Hi Gorgeous Ones!

TGIF! That's all I have to say right now. My week has been very stormy but I've taken the mental approach that setbacks only mean you have to find a better way of doing things. I guess the same mentality can be applied to makeup. Keep on trying until you find the perfect concealor for your skin.
Concealors are the basis of great makeup. The one makeup product I believe in investing money in is concealor. It erases dark circles, flaws and pigmentation. A good matching concealor is also key if you want your eye makeup to look flawless.

I'm currently on a Skinfood craze so I thought I would test out their Salmon Darkcircle Concealor. Salmon shades are suppose to assist in cancelling out the darkness under the eye.

Super cute packaging!

Creamy and looking very pigmented in the swatch above.


Pardon the wonky eyes. The only thing I am impressed with is the color coverage for my dark circles. The color of the concealor does most of the concealing but the formula is a bit of a let down. I had to reapply a number of times for maximum coverage and even than the coverage wouldn't last for more than an hour. It slides on my skin and gets worse in hotter weather. Not sure if the texture is a little too creamy but I always have to set it with some powder.

Overall, I wouldn't purchase this product again and I've gone back to using Benefit's boi-ing concealor. It has better staying power and doesn't slide on my skin.

Hi Gorgeous Ones,

I know I know! I haven’t been updating as frequently as I used to but I haven’t been excited enough about any any beauty or skincare products and honestly I really needed a break. Well, the beauty junkie is back and it’s partly because of Clio’s latest Gelpresso range. Needless to say, I’m super impressed with the latest Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liners in Bloody Sweet, Bloody Angel and Bloody Devil.

The quality and make of the Gelpresso line is amazing. It’s creamy enough not to tug at lids during application and sets so well. Expect no smudging, vibrant color and super easy application with this waterproof pencil gel line.

 

I personally think Dara’s promo look is very daring, eye catching and current. I don’t have the guts to wear such bold looks out but I’ve adapted it to my own taste as you’ll see if you continue scrolling down. I was sent 3 unique and burgundy themed colors to review:

P5095315

13 Bloody Sweet

P5095322

14 Bloody Angel

P5095326

15 Bloody Devil

P5095311

P5095314

P5095325

I’ll let the swatches and the intensity of the colors speak for itself. Clio has a knack for selecting colors that flatter asian skin tones and that is something I adore. Many eyeliners I’ve tested in the market ( high and low end), look better swatched than applied. Well, with GELPRESSO expect:

1) Smoothness and staying power ( mine last all day through rain and sweat)

2)Easy and quick application ( as compared to gel liners in a pot)

3) Talc and paraben free formula is suitable even for sensitive skin

4) It can be used as an eyeshadow ( just smudge it before it sets)

5) Retractable auto pencil that allows easy application every time

My absolute favourite color has to be 15 Bloody Devil because it’s just so intense and vibrant. The shimmer does not get all over my face unlike a lot of other glitter eyeliner and trust me these colors may seem a little scary at first but they are actually very gorgeous and sophisticated when you wear them right. I highly recommend Clio Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner for sexy eyes. Bloody Sweet, Bloody Angel and Bloody Devil retail at 18.90 SGD at selected Watson Stores.

Hi Gorgeous Ones!

 

Have you guys ever tried Skin Food’s Rice Mask Wash Off ? It’s my first time trying their skincare products so I thought the best thing to do would be to test one of their popular skin care item that is made of rice.


This mask is a little strange. It doesn’t harden or peel off on the face. It’s kind of like a gentle exfoliator that can be washed off after scrubbing. I stumbled across reviewers online calling this a wash off mask. To me, it’s still works a lot like an exfoliator but an extremely gentle rice based one.



 


 

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Skin Food Rice Mask had little  to no scent and the real reason why I purchased it was because the sales girl who had super fair and smooth skin told me that she used it for whitening. Ok, I’m a total sucker.

So, what’s my verdict on this highly raved about wash off rice mask by Skinfood ?

It’s moisturizing, gentle and it has a slight brightening effect. I was recommended to use the mask twice a week but I kind of underestimated it and used it 4 times ( once every two days) since I bought it and my skin is reacting ** greedy greedy me!**. There are red bumps which are signs of irritation or incompatibility for my skin. I did not really get the kind of brightening results that the sales girl was raving about so it could be that it either takes more time to see more obvious results or it could just be a so la la product. It feels quite soothing nevertheless and I’m still going to use it as an exfoliating mask maybe twice a week to see if it makes a difference in a month or so. I’ll update if my skin continues to react negatively despite using it twice a week!
