Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter Review

December 13, 2016


I know the review of this product were everywhere already, but I have to share this because this is one of my favourite makeup ever.I watched first impression video and definitely need to buy this based on the reaction. Yes, youtube made me buy this.

Meet Mary-Lou Manizer, a seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody’s eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow.

The packaging is so nice and flattering. It is really me. I like the vintage kind of look though it is just a sticker pasted on a sturdy rounded compact but the design wins my heart . I love the feel of this strong and sturdy compact on my hand as they always feel cold because of the metal I guess. and the mirror guys, it is not kind of cheap mirror but a very clear high-quality mirror that I always grab whenever i want to do close up makeup. 

HOW TO : Apply a light stroke with a V shape start from on your cheek to the brow bone and you are good to go !

Like I said, this is my favourite highlighter and I have to add this into my makeup essential. My makeup won't look complete without a glimpse of shimmer and this is the good one that I had to apply so far. Definitely worth the money.  My skin looks radiant and healthy. Its not too glittery . A bit creamy but so pigmented. Absolute wonderful. The formula is just perfect for glowy but finished. Some bloggers said that this highlighter very similar to Becca moonstone highlighter. It doesn't accentuate your pores or texture

★★★★★5/5 
Repurchase : YES. Definitely. 
Where to : SASA for RM74 with 8.5g that could last forever.
Grab it during SALE , you'll get cheaper price.

Bourjois Happy Light Foundation Review

December 9, 2016



I bought this a couple of months ago because people are raving about Bourjois foundation especially the Healthy Mix Bourjois Foundation but unfortunately, I cannot find the one with a red cap so I grabbed this one with the hope that they are almost the same with same quality. Are they really same? Let's look into it.

The Happy Light foundation gives a luminous and flawless complexion in any light. Its translucent pigments correct without masking giving your complexion a flawless radiance.  Its supple texture glides smoothly onto the skin for a flawless complexion with no caking. Result: complexion is left luminous and flawless for 16 hours in any light with an ultra-natural finish. Dermatologically tested.

The foundation comes in a light plastic bottle with a coral colored pump. The pump is very striking so it is easy for me to differentiate this foundation at an instance. As usual, I like a foundation with a pump dispenser as I can really avoid an unnecessary mess while using it, especially in hurry. It comes in perfect tall and slim size bottle. Hence, much convenient for me to bring it anywhere. 

HOW TO : Dispense two pumps (depend on how much coverage you want) of the foundation onto your hand. Apply the foundation after your skincare routines like toning and moisturizing, then apply the foundation evenly onto the face using face brush or beauty sponge. Apply the foundation in a circular motion for best and flawless result.

The coverage is light to medium but I believe I can build the coverage if I want to. I like the fact that the foundation does not look too heavy on the skin. It is light and feels nothing at all  So far, this is my most close shade of foundation that I have ever own. It is in Beige Clair and my skin color is a bit yellowish undertone, Malaysian refers it as 'kuning langsat' . The texture is smooth, blends perfectly to give a silky finish with a radiant effect. not too matte that would crack and not too dewy that I don't have to powder after wearing it. However, I think this foundation does not last as long as it claims, only for a few hours as I wear it to classes and my friend said that I go bare face today ? 

It also does not leave any drag marks or streaks on facial lines which I really love .

Repurchase : YES IF I CANNOT FIND HEALTHY MIX SERUM FOUNDATION

I love love the packaging so much. It looks very different from any other liquid lipstick. Though it is quite long but it sleek and sturdy. Some of us didn't really prefer long wand but I don't really mind about it. The caps has a mysterious yet vintage looking roses all around and it is so cool. I'm loving the size of the wand of this lipstick as well. It is small and precise so it makes the application easier. 

I like both of the colors that I got. Lolita I is so good. It gives a natural look but still looks on point. I got to admit that this would be my daily lipstick if it does not dry out my lips at all and last a little longer. but I can always counteract the dryness  by applying a bit of lip balm because it only dries just a little bit. It can always be due to the weather here in Bangalore or my hydration level as well.  

I don't really think Lolita is everlasting as it claims. I have other lipstick that was cheaper to give more durable lasting. But Exorcism lasted long enough and maybe because of the darkness of the color itself. The settling down time is also just nice, it settles on the lips not so quick and not too long so I can avoid any unnecessary messiness. Pigmentation of this liquid lipstick is superb. 

Despite all, the color of the lolita is to die for. But I find a dupe for the Exorcism is the Transylvania from NYX Lip cream but of course KatVonD lipstick is far more lasting than NYX Lip cream from my experience myself.

Repurchase : YES. I want to try other colors.

Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer Review

November 26, 2016



Makeup begins with a perfect canvas, and it should stays from the hassle of the day. We can maintain the makeup on the right place without noticing our foundation has melt away, our blusher has fade down of our cheek simply by applying a good primer. This is my first time using a primer, check out my opinion.

Photoready Perfecting Primer claims to soften skin, reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines, smooth skin texture, and tone. 
The strong features include photochromatic pigments bend, reflect, and diffuse light to minimize flaws , reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines and even out skin’s texture. 

It comes in the same size of Photoready AirBrush Effect Foundation. Check out the review here. Short but wide with a strong and sturdy glass bottle. It has a pump too that will help to give a right amount of product and also for it to come out quite come out easily. It feels nice on my palm but I cannot really fit this in my travel makeup bag.

HOW TO : After toning and moisturize your face, apply  two pumps of the products evenly onto your face. Only a thin layer is needed to even out your skin and erase the redness away. 27ml of the product meant to last for a month.

I am not a big fan of a primer. I have one Porefessional Primer from Benefits. I bought it because of the hype but never really have used it yet because it is too expensive for a small product amount so I was being stingy there. 

However, I managed to grab this  from Revlon called as Photo Ready Perfecting Primer solely because the sale girl there conveyed me that by applying primer it will make my makeup last a lot longer, and my T-zone area would be less oily. Plus I want to get a free makeup box with a certain amount purchase so I just need to add up a few more bits of Revlon products. 

Luckily, I am not dissappointed at all with this primer because it does even out my complexion, reduce the redness and give me smooth&clean skin. It does leave a bit of white clump but it is not a problem at all because we can all always wipe it all the way.  The best part is it does not sink in the pores and not causing any break outs.

Revlon Photoready AirBrush Effect Foundation Review

November 25, 2016


I am back with the beauty reviews. I miss doing this so much. I have collected and tried out a  bunch of makeup in this year, so I thought I would share my experience with you guys here. I'll try to make it as honest and original as I could. Enjoy reading them on my blog.

Revolutionary formula with Light-Filtering Technology delivers a poreless, airbrushed look. Soft-focus pigments create a luminous finish. your skin has never looked so flawless. There are 12 high-resolution shades of this new foundation starting from the fairest to the darkest; Ivory, Vanilla, Shell, Nude, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, Cool Beige, Golden Beige, Rich Ginger , Caramel, Cappuccino and Mocha. It has  SPF 20 and claimed to  give medium to high coverage.

It comes in a palm size big and a strong glass bottle containing 30ml of products. It is short but wide so sometimes I have a problem with fitting them into my makeup bag. Personally, I prefer the longer bottle than a wider bottle. However, if I bring less makeup,then this foundation won't have any problem going into them. Plus, it has a convenient pump to allow the product comes out quite easily without creating a mess. 

HOW TO : Apply moisturizer and primer first to create an ultimate base. Use your finger/brush/sponge to apply the product evenly on your face. 

 I have mine in Shell which is quite fair and I was always so bad choosing foundation shade for my skin. So I ended up looking too white with this foundation.  I have to mix with darker foundation to obtain the perfect shade for my skin. I like this foundation so far because it gives a good coverage. However , I didn't quite like the shimmery effects that it is quite obvious on my face.
Last 2 weeks, one of my friends said that I look like an old lady once. I ask him why, and he said that my foundation crack. It is either I forgot to wear moisturizer on that day or this foundation is a bit drying so make sure to moisturize your face first before applying it.

Makeup Revolution Blushing Heart Review

August 16, 2016

Hye ! I'm back with make up reviews! Missing this so much , but I really want to do so much because I want to add a little bit more contents in my blog. So let's start with the first one, a blusher from Makeup Revolution known as Triple Baked Blusher Blushing Heart.

Makeup Revolution has three series of the same triple baked thingy which are Summer of Love ( a bronzer ) , Golden Goddess ( a highlighter)  and the one that I'm reviewing now is Blushing heart. Now it's getting a little bit more complicated because Blushing Heart has three more different shades of blusher, which are Candy Queen of heart, Peachy Queen of heart and the Blushing Heart where you can find the name at the back of the box.


As you can see, this Blushing heart is made of three cool pink shades. It comprised of a hot pink, warm dolly pink and a slight purplish pink shade on the top that made the blending become super amazing and beautiful.

It has a little bit of shimmer and definitely will give you more of a glowy, metallic finish and a little sparkle that disperses well on the face.




Pigmentation

I love this the instant I swatched it over my hand because it is so pigmented and great colors come out quite easily. It also feel really soft and quite buttery. I feel like I was purchasing the high end blusher.

Duration
It is such a long wearing blusher. In fact it lasted me all day unless you wash it off. The blusher stays in place and does not smearing over your face.

Packaging
I have seen this love blusher packaging so long ago, they are so beautiful . Though it is a little plain from the Too Faced Sweetheart Blusher (Blushing Heart is a dupe for this. RM39) while Too Faced costs about RM215, but this one is just nice for me !

This is my favourite blusher so far ! If you like shimmering blusher , this is the good one, unless you love more matte blusher then you might consider other blusher but adding this blusher into your collection won't be a regret :)

Review : Curl Impact Collagene Mascara Waterproof

August 9, 2014







I am a fan of mascara before this, but I'm not usually wearing it. A few drawbacks have prevent me to always has a mascara stick on my eyelashes.but mascara is a must in a special event like wedding ceremony, hanging out with friends n etcetra but not to go to the class.

I rarely bought mascara so I do not really have an experience with it.

Before this, I am Avon & Maybelline user,but this time, I would like to try mascara from Loreal.
It is because I read a lot of reviews about the greatness of Loreal Telescopic Mascara and how good it is from a lot of beauty bloggers.
That is why I want to try Loreal brand !

Unfortunately,when I went to the shopping mall ,the sales girl said that Telescopic Mascara is not released anymore. But I just pick one of them which is Curl Impact Collagene Volume Mascara Waterprooof !

My review






If you are looking for waterproof mascara,then this is the perfect mascara for you.. The fibres would still stick at your eyelashes though you have clean your face. I have to wash my face a few time to remove the fibres.







Sadly, it would left some dark shade under your eyes after the fibres have been remove. It cause smudge by not really apparent.
Either you need to put some make up remover or just let it fade by itself for 1-2 days.
Too waterproof so it's hard to remove when I want to pray.



Price : (Rm33.0-Rm36.0 )
this is the range because I dont remember the exact value
Where you can get?
Watson
or any store that offers Loreal cosmetics range
