Beauty Buys : 3 days straight!

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I was a part-timer promoting for a company that promotes and markets a few brands such as Nandos, Bad Lab and Good Virtues Co. They were promoting those brands at the ASEAN Consumer Fair 2015. I was there to also promote and help sell the products. Promoting their products for hours and hours, really lures me in to try out their product, unfortunately even I as promoter, I can't get them for free but I did get a hand lotion that really smells nice!

Also, I did get some bargain with the Holika Holika and Clio products and got them for a fraction of the price that they usually sell. And, the brushes, I bought them from Paloma, I was in need of new brushes but poo, I hated the blush brush it was so not what I expected!

What I bought:

1. Good Virtues Co Brightening Day Cream

2. Good Virtues Co Brightening Facial Cleanser

3. Good Virtues Co Make-up Remover

4. Good Virtues Co Brightening Facial Toner

5. Good Virtues Co Brightening Cream

6. Holika Holika Cream Shadow & Petite Liner

7. Clio Kill Black Waterproof Brush Liner

8. Clio Gelpresso

9. Satine Blush Brush

10. Cosmetica Eyeshadow Blending Brush

Make-up Review: Makeup Academy Intense Kisses Lip Gloss in Sealed with a Kiss

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

MUA's Intense Kisses Lip Gloss is a much loved product for me but I never get on to actually review the first two, sorry, my bad! But no worries, my thoughts on these lip glosses is similar as this is something I'd definitely go back and buy more color of unless I can find something better, the Power Pout Acrylic does seem to interest me somehow.

The lip gloss comes in a small but a bit chunky packaging, it's easy to tell apart the colors you own. I chose the shade "Sealed with a Kiss" because honestly, you can never have too much nude but in this case, I do have too little nudes in my collection since I'm all about neutral and darker pinks.

I like the fact that the texture wasn't sticky or thick, it's very much comfortable on my lips and they apply very smoothly on my lips, I do find that this is not as pigmented as the other 2 lipglosses for the same range but all the same have good pigmentation. This lipgloss will definitely lighten up any lipsticks I put below this.

When used with a nude lipstick underneath, it definitely will help enhance the nude-ness of the lipstick, the lipgloss will be able to stand for 3 hours before it fades, I don't mind applying this as well. This is a great product that I'd definitely repurchase if I ever get around to order from MUA.

Make-up Review: Clio Lipnicure in Shocking Pink

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another makeup review with a Korean brand called Clio, this is my first product from this brand albeit I do have a curiosity in their eye products especially their gel liners but never got around to purchasing them and try them out.

I bought this lip product from Lipnicure, not just because of the cute packaging, just like a nail polish. But because of the durability of this lip product, I was swatching these lipnicures at my nearest Guardian and I was just checking out their pigmentation, they are as you can see very pigmented and when I swatched them, I usually let them set on my hand and then while I'm out and about, try to remove these swatches. I can tell you this, THEY DO NOT BUDGE AT ALL!

Let me indulge more on the review later on. but look at the applicator, it's doe-shaped applicator with a concave on the other side. I feel this shape is weird applying the product but nonetheless, not that difficult, I still can maneuver the applicator with no feathering and uneven applications.

As you can see from the swatch, it is a very nude but bright coral, I seriously don't know how to explain this color, although it says it is Shocking Pink but it leans more coral than pink.

It applies matte, as you know in the beauty world, people are now crazy for matte liquid lipstick. However the texture of this product is quite tacky, there's little transfer but it is so tacky that it feels uncomfortable to wear it out, also, you should scrub your lips before application as it really clings to your dry areas and it does not look good if you have dry lips, so smooth lips is the way to go.

This stuff can be drying so what I like to do is apply a lipbalm like a sandwich i.e. using lipbalm underneath and above the lip product, kinda defeats the purpose of getting a matte lip but somehow that's the only for me to make this product work. I wished I bought a darker color than this one as I can't seem to find the life in me to use this as often as I would. A repurchase? I would, if they could remove that overwhelming floral musk scent. I swear I could inhale and taste the scent.

Make-up Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Ebony

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've finally bought the most famous brow product that took the world by the horn, well not literally. I have very black brow hairs, so I decided to choose the color Ebony instead of the lighter colors as with my tanned skin, my face does not suit any lighter colors than dark brown to the darkest of brown and black.

The packaging itself does feel expensive with a glass jar, worth the $34 price tag I bought for this and I bought this from an Instagram online seller as I just couldn't be bother to pay for this product for USD30 plus a shipping fee of USD18 which in turn will cost me USD48 or around B$60, so I did save a lot of money given that I'm not really into a shopping spree for Anastasia Beverly Hills.

As you can see the shade that I got, Ebony, is not that black, it is still consider a dark brown color, the darkest of dark brown. It's neither warm nor cool it really matches with my skintone.

This product is very suitable for any look regardless for the barely there makeup to a natural day-to-day look or even a dramatic look. The product itself is creamy and easy to glide on and under your eyebrow if that makes sense, it really depends on the pressure of your eyebrow brush, whether you want to have statement eyebrows or just soft and natural look to your brows. I use this almost everyday as I can control how my eyebrow looked like, I have a sparse part at the midsection of my left brow, so with this pomade, it is pigmented enough to fill in the area.

I love the fact that, not only it'll last long, it's smudgeproof and almost-waterproof, this one, I can see myself buying again and again.
