| About Me: |
First redemption received on 23 Mar: Review: This comes in a spray bottle which is convenient for use. I find the effect comparable to my previous toner which fits my needs - does not irritate my skin, feels soothing when applied. Would I purchase?: Maybe. It claims to be a "gentle, alcohol-free toner", but there is denatured alcohol listed as one of the ingredients. I usually don't scruntize ingredients but the information is contradictory and I would have to check that out further before deciding if this is worth a purchase. Second redemption received on 19 May: 2. Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner - Midnight Cowboy Would I repurchase?: Maybe. Midnight Cowboy did not really work for me but I may consider other colours. 3. Tarte EmphasEYES High Definition Eye Pencil - Black Would I purchase?: No. I am used to working with brushes and this product does not wow me. Third redemption received on 30 Jun: Would I repurchase? Yes, but in other colours. 2. Napolean Protégé Lip Gloss Would I repurchase?: No. I generally do not like minty lip gloss. 3. Barielle Total Foot Care Cream Would I repurchase?: Yes. Fourth redemption (all winners!) received on 9 Feb: Would I repurchase?: Yes. 2. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil in Stray Dog Would I repurchase?: Yes. This is part of the 15th Anniversary collection set and I think the set is worth it. 3. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on shadow pencil in Narc Would I repurchase?: Yes, in other shades. 4. Urban Decay Urban Glow Cream Highlight in Wicked Would I repurchase?: Yes. 5. LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss in 3D Woud I repurchase? Yes, in other shades. Fourth Redemption received on 6 May: 1. Tarte Provocateur Amazonian Clay Shimmering Powder in Rose (Peachy Pink Sheen) 2. LORAC Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss in Cliche Woud I repurchase? Yes. 3. Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Forcefield Would I repurchase? No. I applied this on my face without mixing to see if I like this enough to try out another shade but found the texture a bit too thick for me. 4. Sheer Cover Foundation in Nude 1.5g (light cooler pink foundation) Fifth Redemption received on 29 Jun: Would I repurchase? Yes. I want to try out other variants of the primer. 2. Liptini Lip Soda Plumping Lipstick - Ginger Ale Would I repurchase? Maybe. I am not too keen on lipsticks so I will use this for a while more before deciding. 3. The Balm Batter Up Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow - Base Hit Kit (soft golden glow) 4. Tarte gifted Amazonian clay smart mascara 5. Giovanni Exfoliating Cool Mint Lemonade Body Bar Would I repurchase? Yes, but most likely I will try other scents. Vitacost has a good price for Giovanni's products. Sixth Redemption received on 7 Sep: Would I repurchase?: Yes. 2. Tarte for True Blood Limited-Edition Natural Cheek Stain 3. Heal My Sole Yuzu Lotion Would I repurchase? Maybe. I don't really like the initial feel so I'll finish up this before deciding. Seventh redemption received on 4Nov: 2. Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Bodyguard 3. Napoleon Perdis Eye Pencil - Gold Standard 4. Napoleon Perdis Luminous Lip Veil - Sugar Plum Would I repurchase? Yes. Eighth redemption received on 15Dec *upcoming review*: |

| My Beauty Secret: |
This is not exactly a secret but just a story to share. I switched my entire skincare and cosmetics products to mainly items manufactured in US and EU after experiencing a bad skin reaction when I tried a new product that was manufactured elsewhere. My doctor was the one that highlighted the product could be a possible cause. Apparently the shampoo suds were enough to cause a reaction on my legs. I would never have guessed that the sensitivity was due to a wash-off product for another area! I think the perceived stricter regulations give me a peace of mind and so far it has been good after the switch. |
| My Routine: |
I use the following products (items in brackets are product names) in my daily morning routine: It seems like many products, but it only takes me a few minutes to apply since I am used to the routine now. I am quite satisfied with my current products but am looking for a good eyeshadow primer for my eyeshadows. I have TFSI now and am looking to try UDPP to compare. I am also switching my makeup to pressed products and I find them easier to work with. |
Clinique Black Honey
This is my favourite lip product. It applies sheerly, leaving me with a MLBB look.
Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser
This cleanser removes my makeup and sunblock without leaving my face overly dry.
Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF 50+
I can't neglect sun protection. This product is easily to apply and is not overly oily.
