Garnier’s New ‘Miracle Skin Perfector’

Posted on September 7, 2012 by clairelim

When it comes to makeup, I got really lazy. All along I’ve been slapping on sunblock and powder, that’s all. I can’t remember when was the last time I used BB cream and to tell you the truth, I’ve never bought any liquid foundation before. (if my memory do tell me so)
This could be the reason why I can’t achieve perfect coverage on my face. LOL. (and when i got question like what’s my skincare routine, i can only tell you the boring stuffs, i may blog about it soon) haha.

So I was given Garnier’s latest product to try out, it acts like a BB cream, but it’s named ‘Miracle Skin Perfector‘.
To put it in layman’s term, an all-in-one moisturizer with 10 benefits in just one step!

Garnier’s New Miracle Skin Perfector is enriched with brightening pure lemon essence, with SPF 26/PA++, and enhanced with BB mineral pigments for a nude coverage & natural long lasting wear, instantly locks in moisture, leaving skin feeling soft & hydrated.

The NUMBER ONE critical factor in all my skincare products must be ‘suitable for all skin types’.
I will only try it with this assurance, cos my skin are abit crazy.

So what’s the 10 benefits you get using Garnier’s BB cream?

1. Boosts radiance
2. Even skin tone
3. Reduces redness
4. Smoothens skin
5. Locks in moisture for 24hrs
6. Reveals healthy glow
7. Reduces pores and lines
8. Reduces dark spots & blemishes
9. SPF 26/PA+++ UV protection
10. Flawless BB coverage

If you think it sounds too good to be true, then im here to review for you.

hi5! obviously u need more for the whole face, lol

only applied sunblock and the skin perfector here! in case you guys wonder, im using heroine make mascara

i <3 natural lighting. my skin is like glowing! i went out like that without patting on compact powder!

this new jumbo eye pencil from NYX came at the right time

look better in real life with the color than in pics, fail to seduce. LOL!!!

My take after trying?

1. Boosts radiance
2. Even skin tone
3. Reduces redness
4. Smoothens skin
5. Locks in moisture for 24hrs
6. Reveals healthy glow
7. Reduces pores and lines
8. Reduces dark spots & blemishes
9. SPF 26/PA+++ UV protection
10. Flawless BB coverage

Definitely boost radiance in my opinion, my skin tone are much more even after the application, the ONE thing that I love about this product is that it really does cover up my pores! My pores are my biggest concern in this whole wide world!

A super big pimple did not get cover up after the bb cream, but i did use the pimple roll on to help it!

overall it’s a pretty good BB cream! It serves various purposes like uv protection and as a moisturizer! Furthermore, t’s so affordable as compared to the other bb creams in the market!

SPONSORED REVIEW

There’s 3products that I wanna share with you guys!

But let me touch on the first one first.

LUMINYS TOUCH from PUPA MILANO is a Complexion Highlighter that bestows immediate brightness and glow to the areas of our face that always appear dull and dead.

After application, under-eye circles and signs of tiredness are minimized, resulting in instant radiance!

The formula is enriched with PRO-LIGHT BIOCOMPLEX, a precious blend of 5plant extracts, rich in Flavonoids & Saponosides, that provides:

1. MICROCIRCULATION – decrease of dark eye circles & signs of ageing
2. SOOTHING ACTION – Skin soothing and calming effect on inflamed spots

It is dermatologically tested, paraben free and low allergy risk

LUMINYS TOUCH can be used alone, before or after applying foundation to immediately illuminate the face.

Other than functioning as a highlighter, it can also be used as an eye and lip make-up base! It helps to improve the hold of eyeshadow and lipstick!

It comes in 3shade range

01 – LUMINOUS IVORY
02 – LUMINOUS SAND
03 – LUMINOUS PEACH

I’ve tried and am loving it, it’s very easy to apply and it really highlights my features!

The elegant silver pen comes with a ‘click’ dispenser for releasing the right quantity of product, it work hand in hand with the soft brush applicator that make it really easy to apply!

I apply this on a close to bare face in batam that night! I did not blend in properly, cos i wanna show you guys the effect of the before-blend.

i dun remember how i apply on that day, but i like the eyebrow part.

A few examples of how you can apply it. *below*

Apply on eyelids and below eyebrows to bring eyes to life and prolong eyeshadow power

To correct under-eye circles & introduce light into areas of shadows

Apply around the outer edge of lips to enhance the lips

Awesome right? LUMINYS TOUCH is retailing at $33.00! I think it’s totally worth it! Although it looks very small, but I’ve been using for quite some time.

It’s available at BHG bugis junction, BHG century sq, John Little Jurong point, John Little Marina square, John little tiong bahru, metro woodlands, sasa cosmetics, tara apothecary, pink beauty @ tpy, west mall & amk & leading perfumeries.

SECOND PRODUCT: MASCARA VAMP!

Yes it’s blue!

The special shape of the wand enables us to collect a greater amount of mascara on its central part, to get maximum product release, for exaggerated and absolutely enhanced lashes!

The rounded tip helps us to reach even the shortest and most difficult lashes! Use it vertically to give that final styling touch!

Extra thick and full Blue lashes! I personally prefer green

The blue is visible under flash, if not it’s not that obvious. The green is perfect if you want that ‘WOW’ look!

Mascara Vamp! comes in 5 spectacular shades!

1. CHOCOLATE BROWN
2. DEEP NIGHT
3. ELECTRIC BLUE
4. AMETHYST VIOLET
5. EMERALD GREEN

Retail price: $35

Available at BHG Bugis Junction, John Little, Metro Woodlands, SASA cosmetics, TARA apothecary, PINK beauty @ TPY, WESTMALL & AMK, illuma & leading perfumeries.

The last one! LUMINYS SILK

pretty? so elegant.

I did not take any photo of me with this eyeshadow color, because it is not obvious in photos!
This eyeshadow will give you bright eyes and a glamourous look

Shade Range

1. White
2. Pink
3. Gold
4. Green
5. Grey/black
6. Brown
7. Purple/violet

I think i’m gonna get the gold color soon ^^

It’s retailing at $26.00!

The highlighter and the eyeshadow is my staple make up now, and i really love them. As for the blue mascara, I seldom wear it unless there’s special occasion. But with the superstar effect, why not get the BLACK one and try it out ? ;D

Pupa Make up Launch – Mascara VAMP!

Posted on June 12, 2012 by clairelim

Was invited to Pupa Make Up Launch @ Senso Ristorante & Bar, thanks to Lynn, Mimi and Cat!

Remember I say before whenever I feel like buying something I will get the invitation or reviews of the product?

Haha yes it applies to this time as well, as my mascara’s almost gone!

It was a super enjoyable day because rusty, cat and Xinyi were there with me! OMG XIN YI I MISSED HER SO MUCH kekeke.

other than that, PUPA’s exclusive international makeup artist, Giorgio Forgani was also present, he was helping valerie with her make up, Valerie is so tall and gorgeous!

can u guess what's being launched?

Rusty is signing her name!

doing the base make up.the interior is so pretty

i want to have them all! haha

as usual MIMI is super hyper, she told us we can actually play around with the make up and also ask Giorgio to touch up our makeup! OMG HOW EXCITED ARE WE!

Kristen was the first to ‘go under Giorgio’s hands’ and she looked radiant and gorgeous after that! I remember I took a photo and I don’t know why I can’t find it in my camera! arghhh!

Next was Rusty!

lol she don't know where to look

the after - pretty!

And then it was my turn! Lol i feel awkward when people take photos of me. i guess i can only camwhore HAHA.

but still, credits to xinyi!

Giorgio and Valerie!

‘Beauty is in every woman and it can be enhanced thanks to simple steps, that are not at all necessarily loud or complicated!’

my favourite and i love it that they make sure we dont starved haha

half way through....

xinyi and me!

we were also given mascara to try on! COLORED MASCARA!
I tried on the green one! it was so nice!

rusty and xinzz say that they cant keep their eyes off my eyes. HAHA. the green looks very natural too, from far it looks like eye liner!

our starter. the parma ham is so good

our main course, the beef cheeek is so tender so yummy! the mash potato is very special but i got to say it got abit jelat towards the finishing

there’s dessert tooo!

woman's enemy! cos it's so tasty and so fattening!

PUPA BREAST ENHANCER was also being passed around for us to take a look

This product ranks NUMBER ONE in the Italian body care category! supposed to help you up 1cup size but of cos the result varies.

Now im going to show you the end result of valerie’s make up!

the blue mascara is so nice! this whole look is just gorgeous!

ended about 10plus with the bf outside waiting for me haha! and here we are having a group photo!

thanks pupa and Giorgio!

mylife: my new HOBBY!

Posted on June 1, 2012 by clairelim

Random updates of my life again! Welcome to june! it’s the couple birthday month! got a new skincare sponsor and i will be sharing with you guys soon! 3rd got filming and 4th is braces and the bf’s bday, 7th and 8th is batam, 9th is photoshoot, 10th is the friend ROM =D HAPPY!

the next would be how to lose weight article part 8 alrdy, so pls be patient hehe!

A few weeks ago, me and simon went to kbox! There’s a reason why we went, and it’s super awkward because it’s just the 2 of us there singing! hahhaa. although we are alrdy 4years old ++, but seriously if he take photos of me or hear me sing, i feel awkward and shy, i think this applies to him too that’s why he always give me the ‘bird’ face when i take photos of him!

It was at HOUGANG PLAZA (if im not wrong), i like that it’s near the bf’s place and it’s quiet? haha! quite secluded..

I was super excited when I saw that the restaurant beside kbox is NIHON MURA!! lol i’ve always wanted to try it!!

We were there for klunch btw, i ordered sashimi and the bf ordered some chicken set!

This is what he usually sings AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA omg im so mean lol ok lah, not usually but he likes!

this is me feeling stress because the ‘thing’ is just the next day and because of my stage fright i usually cannot make it, but i still wanna try just for the sake of fun!

btw we were famished and when the food came, I was quite excited until……

i feel damn sad! we feel damn sad to be exact! and that's why that day i 'instagram' this is for people who wants to lose weight. omg seriously too little for us.

the food is not up to my standard too, i was super disappointed! i love food and i feel sad when i eat food that disappoints me!

le bf v cute here so photo must put bigger HAHA

oh well although the lunch is bad but its still a fun afternoon hehe! <3

after kbox session, I went to SASA! bought brushes and blusher. i dun need a blusher actually :X i see the color very pretty and so i bought it, *damn me impulse buy*

i bought these cheaper range of brushes because im still an amateur in eyeshadows, wanna start playing around first before i invest in the really expensive brushes!

i tried out one look and its quite simple. im not used to heavy eyes but there’s a satisfaction there, i dunno why lah..

green color, eyelashes bought from daiso. 2pairs $2. haha!

now i finally unds the difference between eyeshadows and none

suddenly feel like wearing back contact lens, LOL! :X

make up is fun, i will definitely play with it when i’m free. hehe!

and my recent/latest buy, from NYX, (why u wanna come RP?) hahaha!

the color of the bloody mary is totally wrong due to instagram, it's a v dark red and i super love it.

i got 2hobbies now, one is to collect lippies and another collect rilakkumas. so fun!

okay gotta save now
thank you thank you thank you UNIVERSE! <3 im really grateful!

[review] Redken HairSpray and Dryshampoo!

Posted on May 27, 2012 by clairelim

[Sponsored]

yay i did some review- Redken Hair products

The first I try on is this powder refresh, it’s sort of a spray. Basically it is a dry shampoo!
tell you what, I actually can’t stand not washing my hair for a day! Cos I just feel weird and oily!
So I was rather hesitant to use this, but there was this day whereby I was late for school!
I’m left with no choice right? So I try this product out!

this is that type of just-wake-up-no-time-to-wash plus dry hair!

Usually if i never wash my hair which is always due to running late, my scalp will get very oily and by the end of the day, i already look like i just oiled my hair! Another thing is that my hair will get very very messy without washing!

But surprisingly, this hair product makes my hair feel like I just wash it! My scalp feels refreshed instantly and i did not have oily scalp at all even until night time!

good for people who don’t wash their hair in the morning!

the next product!

with some spare time i play with make up and at the same time try out this product

this HAIRSPRAY is super strong!

i super hate curling my hair, u know why? Because i spend one hour curling my hair, and at the end of this one hr! my hair all become straight again. i risk sweating because my dressing table is not in my room and im super pissed whenever i experienced that!

but this product really helped my curls to stay!

I think i got too much positive energy lately, or I really love this hairspray that I put all my energy into it, i shampooed and conditioned my hair after the reviews and went to sleep.

THE NEXT MORNING I WOKE UP MY HAIR IS IN CURLS. it was really shocking cos i seldom see myself looking chio early in the morning! hahahaha, alright maybe something happened during my sleep but still this hairspray is a.w.e.s.o.m.e!

Thank you Redken! <3
