Benetint, Poise

Hey Dollies,

I bought this little magic potion before departing from Singapore.

POSIE TINT

What is it?

The cheekiest flush you can get from a bottle. Our petal-pink stain plants a kiss see-through tint on cheeks & lips. With hours of smudge-proof, just-picked perfection, you'll be the preetiest bloom in the bunch! (Marketing people..genius)

Directions?

Brush three strokes on the apple of the cheek and blend quickly with fingertips. Do the same on the other cheek. Dot on lips & blend with fingertip. For deeper pop of colour, repeat.

For the lips, i recommend putting on lipgloss after. Makes your lips pop out a little more.

Price?

I got mine for about S$60.00 from DFS but I think its about S$67.00.

Where can I get it?

Sephora located at Ngee Ann City.

Pros?

• Its very light and have such a pretty colour.
• Very natural and makes your lips look so fresh
• Great for a natural look

Cons

• I feel that the colour isnt very strong, thus for the natural look is good
• It doesnt last as long as it claims

Overall - 4 out of 5 lippies

I mean I totally love the light pink colour. Its very flattering espcially if you have fair skin. But you would need to put another coat of like powder blush over this as it doesnt have a strong colour. But I LOVE. I LOVE THE NATURAL SPRING FLOWER LOOK.

Hope you guys find this review useful..

Oh my why...Chris Brown

My long time "lover" Chris Brown is in the dumps...he has been charged for felony domestic battery...those of you who are not aware of what happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna...please click HERE

How can he do such a thing...everyone is hating on him right now...It is absolutely wrong of him to have done what he did. Sources revealed that he must have been provoked or something for him to have "hit" Rihanna but that is no excuse for a man to violently touch a woman. NO EXCUSE.

So here is my plan...since every now is like hating him right now...I shall be the only one who still believes in him and continue to support his music. Then right he might notice me and then he will become mine.FOREVER.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....FREAK!....

Ok but in all honesty...my heart goes out to Rihanna...My heart goes out to her and I hope she is doing better each day...We women have to stick together...:)

WHY CHRIS BROWN WHY!!

Sigh...

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Cream

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! KILL ME NOW!!!!! ITS OUT OF STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I have been reading so much about this miracle cream. ONE CREAM is all it takes to remove everything we hate. Except for FATNESS. Anyhues, this cream promises to remove scars, improves complexion, relieves dry skin, makes hair super shiny and more. This product was firstly used by dermotologists and plastic surgeons for patients who has just undergone surgery. Prolly for scarring and healing purposes. NOW. ITS A MUST HAVE FOR ALLLLLL. AND I MEAN ALLL.

CLICK HERE to read more articles on it.

It retails for about $25USD dollars. Plus shipping and all its prolly gonna reach maybe $30 something USD. You would have to wait for about 1- 3 weeks shipping time. But you know me...I dont have that kinda patience. So I came across this blogsite that mentioned a retail outlet in Singapore that sells it. I read it this morning and was out the door by 2pm.

Tragically, the store has ran out. ZERO.NONE. They brought it in like only 2 months ago and everything is gone. All gone. They said stock would come it like next week but I would also be gone by then...back to Perth. I dont know if they sell it there but I must try to find it. I NEED TO FIND IT!!!!!!!!!! SIGH...

Retail outlet in Singapore - True Colours (Ngee Ann City)(Basement One)($79.90)

Those who have patience - Please click HERE

By the way...this is how THE MIRACLE WORKER LOOKS LIKE .....SIGHHHHH

REVIEW - KERASTASE

Hey Dollies!!

Bought me some Kerastase hair products.

1)

Kerastase - Volumising Shampoo

What is it?

Volumising shampoo for fine and vulnerable hair. Consolidates the hair structure from the root and gives long-lasting body and volume.

Directions?

Its a shampoo. So use it how you would use any shampoo. Oh BUT!! please...a small amount goes a long long way. This product lathers up quite nicely.

Price?

I bought mine from those shops that wholesale lots of beauty products and stuff (Peaches & Herbs located at basement 1 at Parkway Parade Shopping Centre). It cost me $25.90. If you buy from the salons, its gonna cost you at least $40plus.

Pros

• Smells heavenly
• Really does give your hair the extra oomph it needs (IF YOU HAVE FINE HAIR)
• Lathers up quite well, so like aforementioned - small amount goes a long way

Cons

• Its pricy - $25.90 for like a 250ml bottle for a shampoo

Overall Verdict - 3.5 out of 5 lippies

ABSOLUTE LOVE

The only reason why I am not giving this product more lippies is because of the price. It is very steep for a person like me (STUDENT). But other than that....its my LOVE. Been using this product for more than 6 months now. A bottle would last me for about 1 month plus? maybe slightly longer? So yep.Love.

2)

Kerastase - Oleo Relax

What is it?

Ultimate control for extremely unmanageable hair. Perfect smoothing of hair from roots to end.

Directions?

Apply 1 to 2 pumps into towel-dried hair.

Price?

$38.90 for a 50ml bottle. Again I bought it from Peaches & Herbs from Parkway Parade.

Pros

• Smells Fantabulous
• Seriously when applied onto your hair....your hair feels absolutely GLORIOUS!!! Your hair feels so soft so silkly sooooooo gooood
• This bottle can last you for more than 3 months depending on the number of pumps you use....so its worth the $38.90

Cons

• NOTHING....LOVE IT

Overall Verdict - 4.5 out of 5 lippes

Ok seriously people, this is such a fantastic product. You so need have must want to try this PRODUCT. ITS FANTABULOUS!!!

By the way...KERASTASE has been my love for a long time. So now I am finally sharing my hair secrets to you guys. I know how sweet of me eh? hehe...

Laneige Sensitive Range - REVIEW

Hey Dollies,

Just came back from my Batam trip with the girls and one boy..haha. What can I say...FUN!FUN!FUN!.

Anyways, here is the review on the Laneige (Sensitive Skin Range) products....I KNOW FINALLY.


1)

LANIEGE Sensitive Mild Skin Refiner

What does it do?

• A sensitive skin toner with Sensitive Mild Complex to soothe skin
• Maintains skin's outer layers with rich moisturizers such as Lipidure PMB, an ingredient known for promoting effective hydration
• Absorbs thoroughly into the skin without leaving any residue behind

How to use it?

1. After cleansing, moist a cotton ball with the Mild Refiner.
2. Apply to skin by patting lightly.

Price?

Its $42.00 for a 130ml bottle

PROS

• Very gentle on the skin, no stinging feeling at all when applied to the skin
• No alcohol
• No fragrance
• Perfect for sensitive skin as it feels light weight makes your skin feel fresh at the same time

CONS

• Its quite pricy incomparison to drug store products BUT ITS WORTH IT
• No smell - its good for the skin but I would prefer a smell it would make me have an impression that my face is SUPER CLEAN - (I CAN MANAGE IT..haha)

Overall Verdict - 4 out of 5 lippies

LOVING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly I have tried countless toners, I have to say that this is one of the better ones that I have tried. I super love it!

2)

LANEIGE Sensitive Mild Essence

What does it do?

• Specially formulated essence for sensitive skin with Sensitive Mild Complex ingredients to strengthen skin cells
• Thin Film Coated Emulsion (TFCE) using exclusive ingredients developed by Amore Pacific Technology Institute enchances the natural protective layers of the skin's surface.
• Pentavitin HM,a natural carbohydrate complex, protects the skin by providing moisture to dry, outer layers.Oligosaccharide extract from plants creates soft, moist skin without leaving stickiness or oily residue behind.
  

How to use it?

1. Pump 2-3 times onto palm
2. Apply gently on skin starting from the center working your way out to the outer edges of the face.
3. The directions given inside the box said that I should use the Emulsion first then follwed by the essence. However, the SA instructed me to use the other way round. So its totally up to individuals. I guess there is no harm both ways.

Price?

Its $60.00 for a 35ml bottle

PROS

• The cream itself it sooo light weight
• The cream is non-greasy and not thick
• Makes your face feel very "feathery" after application
• Absorbs really fast into the skin
• Skin feels extremely hydrated after use
• No Alcohol
• No fragrance

CONS

• Very pricy - $60.00 for a 35ml bottle
• Again with the smell thing, this time it has a little funky smell, well to me at least. Its not very noticeable so its alright.

Overall Verdict - 4 out of 5 lippes

What can I say girls...a absolute LOVE.

3)

LANEIGE Sensitive Mild Emulsion

What it does?

• Specially formulated mild moisturizer with Sensitive Mild Complex for silky, smooth skin
• Thin Film Coated Emulsion with exclusive ingredients developed by Amore Pacific Technology Institute enhances the natural protective layers of the skin's surface
• Non-sticky, light-textured moisturizer that penetrates rapidly into the skin

How to use it?

1. Apply a tiny amount of the Sensitive Mild Emulsion on your palm and allow it to warm up
2. Massage it smoothly into your face in an outward direction according to your skin texture

Price?

Its $48.00 for a 100ml bottle

PROS

• Like the essence, super light in texture
• Seriously non-sticky, non greasy
• Absorbs quickly into your skin
• Makes your face feels hydrated and supple
• No Alcohol
• No fragrance

CONS

• A little pricy

Overall Verdict - 4 out of 5 lippes

Sigh....another love.

Honestly!! Why didnt I try this BRAND sooner. I totally LOVE IT. Its such a good brand and product for extremely sensitive skin like mine. Even if you dont, I reckon you should give their Hydrating line a try cause I have been hearing nothing but positive remarks on it.

Hope this was useful.

Till Then,

Poor Bunnies :(

I was reading a fellow beauty blogger's site and felt that I sooo needed to share the content of her entry. And its all about how countries like France and China have rabbit farms to "manufacture" rabbit fur. (I KNOW HOW FREAKING SICK)

AND!!! Who might buy them?? Well - Giorgio Armani

This is what PETA had to say in their website;

Armani now sells fur, including rabbit-fur coats for babies and children. The new designs mean he has broken the promise he made just last year when he said, "I spoke with the people from PETA, and they showed me some materials that convinced me not to use fur."

PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO HERE .... I AM SO SORRY I TRIED UPLOADING IT LIKE A THOUSAND TIMES!! BUT IT KEPT SCREWING UP!! PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO!!

Disgusted Much?? Lets do something about it... Well those who wants to anyway :

Please contact Giorgio Armani and urge him to keep the promise that he made by permanently removing all fur from his collections.

Please also send polite comments to:
Giorgio Armani Corporation
114 Fifth Ave., 17th Fl.New York,
NY 10011 212-366-9720

Or at least pass it on or blog about it...I have a pet bunny who has been part of my family for more than 9 years...I cant imagine COCO COOKIE MARCELL getting tortured like that!! I also have a pet bunny in Perth. I also cant imagine ELEPHANT THE PENGUIN getting tortured like that!! My babiessssssssssssssssss

ELEPHANT THE PENGUIN - MY BABY

I am sooo affected...sigh
