Sleek Makeup Brow Kit and Face Form Review

Recently I have made a purchase from Luxola since they were having 40% off for a limited time. As I wanted to get a brow kit for myself, i said why not try SleekMakeup's Brow Kit since they were on a more affordable side. Beside the Brow Kit, I was attracted to another of their product which is Face Form in Light, the palette is really awesome since they give you a contour powder, highlighter and a blusher!

The packaging of these palettes is just like their name, really sleek and slim. Easy for travel usage! :)

The Face Form palette came in 3 different shades, Medium, Light and Fair. I chose the Light palette as I was really attracted to the blusher. It seems like a dupe for Nar's Orgasm since it has gold shimmers with a Rosy shade.

The contour powder is good and perfect shade for my skin tone. It is pigmented and can be easily blended out in your skin, which makes it looks natural! The powder is really smooth and easy to pick up by brush too. 

The highlighter is in a champagne white tone, not the usual white glittery colour. It is also very pigmented and easy to blend which gives you a radiant look.

Lastly will be my most anticipated blush colour in Rose Gold! I have to say that it wasn't really up to my expectation as it is not as pigmented as the contour powder and highlighter. The blusher is harder to pick up the colours with a brush and you have to apply for few times to get the shade that you want. But overall, it is still a really nice radiant blush for me! :)

Overall, this palette did not disappoint me at all. With the price of $22 (in Luxola), it is really a decent palette that is worth a try, especially for beginners. I would rate this a 4/5! <3

I have always wanted to get a brow kit since I wanted to give them some attention now. The Brow Kit comes with a tweezer, and 2 brushes. (an angled brush and the norma brush) I'm a really lazy person when it comes to plucking my eyebrows. I'm glad that all brow kits comes with tweezer so that I wouldn't get lazy to pluck them since I can see the tweezer there once I open the brow kit.

The Brow Kit comes in 2 colours, Extra Dark and Dark. Since I have lighter hair shade, I picked up the colour in Dark. The tweezer was not as flexible as I taught it would be as it is a little hard to pinch down and pluck my brows. The 2 brushes in it is great, they are just of the correct size and picks up the product really easily as well.

The Brow Wax (on the left) is easy to be picked up by the angled brush. The angled brush allows you to spread the product and draw your brow line perfectly. A little brow wax goes a long way. After applying the Brow Wax, we have to blend and 'fixed' the brow wax in place using the Brow powder (on the right).

The shade of the Brow Powder is lighter than the Brow Wax which lightens the overall shade of your brow. The powder is smooth and easy to blend and it gives you a really natural brow look. The price is $22 for this Brow Kit in Luxola and it is also a decent product to try (and can probably last you for a long long time). Overall, I would also rate it a 4/5.

Grand Copthrone Waterfront Hotel Dinner Buffet~

Just this thursday, me and the girls went Grand Copthrone Waterfront hotel for buffet dinner!

Bought the coupon from deal.com.sg at $48 which is for Mon to Thurs (6.30pm to 10.30pm).

It's my treat to them for getting my 1st year bonus!! :)

We made a reservation at 7pm and cabbed down afterwork, the place is v atas indeed! hahaha!

So the place where we eat is actually called Brio's.

The service is really good as the waiter even told us that there's more food just outside, and he continuously replenish our soft drinks!

They placed some of their food outdoor, the atmosphere is really romantic at night. Great place for lovers to come but there's no aircon outdoor though.. :/

Fountain in the middle~

Our foooood!! Their laksa is not bad and their tiger prawn & seafood are very fresh!
We made our own salad which taste not bad at all! hehe ^^
I like their chocolate fondue too, dripped in marshmallow! *yumyums*
They had ice cream as well but only 4 flavours, but there's no chocolate flavour so i skipped eating ice cream. Other than that there's actually not a lot of choices of food even though it's an international buffet. The $48 spent wasn't quite worth it :< but for the experience and ambience, it's quite alright. worth to try! :)

ZA Total Hydration Pore Care Essence Review

Hello sweeties!!

Here's another review post,

which is on ZA Total Hydration Range!

I said i loveeeee hydrating right? :P

The packaging is PINK!! ♥

" Resolves dryness and stickiness. For resilient skin with less visible pores. Full of the moisture and ingredients that skin needs. Results in smooth skin that glows from within "

Benefits:

- Foggy Powder: keeps skin feeling silky-light and minimize appearance of conspicuous pores.

- Glyclglycine: normalizes paraketatosis and plumps the skin around each pore to minimize appearance of dilated pores.

- Prism Enhancer: exfoliate excess dead skin cells and moisturizes skin

- Vitamin B Derivatives: revitalizes skin

- Amino Mineral Complex: strengthen skin

Refreshing gel for intensive pore care.

Directions: After toner or lotion, use fingertips to gently smooth an appropriate amount over areas where the pores are of concern.

Pea-sized amount is actually enough, this tube of essence can last quite long.

Very spreadable and the essence is rather watery.

It absorbs relatively well too & it's refreshing.

I bought this on impulse as it was only retailing for $9.90 at Watson.

Since it states pore care + essence, so i thought why not? It's CHEAP & CUTE!

I've been diligently using it for a month, but i didn't observe any shrinkage in my pores,

so i kind of gave up using it. But in my opinion, it's okay to use it as essence.

Pros

- Moisturizing & Hydrating

- Not Oily

- Cute packaging

- I like the fragrance, it's refreshing!

- Cheap & Easily available

Cons

- Did not shrink pores

Overall Rating: I would rate this a 3/5, i'm quite disappointed that my pores did not shrink :( But it's good to use it as an essence, but i don't think I will repurchase.

Skinfood Rice Mask Wash Off Review

It's been a few days since I updated! :/

Today I'm gonna review on Skinfood Rice Mask!

It's a highly raved product, that's why i decided to try it out.

Skin Food Rice Mask

The Box: Rice not only gives plenty of moistures but also brighten your skin.

This gentle rice mask, feeling as real rice lifts off any excess dirt & oil leaving skin smooth & clear.

Ingredient List & Direction

After Cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Avoid eye area. Rinse Off

(It didn't exactly says how long to put on, so i left it on for 10 minutes)

Texture of Product: Creamy with tiny micro-beads to remove dead skin.

So after spreading, i left it on for 10 minutes or so..

After 10 minutes, notice how the mask turns a little more transparent than before..

I don't know if you guys can see, but the part where i place the mask is smoother & slightly brighter than before. I massage my face with the micro-beads before rinsing off.

Fragrance: It didn't exactly smells like "rice", but i don't know what to describe the smell as. But the scent of this product actually stays on my face for sometime, i didn't exactly like it though..

Pros:

- Leave my skin smooth after applying

- Slightly brighten my face

- Removes dead skin

Cons:

- The fragrance, i didn't like the fact that it stays on my skin

- Product in tub form, it's messy when applying

- I notice my skin turns more oily after applying

- The direction is a little brief

Overall Rating: I would rate it a 3.5/5. It's an average product, not a must-have. It does what it states, but other than that it's pretty average I would say. Don't think I will repurchase again.

Etude House Peach Water Gloss #3 Plum Water Review

A yummy peach lipgloss from Etude House! (:

I was amazed by the peachy scent & cute packaging!

Available in 5 shades, i'm using #3 Plum Water

" -Moisturizing gloss that supplies color and volume to lips with a moist, smooth sensation.

-Jelly Polymer's smooth texture supplies moisture and color coating to lips without hassle.

-Supplies glossy, wet look to lips with specially formulated hydro coating.

-Heart-shaped applicator adds glossy volume to lips. "

Closeup on heart-shaped applicator

Though it looks similar to hotpink, but it's sheer when applied.

Pic 1: Bare Lips

Pic 2: 1 coat of gloss

Pic 3: 2 coats of gloss

As you can see, the gloss is really sheer. It's more towards nude/babypink when applied.

What i like about this gloss is that it's non-sticky & the yummy peachy scent just travel to your mouth.

Pros:

- Yummy Peachy Scent

- Cute Packaging

- Easy to apply with the heart- shaped applicator

- Pretty Color

- Non-sticky & Moisturizing

Cons:

- Not very long-lasting & color disappears after eating.

- Sheer, need 2 coats or more.

Overall Rating:I would rate this a 4/5. Though it's not very long-lasting, but i think the scent & color make up for it. It's good for girls who likes their lip colors to be nude/soft pink.
