M.A.C Fashion Nomad, Innocence & Pleasureseeker Lipstick Review

Earlier this year, I went to the staff sale at Renaissance Hotel and managed to grab 3 M.A.C Lipsticks for only RM60! :D

Below are the lipsticks I bought which were from the previous M.A.C Collections or Limited Edition ones:
1. Fashion Nomad - from the Style Seeker Mattene collection
2. Innocence - from the Glamour Daze collection
3. Pleasureseeker - from Heavenly Creatures collection


[L-R] Fashion Nomad, Innocence and Pleasureseeker

Fashion Nomad: A creamy matte lipstick with an intense bright red orange colour. Its creamy texture allows easy application and does not dry out the lips like most matte lipstick tends to do.

Innocence: A soft coral shade with peach undertones. It has a frosted finish which is absolutely gorgeous if you love the shimmer. Best to apply a layer of lip balm as it is quite drying.

Pleasureseeker: A sheer coral lipstick with glaze formula. It has a subtle pink/nude undertones as well. Good for an everyday look since this lipstick is pretty sheer.

What are your favourite lipsticks from M.A.C?

In the end, I chose the Freshkon Colors Fushion range as I found them to be natural looking and also comfortable to wear! I don't really wear contact lens all the time as it tends to dry my eyes, but with Freshkon it more comfortable. Sometimes, I could wear it all day long :)

Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask Review 極透瞬白冰沁面膜

I recently joined Plus Size Kitten's Guinness Mask Review and Timeless Truth Malaysia was involved with this project! I have been seeing good feedbacks from beauty bloggers regarding TT masks and I am glad that Timeless Truth Malaysia has selected me as one of the bloggers to review their mask (⌒▽⌒)☆

After checking out the full range of mask on their website, I was quite interested in purchasing their other mask like collagen, royal jelly etc! Oh well, I shall drop by MaskSlim to stock on some TT Mask soon :) Back to the review!

 There are directions in English if you don't know how to read Mandarin :) The steps are:

1. Cleanse face.

2. Open sachet and take out the mask.

3. Adjust mask over the face and position it well :)

4. Press the mask lightly with your hands so that it adheres completely.

5. Remove mask after 15-20 minutes and massage the remaining essence into the skin.

The direction also mentioned about stretching the mask to ears but it doesn't have the gap to hold the ears for a face lifting effect. So I just use it as it is, since it doesn't reach my ears anyway. My face is huge! hahaha...

Neatly folded mask with plastic sheet. The mask is soaked with loads of essence and after separating the plastic sheet and the mask, I use the plastic sheet to apply some essence on my elbow and knees since it is under the moisturizing range. Don't waste :P

Problem areas of my skin are usually the T-Zone. Pimples are also popping out since the weather has been erratic lately. Super hot weather has caused my skin to breakout (。┰ω┰。) Before opening the mask sachet, I popped it into the fridge for about 30 minutes. My skin loves the cold feeling of the mask when applied on (*^▽^*) Even better, this cooling mask has a minty scent and sensation! I feel refreshed when breathing in the minty scent plus my skin enjoyed the cooling sensation!

My skin feels so well moisturized and hydrated after putting on the mask! After removing the mask, I squeeze the remaining essence from the sachet and massage it on my skin :D 

Before and after of my skin. My skin is not that bright in the 'after picture'...it is just the angle. But what I am showing you is the pimple scar that I have gotten from popping the whitehead. It was lightened slightly and I was happy about it :) Same goes to the headless pimple on my chin...after an hour doing the mask, the size reduced and I am not exaggerating. Of course, consistent use of the Timeless Truth Mask is needed for better effect!

Feeling happy after using the Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask!

Shiseido Ma Cherie Moisture Shampoo Review

I've been seeing lots of good reviews regarding the Ma Cherie shampoo range by Shiseido, so I decided to purchase a bottle along with some other necessity with the RM50 voucher from the Great Guardian Makeover. Thanks Guardian （●´∀｀）ノ♡

The shampoo is priced at RM45.90. There are two types of Ma Cherie shampoo. One is Air Feel and the other is Moisture. I bought the moisture shampoo since my hair is dry and coarse  The previous shampoo I used was very drying for my hair. I'm glad that I bought the Ma Cherie shampoo as it worked really well!

I've been using this shampoo for a week now and absolutely loving it! Enjoyed the light peachy scent while I was shampooing my hair. Very relaxing :) It lathers up really easily too! The shampoo doesn't strip of the moisture of my hair and my hair feels softer now compared to before. Would definitely repurchase this shampoo and also try their other products next time (≡^∇^≡)

MAC Archie's Girls Ronnie Red Lipstick

Stumbled across the latest collection of MAC cosmetics while I was in the mall earlier this month. The huge display counter in the center of the mall piqued my curiosity, so me and my friend went to check it out. I'm glad I did, because I was quite an Archie's comic fan during high school :) And a part of me was immediately sold to the concept already xD

What caught my eye from the Archie's Girls collection was the Veronica matte lipstick in Ronnie Red (RM75). Tested it at the MAC counter and I fell in love with it! My friend in Aussie said most of the Archie's Girls collection were sold out over there. Plus it's a limited edition, so I went back to the mall and bought the lipstick a couple of days later :)

Ronnie Red is a mixture of cherry/hot pink and red which makes it a very vibrant and unique colour. I love the fact that it is outstanding and attention grabbing! The colour lasts very long too and it does stain your lips. 

Before this, I don't consider myself a lipstick fan as I tend to stick to lipbalm and gloss. Red lipstick in particular, have never been on my list because it screams bright and loud. But this year, I've been wanting to get my hands on a red lipstick for reasons unknown. Is it due to age, that I'm ready to move on to the next phase of life? xD I've been looking for a red lipstick for some time. Nothing held my interest while I was on my search and I'm glad that I found this amazing lipstick in a shade that I love! 

However, this matte lipstick made my lips dry after a while. So I'll have to constantly apply Vasaline every couple of hours so that my lips don't get chapped. That is the only thing that I didn't like, but I'll overlook this matter :) If you have pink undertones like me, it is best to apply foundation or bb cream on your face because the Ronnie Red lipstick tends to make the redness on your face more visible.

Review: Etude House Happy Teatime Peach Tea Cleansing Foam

Few months ago, I went to the Etude House Concept Store launch in Sunway Pyramid to buy some beauty products as they were having sale! Now, it's time to review one of the items I've bought! :)

I was attracted to this Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam when I saw it on the counter.  Should I say they have a few range of flavours for this cleansing form? haha... They have Green Tea, Milk Tea, Lemon Tea, Peach Tea and Aloe Tea. All of them sounds good enough to eat use it on your face :P

I consulted the Etude House worker on which cleansing foam is the best for combination skin and they recommended the Peach Tea cleansing foam. I've used it for a few months now and loving it!

The cleansing foam lather up really well, so just squeezing out a pea size will cover up your whole face. The peach tea scent was also really refreshing and welcoming, literally makes you 'happy' when you're washing your face xD 

I love the fact that this cleansing foam cleanse my face thoroughly, leaving it squeaky clean. Some people might find it too harsh or drying, but it works well for my combination skin. After using it for a week, I noticed that the pores on my T-zone got smaller :)

This cleansing foam also contains Peach Tea extract for brightening. But for me, the brightening part didn't work. No difference seen.

150ml for this cleansing foam can last you for quite some time. The original price is RM13.90 and I bought it at a 30% discount. Overall, I really love this cleansing foam and look forward  to try out more Etude House products :D

Origins GinZing Eye Cream

With all the late nights pulling through assignments, investing in an eye cream is definitely needed! After hearing my friend rave about the Origins GinZing Eye Cream and also checking out online reviews, I finally gotten it as my first ever eye cream! Its purpose is to brighten the eye area and also make it less puffy! 

When I used it for the first time, I really love it as it makes the puffy areas under my eyes go away. Even though I get less than 8 hours of sleep, my eyes felt more awake after patting it around the eye area...which must be due to the caffeine content. The texture is light and easily absorbed. Plus, it has some kind of highlight/tint to make the eyes look brighter and provide a sheer coverage over the dark circles.

But after using it for a long run, twice a day for about 1 month, oil seeds start to appear around my eye area. Oh well, this eye cream is too rich for me. I started cutting down the usage to once a day and then once in 2 days but it didn't help much so I decided to stop using it after a while. I only use it when I need to get rid of the puffiness or when my eyes is still feeling sleepy x) It also didn't help much with my eyebags since I'm practically born with eye bags (it's true...)

Overall, this eye cream lived up its expectation for it's depuff and refreshing purpose. Other than that, I didn't notice much change on my dark circles. I guess it only works when you apply it due to the brightening tint. Bought it for about RM140 if I am not mistaken. 

Veet Suprem' Essence

Nowadays, we're so caught up with a busy lifestyle that we hardly have anytime to pamper ourselves. But with Veet, we can take a step back for our pampering session as it's quick and effective. Rushing out for a meeting in 15 mins? Veet has just the solution for you :)

Veet has always been my favourite choice of  depilatory product as it is effective and provides a smooth and silky finish. Look what has been delivered to my doorstep!

The new Veet Suprem' Essence!

What came in the box are two of Veet's new hair removal product, a kit that contains shower sponge and a rose scented candle :) All these products reached just in time for me to have a pampering session for myself since I've been busy and stressed out with assignments.

Veet Suprem Essence contains patented Hydro'Restor formula that helps to replenish the skin’s hydration levels. Removing hair with razors is not recommended as it dries the skin and makes the hair harsh. Veet Suprem Essence is specially formulated with different essential oils and velvet rose fragrance which leaves the skin feeling silky, soft and fresh.

Lets take a look at the two new products which is designed for the use of legs, arms, underarms and bikini line.

Veet Suprem' Essence Wax Strips, RM27.90

Comes with 18 wax strips and 4 perfect finish wipes.

With just 5 steps, you'll get a smooth and sily leg!

1. Rub the wax strip between your hands to warm to wax.

2. Peel the strips apart.

3. Apply the strips on the legs and rub the strip repeatedly in the direction of the hair growth.

4. Pull the strip back in the opposite direction of the hair growth in one swift motion. The strip can be reused during that session until it loose it stickiness.

5. After waxing, remove the excess wax with a Perfect Finish Wipe.

Verdict: Veet Suprem Essence Wax Strips successfully removes hairs till its roots which will leaves you hair free for two to four weeks! Although it removes hair as short as 2mm as claimed, shorter hairs less than 2mm are hardly removed. The waxing process is quite painful but it is effective as I saw not only the surface of the hair but the roots as well. The Perfect Finish Wipe is important the remove the excess wax and your legs. The wipe came across as too oily for me at first, but after application I find that it's important to remove the remaining wax and also the essential oil absorbs into the skin and leaves the skin silky and soft. It's not oily at all! There will be redness after waxing but after applying the Perfect Finish Wipes, it's gone within an hour.

Veet Suprem Essence Hair Removal Cream, RM17.90

Veet Suprem Essence Hair Removal Cream is quick and easy to use. Squeeze the cream onto the curved surface of the spatula.

Apply the cream and spread evenly onto the skin. Leave it on for a minimum of 3 mintues and maxinum 6 mintues.

Remove the hair by lightly scrapping of  the cream using the other surface of the spatula. Wash off the remaining cream and pat skin dry.

Verdict: What I like about Veet Suprem' Essence Hair Removal Cream that it is painless and effective in such a short period of time. 3 minutes is all it takes! It's like cooking instant noodle :P Within the 3 to 6 mintues, I can get my makeup done and also dressed up. Just remove and wash off the cream and I'm good to head out! Veet Suprem' Essence Hair Removal Cream lets me multitask especially when I'm racing against time. Unlike the wax strips, the cream is more effective in removing short hairs on the surface which are not caught by the wax strips.

Veet Suprem Essence Wax Strips is good when you have the time to do the waxing process as it takes a longer time. It effective and gives a longer lasting hair free days. If you're rushing for time and not keen on the pain from the wax strips, the Veet Suprem Essence Hair Removal Cream will be the right one for you :) The velvet rose fragrance and essential oil leaves a light and refreshing scent after using the products. It smells just not and not overpowering at all :D

Liese Bubble Hair Color & Liese Juicy Shower

I've never coloured my hair before except for straightening, so basically it's my 1st time trying out a new hair colour :P

 Decided to purchase Liese Bubble Hair Color since it's a relatively new product imported to M'sia which has been getting positive reviews and to save money & time to DIY. Also, I couldn't resist the pretty & cute packaging! ;D

 I was deciding between Marshmallow Brown, Cassis Berry and Sweet Pink. After doing some research and some sample viewing at the display counter, I finally went for Sweet Pink! :D Too bad the Sweet Apricot is not available here, I would've bought that if I had the choice!

After doing the allergy test for about 24 hrs (yeah, the instruction says 48 hrs but I was too excited and busy to wait for 2 days. lol), DIY hair colouring process starts! I love how the packaging is equipped with the bottles and a pair of gloves. The instructions is simple and easy to follow.

My hair is shoulder length so I used the whole bottle of it. Waited from abt 30 mins and in between I lather up the bubbles at each 8-10 mins so that the colours would come out even. After the waiting duration, washed my hair with warm water (shampooed and conditioned) , dried my hair and applied the Nourishing lotion.

Before & After (under sunlight)
Although my hair was quite dry after colouring, but after conditioning and putting on hair serum religiously for 2 days, it became better :D

The other product that I bought from Liese was the Liese Juicy Shower Mixed Berry Moisturizing Hair Mist.
I love berries and the smell of the hair mist isn't too strong. I like to use it when my hair is damp. Just spray some onto the damp hair and then blow dry it with the hair dryer. My hair became really soft and fluffy after that!
