2016 Top 10 Favs!

First of all, I would like to wish all my precious readers a very Happy New Year! Welcome to the year 2017!!

In this post, I would like to go through my top 10 favorites from the year 2016 which some I have reviewed on. I have too many favs but I tried my best to bring in my most fav products for the year 2016 and these are the ones that made it to the top 10! Let's get on with it shall we!



Item no.10 - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water


The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water manage to make its way up to the top 10! I've been using this for a month and it's refreshing and hydrates the skin after using. This cleansing water does not contain any perfume which is suitable for sensitive skin too. On the plus side, it is pretty affordable too! Definitely worth trying.

Item no.9 - Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch


The skin around our eyes are the most sensitive area! Wrinkles or fine lines usually appears around the eye area first compared to other areas. The Hydrogel Eye Patch from Petitfee is currently my fav. I like keeping it in the fridge and use it twice a week as it helps to sooth and hydrates my eye area. It is very affordable too. It has 60 pieces so you can use it for 30x.

Item no.8 - Freeman Honeydew & Chamomile sleeping mask


I saw this while I was walking around Watsons. The first item from Freeman I've used was the cucumber peel off mask that my friend sent me from the states and I love it so I decided to try out it's sleeping mask too. I didn't have high expectation when I tried on this product but surprisingly it's super hydrating and light. It smells great because of the honeydew. I usually use this when I'm too lazy or busy to put on mask so wearing this before I go to bed is an alternative choice.

Item no.7 - Neogen Green Tea Cleansing Foam


I absolutely love this cleanser cause it pumps out foam which is super convenient! It also has green tea leaves at the bottom of the bottle. However it is my no.7th fav because it seems like I run out of cleanser very fast. I've only used it for a month and I'm left with a quarter solution and the dispenser doesn't reach the bottom. Nonetheless, it's a great cleanser.

Item no.6 - White head remover (Vietname or Thailand product Im not sure)


To be honest I have no idea where this products originated from but it's seen selling in cube stalls in the mall. It removes white head and black heads just like the normal strips except this comes in liquid form and a separate piece of paper for it. My aunt told me it's a great product and I didn't believe her at first. However, I love it after using it once. It literally removes all the white and blackhead better than those expensive nose strips. You gotta see it to believe it!


 Yes, it's gross! I KNOW!! LOL!

Item no.5 - Mask Sheet from The Face Shop


The sales lady told me it was new in faceshop when I went to renew my membercard so I decided to get a few and I love it. It has a thin cotton sheet with lots of essence. Mask sheet is a MUST in your daily life! LOL! I use it twice a week.

Item no. 4 - April Skin Magic Cushion 2.0


If yall have been following my blog, you'll know that I recently started using this. It's been a few weeks and so far I'm loving the coverage of this BB Cushion. Although I'm not a fan of the cushion or puff but I still love using this when I'm in a rush. Definitely worth trying this item. To check out the review for this product. CLICK HERE!

Now, let's move on to my top 3 favorite product for the year 2016! These are the 3 products that I have to carry with me every time I travel. These are the must item in my everyday life!

Top no.3 - Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Watery Toner


I've used different kinds of toner before this and nothing seems to be working for me. It either cause me breakouts, enlarged pores or redness but this toner is not your typical water liquid toner. This toner seems to be more of a gel type but turns into liquid once applied on skin. It comes in a glass bottle too and I'm loving it! LOL! It is not that pricey, smells good and it's very hydrating.

Top no.2 - Miss En Scene Perfect Repair Hair Serum


I have been bleaching my hair and coloring it since I left high school so my hair is a tiny bit, well not tiny bit but VERY MESSED UP! It's dry and split ends everywhere and not even treatment can help it. So I decided to get this hair serum to see whether it works to keep my hair shiny and bouncy and yes! It really works to keep my hair less frizzy and looking healthier. It smells great too! So Yes! Whenever I travel, this has to be in my pouch!

Top no.1 - Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence


Lastly, my fav item for the year 2016 which I cannot survive without it the Missha's time revolution essence. I have been using this essence for a year now and it does wonders to my skin. It helps with my breakouts, dry skin and acne scars. It's a little bit pricey but it's definitely worth including this into your daily routine. This pretty much helps to clear my skin, it's like magic! LOL! You can also include a few drops into your foundation in the morning for a dewy look and it also keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. 

*

There you have it my top 10 favorite product for the year 2016! I've been using all the above products for a while now and I definitely love them all. Once again I would like to wish all my loyal and beautiful/handsome readers out there a Happy New Year and 2017 will be a great year!

[Review] Magic Snow Cushion 2.0 New Black Cushion


I'm sure most of you out there heard of April Skin Magic Snow Cushion but if you haven't, you will now! The hype has been going around for quite awhile now due to it's magical coverage! So, today I will be doing a review on the latest version of the Cushion Compact! 

It was my birthday few days ago and my mom heard that I've always wanted to try this cushion so she decided to get it for me. XD


Magic Snow Cushion 2.0 New Black Cushion


There's 3 types of cushion from April Skin and it depends on which one you personally prefer.

The cushion perfect coverage cushion is infused with 45% water-based which provides a moisturizing coverage. It provides a flawless and velvet complexion.


It comes in 3 different shades and I got it in no. 22 which is Pink Beige which appears to be more pinkish than I thought. But it works on my skin so it's fine.




It comes with a Mochi cushion that helps to retain most of the foundation when it's pressed on. 

The cushion has SPF 50+/PA+++ along with blueberry extract, mineral water and aloe vera leaf extract. 

Scent

It smells sweet. I think it is due to the blueberry extract. It's fairly nice and it is not over powering.

Coverage

To be honest, the coverage of this cushion is just average. With just one layer, you may not be able to cover scars or redness. You have to apply a second layer to have a better coverage. If you have a very oily skin, layering on foundation is not a great idea as it cakes up. Same goes to dry skin as it will look flaky. But it is definitely better than the 1st generation.

Price

I purchased it for RM100.70 ( BND $33.57) incl GST at KIODA Parkson. It is a little bit pricey as it is only 15g without refill.

Moisture

It is very moisturizing when applied onto my skin. I don't feel it tugging on my skin as I apply but my skin seems to be a little dry when I tried it on so it's a little flaky but that'll be gone after a little exfoliation.

Stickiness

It is not sticky at all. Even after applying 2 layers it is not sticky. It gives off a matte finish.

Changing refills



It is very easy to change it's refill. Open up the case and give the bottom a slight press and it comes right off.

*Do take note that the refill for the older version is not compatible with the mew Magic Snow Cushion 2.0

Claims

1. Flawless Coverage
- Yes, it does gives a very natural finish with great coverage but 2 layers have to be applied to achieve the flawless look if you want to cover dark pigmentation and scars.

2. Moisturizing texture
- Yes, it is very moisturizing. It does not dry up your skin.

3. Smooth application
- Yes, it does not tug on my skin at all. Gently pat with the cushion instead of rubbing on it.

4. It is not sticky!
- Yes, it is not sticky as it dries up pretty fast.

PROS

1. It smells great.
2. Does what it claims.
3. Covers up my pores.
4. It last quite a while and it is very moisturizing.
5. Easy to carry in your purse. 
6. Love the new packaging. Air tight.
7. Suitable for people who are always rushing. Just give it a few pats and you're done. 

CONS

1. I'm pretty concern with the hygiene because of the cushion puff. I think keeping the puff clean is very important to prevent bacteria transfer.
2. It is only 15g which only last up to 2 months with daily usage.

I think that's pretty much it with the CONS. I couldn't find much disadvantage of this cushion. I would like to try more cushion foundation in the future.

Ratings

Price - 4/5 It is affordable during SALES.
Hygiene - 2/5 I personally do not like the idea of patting my face and transferring dust from my face back to the cushion.
Packaging - 4/5 Simple sleek black compact
Claims - 4.5/5 Does what it claims!

Will I repurchase this?
- Yes I will repurchase this cushion but in no.23 as I think no.22 is a little too pink. I would purchase the white and pink version too. To check out the differences.

Where to purchase?

You can purchase it through YESSTYLE if you are from other country.

[Review] |ETUDE HOUSE| Precious Mineral BB Cream

Finally my first review as promised on my 1st post earlier last year. So today I'll be doing a review on Etude House's Precious Mineral BB Cream, All Day Strong. I will be doing on BB Cream #3 Sheer Flawless Skin. 

BB Cream is pretty famous among almost everyone in the world. For those who may not know what BB means, here's what it meant. BB stands for Blemish Balm as a all-in-one base that give you coverage, sun protection, whitening and most other purposes. It contains about 80% of skin-healing ingredients. So let's get started.

Weigh:60g


As for this BB Cream, it provides purposes such as anti-wrinkle, Whitening and also Anti-Darkening along with a SPF/30PA++.

Description
Precious Mineral BB Cream promotes silky complexion and brightened look with pearl infused sheer coverage improved SPF protection with a hypoallergenic and oil-free formulas.

Packaging
Just like any other etude house BB Cream packaging it comes in a tube along with a pump dispenser. The tube of the BB Cream itself is almost pinkish to purple. 






I love how it comes in a pump dispenser, it is pretty hygienic as you pump it onto your fingers without contaminating the rest of the BB Cream.

Swatches without flash from BBcream itself to slightly swatch then to blended to my skin.
With flash.

SCENT & TEXTURE
As for the scent, it has a floral scent, not too strong, just nice almost the same as most other BB Cream. It has more of a pinkish undertone. It may be suitable for most people with fair skin. It has a heavy coverage for the purpose of dealing with redness and blemishes. Concealer may not be needed due to it's high level of coverage but may be optional depending on user. The blending process is pretty easy as the BB Cream is easy to blend onto the skin covering pores easily creating a shorter time in your make up routine.

WHEN IN USE.
Although this BB Cream may be for all skin types but I personally think it is the most suitable for Dry/Combination types. It creates more of a dewy finish as seen on above picture. Although it may seem too pink but BB Cream is known to oxidize over a period of time. In within minutes, it would be even with your original skin tone.

PROS
- Great amount of coverage
-SPF30/PA++
-Contains skincare such as Anti-Wrinkle, Whitening and Anti-Darkening.
-helps brighten up the skin.
-stays on the skin for a long period of time/does not need retouch.
-available almost everywhere store/online.
-nice packaging
-smells decent
-comes in a pump dispenser/hygienic purposes
-large tube of 60g

CONS
-could be easily wiped off especially when you sweat.
-due to the weather I am in(Brunei Hot/Wet) it gets oily easily around my T-zone area as I am a combination skin person so blotting paper is necessary once a while. 
Other than this, I couldn't think of any other cons from this BB Cream as this is my absolute favourite.
