Benefit - Realness of Concealness

Benefit - Realness of Concealness

This palette is all about concealing. Conceal your blemish, ur dark circle and all those imperfect lines or pores or scars using only this small palette.

It has Boing, Lemon Aid, Lip Plump, High beam and Ooh La La.

These are very good combos and and since its pocket-sized makes it even easier for travel. Of all the combo in this palette, I love most in Lemon Aid and Boing. Boing is a damn good concealer. Not only it covers dark circle, it also helps to cover those acne scars. It blends nicely to the skin and it has this non drying effects, making it more like an enhancement to the liquid foundation that you are using.

I got this online from Lush & Rouge.

The best concealler in a pocket, I would call it.. I bring it with me in my small make up bag..

Boudoir Eyes palette

Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection

This new set of palette is from Too Faced. I kinda like the colour they have on this palette. They are very suitable for day to day use and very very versatile to be used on any occasion.

Try it.. No regrets!

Sephora Singapore

I used to remember that I have always went to the one at Ngee Ann City.. Love my shopping there and then they open up at Ion Orchard which is much bigger space but now, I dont really prefer to go there as it tends to be over crowded.

They have a few outlet now..

Ngee Ann City
Iluma (Opposite Bugis Junction)
Ion Orchard
Great World City
Marina Bay Sand

I love the fact that they have many brands under one wing and its so easy to get the things u need.. from lip gloss to skincare to perfumes...

Now if u ask me which is the best outlet for me, I love the ones @ Marina Bay Sands and Ngee Ann City. Why?

I love the fact that I can shop in peace... no hassle of crowds and I can get the staff's attention quicker and more reliant.

Comparing before and after, Sephora has improved so much.. I recalled , a few years back when Sephora first opened its first outlet, I get to see some of their staffs recommending me stuffs that made me go..." and the outcome is written on your face?"... shucks.. before I start to bitch further.. I think they have taken in more nicer and pleasant looking staffs to advise on beauty products.

Nonetheless,

Sephora is one place I would go looking for my beauty needs. . . .

Disappointed with Smoochiezz

Ever heard of Smoochiezz??

I came across them when they set up a booth just above Tanjong Pagar MRT station. They sell MAC, NYX and many other products at a reasonably cheap price. At first I doubt judging from the price tag.. then I purchase this MAC Studio Fix from them for only SGD$28.00. Retail stores are selling at SGD$40++ .

Used it for about a month now and I keep getting breakouts on my face. I kept thinking "could it be my moisturizer or my cleanser?" I changed my moisturizer and my cleanser and still the breakouts came back. I was using this Laura Mercier Foundation with my MAC powder. Used it before..(before, I purchase my MAC studio fix powder from MAC retail stores) and went fine until now..

I have never doubt the creditablity of Laura mercier. Most of the make up artist out there have sworn on Laura Mercier and having to used it for 3 years now, I believe in Laura Mercier myself. So I thought, could it be my powder?

Then I resort to a friend who happen to give me a link below and when I went thru it, OMG!!!!!!

http://smoochiezz.livejournal.com/676329.html

The MAC studio fix that I have purchase from Smoochiezz has this code .."B21" which actually means its A SECOND RUN ON FEB 2001!!!

WTH!!!

2001??? This is 2013!!!!!!

The powder was more than 10 years old.

My question was, " are they allowed to sell products which has already expires??"

I was totally disappointed with them.. To think they have a link to tell us how to see a fake MAC... well, better fake than expired, right???

I am super upset with this fact! And get this... I am not buying from Smoochiezz anymore.. I am not asking you people to boycott them but be wary of the products they sell. And if u ever came across their booth, better check WHEN is that product manufactured?

This is our face that we are talking about.. so be careful ya.. I dont bother to go to them and complaint about it cause for all we know, they will definitely deny it.. but I am seriously sure about this. From now on, I am heading to the MAC retail counters to purchase all my MAC products.

Pay PEANUTS and u get MONKEYS.. Yeah thats what u get buying from booth that claim they are parallel importers and not distributors.

To Smoochiezz, U have lost my trust on this and I will NEVER EVER purchase anything from you guys again..

Fine One One - Benefit

Fine One One - Benefit
Fine-one-one to the rescue! This sheer brightening cheek & lip color gives your look instant LIFT, SHAPE and POP. Glide on the three shades—pink champagne, sheer watermelon and soft coral—for a sheer coral pink flush that builds from soft & natural to bright & cheery.

My Verdict-
As we all know, Benefit is known for their one stop for all product. This Fine One One is both used for cheeks and lips. The winning point of this product was its coral colour. Which also meant for all to use. It gives that sheer and young fresh look for all.

Philosophy - Full of Promise

My latest moisturizer from Philosophy.

Got this at Sephora in Singapore. Was recommended to me as I needed something to lighten my skin tone..

Been using it for  more than a month now.. and I am quite satisfied with the outcome.. Recommended for those with combination skin.. It blend in easily to the skin and allow smooth primer or faoundation application..
