Especially BB creams. Although it was released for quite some time already but it's kinda new in Malaysia. I only came across SkinFood BB Cream and now other brands like Elianto or FaceShop or others releasing it. So far the famous ones are like Skin79, Dr Jart+, SkinFood, BRTC, Hanskin, Missha, Shills, and others. I bought the SkinFood Aloe BB Cream in Queensbay two weeks ago after reading the product reviews from a beauty blog.
SkinFood Aloe Vera BB Cream
Actually I've stopped using foundation for almost half a year already. I minimized foundation usage because I did not want my pores to get worst since I have large pores. Worst still is that my blackheads are filing up all my pores. That's terrible. Apparently without the usage of foundation, my skin gets better a lot. But now when I came across BB Cream, I cant stop myself from trying it. I have the one from SkinFood but I dare not to use it everyday. Only on certain occassions.
Few days ago I bought the Skin79 Blemish Balm from a shop in MidValley. RM20 for the sample size. No harm trying. And I find it much better than SkinFood. In terms of the coverage and radiant glow on the skin! So Skin79 is in my shopping list for Korea trip!
Yes I'm going Korea this early March. BB Creams,Masks, Makeups, Skincare..anyone??
I'm searching for best selling items from Korea before my trip so that I know what to buy when I'm there. Furthermore I dont have much free and easy time shopping around coz it's a company trip. Let me know if you came across anything which is good from Korea. My aunt asked me to get her toothpaste from Korea! Hahha..she said the toothpaste there are special, because they come in a variety of colours and some are like scrubs-texture. That's cool!
I was so bored this evening when I decided to reveal out the makeup products I'm currently using.
Where shall I start?Okay skincare first.
Face
I was using few brands of skincare previously. I mix here n there depending on which are the best selling item for each range like for cleansing oil I choose Shu Uemura, toner from Clinique, mosturizer from Clinique, pore refining cream from SK-II and etc. Since our company has launched its own skincare range, Izumi, on the 26th Jan 09, so I decided to use the entire range to see the effects on my skin before I can actually start selling it.
Here's the entire range of Izumi which consists of Cleansing Solution, Revive Gel, Spring Toner, Ocean Serum and Water Gel. It is suitable for all types of skin. This set really does wonder on my skin especially its water gel, revive gel and ocean serum. And the whole range is only RM556! Value for money..
Maybe I'll blogged more about this skincare in another entry k!
Every morning I cleanse my face with MD Formulation Cleanser, followed with the Izumi Spring Toner, and Water Gel.
Next I use Kose Ultra Sun Protector UV with SPF50. I know the SPF is relatively high, but I'm out for the whole day getting in and out of the car. So I really need higher SPF sunblock.
So far I love it best because its white watery texture wont make my skin feel sticky like other sunblocks. Good thing is that it controls oil quite well.
Sometimes I replaced Kose sunblock with Chanel Whitening Modeling Effect Base with SPF30.
The texture is thicker than Kose but it has shimmery effects on the skin. I use it as my makeup base also because it makes my skin glow especially at night! That's what I applied on my skin on normal days. If there's any occassions, then I'll put on foundation and loose powder.
I'm using Red Earth loose powder now. But Fion introduced me to Palgantong Theatrical Powder, so maybe I'll try that next. Here's how it looks like. I thought of asking my sis to get it for me in Singapore but she said her plan to KL was canceled. Ish!
Eyes
My beautiful eyes! LOL..I cant leave home without drawing eyeliner on my big eyes! Without eyeliner, my eyes will look damn tired and strengthless. wtf. Previously I was using the gel type eyeliner from Bobbi Brown but to save time every morning, I'm using MAC Powerpoint Eyeliner (Black).
The gel eyeliner is long lasting but I spend quite some time using it. Maybe it's because I'm not pro enough..hehhe!
Now it comes to eyeshadow. I love colours! Especially matching my eyeshadows with my outfit of the day. Okay I have a pair of super oily eyes where eyeshadows wont stay any longer than 2 hours. I was so frustrated! How can a woman not use any eyeshadows??!!! But luckily I found this magic cream that does wonder on my eyes. Now my eyeshadows can stay on my eyes for more than 24 hours without any smudging at all!
Presenting my bestie...URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION!!!
I love it mann! *muacks* Now I can blend any colours on my eyes without worrying the colours will smudge or fade off. I ordered it via ebay a year ago and it's gonna finish very soon. I guess I'll need to order again. If I'm not mistaken it's around RM70 including shipping costs. Worth the investment!!
I'm using eyeshadows from MAC and Elianto. My colours are all arranged in palettes. This is my favourite colour!
MAC Eyeshadow in Teal.
For mascaras, I'm a loyal user of Maybelline. I dont invest on expensive mascaras because I find that Maybelline mascaras can does wonders already.
Most importantly make sure it's waterproof please!
And eye cream..Clinique All About Eyes
Cheeks
Some girls cant leave home without blusher but I'm the opposite..hahha! I can leave home without blusher. It's true. I always forget about blusher. LOL!
The only blusher I have from Make Up Store. ;)
Eyebrows
I'm using automatic eyebrow pencil from Ianti and I find it value for money! Only RM12.90 but for me it lasts only about a month plus.
Concealer. Another dont-need item. Hahha! Unless I really have one big acne to cover up!
Bought one from MAC long time ago and I think I use it for not more than 10 times. See it's still full right?!
Lips
Okay lastly my lips.
Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick and Chanel Lip Gloss.
There it goes! That's what I need everyday before stepping out of home. You know what?! I need almost 90 minutes to get ready every morning.
20 minutes in the bathroom. 15 minutes to choose my outfit. 30 minutes to put on skincare and makeups. 15 minutes to blow dry my hair. And the remaining time to do this and that..hahha! The fastest I can get ready is within 60 minutes (if I dont wash my hair). The boyfriend keeps complaining to all his friends that I need more than an hour to get ready. But I'm sure that's the average time every girl needs right? Unless those without makeups..
Tell me how long do you need to put on all your makeups..please!
I need to find out the average time. Just to compare if I were to use too much/little time to get ready..hehhe!
Till here for today! Next entry will be on our Northern Award Presentation! Stay tuned..
