Glossier Cloud Paint

Categories BeautyLeave a Comment on Glossier Cloud Paint


I did a Glossier order recently and one of the things I grabbed was the Cloud Paint in Haze. It is the darkest colour of the collection.

It’s a liquid blush. I’m always skeptical of them because they could potentially make me look like a clown.

This, however, blended easily. It’s also buildable so when the first layer dries a bit, you can add a bit more colour.

I love this because it actually mixes well with the redness I normally have on my cheeks and use them to my advantage instead. A little goes a long way in this little tube, but I would totally buy this again when I run out.

Pokemon x Tonymoly Yellow Nail Polish

I couldn’t resist this Psyduck nail polish from the Pokémon x Tony Moly collection. I don’t know if I can pull of yellow, but I will definitely try it once the final bits of shellac come of my nails.

Influenster: Saint and Sinner Perfume from Kat Von D

Categories BeautyLeave a Comment on Influenster: Saint and Sinner Perfume from Kat Von D


I don’t really wear perfume, but I received these cute Kat Von D potion bottles of perfume from Influenster.

The Saint (white bottle) is flowery with jasmine and hints of mandarin, vanilla and a wood tone.

Sinner is noticeably “darker” containing cinnamon, vetiver, patchouli and wood.

Personally, I preferred the Saint perfume but I gave both to a friend who would appreciate the scents.

Influenster: Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick

Categories Beauty1 Comment on Influenster: Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick


I was so excited to receive a few samples of Bite Beauty’s Amuse Bouche Liquid Lipsticks from Influenster. It also came with a lip primer.

Of the 3 colours, I have tested two so far.

They are pigmented and go on the exact shade it looks like in the bottle. Often when I buy lipsticks, it comes out more red than I hoped (based on my natural lip colour). It glided on creamy, and I didn’t need more than one swipe.

I love that they are matte, but at the same time don’t look dry on my lips. This is probably my favourite Influenster box so far as I’ll use the heck out of them.

You should join Influenster too to take part in free samples!

DR. G Red-Blemish Soothing Ampoule

Categories Beauty1 Comment on DR. G Red-Blemish Soothing Ampoule

I have a bit of redness on my cheeks and I am not sure what causes it. I’ve been trying to find a product that would minimize it and not just hide it like a BB cream would. I picked this Red Blemish Soothing Ampoule.

I’ve been using it like a serum after washing and toning. I don’t find that it helps my cheek redness that much but what it does do is make any blemishes or sudden acne disappear almost overnight. Maybe I got lost in translation. At least this works for something!

I Wear Makeup For Me

Categories BeautyLeave a Comment on I Wear Makeup For Me

I saw this article the other day and I thought it was hilarious:

I could relate to the joke article. People always like to tell me I look more beautiful without make-up. I’m fine with my face without makeup, but I also fuckin’ love makeup too.

I find it empowering because I can decide what I want to look like. I could be a goth one day, a sparkly pixie the next, or a grown up woman going to an adult party.

A lipstick can make you feel powerful. A vixen red, a cute pink, a daring brown. It’s not just the colour that does it, it’s the fact that I decided.

I love eyeshadows because it’s like painting my face. I could have rainbow lids, smokey eye, but I choose it.

Makeup to me isn’t about what anybody else tells me I look best in. It’s the power of the colour I want to feel at the moment.

I <3 Dark Lipstick

I love dark lip stick lately. It makes me feel powerful and in charge of how I want to look and present myself. It’s fun and bold because it requires a bit of courage to wear in public. 

What’s your fav dark lip shade? 

Topbox – May 2017 Edition

Categories Beauty2 Comments on Topbox – May 2017 Edition

Honestly, I was kind of disappointed in May’s Topbox. Two of the samples were super tiny and the Colgate Optic White toothbrush thing they threw in as an extra expires in June.

This Superstart sample from Elizabeth Arden had only a squirt of product!

I’ll save this Black Magic mascara from Eyeko for night adventures as it is waterproof and dramatic.

The Benefit Pore Professional thing came in a box, but the balm itself was tiny!

The Cake Desserted Island supreme body mousse feels super rich and has a nice fresh scent.

I can always use a new toothbrush but the whitening pen in here will expire soon. It must’ve been leftovers from a previous box or something.

I really liked the April Topbox so it was a shame this one kind of sucked. Oh well, that’s it for me and beauty boxes for a while. Need to free up some space and save up for the wedding.

Holika Holika x Gudetama Face 2 Change Photo Ready Cushion BB

Categories BeautyLeave a Comment on Holika Holika x Gudetama Face 2 Change Photo Ready Cushion BB

I know I told myself I would stop buying so much makeup before using some up but I couldn’t resist this Gudetama BB cream from Holika Holika.

The sales person recommend me 23 neutral beige for summer in case I can a bit. The product has SPF 50. It came in a variety of designs but I liked this one the most. It also comes with a refill for the compact, so it’s kind of like two portions in one.

The puff itself is also a Gudetama! The packaging is just so adorable I couldn’t resist.

In terms of coverage, it was a light coverage that lasts around 5 hours. You do get a little bit of shine, so not recommended if you are a particularly oily person who doesn’t like shine. It works perfectly with my highlighter and blush though so I don’t mind it.

Racinne Delicare Perfection

Categories BeautyLeave a Comment on Racinne Delicare Perfection

I received this Racinne Delicare Perfection mask box from a swag bag Nash got me from work. I’ve never heard of the brand but upon research, it’s another Korean skincare brand. I’m not Korean but they always have the nicest skin, so I’m always curious about their products.

These masks are primarily for dry skin. It can be worn and washed off in 15 minutes or as an overnight mask. Each portioned packet had a lot. I almost contemplated splitting it into two sessions, but I don’t need to be stingy on masks (I have tons).

It did leave my skin feeling moisturized after spending too much time in a warm shower. It also had a cold calming effect. It’s not as simple as a wearable mask, but I like that you can spread the product to all the right areas. I got lucky on this swag item!
