Make Up - Beauty Tools Review: Make Up Shiseido

Review: Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush Is Just Perfect!

So I’ve jumped onto Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush bandwagon / craze 2 months ago. At the beginning it was more like curious on what’s the hype as I prefer to use my fingers to apply liquid foundation. Then it’s because I was on shopping ban and I couldn’t buy anything. And after that it was the Aeon voucher day and I was thinking hard what to buy with my stash of Aeon cash voucher since I’m on shopping ban. Wow. All the reasons that I can find to get this brush haha! And I settle with just the brush, nothing else.

After thinking hard which brand to get as my first foundation brush, I finally decided on Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush. I notice that almost all foundation brush is small and short. I picked Shiseido as the quality and overall feel on my hand is the best among the rest and the quality is better too.

The ferrule are made from mirror-like thick metal while I cannot figure out what the handle are made from. All I know is I love how the overall finishing is. So shinny.

As mentioned the size is small and fits perfectly on my palm. At first glance I thought it’s too small but after using it for the first time everything make sense. You don’t need a huge foundation brush for the face.

Gatsby Make Up - Beauty Tools Review: Make Up

Review: Gatsby Powdered Oil Clear Paper is Not Just A Guy Thing

Did you know Gatsby have this oil blotting paper that a lot of people are raving about? I don’t until a year ago after reading it from a Singapore beauty blogger. It is Oil Clear Sheet but I couldn’t find it at Watsons but I stumbled upon another version at the man section; Gatsby Powdered Oil Clear Paper and I bought it home thinking it’s what I read lol. Silly me. What seems as a wrong purchase at first is actually a good purchase!


Gatsby Powdered Oil Clear Paper comes in a whopping 70 sheets. 70 sheets 10cm x 10cm is shockingly new to me. Look at the size!

Make Up - Lips Review: Make Up Revlon

Review: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is Nothing Like It’s Rival

Okay. I can never remember the name of this new product from Revlon that just reached our shore end of November 2012. I’ll just call this Lip Stain aight? I’ve seen Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain months ago from the internet but waiting for it to arrive to Malaysia could take a long time. Or even not arriving at all. But to my surprise Revlon Malaysia did brought it in.

The retail price of Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is at RM32.80 each. The good news is currently there’s a 10% discount at Guardian making the price slightly lower at RM29.61! And of course I bought mine from Guardian 🙂


The color selection is not as huge as oversea but Revlon Malaysia brought in 8 shades which is good enough as some color are very similar which explains maybe that’s why Revlon Malaysia skipped 4 shades. I was in a Guardian store whereas the staff are busing at other section and the main point why I choose this particular Guardian at Mid Valley is because I notice that the Revlon section is not close to the door so there’s no security guard watching me closely. I did a swatch of all 8 colors safely without any disturbance!

Coffret D'or Kanebo Make Up - Eyes Review: Make Up

Review: Kanebo Coffret D’or Natural Clear Liner; Not-So-Bad Liquid Eyeliner After All

A cheap find at Kanebo Warehouse Sales early this year changed my perception about liquid eyeliner. I only have one liquid eyeliner at the moment while I had tossed away the rest after I bought this. I was told Coffret D’or is retrieving from Malaysia market and will only concentrate on Lunasol which is on the higher range. Coffret D’or in Japan is considered lower range but sells quite expensive in Malaysia previously. The brand has 2 type of liquid eyeliner. One which is non-refillable while another one is refillable. I decided to purchase the non-refillable one since Coffret D’or is retrieving from Malaysia anyway. What if I fell in love with it but couldn’t find the refill anywhere? Wouldn’t it be devastating?


For eyeliner I’d prefer Black color. No exception for Kanebo Coffret D’or Natural Clear Liner which I’ve gotten a BK-28. I never understand Kanebo’s product color code especially the numbering at the back.

The tube is a shiny, silver, mirror long and slim tube. I’m always attracted to this type of packaging as it looked much more nicer than color tube. Just my preference 🙂

Bioré Make Up - Remover Review: Make Up

Review: Bioré Makeup Remover For Eye & Lip; Performed Better Than Expected

Bioré received a high recognition and recommendation when it comes to their makeup remover range. Not really a winner in skin care range but maybe their cleansing range are from Japan so it’s pretty good! I’ve tried their Cleansing Oil before converting everything to Clarins which I don’t know why I stray away but I’m back to it. I did a rounding in Watsons a few months back and started filling my basket with all sorts of good budget buy products. Along that I included Bioré Makeup Remover For Eye & Lip in my shopping basket and boy I’m glad I did!


I always emphasis on a bi-phase eye makeup remover. That’s how I like it to be. I’ve tried all sorts of texture but bi-phase still works the best in terms of removing, conditioning and most important the efficiency. Usually for bi-phase removers you can see 2 layer of content. The “oil” floats on top while the water etc is at the bottom.

Clinique Make Up - Lips Review: Make Up

Review: Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Balm, Everyone’s Favorite Tinted Lip Balm

I don’t know what took me so long to get Clinique Chubby Stick but I’m glad I jumped into the “Chubby Stick Bandwagon” recently as I picked up their Christmas 2012 Limited Edition Whole Lotta Color set.

The reason why I’d rather get a set full with minis rather than one full size stick is because I want to try and explore more colors on me. If I were to stand in front of all the Chubby Stick at Clinique counter I knew I won’t be able to decide THE ONE color that I like so a set is always good as a start :). Plus they are minis…it’ll finish up in no time.

In this Whole Lotta Color set there’s 5 mini Chubby Stick. Each Chubby Stick is at 1.2g which is almost half of full size of 3g. Before this there is only 8 shades for you to choose from. Just recently Clinique added another 8 more new shades into the range making the total of 16 shades available.


In my set there is 2 new shade included to my delight. These shades are Oversized Orange (NEW!) and Curvy Candy (NEW!) which is my favorite of all. The other color in the set are Super Strawberry, Richer Raisin and Chunky Cherry.


What is Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Balm in a nutshell? It is a super-nourishing balm which is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Sixteen natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen.

My mini Chubby Stick comes in an exact replica of the full size except for the cap. The mini one had clear plastic cap while the full size one comes with a silver metal-coated plastic cap. The stick is chubby in size of course. Fits on my palm perfectly. Just cute and lovely.
