Blush review- Zoeva and Kiko

Hi all, here's a review of the blushes that I'm not too happy about it. 

First of all it's because of the shades, it's not they are not usable, it's because they are too pigmented and I feel like i only need one nano gram for each application, literally that would take centuries to finish it. Second, it is very hard to blend it out. You can see in the second photo with the swatch.

ZOEVA Luxe Color Blush in Rush Rush, 8g

-The shade has a bit of fluorecent tone on my skin, very reddish and orangy

KIKO Soft Touch Blush in 108, 5g

-If Zoeva's fluorecent tone is abour 50% for me, this one would be 20%, it has more of a peachy undertone, it's wearable too. But I find it hard to pair with pinkish nude lipstick for everyday work makeup, which, I have purchase a NYX Soft matte lip cream in Abu Dhabi, a nudie lip color, hope it comes to my mailbox soon and will have to try pairing it!

The Kiko ones did blend for a bit, but the Zoeva's only slighly lighten a bit and the streak of strong color is still there..... I'm honestly thinking to declutter it :(

Plus, actually I'm eyeing Viseart's blush palette because I wanted a orange ORANGE (but not highly saturated) and PURPLE blush, love makeup.uk is having a sale of 20gbp off! I'm so tempted.... T _ T

 Hope this review helps when you are thinking to purchase the item! ; A ;

Living Nature Lipstick in Pure Passion Review

 Hi all, here's a review of Living Nature Lipstick in Pure Passion. It is a mid-deep tone red for a super classy look, it looks good too when I was wearing white -T with jeans. It makes me feel like attention seeker...haha

The lipstick itself has some very tiny weeny sheen, the formula can be slightly drying and best apply lip pencil if you don't want to see a red streak around you mouth :OOO but since my lips are already on the drier side I always apply lip balm before anything else. It does accentuate my lip line （´＿｀） which makes me sad.... why can't the natural, green formula lipsticks be hydrating...
It can be applied sheer or layer up, the color is great. It's just sad that it feels hard to apply on ); A ; ) It can be a little streaky and needs some blending with brush or finger.

My Current Sunscreen- and Reviews

 Hi all, this is a post about sunscreens I have been using for more than half year and ready to give my thoughts about it.

1. For body- alba BOTANICA Very Emollient Sunscreen in Pure Lavender- I bought this from iHerb about a year ago. Have I been enjoying it?... no. It's too "emollient" and appears to have a greasy texture. At first, I use it on my face, although it does dry out but it has a slightly sticky feeling which am not a fan of. Maybe you have a really dry skin you might enjoy this product. Overall it's a no-no for me...

The oil and the cream separates... which kinda yuck me out regards the inconsistency texture

2. For Face/ Makeup base- Bio-essence Bio Water Power Protect Cooling Sunscreen 50 SPF +
I bought this when I was in Taiwan and the staff in Watson recommended me after saying my skin is on the dryer side and not suitable to use sunscreen with alcohol (?) Anyways, I decided to take her works and I love it! It is on the mid-expensive side but Ihas really enjoying it so far. It sinks into my skin rather fast and I love the watery texture that leaves a smooth application. Will repurchase it when I get back to Malaysia! <3

Innisfree Eco Flower Tint Review- 4 shades

Hi all, here's a review of Innisfree Eco Flower Tint. I purchased 4 shades and all of them are just wonderful. They are named after a flower each and has a light floral scent to it. Basically, they are very nice, tho it's not like balmly-moisturizing, but after the color sinks in it does not accentuate my lip line, the longevity is considered good too. It won't be gone after eating and drinking.

I try my best to capture the photo and adjust the tone to have similar saturation.

• Rose is a light red tint, nothing too over.
• Azalea is very a pink color, just like the color of the real flower, since it's very similar to my lip color, there's nothing too special but very suitable for every day.
• Garden Balsam is very similar to Azalea, but slightly peachy tone, very suitable for normal use too.
• Calendula is the most pigmented of all, it's like a fluorescent tone orange, look super pretty when creating a gradient look. Looking for a fun/ cool choice? This is the way to go.

To add some touch, you could apply lip balm to create a glossy, natural look.(＾▽＾)

Prestige My BIGGEST Lashes Mascara Review

Hi all, here's a short review os this Prestige My BIGGEST Lashes mascara. I know packaging can be important to some people but it doesn't really bother me lol. Anyways, it is a hot pink tube and has 13.6ml, which is quite a lot and around 7nzd, very affordable. The formula can be slightly watery at first but it will get better after opening. Honestly tho, it doesn't give VERY BIG Lashes. Not a lot of fiber, no volume at all.... the best job it does is separate the lashes very well and no clumpy. Since it's not waterproof I would not recommend applying on the lower lash, the PROs would be:

• it does not flake 
• very easier to remove ( I use Micellar Water on a daily basis)

Overall it gives a very natural looking effect but doesn't hold my Asian eyelash well... haha, moreover the brush is as big as my eyes and would get on my eyelid if I'm not careful. Worth trying, but not the best.

EGLIPS Chop Chop Lips Review

Hi all, here's a brief review of EGLIPS Chop Chop Lip (balm) in Tomato Paste and Berry Mix. I own this for almost a year++ and have been enjoying it. The colors are very saturated, can be applied sheer to create gradient lip or build it up for stronger color.

It is a very moisturizing product which is the reason why I love them. Berry Mix is more of a lightly fluorescent bright pink. very hard to pull this color off, so I would just apply in a dotting method and blend it out. Tomato Paste is very very pigmented and look super chic when applied full lips, on the other hand it looks very natural too when creating a natural gradient lip. Check out the lip swatch down below! Hope this helps in purchasing the product.

Formula wise it's not long lasting, glossy look and has no scent if you are skeptical of fragrance. But it does leave a tint even when after you had your meal, which I don't mind ^ W ^. Overall I'm happy with the lippies, it's balmy, pigmented and moisturizing, everything I want in a lip product. But sometimes I do hope Korean brand comes out with browny shade!

Karen Murrell Lipstick Review- Green Beauty

Hi all, I found out I haven't been doing any review recently... although I think no one really cares because the items I review are simply unheard/ under-rated Q w Q Anyways, it could at least served as a purpose of makeup diary. :3 

As you can see this lipstick is from my Project Pan, I'm trying to use up this lipstick last year, however, due to my dry lips and busy life, I don't have the time to prep my lip properly every time. Let alone using it everyday haha...

I have the color in Violet Mousse. The color is very similar to my lip but slightly pinker, it's like a nudie pink, MLBB. It pretty much would suit yellow-Asian skin tone :) Suitable for work and everyday use too.

It's a formula between the sheer and matt, it will glide on perfect during warmer weather but not winter.

The formula is not long lasting but I'm fine with that. Usually I will apply lip balm then the lipstick to prevent mt lip lines being exposed terribly. The product itself has a cinnamon scent which I'm a huge fan of. It's a plus that no harmful ingredient is used as their motto goes: nothing nasty touch my lips!

Will I repurchase? No.
I'm happy with the product overall, but definitely prefer something more moisturizing.
