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!

Nail Polish Collections


Nail Polish Collections

Hello everybody!! It's been a while since I've update this site. I do update my personal blog if you follow me HERE . If yall follow me at Snapchat or Instagram @ KimmmyLoo you'll know that I love nail polishes the most and have tons of them! So with that, I decided to customize a rack for it and it's finally done! I've been dying to get my hands on it and it's finally ready and up on my wall.

I personally love collecting nail polishes and painting my nails whenever I'm free. I don't get it from a single brand only but I get it from any brand that I come across. It's pretty much a side hobby I enjoy whenever I'm bored. Maybe it will turn out to be a career in the future? Who knows?



What I have here is from Etude House, Nature Republic, The Face Shop, Skin food, Holika Holika, SASA and a few random ones as gifts from others.

I have so many bottle of polishes, sometimes i lost track of what colour I have or forgot how it looks like on my nails so I constantly have to try it on to see how the colour looks like on my nail. Getting annoyed with it, I decided to get some false nail sets from Ebay for about USD $1.70. I have the colour swatches on it to make my life easier rather than wasting cotton and nail polish remover. 


So far my favourite one is from Nature Republic and Face Shop. The way the brush length and shape is, it is pretty easy to apply. It has a pretty thick consistency too so 1 layer is enough usually.

Separately I have a box to put all my other nail stuffs. I didn't want everything to lie around my table or get tons of containers stacking it one by one to put everything in so I was complaining to my mom about it so she got me this tool box kit and I love it. I keep my stamping kit, dotting tools, nail files, clippers, nail swatches, base coat, top coat, nail thinner and a few other things in there so everything is at reach when I need it.

That's all from my nail polish collections. Stay tune for more updates~

[Review] The Faceshop - Lovely Me:Ex Catch My Eyeliner #01 Black

It's been a while beautiful reader~ I'm back with a new review. It's the Faceshop Lovely Me:Ex Catch My Eyeliner in #1 Black. I am super picky when it comes to auto pencil eyeliner and if I am reviewing it in a positive way that means it is really worth it!


I didn't know about this product until I went for a little shopping spree last week to update my shelf. The beauty haul can be seen HERE  I did get the brown one too but decided to do a review on the black one. However, if you decide to go with a softer look, get the brown one as the black one gives a stronger effect on your eyes.

The last eyeliner that I fell in love with was from Holika Holika but they are no longer being manufactured. >.< However, I found a new Auto-Pencil eyeliner from Faceshop that has similar consistency as my previous eyeliner. 


Lovely My:Ex Catch My Eyeliner has 2 ends. One end is the sponge tip used to create a smoky effect. It is super convenient to blend the liner without bringing a separate blending tool. The other end is the auto liner.

With a little twist you get to adjust the length of the eyeliner.

To show you the colour, I tested it out on the back of my hands. It is super pigmented and creamy. You do not need to apply much force to create a fine line.

Sponge on the other end of the tip to help blend out the eyeliner to create a smokey effect.

Smudge/smokey effect after using the sponge tip.


PROS

- Convenient because of the two way liner. Do not need a separate blending brush to create the smokey effect.

- It is very pigmented and creamy. Easy to apply

- It is not too expensive. Around BND$14.90 - 10% member's discount.

- It is easy to blend.

- It is available at all Faceshop branch. ( I hope they don't stop manufacturing it or I guess I should return to get a few more. LOL )

- Can last a long time due to the length available.

CONS

- It is not waterproof.

- Gets smudge throughout the day turning you into a panda! To avoid this, I suggest using an eye primer.

- The eyeliner may break if it falls, so avoid dropping your eyeliner.

SUGGESTION

This is a pretty decent auto-pencil eyeliner to get for a beginner trying to learn how to apply eyeliner. It is cheap and easy to apply This could be use as a guideline before applying on liquid liner. Due to it's consistency, it is easy to be applied especially on the water line, it makes your eyes pop resulting in bigger looking eyes.

RATINGS

Price - 7/10
It is pretty cheap after discount so I guess it's a good deal.

Package - 8.5/10
It comes with two ends so I love it!

Product - 8.5/10
It is pigmented and creamy that calls for easy application. 

Would I get it again if it runs out?

Yes, for sure I would return to get it again but at the mean time I'll continue to hunt for a better auto-pencil eyeliner. 

The end of my review. Stay tune for more updates.

Cheers,
Kimmy

March Favorites! 2015

Hello everyone! Starting this month, at the end of very month I'll be posting up a list of my favorite things this month. It may be books, food, beauty products, facial products or any other things I love for the month! So let's check out what my March Favorites are!

So, this month my list of favorites are :


Nivea Body In-Shower Skin Conditioner. 

I recently picked this up from Watsons due to the latest promotion going on. It's a body lotion that is applied in the shower, a little bit like a conditioner for your body, works the same way as hair conditioner, leaving it on your body for a few minutes then washing it off. 

I usually forget to apply lotion when I get out of the shower during the day because I'm always rushing out to school then during the day my skin gets dry and sometimes it itches. Thanks to Nivea's in shower body lotion, it helps me save much more time and it clearly helps to moisturize my skin without having the need to apply body lotion again. 

After a week of using this in shower skin conditioner, I can obviously feel the difference of my skin through out the day, my skin felt more moisturize and it doesn't itch as much. 


Garnier Aqua Defense.

My second favorite of the month is Garnier's Aqua Defense Moisturizer. As you all know, I have pretty dry skin but after that my skin starts to turn oily. I was recently introduced by a friend to this moisturizer and it did help a lot. 

I usually apply this when I go to bed, applying a thin layer goes a long way. It has a fresh minty scent to it and leaves a tingling sensation on your skin. It's been a while since I started using this product and it's been doing it's hydrating job on my skin. I feel less oily when I wake up in the morning. Thumbs up for this product.


Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Base Essence.

UV IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SKIN!!! I love love love love loveeeeeee this product the most out of all UV products I have tried in my whole 20 years of living! LOL! So this is a sunscreen from Biore and it is on SPF 50+ PA+++

The reason why I love this product is because of all the sunscreens I have tried, it left my skin sticky and oily throughout the day along with sweat in the hot weather, this product doesn't do that. It is a watery essence and it doesn't feel sticky at all. It's the same as applying water on your face. Massive love for this product. (Reviews will be up in the next blog post)


H&M Smoky Eyes hadow and Face Shop Catch My Eyeliner.

H&M Smoky Eye shadow palette have 5 different shades in a palette which a friend of my got me from the States as it is not available here. The last color comes in a shade of dark brown which could be use for daily outings to school, hanging out with friends or whatever you wanna do. It made it's way into my March Favorites because it is easy to carry around in your bag, you can turn from day out with friends with a simple color, to party night with smoky makeup with the other shades available.

Eyeliner from Face Shop also made it into my March favorites as it has a sponge at one end and the other end where your eyeliner is. You can use the sponge to smudge your liner if you're going for a softer look instead of a thick liner. It stays on for a long period of time too despite the weather I'm staying at. (Likes!)


These are the few of my findings this month and I fell in love with those products after a few times using it. If you want me to review the products that are mentioned above, just drop me a comment and I'll be sure to post it up~~ Stay tune for more post and come back at the end of April to check out my favorites next month~

[Review] The Face Shop Rice Cleansing Water.

Hellow everybody!! Im back with another review after a short hiatus. So everyone knows how to put on make up but do you remove it properly or do you just wash your face and jump straight to bed? So I went shopping the other day and I happen to come across this makeup remover. Usually most makeup remover comes in either cream or oil, but for this, it is actually in water base which doesn't clog your pores or make you feel icky and oily. So let's get started~~


PACKAGING.
As you can see from the picture, it comes in a plastic tube along with a pump which is an A+ for me. Instead of poking your fingers into a container or placing your cotton onto the top of the container, a pump is more hygienic as you do not need to touch the tip of the pump.

TEST.
Moving on to how effective this makeup remover really is. I've prepared some experiments to test it on. Here on my hands I have blusher, foundation/bbcream, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow.

1 pump onto your cotton and gently rub the cotton over your face, lips or eyes although the instruction says not to use it on eyes but I can say it's safe for your eyes. Gently place the cotton pad on the eyelids and wipe outwards to prevent it from entering your eyes. In the bottom picture, you can see the results.

 Result from 1st wipe.


Result from 2nd wipe and you can obviously see the difference. I can say it did a pretty good job removing most of the make up. After wiping, it does not feel sticky or oily. With rice as part of its ingredients, it also help to provide you a brighter skin.

Ratings 8/10 
I just wish it comes in a bigger bottle. This is at 145ml at $18.90. Available at all Faceshop outlet. This tend to sell out quicker than their rice cleansing cream and oil. 
Yes, I will repurchase this again once I run out of makeup remover.
