Sleek i-Divine Palettes

After learning of this brand called Sleek  some years ago, I have been trying to get my hands on their wonderful well pigmented, vivid colored and cheap eye palettes. Thanks to Luxola , I am able to enjoy products from Sleek without having to go through all the hassle of shipping it from UK. I first started out my collection with the Au Naturel palette, after which I went on to buy the Oh So Special from some blog sale. Just within a year, my Sleek eye palette collection grew and so I would like to share some swatches and thoughts of the palettes. My Collection: From left to right: 1.Snapshots, 2.PPQ Shangri-la Collection Respect, 3.Storm, 4.Au Naturel, 5.Oh So Special Top row: 1.Storm, PPQ Shangri-la Collection Respect, 3.Oh So Special Bottom row: 1.Snapshots, 2.Au Naturel Oh So Special i-Divine Palette Sleek Oh So Special i-Divine Palette 1.

Sleek Pout Polish and Sigma Brushes

Thanks to Luxola's 30% Christmas sale, I was able to give myself a little beauty treat. Look at what I've got: a Sleek Makeup Pout Polish which I have been hankering over for ages, and two Sigma brushes! Sleek Makeup Pout Polish in Electro Peach, Sigma Beauty F15, Duo Fiber Powder/Blush Brush, Sigma Beauty E25 Blending Brush My two first brushes from Sigma Beauty are simply love! The F15 Duo Fiber Powder/Blush brush is soft and perfect for a seamless and natural looking glow, as though I have airbrushed my blusher on. The E25 Blending brush is oval-shaped with gently chiseled sides, and it helps to blend and soften the look of eye shadows and harsh lines. Even though it is firmer, its very soft to touch and does not scratch my eyelids. Sadly the F82 rounded kabuki brush was out of stock during the sale period, so till the next sale I shall have you! Sleek Makeup Pout Polish in Electro Peach Along with the brushes I have gotten the much famed pout polish lip condi

Clio Professional Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini

Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini Set Having heard of Clio gelpresso eyeliner for long and all the rave about the eyeliners being easy to use but stays smudge proof on eyes, I have been wanting to try it out but the steep price of S$18.90 for an eyeliner has been putting me on hold. After wandering into Watsons one day, and spotting the Christmas limited edition mini sized gelpresso eyeliners of 5 in a box for S$25.90, I was sold and along with me these beauties came home! From top to bottom: 1.Dark Choco, 2.Golden Khaki, 3.Star Purple, 4.Golden Black, 5.Beige Shine The mini set consisted of five coloured eyeliners, namely 1.Dark Choco (A reddish dark brown with tiny gold flecks), 2.Golden Khaki (An olive khaki green with tiny gold flecks), 3. Star Purple (sexy dark-bluish purple with tiny gold flecks), 4. Golden Black (black with gold flecks), 5. Beige Shine (highlighting beige). The 5 eyeliners are very easy to use, draws very smoothly without tugging the eyelids. With th

Vanity Trove December 2012 Edition

After seeing such an exciting mailer from Vanity Trove on the December Trove unveiled, I felt that I just had to get it even with the extra $5 price tag for getting a backorder. Plus I had seen reviews from Holly Jean and luvs samples , the products serum from Dr. GL, belif and philosophy seems too good to pass up. So immediately I went to Vanity Trove website and ordered it! Delivery was fast and smooth, within two days of ordering, I got my trove! Excitedly, I pull apart the box, and that’s where all the good things ended. Comparing the contents of the box, apart from the Dr. GL serum, belif samples and 1000 hours hair removal strips, nothing else in the box resembles what was promised in the mailer! Instead, I have gotten: 1. Hydrogel eye mask from Leader’s Clinic (tried before and am not impressed with it), 2. Apricot and Evening Primrose face mask from Beauty Buffet (selling at Watsons for the price of $7.95 for 5 pieces), 3. Biore Cleaning Oil Cotton Facial Sheets (

HydraQuench Cream-Gel from Clarins This creamy gel promotes an immediate “cooling” effect that turns into water on contact with the skin. It is non-oily and leaves an invisible, silky film on the skin's surface upon application, but the matte finish is not lasting, and I find my face oiling up after two to three hours of application.

Shiseido foundation brush vs TheFaceShop foundation brush

In this post, I will be featuring two very similar looking foundation brush. Here we have the Perfect Foundation Brush from Shiseido versus the Lesson 01. Circle Face Brush from TheFaceShop. Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush vs TheFaceShop Lesson 01. Circle Face Brush Both brushes come in a simple plastic box packaging. Both brushes have short handle for precise control during application and portability for travel. Comparing them side by side, you can see that the Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush is slightly shorter than TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush. Left: Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush, Right: TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush Looking at the brush from top down, Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush seems to be a tad denser than TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush.

Organically grown cotton moisture-boost gloves It's the pre-Christmas sale at the Body Shop! The Christmas special shower gels are going at 1-for-1 at $14.90 each. So through it, I bought both Cranberry Joy and Vanilla Bliss. Cranberry Joy Shower Gel A sweet cranberry smelling, soap-free shower gel with a slight sour tang. Makes me feel so refreshed after shower. Vanilla Bliss Shower Gel A full vanilla flavour. It's so sweet and creamy, I am so tempted to eat it! A soap-free formula, it still lathers very well and the vanilla smell lingers on the skin even after the shower. Vanilla Bliss Gift Cube The Vanilla Bliss Gift Cube contains a 60ml Vanilla Bliss shower gel, 50ml Vanilla Bliss body butter and bath lily. Both shower gel and body butter have the same vanilla scent. The body butter is easily absorbed by the

Kanebo Seasonal Markdown Sale 2012

It's the Kanebo seasonal markdown sales!!! Items from KATE, Impress, LUNASOL, Freshel and Blanchir superior are put on sale, up to a 70% off! Lunasol: Gel Eyeliner, Eyeshadow palette, lipstick, KATE: Eyeshadow trio palette, Mascara base, Freshel: Free miniature BB cream So here's my loot from the Kanebo seasonal markdown sales. I bought 5 items, and was gifted a free miniature tube of BB cream from Freshel. KATE Mascara Base First up is the KATE mascara base. Meant to be applied before your mascara, it is packed full of fibers and helps to increase your eyelash volume and length. I have tried it, and it really increases the eyelash volume, but it does the job too well, and excess "eyelash" tickles and makes my eye itchy. KATE reflect mirror eyes in PK-1 Swatches I got the Reflect Mirror Eye Palette in PK-1 from KATE. This trio of shades include a strong neon pink, a warm dusty eggplant with dark grey undertones for the eye crease, and a s

Sephora douche wash in Coco lait, 4. Estee Lauder Hydrationist, 5. The Face Shop Herb Day Lip & Eye Make-up Remover, 6. Baby Sebamed Children's Shampoo First up in the list of products is Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel . Forgive me for being unable to show the close up of the emptied bottle. Must have slipped my mind to take a shot of it while I was taking photos of all the empties. Anyway, it is a staple for my morning skincare ritual since high school days. The oil-free moisture "drink" developed by Clinique's dermatologists is meant for combination oily to oily skin, maintaining optimal moisture balance for skins comfortable in the cheeks but oily in the T-zone or oily all over. Although I have dry combination skin, I find this Gel version good enough for the humi
