Autumn-Winter Makeup Look 1

Halllowww :D 

Today, I want to share a make-up look that is (in my opinion) suitable for every day autumn-winter look. The products I have used are MaxFactor CC Colour Correcting Cream Instant Complexion Enhancer 50 Natural SPF 10 for the foundation/base on my face. I made a complete review in the previous post. There, I explained my impressions of this CC cream. After applying the CC cream, I used the Collection2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in 'Fair 1' to cover my under eyes dark circles. There is no illuminating effect, but the under eye area is covered and brightened. Then, I chose the Benefit Hoola Bronzer to fill in my eye brows. This bronzer is only a sample size I got in a gift set during the holidays. For the eye lids, I applied MAC's duo from a holiday collection, or you could use any shimmery burgundy color for all over the lid with a rich dark red color at the crease area and bring it down to the outter third lower lashes. I would suggest those who have oily lids, or going put on the make up for a long period of time, to put eyelid primer first then apply the eye shadows. Next, I used the white-pearl glittery eyeliner on the inner tear-ducts to open up the eyes and apply a Loreal Super Liner Black near to the lash lines. For the bottom water line, I used the Rimmel Scandaleyes Black to intensify the eye. TA-DA! There you go! For the rest, I brushed on some Soap and Glory Peach Party on the apples of the checks. TA-TA-TA-DA!

All the products I have used.
Final Look.

August Collective Haul: From Thailand to Myanmar.

Halloooo :) 
It's HAULIES time! HAHAHA! Now, I know I have been going on a little kook-koo shopping thing here. But! Hey! A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do when they are in stress mode => shopping. Firstly, I got a Diffuser from Donna Chang (around 1,500 baht after discount). I bought these in Central World. I got the one is Rose scent. It does not give off the ugly, old rosy scent, but a fresh and light rosy type (I am not good with describing scents at all). Well, I believe it is a Thai company that just recently started entering the fragrance market. After using for a week, I feel like you do not need a lot of "sticks" to make the room smell lovely. The more sticks you use, the more liquid will evaporate, so I suggest to use a little first and if the room does not smell rosy and pretty yet, then add a few sticks. So far, "I'm Lovin' It!". :D.

The next shop I popped by was the 'nail shop TAT Thailand by Diva Supply'. It is located right across Emporium. I did not go there intentionally, but my friend wanted to go and cut her hair, thus we dropped by the most convenient one. The first product I bought was Zoya Professional Lacquer TINSLEY (450 baht). It is a pink-ish purple nail polish colour with gold glitters in it. FABULOUSITY IS RIGHT HERE! It's so glittery! It's so pinky! It's so PER-RI-TAY! :) Love love love love this. Let's not get hooked with how pretty the color is. NEXT! Recently, my nails have been going kook-koo and breaking (a lot), so I decided to buy the Nail Tek The Natural Nail Experts III Protection Plus It is for dry and brittle nails. As the sales suggested, you could use this as a base and top coat. It does not make my nails look as nice as the Seche Vite top coat, but this is more nail friend for sure. Last but not least, I got the Dot Brush Set (230 baht). I have been wanting these brushes for ages! And! I know you may be able to get them on Amazon for cheaper. But!!! I am lazy to wait from them, so I just got these :D. And as a free gift, I got the Nail Tek Crystal File, which usually costs 510 baht. I do not really use nail files, so this does not make me excited, but it is a travel friend nail file :S.

Overall, what I got.

The next store I visited is the "Beauty Terminal" in Terminal 21 room E10 and E23. Please, Please, Please go visit this shop! I have to say it is the all in one shop. What I mean is that here, you will get things that you can not get any where else, or you can but at a cheaper price. For instance, the products you can get are 'physician formula', 'the balm', bdellium tools', 'Sigma brushes' and many more! I am not being sponsored by this shop or anything, but I do recommend all those beauty-addicts out there to check this shop. So! After all that, I got some products from them too! First is Shiseido The Hair Care Adenovital Scalp Treatment Thinning Hair (??? baht). I have heard "MANY" claims that this helps those people who have 'hair falling' problems. And.. I DO have this problem SEVERELY. I hope this twinsies will help me :(. Anyways. Moving on. Next I picked up the Bisous Dual Eyeliner #1 (Black + White Pearl) (??? baht). Why did I buy this? Easy. For traveling. When you girls travel, you know the pain of packing and carrying your own luggage with most of the weight contributing to make-up products. To eliminate that problem, I decided to buy travel friendly products to reduce the pain in the *** when traveling. That's all. Basically, you get a two ended pen like product with white and black at each ends. The next two products, I would have to say three products are from Etude House. The first two out of the bunch are the Tear Eye Liner (???baht) in metallic silver and pearl white (no, those are not the names but just my descriptions).The third product from Etude House is Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips in PPK001 (420 baht). It gives the most natural pink lips you can get from a lipstick. Well, if you trying to achieve the Korean cutesy lips, then you have to use this for sure! The next product I bought only because of the packaging, which is JillStuart fruit & aroma mists refresh oil control. Let's not talk about it. Its expensive and I do not know if I will like it :'(. NEXT! Again, I grabbed another Bisuos product, which is the Bisuos Bisuos Pink Martini LipGloss KissProof #5. It is a lip gloss with a lip stick pigmentation that lasts like a lip stain. Ok? The end. HAHA. Just try it, and you will know it, that you need it. Ok? Plus, the packaging will shine lights in your eyes that you will blindly buy it without knowing. Lastly from this shop, I got the Physicians Formula eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum. This is a very, very, very, very GOOD eyeliner. It does last a LOOOONG time. As for a serum, I have no idea if it does actually help my lashes grow longer. Its is very pigmented and very easy to use. Ok? :D

What I got from Terminal 21!
In the month of August, I did travel back to Myanmar a couple of times. I did not have a lot of free time, but I was still able to squeeze in some time to buy a few beauty products. I went to Missha counter to buy the MISSHA COMPLEXION COORDINATING CC Cream SPRK 43/ PA ++. I do not know how much it costs, so sorry about that. But, all I can say is that, after a few tries, its does slightly whitens your face with a low to medium coverage. The most interesting thing about this product is the packaging of the product. You have to rotate the top part of the bottle and then the CC cream will slowly pop out of the whole inside. This is very good for hygiene purposes.

The Box
The Product.
 The next and last product(s) I bought are the SKIN79 BB Miniature Set. I wanted to try the SKIN79 BB creams for a long time already, but I definitely do not want to invest a lot of my money into full size products, so I decided to get these small sample size ones. Again, I do not know the prices.
The Products from SKIN 79.
What it consists of. 
In the duty free, I did not miss out. Of course, me going abroad also means me shopping in duty free. First I got the Maybelline Falsies Mascara (380 baht). The next few products are from Clinique Chubby Stick (555 baht). I have not tried these two products AT ALL, so I have no review/ first impressions to talk about.
Duty Free 1 (Maybelline Mascara and Clinique Stick Eyeshadow)
The next few products are also not tested yet so for now I can tell you what I have bought and how much it costed which are Guerlain Terracotta Palette (US $62), Giorgio Armani Lumnessene BB Cream (US $58) and lastly Bobbi Brown Soho Chic Palette (US $57).
Duty Free 2 (Giorgio Armani, Guerlain)

And there you go. My collective haul for August.

MaxFactor CC Colour Correcting Cream Instant Complexion Enhancer 50 Natural SPF 10

Hi, 

Today I will review the MaxFactor CC Colour Correcting Cream Instant Complexion Enhancer 50 Natural SPF 10. It is a medium coverage CC cream with a tint of pink shade(it is much for thick compared to the CC creams from Korea), and it definitely covers the redness, but it is not enough to cover the under eyes bags. I would say if feels thicker than the Revlon Naked Foundation. I used the real techniques buffing brush for a flawless skin-like effect. I will have to say it does oxidize a little bit on my face after a few minutes of applying it. 

After 8 hours: 
It did not control oil on my T-zone even though I used a primer already. Plus, it felt so thick and annoying through out the day, especially when I got hot and sweaty. I would not recommend to use it during the summer or in humid weather due to the foundation's thick consistency on the face, but it may work during the winter or dry weather. 

But! Do not judge this product based on one review. Please go around and go to the counter to test the product itself to see if it may be suitable for your skin!

K-Palette 24H Real LAsting Eyebrow Liner

HELOOWS!

As you may (or may not know), recently, I went to Singapore for a holiday and got many goodies to try out! So the first goodie that have been using and testing is the K-Palette 24H Real LAsting Eyebrow Liner. It is an eyebrows liner. As mentioned in previous post (Haul & mini-review: Watsons in Singapore) 

    "people with fair skin, I would recommend 01 Natural Brown, but people with a little tanned skin          will need to buy the 02 Grayish brown color. The product claims to draw perfect natural brows            with the "dual" flat point tip. It is also shade, mark and tint-ing you eyebrow that will be smudge          proof and water-resistant. It is also build-able color to increase the intensity."

Thailand also sells this product. It would be around 590 baht. There are some small shops that import by themselves (they could be cheaper or more expensive so be careful people). The packaging is bulky but it sure does attract some attention (the norm of Japanese products). To be honest, although it is not environmentally friendly, but it is a good thing because for those of you high school-ers can buy this as a gift for their friends (in my opinion). 

Packaging 
After using it for a few times, I would have to say the formula (in my opinion) is similar to the "SUQQU eyebrow liner", except the colors are different (BUT MUCH MUCH MORE CHEAPER). Would I buy "SUQQU" one? Of course! I would want to try out if there is really a difference but based on my experience from swatching "SUQQU" from the store and using this product, I could say that at least the first impression is similar. But for the quantity of product and how long it could last, I would have to try and buy the "SUQQU" one first to confirm that. And, like I said, the color selections are different. "SUQQU" has on shade that is a darkish green with a tint of brown. I feel like that gives of a more natural feel. This is based on what I saw from my friend ( a Western girl with light brown hair though). As I said, since I do not have "SUQQU" I can not confirm it is a 'dupe' yet, but if you are used to using brown and like the color brown, then I would say you should give this a try. But, for people who just started filling their brows, I would say practice with the pencil and powder eyebrow liners first since they are easier to correct. Furthermore, since it is in ink link, it does not smudge as much as the pencil or powder eyebrow liners. It sure is like a tattoo! 

Swatch on the hand.

Haul: Sephora in Singapore

Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi!
So! This will be the last store I visited in Singapore, and it is SEPHORA!*woop-woop* For me, when I think of Singapore, I think of Sephora. I just wish Thailand had one and UK had one. But, anyways, let's move on to the haul.
I got a Sephora Daily Makeup Brush Cleanser because my "Elf Makeup Brush Cleanser" is running out and I wanted to try a new brand. Next, I got Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask because the sales in the store suggested me that this is one of the best eye masks in the shop. I had my brother (he has oily skin) to try for me first, and he said that he felt a "tingling" sensation on the under eye and it slowly made his eyes ache. I did not personally try it yet, but I will tonight, so I cannot give any personal opinion at the moment. All I wanted to say for this product is that there may be some of you who may not like it due to the "tingling" sensation, and possibly aching your eyes. To the right of the eye mask is the Benefit Stay Don't Stray Primer.  I had this product before, but I did not use it for awhile, so I went "bad" on me, thus, I had to throw it away in the end. But! I remember loving this product, so I repurchased it. However, this time, I am not sure if other countries will carry the same, there is a brush applicator (no more pump-pumps) and there are two colors available for different skin tones! You go Benefit! The rest of the haul are eye liners I got from Sephora, which are listed below:
Sephora Crayon Contour Yeux 12H Waterproof 10. Banana Split- Mat. Matte
Sephora Crayon Yeux scintillant Twinkle light eye pencil Twinkle gold 
Sephora Crayon Contour Yeux 12H Waterproof 35 Romantic comedy 
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil Water proof Perversion 
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Perversion 

Products I got from Sephora.

Sorry, there weren't much of a helpful content in these blog posts. After this, I will slowly posts some reviews of the products I have purchases so far for all of you who are deciding if they should or should not buy them.

Haul & mini-review: Watsons in Singapore


HELLOW! 

I am back again like I said with a haul from Singapore! This one will be all products from Watsons in Singapore. Yes, I know that Bangkok also has Watsons, but I wanted to know if the brands they carry are the same as in Thailand. For majority of the store, we have it here in Bangkok, but there are some specific ones that we do not have here (even they have it here, I still bought it because of the tax refund). In the picture below on the far left, they are Eyemazing Amoyamo Produced by Ayamo NO. 818 American Casual Wood Brown and Eyemazing Amoyamo Produced by AMO NO. 814 Cinnamon Cookie Colive Brown x Olive Gold. I do not remember the prices, but I would have to say they are each around 20-30 Singapore dollars. As a first impression, I have a feeling I will be loving this. Why? The ends of the lashes is a 'clear' plastic that is quite flexible and makes your lashes look natural when put them on. Usually, the cheaper brands I bought in the past have a hard and thick plastic rim, which makes my eyes feel uncomfortable (so I have very high hopes on these lashes). Next, is the K-Palette 24H real Lasting Eyebrow Liner in 01 Natural brown color. I have used eyebrow products in powder and pencil forms, so I wanted to try one that is like a liner. Initially, I wanted to buy the "SUQQU" eyebrow liner, but since I have never tried an eyebrow liner, I did not want invest a lot of money in a product I am not familiar with yet. People with fair skin, I would recommend 01 Natural Brown, but people with a little tanned skin will need to buy the 02 Grayish brown color. The product claims to draw perfect natural brows with the "dual" flat point tip. It is also shade, mark and tint-ing you eyebrow that will be smudge proof and water-resistant. It is also build-able color to increase the intensity. The next product is my all time favorite mascara remover Herione Mascara Remover. So, what you do is apply the product as if you were applying mascara on your lashes, then you wait for a few mintues and wipe out the product with some cotton pads. WOA-LA! Around the corner, I saw a unique product called Hollywood Stain Remover  and then I remembered that I saw this product from Youtube series in Singapore called "Tried and Tested". I also have high hopes from this due to the reviews I have read from the past. The next two products are eyeliners, which are Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner (yes, they have it in thailand and CLIO Twisturn Waterproof Turnliner Star Silver NO.1. As first impression, I LOVE THEM BOTH! Why? They are very convenient for travelling and using daily. Both of them are medium to high pigmentation. And, for the CLIO, it is a very unique product, but you had to put out a black "thing" (since I could not find a word to describe it) and then pressed down the tip area to poke a hole, thus making the product lasting longer (as long as you do not open it). AMAZE-BALLS! As a bonus, they both dry really fast! *screams* I guess you can feel my excitement. You could see some swatches below. The silver swatches are from CLIO, and the black swatches are from Maybelline. Lastly, I bought a group of products, which are face masks from "Garnier" to "Leaders". After using them, if they are effective, I will make an individual review-post. I believe in Thailand, you can buy of the masks below except the eye masks. I have not heard much reviews before (but hey that is just me), so I want to use it before 
commenting on them.

Haul: Guardian in Singapore

Hi BeautyBuggiessss!

Today, I am back with another haul, and this one is from Singapore! I am going to separate them into three blog posts according to the shops I got them from. In my opinion, this would be an easier format for people to read and follow. Bare in mind that this is a collective haul. First of all, I went to a drugstore in Singapore called "Guardian". I am not sure if all "Guardian" in Singapore carry these products, but I definitely know the Marina Bay Sands Shoppes branch does. There I found many brands that I have never heard of in either Thailand and England, but due to time constraints, I was not able to browse around as much as I wanted to. In the end, I bought two body creams and a lip essence. The two body creams are from the brand 2B. The first one is 2B Alternative Into Arm & Body (100ml) and the other one is 2B Alternative Skirt Ready (120ml). I have forgotten the exact price, but as I recall, it is around 40-50 Singapore dollars. You could buy online here. This website also offers international shipping, therefore, it is convenient for all of you overseas. I have heard about this product from "Bubzbeauty" on Youtube in her "March Favorites" clip, so I decided to give it a try and but the combo set. The other product I bought (as I mentioned above) is the Little Twin Stars Lip Essence. I would have to admit that I have bought this product because of the packaging. Look at those two cute twins!!! How can you resist such cute product. As you can see, I have not even opened them, so I would not be able to give any first impressions yet (sorry!).
To Be Continued...
(there will be another blog post coming soon!)
