Win! 4 Dior Addict Extreme Lipsticks worth RM98 each

The hype surrounding the new Dior Addict Extreme lipsticks is taking the world by storm! The Dior Addict lipsticks were revamped last year and made Iconic and this year, they have been made Extreme, in that the colours are supposed to be more pigmented and they wear longer on your lips while retaining the moisturizing balmy effect characteristic of Dior Addict lipsticks.

I received the new colours to try out, but there’s only so many I can wear so I decided to share the love with you because I know you’d love it 😉 So, we have here 4 of the new Dior Addict Extreme lipsticks to share with 4 of you lucky readers. As these are new, and I only have one of each, I will not be swatching them so do check online for colour representations. I will bring you a review and swatches of the rest of the colours released in the range, soon (we get 12 locally).

Ok, I know you are dying to know how to get your hands on these (they have just been launched here in Malaysia!) so hop along. Oh, and international readers are welcome to enter too 😉

Tip: Do not use cleansing oils around the eyes or why you should use a separate eye makeup remover

82 Comments

use a separate eye makeup remover

When I last reviewed a cleansing oil I mentioned that it wasn’t much good at removing my waterproof eye makeup, but that I was not terribly fussed about it, because I no longer use cleansing oils around my eye area. Instead, these days, I use a separate eye makeup remover before using a cleansing oil which I then avoid using around my eye area.

Its nothing new, to be perfectly honest, but the ball as they say, has just dropped for me as to why I should be doing this. And it comes down to the fragile skin around the eyes and how cleansing oils may result in your having more lines around your eyes. Just my thoughts ok, nothing scientifically proven so don’t go jumping all over me 😉

Is it possible to look Even Better? Yes, says Clinique, with Even Better Makeup

31 Comments

A little while ago, I told you about the new Clinique foundation that was launched recently and is available at counters now. Its called Clinique Even Better Makeup with SPF15 PA+++ and combines makeup and skincare in one product, in that it not only acts as a foundation (which it is) but also helps treats your skin tone and spots.

How intriguing, right? I’ve got the low down on what this is all about in my earlier preview post, so this is just what I think of this foundation. This is actually my first time properly using a Clinique liquid foundation. I previously sampled some of the SuperFit and SuperBalance foundation but hated them. I mentioned that they felt heavy on my skin that is used to the lightweight texture of liquid foundation that I prefer.

Happily, for everyone who likes the same texture I do, the Even Better Makeup is light on the skin, yet has medium coverage and the colour tint is a bit yellow, which is quite good for evening out redness in skin. Proof in the pictures 🙂
