BH Cosmetics Make Up - Eyes Make Up - Face Review: Make Up That's Heart

That’s Heart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette: My first impression and swatches

When Judy of It’s Judy Time launched her co-created It’s Judy Time Eyeshadow Palette with BH Cosmetics end of 2013, she launched it together with another YouTuber ThatsHeart with her co-created That’s Heart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette. Both of the palette have been in my wish list for so many months. I managed to get It’s Judy Time Eyeshadow Palette in April 2014 and I finally gotten my hands on That’s Heart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette just a few weeks ago. Andddddd of course nothing in my life comes without any drama. This highly anticipated palette comes with a drama as you all know.

Some of you emailed me for a review on the palette. You know who you are and thank you for the request 🙂 . Initially I didn’t want to tear off the shrink wrap packaging of all my BH Cosmetics palette because I still have a pending case with ABX. They took forever to respond to my email(s) and so I’ve decided to just went ahead with this first impression and swatches review.

If you’ve been watching Heart’s YouTube channel, you would have know that the design of her palette is really representing her style. The huge pink heart with lace bother on the front cover matches with her YouTube handle name. I am personally a fan of anything with a heart design. When I told my friends that I’m buying That’s Heart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette, their reaction was “oh that is so you” 😀 . Yes, I am a sucker for cute, pretty packaging, anything pink, anything lace, anything with heart and anything that is girly.

Dr. Brandt Make Up - Remover Review: Make Up

Dr. Brandt Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water: An antioxidant-packed makeup remover & cleansing water

My rotating makeup organizer is looking rather empty on the top outer rim so I thought I could fill it up with something that can fit. Furthermore I had a sudden itch to open up some new products to try. I did a lot of swatches and makeup trial lately no thanks to my sudden itch to try something or a new technique and so breaking into the travel size bottle of Dr. Brandt Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water would be a wise choice.

Dr. Brandt Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water Travel Size
As you already know, miceller cleansing water is something I don’t fancy using on daily basis. I’m still the cleansing oil / balm / milk kinda girl when it comes to removing makeup. But when I need to remove makeup on a certain part of my face or when I needed to refresh the whole face makeup, I turned to cleansing water. Dr. Brandt Xtend Your Youth Dual Fusion Water is an antioxidant-packed cleanser AND makeup remover for face and eyes.

Event Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Shu Uemura

Shu Uemura The Lightbulb Oleo-Pact Foundation: Buildable, streak-free with dewy satin coverage thanks to its dome-shaped sponge. But, does it work on oily combination skin?

I have an obsession going on for a few beauty products at the moment, as I mentioned before in a blog post a week ago. One of it is foundation in any form, be it liquid, powder, cream or stick foundation. I couldn’t find any cream compact foundation or it could be that I wasn’t aware where to get any here so I ordered one online. Imagine me doing the happy dance when I found out that Shu Uemura will be launching a new cream compact foundation, The Lightbulb Oleo-Pact Foundation coming September 2014. And guess who get to try it out earlier than the public release date 😀

Shu Uemura The Lightbulb Oleo-Pact Foundation

 

The Story Behind The Lightbulb Legend

The Lightbulb phenomena started with Shu Uemura first launched The Lightbulb Fluid Foundation back in 2013. The foundation has quickly became an icon for the brand. Inspired by Shu Uemura’s expertise in Asian skin and professional tools,  The Lightbulb Fluid Foundation is favoured for its ability to create a beautiful “glowing skin canvas”. Combining The Lightbulb™ Oleo-Technology with a tool is none other than Shu Uemura’s unique ‘the lightbulb’ shaped sponge that was inspired by the brand’s makeup artists expertise and experience as well as the tapping motion of traditional Japanese kabuki brushes. Then, Shu Uemura launched The Lightbulb UV Compact just a few months ago. This new powder foundation is also formulated with The Lightbulb™ Oleo-Technology for glow and coverage. When used together with an original double-sided polishing sponge and with added The Lightbulb™ Pearl, you get a polish up yglow for a flawless complexion without a powdery look.

iHerb JASON Make Up - Remover Review: Make Up

JASON Quick Clean™ Pure Natural Makeup Remover: A quick, easy and convenient way in removing eye makeup

In my quest of searching for the best, fastest and most convenient eye makeup remover, I often stumble upon YouTubers talking about eye makeup remover pads and how it worked so well on them. One particular brand that was highly talk about is Almay, which unfortunately none of the online store ship to Malaysia except for MySale.my. I don’t think I have the will in me to wait for one and a half month though.

iHerb is a place that I often turned to for my “international brand” fix. Although iHerb does not carry Almay products but I managed to find something equally good, if not better. There are two brands available in iHerb carrying eye makeup remover pads. I chose JASON Quick Clean™ Pure Natural Makeup Remover because the other brand kept receiving comments about the pads being a bit dry.

Jason Quick Clean Pure Natural Makeup Remover
I received JASON Quick Clean™ Pure Natural Makeup Remover not too long ago. It came without any box and worse, without any proper wrapping around it. I also couldn’t find any manufacturing date or expiry date printed on the jar. I must say, it is worrying to me not being able to tell if someone had open the jar before and if the product is still good to use. I believe they are but there wasn’t any hard evidence to back it up.

Bioderma Make Up - Remover Review: Make Up

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution: Getting the hang of the whole micellar water craze

Being someone who started using cleansing milk and cleansing oil to remove makeup, I can never quite get cleansing water. How could I? A full day worth of makeup, dirt and sebum are thoroughly removed at the end of the day with my usual remover product so there wasn’t any need to change to something milder that is mostly just water.

Despite how I feel about cleansing water and after reading all the raving reviews online, Bioderma has become something that I wanted to get my hands on for the longest time. It is not available in Malaysia directly although I nearly bought from an online seller at one point of time. You have no idea how happy I am when I found out Isetan KLCC brought in Bioderma since March 2014 and I think I was among the first to notice it from Isetan Newsletter, rushed over and got my hands on my first ever Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution. I am a late bloomer in this new bandwagon but hey, it’s better late than never eh? 😀

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution
Overall, there are three types of Bioderma micelle solution available namely Sensibio H2O (red cap) for Sensitive Skin, Sébium H2O (green cap) for Combination or Oily Skin and Hydrabio H2O (blue cap) for Sensitive Dehydrated Skin. I chose Sensibio H2O because that is the best seller among three and the BA also highly recommend Sensibio for me.

Etude House Make Up - Face Review: Make Up

Etude House Etoinette Heart Blusher in PK001: Pretty packaging, unique concept and most importantly works like a charm

On September last year, I bought not one but two Etude House Etoinette Heart Blusher for RM49.90 each as it was on sale from it’s original price of RM159.90. I didn’t want to buy it when it’s on RM159.90 because I think it’s quite pricey for Etude House. Furthermore I couldn’t find it anywhere as everyone went crazy over it. Boy am I glad I didn’t cave it to my impulsiveness otherwise I’d be kicking myself for paying full retail price for it 😀

Etude House Etoinette Heart Blusher PK001_v2
Ever since I bought it, believe it or not it has been sitting in my drawer until last week when out of no where I thought of my Etude House Etoinette Heart Blusher. I remember I wanted to take some photos of it before using (typical blogger) but somehow that slipped out of my mind. Before you girls come after me for reviewing what was supposed to be a Limited Edition item, hang on to your horses because I have a very good reason for it. I decided that I could still tell you about this because two months ago I spot it at Etude House Berjaya Times Square. Now, that sort of explained why you’re reading this. YOU CAN MIGHT STILL ABLE TO HUNT FOR THIS *grins*
