TBS lipscuff

I have another lip scrub. I fell in love with the smell of mint.

This is in lipstick form so it’s really easy to apply. Plus it’s not so soft. It’s like butter after you take it out from the fridge, so it’s firm but easily transfer onto the lips.

It is only 2.5g or 0.08oz and its made in the USA. It cost S$19.90, so it’s really steep.

It works wonder. I apply it like a lipstick, then use my fingers to scrub it further. I have to really use a generous amount, so in the end, I feel like I use a lot of it for each use. I really love it though, but I don’t think I’ll ever repurchase it, unless its like 75% off or something.

Lancôme Génifique youth activator

SMU had their freshman camp last August?, and they gave this pamphlet for Lancôme serum sample collected at any Lancôme counter. So being a sample junkie, I dash out to collect them. I was with a friend and the first counter we went to, gave me back the pamphlet. But she took down my contact and details. Then we went to Isetan at Lido, this time Huimin took the sample. The SA took away the pamphlet though, so no chance for another friend to collect them. The sample was for a week trial, and Huimin took a couple and gave me the rest. I finally had a chance to use them after so long.
I do realized I have no shame, but hey, my skin is weird and I have not find any HG product, so samples are the way to go.

The more you use it, the better the results.

There are 7 reasons for you to try it.

Day 1: 100% of Singaporean women agree Genefique is easily absorbed into the skin. Yes, I agree too.
Day 2: Genefique boosts the efficacy of your following skin care products. Does it? I can’t really tell or to be more direct, how would I know? Everything seems the same.
Day 3: 9/10 SG women experienced more radiant and youthful skin. Not exactly.
Day 4: 96% experienced softer and smoother skin. Yes!
Day 5: More than 80% saw a more even-toned and luminous skin. I’m in the 20% I think.
Day 6: Skin’s suppleness improves by 71%.
Day 7: Youth proteins increase up to 60%. I wouldn’t know.

Looking at that, I don’t know if the product actually help me. I love it the first time I used it. It was awesome on my skin, gave such a good clean hydrated glowing overall finish.
It helps with the oil control for the day, as long as I don’t go out under the sun. I love the smoothness it gave after it is absorbed into my skin.

I feel that the wateriness and the texture is like Hada Labo. However, Genefique dried up pretty quickly, unlike the Hada Labo. It is also not sticky, even if you use too much of it.

For a 1ml sample per satchel, it can last me for 2 days. 2 and a half if I did not pour a lot. I only use in the morning so that’s .5ml per day. The bottle retail for $130 for a 30ml size. So I can use it for 2 months. $130 divide by 60 = $2.17 per day. That’s pricey.

I do have another Lancôme serum sample, which will be reviewed soon.

May Bellabox

My Bellabox for May came on the 10th. It was themed Ready for Cannes.

I really like the little sticker that hold the wrapper together
These are all the things I got this month. 5 + 2 bonus items. When I first open the box, I was quite shocked to get 7 stuff. I love it, the more the merrier, but I guess the value of each product should be less huh. I also finally got a makeup item, sort of. Do lipgloss count as makeup?

ZA skin beauty liquid foundation

This is a liquid foundation, one of the first few foundation I had. It doesn’t come in many shade, so I just choose the medium one. My skin used to be so clear and smooth, I do not need any coverage. But now, it’s a whole new world.

My adult skin is one big giant mess. Once you think the pimple is gone, it will be that time of the month, and another will pop up. It’s just a never ending cycle. Plus my pores are getting worse. So what used to be a thick full coverage for my skin, is now a thin coverage.

Which is why I always remember this as a thick coverage foundation until I tried it again recently. It goes on thin. Easy to blend. A true liquid foundation. Not much coverage but enough to gives you a touch of made-up on those lazy days. Probably lighter than tinted moisturizer.

I know it’s old and I’m suppose to throw away old foundation. But this doesn’t smell funny. It isn’t separated. Doesn’t have weird coloring. So I think I still can use it as it doesn’t break me out so far. So I guess I’ll use a bit more before I throw this away. I just do not want to go out there and choose foundation and the whole nine yard. I rather stick to my very few foundations I have now.

Obagi healthy skin protection

This is just a sunblock. I don’t see what’s so special about it. You can buy cheaper sunscreen out there.

I mean to be honest, it does leave your skin matte if apply in a right amount. But I always tend to use more than needed. I guess I like to slather it on. So it always give me a white film on my face. Furthermore, the matte doesn’t last very long. I feel that my face goes back to oily really quickly. But I know lots of people loves this.

If its not cause of the price, I’ll be more accepting to this product.

Maybelline gel eyeliner

I cave in and bought myself some gel eyeliner. Maybelline was on sale, so why not? Little do I realized, Essence has one that is cheaper and just as good. I still do not know how to wear eyeliner. Hooded eyes doesn’t help either. Sure there are some days when I’m lucky and I can apply them with little problem. Most of the time though, I just don’t want the risk of destroying the eyeshadow on my lids.
Nevertheless a beauty junkie need all kind of make up. So I decided to go all out and choose the black. Even though now I think about it, the brown will be better.

It’s just a normal gel container. Really small and cute. Come with a brush that I actually like. It glides on easily. Pretty pigmented. Not the blackest I’ve seen, but it’s still dark.

Lightly glide on and when pressed on.

As you can see, it smudge. That’s really sad.
On the eyes it’s pretty smudged proof. As in it doesn’t run. But I never rub my eyes, so I wouldn’t know. I never really wear it out, maybe just a couple of hours at most. So I wouldn’t know it’s staying power.

I love the look eyeliner gives on others, but I cannot pull it off. I’ll keep on practicing.

Vaseline healthy white perfect 10

I got this from Cozycot. They made you take some survey and gave you this whitening and anti-aging lotion to try out. It was their new body lotion back then. Two years ago, I think.

Lip boom in Doin’ Good

People from the UK will know who Alexandra Burke is. In fact, if you watch the X Factor, you’ll know who she is. But I don’t watch reality shows, so I got this not cause of her but I just wanted a matte lipstick.

I got mine in Doin’ Good. It’s a pretty light orange/brown.

Gatsby oil control film

So I have here 2 Gatsby oil control film. One is oil clear sheet and another is powdered oil clear paper. As you can see the difference is that one is powdered. I personally like the powdered one better as it can be use as a touch up. The oil clear one is basically just like the clean and clear one except its black in color. No major difference between the two.

The packaging of the two Gatsby one is rather different. Again I like the powdered one better. So I probably will just buy the powdered one when I ran out. I feel more refresh and clean using that. Well, cause you’ll be powdered and new again.
