Review : Maybelline CC cream

So this just came out a few days ago and I was like why not give it a try? So I did.
It's Maybelline's new pure mineral CC cream (Core & Correct). I think one thing I love about CC creams is that it's an all in one. It's kind of a foundation, concealer, and SPF, and as I mentioned before a great product for someone in a hurry to go out, lazy like me or if you live in a very very hot place like me again.
You put on one layer, kind of like the BB cream, but it's everything. It's very light if you ask me, well since it's one layer, but it works well. The Maybelline CC cream is pretty nice cause it doesn't make my face feel very heavy or oily after applying, and it remains fresh throughout the whole day. The only thing I dislike about this product is that it's white when you squeeze it out, and gradually turns into a brownish shade. I have a darker skin tone so if I don't blend it out well or if I miss a part it becomes obvious on my face.

Review : Lancôme CILS BOOSTER XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Base

Hm so I quite like this haha <3
Well I don't know if it's because I'm Asian but I have super short eyelashes and plus they are nowhere  near thick so I use this booster to make my eyelashes longer and thicker before I appy mascara.
It's white when you first apply on to your lashes. After that I apply mascara on and it makes my lashes look thicker and longer. But even with this I still wear like 2 or 3 layers of mascara since my lashes are so short.
To be honest I can't live without these on my lashes it's a bit pricy but I think it's way cheaper then fake lashes and constantly keeps my lashes looking wonderful :)

Review : Batiste Dry Shampoo

 

 

 

 

I can't believe I've never tried this!! It's absolutely amazing!!

After using the product it feels like I just got out of the shower and dried my hair.

I used to be the type of person that washed my hair everyday, and I didn't think I would need such a product. But I'm almost done with my first can and I'm sure I'll go for a second one.

It comes in different scents and different sizes, the smaller ones are really convenient you can just put one in your purse and if your hair get's oily throughout the day it's right there to fix it!

The product is white powder, I have to brush my hair thoroughly to let the white fade since I have really dark hair. But overall this has just been a lifesaver and I don't have to worry about not having time in the morning when I sleep in.



Review : The NARSissist Cheek Kit

The NARSissist Cheek kit includes three cheek products– a limited edition shimmery peachy pink highlighter, orgasm blush, and laguna bronzer.

I think the biggest plus side for this kit is that it's very small about the size of an iphone, it's a great travel size. The product size is a bit small though if you have it for a everyday use.

The product is pretty good it has good pigmentation. The highlighter is really lovely I wish they sold this separately. If you already have full sized laguna bronzer & Orgasm blush then I would suggest not to buy this palette.

Review : CLINIQUE Even Better Essence Lotion for Combination Oily to Oily

This is the Clinique even better essence lotion for skin type 3,4 which is for more oily skin types. The product also comes in 1,2 for very dry skin types.
I went for skin type 3,4 since I have a more oily skin type.

This product targets 3 corrections hydrate, brighten and calm. It's gel like and has a light texture. It leaves your skin feeling soft and comfortable, it's easy to use and doesn't make your skin feel sticky. The product really did hydrate my skin leaving it feeling really nice.

Overall I would say the product is really good but I wouldn't say I would buy it the next time I see it because I already have too many products part of my skin care routine.

May Favorites

It's only mid May but there are so many things i'm loving this month so I decided to make my May favorites already (:

1. Kate Spade Thermal Mug  (18$)

I just love the color of this. My favorite color is red and the caption is cute. It's sealed really tight so it doesn't spill from the edges and it's just convenient and adds color to me when I hold it.

 

2. L'Oreal Paris Color : Smell the Roses (5.99$)

It's a very rich color like the brand advertises, it's a perfect color for spring and summer. And the color looks good with any skin tone. I've been using this color for the past 3 weeks altering with dozen of roses.

3. L'Oreal Paris Color : Dozen red Roses (5.99$)

 

It's also a very rich color, more vibrant and fresh looking.

 

4. Garnier Duo Clean Whitening + Oil control (12$)

 

This I just love the feeling of it after I wash my face, I use everyday.

Link below is the review I wrote on it before

5&6. 1028 brush and CC cream ( around 25$ for both)

 

These I love also I use everyday. The brush is super soft, I think any type of skin would be able to use it. The CC cream too is for any color skin type it's just really easy to apply and very fast.

7. Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye shadow collection (36$)

 

It contains 9 neutral shades and a how-to guide to help you achieved the looks. It's a small palette very portable. The colors are super nice, very pigmented and long lasting. It's very competitive to the Urban Decay Naked basic. I also love that it is an everyday use palette, would highly recommend people to buy this palette. Review thumbs up a 5/5.

 

8. Marc by Marc Jacobs Dynamite Metal Eye studs (55$)

 

I fell in love with these the moment I saw them and HAD to have them. They are super cute and fun looking adds an edge to any outfit you are wearing.

 

9. Illume Desert Tulip scent (14$)

 

It's a really light flower scent. I'm very picky with scents but I think this scent smells really wonderful that I got the same scent of hand cream with it. The packaging is also super pretty and colorful and reminds me of spring and summer.

10. Britney Spears : Perfume
 

I've been listening to this song everyday and I'm still not sick of it. I guess it's the lyrics, something that every person who's ever been a relationship can sort of relate to. 

 

 

All the prices may vary from different places, but most of the items are all super affordable :)

Review : Taiwan 1028 CC cream

Recently I've been using the CC cream from 1028. It's the perfect product for someone lazy like me, if you don't want to waste too much time doing make up or in a hurry.
It's an all-in-one skincare, moisturizer, ( SPF50 ), whitening and anti-aging properties. And most of all it's easy to buy since you don't have to spend time matching your skin tone, it only comes in one color and matches everyone (color correcting cream).
This cc cream has a foundation like coverage and can hide a lot of your pores but at the same time feels like you're wearing something very light.

You can buy the cc cream and the brush in a set,  so far this is one of my favorite brushes too. the brush tip is made oblicuo so it's easy to brush on your face, also it's super soft it works with sensitive skin too.

Price is around 25$ for both (may vary in different stores)

Review : Garnier Duo clean

 

 

 

Garnier Duo clean comes in with two kinds of different effects.

Whitening + Oil control (Blue) Whitening + Oil pore Minimizing (Black)

Both makes your skin feel relly refreshed after using it's a great product for summer. The duo clean squeezes out in two colors (white+blue) (white+black), the foam is very dense and your face feels moisturized after using. The pore minimizing one I use it about twice a week and it's very useful for blackhead removal too and leaves your face very clean. The blue one I use almost everyday. Both are now my favorites for face cleaning products. Especially after you remove your makeup, using the Garnier duo clean makes your face all soft and moist great before going to bed. Overall I give it both 5/5 although if to buy one i would prefer the blue one.

Price is around 12$ it may vary in different stores
