1st Haul of 2013

Happy New Year! It's my new year haul today. It's been quite a while since I do my last haul. Since I grow older and my career don't allow me to wear funky makeup anymore. Everything here seem to be office friendly, neutral makeup.

From NYX I got...
NYX soft matte lip cream #Milan and #Amsterdam ( they're super long lasting and don't leave stain on glass nor everybody's else cheeks which is what I like, but make sure you moisturize lips well, cuz it may feel a little too drying)

NYX mega shine lip gloss #beige it's the most beautiful lipgloss I ever found, pink but still look natural

NYX matte lipstick #perfect red
It's really a perfect red for me, blue-based-red, so classic, so elegant, feel very comfortable on the lips

NYX powder blush #muave
this is a more brownish peach shade look like you have naturally burnt by the sun, it's also long lasting.


Overall I really happy with my NYX purchase.

On to Revlon

Revlon Colorstay Foundation for oily/combination skin #golden beige everybody rave about this as their HG foundation, I have to say it live up the hype, long lasating and full cover.

Revlon nail color #classy and base coat for me Revlon make the best nail polish of all drugstore brand. I also got #Grey suede later which is a bit like Tickle my Francey.

And last thing from Revlon is their eyebrow liner (since I'm out of my old eyebrow liner last week so I decided to try this one, the shade seem natural looking on me)


The balm Balm-Jovi palette (this is the most perfect palette I ever come across, I heard good things about the mary-lou-manizer and frat boy which are included in this palette! And all the eyeshadow, lips are in shades that I could use in my daily life. So yay! For this palette)

Maybelline clear smooth mineral make up review

I've tried some product from maybelline clear smooth mineral make up line for quite a while now. And I'm pleased with them. I'm not sure if these product are available outside Asia because I don't see much reviews about them.



I'm gonna start with Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream SPF 26 PA+++
everybody must have heard about BB cream like? I'm one of those girls who has been so crazy about BB cream.
Because I don't use foundation(in everyday make up routine). I need someting more subtle than foundation but still work well to over some dark spots and redness on my face and the most important thing is the oil control property so BB cream is an answer. But most BB cream from korean brand are so bad at oil controlling I ended up sold or gie them away. But for Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream SPF 26 PA+++. It answer all my needs with a super cheap price plus a sunscreen property. How could I resist not to fall in love with this product. No way! I've fall deeply in love.

Next, Clear Smooth Minerals Healthy Natural Concealer, I got it in medium which fit my skintine se well.
It's oil controll, medium coverage and doesn't break me out. It also work well to cover redness around my nose and my dark circles around the eyes. a dirt cheap concealor with great quality.

Another one is Maybelline Clear Smooth Mineral Healthy Cover Powder Foundation I got this one in OC01 Light OCRE which turn out to be far too yellow for my skintone and when apply on face it give a sheer coverage which isn't enough to cover any redness. At the end of the day I found it look very cakey on my face..not a good product. I'm finding a way to finish it.



And my new favourite cheek blushes with a super cheap price. Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine-Free Blush.
They offer in 4 shades; Fresh Berry, Fresh Appricot, Fresh Rose, Fresh Coral. And I've got 3 of them. Now you can tell how crazy I am to this blushes. They're amazing! Very pigmented, very long lasting, very cute color. They give me a very healthy flush. I don't have any Nars blush but for me These Maybelline blushes seem as great with a very low price.

Smashbox Blush in Radiance

My new make up item this month is a shocking pink blush with shocking color!

Smashbox Blush #Radiance

From the outside it is a shocking pure pink color with a blue undertone.

But when apply on cheeks...it look amazing!

It really makes my cheek look Radiance.
with a pink lovely flush as if you got a cold.

Plus it last all day.

I'm so in love with this blush right now.

So Lovely:-)
