Burberry Coffret D'or Estée Lauder Guerlain Kanebo Lunasol Make Up Tips & Tutorial Paul & Joe Review: Make Up RMK Ronasutra Shiseido

Make Up Tips – Pencil Eyeliner as Base; Perfect for Everyday Wear

Since CNY is just around the corner and I’m already on leave so I thought I’d wake up earlier to do this makeup tips post. I have been wanting to post this up months ago but just didn’t have the time. This is a tips from Adrian Sin; Burberry and RMK Beauty Trainer which I picked up at RMK makeover last year. It is simple and yet useful and versatile for everyday wear that I’ve been implementing to my daily makeup myself.

Before I start I must mention a disclaimer in advance as I know some of you can be quite judgmental and harsh. I’m no makeup expert, this is a tips that I picked up personally from a makeup guru which I think is worth to be share to you guys as I had the privilege to meet and had my makeup done by Adrian not once but twice. And during numerous encounter with Adrian I managed to get some pointers, tips and tricks from him.

Ready?

I’m not going to talk about prep-ing your face with skin care or base makeup. I assume you guys are expert now. I’m just going to jump directly to the main topic which is using pencil eyeliner as eye makeup base.

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.

Review: Shiseido The Makeup Accentuating Powder Blush #B2 Rosy Beige

It took me a while to write this review although the pictures had been taken months ago. I couldn’t think of a way to pen down this nicely and when I said that I guess you’ve figured out that I don’t like this blusher at all.


There’s a story on how I’ve gotten this Shiseido The Makeup Accentuating Powder Blush #B2 Rosy Beige (RM40). I went to Isetan Anniversary Sales last year October 2011. I bought a Shiseido mascara but returned it the next day as I found that the mascara has all dried up when I check the stuff I bought at home. I was excited about the mascara but looks like I’m not in luck. The mascara is all sold out so I couldn’t exchange for another one. At first the sales girl wouldn’t let me exchange as it’s sales item. I got upset with them cause I spent RM40 for a dried mascara and I couldn’t exchange it?? What is that? The sales girl then went to the person in charge to double confirm on exchange and she came back telling me to choose another item as exchange. I finally chose this blush as the price is the same.

Shiseido is not a stranger in beauty world. I’ve heard and read lots of good reviews especially their skin care and some of the makeup. So you can tell how excited I am to have a blusher from the brand.

Clarins Crabtree & Evelyn RMK Shiseido

Newly Opened – 4th Week of Feb to 1st Week of Mar 2012

For the last 1 week to the current week, I’m happy that I managed to finished a batch of products. Nothing makes me happy than digging into my lil store and open up new product to use. This new batch of newly opened products consists of makeups, skin cares and body care.

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado,Olive & Basil Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel 250ml
If you like the smell of their hand therapy and body lotion from the same range, you’d definitely like the shower gel as well. I tried so hard not to be bias towards this shower gel and try alternating with other shower gel as well but failed. I can’t help it. It’s refreshing after using this shower gel!

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Relaxing Body Lotion 250ml
I don’t know why this smell so nice in the shop but doesn’t smell that nice after using it at home. Hmmm??

Shiseido Accentuating Powder Blush #B2 Rosy Beige
I bought this from last year Isetan anniversary sales for RM40. As I’m kinda tanned recently due to sun burn, the color appears orangey on me. The color doesn’t stand out at all on my tan skin. Nevertheless, I like the blush.

Clarins Powder Compact #30 Sandy Beige
This is suppose to be “natural” on all skin tone but as mentioned before that I’m currently quite tan, this lovely powder makes me even darker. Why did I said lovely? This compact powder is superb!! I like the fact that this gives me matte finish which so far I have seen none that can provide matte finish, the oil control is so good that my face is oil free whole day. Only some oil secretion on my nose which I just use a tissue to gently pat away. That was it. I would definitely buy Clarins’ compact powder next time!

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil Skin Revitalising Both Lotion 30ml
This is from Avocado, Olive & Basil mini gift set worth RM90 which I got as GWP from my recent haul of C&E. It’s so moisturizing yet non-oily and not forgetting the wonderful scent.

Clarins *New Improvised* Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase 15ml
Review: Read here
This is one of the many bottles which I’ve gotten as GWP. The full size is 30ml so I’m always happy whenever the BA gave me this. I only use this at night time as this serum is bi-phase. I wouldn’t wanna have an oily face on the day :). One of the best hydrating serum I ever used.

Clarins Energizing Emulsion 30ml
Another GWP which I’ve gotten in Feb 2012. I bring this small lil bottle in my handbag to work everyday and I’d apply this whenever my legs are tired from all the standing and walking. Don’t really like the smell though.

Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum 15ml
Review: Read here
Last bottle to go! After this I’d stop purchasing for a while as I wanted to try other serum. Can’t apply too many serum in a go lol. I’d be back on this serum in no time 😉

Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection Tinted Version 30ml
Review: Read here
My all time fav sunscreen which I have no intention to change nor try other brand. I have two 30ml of this in my stash. Clarins is about to launch another version which is the Beige. Although there’s a best buy set currently with a bottle of Tinted version, I’d like to try the Beige too so I’ll wait for the new arrival 🙂

Clarins Shaping Facial Lift 50ml
Review: Read here
A serum which doesn’t need any introduction :). This is the bottle that changed my beauty routine. After that it’s all history.

Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover 125ml
Review: Read here
My current eye makeup remover. This bottle is actually bought from Clarins warehouse sales last year for RM50. This reminds me of Lancome Bi-Facil which I like too. This is the best eye makeup remover that I discovered. Although it’s kinda pricey, one bottle really last long so no worries.

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy 25ml
You can see that more than half of the tube is already gone! That is how much I love it. This particular tube is in my handbag at work. Luckily I have another 7 tube in stock 🙂

Clarins Cleansing Milk With Alpine Herbs 50ml
This is meant for Normal or Dry Skin. Too bad. Cause the smell is divine. Anyhow the efficiency is the same with Cleansing Milk With Gentian; removing makeup.

RMK Lip Gloss H-03 Holographic Strawberry Pink
Now I know why RMK lip gloss is so famous among reviewers! This is indeed a good lip gloss. If you’re like me who doesn’t like lip gloss at all and hated the stickiness of it, fret not. This is not sticky at all and because of that it doesn’t give you a white line on the inside of the lips.

Clarins Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate 3ml
Another full size item redeemed from last year Oct 2011 Clarins Club Beauté Beauty Rewards Redemption. This is very similar to Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. The only different is I felt that this is much more watery, smoother and melts immediately upon spreading.

Last but not least, 2 more body care from Clarins.

Clarins Body Treatment Tonic Oil 100ml
I purposely bought a 2011 Christmas set which have this in it. I have the Body Shaping Cream for the longest time but feel that it’s better to use with this body treatment oil. Will do a review on this soon.

Clarins Body Shaping Cream 200ml
Another full size item redeemed last year from Clarins. I’ve used this alone and felt the efficiency but feel that it’s better if I use this with Body Treatment Tonic Oil for better, faster result. Will do a combine review soon.

Phew. That was a lot :). Have a good weekend.

Clarins Isetan Kate Majolica Majorca Paul & Joe Shiseido Warehouse Sales

Isetan Anniversary Sales – Paul & Joe, Shiseido, Majolica Majorca, Clarins & Kate

 

Continued from http://feeyona-loh.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-busy-day.html

I took some time off from work and headed to Isetan Anniversary Sales on Friday morning. The first day usually is closed for Isetan members. I was told there’s a Paul & Joe and Anna Sui further markdown 2 weeks ago and I was really excited. I go in from Ground Floor and went straight up to 4th floor at “The Gallery” where the cosmetic and fragrance fair is held. Here’s my damage.

I didn’t know where Paul & Joe counter is at so I took my time to browse around for other stuff and then I saw them. My target is to get lipstick, eyeshadow, 2-way foundation but there’s no single lipstick or eyeshadow for sale. Everything is packed in a set and we can’t choose the lipstick or lip gloss colour that are in the set. I was delighted to see that Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV Set selling at RM158 which comes with a free refill and lip gloss. Next I decided to grab Paul & Joe Face Color & Lip Gloss Coffret Set for RM109.

Paul & Joe Face Color & Lip Gloss Coffret Set – RM109
The set comes with Face Color C (blusher), Lip Gloss C (tri-color), fur wand for face color & a cute drawstring satin pouch!
Face Color C is actually powder balls just like Guerlain’s. I never have this before so I got it anyway eventhough RM109 to me is kinda expensive considering the items in the set is very little and I don’t like/wear lip gloss.
Drawstring satin pouch is made from thick satin material which doesn’t feel flimsy at all. It’s kinda cute too 🙂

The most value for money and anticipated purchase for me is this Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV Set which comes with a retail compact, refill pack and a Lip Gloss N. All that for RM158. The compact itself costs RM150. Basically I just add RM8 for the refill and lip gloss! LOL.

Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV Set – RM158
Closed-up look at the set.

I moved over to Anna Sui for mascara but they only offer 30% off from retail price which is not really a lot saving if I were to compare with all the counter there. So I moved to Shiseido counter and managed to grabbed MAQuillAGE Full Vision Mascara #BK999 for RM40 and two Eye Color N which is eyeshadow base for RM17.50 each. When I checked the mascara the next morning, to my horror the mascara is all dried up. So I brought it along with me the next day (yes I went again with my colleague) and ask for an exchange. I was told straight to my face that they don’t allow exchange. I screamed a lil to her saying that I bought a mascara from them, it’s dried up and I can’t exchange? She said yes they don’t allow exchange. I repeated myself again this time with a hard tone and she said she’d ask from another colleague. I overheard her colleague saying to her that they must exchange for me and I was relieved. When the lady came back to me with an answer, she told me to choose another item. I was so annoyed. I insist that I want a mascara and she said it’s sold out. AIYO. SAY SO LA EARLIER. The lady didn’t even mentioned about sold out. She just blindly ask me to choose another item. So I chose a blusher for an exchange with the same price. Phew. Long story huh.

  Shiseido MAQuillAGE Eye Color N – RM17.50 each & ShiSeido Accentuating Powder Blush #B2 Rosy Beige – RM40
This is the exact colour. Not as light as above picture. This applies to be more natural. Not too white or too pinky.

I was happy to see Majolica Majorca there as well. I skipped their eyeshadow which is dirt cheap comparing with drugstore. I only grabbed two Lash Gorgeous Wing mascara for RM29.90 each.

Next. I walked down to Ground Floor to Clarins counter to get HydraQuench Starter Kit which is selling at RM78. This is very similar to Truly Matte Best Busy Set. Only missing a cleanser.

HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase 15ml, HydraQuench Cream-Gel 15ml,HydraQuench Cream-Mask 15ml & white cube pouch.
The cute square cube pouch included is cute. I like the leather-like material.

On the second day, I constrain myself from spending but curious about Kate Nail Color Dry so I bought one to try. It’s to fasten the drying process of nail polish. It’s only RM12.

* Picture appears blur due to the shrink wrap.

What’s my damage? Total of RM569.80. Phew.
