MAC Casual Lip & Cheek Colour is a creamy, emollient blush and lip colour all in one. The shade For Your Amusement appears warmer coral pink in the pan, but is actually a cool-toned, pastel pink when swatched. It claims to be non-sticky, lightweight and dewy. Hmm, can a blush that feels like a gloss really do all that?
Let’s dive in and see how it performs!
I’ve been dying to try Sleek’s eyeshadow palettes since they took the beauty realm by storm.
The Sleek Enchanted Forest Eyeshadow palette is a new release, fairytale inspired – oh my! – and each colour is has a name I’m sure many of us can relate to. Inspired by fairytales, it’s filled with mauves, dreamy blues and earthy tones. It features a good balance of light and dark shades, shimmers and mattes.
How does this pretty little thing perform? Let’s find out!
Picked up this Maybelline the Colossal Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara in Denmark. Its name is quite the mouthful. Is it just me, or is the Maybelline mascara selection here wider than usual? Hmmm. The quest for a holy grail mascara is on.
Let’s see how this baby fares!
(Spoiler alert: Absolutely amazing, hands down new holy grail (HG) mascara.)
The festive season is here, which means shopping, shopping and more shopping!
I’ve been invited to try out ShopBack recently. It offers deals and discounts at many of our favourite online shopping destinations – Zalora, ASOS, Groupon, Lazada and so many more – plus cashback. Basically, we get a little extra cashback with shopback just by shopping at the same places we always do!
Sounds interesting? Let’s check it out!
The Catrice Luxury Nudes Soft Matte: 01 White & Bright is a fresh, clean white matte nail polish. True to its name, it is elegant and softly matte with a subtle pink sheen. There’s something touchable and marshmallow-y about the finish. Mmmm~
“Matt” and “Matte” are both correct, depending on which side of the world we are on. We use “matte” here in Singapore.
Let’s see how the formula performs!
As if a tropical island can’t get hot and humid enough, we’ve been enjoying (not really) a very sweltering summer. It’s virtually summer all year round in Singapore, but this time of the year means more intense summer weather: Heatwaves, blaze and sweat.
As a citizen of eternally hot, humid summers, allow me to recommend 5 summer beauty and makeup essentials, tried and tested!
Been using Bifesta Cleansing Lotion makeup remover for over a year. I rarely say this, but Bifesta is hands down the best I’ve ever used. It is oil free, colouring free, fragrance free, paraben free and alcohol free.
I can’t rave enough about the formula. However they made this, they made it right!
The Catrice Minter Wonderland nail polish is a soft, pretty light blue polish. It has a slight greenish tone indoors, but reads more pale blue in sunlight. It doesn’t strike me as particularly mint-like, but is lovely nonetheless.
Let’s hop into how this formula performs.
Picked up this bright, pretty Innisfree Eco Flower Tint in Camellia as a pick-me-up at the end of a long, arduous semester. As a lip tint, its clean, fresh rose scent sold it immediately!
There was a period where Watsons kept placing the Colour Riche lipsticks line on sale. Back then I was still on my nude lippies kick and searching for the perfect nude lip. Picked up Beige Sienna (BP401) and Peach Dream (C402). Wasn’t blogging yet at that point so I don’t have pristine pictures of these. Please excuse the well-loved lip bullets! 😉
