For almost 22 years of my life, I hardly wear foundation ever. 

I mean I do for weddings, special occasions but never on my usual makeup routine. 

The last foundation that I have purchased was Josie Maran's and the rest were freebies/samples of foundation but none of them seemed to suit my liking. 

But this, has changed my life. 

I'm not going to bore you with the whole description of 4K Camera that you could easily access from Sephora but this foundation is definitely worth the hype. I am pretty glad that they have given a sample of their primer since I have been wanting to try that, too. 

Firstly, I am a combination skin and I live in a humid country. So, I am in the shade of Y315 but I think the Sephora assistant should have given me Y305 as it will look more natural with my superb pale neck. Oh well. 

Foundation with a pump is what most brands should continue to do, in order to avoid bacteria transferring. 

Also, I suggest using a primer (I used Laura Mercier's) for it to go on your skin smoothly.

What I like about this foundation is that they are medium to full coverage depending on how many pumps you would like to go for your entire face. It's a watery consistency which allows you blend seamelessly without looking cakey and still provide that flawless look. The finish is somewhat satin matte which is great for not being too matte or dewy for my taste. Coverage wise, it managed to last on my face for 5-6 hours but since my nose gets oily easily, it tends to fade away pretty quick on that particular area. 

What I did not like about this foundation is the packaging, there is nothing luxurious about it. It, too, creates a white cast on my face when I tried flash photography. But since I am also using Nars Translucent setting powder, it will definitely create a white cast. Also, the price is not budget-friendly.

Indoor with Flash :

Verdict,

It definitely gives me a natural, flawless look whether I am indoor or outdoor. 

I tried applying it with both fingers and brushes technique but the brush definitely gave me a much more seamless finish as compare to fingers. 

The texture is definitely lightweight but at the same time, it was able to cover up my most of my redness and hyperpigmentation without a concealer. 

I would definitely recommend it if you are willing to splurge for the long run. 

But for humid weather, I highly suggest using a primer and setting powder in order for your makeup to stay longer.

Size : 30ml

Shades : Up to 40 shades, mines is Y315 (Yellow undertone - Medium skintone)

Repurchase? For the quality, yes. And only if I am able to afford.

Being a student, I realise that most of my allowance spent was mainly on food alone. Come to think of it, I could have used all the money that I spent on unnecessary junk food/desserts/pastries where I could have used it to purchase the makeup that I have been wanting for ages but let's just say I love food more than anything else.

Eyeko was originally a cheap drugstore mascara/eyeliner brand with cute packaging from U.K until then there's been a revamp and turned it into a high-end brand. I have heard so much good reviews of it but never gotten the opportunity to try until recently. Another reason to get them is because of Alexa Chung is somewhat the ambassador.

As soon as Sephora Malaysia announced they're bringing in Eyeko yesterday, I rushed my ass and got them the very day. They are only bringing in a few of it's Eyeko range so please don't put your hopes too high. Trust me, I wasn't surprised at all. 

The Eye Do eyeliner is somewhat amazing as it didn't smudges and I have to give a brownie star for it's packaging. The box and eyeliner itself was designed by Alexa so I do some similarities from her drawings in It book. Price wise, I find it quite moderate at RM59. Will blog in detail soon.

As for the Big Magic mascara, I find it one of the rarest occasions that I would instantly love while using it for the first time. The packaging comes in a tube form where you can squeeze to get the most use out of it. Come to think of it, I am quite blessed with long lashes so this was like a push-up mascara. With just one coat, I look like I am using falsies. Price wise, it is RM79 but it does justify the price. Will blog this in detail soon, too. 

While I was worried that both of these mascara and eyeliners are waterproof, I needed a waterproof eye makeup remover so I practically just snagged this Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover off the shelf and so far, it does the job pretty well for RM22. I would recommend this for whomever wants a eyeliner/mascara remover at an affordable price. 

Lastly, M.A.C's Matte lipstick in Kinda Sexy. If you have heard of M.A.C's Alluring Aquatic limited edition lipstick called Enchanted One, it was sold out! So I sort of settled with Kinda Sexy. The color is nude-brown and I am so glad to find a lipstick that does the au natural look. Texture may be matte but it's not even dry. At all.  Price wise, it is RM68 but I am pretty sure there's alternatives with much more affordable price. Do let me know though if you found one.

That's all for my haul! I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

Finals are coming ;'(
