Style Icon: Brigitte Bardot

I can't believe I do 2 blog posts in a 2 day row!

So this time I'm telling you about my style icon at the moment ( well, atleast for the makeup), Brigitte Bardot.

Her beauty never go out of style. I love her wing eyeliner, her peachy pouty lips, her blondey and voluminous hair. Her flawless velvet skin.

She's sexy without trying.

I love her style!

Review: Etude House Precious Mineral All Day Strong BB Cream #3 sheer flawless skin

I've always been a tinted moisturizer and BB cream person than a foundation maniac. Since my overall skin is in quite a good condition. I have some acne scaring sometimes but that the concealer job, right?

This time I'm doing a review on Etude House Precious Mineral All Day Strong BB Cream #3 sheer flawless skin. I'm not sure about the different in 3 shades. Since some say that 1 is the lightest and 3 is the darkest, but the product description say #1 Sheer Silky Skin, #2 Sheer Glowing Skin, #3 Sheer Flawless Skin.

So I guess the formulation may be varies among all 3 shades too.

What it is: Precious Mineral BB Cream promotes silky complexion and brightened look with pearl infused sheer coverage. Improved SPF protection with a hypoallergenic and oil-free formula.

My Experience: This BB cream give almost a full coverage. It's much more than I'd expect from a BB cream to be. I don't even need concealor when using this. The texure is quite runny and very easy to blend.  But after a few minutes it look cakey on my oily-combination skin. I need to touch up twice during the day which is uncool. Since I tend to be super busy all day that I don't even have time for touch up.

One thing I notice after using this for a while, it clog my pores badly. I got more and more spot eveytime I use it.

Overall it's a good BB cream for dry skin or winter season when your skin turn toward dryer side.

It's very easy to apply. give good coverage. But I'd not buying this again. It's just not for my oily- combination skin. And since it clog my pores badly I ended up give it away.

Review: Benefit That Gal Brightening Face Primer

I've been primer and foundation mania recently. I try quite a bit of face products.
Now It's time for me to do a review on "Benefit That Gal". Well, this has been out on the marget for a very long time but I thought this wouldn't worked for me since I have oily skin and I always stick with "Oil-controlled" product.

What it is: Its a silky pink primer that makes skin appear smoother and brighter. Wear alone for clear complexion radiance or apply before makeup for smooth, effortless application. Re-brighten during the day with that gal. It's "that gal" perfection for a happy complexion.

My Experience: It's a pink color makeup base that does really help brighten my complexion. I love how it smell too, light floral scent. It apply smoothly and doesn't leave any greasy feeling. 

Even through it doesn't claim oil-controll effect but I found it help my makeup last longer.
I still look fresh at the end of the day. Overall I'm impressed with this product and would consider buying this again in the future. 

The only down side I found is it doesn't contain sunscreen effect which is my everyday essential, so I have to apply sunscreen after applying this primer.

My Skincare Routine in Air-conditioned room

Due to global warming and climate change,  I have to live my life in air-conditioned room. And It cause my skin so much dryness. I used to have quite oily-combination skin. Now my skin is dry and flaky. Here's what I do to keep my skin as healthy as possible.

For face I use: 

• Biore cleansing milk (my HG cleanser)
• Aveeno Positively Ageless Daily Exfoliating Cleanser (perfect for dry skin, my skin feel smooth after use)
• Olay White radiance serum (not moisturizing enough but I feel my skin has whiten a bit after half bottle gone) 
• Skinfood facial water vita-c cream (perfect for combination skin, enough moisturizing doesn't leave skin oily)

For eyes I use

• Clinique All About Eye Rich (great for aging and dryness around eyes area, love this)

For Body I use:

• Yves Rocher Pur Desir de Pivoine Perfumed Body Lotion ( leave a dewy finish to skin with out any glitter, smell so nice)
• Yves Rocher Pur Desir de Pivoine Shower Gel (still leave some moisture on my skin, smell nice)
• Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub (smell yummy, get all the flake away)

Review: ZA TOTAL HYDRATION BB CREAM UV. SPF43 PA+++

What it is: Multi-functional ”12 in 1”BB CREAM that achieves healthy glowing look. With special skincare mineral formula, it not only moisturizes skin but also works as foundation to conceal skin problems to achieve a healthy skin tone.

My  Experience: Since I have oily-combination skin and I live in climate area. I try to stay away from product that say "Hydration" and "Glowing" as far as I can. And this time apparently I made a mistake. I should have stayed away. This BB cream give you all that it claim to be hydrating and give you a glowing finish when mix in with my oily skin give the result of  oil-slicked effect on my face after only half an hour. About good part the formulation is nice, creamy and very easy to apply. It give a medium coverage and still look like you naturally have great skin which I like.So this is  definitely not for all oily skinned girls out there. If you have dry skin or you love glowing, dewy finish. I'm sure you'll love this product.

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)

My Winter 2012 Skincare Routine

Surprisingly Thailand has got winter, even through it's not snowing but weather gets dryer and a little colder like 15-20 celsius degree. My skin gets dry and patchy during this time of the year. It's time to change skincare routine again.

1.) I clean my makeup using Boots botanic skin brightening cleanser ( it's thick and moisturizing and smell nice)
2.) I wash my face with Ipsa cleansing smooth foam ( leave a smooth soft skin, nice orange scent)
3.) In morning, I use Boots time-delay post micro-dermabrasion facialmoisturizer spf15 ( I'm so in love with this, it's moisturizing and leave my skin so soft and nice, non-greasy) Then, I apply my makeup.
4.) in evening, after washed my face I use Rose Hip oil apply all over my face including eye area ( I wake up with nice smooth skin every morning, It's a miracle product to all dry-skin girls)
5.) I use Clinique all about eye rich as eye cream since my good old Kiel's avocado eye cream is not moisturizing enough.
6.) Sometimes when I need to exfoliate I use Boots time-delay micro-dermabrasion facial exfoliator ( this's quite harsh to the skin so make sure you only use it once a week, but it does clarified skin well)
7.) For lips, I use the face shop Plus 1 lip care cream - shea butter ( It's the most moisturing lip balm in the whole world, no chap lips here)

That's it for my skincare routine, everthing seem to come in small size here since normally I have oily-combination skin so most of the time these products are too much, too oily for me.
