Eyeshadow Review - Daiso $2 Eyebrow Powder

I found this gem in Daiso Dhoby Ghaut. It comes in two tones, one dark grey black, another in a dark coffee brown. I bought this to use as a eyeliner / eyeshadow as I find it hard to find matte e/s in Singapore. The only matte I know of is Revlon matte, but the pan is super huge.

For this price, this is great. It is almost comparable to my Vicent longo Timeliness trio, which has a black e/s.

Pros:
-Really love the color, as it is very natural and makes the eyes pop. It is not a harsh dull flat color, but an interesting yet natural shade. Both shades work well for me.
- Non chalky, hence no messy black powder all over my lower lids. However the brush that you use to pick the product also matters.
- Stiff, almost unblendable texture. This makes the product wear on very well and easy to control. You will need patience though.
- Well pigmented, and yet not too overly pigmented. If it is overly pigmented, often you will end up with a hash look. ( In the past I always thought the more pigmented the better, until I tried my friend's coveted Shu eye brow pencils. That pencil was so difficult to use, as no color seems to come out. But apparently it is most raved about. )

Cons:
- Wished it was a tad softer. The product is not very spreadable. Hence it is like using a pen without much ink. You always need to ''refill'' by brushing against the e/s.

Japan Home - Lipstick storage

Spotted this lipstick holder from Japan Home, and had to have it . Forgot the price but I think it was $2. It has nine compartments, and fits my slim and fat lipsticks perfectly. This holder makes the task of picking which lipstick to use, much more fun! I can see all my lipsticks at a glance. I also bought the exact same one for my eyeliners.

Foundation Review - Revlon Photoready in Medium Beige

Foundation is the key to makeup. Without a nice clean canvas, adding more colors to it will only make the picture look messy, weird and ugly. Have been using Revlon CS for years.

Will compare the two after longer usage.

Eyeshadow Review - Revlon Matte Peach Sorbet Singles

Love these e/s. Have finished one of these, and bought 2 as backups when they were having a 1 for 1 sale. As seen on my hand, this has NO color. Which is what this e/s is about. It evens out the skin around the eyes. Hence after using concealer to cover your dark circles or eyelids, you can use this e/s to make the concealer more lasting, and adding more coverage at the same time. It is way better than using loose powder or 2 way cakes, because this e/s has super fine texture, and hence looks very natural.

NOTD Jan 2010 Baby Purple

Babt purple from Sasa Tinnie (un-named as usual). It was most horrible to use, as it applies very unevenly. Howver fortunately by the third layer, everything layered out evenly. This is four coats!? Love the color for the romantic innocent look.

NOTD December 2010 Pink Shimmer

Ugg...forgot to take photos of the NP. NP base color is from Sasa Tinie, just one thin even layer, topped with a heavenly shimmery $2 np from Daiso. The photos did not manage to capture the rainbow shimmers which are so pretty. TOTD is from NYX.....the color code is lost.

NOTD December 2010 Orange Blossoms

Love the color and application of this cheapie $2 gem from Diaso. I bought it from Daiso Orchard, but this was like one of the last bottles. I literally rushed down to buy, after seeing another blogger using this range. It applies very evenly, especially for a pearl finish np. I generally hate pearl finish but this was acceptable. Love the combi with my flower sticks from O2.
