I read and watched some reviews about different types of concealers. Obviously, this is my habit before buying anything else. To know about the products first. Mainly because, I don't want any regrets. But you definitely will face some at a point of time. So I googled "Best Concealers" and it gave me tons of results. I expected expensive items to come out. Well it did. The first one if I am not wrong was from YSL. Definitely out of my budget. I wouldn't want to spend that much just for a concealer. I'm still a student and it is really hard to earn money for now. So anyway, the next product is from MAC. It is the MAC Studio Finish Concealer. So I read details about it. I even watched some reviews. And most of them said, it's really great for under eye dark circles and somehow for blemishes also. Another thing, it has SPF 35, which is really really good. It protects your skin. After reading lots of reviews, I decided to give it a try.

The product:
It's rated 3.9 / 5 on MakeupAlley and 70% would buy again, not bad, I think?
I really love the packaging. My shade is NC35. I really love the packaging. It is a lightweight, creamy concealer. Some ladies didn't like it 'coz it turned out dry on their skin after a few hours. I tried it on my skin, and it was really good. It didn't creased at all. Well, not all the products do a great job on people's skin. You have to look for a product that goes well and does a great job on your skin. Well, for me, I think this is the best concealer so far. I would definitely re-purchase this. It cost me S$30 @ Sephora.

Love,

Meet and Greet with Michelle Phan

30 July 2012 || 0 comment(s)

I have waited for so long and finally, I MET MICHELLE PHAN.

The event actually started around 2pm. But since my friend, Rhys and I were scared we might not get to be in front. So we reached Sephora ION around 12:30-ish. Roamed around Sephora and bought MAC Studio Finish concealer for myself. Then when they started putting the barriers(?) we already made our way near the stage. And Yes! We were right in front of the stage. I mean, like seriously F-R-O-N-T. So stood up for an hour waiting and waiting for Michelle Phan. So begore the event started, they had a mini game. Like, they asked questions regarding about Lancôme and Michelle Phan. And the best things was that, we made friends there. I am not gonna detailed up everything. Coz, I guess picture speaks a thousand words.

On top of this, I am really happy to see her. Didn't get the chance to take a photo with her. The queue was seriously super long.

Lancôme goodie I got. I'd like to thank Chanel for this. I met her on the spot.
Do visit her Youtube Channel . She's pretty amazing and friendly.

Love,

You get all the coverage you want, but look and feel like you're not wearing makeup at all.

My boyfriend's mom gave this to me. I was excited when boyfriend handed this to me. I opened it when he left. This is probably the best kit for me when I am rushing. I just have to apply this on my face and ready to go. The information above is true, "Look and Feel like you're not wearing makeup at all". It can cover all the imperfections on your face. The good thing about this is, it is made in minerals so it is good for all the skin types, specially for sensitive skins.

So, What's inside? Here it is.

So Tita Arlene got it from Sephora.

The box is not big and not small. Just the average size.

Here's the guide on how to use and stuff.

Another best thing about this, it comes with a DVD.

It comes with a tutorial videos. They teach you on how to apply it, which is good for all the first time users like me. I've watched everything. The tutorials are amazing.

So, here are the 5 different kinds of Powder.

1. bareMinerals in MEDIUM: ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation gives you all the flawless coverage you want with a naturally luminous finish that won't clump or cake.

2. bareMinerals in MEDIUM BEIGE: ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation gives you all the flawless coverage you want with a naturally luminous finish that won't clump or cake.

3. bareMinerals in WARMTH: Create your own endless summer. Warmth All-Over Face Color adds rich, velvety colour to your complexion to give you a radiant, healthy-looking hue.

4. bareMinerals in MINERAL VEIL: Make the most of your makeup with Mineral Veil, a see-through but spectacular finale for any kind of complexion.

5. bareMinerals in SUMMER BISQUE: A mineral-based powder miracle concealer and eye shadow base.

1. Max Coverage Concealer: Use a patting technique to cover imperfections before or after applying your foundation, and you'll get maximum coverage that blends completely and doesn't leave a line.

2. Flawless Face: The lighter multi-purpose brush for the multi-taskers that we are. With its soft-tapered, semi-round bristles, this versatile brush works great

3. Full Flawless Face: If you prefer more coverage, this versatile brush works great with bareMinerals
