Binnings for the Last 3 Months

Been ages since I've done this.  I'm growing ever more in my binnings and I'm quite happy about it.  I'm currently on cosmetic shopping ban and will be so till June this year.  Trust me, I have ample of things to blog about with my huge collection of skincare and cosmetics that's about to spill out from my cupboard.

*Sorry about the pic, had to rely on my iPhone for now as there's some issue with my camera's SD card.  It looks like it's time for me to buy a new one @.@

Here's the items:

• Body Shop Liquid Eyeliner: This was my very first liquid eyeliner gifted to me by a friend.  I like it cause it doesn't smear and it stayed on my eyelids for the longest time.  However, after a few months, it was giving me a bit of a weird feeling, where my eyelids seemed heavy when I have it on.  I stopped using it for a while now but somehow in all my binnings, this seemed to be hidden well till now.
• SiklyGirl Duo Eye Shadow 10 Gold Emerald: Again, another one of my very first beauty purchase.  I remember buying this as I was wanting to try putting on make up for a wedding dinner.  Works well, but because of my oily eyelids, the colors fades off quite quickly.  This was chucked aside and I stopped using it.  Time for me to say goodbye to it now.

(crazy it seems, I'm chucking them one by one as I'm writing this post =D)

•  ianti Luxe Jewelry Pact Powder (Dark Beige): Oh, the horror! I just realised that I've never blogged about this pact powder.  Lovely item for it's price (less than Rm20 if I remember correctly).  I was quite taken aback when I first tried it because the SA recommended me Dark Beige.  I'm actually quite fair and so usually I go for something lighter.  However, the colour matches my skin well and it works well as a foundation powder.  I tend to reach out for it because I'm lazy like that =P.  I'm not sure if ianti is still around because I don't really see it anywhere.  The branch in Times Square which I used to frequent has closed down since last year.  
• ianti Luxe Jewelry Blusher (#04 - Sexy Pink):  What can I say, love the colour and the softness of it when applied on my cheeks.  Downside of this is, the colour fades off rather quickly, around 2 hours.  I had to throw it away because the packaging was plastic and the cover broke.  
• Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Instant Skin Perfecting Cream with Micro-Minerals (BB cream): Man, what a mouthful.
• L'oreal Derma Genesis  Cellular-Youth Creator Pore Minimising Smoother Gel Cream: There goes another one.
• b.liv by cellniq Off with Those Heads Pro Sebum Gel: This took me forever to finish because I slack in between wayyy too much.  However, it still works well even though I stopped using it  for a period of time. 
• Etude Sun Guard Natural Covering Color Case SPF 42
• Skin79 The Oriental Gold BB Cream and Super + Beblesh Balm Trip Function: Lovely when applied on the skin but it's quite thick.  Does get oily after about 6 hours.  Nonetheless, the skin continue to look good after blotting.  It's said to have whitening effect but I could not see any effects from using it.  I tend to use my BB Cream as foundation and not on its own.
• Empro Diamond Black Eyeliner
• Vaseline Healthy Sunblock: Am now using my second one!  
• Etude House Collagen Moistfull Emulson: Nice on the skin.  Not sure of its efficacy as this is just a test tube.  Wish the bottle would be made in a way where it's easier to be poured out as the liquid is slightly thicker than water and tends to bunch (can they do that?) at the top.  I had to tap it onto my palm for the liquid to come out (sometimes it gushes out and I would end up having too much).  Then again, this is a free sample.

Biotherm Biosource Hydra-Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse

Biotherm Biosource Hydra-Mineral Cleanser Toning Mousse is by far one of favourite facial wash.  This is one facial wash that I catch myself reaching out for most of the time (I do rotate and have different kind of facial wash on standby for different days' needs =D)  The name is definitely a mouthful eh?  Let's refer to it as the Biotherm Toning  Mousse  .

Packaging wise, I love the green.  It feels refreshing in a gentle way, if you know what I mean.  However, I do find that it can be quite hard to read the words (and even tougher when snapping pictures of it!)  It comes in a tube form and I do find that the tube itself is quite sturdy.  The cap too, is pretty reliable and doesn't open easily.  Once the click is in place, you don't have to worry about it popping up and opening itself easily.

Although it is called a mousse, it doesn't exactly feel like one. However, it does foam well and that makes it easy to apply onto my face.  All I need was just a tiny little squeeze (smaller than pea size!) of the Biotherm Toning  Mousse  and rub my hands together to foam it.  Viola, nice and dandy to apply onto my skin.

I love the fact that it cleanses my skin well.  This Biotherm Toning  Mousse  does not leave my skin feeling tight after the wash, nor does it make me feel as tough I needed to wash my face another time.  The feeling is just right.  I believe this has to do with the fact that this Biotherm Toning  Mousse  is part of their hydrating series (which I definitely adore!)

I tend to grab their 50ml as this is my to-go facial for as and when usage when I'm out of the house.  I believe the regular size the 150ml.  Like I said, this is my favourite and I'm already using my 3rd tube =D  Definitely a re-purchase product for me.

Aquamoist Moisture Base

First and foremost, I have to apologise for neglecting my blog for so long.  It's been a crazy start of the year and it is still quite crazy.  I've decided that I'd better get started here lest I'll never blog anymore!  I'm hoping that things will go slow on me after these two months.

Now, into the main topic.  I bought this Aquamoist Moisture Base out of a whim because I couldn't resist the price.  This was purchased last year around May.  I think they were in the midst of preparing for  GSS and I happened to go to BHG in Bugis (another one of my fav hangout in SG).  I'm not entirely sure what's the price here in Malaysia, but it was going for SGD5.95!  Now tell me, how does one resist such good prices when you know the product ranges from 40 to 60 here in Malaysia?  I do wonder sometimes why we in Malaysia are paying for so much when things can get so cheap in our neighbouring country.

One of the very first thing that caught my eye is the simplicity of its packaging.  Yes, I'm a sucker for simplicity.  That's why I'm a fan of Muji! hehe... Anyhow, the packaging is simple and yet it stands out like a sore thumb.  Trust me, it wasn't easy to get a good picture of this item.  Too reflective =p

How does it fare?  I have to say that I love it.  It definitely helps to prep my skin before make up and because it's a moisture base, it keeps my skin, especially my cheeks are that tends to drier, to be supple.  It functions well as a protective layer of my skin before make up.  There are times when I feel that my skin seems to be oilier and I applied the Moisture Base without any moisturiser.  This was something that I learnt from Lisa Eldridge's video about primer.  I was practically drooling over the different primers and base that she was sharing in the video.  I do wish we have some of them here.  Ops, okay... coming back to the main topic.  I wish I could just go and grab it but honestly, in Malaysia, I do feel that this item is slightly pricey (yes, even though I do not know the price of it).  Who knows, maybe I should head down to SG this coming May or June to scout for it again?
