Want-it Wishlist: Skin79 Bronze BB Cream

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

There's this one product on my wishlist that really bugs me which is the Skin79 Bronze BB Cream. BB Creams are hard to match up with your skintone, as much as I love BB Creams, I'd usually add a darker foundation that I bought from Essence to mix with my BB Creams so they'd match up to my skintone, they're just too LIGHT!

My dream of a BB Cream is to have a shade that is just so matched up to my skintone that I don't ever need to add with dark foundations cuz it is tiring and quite heavy for day-to-day activities. Although I embrace my bare-face, but sometimes my skin is not at its best state that I do need a little pick-me-up.

This is the new release from Skin79, I swatched it a few weeks ago and it is somehow the type of color that would suit my skin. The only drawbacks of this product is that:

HARDLY ANY REVIEWS FROM YOUTUBE/BLOGS THAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLE

NO CHEAPER PRICE FROM EBAY

NO SAMPLES FROM LOCAL STORE

I checked Skin79 store at The Mall, it only has the 40g, well that was a few weeks ago, I'm not sure if they do have any 5g tube or 15g bottles. But either way, I'd really love to have a try with this because, now that I'm tanned from joining the National Day's marching, it's actually a good reason for me to use those darker foundations that's been sitting on my dresser, but then, I want a lighter texture for daily use, this might be it.

Want-it Wishlist : Skin79 BB Creams

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I already have the Hot Pink BB Cream. I do feel like collecting all of the colors, but in a 15g form because I know 40g is a lot to finish up!

What about you girls? Are you going to pick it up in 40g bottle or 15g bottle?

Want-It Wishlist : Make-up/Toiletries Bag

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Happy celebrating Ramadhan! The first few days of Ramadhan has passed, did you girls do well today? InshaAllah, all of our good deeds will be accepted in this holy month. I haven't started fasting yet, I am still on "holiday" :( I wish it was like last year where I actually had my "holiday" on the last day of Ramadhan, thus my fasting qadha was just for a day.

So, I'm all about organizing, heck I have a lot of bags to put every categories of things that I have. But when I saw a "What's In My Travel Bag" from Bubzbeauty, I started to fall in love with the roll-up bag with a hanger attached. I feel like it's a perfect thing for me since I really need something to organize my day-to-day toiletries whenever I'm out and about. I don't want to mix my toiletries with my makeup.

Debenhams.com

I've been so obsessed looking for one of these, I hardly found something like this, I do own a bag with the hanger attached, but I just don't seem to think that it's big enough for some of my stuffs and I do only put the most important stuffs, but I guess it's too small for some of the products I put there.

The one from Debenham, I really love it, it's the one that Bubzbeauty showed on her video, it's very big but it suits for a weekend stay at the hotel or travelling outside the country. Also it's affordable, around BND20+? I must say that's good value for money, I really want to get this soon when I go on a trip to KL again because I know there's a Debenham store there, but hopefully this bag is also available there too or else, I'll just have to ask my friend to buy it for me.

Baggalini, Amazon.com

Also from Baggalini, which you can find it in the Amazon website, I haven't seen a real picture of it, because let's face it, no one would actually review a toiletry bag. I do think this one is better suit for everyday's makeup/toiletry bag. Because I do remove my makeup sometimes at noon, so I can perform my solat and then re-apply my skincare and makeup routine after that because I am still not confident of not wearing any makeup going out.

Hadaki, Amazon.com, Hadaki.com

Hadaki, Amazon.com, Hadaki.com

Hadaki is also a nice brand that catches my eyes, it has a wide range of different pattern and also types of these hanging toiletries bag, I must say out of  the bags that I've searched, Hadaki is one of the best one I've come across so far as not only it has a lot of choices, it seems great for an everyday makeup/toiletry bag. Unfortunately it's too expensive, with the shipping, it can cost me a total of $40+, I'm not going to spend that money on just a toiletry bag.

Do you girls have something similar like this? To Bruneian readers, if you ever see this kind of bags in Brunei, please tell me how much and where! *pretty please*

Want-it Wishlist : Blush Palette Galore

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Hello guys! I think I’ve had too many Want-It Wishlists, but I really love to buy these palettes for giving those pinky glows on your cheek. Can you actually believe that I currently only have two blushes in my make-up collection? Not that I’m complaining as I am making full use of these two blushes.

Anyways, I’ve stumbled open a few blush palettes I’d like to have, where 4 of them are actually more of to the budget side.

1.       Neve Cosmetic’s Blushissmi Blush and Contour Palette – This is the most expensive out of all, but I assume that the quality of this palette is pretty much of the higher side due to the price. It’s as if there’s hardly any red-coloured blush which is somewhat a big nay for me, as I’d love to actually have a diverse range of color in my blush palettes. Though it’s a plus that they have contouring powder and what seems to be a highlighting palette.

2.       Cherimoya Blush Bronzer Palette – Something that is affordable around $5-7, which is fine by me as there are 4 different colours in it. Also, there’s actually a bronzer in there.

3.       Body Collection Blush Quad -  I’ve actually seen this because my friend bought it from UK, though at first I wasn’t lusting over it, but now that I love to venture on blushes, I wished I’ve asked her to buy it for me too. LOL!

4.       Cherimoya Mineral Blush Palette – There’s 2 blushes that are bright pink, while the other two are muted pink and a reddish pink. These blush quads from Cherimoya seems exciting to try.

5.       W7 Duo Blusher - Anything from W7 is definitely affordable and I’d love to try this out, I haven’t found any reviews regarding this particular product. But nevertheless, W7 is known to have pigmented blushes/bronzers. So not something I’d regret to try :D

Do you have any blush palettes that you could recommend?

Want-it Wishlist : Essence Sun Club and Night Club Palettes

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another Want-It Wishlist, I should actually label it as Palette Wishlist as I am a real sucker for eyeshadow palettes and budget makeup. Combining both is a lethal combination for me as I'd definitely go on and drool over them. I've actually found a brand that really gets me going, I'd definitely post about it next time, InshaAllah. It might actually make you drool too.

Anyways, I've already purchased the first palette from Essence, though the texture wasn't so satisfying but at least it doesn't ruin the pigments of the eyeshadows, so I'd definitely want to go back for more. 

The new palettes from the Night Club range is nice too! I'd love to get my hands on to the dark purple version. But I'd definitely try and get all of them for my collection, LOL!

Want-it Wishlist : Technic Palettes

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Okay, another wishlist and obsession over palettes. This is actually a brand from UK, I think I'm pretty much revised with some of the budget brands from UK than my friends in UK who are into makeup as well. LOL!

I'd definitely purchase all of these palettes, InshaAllah, so watch this space for the swatch and reviews, they actually are affordable too! They cost around B$4 each, so why not collect all, LOL!

Want-It Wishlist : BeautyUK

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

So another Want-It Wishlist and this time the brand is, as usual, all the way from UK. I don't know what's with make-up brands from UK, they simply have the products that performs nicely and very pigmented despite the low price.

BeautyUK, I don't think this product actually captures a lot of hearts from beauty bloggers all around the blogosphere. I mean it's hard for me to actually find reviews with this particular brand. I pretty much prefer this over VIVO and LOOK beauty. But that's just my opinion.

And duh, of course I'd definitely go for the palettes, though I will definitely be purchasing the palette No.7 Naked! You can never have too much neutral palette, I actually have 3 MUA Palettes in my shopping cart, waiting to be purchased. I wanted to go for the Soho Palette, but the fact that they have 4 blue shadows just does not fare well with influencing me to purchase it.

They actually have the eyeshadow palette that includes two gel liners, at first I wanted to get a go for it, but from the reviews, I think I'd just let it pass.

And then, there's the set of lip vinyls, this is very intriguing, I'm so curious with the performance of this product, so yeah, I'd just love to try this! :D

Want-It Wishlist : Wet and Wild Eyeshadows

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I'll apologize first for the lack of updates and in the future, I might resume in February, in time for my birth month! I've been very busy with my offline life as things were very hectic and as you can see on my Instagram today, you would see I took a pic of a Tuna Mayo and Tomato Sandwich, I kid you not, but that was my school's assignment.

I'm currently listening to cover songs that my friend from Little Red Viola introduced to me and so far I've been listening a lot to Alex Goot, Maddie Jane, Boyce Avenue and Max Schneider. You should actually check my friend out, she's a Bruneian beauty/lifestyle blogger. Also, she's my bestfriend!

For today's Want-It Wishlist, I've included the famous Wet and Wild Eyeshadow palettes. No one can deny it that not only they are cheap and affordable, the eyeshadows are also very pigmented. It's a cult product that I just need to have. If I were rich, I'd love to collect all of them.

The above picture is the Color Icon range, I must say that I'd love to have Lust and Greed, as the colors are the ones that I get a lot of use! 

For the trio shadows, I think this is useful to stash it into your portable makeup bag, as sometimes I am rushed to school and the eyeshadows I wear could actually be a little uneven. So touching up using the trios are useful, although I'd love to have "Walking on Eggshells", "Sweet as Candy", "Knock on Wood" and "Sweet Treatment" while the others are a plus to collect. There's some of the trios sold on 99cents chain store in America, selling for $0.99, I am so jealous that it's way too far for me to grab these and obviously, I have no friends going to America.

I think since there's only 3 of them, why not just collect them all? LOL! Though I'm not a big fan of Blue Had Me At Hello as I think I have a large amount of blue eyeshadows in my collection, well. Maybe not more than 15, but I still think I have had enough of blue eyeshadows. I crave for colors, believe it or not!

Want-It Wishlist : November 2012

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Want-It Wishlist : November 2012
with Tonymoly, MISSHA, MUA Makeup Academy

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? 

Want-it Wishlist : Benefit Cosmetics

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

On to another wishlist is something that I never ever thought about wanting which is the Benefit Cosmetics. We all know Benefit products are typically expensive for a person with a college budget, but I'd love to splurge on one of these sets, just to try out a few of their products at once.

First up, the Confession of a Concealaholic Kit, someone who are more prone to blemishes would love the idea of this gift set. I'm not sure if I want this kit because I mainly want to just try the Erase Paste.

In this set, there's a foundation, the primer and the pressed powder. I believe Boi-ing is a sort of concealer? I might try the Medium or Dark as I'm interested in trying out the foundation. But I don't know if splurging my money towards this set would be very wise as there's just a big probability that I won't use the foundation if it doesn't match with my skin. Looking at the swatches online, Medium might be a little to light for me and the Dark might be a little too dark for me too, so I might try and buy the Dark version as if it's too dark, I can just mix it up with my BB Creams but then, the Boi-ing concealers might not match me, so I'm in a dilemma here.

Finding Mr Bright set, I love to try this out mainly it has 3 of the this that I wanted to try, High Beam highlighter, Posietint and Erase Paste, so I might take this and ditch the Concealaholic Kit because I won't have to worry about how I would remove any of the product out from the box. 

Then the Sexy Little Stowaway, I think this is quite a great bargain as it has the mascara, Hoola bronzer and the Bella Bamba blush. The two primers too! Also the four tubes, I think it's Stay, Don't Stray eye primer, Watt It Up highlighter, Sunbeam highlighter and Cha Cha Tint. Also lastly the Eye Cream that alot have been talking about.

I must say I won't be ready to buy a whole lot of this in full-size as I don't really have the luxury to buy and repurchase them if ever I liked them, but if ever I buy the Sexy Little Stowaway set, I'd be receiving a blusher and a bronzer, I don't think I'l be repurchasing those, cuz they are long-lasting and I'd prefer to try new ones than repurchasing blushes/bronzers over and over again.

Want-it Wishlist : Maybelline

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Here's another Want-it Wishlist for you ladies out there, I haven't really tried anything from Maybelline, I think except for their tube lipgloss which I grow to dislike, not because of the product but because of the heaviness of that gloss just doesn't cut out for me.

But I do want to try their SuperStay Satin Glosses, I can't remember how many shades there are, but I hope there's a coral in their collection. I'm a big fan of lip tints ever since I discovered Tonymoly's Milky Tints so this would be absolutely nice to try if only it's available here, in Brunei.

I've never really read a lot of reviews for Maybelline's foundation and since I hardly own any foundations, it's time that I'd try this, I love the idea of your foundation with a foamy texture. Although a big risk in investing in foundations is color-matching as I am still up to now unsure of what's my skintone shade, but I think it goes towards Golden Beige but a little lighter.

The bouncy blushes has been given good reviews and has lovely shades, enough said.

Maybelline's gel liners are great stuff but the thing is the price has stopped me from purchasing this. I know this would be a good investment, but I just can't stop comparing the price with Baviphat's and Essence's gel liners as theirs are much cheaper for their good quality products

There's currently three colors available for Essence's cream eyeshadows, so I'd love more color like Maybelline's famous Permanent Taupe and Rose Gold. 

I don't have a lot of blushes in my collection and I'm about to haul a few blushes from MUA or maybe not, I'm not sure yet of which brand I'm going to haul blushes from in UK, so Maybelline's is another option too.

I have two foundations at home and I want to try more! 

It says SuperStay for 24 hours, a lip tint, want to try this too! :D

I never bought mascaras from Brunei's Maybelline as I find it too expensive at $18-20, I'd rather buy a 5 pound Maybelline mascara from UK. Even if I have to wait for a long time for my friend to arrive in Brunei, LOL.

Want-it Wishlist : Natural Collection

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

It has been such a long time for me to have a Want-It Wishlist post and this has been in the draft for quite a few months already, so it's about time for me to post it up. Natural Collection is a budget cosmetic brand from UK. So as you can see I love UK products, only because I am able to purchase products that aren't available here through the help of my friend who studies there, so I will only get to see and receive the items that I've bought on their summer break.

Many raved about their blushes and I am planning to buy a few of them as I technically only have just 3 blushes and the souffle blush is running out fast! I do love the cream blush so much! :D So anyways, not only do I want to expand my blush collection, they are also affordable at GBP1.99 each, which is B$4+ roughly.

These are their lipglosses and some of you might notice that I'm not a big fan of lipglosses but I just don't like to spend more than $8 on lipglosses too, so I decided that I should try this one out next time when it arrives. If I do confirm on buying them, lol.

Pressed powders, I seriously don't know why I am not branching out to loose powders. I bring my pressed powder everywhere so loose powders are just too messy for my hectic schedule. So I would love to try out a cheaper pressed powder as I've been stuck in wearing Silkygirl's pressed powders for years now and I would love to try out new powders.

I'm a big fan of tinted moisturizers although I hardly wear it out public as I am a little bit paranoid as a blemish-prone person, tinted moisturizers won't cut it, but it's a nice little handy item to have as there are times when my blemishes are less visible or when I'm out and about in Miri as it's just a place where we would shop outside the border and there's hardly any people that recognizes me, lol. 

Want-it Wishlist : Bits and Bobs

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another Want-It Wishlist post, and the ones below are the ones I really really love to have RIGHT NOW! LOL.

YSL Glossy Lip Stain, a current cult in the blogosphere, it has tons of shades to pick from so this is something I would love to try because most Korean lip stains only has 3 shades : Pink, Red and Orange.

A Lip and Cheek stain from Benefit, a regular in the blogosphere, always popping here and there. Some prefer the red tint, was it the Cha Cha Tint? LOL, I can never remember names of products so much. However, I love pink tints as they come of as vibrantly natural on my lips.

Cute shower foams from Etude House containing Milk Extracts! I went to the store a few days ago and I am in love with the Chocolate Milk, Steamed Milk and the Banana Milk. They smell so delicious, almost like the real thing! I would definitely buy this on my next pay! :D

This is not the exact Garnier BB Cream that is available in our local store, I think the exact name of their product was Instant Moisturizer BB Cream? It costs just abou $9.90 or lower, a very cheap BB Cream, I don't think it'll have a lot of coverage, might come across as a tinted moisturizer, nevertheless, this is mine on my next pay.

Unfortunately, items are sold separately in our local Etude House and much more expensive, therefore I'll be purchasing this when I live in KL next year :D

I think I'd love to try something more mild than a bottle of oil to reduce my ever-so-obvious acne marks that I depend on makeups and poor lighting to make me look flawless in pictures i.e the OOTD a few weeks ago wearing my brown Baju Kurung.
