Want-it Wishlist : Sleek Makeup

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

With myself in a spending ban, I had nothing to do but to actually drool and window-shop at these online stores. So beware of these kind of posts as I think this is just one of the withdrawal symptoms of not shopping, LOL, joking! I won't say that I'm addictive to shopping, but I just miss them, I can't wait for January to come and shop for more products. I still have lots to review and I realized I have a few bits of mascara that I never get to review, so I'm going to start on that later on.

So today we have a brand from UK, Sleek Cosmetics. I swear UK is a very dangerous country for me to enter, as I'd be in a shopping frenzy. They always have these crazy ideas and great products with great qualities, so I would always definitely be lured into wanting to try it.

The picture above is their Blush By 3 palettes, I love anything in a palette as I find them to be storage-friendly and I'm not into single compacts that could clutter my makeup storage. I actually purchased the Blush By 3 palette in Lace but somehow got lost in translation, so I currently don't have it. I might purchase it again soon, if they do have discounted sales. 

 And also, oh the lovely palettes that are the cults in the beauty world. Out of all of this palettes, I would go for the Oh So Special palette (center, above) and the Storm palette (center, below). The eyeshadow palette are almost like collectibles, I'd definitely collect these if I already gun down a job, but for now, I would settle on just purchasing the two that I've mentioned. But hopefully, I'd win in a giveaway so I'd definitely don't have to repurchase, InshaAllah hehe :D

A tinted lipbalm for everyday use, need I saw more? LOL.

Also, I'd like to try out the foundation testers, but I might purchase the liquid foundation though as I'm not a big fan of creme foundations, but I might be able to use these as concealers or even bronzing? 

Skincare Review : Essence Pure Skin SOS Spot Killer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

On another review with Essence, well, I hope you aren't bored with it cuz these are the only things I've bought recently. Technically, this has been sitting in my draft for months. I bought this, hoping that it could help me with my search for the perfect zit-zapper. As I really like the toner because of the effect its giving me, I'd definitely be repurchasing the toner after I'm done with it and also the other refreshing toner from Essence.

SOS Spot Killer, I'm sorry girl as this has been sitting long in my drafts, so I can't really remember the ingredients. But there's no salicylic acid and no oxybenzoate. The two most coveted chemicals used to reduce breakouts, so of course, I'd be curious on how it fares with my Oxy 10.

It comes with an unpractical glass jar-like tube, it looks like normal lip gloss tubes but it was made of glass, if I unscrew or screw the top, it would screech, so I was afraid of its fragility. 

It comes with a brush applicator similar to nail polishes.

It gives of an off-white fast-drying liquid, and I don't even know why I bother to blend it out. But as you can see here, this is not something you can whip up when you're out and about.

I think, in terms of performance, it only slightly reduce swellings and redness, which isn't something I'm not looking for, I want it to be effective to zap zits. Since it contains alcohol, it is good for disinfecting wherever your pimples are located.

On another note, I haven't used this a lot, but I found out that if you do not close this off properly, the product will dry up.

Even if this thing is cheap, but it's just a waste of money if it doesn't do the job properly and doesn't even last that long in the bottle.

Reader's Opinion : Foundation

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I think it's about time that I open up a new section in this blog to keep things interested as I am on a spending ban and I'm actually doing well on it, I just have a lot of things to actually review too, so I'd definitely still have a lot of things to review and hopefully by the end of the spending ban, I'd still have a lot of things to review. I might even make a tutorial on how I do my eyeshadows, as a lot of my friends have been asking about it. Well, we'll see about that, I'm a big fan of procrastinating, lol.

So anyways, the real reason of this blog post is that, I want to know what kind of foundation that you readers use, I'm more of a big fan of BB Creams and I only own two foundations, Essence's 16hr Foundation and Silkygirl's Liquid Foundation. I love my Essence foundation, a little too dark on me, but I use it to mix with my BB Cream of the day, so that I have more coverage and matches my skintone. I never really try to use just foundation on my face.

So here I am, asking for your recommendations on what foundations that you'd like me to try :D

FOTD : Without Makeup

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Just an FOTD and believe it or not, this is me, without makeup! I didn't even color in my eyebrows or anything. Not even a hint of eyeliner, just lipbalm and I was off to my granduncle's tahlil. I was so busy before that, when I went home, I wiped off my makeup and all, without even realizing that I needed to go out again. I didn't even have the time to re-apply makeup. 

Thanks to low quality of ze phone, it hides my hideous scar well enough. As you can see from the picture below, they are my cousins. So cute. Hehehe.

Sample Review : Missha M Boomer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I think it would be nice to add in a sample review, as mostly reviewing a product sample that might have little amount of products that would yield to an inaccurate review. But yet, this is what I think on first impressions which is basically important for me to like the samples or not.

I got this sample from my friend who doesn't even like samples, so she gave it away to me. This was from Missha's official opening in Brunei. I used it during my semester break and I got around to actually post this now. LOL. But don't worry, I still remember the bits and bobs of the primer as this stands out from the rest of the samples that I've used.

This primer is different from what I'd like to use, a white emulsion with shimmers but when blended it will give you a brightened look without the glitter/shimmer being so obvious.

The texture is quite thin and thus easily blends into the skin. What I like about this is just the smell, the performance for me isn't so good. Although doesn't give a silicone-y feel to it, it still gives a smooth canvas to work on. However, this doesn't last me for more than 4 hours. It slips off and ruined my makeup by the end of the day. I have to admit, I was on a heavy-duty shopping that time, that I even climb up the stairs from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Yes, I can't believe I did that. So I was sweating, this would be where the primer is tested, does it still puts my makeup where it is or does it run off with all the sweats. Well, it runs off and it doesn't look nice on me when it does.

Purchase the full size? Nope, there's better primers than Missha's BB Boomer.
