Anti-Ageing Makeup? L’Oreal Revitalift powder foundation says yes

Paris B 8 Comments

An anti-aging powder foundation? Most intriguing.

The L’Oreal Revitalift Instant Anti-ageing Duo Powder Foundation is just that. It promises a soft focus technology to “focus out stubborn signs of aging seamlessly” reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Erm… alright then. Doesn’t “soft focus” make you think of photoshop? 😛

First caveat. This powder, if you are heavy handed, can actually accentuate the lines and wrinkles. Or if you slap it on with a trowel, hoping to smother your lines and wrinkles, you’d be everything L’Oreal does not want you to be. So I caution the use of a light hand.

The texture of the powder itself is surprisingly light. It also offers quite a high coverage for a powder foundation hence my caution to use a light hand. You’d still need concealer but if you aren’t fussed, you’d be alright just using this on its own.

Happy Saturday Ladies!

My Dad surprised me by asking me to book them a movie this weekend. After much to-ing and fro-ing, we are going to see Pirates of the Carribbean : On Stranger Tides. Would you believe that this is the first Pirates movie I’m going to watch? Yeah I’m way behind, I know. So while I go and savour the movie, here are some new beauty items you can look out for.

Hada Labo Olive Cleansing Oil

Hada Labo previously had their Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Makeup Remover, which I wasn’t too crazy over, and they now have a proper cleansing oil! Its olive oil based so I’m quite worried that it will break me out like DHC does. I ordered mine online before I knew it was out here, and I just received it about 2 days ago, but there you go! I’ve already seen it at some Guardian pharmacies so take a look there.

Hada labo Cleansing Oil retails at RM49.90

Revlon CustomEyes Eyeshadow Palettes

I never thought very much of Revlon eyeshadows. I always found them lacking a bit in pigment. The new Custom Eyes Eyeshadow palettes however, are a totally different kettle of fish! Lovely smooth textures for the most part, and well pigmented. I most certainly recommend taking a look at them, especially Smokey Sexy and Naturally Glamorous. I’ll have a review or two coming up in due course 🙂

Revlon Custom Eyes Eyeshadow Palettes come in 4 colour palettes and retail at RM49 each

Day 8 of 30 : L’Oreal Glam Shine 6H Strawberry Mix lipgloss

Paris B 8 Comments

I used to really like this colour from L’Oreal Glam Shine glosses called Cherry Shine or something 😛 It came in a short tube and I loved the shine and how the colour was quite pigmented despite being a lipgloss. Did I mention the shine? It sparkled! I actually had a backup and used it up, but before the end, I neglected it, and all the sparkles sank to the bottom of the tube.  Had to toss it eventually.

Which brings me to L’Oreal’s newest incarnation of the Glam Shine lipglosses. This time, they promise you 6 Hours of colour and shine. 6 Hours! Most lipsticks can barely last 4 much less 6 hours for a gloss! Bears testing doesn’t it? 🙂 This colour is Strawberry Mix which looks to be a lovely pink in the tube. I must say that a few things are true – its very glossy and its very shiny… and its also pretty pigmented! Check it out.

Save and Splurge: The Anti-Frizz Hair Care Edition

Paris B 18 Comments

I have what is commonly described as dry frizzy hair. I didn’t know that until I was once diagnosed to have “kinky” hair… hair with kinks. Sometimes, I find a hair on my head so kinky its curly, and it’ll stick out from my head in a weird manner.

Since then, I’ve found some hair treatments to combat this frizz, most of which I’ve reviewed before this. But here are some I’ve tried and incidentally, which fall into 2 price categories – save and splurge! 😀

Yes ladies, we are back with a Save and Splurge hair edition 🙂

Save: L’Oreal Elseve Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Hair Mask – RM20+

I can’t remember the price anymore as I bought it so long ago. This one’s easily found at most pharmacies and supermarkets and it works decently well. I do prefer the Elseve Damage Care mask as I find whilst this one leaves my hair smooth(ish) it doesn’t leave it quite as soft. It does help to defrizz so I look less of a mushroom and more like a human, although the effects don’t last.
