Maybelline: Makeup Remover (Eye & Lip)

                                    Before shake                                                    After shake

The company claims that:

Efficiently removes all waterproof/ non- transfer makeup

I can't get my Loreal's Double Extension Curl Waterproof Mascara removed by using this product! How? It's so disappointed.. There are quite a number of You Tubers liking this product but I'm not. 

I probably will choose Shu Uemura cleansing oil to removes my entire face makeup because it works very well.

Price: RM 8.60

Dinair Airbrush: Personal 4 Speed Kit

The Dinair's Airbrush.. Price: RM 900+ (including shipping and tax). Actually there are another 4 more airbrush shades which I did not show in the picture above.

I was quite a crazy + mad + obsessive makeup junkies!!! When I get to know what is airbrush and the availabilities, I just go nuts~ Again, information can be easily access through You Tube Channel which is the best in the market and how to use it. I did surveys and waited for so so so long until the US currency value drop a little and at the same time there was a promotion which they offered buy one personal 4 speed kit and get 4 bonus airbrush shades (WHICH I THINK IS THE BEST OFFER THROUGH OUT THE YEAR OF 2011)

So, then.................. 

At last, I bought it~ Hehe..

Okay, Here is my thoughts:

 The company claims that:

The 4 Speed Compressor is for personal use, designed to support beauty makeup applications and proper cleaning. The 4 Speed Compressor comes in an exclusive Black color, which is scratch resistant and fits in the palm of your hand.

YES, small, convenient, scratch resistant...

 4 FOUNDATION SHADES, .25OZ.
Choose your shade range
Fair, Medium, Tan and Dark

I'm in shade category of medium.. Among 4 shades, only 'honey beige' (the lightest in the category) suit me best which I do not need to adjust with other shades. Sometimes I go for 'light golden beige' (2nd lightest) when I'm a little darker. The coverage is light and do not covers my hyper- pigmentation. If I apply heavier coverage, my face feels so mask- like and dry. Probably, I should buy their paramedic kit rather than this kit. 

 MOISTURIZER MOIST & DEWY
Spray-on Moisturizer

My face is oily in nature. I don't use this on my face routinely. But sometimes if my skin had patchy dry spots, I'll use it 1- 2 drops mixed with the airbrush shade. I did use it on my lips and it's okay. My lips does not chapped.

SHIMMER LIGHT BRONZE, 25OZ

 Works as bronzer or eyeshadow.. Not bad~ I rather use this as eyeshadow. shimmery bronzer just not suit my skin..

GLAMOUR DARK PEACH PINK, 25OZ

 Looks weird on my cheeks... too bright~ But looks okay on my lips. If I apply this to my cheeks, I'll mix it with my foundation shade to tone down a little.

CORRECTIVE  OLIVE BEIGE (tiny sample size)

It's a concealer. Great coverage and when I touch this product with my finger tip, it feels like so so creamy but does not oily. super impressed!

Even though a lots of people says it is easy for travel, I find that it is still troublesome to do my makeup looking for AC power supply.. I don't practice to bring it out of my home for my customers too. Overall, if I buy a set of airbrush in Malaysia, I probably cannot get nay cheaper than this. There's few brand I saw in the market but it cost about RM2000+  Still worth to try out and buy online. 

MAC: Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

My initial thoughts when I bought it on 13th Feb 2011..

MAC has great professional compact powder. This is one of the well known, Studio Fix.. It's so smooth without leaving a mask like feeling on my face. I've been using this quite sometimes and I find that the coverage is not thick, or I would say light.It is also leaves a feeling of blotting powder. I experienced the smoothy feeling last about 8 hours and this cost me RM105.

Today, 19th May 2012.. (updates)

 Em.. after I'd experimenting quite a lots of brands, I think the product do not worth to buy as you can get better than this product in drugstore lines, e.g. Loreal, Maybelline, Revlon, Majorlica Majorca, etc. Of course their prices are cheaper...

Skindinavia: No More Shine Makeup Finish (Oily Skin Formula)

I was looking for the best product to controls my oily skin to look greasy through out the day for quite sometimes till I get to know this product from You Tube Channel. The company of this product claims that most celebrities use Skindinavia Sprays at Grammy's Awards, e.g. Sandra Bullock. So, I thought why not give this a try~

The company claims that this product is..

Up to 16 hours controls shine and absorbs oil over face and t- zone while preventing makeup slippage.

 Well, I have to say YES but it did not last for 16 hours for me. Maybe about 6-8 hours for my t- zone. (I have very oily skin!)

For best results: Apply before and after makeup. Spray 2- 4 times in an "X" and "T" formation.

It doesn't work for me that way.. I've tried out this method but I feel like spraying only on top did not helps in controlling oil. 

I found my way how to make this stuff works. After spraying onto my face especially my t- zone, I used a makeup sponge to press into my skin. It works GREAT! For better result, I actually pat on a layer of powder foundation and it controls oily for even longer hours!!! 

Overall, I will re- purchase it but the shipping is expensive~ (Heartache) How I wish that I could find this at Malaysia... I know, I know... Sephora carries Urban Decay Cosmetics which they also had this manufactured by Skindinavia. But still expensive......

PRICE (not included shipping):

2oz ($19), 4oz ($29), and 8oz ($39)

Updated 31/8/12
Recently, I went to Hong Kong. Found the Skindinavia at Bonjour Cosmetic Shop and I bought the 4oz bottle at RM101. Well, still a little expensive but if I count including shipping will be almost there also.

Shui Yu Qing Cosmetics: Cream Eyashadows

 These are cream eyeshadows made from China. Price: RM15 per pot

There are super creamy, super opaque & pigmented, and super shimmery!!! If you don't have oily lids, you may use this by itself. I have quite an oily lids, so I use this as eyeshadow base. 

.

BH Liquid Eyeliner

 The original price of this pen is US$ 5.95. Most of the time you will able to get discount of > 10% depends on the promotion seasons. 

I can understand why this company having to do special discount price up to 50% or even sometimes you get it free. For me, I would like to invest my money to their brushes because for the price they are offering, it is worthy to buy such a high standard brushes. I don't feel to buy any palettes or others because they are just ordinary.

BH Cosmetics claims that it is:

 ..high-precision, long-lasting liquid eyeliner pen has a quick drying, smear-proof formula that will ease you into creating your perfect cat-eye or a lined & defined look.

These are my thoughts about it:

It is a medium hard felt tip with the length of 10mm & thickness (diameter) of 4mm from the base

 

 With a careful application, you can achieve a thin to thick line. As you able to tell from the picture, it doesn't appears dark enough in one stroke. Darkness can be build up by layering like others ordinary liquid eyeliner

 It doesn't smear after dried even I ran my finger over the drawn lines. I did spray some water on top and observed to be water resistant. Then I ran through my finger again they start to appear like the picture show above. It means that it is not waterproof.

 Immediate after application on my eyes, I notice that the inner corner of the line starts to crease at tiny folded skin. Well, maybe because of I have an oily lids.. 

Overall, for the price the company offered I think it is okay to have one. If  I would have to compare with Loreal's Lineur Intense in Carbon Black, I definitely will choose this even though it is not as black as the Loreal's one.

Coastal Scents: Brush Guard

 Remember when I first bought these 2 brush guard packs, I was so excited and happy because these claims to be holding the brush bristles in place and re- shape it after a wash. They claim that:

The Coastal Scents Brush Guard keeps your makeup brushes like new!
Em.. I don't feel so...


The Brush Guard is a stretchable, breathable tube which protects your makeup brushes in the following ways: 

While drying - bristles dry in perfect shape
 I don't find they helps in drying my brushes. In fact, they caused my brushes dries slower than usual!

In use - handle stays clean and grips better 
Em.. not practical to me..


In storage - no snags or squashing 
 Well, not really.. because my brush bristles stuck in between the net!

Do you see that? Tiny bristles stuck between the net!

On the move - perfect packing

 Well, if the bristles stuck between net while drying process, will you try to put this on your brushes to travel? I just can't get it~

Generally, I'm so disappointed with the product. I feel like been cheated to buy these especially the Liner Pack. It is like serve NO PURPOSE to me...

Price: US$ 4.95 (not included shipping)
