Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Creamy Cheeks Review


One thing I like about cream blush is that it gives a very natural-looking flush. I bought the Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Creamy Cheeks in #03. It almost gave me a heart attack with its bright pink when I squeezed it out the first time. But upon application, it blended in so nicely and naturally. Only 1-2 drops would do the trick. And it lasts probably up to 4 hours or so.

Doesn't dry out my cheeks

A little goes a long way

Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek Review

I love love love MM stuff. They all come in super cute packaging. Majolica Majorca is the drugstore line from Shiseido. I've used products from Shiseido, and I find that the MM brand products are just as good! What's better is that they come at a more affordable price tag ^^

On to the Puff de Cheek. It comes in four different shades, and I tried the Apricot Macaron OR302. Puff de Cheek comes with a super cute puff for application. It's quite pigmented, so just a puff or two on the cheeks is good enough. You may opt to use a brush for application if the puffing idea isn't that appealing to you. The orange shade is very flattering on fair to medium skin tone.

Cute packaging
Pigmented and loving the colour
The puff works for me!

Uriage Eau Thermale Review

As my skin is drying up recently (sign of aging?) and as there's sales going on at local pharmacy, I went to grab one of these thermal water in hope to rescue my skin.

Uriage Thermal Water is rich in minerals and trace elements,moisturizes the skin and can also be used on nappy rashes or red patches! It's also suitable for all skin types, especially for those prone to redness, eczema, and psoriasis.

I just spray the mist on the skin after my skin care or makeup.

Doesn't make your face dripping wet
Refreshing on a hot day
Doesn't mess my makeup
Keeps my face moisturized for a bit
Great to have on a long haul flight (50ml)

Will you spend on such products or does plain water do just the same for you?

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX Review

Ever heard of a sleeping mask? They're meant to be left on throughout the night as you sleep for better absorption of the benefits of the mask. This is due to the permeability of the skin being higher during the night than during the day.

As my skin feels dry recently, I thought of including this Sleeping Pack (yes Laneige again) in my skincare routine. Basically I put my toner and moisturizer on and then the mask before I go to bed. It's gel based, and very light.

Likes!
It's not sticky / uncomfortable
Skin does feel moisturized in the morning
Easy to apply and wash off
Doesn't mess my pillow or bed




Nice scent! It does help me to relax a little

Dislikes

My skin starts to dry up again after washing it off - it could be my skin, I don't know

I would still recommend this product though. Nice to have if you're lazy like me ;-)

Laneige Snow BB Cream SPF 30+ PA++ Review

After trying out the Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion I thought preferred the old Laneige Snow BB Cream SPF41/PA++ which I used before.

Off I went to a Laneige counter, the SA told me they stopped producing it and it's being replaced by this Laneige Snow BB Cream SPF 30+ PA++

Confused, I asked of the differences and she told that the new formula gives a matte finish

I thought I'd just give it a try anyway.

Likes!
Super fast application (compared to the BB Soothing Cushion)

Dislikes
It's sooooooooo drying! The skin around my cheeks and nose becomes flaky upon application
Makes my face look really white, and I'm using No. 2 Natural
I don't understand why it comes with a pump? I had fun squeezing product directly from the tube

I don't know why they stopped the older formula, it was so much more moisturizing and gave a dewy look just like the beautiful Korean stars' looks. 
I would not recommend this for normal to dry skin. It's too drying. Perhaps it's good for oily skin.

Has anyone tried this with positive effects?


Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion SPF 50+ PA+++ Review

So, I'm one of the many girls who have heard of this, and really dying to try it especially we've heard so much good thing about it.

The following image taken from Laneige's website explains it all



But what do I think about this BB cushion?

Likes!
Coverage is light to medium, and I'm loving it!
Longer-lasting
Very light
Enough selection of shades so you won't have a gray/white cast on your face like most BB do to us
High SPF

Dislikes
I don't know if it's me, but the sponge picks up way too little product and it takes me forever to apply it on my face!
It dries out my face a little
It lasts maybe bout 2 months, which makes it quite costly
I still hate the sponge

What's your experience with it?
