Happy Valentine's Day

Hi babes,

This year is a special year to celebrate cause both Chinese and English Valentine's Day fall on the same day! How cool is that!!!  

Anywhoooo.. To those who already have a partner, I wish the best of happiness to you and your partner get hitched soon!

And no worries my single ladies, love will find you if you are always open to receive it. Go for dates and you might find your true love. That's how I found mine :) 

May all of you celebrate it well with your loved ones and embrace the love around you!


Xoxo,

Eyeliners Galore

My cosmetics addiction started with my first eyeliner I purchased many years back.  It was a black automatic black eyeliner from Silky Girl. Ever since then, I became a cosmetic hoarder and it slowly evolved to skincare hoarding. LOL.

Girls and cosmetics…… it never ends……

So, today I am going to do a review on all the eyeliners I have been using and LOVING!


Numero uno! Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black.

After the first eyeliner I owned from Silky Girl, I have been trying on many others such Rimmel and Maybelline. I usually use it to tight-line my upper lash line for a fuller eyelash look. This way my eyes look more awake.

In order for an eyeliner to do such task, it must be
1.     smudge-proof
2.     waterproof
3.     creamy and dries instantly
4.     heavily pigmented

This Revlon ColorStay does exactly what it says, IT STAYS!! It will stay on the whole day with very minimal smudge. All this awesome features with a small price of  RM29.90. You can get this from all pharmacies in Malaysia.



Maybelline Hypersharp Liner

This is the first of the two liquid eyeliners in this post. The usual problem of a liquid eyeliner is that it leaves a shine like black sticker on the lids. This one dries up to a nice matte black line. But what I really like about this liner is its super thin brush tip. It is perfect to create a super thin line to create fuller lash look. I even use this to tightline my upper lash line.

Why is this liner awesome?
1.     super thin tip
2.     waterproof
3.     pigmented
4.     doesn’t smear when applied

To remove this, use a cream cleanser or a oil based make up remover.

I don’t really know the RRP for this liner as I got it on sale. I got it from Guardian at RM18.90.





Clio Waterproof Pen Liner in Kill Black (Korean)

Haha. My obsession with eyeliners will never end!!! When you have sleepy eyes like mine you will want to do anything to keep those peepers look awake.

This is a felt tip liner that claims to be heavily pigmented and last the whole day.

I usually use this if I want to create a thicker and bolder line. It flicks perfectly.

And why do I love this?
1.     heavily pigmented
2.     waterproof
3.     firm felt tip that doesn’t feel rough on the lids
4.     does not stain the lids after removing – ultimate pet peeve!
5.     matte finish


This liner can be found in Watsons or Sasa for RM59.90. They now have a new variant called Clio Waterproof Brush Liner.


That's all for now! There will be more reviews coming. Let me know if this style of review needs more information.

Thank you all!

So stay tuned for more upcoming posts!

ZA Cosmetics Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation

I was going through my barangs to see which one is worthy of a review, then it hit me... THE FOUNDATION I USE EVERYDAY!!

I stumbled upon this when I was reading XiaXue's blog and she said she has been using this since forever. That was probably 2 years ago. Not sure what is she using now but I AM  STILL USING THIS! and I LOVE IT!

 
It gives me the coverage I need. It's sheer and light enough for everyday use. Most importantly, it does not break my face out! It makes my face shine-free for averagely 6-7 hours in this hot and humid Penang weather! When I'm in an air-conditioned room, it can stay matte for up to 9 hours! AMAAZING in my opinion! I forgot to mention I have combination oily skin (according to Clinique's diagnosis). Oily T-zone but normal cheeks. It also doesn't cake or leave light spots when I sweat as well.



The only downside about this foundation is that it transfers quite easily. So be careful when you are wearing white or anything light-coloured.

All in all, I would give this product a 7/10.

P/S : Currently, I am using shade 22 but was using 23 when I was in Perth. I GOT FAIRER! =(


Much love,
Nutty. N

Happy Chinese New Year!


Happy Dragon Year everyone!! I would like to wish every single one of you out there a joyful and very blessed year ahead. To me Happiness triumphs over everything! Eg, prosperity and success. When one is happy, things tend to go her way and nothing can stop her from taking over the world! Cheeeeeeeers to HAPPINESS! 


Smile Always,
