Just got back from Batu Pahat for a short getaway. Even though i have not found a job doesn;t mean i can't go on a holiday. Bought nothing there except for some shorts and Maybelline Gel Eyeliner and FOOD!!

Been wanting to try the gel eyeliner from their brand but then it's a bit selling too ex here. So when i when in on saturday, my uncle stop us at Carrefour then we went to shop for our own stuffs. Went to search for this product. Cost 39.90RM, when convert it's ard S$16 or S$17. So it's like a few dollars cheaper there. Wanted to buy other stuffs like foundation and eyeshadow, but scared that we might not have enough $$ to buy food. So i have to curb myself of not buying.

I love the texture of the gel liner, very creamy and dark. Oh, i bought it in black, i din manage to find other colors. If i'm going in malaysia again i might buy brown and other cosmetics. I've tried the eyeliner and it's very easy to apply on. A few strokes and the black shows up really well. I love the brush that came with it also. So cute and easy to use.

If you have finished using the pot of eyeliner, dun throw away the brush. Just wash and clean it and you can use as a lipstick brush. The pot also can wash it and keep it, in case any mini things like earstuds you also can keep it inside for easy storage.

The gel liner can use for a very long time, i think i need not buy any eyeliner for a year or so. MIGHT be going in to JB soon. Hope there's more cheaper clothes and cosmetics for me to see see look look and buy!!!

I'm here to update again. Will be updating on some cosmetics review that i bought some time ago.

1) Gel Eyeliner in Warm Bronze and Navy Blue.
Bought this from a blogshop for 10 bucks w/o postage fee. I like that texture of the eyeliner, very soft. But the gel clumps up too easily and dries out very fast when you just apply. The warm bronze color doesn't really show up well on the lids unless you really apply lots of layer, but the shimmer does brings out your eyes. As for the navy blue, when you apply, the color just shows up immediately, what you see is what you get. The gel eyeliner came with a free eyeliner brush. But is those kind of sponge tip and it's kinda hard. When i apply the eyeliner using the brush, my lids are practically rubbing against it. So i normally only use my own brush. But overall the product is great.


2) In2it 2-way foundation extra cover
This product is great!! It's waterproof (i've tested it). But i'm sure is this product really oil control or not. The sad thing is this product no longer sell in Watsons i think. I bought this last year if i remember. And they have a free refill also. But i seldom use powder foundation cuz they dries up my face real fast. So i only use it when i need some fast action to make myself presentable.


3) Shills BB cream SPF 30
My friends bought this for me last year. They only have one color. And it's too light for me cuz i'm quite tanned. So i only used this as a concealer. The coverage is not that great, can't conceal my acne scars, but it does moisturize my face. It's also has some mild fragrance to it. Dun really recommend this product though.


4) THEFACESHOP Touch&Shine dual eye color in silver&navy
Totally in love with this. Creases a little but not much. The silver is eyeshadow and the navy is eyeliner, but you can also use it as eyeshadow. The navy color totally matches my gel eyeliner. The texture is very soft and can be drawn on lids very easily. The silver is very light, can't really see it unless there's light shining on it. It gives off shimmers. Totally great for nightclubbing. BUT!!!!! It smudges very very very easily. When your face oil starts to come out, the eyeliner smudges without hesitation. So have to touch up frequently.


5) Daiso's color makeup base in green and white
Though it's very cheap, but i regret wasting my $4 on these. They say green can help cover redness on faces, but i dun really see the results. And the texture of the base is not that good also. I squeezed out a little and spread, the whole base could not stay on the skin. I might try faceshop's base someday.

Update till here. Stay tune for my post on food!!!!!

What i bought yesterday from watsons.



They are having some sale right now for some cosmetics. Bought ZA true white lotion. Helps to diminish acne scar and blemishes. I din buy the whole range cuz i'm not into getting myself fair. I LOVE THE SUN!!! Just that i have serious acne scars on my cheeks. Been using this lotion for a year. Works well on me i must say. Previously i used Garnier Pure A facial wash to cleanse my face and use this as a toner. But because i very dry and sensitive skin, whenever i use products with scrubs, my face becomes red. Like patrick from spongebob. So now i'm using a mild cleanser, Cetaphil. Works pretty well with the lotion. Although you can't see fast results as compared to using Pure A + lotion. But after using the combination for a month now, my scars really lightens a bit. Not as red as before.

And my first ever lipstick from Maybelline. Water shine in B22. Nude color range, but can't see in picture and i haven really try the product yet. But i love the color, doesn't seems too dark or bright for me.


And i just how lip is impt to ladies. Chapped dry lips doesn't appeal to ppl be it male or female. Makes you look sick and i think your other half won't want to kiss you. And cuz i have dry lips, i use warm water to pat on my lips and use fourth finger or towel to slowly rub away the dead skin on the lips. After that i quickly use lip balm and done. But i got another method is after clearing dead skin and slap some balm on lips, some do use plastic wraps (保鲜膜), cut it to squares that can cover your lips and put it there for like a few minutes. After that remove the plastic and apply some balm. Tadah!!! your lip will be boing boing and soft. But i'm not sure whether this works or not though. But you can try.

What lip balms i use are these.


The one from bodyshop is a tad too flavoured and sticky for me. But i only use it when my lip are really calling for help.

I personally do recommend the balm from Vaseline. As you know they are famous for treating dry, chapped lips. And the flavour is really light and not sticky. My first choice. And can really makes your lips moisturize from day to night.

The lip balm from mentholatum, not bad i say. But when i use this, my lips gets drier even more easily and i must keep touching up on my lips. I bit too lazy. So ya.

Last one is a very long ago lip balm cum gloss. I dunno when i bought this. I think very long already, but i seldom use. Too sticky but glossy. I dun like too glossy lip and this too, makes your lips dry faster than normal. And i think you can't find it anywhere i suppose. I bought these when i was Sec 4 or 5. OMG!! 5 years since i left my school. Gonna throw it away soon.

OKay, update till here. More will come soon. Going to cook today, stay tune to this blog for new healthy recipes.
