I bought the LF from prestige warehouse sale. Bought it at $22. its really cheap as its retail at more than $60 over the counter.

Texture

Its quite fluid, therefore very easy to blend. The negative side about it is, when i pump on my hand before applying on to my face, it will flow all over my hand, will be quite messy at times.

Coverage

The coverage is average, the spf is abit on the low side with only spf8. The newer LF has higher spf. I'm fine with the low spf as my day moisturizer contain spf too.

Oil control

The oil control is average, i always apply silky girl compact powder (with oil control ability as well) to set my LF. Their combine oil controlling ability can keep me shine free till evening when i applied them in the morning..

Will i buy again?

Of course, in fact i bought another one from metro exp sale the following week. I paid $25 for the 2nd one but its still a good deal.

Review: Christian Dior Radiant Base

My sis bought this and decided that she don't want it so she gave me (as usual...LOL..)

This product is a makeup base but when u pump it out, it look like liquid foundation.


Got this from Nordstrom web site:

Dior 'Diorskin Radiant Base' SPF 20 (Nordstrom Exclusive)

The luminous glow of golden ice crystals inspires Dior's dazzling new makeup base. Just a few drops retextures and smoothes the skin dramatically for a radiant, even finish plus SPF protection. The refreshing, air-light feeling makes it the perfect primer under any Dior makeup—or wear it alone for a sheer golden veil of color.


Like


i like it as it has SPF, most of my makeup base does not have.

It is tinted so i get a good idea whether i have applied it well all over the face.


Dislike


Its difficult to blend and that's the reason why my sis give me.. LOL..

i need to use a foundation brush to aid my blending

It too fair for me..

Will i buy one?

I don't think so...LOL.. i'm still trying to finish it..LOL...

Review on Chanel: PRECISION (Ultra Correction Lip)

I bought this product during BHG promotion recently, i have being using it for a while and decided to do a review on it.




What it does



Its suppose to smoothen out fine lines on lips and to pump up (a bit only for the later according to the SA).

Suspose to use it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening

It can be applied on cheer line as well.

It can also be applied before you apply lipstick to make the lip look fuller.



Packaging



It containers 15g of cream and come in a glass container. i find it quite bulky to bring out. I have scoped some content out into a small container so i can bring it out ;)



Cost

Its about $80 plus, quite ex for a 15g items but i think it will last for at least 6 months or more. I use have used it quite often since i bought it but i still look very full.



Results

I have a lot of lines on my lips and when i appied lip gloss, it amplify my lines. i need to applied a lot to conceal my lines. After i started using this product, i have realized that there are visible reduction of lip lines and i only need to apply 1 or 2 layers of lip gloss now.



Will i buy again?

Yes, but i think won't be so soon, need to finish this one 1st.. LOL..

1st maquillage-shiseido purchase

I went to BHG CCK on last frriday and saw Shiseido maquillage is having a promotion, buy a Full vision mascara/ liner and a full vision gloss coat mascara. Get a free contrast eye quads. I spend quite abit on channel so decided not to get.. but i was quite tempted and finally bought a se yesterday.. yes without discount.. ARRR.... oh well....

Quads is abit old, exp on nov-2010 ( sa say can still us 6mth after it exp) 2 colour ( one is ble one and the other is brown/ GY910) to choose from at BHG cck.
The 2 mascura is from look like that, Full vision mascara/ liner has a few colour to choose from. i got the pruple one

 

Ettusais Haul

I recieved this mailer few days back and went metro woodland to check the promotion out:

They still have the free ES, quite a few left in fact.
The free one is non glittering and you get to choose the colour u want.
I asked the SA why not the gitter ones, she was really honest n told me because the non glitter ones are not as popular....LOL..i like her honesty, will definitely get all my ettusais things from her from now one..LOL..


This is what i bought:

I bought 2 glittering ES (2 on the left), i must say the glittering ones are much nicer than the non-glitering ones. There are 2 nice non-glittering ones, the brown n black but they are not avaliable as the FOC one so i took the orangly-pink one instead.

I bought a lip stick to top up to $68, paid $69 in total.

The lip stick i bought look quite red but was pretty sheer when i applied on my lip.

GWP for this purchase:

The bottle of makeup removal come is part of the GWP while the samples on the left are all given by the SA.
