February Favourites

  • Shu Uemura UV under base mousse
  • Mac Prep+Prime Eye
  • Sigma Buffer - F45
  • Kiehl Lip Balm for Men
  • MAC Kissable Lipcolour in Enchantee and Lip Pencil in In Synch
  • Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
  • MAC De-vil
  • Shu Uemura eyeshadow in 873
  • Naked Palette ( Naked & Buck )
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Flipside
  • Nivea Extra Whitening Body Lotion

the UV under base mousse smoothens complexion while adding radiance with the pink shade or reducing redness with the beige shade. i use the beige shade, not only it makes my complexion looks better, my skin is less oily and doesn't turn oily as fast as before.
and i use MAC prep+prime eye for concealing dark circles instead of eyeshadow primer as its really very lightweight thus less cakey then my previous Clarin's Instant Light Perfecting Touch. it creamy and when applied it turns to powder finishing.

love the Sigma Buffer, totally not scratchy! previously i was using the Large Powder - F30 and it's a bit scratchy. so i bought their F45 to give it a try. i use it will my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish as using a kabuki brush to buff in minerialize skinfinish gives the most coverage.

using the UV under base mousse with the mineralize skinfinish is the base combination i have experienced so far ^.^

Kiehl's Lip Balm for Men is formulated for less shine, which i prefer that over shiny lip balms.

i find that Enchantee is abit too bluish for my preference, so i line and fill in my lips with In Synch, making it a warmer shade.

i used to use Clarin's Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base as a eyeshadow primer and it worked really well back then until i went to Hong Kong last year, somehow my eyeshadow creased in Hong Kong and even when i'm back in Singapore! the Urban Decay primer potion came in handy as i have two of the minis from the Naked Palette and Book of Shadow III, so i thought why not give it a try. i was kinda sceptical at first as it feels kinda oily to me when i rubbed my thumb and finger with just a tiny amount. but it proved me wrong!

im in this crazy mood that i keep using warmer shade eyeshadows, and the 4 shades listed above have been my go-to colours! to give it a twist, i wear it with Flipside [ again, will try and post a picture of it =p ].

i've stop using body lotions for a very long time ( about 2 years ), so i bought this lotion to give it a try. love the scent as i prefer citrus over sweet. it's not exactly citrus, but its definately not sweet scented IMO.

knowing the Unknowns ..

went to watch Unknown today with my boyfriend and his mom. the movie was okay and kinda predictable, not as good as Taken.

after the movie we went to buy pressies for my boyfriend's aunt as her birthday is around the corner. and of course, needless to say, gifts =  COSMETICS !! we bought her a Shu Uemura Lash Curler and MAC Haute and Naughty Lash.
Love love love Shu's curler as i've very stubborn lashes and so far Shu's curler is the only one that managed to curl my lashes.

also, i've tried the Benefit BAD gal lash. it was so-so. kinda expected the drug store mscara effect as i've read tons of review about how average the mascara is. seems like Lancome's Hypnose mascara is still THE best, my one and only fave! =D

p/s: swatches on BAD Gal Lash ^.^
