[MAKE UP - EYES] Sephora Flashy Liner Waterproof

«« (2.5 OUT OF 5)


Okay. I'll be very short with it.
It has a beautiful color and glitters making my eye s pop but it smudges all over my upper eye lids.
Sorry, I've seen better and it's not the best color eyeliner.

*I took this picture right after I applied it after 10min it smudges all over.

[MAKE UP - FACE] CoverGirl TruBlend Liquid Foundation

«««« (4 out of 5)
very smooth and moisturizing
good coverage but doesn't stay whole day
smell can be improved better


 Okay, let's not look down on this product because of the cheap packaging of CoverGirl TruBlend Liquid Foundation. 

It was a pleasant surprise for me when I first tried it. It feels very light and the color looks very natural even though I feel I should have chosen one darker color. Choose one lighter color.
Above all, it has a great coverage!!! Trust me, my skin tone has not been a source of pride for me.

It applies very smoothly and it feels very moisturizing. but unfortunately it wouldn't stay on a whole day.  You might want to reapply the product with powder type product later of a day.

[FACE] Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes vs. Garnier Makeup Remover Wipes Review

«««« (4.5 out of 5)
First time using it, I love it.
It feels very moisturizing and smells great.
And of course it cleans up tough make ups like waterproof mascara and gel eye liner.


«««« (4 out of 5)
I've used it for about 6 months and it woks great.
It cleans up tough make ups just like Garnier but it feels less moisturizing and the wipes feel tougher than  Garnier.

Okay guys, I will not have a photo review since it's makeup remover review.

First of all I have to tell you, I prefer wipes than any other make up remover products because it really cleans your tough make ups. It takes to forever to erase my water proof eye liner and water proof mascara with cleansing lotion or with cleansing foam. etc. 

Both does the job well. They are highly effective and the size of the one sheet is enough for a whole face. 

But I like  Garnier's  better because it feels much more soothing  and moisturizing. It has a light sent but not too much. And  it was on sales so it was $3 cheaper than Neutrogena's.

I think they're both good. Choose the cheaper one among two if you can find it. It they're the same price I would go with Garnier
Here's the winner. :-)

*I recommend to all of you to wash your face after use wipes.

[MAKE UP - EYES] SMASH BOX Jet Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner

«« (2.5 out of 5)
Waterproof, smudge-proof eye liner.
Extremely hard to apply it...:-(

Okay. I was trying to find a perfect gel type eye liner.
For me. non smudging is the biggest factor when I get any type of eye liner. So I thought this is a great product but it wasn't.

But don't get me wrong. It does what it's supposed to do; waterproof, smudge-proof. It's just damn hard to apply it. and It flakes... flakes.... flakes... 

It was a big disappointment. For $24, maybe I expected too much... sigh...

[MAKE UP - EYES] CoverGirl Lash Blast Fusion Volume + Length Mascara Very Black

«««« (4 out of 5)
Great mascara for $8
Long lasting and non smudge-able
Great for volumizing but not sure about lengthening.

Not all Asian ladies have short eye lashes but I do... For me it's very frustrating to put on mascara because first, it's very hard to apply to my extremely short lashes and even though I successfully applied it, it smudges all over my upper eye lids and under my eyes. 

Very depressing :-(

BUT I had a great success with this Covergirl mascara. I was very surprised by this product because  I used many expensive mascaras, hoping to have a long lasting effect without smudging, such as Estee Lauder, Sephora, Clinique, Lancome and so on but so far this is the best mascara in terms of long lasting and non smudging. 

It lengths my lashes very little but I definitely volumize them. 
Very happy that I found  a great product!!! Highly recommend.

[MAKE UP-LIPS] Sephora Collection Lip Attitude - Star Impertinent Nude 24

* This is not the color that I bought.
«««« (4 out of 5)
The color(Impertinent Nude 24) looks so beautiful!
Glossy, smooth, shimmery and fabulous!!!

I was very nervous of ordering it without trying it on! But I was looking for this color(nude and kind of beige color) for a long long time. If I don't like it, I can return it anyway so I ordered it.

I love it love it love it!

The color looks so chic and vibrant, unlike other beige lipsticks that usually make me look like a sick person. lol This is very glossy and it has a hint of pink color that makes my lips more shiny when I'm in the sunlight or in the bright light.


I highly recommend it to someone who looks for chic and vibrant beige color lipstick.


*foundation and lipstick applied. no photoshop.

[MAKE UP - FACE] Precious Mineral BB Cream SPF30 from Etude House.

n  
««««(4 out of 5)
Very light yet great coverage.
Doesn't dry up skin.
Doesn't stay on whole day.


Sorry US residents...! You can not find 'Etude House' cosmetic store in the United States but you still can get it from amazon.com.

This is a great tint lotion-so called BB Cream. Ir's very easy to use it and it doesn't feel heavy on your skin so it's great for summer time! You can use your fingers to apply it but it's better to use it with a foundation brush.

Finishing it with powder looks very natural yet it has a  great coverage.

My only complain is that it doesn't stay on a whole day and I wouldn't recommend to someone who has a very oily skin. 

Overall it's a great substitute for a heavy foundation.
