bear the same bristle as the retail size brush is so scratchy and flare out. At that time I couldn’t understand how or why everyone like it. How could anyone replace liquid foundation with mineral powder foundation that sheer? I soon learnt why.

BareMinerals Customizable 6-Piece Get Started Kit
It all started with me watching From Head To Toe YouTube video on how to apply BareMinerals foundation. That’s when I was sold. Of course I have some reservation as well because Jen’s skin is flawless compare to mine. I think it was about 2-3 months later I finally gave in and went to Sephora to purchase the Customizable 6-Piece Get Started Kit.

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.

Estée Lauder Make Up - Face Review: Make Up

Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance™ Compact Makeup: A compact foundation that doubles up as concealer. Makeup done in a jiffy!

This week will be all about Estée Lauder and nothing but Estée Lauder only 🙂 . I received three makeup products a month ago and I haven’t got the chance in photographing and reviewing them until last week. Yeap. Work had taken the free time I had and so I have to draft out a whole week content on Sunday alone. It’s crazy because I get distracted with catching up all the YouTube videos that I missed.

I’m going to start off Estée Lauder week with base makeup. I can’t tell you how excited I am with this Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup. My current craze is cream compact foundation so this one was spot on.

Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup
Estée Lauder introduced two Futurist Aqua Brilliance base makeup in October 2014. One is a liquid foundation (Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++) while the other one is a cream compact foundation (Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup SPF 20/PA++). It’s a brilliant idea to have the same product in two different medium as each individual do have different preference. I’m okay with liquid most of the time but compact works much faster for me now that I have just half an hour in the morning to do the whole makeup routine.

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.

Maybelline White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder
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.
