Bdellium Tools iHerb Make Up - Beauty Tools Review: Make Up

Bdellium Pink Bambu Series: Dupe comparison with my other favourite brushes. The closest dupe I’ve found so far!

I’ve always known of Bdellium Tools in iHerb because I stumbled upon the brand when I was searching for blending brushes last year. Bdellium Tools Studio Line, if you know Bdellium well, is the most well-known brush line due to it’s striking and unique yellow handle. I’m not a fan of yellow. I cannot see myself using yellow brushes and I didn’t know what Bdellium Tools brand is all about. When I watched CoffeeBreakwithDani haul on Bdellium Tools, I WANT THEM. I do not care if it’s yellow. It was her repurchase as spare brushes so I knew these brushes must be good. I guess luck was on my side because iHerb had a weekly 20% special on Bdellium Tools! I hauled back six Bdellium Tools Pink Bambu Series last week and this is what I think about Bdellium Tools brushes so far.

Bdellium Pink Bambu Series
I have a lot of face brushes including a few new Zoeva brushes which are still sitting in the box comfortably so my purchase was mainly on the eye brushes. Having said that, I’m also on the lookout for a dupe of my most favourite powder brush of all – the Real Techniques Buffing Brush, which is not available to purchase individually. I thought I’ve found the perfect dupe a few months ago with ELF Studio Powder Brush but it was not quite the same. Needless to say, that brush’s ferrule came off from the handle and I’ve repurchased a new one, which is still sitting in the drawer because I want to find one similar to Real Techniques Buffing Brush before breaking into the new ELF Studio Powder Brush.

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.

L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer #Natural: My current favourite under eye concealer

I’ve seen it, I’ve heard about it, I’ve read about it and now I’ve gotten my hands on it. The L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer is the rave recently in the beauty world. Everyone is talking about it. The more I see it, the more I want it. The catch is that it’s not available in Malaysia or at any online store that ship to Malaysia. There are a lot of pre-order spree on Instagram but you know me, I have zero patience for spree. I happen to stumble upon a seller on Instagram that coincidentally had just received her spree parcel and she have a few extra for ready stock.

L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer
The Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer is often said to be the exact dupe of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, while this L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer is claimed by many to be the dupe of MAC Pro Long Wear. Now, I have yet to try the MAC one so I can’t tell you if this L.A. Girl concealer is really the dupe but according to Makeupalley.com, some girls said it’s not. However I find that the bad reviews in Makeupalley is the total opposite of my experience so I’m going to help to clear the air as a first time user of a product that was flown in from another country and tumbling in the box for hours.

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 Smoky Stories 06 Upside Brown: Now everyone can be a makeup artist!

Have you watch all the Bourjois Smoky Stories Quad Eyeshadow Palette series on Bourjois YouTube channel? I have and I was sold the minute I watch the first video. One particular palette that I fell deep in love is the 06 Upside Brown. Bourjois Malaysia kindly gave me a palette to try but the shade that I got was different. Sneaky me requested for a change because I knew 06 Upside Brown would suit my daily makeup style than other colors.

Bourjois Smoky Series 06 Upside Brown
Now. What’s so special about this new quad palette if you may ask? It’s an eyeshadow palette with pre-coordinate shades. What that means is Bourjois think hard and long to put together all 4-shades in each palette so that each of us can channel out the makeup artist in us with the help of this palette 😀
