Rimmel London Lipstick by Kate Moss Review & Swatches

Posted by Unknown Friday, February 7, 2014 0 comments

I have been wanting to get my hands on the Rimmel lipstick by Kate Moss for ages but unfortunately Rimmel was not well stocked locally and was eventually discontinued in Malaysia. Since ASOS was having a sale early last year, I went into a lipstick frenzy and bought five of those for £3.50 each. 

There are two different collection of lipstick by Kate Moss. One is the original Lasting Finish (Black tube), and the other is Lasting Finish Matte (Red tube).

Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss - A creamy texture that gives a matte finish

#107 is a deep plum colour which is absolutely gorgeous! Very sexy vixen like don't you think? However, this colour doesn't really suit me as it is cool/blue based. Perhaps I should play around with it more to see if I will come to like it.

#110 is my current favourite with the vibrant salmon pink shade! It really brightens up my complexion and make me look less tired. I was quite sad to find that this lipstick shade came broken. The rest was in good condition and it will take a long time to post out and receive the replacement from the UK, so I just applied it with a lip brush.

#111 is a lovely vibrant red which is great for dinner or a night out. I love red lipsticks because it makes my teeth look whiter.

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss - Creamy & moisturizing finish

#05 is a sweet pink shade that is great for everyday wear!

#12 is a lovely coral/orange shade! I have yet to try this out yet and hopefully it will compliment my skin tone :)

Overall, I am really happy with my Rimmel lipstick purchase! They have a nice fragrance to it and the colours are really vibrant and pigmented. Rimmel claims that it lasts up to 8 hours. However, it is best to touch up after eating and drinking as it tends to wear off. I forgot to touch up once after my meal and it faded off from the inner part of the lips and slowly towards to outer. In the end, it will look like your lips are outlined xD

Do you own any of these shades? Which is your favourite?

Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 - Review & Swatches

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, December 24, 2013 0 comments
When I saw a post on Facebook that Urban Decay was launching another Naked palette, I was beyond excited! The reason being that I was immediately sold to the new colours. I do not own the Naked palette 1 or 2 because I felt that the dark eyeshadows does not compliment me as it makes me look really tired. However, with the new Naked 3 palette, I fell in love with them because it has more rose pink hues which I will brighten up my eyes compared to the previous two palette.

The Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 was launched in Malaysia on 12th December at Sephora. I immediately went to the store in the morning to get my hands on one :D Naked 3 is sold at RM188 in Sephora.

The light weight, rose gold metal casing looks really lovely with the 'waves' pattern embedded across the casing. Besides that, the metal casing reminds me of the metal pencil case used when I was a kid ;)

A week's worth of primer potion sample is also included in the box for you to try out!

Look at how gorgeous the eyeshadows are! A dual ended brush is also included for eyeshadow application and blending. This brush is really soft and picks up a fair amount of eyeshadow :D

With 12 gorgeous shades in this palette, it consists of 3 mattes and the rest are shimmer/metallics. Now, for the close up of the shades!

Strange / Dust / Burnout / Limit / Buzz / Trick

Nooner / Liar / Factory / Mugshot / Darkside / Blackheart

Swatches for your reference :D
The top picture is how it will look under direct sunlight and the bottom one is slightly away from sunlight. These shades are pigmented and easy to apply on. I love that all the colours are easily blendable where I get to mix around different shades to create different looks.

Words in bold are shades description taken from Temptalia and the rest are my personal opinion :)

Strange: "Pale neutral pink matte-satin". To me it looks more like a matte beige with pink undertones which is great for highlighting under the brows or used as a base colour for the lid.

Dust: "Pale metallic pink shimmer with iridescent micro-glitter". Fell in love with this colour but it wasn't as pigmented as I thought it would be. It would be perfect if the shade is more pigmented. The micro-glitter is lovely but the glitters are prone to fallouts, so you will have to dust the glitters off your face. I usually use this for the inner corners of the eyes.

Burnout: "Light pinky-peach satin". One of my favourite shade that has a gorgeous shimmery shade. It's a good eyeshadow for the centre of the lids.

Limit: "Light dusty rose matte". A nice shade of light brown with pink undertones. I usually use this on the crease or the outer lid.

Buzz: "Metallic rose shimmer with silver micro-glitter". Gorgeous metallic rose colour that I absolutely love! Very pigmented and great for all types of application, be it base colour or inner lid.

Trick: "Light metallic pinky-copper shimmer with tonal micro-glitter". Lovely gold metallic shade with is perfect for Christmas makeup or night events :)

Nooner: "Medium pinky-brown matte". A matte brown shade that is great as transition colour or to define to crease.

Liar: "Medium metallic mauve shimmer". Looks quite similar to Nooner with the rich brown shade except that is has a metallic finish.

Factory: "Pinky-brown satin". Warm brown shade with pink shimmers. The pink shimmers are quite hard to see unless you look at it up close.

Mugshot: "Metallic taupe shimmer with slight pink shift". A gorgeous metallic taupe with amazing texture.

Darkside: "Deep taupe-muave satin". Have yet to explore this shade but I think it would be great for smokey eye effect.

Blackheart: "Smokey black matte with rosy red micro-sparkle". Those reddish pink glitter really looks amazing on the palette, but I wish the glitters would stand out more during application. Not a colour that I will use often.

So far, these are the two looks that I went for by using different shades in the Naked 3 palette. Can't wait to play around with the other shades as well ;D

My current favourite shades are Burnout, Buzz, Trick & Liar. This palette is really versatile as the shades are suitable for every day use or for night time to glam up for events or parties! The left half of the palette are the pink & brighter tones and the right side move towards the brown hues and darker makeup look for smokey eyes.

Have you gotten your hands on the Naked 3 palette yet?

Honeypot's Hollywood Glam Waxing Party + Giveaway

Posted by Unknown Saturday, December 21, 2013 0 comments

One of the best ways to temporarily remove unwanted hair is by waxing. Waxing removes hair from the roots, unlike shaving which only removes hair from the surface. Normally after waxing, it can last from 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual.

Why Wax?
1. Waxing removes all of your hair for a longer period of time.
2. It doesn't irritate your skin as much.
3. It leaves your skin feeling smoother.
4. Over time, waxing can reduce hair growth.
5. If done correctly, it will result in fewer in-grown hairs, which means it's not itchy!
6. No razor bumps, rashes, cuts or infections which you get with shaving.
7. Waxing is more hygienic and makes you feel fab!

Honeypot is a chain of waxing boutiques that oozes with classical elegance and glamour. They have branches in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.

Check out the treatment room! It gives a very cosy and welcoming vibe which makes you feel relaxed and at ease for the waxing process. Helps to calm the nerves a little don't you think? :)

Tools & equipments for the waxing procedure. Their in-house wax is specially made in Australia.

Getting half of my leg waxed. The best time to wax is when the hair is about more than 5mm long, so that the hair is able to stick to the wax and removed easily. It is also best to avoid waxing during your three days prior and during menstruation as the skin is most sensitive during this period and more susceptible to pain.

Here are the waxing procedure that Honeypot has done:
1. Cleanse - A pre-treatment step to cleanse and sanitize the skin.
2. Powder - Baby powder is applied on the area which to absorb excess moisture and also help the wax to stick more to the hair than the skin.
3. Waxing - Honeypot's therapist are well trained and experience to ensure a professional waxing service. Didn't feel much pain as well which was great :)
4. Cleanse - A final cleansing to make sure there is no wax residue.
5. Moisturize - To reduce irritation and sooth the skin after waxing as dead skin is removed.

It is also essential that there is no direct heat contact on the skin for 24 hours (eg: hot water) as it can irritate the new skin and open up the pores, which we don't want that to happen.

Honeypot also sells their products in the boutique which you can use it for aftercare waxing treatment or you can buy their wax products to DIY at home :)

HiShop Beauty Ambassador Welcome Pack Review + Readers Discount!

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, May 1, 2013 0 comments

HiShop [pronounched as hai-shop] is an online beauty and cosmetics store that carries genuine products that is made accessible for everyone - anytime and anywhere. I am really grateful to be chosen as one of their Beauty Ambassador to be able to review beauty products that is available in their online store! HiShop carries numerous brands such as Antipodes, Heaven on Earth and many more which I believe are not easily accessible in physical stores. With HiShop, all these brands are available with just a click on the mouse :) Personally, I haven't been exposed to a lot of the brands which HiShop carries and I am glad they are a website that offers these alternatives! Delivery is free if you purchase over RM50 :D

As HiShop's Beauty Ambassador, I received a parcel on my doorstep which is filled with samples of beauty products such as face mask, makeup and so on! I also received discount vouchers from MilkADeal and HiShop. Continue reading below for product reviews and exclusive readers discount ;D

My first impression when receiving this sample sized mask is that it was a floral scented/lavender mask because of the picture. The description behind was in Japanese....so yeah, I only found out that it is a clay mask after opening the sachet xD I was delighted anyway, since it has been long I have used one. Full size (140ml) retails at RM88.90.

According to the website, the Nature & Co Vital Purity Lift Mask works to tighten pores, leaves skin smooth, banish skin dullness and smooths sagging skin. Directions said to spread an amount of four cherries evenly over the face and rinse off after 5 minutes. Apply skin toner/lotion after.

I only used half the sample size because I felt it was too much if I finished the whole packet. Around the size of two 20 cent coins is enough to cover my face. The light herb scent was alright for me, it goes off as the mask starts to dry/tighten around the face. I am impressed by the mask as it really tightens the skin when the clay mask dries...I could hardly move my face! It gives a tightening/lifting feeling for the skin during that 5 minutes. Remember to not talk, laugh or move your facial muscles when you put on this mask! I rinsed the mask off with lukewarm water after 5 minutes and I love how smooth my skin was when I touched it ^^ 


Nature & Co Pure White Lotion Light works as a skin toner to soften skin and boost ability to soak up nutrients, at the same time delivering whitening ingredients ingredients into the skin. Love how lightweight this toner is! Has a very watery texture too. Full size (180ml) retails at RM58.90.

Nature & Co Pure White Milky Lotion Light is a moisturizer that wraps dry skin in a solid veil of moisture that leaves skin plump and firm. It also claims to suppress melanin generations and wards off spots and freckles. I think this moisturizer is great for people who are under the aircond most of the time. Thick consistency but lightweight when applied onto the skin. It's not sticky and blends into the face well to provide moisture. However, for my combination skin and under non aircond area, the T-zone produces sebum quickly so there is an oil shine after a while. Full size (130ml) retails at RM58.90.

Korean face mask! Love the cute packagingMung bean extracts supply moisture and nourishment to dey and flaccid skin. Removes dead skin cells to reveal soft and smooth skin. Leave on mask for 15-20 minutes.

Love how this mask is able to cover my forehead entirely because most of the mask I use doesn't. There is a faint scent to the mask which I like because it is not too overpowering. The mask isn't superb but it does its job. After removing the mask, my skin had a slight sticky feel when massaging the remaining essence into the skin.

HiShop gave a full sized product for this :D The price is really affordable too! Thanks HiShop for safely wrapping this face mist in bubble wrap :) However, there was a slight leakage as I opened the wrap as the bottle cap was not closed tightely. No worries about that! Was excited to try this out because it contains two of my favourite things - face mist and pomegranate  Description is in Korean which I don't understand even though I know how to read the characters. haha...

This face mist is designed to soothe, moisturize, replenish, relax and rejuvenate the face. Helps to set makeup and also make your tired looking skin look bright and dewy.

I really adore face mists because it helps to refresh the skin when the weather is humid or when the skin feels dry in air conditioned areas. I like this face mist because it absorbs into the skin easily. But the scent wasn't really to my liking. I love sweet scents but when I sprayed this to my face, the scent was leaning towards the strong side. However, the scent only lasts for about a second or two when sprayed on, so I am okay with that. Just have to get brace myself/get use to the scent when I spray it on my face...lol. 

When I am at home, I usually use this during the afternoon/midday when the skin gets oily...wash my face with water and then use this pomegranate face mist. Very refreshing! ;)

Farmasi Terracotta Mono Eyeshadow 12, RM38.90
FARMASI is the brand name of Tanalize Cosmetics where they are the market leader in Turkey at cosmetics and toiletries export market. This Terracotta Mono Eyeshadow is a baked eyeshadow that provides luminous/pearl shine effect. Long lasting and easy to apply, it can be used both wet (for intense colour) and dry (for basic pearl shine)

I was really excited to try out this colour as it looked really dark and sultry when I looked at it for the first time. Love that it can be used both ways. But it was not as pigmented as I thought it would be. Had to use my fingers to apply the eye shadow a few times to achieve the pigment that I want. Like the soft pearl shine effect this eye shadow has when applied dry. For the intense colour, I used the wet brush and applied it on for about 5 times to get the intense result.

MAC Archie's Girls Ronnie Red Lipstick

Posted by Unknown Monday, March 25, 2013 0 comments


Stumbled across the latest collection of MAC cosmetics while I was in the mall earlier this month. The huge display counter in the center of the mall piqued my curiosity, so me and my friend went to check it out. I'm glad I did, because I was quite an Archie's comic fan during high school :) And a part of me was immediately sold to the concept already xD


What caught my eye from the Archie's Girls collection was the Veronica matte lipstick in Ronnie Red (RM75). Tested it at the MAC counter and I fell in love with it! My friend in Aussie said most of the Archie's Girls collection were sold out over there. Plus it's a limited edition, so I went back to the mall and bought the lipstick a couple of days later :)


Ronnie Red is a mixture of cherry/hot pink and red which makes it a very vibrant and unique colour. I love the fact that it is outstanding and attention grabbing! The colour lasts very long too and it does stain your lips. 


Before this, I don't consider myself a lipstick fan as I tend to stick to lipbalm and gloss. Red lipstick in particular, have never been on my list because it screams bright and loud. But this year, I've been wanting to get my hands on a red lipstick for reasons unknown. Is it due to age, that I'm ready to move on to the next phase of life? xD I've been looking for a red lipstick for some time. Nothing held my interest while I was on my search and I'm glad that I found this amazing lipstick in a shade that I love! 

However, this matte lipstick made my lips dry after a while. So I'll have to constantly apply Vasaline every couple of hours so that my lips don't get chapped. That is the only thing that I didn't like, but I'll overlook this matter :) If you have pink undertones like me, it is best to apply foundation or bb cream on your face because the Ronnie Red lipstick tends to make the redness on your face more visible.
