Pretty in Pink

I purchased this Love & Beauty Mosaic blush a few months ago, the same time I purchased the Charm Brushes. What attracted me to this blush is the mosaic pattern. I bought this from Forever 21 US as I don’t think we have the makeup line here.

This is a very affordable blush that gives me beautiful pink results. I like that it’s a highlighter, bronzer and blush in one. I mostly use it as a highlighter and blush. If I want a simple makeup done, I just swipe/buff this on my cheeks and I’m ready to go. I usually use this on weekends and on days when I’m too lazy to put on makeup. It doesn’t give me a natural flush on the cheeks but a lighter  “girly” pink flush.

Here are the swatches:

Although it’s an affordable blush (I don’t like using the word ‘cheap’), it didn’t make me breakout nor did it give me rashes. It wasn’t itchy even on my first use.  It’s very easy to apply and blend and lasts about 3 hours or so depending on how oily your skin is. Mine is dry right now as it’s cold.

The packaging is not very good though. The cover comes loose at times but it’s okay as my kit is quite compact. I think I bought this for a couple of dollars. It’s not a great blush but it’s quite fine for every day use.

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light. 

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
