Brows.. brows.. How it changes the face! Etude Color my Brows

I passed by one of my favorite Korean beauty stores - Etude house and noticed a new shade of Color my Brows. I already reviewed shade in rich brown here  and I really loved it. And since I got my hair dyed with a hint of red, I decided to get another shade.

I've introduced brow tints to some friends and they absolutely adore it. It's a quick fix to barely there brows and thick brows at the same time.

Colored brows lightens the face.

I like this more than Kate's brow color.
Etude's is more matte. Kate has shimmer.

I highly recommend this :D

Maybelline Bold Matte Review

Happy Summer Everyone!

Here's a review on my latest finds. I finished lippies so I am entitled to buy new ones :)

I passed by Guardian one day and saw their new line of Maybelline Lipsticks - Bold Matte. It looked so nice in photos so I decided to grab 2 because they're on sale. It's introductory at S$14.30 but regular price is at S$17+

I got these 2 lovely shades

Likes:

• It's a different matte. It moisturizes lips without that glossy sticky feel
• Feels light
• Pigmented
• Staying power is great. Can last 4-6 hours

Dislikes:

• None

Here's a shot of Vivid Coral Shade

no balm

Here's SUGAR PINK. Photo quality is not that good as I just took it from my phone.
I will change it soon and get hubby take a better shot :D

Haul: Mac, Bobbi Brown and Estee Lauder on a Private Sale

Hello Ladies,

Last April 20, I and my makeup lover girl friends attended Estee Lauder's private sale at Marina Bay Sands. It sold famous brands like Mac, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Estee Lauder.
I did not buy too much as I decided to buy only those I really wanted and needed.
Let me share the swatches. I'll soon post photos of me or models wearing these makeups. I've been very lazy lately to edit and update my blog. My  pregnancy kept me just too lazy to blog.

I've always wanted an orange lippie but this MAC gloss will do :)

I've been packing lightly and I love makeup kits. This MAC quad with cream bronzer is perfectly handy and great for daily use.

Tired of black or brown liners? Estee lauder's liner is L-O-V-E

Bronzer... I'll never get tired of Bronzers

Stocked up on NC45. This is for my morena clients/models.

Finally got my bobbi brown cream shadow. I love it so much! I use it daily at work

So that's us happily shopping :D

Nose Line? Highlights? Kate Slim Create Powder

Happy Summer April!

Let me share another product review. I haven't been buying much cosmetics lately as I only buy cosmetics which I need. No more impulsive buying. :) Yey!

I was looking for an affordable Contour and highlight powder for nose line when I saw Kate's Slim Create Powder. I always liked Kate as they have good quality products. This drug store brand never failed me.

Price: S$27
I got mine less 25%  during Watsons sale

• Highlighter gives a natural glow when applied on areas to be highlighted: Works on most skin tones

• The brush is useful for highlights. I don't use it to contour though as I don't mix brushes
• The quality of brush is good. It is soft too.
• Product is not powdery
• Packaging is small and fits pouch and kits easily.
• Packaging is also classy
• Mild contour, natural looking

Neutral:

• The contour powder is light but buildable. . It works for fair skin. If you are quite dark, (darker than NC45) this might not work for you. 

Here are some photos of Charmaine. I used the product to highlight her face and contour nose line only. She is around MAC NC35- NC40 on skin color.
