Day 24 of 30 : Ellis Faas Glazed Lip L303 (and a bonus Inglot eye!)

July 7, 2011 Paris B 23 Comments

Here’s an Ellis Faas purchase I like and which I would recommend you to get if you want to try anything from the brand. Unlike the Creamy Eye eyeshadow which I had a lot to complain about in terms of packaging, I won’t complain as much about the lip products, despite them coming in the same packaging.

I swear you could do some serious injury with this! Too big to pick your teeth with though…

The main reason is because I can use up whatever excess comes out of the tube, but for some reason, I find this one easier to control. I just twist once and wait for a few seconds and a sufficient amount comes out to allow me to use it. Now let me show you the colour.

Essence Metallics Quattro Eyeshadow 03 Copper Rulez : You Rulez Yo!

July 6, 2011 Paris B 22 Comments

I am a smart shopper. Before I went off to pick up some Essence Cosmetics products, I made sure I did my homework and my homework told me to stay away from Essence eyeshadows which are pretty but seriously lacking in pigment and staying power. So, my eyes glazed over when I saw the shadow singles. However, for some reason, when I spotted this palette in the Metallics collection, I couldn’t tear my eyes away. There are about 3 different palettes but this particular colour caught my eye – it must be this neutral phase I’m going through. The name is Copper Rulez – that z there makes it way too young for me 😛 Yo!

At RM14.90, into my basket it went. Preliminary swatches of the tester told me the pigment was fair and for me, at those prices, I was satisfied. What it contains is 4 powder eyeshadows and 1 gel liner. There are no applicators which is a good and bad thing.

At that sort of price, any applicator included would be crap – lets not mince words. However, at that sort of price and target market, you’d hardly expect the young girls buying to have a good set of brushes on hand. You can use fingers (works well enough) but not for the gel liner – but more about that gel liner later.

You know what though? I’m really digging this palette 🙂 I think it one of the best budget palettes I’ve gotten since… erm… never!

If you like light non-oily liquid foundations you might like the Bobbi Brown BB Cream

July 4, 2011 Paris B 35 Comments

I reckon I’ve teased you for long enough about the Bobbi Brown BB Cream. I’ve been using this one off and on for a couple of months since I picked it up from KLIA before my Seoul trip. It would seem a little odd picking up a BB Cream before heading to the land of BB Creams but then I’m perverse like that 😛

Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF30 PA+++

Let’s just start by saying that I do not subscribe to the BB Cream all-in-one theory. I use BB Creams as foundation never in place of sunscreen and moisturizer. Hence, I treat this as makeup not as a skincare-makeup hybrid. Its important to get that out of the way because I know a lot of people treat BB Creams as an all-in-one product which they are marketed as, but I just want to make it clear that I don’t so I use all my regular skincare and sunscreen before applying BB Cream.

Here’s one thing I like about the Bobbi Brown BB Cream even before I tried it – it comes in 3 shades – Extra Light, Light and Medium. I think that is very wise, because there is no such thing as one shade fits all. However, darker skinned ladies might still have a problem finding a colour match because even Medium is quite fair as colours go. I take it in Extra Light which is about right for my skintone. Its not really super light, as the swatches below will tell you.

Day 23 of 30: Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon Scarlet (absolutely decadent!)

July 1, 2011 Paris B 45 Comments

Its been a while since we’ve featured a red red lip. Never a better time than now, and never a better time than a Fri-i-day! 😀 Will you join me in pulling out a red lip colour to celebrate the onset of the weekend?

Ooh did I see you reach for your sunnies? Isn’t that just such a bright red? Yes, I can just see you back there cringing and going “Nooo! I can’t wear this!” And yeah I thought so too.

I picked this one up from Superdrug in the UK last year and I wasn’t too sure about it initially. But it was late autumn and it was dark early and I was feeling morose so an inexpensive red lip seemed like a good idea. But you know what? I’m really glad I got it because its one of the brightest longest lasting reds I own!
