Maybelline AngelFit Perfect Concealer(Light Beige) Review

MAYBELLINE ANGELFIT PERFECT CONCEALER
in Light Beige


2 shades available : Light Beige & Natural Beige. Chose Light Beige. It is a slightly creamy liquid concealer. ok i dont know how to describe it -__-


How the applicator looks like


Before & After Picture

before picture : tired puffy dark eye x__x


after : brightened fresh-looking eye ^^ lol.

comparison
sorry but as you can see from the reflection of my eye, the sky is brighter in the After picture. Hence, my skintone is brighter as a result. It is not entirely because of the concealer, its due to the change in lightning. But nevertheless, you can see how my undereye circle is brightened right? even with the change of lights, you can still tell the difference. :) my after picture looks more awake! :o i dont know why my eyelid is bigger in the before picture o.o and my puffy eye appearance is not that obvious too in the after picture. Coverage is build-able but try not to apply too much, or else it'll end up cakey. Make sure to moisturizes your eye too before wearing concealer to prevent it to look cakey. I dont wear eye creams, so it look a bit cakey on me if i wear too much or didnt blend it well. & it doesnt really conceal my other imperfections that well(acne scar, redness, etc)

Anyway, price is very affordable. I think it costs around B$10 only? Im sure no more than B$10. Bought from Guardian. I wish they would update their Maybelline products :(

Holika Holika Dark Circle Stealer Goggle Eye Mask Review

Holika Holika Dark Circle Stealer Goggle Eye Mask


Innovative cooling eye mask soothes tired, puffy eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles, helping your skin look more youthful.


The eye film is covered between two protective sheets. it is a thick jelly-looking eye mask(how can i properly explain this? -__- )


it is hard to positioned it well :S but this is how it looks on me.


throughout the process, my eyes were itchy and in the end, i opened the eyelid pocket mask thing so that the mask only covered my undereye.


i leave on for 20 minutes. it is recommended to leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, but i cant bear to leave it on for another 10 minutes cause my eyes were suffering :( did it 'steal' my dark eye circle? NO :( i didnt had high hopes for this, cause i know its really hard to find a good eye mask. let alone, an effective way to get rid of puffy eyes -__-

it costs B$6.90 and i regret buying this because my eye now has this little transparent bump thing right after i peel the mask off. thats why it was itchy :( it didn't do what it claims at all. i know i've only tried this once, but for $6.90, a person must be crazy to use this often. maybe its just me, but i hate it if something cost like this doesnt give instant results. its okay if it costs $1 or $2, then its fine to buy at least 4 of them. but for $6.90, its not worth the price ;(

sorry Holika Holika, but this one is a no no for me :P but i'd definitely try other holika holika products! the mascara wand got my attention but i rarely wear mascara -___- ughhhh. 

btw i didnt include a before and after pictures because its useless :( and why suddenly my english sucks? oh holidays -__-

WHAT'S IN MY BAG?
this blog post was inspired by Shely's post haha. go see whats in her bag!

this is my current favorite bag! ok its actually my mum's, but she never wears it! i think my sister gave it to her when she went to Singapore.. so, im wearing it now since its pretty lonely. hee goodlife :-D its a Louis Vuitton but i dont think its an original haha. i dont think my sister would spend thousands of dollars for a bag =.= but its really good quality and doesnt looks fake at all. so, i think its an AAA Grade :D not sure cause i dont know the price hehe. at least its wearable and safe :P

the inside is really cute! pink + white is one of my fav color combination!


the only thing i dont like about the bag is that it can be uncomfortable to bring because you have to hand it like a brief bag -__- which is tiringgg! so i only use it when i want to look pretty lol. but other days, i use this bag below! its a sling bag and its really comfortable! i use this when i want to look casual. 

so whats in it anywaaays? :P 
first up, i always bring my contact lenses kit. but lately i dont use lenses anymore cause im lazy to clean it. but its still in my bag :/


of course, make up bag.


inside my makeup bag: scrunchie, comb, tweezer, mini bbcream, eyeliner, vitress hair thingy, skin79 lip/cheek cream, Silky Girl brown eyeshadow. these are all i need to touch up my makeup. haha. i dont use that much makeup anyway.


in my bag, i also store Victoria Secret Pure Seduction body mist(heavy!), Clean & Clear oil control film, Pendrive, Candies and like Shely, Johnson's Baby Powder!

Skin79's Vital Orange BB Cream Review

Skin79's Vital Orange BB Cream


this is the latest BB Cream by Skin79. It is from Super + Beblesh Balm series, standing next to Hot Pink and VIP Gold. It is said to be an ungraded version of the best-seller Hot Pink, with ECO- FRIENDLY INGREDIENT + VITAMIN COMPLEX+ SYNERGY EFFECT+ COVERAGE UP (with original light texture)+ENHANCED HIGH QUALITY+ HIGHER SUNSCREEN PROTECTION SPF 50++ ENHANCED UV PROTECTION PA ++



Main ingredients : Adenosin(Helps diminish wrinkles), Arbutin(Whitening), Vital-V Complex(Vitality & Brightening), ECO-oil MX(Hydrating & Soothing), Chamomile Extracts(Moisturizing & Soothing), Argania Spinosa Shell Oil(Nourishing)




Upgraded sunscreen that prevents skin discoloration and skin aging with UV A and B sun protection, a triple function BB cream that makes skin bright and smooth, strengthens skin's overall protection capacity and blocks melanin formation while giving elasticity to sagging skin.

Phytosphingosine and Ceramide as similar ingredients to skin can strengthen skin's NMF and maintain balanced skin condition. OSMOPUR-N and Vital-V Complex soothe and protect skin from various harmful environments to make a moisturized, healthy skin.

Soft, moist texture with W/S component is absorbed into outer skin layer while excellent adhesion and sustainability make skin transparent and clean


COLOR SWATCHES

compare with Hot Pink and VIP Gold, Vital Orange obviously has a lighter color.
Picture above is an instruction on how to use it. You need to supply enough hydration if you have dry skin to avoid the bb cream look cakey on you. A little does go a long way, so put on little amounts of bb cream first and apply more to build coverage. You wont need to use foundation after the bbcream because the bb cream provides a matte finish. Its important to carefully blend in the bbcream to go for a natural look. This bbcream is for all skin types.
below is my Before & After picture

i also include a video on how i achieved the finished look



sorry the video wasnt clear enough like the pictures! i dont know why its blurry and lighter when its uploaded :( i cant expand the size, or else it'll get more blurry. so im sorry! i'd do a better video next time! i shouldve use my camera to tape this instead of my laptop -__- but you can see the difference right? yes i have ugly pimples and scars on my forehead :( thank god it doesnt really show on the video haha. the video was taken before i went for a job interview. please pray for me that i'll get the job T-T it pays really well. that way, i can sponsor a generous giveway for my loyal readers :'P

update: ok i fixed the video, hope its clear enough!

Coverage : ♥♥♥ (it provides a good enough coverage. it has a better coverage than Hot Pink and VIP Gold)
Smell : ♥♥ (it has a hint of smell when you first put in on. if im not mistaken, it smells like 'orange'. but it quickly goes away)
Packaging : ♥♥♥♥♥ (hygenic and easy to let little amount of cream out)
Texture : ♥♥ (heavy than the other two bbcream. a bit hard to blend it in, just takes more effort)
Shade : ♥♥ (lightest among the other two. may leave a pale grey undertone finish if you put too much or if your skintone is dark)
Finish : ♥♥♥♥ (matte finish)
Oil Control: ♥♥♥♥ (since it has a matte finish, the oil control is good enough for me)

overall, i really like the results, but my favorite bb cream(for now) is still the Diamond Prestige! it evens out my skintone really well. i would still recommend this as it has a better coverage, but im not sure if this suits people with darker skintones :/ 

Price : B$46.90(i think this is member price? please correct me!). you can share your thoughts on this bb cream!
