Some makeup stuff part 2

Alright here comes part 2! Long overdue lol... anyways I didn't have internet access for my comp so I'm doing a short update for now, just reviewing some products.
Rimmel lipstick

Looks something like this, it's pretty nice, not too pink on the lips and would suit a lotta people I think. Depends on how much you put on.
Anyways this lipstick is pretty cheap, I think below RM20? and smells like chocolate. Rimmel is a pretty good brand to go for if you're on a smaller budget.

Biotherm aqua foundation

Applied some on my hand, as you can see it's kind of dark (for my skin tone)

I don't quite like this product cause if you have oily skin, it'll darken your face. I'm not sure about the price as I got this for free from a relative. Might work well on some people ;)
Tho really, not recommended for people with oily skin.

Loreal Made for me (Naturals)

For Naturals, of course the colors would be earthly tones and browns xD

The colors are obvious after only one swipe, so it's pretty good and I love it.
Recommended for those who don't like glitters in their eyeshadows :D The darkest shadow is really good for replacing eyebrow pencils and the brush given is great for applying it too.
You can draw really thin lines with the brush!
I'm not sure about the price for this either, but Loreal products won't cost more than RM60 for eyeshadows as far as I know. I got this as part of the lucky draw I won. xD

On a random note, my black bangle collection is growing! LOL

PEACE OUT!
Kanye West shades FTW.

EMOTES!

One day Toria and I were chatting on MSN, and somehow we were talking about races. (as in people races)
(She's white, I'm Asian) So I started crapping 'bout emoticons and which one would represent our races ha!

The typical stereotype is that Asians have small eyes, or basically just a line I guess. LOL... well anyways the emote to represent Asians is " ;D " genius huh?
And for white people they have bigger eyes so it's " =D "
Evil Asians would have eyes like this " >D " whereas cool white people would be " 8D "

P/S I DON'T HAVE SMALL EYES OMG

What about mixed races? They'd be the coolest ones with " º_º "! I wanna be a º_º too. So if they have makeup on they'll be ⌑_⌑ Mascara volume lashes ;D

Of course I didn't mention other races cause we were only talking about ourselves.
Peace from a fellow >D

Some makeup stuff part 1

A friend of mine asked for a review for some of the makeup stuff I use. So here's a blog post about it.

^ without any makeup on lol

Here's a product that I got a sample of-
MAC's Prep and Prime Face Protect SPF 50
LOVE this product. First of all I need to state that my skin tends to shine/get oily. So this primer works well as it's lightweight, fast absorbing and oil-free! And having SPF always helps.
Price: RM130 (if I remember correctly lol)
Without SPF the price is around RM90? I think

Next up- Bobbi Brown Sandstone Shimmer Brick
Works as a bronzer/eyeshadow
As you can see the color is pretty intense (which I kinda love!) you can blend it easily with a brush to create a smoky look. Texture is smooth, so it goes on your eyelids really easily (if you're using it as a shadow). I've never really tried using it as a bronzer yet, I might one day.
Price: Not too sure about Malaysian pricing here but it's about USD$38. Should be close to the converted price.

For a cheaper eyeshadow this is Maybelline's Eye Studio.
I got 2 of them. New York Night and Banana Split.
It's lighter compared to Bobbi Brown so you'll need to put on a few layers before the colors become more obvious. It's glittery in real life compared to Bobbi Brown is more to shiny. But it is a cheaper alternative for glittery eyeshadow.
I don't quite like it, cause it doesn't stay on too long. If your eyelids tend to get oily then it'll go off even faster, unless you got some primer on.
Price: Around RM25~RM30

MAC 5 eye color eyeshadow
The color is similar to Bobbi Brown's but a little lighter. and looks smoother compared to it without blending. Both are similar so I guess it depends on the person? When I applied it to my hand, I did 2 layers cause it's a little light (or maybe I didn't get enough of it on the brush haha)
Price: About USD$20?

Bobbi Brown Natural Finish Long-Lasting Foundation SPF 15
As for this product, I have mixed reviews for it. First of all it has great color selection, so you can find a perfect one for your skin tone.
The coverage is pretty light/medium so it's nice that it feels like you're not putting anything on your face.
Pump bottle = love
When you apply it, it's a little matte yet it looks dewy.
It's quite watery actually.
But blends great. See :D
On the downside, it doesn't work too well with my skin in this Malaysian weather. The sun gets to me, my skin will get oily too. It does look natural but doesn't last too long for me (well my skin) So I don't like having my face looking oily as I'm not much of a fan of using oil-blotting paper. It's nice to use if I'm somewhere where it's cool all the time though. I'd recommend something else if you have oily skin.
Price: USD$45 (pretty expensive imo :[)
PS: I should have gotten Chanel instead LOL

Rimmel Pearl Glow Powder
This product works as a finisher/highlighter/powder.
This is one of the rare cases where I actually FINISH using a product. This finisher is great for touchups, keeps your skin looking pretty fresh all day.
Price: RM35(around that price lol)

Mascara! Loreal's Volume Shocking
This mascara is both good and bad. Good is that it stays on! It really does and well, that's also the bad part. It stays on too well, it's much too hard to remove! LOL.
The mascara's brush looks like this. I quite like it though xD
I'm not sure about the price for this one, nor have I seen it in the markets o_o; I won whole set of Loreal products so this was included in it.
Side note: I'd recommend Maybelline's mascaras cause they're pretty good and reasonably priced too for people with budgets.

Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof (Ebene)
This eyeliner... works amazing on my upper eyelid. Though on my lower lid it'll smudge as my lower lid tends to have a little more oil throughout the day. The black is really black and application is smooth. Use it like a pencil/crayon. Don't have to worry about it being blunt. A sharpener is on the tip of the eyeliner too. Packaging is awesome *-*
Bad pic of it on my hand but you can see the texture (slightly!) and it's really smooth to apply.
On the downside lol... Price: RM78 (which is expensive for eyeliners!)
Could try going for EMPRO (RM38?) liquid eyeliners. Takes a bit to dry but it's black enough and pretty good application. Other crayon/Khol eyeliners I've tried - Lancome (smudges too much I'm afraid to use it anymore lol) and Loreal- Not bad but not black enough, looks metallic.
So Chanel is by far my fav.

On to lips! I didn't take photos of my lipsticks (yet) so I'll leave it for next time.
MAC Cremesheen Glass Brillant A Levres
I love this gloss. It has a slight pink to it and if you applied concealer beforehand, then apply this gloss = love.

It looks somewhat like this lol. (yes me 5 months ago whee)
The gloss smells like white chocolate, you might just wanna eat it lol. As for how long it lasts, I'm not sure cause I tend to drink/eat throughout the day ;D The texture is REALLY creamy so when you apply it, have to take some time to even it out. But I still love this product.
Price: RM80 (ouch)
Rimmel is a cheaper alternative - RM20 or so.

And most importantly! After makeup, you need to remove it!

Cyber Colors Makeup remover
I really like this product. Even Chanel's eyeliner comes off so clean. Plus it doesn't feel oily at all. Great for removing waterproof makeup. I've tried other brands like Loreal and Maybelline and Simple. Loreal works pretty well whereas Maybelline will work after removing a couple times. But it's oily. (Those were cheaper alternatives) Simple's remover is oil free.
But this is the best one for me. There's another brand I can't remember which is supposed to be great but I didn't get it cause I was broke at that time (RM80++)
Price: RM33. Can find it at Sasa :D

PHEW! This is part 1 of the makeup stuff. The rest of my items are in Penang. Some are here but I didn't take photos it them yet.
Dont' mind the quality as it's taken by my phone.

I iz so random

HA! I'm still alive. I'm getting worse at updating my blog =.=; I'm not sure I'll write much cause I don't even know what to update anymore. I need interesting series of events!

First of all, it's my 2nd week of my sem break. (means it's almost over *sigh*)
I dyed my hair the next day after I came home. ♥ Used liese's bubble dye, it was really convenient and not messy at all! Just like shampoo. One bottle is enough for 2 people though. (for my hair length).
Before > after
The color I used was "Ash Brown" I loved the results but due to my previously bleached-a-bit hair, the color lightens from every hairwash. :( which is sad actually! I still want dark colored hair now. SRS BIZ!

On another day, my brother came back home from Penang. Thus to the game store!
I wanted to get a PS3 game Heavy Rain (Region 1, cause Region 3 has lots of censored parts) Sadly the store only carries R3. (sad case #2 in the post ha)
So brother ended up with this--
Kingdom Hearts Sleep by Birth for the PSP (Special Edition)
This one comes with an artbook inside.

Last Thursday, my old highschool friends and I went to Penang for a 1 day trip. (though of course there's nothing exciting for me cause I study there =.=) But still, going with different people gives different experiences.

Ahhhh Chanel galore ♥♥♥ I'm so in love with their stuff.
I didn't get the eyeliner that day (got it last last Friday)
Only bought makeup remover that Thursday to Penang from CyberColors.

Then my friend and I headed over to Coffee Bean to hang out for a bit before going back. Then my brother took out a new product-
AWWW!!! ♥ It's not even released in the outlets yet. So I gets to huggles the teddy ^.^

That's pretty much it huh. Let's see if I will keep up with my blog. I might do a music post later and probably a post about blogs that I visit frequently.
2 camwhores LOL
