I am such a peach blush hoarder that I couldn't resist picking this up from Bobbi Brown. 

I initially wanted a cream blusher but this color caught my attention.

Of course,  I had to pick a peach blusher and I really think my yellow-skintone is meant for peach blushers. Its' name is Clementine (Number 46) and it is described as a mid-tone pink orange.

If you observed, they are this tiny white dots all around it (?) 

If you have any idea, do let me know. 

  

Under flash :

What I love about this blusher is that you only need such a small amount on your cheeks because it is THAT pigmented! I tried swatching on the back of my hands and rubbing it off forcefully, 75% of it stays put! Amazing! It would do well for humid weather for sure.

I did not use any primer for the testing and it lasted for 6 hours to say the least.

Swatches ; 

Isn't it so pretty?

Major love!

On Face ; 

 

  

Item: It comes in 3.7g only. But a little goes a long way and I have no qualms about it.

Price Wise : It is not a budget-friendly blusher but the pigmentation pays off! I only need so little to apply on both cheeks. It's safe to say you will be pleased with the quality given. 

Verdict : 

I would recommend this blusher for anyone who is looking for quality products and wouldn't mind splurging over it. I really couldn't stop raving over this blush because it really is a wonderful blusher that gives you the natural flush. They should win for the best blusher award or something!

I hope my review helps!

Price: RM98

Where to purchase: Bobbi Brown outlets

Ever since I made my Top 10 Lipsticks, I decided to blog about my Top 5 Face and Eyes Products. I wish I could blog all of my favorite Face and Eye products but it will be endless and who knows I might blog more about it in the future? Bear in mind that there are not arranged in numerically. 

 Innisfree Ultrafine Browcara in No.1 Dark Brown, 4g

Price : RM28.00

Good News to fellow Malaysians! Innisfree finally opened their first store in Malaysia at Sunway Pyramid. It feels so green-y entering this particular Korean beauty store. 

I was desperately looking for a brow gel mascara ever since my Gimme Brow worn out and this is my best substitute for an affordable price, too. It has twice the amount of the former and 5 times more affordable? I wouldn't hesitate for the world. It comes in 3 colors and I picked the darkest brown. 

As for the brush, 

It is thin and small compare to most regular brow gels but Gimme Brow is still the smallest and shortest due to its cute size. I like how it does well for combing and coloring my brows but sometimes it can get too liquid-y where I wish it was more of a dry-substance?

Overall, I have no complains and often, I wipe off the excessive into to the tube. 

Swatch :

Nars Light Reflecting Translucent Powder in Pressed Version, 7g.

Price : RM130

It comes in a pouch and a superb thin sponge which I did not enjoy at all.

It is a setting powder and it comes in either loose or pressed version.
I initially wanted the loose version because I have heard so much good reviews rather than the pressed ones but I decided to get the latter for touch up purposes.
What I love about this product is that it won't give you a cakey feeling and it blurs your pores!
Thus, I find this gives matte and radiant finish. 

It is pointless to swatch this product as you will hardly see anything x

M.A.C  Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Camel Coat, 5g.

 Price : RM77.00

It is a rediscovery product from my storage and I wonder why didn't I start using it earlier. This particular shade is a matte-finish eye shadow but I often use it as a primer because it is so long wearing! It is a very creamy texture and it dries up into a matte finish. Amazing!

Although the shade looks so scary on the pan but I often pile up with eye shadow on a daily basis. It comes in 5g but I don't think I will hit the pan anytime soon. 

Swatch :

Nars Cosmetics Radiant Creamy Concealer in Medium 2 Ginger, 3g

RM100.00

What I love about this product is that it is a doe-foot applicator and it works so well on my dark circles. After using it almost daily, I find my eye bags much more moisturizing and it gives a nice finish. More importantly, it doesn't set on my lines so I wouldn't really mind splurging on this just for under my eyes. I have been using for 4 months and I have yet to run out of this product.

Swatch :

Benefit Cosmetics' Watts Up Highlighter, 2.5g

*This is deluxe size but the actual product costs around RM150*

I'm sorry guys the beautiful design on the packaging was slowly fading and I apologize profusely. 

It is a wonderful highlighter that doesn't give you the ''in-your-face'' glow but a ''see-me-there'' natural highlight that you wouldn't want to take any attention away from your eye makeup or maybe your gorgeous lipstick shade? Possibly. I was glad that I was given this as a sample/deluxe sized product for me to use it. I use this probably more often than any of my usual highlighters because I like it is creamy and blendable and more importantly, a natural finish. It's amazing how much product there is inside and idk when will I even finish using this.

I hope you enjoy my review and I will see you soon,

Lipsticks are my recent favorite ever since I grew apart from lip gloss. Within a short period, I manage to purchase more than a dozen of lipsticks (some were given).

But a girl can't have too many lipsticks, right?

But I will not make a whole review of my entire lipstick collection. 

Instead, I will be listing my top 10 most used lipsticks throughout December. 

I can't really choose my Top 1 or whatever as I love them all so equally that they are like my babies. I love purchasing lipsticks from all sorts of brand so it really depends on the quality or finishes for me to like/love and be convinced. There are days I want a peach look or nude but on some days, I bring in the darker shades to reflect my mood.

Here are the swatches :

Under flash -

Under normal light -

M.A.C Russian Red ; Matte finish

This is a universal red for everyone and it is blue-toned which makes your teeth whiter. Even though it's matte but it is so creamy and non-drying at all. I would choose this over Ruby Woo. 

M.A.C Kinda Sexy ; Matte finish

It is a nude-pink shade which I purchased it because I wanted a nude but not too pale nude and it seemed perfect. Sometimes I apply the littlest amount for a hint of color

M.A.C Impassioned ; Amplified finish

It is a hibiscus pink that I didn't purchase but was given by a friend. Normally, I don't enjoy pink lipsticks but this is quite subtle that I do apply little amount as a tint to class and it gives me that natural flush. Love the amplified finish that it's quite moisturing.

Yves Saint Laurent #13 Le Orange ; Rouge Pur Couture collection Satin finish

To be honest, I didn't choose this color but it was bought by my brother and surprisingly I love the color. It is so creamy and moisturising PLUS it smells like fruity-ish. This may be quite pricey but I wouldn't mind purchasing it for the quality. 

N.Y.X Snow White ; Satin finish

It's somewhat like a dark brown-red but it is so beautiful! It is very pigmented even with just 1 swatch so I would recommend if you want to go darker reddish brown and it doesn't put a hole in your pocket.

Avon Hot Pink ; Satin finish

This reminds me of purple-pink but not as light as lilac but still! I would say it gives a very creamy finish but not very long-lasting.  Overall, I don't mind re-applying every single time it fades anyway.

Avon Matte Merlot ; Matte finish

This shade reminds me of burgundy-red and I love how it compliments my yellow, olive-skintone. It looked so scary on the tube but rest assure it isn't. Moreover, it is quite affordable as well.

Avon Berry Smooch ; Totally Kissable Collection in Satin finish

This lipstick collection is by far my most favorite lipstick ever that I purchased 4 shades from this collection alone.  I would describe it as hot purple berry but not too overempowering. It's very moisturising, creamy and more importantly, it is very pigmented as well.

Avon Red Embrace ; Totally Kissable Collection in Satin finish

The only reason I purchased this is because it was reviewed by Teen Vogue (surprise! surprise!) and I thought, WHY NOT? It is a bright orange-red more on the warmer tones. It's so affordable as well so I would highly suggest you checkout this color. 

Avon Make Out Red ; Totally Kissable Collection in Satin finish

This lipstick was given by my mom because she thought this color would suit me. It actually did. It is described as a pink-red but more on the rose-pink. If I am feeling girly that day, I would slapped on this lipstick.

That's all for my blog review! I hope this helps :D

Till then,

Hey lovelies!

I just got back from my usual window shopping. I didn't really purchase as much as my boyfriend whom went nuts almost at every male departments.

 I love Typo's journals that I couldn't resist grabbing a few.

& I finally got myself a lipstick case. 

Whilst getting bored in the clothing department ;

I did take a few non-professional shots in the fitting room (sorry, not sorry)

Factorie's fitting room is the bomb yo!

Lightning wasn't perfect but the decor is quite interesting.

I thought the beanie is quite a statement for a plain ol' casual look.

Sleveless Crop Top : RM19

Cardigan : RM59

Beanie : RM19

Shorts : Own

Shoes : Own

They're having sales so do check them out!

Meanwhile I was waiting for my boyfriend to shop, 

I love how my lashes stand out with Mega Impact and Super Magnify mascara.

Lipstick by YSL Rouge Pur Couture #13

After he was done, we decided to try Wondermama X Cafe.

It was our first time and we were kinda taking a leap of trying new things nowadays since I have always been so spontaneous and I am trying to convert him into it.

They have a Cafe and Bar section. 

I like the old fashion menu!

Love the décor, too!

Iced Milo (RM6.80 before tax)

It's not too thick nor thin but pretty refreshing for tea time.

Surprisingly, he was hungry so he ordered this Salted Egg fried rice. (RM14.90 before tax)

 It actually taste good but pretty pricey for a fried rice, no?

Durian Crepe with Ice-cream (RM9.50 before tax)

I LOVE THIS DESSERT! If you love Durian, order this! It was sprinkled with cornflakes and corn, served with vanilla ice cream. I enjoy this dessert as it is a mix combo of the tradition ice cream with crepe.

Of course I had to take a photo and after so many failed ones (I shall not embarrass myself on this) and my boyfriend finally got it! I look all demure nonsense but it is hard to pose without the front camera nonetheless.




OVERALL, this is an affordable place for meals or desserts so I would probably drop by soon.

Price wise: Affordable
Service: Quick and Efficient
Surrounding: Clean and pretty place to take photos

I hope you will have a wonderful weekend!

Have fun shopping or cafe hopping!
