Etude House Secret Beam Highlighter

Etude House
Secret Beam Highlighter

Pros: Effective, affordable
Cons: None

After reading positive reviews of this product, I decided to give it a try.

They have 2 choices - pink and orange. I bought the orange one as the sales girl said that the colour pink one will be too light for my skin tone.

Love this product. This is a must use product whenever I put on make up. As you can see from the pictures, it consists of several different colours. But when it is used on skin, it really highlights my features and brightens us my look.

However, like all highlighters, just brush lightly on the product will do... Overdoing it will make your face glitter. I have overdone it once and my boyfriend asked "What did you put on your face? Why are there golden glitters?" =X

I will definitely recommend and repurchase this product. It is effective and inexpensive. =D

SilkyGirl
Funky Eyelight Pencil (Frosty Silver)

Pros: Creamy, Shimmery, inexpensive, pigmented
Cons: Not very waterproof

I use this for my lower waterline. It is very pigmented and creamy, glides on really easily. It is able to stay for about 4-6 hours. However, after that, when my eyes gets watery (due to yawning), it starts to smudge a little (not as bad as L.A. Girls eyeliner).

As seen in the pictures, its colour is very nice metallic and shimmery silver =).

Though it does smudge a little after hours of wearing, it is still a product worth buying as it is inexpensive, and its colour is suitable for lower waterline.

L.A. Girls Eyeliner (Black)

L.A. Girls
Eyeliner (Black)
Price: $5.90

Pros: Inexpensive, pigmented
Cons: Smudges

This was my first black eyeliner. It is pigmented and goes on to skin easily.

However, few hours after application, it will smudge easily. I wore this to my company's Dinner and Dance. As I have oily eyelids, when I sneeze, it smudes from my upper eyelids to my lower eyelids.. giving me "panda" eyes..

I did not use this product again after the incident.

SilkyGirl Long-Wearing Eyeliner

SilkyGirl
Long-Wearing Eyeliner (Black Brown)

 

Pros: Inexpensive, don't require sharpening (convenient), natural, goes onto skin smoothly, pigmented
Cons: None

This is a crayon eyeliner. It goes onto skin easily, and as its name suggests.. It does last for hours without smudging (unlike L.A. Girls eyeliner).

Sharpening is not required as we can turn it out, instead of having to sharpen. It is pigmented and gives a natural and soft line.

This product is worth buying as it is convenient and does a great job.

SilkyGirl Double Intense Gel Eyeliner

SilkyGirl
Double Intense Eyeliner (002 Dark Brown)
Price: $14.90
                                                                                   

Pros: Inexpensive, long wearing, does not smudge easily, packaging, pigmented
Cons: None

Although this is my first gel eyeliner, I think this is a really great product. This product is wisely designed for convenience of its user - the cover for the bottle is also the cover for the brush... (this product consists of 3 parts)... Unlike other gel eyeliners where the brush and bottle are kept separately.

The last picture was taken after 12 hours of wearing.. it did not smudge or fade at all!!! I expected it to fade a bit.. due to its low price.  When using the samples at Watsons, I thought that it will be impossible to draw a fine line with the brush. However, after using it, I realized that it is not difficult at all.. I love the brush as it is able to give a defined and softer line, as compared to liquid eyeliners. The content is easily picked up by the brush and goes on to skin easily.

Dark brown gives a more natural look. However, for more wild and noticeable makeup, black will be more apt.

I will definitely repurchase this product again as it is a cheaper alternative, yet impressive.  I'd like to try pure black when this bottle finishes. =)

POND'S cold cream (9.5OZ/269g)

POND'S cold cream (9.5OZ/269g)

the cool classic

deep cleans and remove makeup

Price: $6.50

This is my first makeup remover. I feel that it does help to remove makeup to a certain extent, depending on which makeup product I am using.

Its description stated that it is able to remove stubborn mascaras. However, I have to use it several times before the real stubborn ones can be totally removed. Sometimes, I will give up on trying to use this product to remove all of it and use an eye makeup remover instead.

It is good in a way that it doesn't make my skin feel tight or dry - as stated on the bottle.

Overall, I think it is an OK product. I will still continue to use it until I find a better alternative.

Bio-essence Bio multi effect BB cream (30g)

SPF25/PA++

8 in 1

(Concealing, Sun Block, Skin Repair, Moiturizing, whitening, Oil Control, nourishment, reduction of wrinkles and lines)

Creates flawless, natural makeup with charm

Price: $28/-

It has a shiny purple and silver attractive packaging. I bought this BB cream as it claims to have all the benefits that I am looking for.

Some of the benefits which attracted me are:

- REFINES PORES and whitens complexion

  Yes.. After applying,. it did minimize the look of pores. However, I haven't seen much different after I 

  remove it. Perhaps I haven't used it long enough.

- IMPROVE SKIN TEXTURE for smoother, softer, REFINED and fairer skin

  Yes... it gives me a smoother, evenly toned and a perfect skin after applying.

- Provides long lasting hydration to prevent dryness and REGULATES OIL SECRETION.

  It did help to control shine oiliness. I do not have to blot my face at all!!! This is the first product that is able

  to do this.

Other benefits include

- Smooth velvety texture to provide a natural and flawless finishing

-Nourishes skin with the natural nutrients and mineral elements to revitalize skin

- Protects skin from harmful UV rays

I have used half tube of it and have put it aside for about 4 months. Now, it has water in the tube. Everytime when I want to squeeze some BB cream out, ithere will be few drops of water coming out first. Don't know why is that so.

Overall, I feel that this product is worth buying as it has a reasonable coverage, able to act as a makeup base which benefits our skin at the same time. It has a reason price and doesn't cause outbreaks.
