RAVE Review&Swatches : Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Pallete

First of all i have to say that this is a fantastic product that I love, I'm still on the fence whether or not this item can beat my Holy Grail(HG) Canmake Cover and Stretch Concealer UV Waterproof that I repurchased many times already.

This handy compact pallete has 4 products in it : light concealer, medium concealer, neutralizer and translucent powder.

The concealers and the neutralizer have the same consistency that is creamy and glides on smoothly. It's highly blendable and melts into your skin. Coverage is fantastic and opaque but not cakey.

The neutralizer has a slight greenish undertone to minimize redness, terrific for around the nose and red patches on your face.

The translucent powder has a nice feel to it, it's easy to pick up the product and it sets down the concealer nicely. It's just that it contains shimmer like Sonia Kashuk's Brightening Powder so it's unsuitable to use all around the face. Personally I prefer using this as a highlighter. Because somehow it gives coverage but the powder comes off like a sheer shimmery white but not completely translucent.

I absolutely love the concealers but the powder doesn't really work well with the concealer, if it was a matte translucent color , the pallete would have been better.

All in all this is an item worth purchasing!! Two thumbs up :)

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool review & swatches

This item has been raved everywhere among beauty gurus, beauty lovers and basically i heard a lot of good things about this item ..

I initially chose to buy this colour because I thought it would be a food universal base(the color tattoos were compared to MAC paint pots in consistency). It turns out that for my personal use, I cannot use this certain color on my lids alone because it is a bright shimmery white, and since it is very pigmented it looks too awkward alone.

I prefer using this as a base for smoky eye looks that I barely use .. This may have been an excellent addition to my collection if the color was different, maybe a neutral earthy tone or browns or golds would suit my liking better.

I have no problems with creasing because my eyelids are not oily, this has a very good staying power about 5-6 hours before creasing. I did not bother to test the 24hour claim because I think majority of people do not need to wear make up for such a long period of time.

This is a good product, but the colour just doesn't suit me. For a drugstore brand, the quality is absolutely fantastic and buying more colours would not empty our pockets too much. :P

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Concentrate Sleeping Pack

I actually planned on buying the super popular Laniege sleeping pack but haven't gotten around on splurging on it . When i saw this in Singapore I Was immediately drawn to it because it's supposed to be really hydrating.

So, my thoughts are :
- This gives a nice cooling sensation when applied
- Keeps skin moisturised at night
- Since it's oil-free , alcohol free , non - comedogenic and dermatologist tested , it's not greasy, drying nor will it clog your pores.

I must admit that this is not an absolute wonder product but it's worth the price as a basic night pack.

This product is supposed to be is supposed to be used at night and rinsed in the morning. Recommended to be used 2x a week; also suitable to use daily.

all in all i would actually repurchase this item, there are lots of Neutrogena skincare items that i keep going back too.. Because they are fantastic and affordable .

Awesome Find: Biore make up remover from Watsons SG!!

I just wanted to share this awesome biore eye&lip make up remover that works wonderfully and can easily move heavy eyeliner or any type of eye make up. This formula is like a lot of other make up removers with the 2 types of liquids combined in 1 being oil on top and pink liquid on the bottom. Others are normally oil and blue solution. Just like lancome's make up remover that my mom has, this works just as well and is way cheaper...

p.s. though what matters to me is the content but i can't help but say that the packaging is very cute!! like it's diamond cut..

totally recommended and worth your money!!
