Mandom Cleansing Sebum Review

Mandom Cleansing Sebum is the makeup remover i'm currently using. I play around with eye makeup a lot and its gentle and does its job! on my skin its also soft because its water based. 

In the Cleansing Express range, I believe there are moist (dry skin), sebum (oily skin) & age care. 



 Removing lipstick. 


I remember buying it for around $15 on discount. 


♡ Price : worth it and can last for around 2 months or so
♡ Packaging : Plastic, light, clearly visible how much you have left
♡ Product : Soft , does a fairly good job

✗ does not do a good job with strong mascara or heavy makeup

120 eyeshadow palettes review


♡ LOVE THE COLOURS !! i mean you probably won't use half of it unless you're a makeup artist or some professional.. but you feel like an artist just by having it! haha I use the smokey black and grey shadows, purple, and blue the most.. Orange/yellow/ RED?? too weird

♡ PRICE!!! SGD 38 odd on ebay. trust me, i've single shadows and unless you use single colours all the time.. no point buying many singles because you can get 120 colors for like the price of around 5 singles.

♡ PIGMENTED.. shimmer is generous!! not those kind of top layer. :) i recommend the black and grey.

✗ they claim to be able to wet this.. its not nice wet.. either that or i don't know how to work it

✗ drop it... and GONE

✗ no section to keep your eyeshadow applicators/ does not come with it.

VERDICT : BUY 



just leaving a picture with my smokey eyes that i use all the time with this palette...
i think i'm wearing the geo grey nudy lens in this picture..

Angela baby inspired look.


I was trying to follow this Angela baby casual natural look.. When i went for the Japanese festival last year.. 2009 :) but i wanted to look fresh.. Back then my skin wasn't breaking out so it was easier


I used basic coverage powder  from maybelline and their Volume Express Mascara which is really good what volume but a hassle to take off. Its true to its waterproof claim!!


This year's festival is on my birthday 21st next month... So i'm not sure if i'm going but you guys should check it out! you get to rent yukatas, the food's delicious, there are cute japanese children and I think the japanese football team albirex  niigata goes to volunteer every year. :)

SK2 Whitening Source transform foundation review

Thanks to YS I got hold of this SK2 foundation refill. I've not used their products before (although very tempted to try the essence) because as much as people rave about it, I feel 20 years old is too young to start with SK2. I'm pretty tan so shade 450 for me. This has whitening effects compared to the other normal line of foundation. You can see it comes in swirl like marshmallows!

The swirls in are a combination of C and E vitamins along with SK-II's own Pitera, to protect and "whiten" the skin.
 
the swirls are evident here.

 
my naked skin. i've been recovering from A HORRIBLE breakout, because i keep trying new products that come out. Trust me, when you find something that works for you. STICK with it. Not everything new is going to make it better than it already is. Especially true with SKINCARE.
 
still naked skin 
covered. For one application it's passable, however darker spots or scars can't be covered. For whitening, it did brighten the skin up a bit. I think with this you don't need concealer if your skin's not too bad.

out of 5 stars

Price :  S$31.00(Compact), S$91.00(Refill)   ✰✰
  I think there are more affordable products out there for a foundation like Revlon, the price will be too high to maintain for regular use. 

Packaging : Almost like all compacts in the market , it is pocket friendly and sturdy. ✰✰

Coverage : Good for girls with normal skin (not much acne, scars etc) Does tone down the redness. ✰✰✰


 All items on my space are bought with my own dough unless otherwise stated. 

First Post ♥ First Love

 Hi Ladies!

A little intro about myself before we get on to the real stuff! haha. I guess you can call me pixie on the www. I am turning 21 this year. I love girly things especially flower related Victorian stuff. I have flower prints on everything, wallets, bags, dresses etc. Other times i'm darker, I like leopard prints. My favourite looks are normally romantic or toned down gyaru style. I usually wear dresses because my thighs are too thick so I look horrid in pants.

My favourite items in makeup are usually...


I ♥ lipsticks. Normally nude or light pale pink colors. My lips are pretty dark so lipstick must be creamy enough to have a consistent color.
Fake Eyelashes (when i'm not lazy) > mascara.
mascara is such a hassle to take off!

 I shall leave now to write some reviews..
slowly but surely in the future posts,  we'll get to know each other better !~
