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

Review: Kanebo Coffret D’or W Styling Eyebrow Pencil

One of the makeup item that I buy and stock up is eyebrow pencil. Back in February 2012 I went to Kanebo warehouse sales and bought some as it’s really cheap for a Kanebo.

Kanebo Coffret D’or W Styling Eyebrow Holder and Pencil is sold separately. The holder is sold for RM20 after discount and RM18 for the pencil refill. At first I was a bit skeptical about the concept. I mean if you’re buying from counter at normal price, the price overall is kinda expensive for an eyebrow pencil. But then I rethink again. I only need to buy the holder once. And refill would be cheaper for long run. So I bought 5 refill at one go as Coffret D’or is pulling out from Malaysia market at that time. Now that I’m on my 2nd refill I thought it’s appropriate for me to share with you my lil thoughts.


Each holder and refill is packed individually.

Review: China Glaze #Sass In A Glass; The One Nail Lacquer That Makes Me Happy

3 weeks ago I had some time off before starting a new job so I looked through my LENNART drawer to find a bright nail polish and I decided on China Glaze #Sass In A Glass which I’ve gotten from recent China Glaze blogger event.

Sass In A Glass is a bright dark pink with a hint of shimmers. The sun was glaring on the day I took the picture before therefore it looked slightly red. Maybe because it’s really dark pink which resulted in reddish picture.

 

What makes me wanting to get this color is because I’ve always into shimmers. And I wanted a really dark pink. I fell in love with this immediately when I lay my eyes on it.

MAC Make Up - Eyes Review: Make Up

Review: MAC Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel #Ash Violet

If you ask a makeup artist which is the best gel eye liner, they’ll tell you MAC Fluidline. If you ask your friend which is the best gel eye liner, she’ll definitely tell you it’s MAC Fluidline. If you google, I believe the search result will only be MAC Fluidline. That’s exactly what happen to me. I sucks at drawing eye liner. Pencil is great but I tend to sharpen it a lot and it smudge. Liquid is easy and great too but tricky for a beginner like me. With Gel eye liner you need to work quicker. Otherwise when it dries up it’s harder to blend. Not only I know nuts about drawing eye liner, I have shaky hand and happiness tears problem. When I go HAHAHA while talking to a friend…tears will start gathering at the corner of my eyes. How weird is that? I’m laughing and I’m also crying. LOL!!

I’ve been holding on the purchase of MAC Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel as I wanted to get it from Suria Meriang Staff Sale. My wish came true as I managed to get it from the sales but it’s not black. Works for me!

MAC Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel #Ash Violet is a deep dark purple color. The one I have doesn’t come with a mini 209 SE brush. I got the brush from another set which I’m using to apply Ash Violet.

 

The pot is made from glass. It’s small so it’s pretty handy to put inside the smallest handbag for mid-day touch up. The amount of product is only 3g. I’m already making a small dent in the pot. I foresee myself finishing this and even getting the black one from Bobo; my friend at MAC Sunway Pyramid!

Review: Cruising My Way to The Iconic Lipstick with Dior Addict Extreme #486 Cruise

Till today I’m still slapping myself for discovering this Holy Grail lipstick of mine so late. It’s one of the best lipstick I ever tried, own and used. Okay. Now I’m pinching my own arm.

If you remember end of last month I chased the Dior bus to try myself the new Dior Addict Extreme lipstick and I only have 4 words to say; OMG I LOVE IT! Oppss that’s 6 words hah!

 

Dior Color Stylist asked me what shade would I like. Initially I wanted to get a nude color. But I never like nude nude lipstick. I always like a hint of pink in the nude. But the Dior girl that ushered me to the bus had a stunning bright pink shade on her lips and I want that! But she forgot the shade. After comparing all the bright pink shade with the Color Stylist, we settle with 486 Cruise. The minute I walked back in the mall after the mini makeover, I saw how bright my lips is and I was WOWed.

Dior Addict Extreme #486 Cruise (retailing for RM98 each) appears more of a red shade than pink in the tube. Don’t worry. It’s pink alright. I blame it on the lighting 🙂

Review: Love From Bobo – MAC Makeup Base, Skin Enhancer & Foundations Samples

Sometime in May I met up with a long time friend which I haven’t seen for years. The reason behind the meet up is to collect my Suria Meriang Staff Sales invitation cards from her. We went for lunch and chatted quite a bit catching up with each other on what’s happening around our life. In the chat of course I asked all that I wanted to ask about MAC, feedback to her how scary it is MAC outlet looks like from the outside LOL.

I’m quite interested to try MAC makeup base and liquid foundation. However I don’t buy stuff if I never tested it on the skin before so Bobo took out 4 small glass bottles and started to fill in some for me to take home to try. This is what I was given.

Bobo stored the glass bottles in 2 separate pillow box. Cute.

 

Here’s the mini glass bottles. I never knew we could request for samples like that. Oh well maybe we’re not offered before =P

Review: China Glaze Nail Lacquer #194 Fifth Avenue

Hello & happy Saturday! Weekend is here which means my 1 week holiday is coming to an end very soon :(. I’ve been very busy this week attending events and personal matters and today I wanna share with you a pretty nail polish from China Glaze by the name of Fifth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue is a creamy, thick and smooth polish. It’s thick but not gluely at all. The color is darker in real but my camera fail to capture the color. Urrrgghhh!

 

Fifth Avenue is in China Glaze’s core collection so you can buy this from Isetan KLCC or Isetan 1 Utama for the price of RM42. China Glaze has the most interesting wide color selection in my opinion  and each and every color stands outs. I choose to put on Fifth Avenue for this week as the mauve-rose color is suitable for all occasion and more work-friendly. Plus it’s my favorite color even for lipstick!
