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

Posted by Kimm | Labels: , , , , ,

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

[Review] Chia Seeds

Posted by Kimm | Labels: , , , ,

Hey there beautiful people! It's been a while and now I'm back with a new post. It all about the Chia Seed I was talking about on my April Fave's post! Here's why I love Chia Seeds so much!


I was introduced to Chia Seeds by a friend so my mum got me this pack of Chia Seed from Malaysia Cosway. The seeds are from Mexico and Bolivia but it was packed in Malaysia. It has a shelf life of approx 2 years and it comes in a big package at 500g which can last you a long time.


The seeds comes from Salvia Hispanica plant and it contains high level of Omega-3 fatty acids and are rich in antioxidant. The fifer rich seeds contains nearly 7 grams of fiber every 25g intake. The seeds comes in 3 different colour, mostly black, white and brownish 

Directions.

Take 1-2 tablespoons (10-20g) of Chia Seeds daily. You may consume it on its own, add it into your favourite beverage, into your cereal, yogurt, salad or into any other food.

Ways to prep Chia Seeds.


For this post, I grab a tablespoon of chia seed and added water to it, but usually, I put the seeds straight into my water, juice or whatever beverages I choose to have. 

You may also add 1/3 cups of seeds to 2 cups of water and store it into your refrigerator up to one week. Take one or two spoonful and add it into whatever your choice is. It does not affect the taste of your food but it does increase its nutritional value. 



After a few minutes the chai seed absorbs water and creates a gel like substance around it. The seeds can absorb up to 12x their size. 

Benefits of Chia Seeds.

- Chia seeds are anti-oxidants. Anti oxidants fights the productions of free radicals, which can damage molecules in cells and contribute to ageing and diseases like cancer. 

- Chia Seeds are also known to help lose weight. The fiber absorbs large amount of water and expands in the stomach which should increase fullness and slow the absorption of food. It helps to reduce your appetite and food intake. 

- It is easy to incorporate into your diet. Just add the seeds into any beverages or food. 

- Replace eggs with chia seeds that helps reduce the cholesterol. It helps to thicken sauce when its gel forms around the seeds. 

- High level of Omega-3 which helps reduce inflammation, enhance cognitive performance and reduce high cholesterol. 

Taste

It's tasteless but it smells like tea.

Price.

Rm29.90 per pack, Available at Cosway outlet.

Rating

9/10
 I would definitely buy it again once I finish this pack.

That's it for my review on the Chia Seed, I'll be back with more things to introduce to yall! Peace!

April Favorites! 2015

Posted by Kimm | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It's the end of the month again!! Sorry for not updating since the last post. I've been busy cramming for assignments throughout the week but I still managed to have an update on April's Favorites before it ends~ Here are the things I favor the most on April!


Aloe Moist Full Soothing Mist.

So far among all mist that I've tried throughout the year, I finally come across a mist from Etude House that moisturizes my face throughout the day and its the Aloe Soothing Mist. It does not leave any oily residue like most mist does.

It is enriched with Baobab Tree extracts, Organic Aloe and Organic Herb supplies that instantly moisturize and relieves out skin. Due to its size, it is easy to bring around so I usually carry it in my bag whenever I leave the house. Mostly I apply it every 2 hours to keep my skin moisturize.

Whole Chia Seed.

I was introduced to Chia Seed from a friend of mine and I've been loving it. Here's a little background on Chia Seeds. It is a flowering plant in the mint family. Chia is grown commercially for its seeds, a food that is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. They are usually in brown, black and white colour. The seeds can absorb 12x their size when soaked. After soaking to its full size, it forms a mucus like gel on the outer area.

There are a few benefits to including Chia Seeds into your diet. That includes it being a natural treatment for type-2 diabetes, more fiber, omega-3, stronger teeth and bones, helps you get full faster, fight belly fats and others. 

I tend to drink more water when I add Chia Seeds into my drink. I like chewing on the seed and the mucus likes substance around it. I'll be doing a separate post on Chia Seeds and more information and how you can include it into your diet.

Redoxon Vita Guard Ace+

I was first introduced to this tablet by one of my tuition student's mother. She told me the benefits of this tablet and I soon fell in love with it. It has Vitamin C, A, B6, B12, D, E, Folic Acid, Minerals, Zinc, Selenium, Copper and Iron in each tablet. It's a tablet around the size of a 50 cents, put it into a cup of water and look at it sizzle away. 

I've been taking it for the past few months and I'm loving it, I definitely recommend it to those who are battling with pimple problems, it did solve my pimple problem after taking the tablet every morning,

Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask.

A range from Freeman has finally been brought into store by Watsons a few months ago. It contains Activated Charcoal which helps to absorb oil without over drying the skin and black sugar that helps to exfoliate dead skin cells. After using this, your skin feels softer and cleaner.

Usually I had to apply mask on after exfoliating but thanks to this, I won't need to apply mask after exfoliating. It's a 2 in 1! I am definitely getting it again after I finish mine.

Swiss Line Water Shock Foam Cleanser.

My favorite cleanser among all cleansers I have tried. I am currently on my 3rd set this month. I can't survive without it! XD It is suitable for dry and combination skin. It contains Lychee extract which is known to be great anti-oxidants. It helps to brighten the skin, providing natural exfoliation and helps to moisturize deeply. 

EOS Lemon Lip Balm SPF15.

Applying lip balm is equally important to applying moisturizer on your skin. As usual, I love everything that has SPF compound in it that's why it made its way into my April Faves list!

Aloe Mask.

This mask belongs to "My Beauty Diary" range from Taiwan. What I like about this mask is that it has a lot of essence in it. Even after applying for 25-30 minutes, the mask still contain a fair amount of essence in it. It helps to moisturize and soothe all types of skin.

So, here are the list of my favorites for the month of April! I'll be posting up longer post on a few of the things I've mentioned above. Stay tune for more updates next month!

[TUTORIAL] Veet Facial Waxing Strips.

Posted by Kimm | Labels: , , , , , , , , ,

Hellooooo everybody!! So, today I will be posting up something different. Instead of a review, I will be doing a tutorial today! I'm sure not everybody know how to do everything without googling HOW-TO~ So I'm here to rescue all you beautiful people out there who are dying to know How-To-Use facial waxing strips~


I will be using Easy Ready to use waxing strips from VEET. They have a wide range of hair removal product to choose from such as waxing strips for face or body and cream type. It depends on which type you prefer. For facial hair removal and my legs, I prefer the waxing strip and for my arm, I prefer the cream type. 

Type of hair removal products available for VEET.

So, inside the box contains 20 wax strips and 4 perfect finish wipes. 

This is how the facial strips looks like, it is smaller as compared to the body wax strips. It is the sheer butter and berry range for Normal Skin. If you have dry skin, feel free to choose the other range according to your skin condition. 

STEP 1!
-Make sure the area you are waxing is clean, free from oily residue and dry. If your skin is oily or wet, the wax may not stick or you may apply a gentle amount of powder onto the skin before applying the wax. It helps the wax to stick onto the hair better.

STEP 2!
-Before peeling the strip apart, warm up the wax by rubbing the strips in between your hand. This helps to warm up the wax for easy application. 

STEP 3!
-Slowly peel the wax strips apart as seen in the picture above. Leave one aside and apply one of the strip to the area of your choice. When applying, make sure to rub it according to the SAME direction of hair growth. 

STEP 4!
-Be ready to pull! If it's your first time waxing, it may hurt a little OR maybe a lot for some people. Now, use one hand to hold onto your skin tightly, and pull the waxing strip on a OPPOSITE direction from your hair growth.

-Example picture of what I am talking about.
- First picture, if your hair is growing in the direction towards right, apply the wax strip and rub it towards the right according to the direction of your hair growth.

-Second picture, hold onto the skin on the right side and pull gently making sure your skin is tight. Now grab onto the waxing strip with your other hand and pull towards the left in a fast motion. DO NOT pull gently and the would not work.  

On the strip itself it also shows you how to use it.


STEP 5!
-Repeat for other area until you are satisfied with all the hair removal.

STEP 6!

- With the Perfect Finish Wipes, use that to remove any excess wax residue left on your skin. If you do not like to use the wipes included in the box, you can always remove the excess wax with baby oil or Olive Oil, it works the same way.

*It may hurt for some people and if you see tiny dots of blood coming out from your pores, don't worry, its just a light injuring from pulling hair away from the roots. Just wipe it off with a clean warm towel. You may want to do it at night before bed so that it allows your skin to heal overnight. 

After waxing, it depends on your speed of hair growth, for me it usually last around 3-4 weeks before I wax again!

You can get the waxing strips or cream from any drug store or department store at a affordable price.

 Have fun waxing! I'll see yall in my next blog post~ Feel free to drop me any questions in my email (KimmyLoo1212@gmail.com), FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM~~

March Favorites! 2015

Posted by Kimm | Labels: , , , , , , ,

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~
