New Specs!

After a number of years, I finally got my new specs.  There was a promotion at MOG and I landed myself a pair of trendy specs for the price of RM299.  I would say that the price is pretty decent, given all my previous ones tend to be more than RM300.  Honestly, I do seriously wonder if the price of specs are to be so expensive, because majority are made out of plastics, no matter how long lasting they could be.  But then again, I don't have a choice but continue to wear specs and contact lens given my eyesight is pretty bad.  Oh well, maybe there will be a day where I would save enough for LASIK eh?  =D

I love my new specs!

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer

I've always been trying to get a good pencil eye liner that wouldn't run and make me look like a panda everytime I use it, however it is quite tough.  

Nonetheless, during one of my escapades, or my shopping trip, I was simply caught by this eyeliner by Rimmel.  The name is called Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer.

"Exaggerate" in capital letters!

Here's what I like about it:

It's creamy in texture.  Reminds me of crayon, although it's not as hard as crayons.  It does glide easily on my eye and it's really black!  I like that cause I don't have to keep lining my eyes just to make sure it's dark.  However, because it's creamy, if I do line my eyes a few times, it makes me feel like there's a chunk of things on my eye lid.  I try to minimise the number of lining by using a eye liner brush.  It works to ensure that the color is deposited nicely and evenly.  

The left side is only one layer whereas the right side is 2 layers.  If you look to build it up, this is quite a good black eyeliner.

However, much to my chagrine, it often makes me look like a panda. Sigh, once again, the smudges are much stronger than I wish it to be.  I don't doubt that it's the eyeliner's fault, as much as it is my own oily lids' issue here.  Because it is really black (I love the black!) it literally made my eyes look bad with all its smudging.  I look like a sick person most of the time.

I'm trying to use it all up by making sure I put layers of eye base/ powder, yada yada... but looking at it, it might take a smite longer than I intend to.

Oh well, no re-purchase for me on this, and not recommended to those who has oily eye lids like me too! 

Elisha Coy Nudy BB Cream

I got this sample from a colleague who started distributing a number of packets of it to all the female colleagues. I've seen this brand around but never did pay much attention it.  Well, since it's free, one ought to give it a try eh? hehe..

I have to say that this is one of the loveliest BB cream I've ever used.

One of the best thing about it is the texture.  It is not too runny or too thick.  I find that its texture is just at the right level, making it easy to apply onto my skin.  In terms of coverage, it is just right.  I won't say it can cover everything (I doubt anything can do that unless you make sure you put concealer), but it does cover the blemishes and redness.  It also even up the skin well.  I think the best part is, once applied, it gives the skin a natural glow and you don't look as though you've piled a lot of things onto your skin.  I like!

In terms of oil control, I think it works fairly well.  It can last for around 6 hours and only the T-zone looks slightly oiler (that's partly due to my oily T-zone).  I do dust a bit of powder once I've applied it for oil control purpose ya.

It is definitely one of the item that I frequently reach out to.  Like I said, this is a sample that I got and I have no idea where I can get my hands on it.  If I could, I will definitely make a dash and go buy one.  Right now, in order not to finish it too soon, I actually alternate it with some other BB creams.  Well, desperate moments requires some desperate action from my end... hehe

Stage Photo Pro Creme Camouflage

For some strange reasons I only tend to venture to Stage when they are having promotion. And best part is, most of the time I do end up visiting them is when they are having sale but I don't know about it!  

During one of those ventures, I ended up purchasing Stage's Photo Pro Creme Camouflage.  To be honest, I had no intention of getting a concealer because I rarely used them.  However, the MUA was so good in promoting the item to me and showing me how to use it and I ended up buying it.  Then again, it didn't burn a hole in my pocket because they were selling it at RM18 at that time.  Score!

 Love the sleek looking packaging!

 I got 04 Buff for my skin

I quite like this concealer.  It's my first cream concealer and I have to say that it works well.  

In terms of coverage, it does well to cover some of my acne scars as well as some redness here and there. I like to use this for my dark circles though.  It doesn't cake around my eyes and once applied, it makes me look fresher.  This is good because I do tend to look tired with the dark circles around my eyes.

Another thing that I like this is because of its creamy texture, allowing me the ease to blend it.  It's not too thick either so it's easily worked onto my skin.

One note to using a concealer.  Please make sure you blend it well so that it doesn't look patchy on your skin.  There are times where I only dust some light powder over my face after the concealer and it makes my make up looks simple and nature.
