Essence-colour and go

If you have been to watsons recently, you probably already heard of this brand. Retailing at sgd$2.90, it comes in a relatively wide range of colours. With a big flat brush, it makes application so much easier.

And it's quick drying on its own!! Awesome awesome!!
check out my nail colour!

Giovanni - Tea tree Shampoo

As much as taking care of the face is important, it is also equally important to take care of your hair. Wouldn't wanna look bald, eh?

Due to the humid weather of our country, stress, most people gets oily scalps resulting in oily hair and so on it goes - with the ultimate hair loss problem.

Got recommend by a friend not too long ago to try and what I can say? Its awesome! My scalp feels oil free and clean for the whole day and the best part - it has a minty feeling staying on your scalp.

Feel so pampered with the after effect as though you have just did your hair from the saloon.

Cool right?

Some may think that everyday use may resulting in drying of the hair, etc but hey! that is where the conditioner comes in.

And of course if you think that your scalp is getting less oily, you can always use it every alternate day and the rest of it, just wash it with your favourite shampoo.


What's your favourite? ^^

Tip of the Day- Regulating your skin care products

As some are aware, our skin requires different treatment at different stages of our life. That's why there are always skincare products that caters to 20s,30s,40s and so on.

Some people like a product and stick to it forever, using it as a routine, that is why sometimes to a certain point, it felt stagnant, as though the skin conditions never improves.

Others are too afraid to try something new as it might cause other new skin conditions or outbreaks.

But skin, just like health, requires some sort of balance.

Regulating your skin care will ensure that the nutrients, care that your skin needs will be balanced.

If you have different types of serums, moisturizers and you think is a little too much to finish, use it on alternating nights or twice in a week. (If used regularly, it can still be used finished and no worries about wasting it due to expiry)

Try it and let me know if this works for you.

If you have even better ways, do share with me too! I will love to know.

Lastly, monday is coming and that rings a bell that weekend is about to end.

So Lets say a little prayer and may the upcoming week be beautiful as we bid goodbye to 2012 and ushering in 2013!

Tip of the Day - Cleaning your make up sponge + make up

Most people will touch up their make up from time to time when they have to work and have a great night out: party, etc.

Actually, as our face come in contact with the environment, there bound to exposure to dust.

So imagine, as you do your touch up, you apply your make up from your palette to your face and than your sponge might pick up some environmental dust, goes back into the palette and perhaps contaminating the surface of your make up. The next round you use it on a clean face, you apply from the palette (contaminated) to your clean face.

That is also one of the reasons that there are some, who has more sensitive skin suffers from outbreak thereafter, even though there was proper cleansing.

Always wash your sponge regularly if you have to constantly do touch up and you might wanna gently wipe off the surface of the makeup before applying it to the clean face.

Alternatively, use a blotter or tissue to gently pat on your face before re-applying the makeup.This will somewhat helps to reduce the dust/oil/dirt that is on our face.

Lastly here is a nice song for sharing:
Diana Krall - Look Of Love (Live In Paris)


Enjoy and have a nice weekend ahead!

                       

Laura Mercier - SPF 20 oil free tinted moisturizer

Had always been using a corrector (MAC NC 15) in substitute of liquid foundation as I really hate the watery feel as it takes a while for any liquid foundation to set.

As I was in search for a replacement for the above corrector, I came across the laura mercier tinted moisturizer and wanted to kinda give it a try as it's bigger and hopefully, on average more cost savy.



Please note that a corrector is very different from a concealer and even greater difference as compared to a tinted moisturizer. On most good days, what I usually need is only a sheer cover, so I decided to just try. Mainly, to see if it works for me as NC 15 really hard to get as it is always constantly out of stock in MAC outlets.

Gone are the days where 2 way cake was like the talk of the town or the hippest around. Moving forward, liquid foundation will be more of a trend in the makeup line as most liquid foundation these days are more lightweight and provides a more natural after effect.

However, if you are rushing to work, the last thing you need is extra moisture on your face. I do not mean you just leave your skin to dry and crack. Imagine, toner, moisturizer, sunscreen, liquid foundation.... and if you can't wait for either your skin to absorb or the foundation to set, you start putting on your loose powder, it just most probably gonna be cakey end of the day. Powder and liquid? They just don't click together.

I tried the product on my hand and it gets absorb and sets very quickly so it kinda of like fulfill my need for speed makeup in the morning.

However, it has very sheer coverage, as such if you have quite of flaws or redness, you either have to keep layering it, waiting for it to set or just add concealer to it.

The package is conceal with a thin foil to prevent the product from spoiling if you were to keep for awhile before you started using it.

As I am kind of very fair, I usually go for the lightest shade in Porcelain.
Note: It comes in the normal and oil free version. If you tend to combination to oily screen, it will be best to stick to something oil free, the last you need is feeling crap on your face after a long day.

And so the package speaks for itself, to layer for additional coverage.

Its a little similar to BB cream in terms of texture but its not as pores clogging as some BB cream as it does not contains bismuth oxychloride and some other ingredients which will cause pore clogging. (This has not much to do with how much you cleanse your skin, some BB will cause underlying clogs, beneath the skin)

 My bare skin with popping veins.
 Just a generic swatch on the hand.
First layer on my hand and you can see that the vein colour is kinda reduced and its gives a radiance sheer finish.
 2nd layer of application, it didn't feel extra coverage or difference for me. You can still see the popping vein the greenish colour of the vein is kinda reduced.
Have you tried using this before? Do you like it?

p/s: It's retailing at SGD$68. Laura Mercier can be found at:





True Colours Makeup Cosmetics


391 Orchard Road
Ngee Ann City,   238872
65.6736.2973
and all sephora outlets, you can also find in Tangs Orchard beauty hall.

Shisedo - Maquillage Aura Veil Collection

Saw this on some magazines and I am like: Ok! Awesome colours. Went down to Shisedo counters finally and check out the item.

It has like a golden theme as the packaging is very golden itself.




 The package comes in:
1. MQ Aura veil (More of loose powder)
2. 30ml Fragrance
3. MQ True Rouge Lip Palette





Don't be too worried by the deep colours of the rouge, they are actually of very sheer colour and its more like a lipstain than a lip gloss or whatever.

p/s:Apologies for the lighting, it really doesn't justify for the package. The set is retailing at SGD$150 at all Shisedo outlets so if you are keen, do check it out before its out of stock. (This is year 2012 holiday collection)

Nars- Yoon Eun Hye in "I miss you" lip colour

For fans of Yoon Eun Hye or the fans of the lipstick colour that Yoon eun Hye used in her lastest koean drama "I Miss You", is finally in stock in the Nars counters in Tangs orchard.

As there is a limitation on the quantity and the demand for it, there is actually NO reservation allow.

So it's on a first come, first serve basis.

If you really like it a lot, you might wanna head down to Tangs Orchard asap to try your luck.

Nars lipstick (Matte) retailing at SGD$38.

Good Luck!


Tip Of the day - dusting off excessive powder

Most people will use a big brush to dust off excessive loose powder on the face. How about the cheeks?
Some will give light tap on the brush to remove the excessive blush that the brushed has picked up before applying.
Alternatively, you can give your cheeks a good swirgle with a big powder brush after you have applied your blusher.
You can also use powder brush instead of blusher brush for a more even and natural cheek finish.
Whats your tip? Do share! ^^

Greetings from Vivo City

♪♫ Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way... ♪♫

Its finally the season the year, Christmas greetings, Christmas food,Christmas songs and a big Christmas Tree! During this joyous festive seasons, all shopping centres would have come up with many ideas to make this christmas a special one for you and your loved ones. So here I am, at Vivocity, with the shopping centre christmas tree!

Excited or what?

Christmas is one of my favourite season of the year.

 Just a quicky from Wiki~on christmas:

"Christmas (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ[6][7] and a widely observed holiday, celebrated generally on December 25[3][4][5] by millions of people around the world.[8][2] A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide.[9] Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,[10][11][12] is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,[1][13][14] and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season." extracted from: wiki

Even though paces have gone faster and there is more stress coming all around especially nearing year end but it's so heart warming to know that there is still many people who actually take time to slow down and enjoy this amazing festive seasons.

It is also an indication that 2012 is coming to an end and we are about to usher in 2013!

Check out their christmas tree from dusk to night:

p/s: kinda sad, half of the tree were out of light after a while and no one came to mend it.











Last but not least, Merry Xmas everyone!!!

Soft lips

It's friday! Have you start counting to the awesome weekend ahead?
This is an awesome trick that some girls may have know but still, it really cool tip that i wanna share.
If you think you have lips issues,chapped lips etc, think again, lip balm is like the almost lifesaver for some.
Putting on during the day is like a nono for me cos it contains petrolatum and its really not so nice to be eating your lip balm down with your lip stick,gloss and food.
To wipe it off before food is a hassle.
So what other ways? Put it off before you sleep and rinse off the next morning. Continue to do for a while and you realise your lips gets more moisturize as days go by.
How about you? What your tips?

Nars Cosmetics

I am truly excited that Nars has decided to make an entrance in singapore. Honestly, I am really getting bored with the usual makeup range that it has constantly been in singapore.

I always wonder why won't they import more stuff? Even though it is coming from the same company, label or brand. It always had to be something missing. What you have in overseas cannot hardly been found in singapore. One of such brands are Shisedo. If you do browse Japaneses magazines as often as I do~seriously you will notice that a lot of items labels are simply not showing up in Singapore.

Well, that's beside the rattle, I am truly glad Nars is here, in Singapore, full exactly their full range of products as per overseas.

I used to read about how some make up fanatics are obessed with Nars and I simply know why. Most of their products are awesome.

 Just when Nars have officially launched in Singapore not too long ago, I have totally lost control over what I was buying. #makeupjunkie. It comprises of their Andy Warhol Collection as well.
 Above: Andy Warhol blusher collection in "satellite of love". The name itself is so sweet. It's actually a very light shade of blusher. It can be put on top of your usual pink or orange blusher to give a glow effect and don't worry, it will enhance the colour of your cheeks and won't make you look like the backside of a baboon.
 As you can see from the swatch, it actually a sheer, glitter, light colour.
 Swatch of the blusher. I am too fair that it looks like I am putting on nothing but as the salesgirl said as well, it really very light. It can not act as a blusher, it can also act as a highlighter as well.
Pencil eyeliners series from their usual collection and Andy Warhol Collection. Andy Warhol collection has a tint of shimmer in the eyeliner. Colours~Normal: Via Veneto 8051, Andy: 47th Street 8063
 Top one is the normal version and bottom swatch is the Andy's collection. Their eyeliner is smudge proof but not water proof.
 I have constantly tried to rub it off with a tissue and you can see that my skin has turn reddish and you can still see faint lines of the eyeliner. Power or not? P/S: But super expensive lah!
 I saw the lips of the sales girl and thought the lip matte colour she is wearing is awesome. So I got it. Though I said countless of times, I hate wearing Lipstick.

 It's actually a very slim stick.
 This is how the colour looks on my hand but it look different on the lips. Its really matte.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second return to Nars for more damage and I got their set collection and a new lipstick in Sheer satin series. I actually went there wanting to get the fuschia bright pink lipstick used by Yoon Eun Hye in her new drama "Ï Miss You" but it was apparently out of the stock.

So below are pictures of the packaging and colours and swatches:













Do check it out if you are a fan of Nars or even if you new to Nars. They are located only exclusively in Tangs Orchard (Beauty Corner). Don't try your luck at Tangs Vivo, they do not have a counter at their yet. ^^
