Good Evening lovelies!

Today I'm going to share about my current favourite blush palette <3

It's the Zoeva Coral Spectrum Blush Palette!

"Intoxicated by color, the ZOEVA Coral Spectrum Blush Palette captures the alluring beauty of lush, tropical reefs and reveals a fantastic array of four fresh nuances from light peach to coral pink. With its luminous matte and shimmery finishes, the easily buildable blush shades provide a flattering radiance and joyful burst of color to the cheeks – from soft and natural to intense and sophisticated looks.

The formulation of the blushes is enriched with vitamine E and is 100% free of parabens, mineral oils, perfume and phthalates. Made in Italy."

Finishes: Matte // Satin

(Please always be reminded my review are purchased by myself and what I have written here are all HONEST REVIEW. THX! <3 )

It was from the Spectrum Range and I am totally in love with it at first sight.

The moment it hit on Sephora, I immediately grabbed it and I had no regrets.

Good for me coz the palette sold out after a while :p

(Well, they restocked it already, okay?)

Once I opened it, gosh, it was really pretty.

The blush palette was aligned really neat next to each other and the hologram streak compliments the palette well.

I have to admit the packaging really made me fall in love deeper with it.

Haha.

I purchased the Coral Palette so it has more subtle tones that is brownish/pink. Basically in my opinion, this one has the combination of both the other palette's shades because the Pink Palette has more pinks and Nude Palette only consist of nude shades like beige-brown. So, if you want something that has the best of both palettes, here's your shot on trying Zoeva Spectrum Blush Palette.

These are the swatches from the palette.

From my experience, I find these colours are really pigmented and long lasting.

I tried swatches every colours and it was really good!

From my past experience, some blushers I had was not so pigmented so I had to swipe a few times to get the shades but with Zoeva, I can just swipe max twice for each time of usage.

The colours was really great for everyday and special occasions too.

Not to forget, the size for the palette box was as big as a CD pack :D hehe

In case any of you wondering about it though.

If you love blushers, I really recommend you get one of this, provided you able to purchase it though :)

Pro:

+ Gorgeous Packaging

+Pigmented shades and lovely colours

+Good for those who wanted nude and pinkish tones

+Size wise were bigger than usual blush palette which an A+ for me

+ Affordable

Con:

- I think it's a little too big for travelling though haha

I find the price is really affordable as well.

It was retailed for RM110 in Malaysia from Sephora.

You can purchase it by clicking HERE!

So, that's all for today and I'll be back sharing more good stuffs for you okay?

P/S: I just wanna say thank you so much for reading my humble blogs no matter who you are or where you're from. I can see my traffic increased day by day <3 I am really grateful for it and I am really sorry for any spelling error I've made or written.

Love you lots!

Till next time,

Hi there!

How are you feeling today?

I hope you guys are doing fine :D

Today I'm gonna share about my favourite drugstore brand;

Catrice Cosmetics!

Okay, I am not the type to actually wear liquid foundation on daily basis. 

Usually I would just use some concealer to conceal my flaws and dab some powder.

That's it.

However, lately I realized that using a concealer would cost me more.

 (due to it's small size -.-)

Thus, I have opt to find a good foundation to cover my flaws and imperfections.

I know it may sound weird like

"This girl don't wear foundation??"

Or maybe not.

Haha.

So, here's my honest review on this product. It took me some time to actually decide on whether to get this or a high end foundation. I thought I may give it a shot though and I have no regret :p

Alright,

here's the details of this lovely foundation!

Catrice's Even Skin Tone Beautifying Foundation

30ml -- Made in Italy

Covers pigmentation marks, irregularities and redness

Visibly brightens pigmentation marks*

Silky-matt, smooth finish

Available in 4 Different Shades: 005 Even Ivory, 010 Even Vanilla, 020 Beige Rose, 030 Even Sand

(picture and swatches will be shown in the last post for all shades)

This foundation claimed that the creamy texture of the Even Skin Tone Beautifying Foundation contains an SPF of 25 and offers medium to high coverage. A dermatological study confirms: after just 8 weeks of daily application, the Even Skin Tone Beautifying Foundation visibly brightens pigmentation marks.* The long-lasting, pampering texture also instantly covers colour irregularities and redness for a silky-matt, smooth skin tone. For a perfect, radiant complexion!

*Study with 28 women over a period of 12 weeks of daily application

So this is how it looks like upon application on my hand.

The texture is not too watery like some foundation I've tried before and it is easy to blend which is great!

This is how it looks like upon blending.

It was able to cover up my bruises mark!

Gosh! Haha!

I'm sorry if I'm being funny here but I guess the bruises mark can be a point to show how cool this drugstore brand is isn't? :p

Okay to be honest, you may not be able to see it clearly here but, when you blend it, it's slightly tinted. Or that's how I feels. It's kinda like give your skin a "glowy and dewy" look :D

This is how it looks like on my skin.

I only put  the foundation and a dab of powder to mattify the skin.

Love how it helps in reducing the redness and covering my thread veins on my face.

(Yes, I have a thread veins -- not a major one but minor)

This foundation does not gives a full coverage but more for light to medium coverage which suits me.

If you looking for a heavy coverage, I suggest Too Faced Born This Way Foundation. It provides a full coverage!

So far I am loving this Catrice Foundation!

Pro:

+ Affordable Drugstore Brands

+ Great light to medium coverage

+ Easy to blend

+ Not too watery

+ Great texture

Cons:

- Not suitable for full coverage

- Hard to find in Malaysia Drugstore shops

Oh ya!

Here's the list of swatches for the other shades :D

For Malaysian that interested on giving this product a try, you can find it in Guardian Malaysia :)

Although I have to admit, finding this foundation would be a pain in the neck.

I was lucky to find it in Lot 10's Guardian. You can find it there too if you're from KL!

That's all for now.

If you have a great drugstore brand that you love, don't hesitate to share!

I'd love to give it a shot :)

Love,

Ai Ai

Hello Lovelies!
Today I would love to share with you my 
HOLY GRAIL PALETTE OF ALL TIME!

This palette is just so freaking amazing and I am still loving it!
It has all the colours you need in one single lots! <3

If you are a beginner in make up, I highly recommend you to actually purchase this palette.

Plus, this palette is 100% VEGAN & VEGETARIAN! (Hurray!)

Here's the swatches of colour provided by the website :)

Swatches break down provided by Sleek's Official Site

The colours are pigmented and very smooth upon application which makes it an A+ from my point of view. Hee! Really!

I heard some says the colour can crumble easily but to me, it last for a very long time!

Swatches provided by Sara Hassan's Blog

Lovely and amazing colour isn't?
These eye shadows are just so versatile it can be used in different occasions!

So, why do I state it's a HOLY GRAIL for me?

Here's how I maximized the benefit of this palette.

I basically use:

Bow - For the inner corner of my eyes to brighten the eyes.

Ribbon / Pamper - Act as blushes on cheeks. Works really well! Like really suits fair skin!

The Mail / Boxed - As my everyday eye shadows, gives that natural nude everyday look.

Wrapped Up - I used this shade to fill up my eyebrows. Since the colour is really pigmented, it able to cover well without having to actually buy an eyebrow applicator.

The rest of the metalic colours can be used for dinner night or special function!

It's amazing how things can be done in a single palette isn't?

Here's a link to purchase it if you really like it and want to give it a shot too!

I'd like to gently remind you that this palette is freaking hard to obtain though.
It's always sold out on the site.
But hey, who knows you have the luck right? :p

Hi lovelies!

Guess what I'm reviewing today,

I am so excited and happy to write this review because it's soooo amazing!

Please take note this is NOT A SPONSORED REVIEW and it's an HONEST REVIEW.

Here at SugarBearHair,

 we strive for maximum safety and maximum results. Our products are manufactured in the USA in facilities that use FDA approved guidelines to ensure quality and safe products for your peace of mind. We used only the best ingredients available to ensure an effective product that looks great, smells great and tastes great too! Most importantly, everyone is saying "It works!".

SugarBearHair Ingredients: Our vegetarian vitamins contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B-6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Iodine, Zinc, Choline, Inositol, as the active vitamins and minerals. The gummies are made with real berries for a deliciously sweet flavor, coconut oil, and a dash of sugar. Below you can read an in depth explanation of why we chose each of our ingredients in our unique hair care formula!

Vitamin A (Palmitate)

Vitamin A is a powerful vitamin found in sweet potatoes, carrots and kale. This powerhouse contributes to the health of your skin and scalp by helping to promote your blood's oxygen circulation. Increased oxygen circulation to the scalp helps to feed your scalp the vital nutrients your hair needs for longer and stronger hair. This marvelous vitamin has antioxidant properties that helps to protect your hair follicles from problems such as excessive shedding or hair fall. If you suffer from a dry scalp, you'd love 

Vitamin A for it's ability to moisturize the scalp by supporting your body's natural oil production (known as sebum).

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin E

Vitamin B-6

Folic Acid (Vitamin B-9)

Vitamin B-12

Biotin

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5)

Coconut Oil

These are just some of the amazing ingredients found in SugarBearHair chewable hair vitamins! 

SO this Sugarbearhair has been a raged lately in Malaysia. However, it's not available locally and you can only purchase it via the website. (I will share the link later on at the end of the post :D )

Okay,

since I am staying in Malaysia, the journey of the product to reached here took ages. 

It literally took 3 to 4 weeks to reach Malaysia.

But I am so glad it reached safely, of course!

Here's the picture of the actual product in hands *.*

The texture of the gummy bear is really nice I have to admit. It's squishy but not sticky.

It has this "tiffany" kind of smell. I don't know how to actually describe the smell but yeah, "tiffany" kind of smell! Really!

Initially I thought it's gonna taste sweet like sugary kind of sweet but to my surprise it's fruity kind of sweet! Berry taste as it claimed to be. Best part, the taste does not linger too long too which I find really appealing.

Frankly speaking, the moment you put it in your mouth and chew it,

OMG

It just feels like you revitalized yourself!

Hahaha!

I am so sorry if I sounded like I over exaggerated the tasted but to me, this product is the new innovation for person who always tend to avoid eating supplement pills.

Hey baby, with this gummy like vitamins, I won't miss my daily dose haha

So far I have consumed only for 3 days and of course you can't see the difference yet.

I will keep you updated on the progress of my hair and let you see the difference  provided I did not forget about it haha

Since I've been talking so much about this Sugarbearhair gummy, you must have been thinking "Daym, I am so gonna get  mine now!"

Well, darl, you better get now because they are on SALE!

Hi everyone!

So, something looks very similar eh?

No it's not the Kylie Matte Liquid Lipstick

BUT

It's a dupe.

It's actually a local brand made in Malaysia, which emphasize on creating a more affordable brand of  the famous Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit products.

Here, a glimpse of their website look and feel

It had been a rage on how they actually able to "copy" almost similar packaging and looks!

I wonder if the texture would be as similar as the original one's though.

When they announced the product, it was priced at RM66 excluding postage, okay.

I find it rather pricey and expensive for a locally made product.

Why?

Simple. Let me give you set of lipstick / liquid lipstick of several well-known brands:

1) Mac Lipstick - RM74

2) Tarteist Lip Paint Liquid Lipstick - RM83

3) Ciate London Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick - RM60

4) NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - RM30

5) Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick - RM40

So you get the point of my message?

I had a feeling they want to priced their products at that level because probably the cost of producing the lip cream are outsourced from outside and they a fee on that, also the packaging seems like it's rather costly with all the boxes and thank you card attached. Not to forget, they want to keep some profit for themselves too. Well, that's briefly explained the price of the liquid lipstick, I'd say :p

I was in doubt in purchasing the lip products because I keep thinking, is it really worth the money?

However, doubt or not, I finally placed an order on two of the lip item.

1) Dolce K x 1

2) Koko K x 1

Here's the actual product comparison.

Unfortunately,

Something really unfortunate occured.

The delivery that was supposed to happen did not happen.

Here's what I got from them after silence for almost a week.



*there is a complimentary coupon code but I don't find it appropriate to share for those who did not had this problem, sorry*

When I received this, I was very upset because I was hoping the delivery was already on its way and tracking number was the thing I supposed to receive.

Had to express my disappointment to them and I opt for a refund. C'mon, waiting for about two weeks for a lipstick that was supposed to be ready ain't fun okay :(

I am so glad they provided attentive response and responsible towards their act.


Fortunately I have received my refunds total of RM139 after few days, which is today.

I am disappointed with what happened because to be honest, there are other cosmetic company in Malaysia that has been releasing their product successfully.

For example,

Velvet Vanity

Fame Cosmetics

Sugarbelle Cosmetics

 I hope they do well in the future and such incident would never occur again.
Maybe I will try to buy again one day, when their company is more well establish and the name is more strong.

Please take note I am not trying to pull down the company of making them look bad intentionally.
I wrote this based on my personal experience and honest feelings.
People make mistakes, yes, but when you are dealing with huge markets, I believe such incidents cannot be compromise.
That's is how you kept words to "great quality"

What do you think?

Love,

Ai Ai
