Eyeko Mascara

Here's the price if you'd like me to order it for you. It will take about 2 weeks to arrive.

Special for my regular customers: If you have bought from me before for e.g. you have bought Lipocils/Ojon from me - I wont charge you the BND2. :)

AN Product Review #2

Hi ladies! In this post I'll be talking about the Eyeko Mascara and Urban Decay Primer Potion.

First up the Eyeko mascara. I love the tube!! I find it so unique that you can actually squeeze ur mascara and actually know how much you have left. The mascara wand however gets some getting used to for me because it is different. But boy does it lengthen! It's crazy how long my lashes are when I use this and it really is VERY black which I love. I love my Loreal Voluminous for giving me volume and Im loving this for length. One thing I dont like is taking it off. You really have to get into your lashes to make sure every last bit of it comes out but it's like that for my Voluminous too. Small price to pay for the effect it gives. You can check out Gemma and Selby's videos on the mascara as well to see how it looks when they use it.

Urban Decay Primer Potion also known as UDPP. Some of you may already know about this but I only found out about this early this year. I have trouble getting my eyeshadow to stay on throughout the day so when I saw on youTube that there was this product, I ordered it straight away. What it does is help your eyeshadow stay on longer and also for me I notice that the colour of the eyeshadow is nicer when I put in on top the UDPP. How do you use it? Just put a small amount on your lids and rub it in and let it dry. Then put on your eye make up. And wa-la! Longer lasting eyeshadow and check out the difference in the colour as well. I think it looks just that much better with the UDPP.

Skin Products - Oily Skin

I was requested to do a recommendation on skin products for oily skin. Unfortunately because I have dry skin, this is not based on my personal use but more on a general 'what Ive heard' kinda of thing. Try it out and let me know if it works for you and for those of you who have recommendations please share with us as well. :) These products are both drug store products.

Skin cleanser/mask - Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1

This is one Ive heard about on youTube a lot. It's 2 in 1 meaning you can use it for a cleanser and if you leave it on for a bit longer before rinsing it off, it works as a face mask. Its good for oily skin and those prone to breakouts. Unfortunately this isn't available in Brunei. If you wanna give this a try let me know and I can try and get it for you. Actually Ive heard a lot about Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser as well which is oil free so that's worth checking out as well.

St Ives Apricot Scrub

This is a great scrub that is available in Brunei both in Guardian and Winmark and they have many types for different skin types. I do recommend exfoliating at least once to twice a week to get rid of any dead skin cells and to help maintain clean pores. This will help with all types of skin.

Apart from these it does depend on yourself individually most of all. Like for some people brands like the Body Shop work for them however for me my skin has an allergic reation so not everything that works for other people is going to work for you.

Most importantly, you really need to know what skin type you have. To know what type of skin you really do have, this is a good test. Wash your face with your facial wash, dry it and then leave it like that for about 5 minutes. Does your skin feel tight? Then you have dry skin like me. If you dont moisturise your face properly, your face will produce oil to compensate for the dehydration so that's one thing to keep in mind.

If you have oily skin make sure to use oil-free products only for your face as well.

For higher end brands I do recommend Dermalogica! Its a great brand and if you go for face mapping they can help you find the best products for your face. It is a bit pricey but I do believe in the long run it is worth it. I believe there are a few places in Brunei that do have Dermalogica products, there's one in Kiulap (not too sure where) and there's one in Gadong (same row with Pizza Hut).

Sorry guys that's all I can share, hope that helps! :)

Make Up Palettes

I thought Id share this with you ladies as well. Last month I bought a palette and 2 gel liners and I was amazed at the quality for the price. Because Im still experimenting with eye shadows and what colours suit me and my eye colour, I decided to get the palette to play around with before I invest in MAC or Nars eyeshadows. I was pleasantly surprised that all the reviews I saw on youTube were actually true! Eventhough the palette is relatively cheap considering how many colours you get, the quality is still very good. The colours are very pigmented and easy to blend and work with and because I bought this particular palette I was able to play with colours as well. I used colours for Raya to match my outfits and it turned out pretty nice. :)

Let me know if you ladies would like me to order a palette for you. They have it in a few ranges so let me know which ones you're interested in. These are exactly the same like Coastal Scents palettes except that it's from a different store and it's slightly cheaper. So do a search on youTube and you can see swatches and tutorials as well! You can even go to the Coastal Scents websites to have a look. :)

AN Product Review #1

I love reading these and I thought Id start doing it as well. In this review, I'll be talking about the Loreal Voluminous Mascara and Revlon's Colorstay Foundation.

This is the BEST mascara Ive ever tried and personally for me it puts all the other mascaras (drugstore) to shame! It truly does give your lashes volume. My eyelashes are already long from the Lipocils so I wasnt looking for length but when I use this mascara it does make me able to show off my lashes even more. Only downside is getting it off. Im using the waterproof one because from what Ive heard waterproof mascaras help your lashes keep their curl but then at the end of the night I have to suffer the consequences of removal. :p Unfortunately this is not available in Brunei so I did have to get it in from the US and I so dont regret it.

Now this is available in Brunei at our very own Guardian. I use the color Sand Beige. I used to use the Nude cause in my head Im VERY fair when Im actually not. Only when I was looking at my pictures did I see how it didnt suit me. :p

This is the best drugstore foundation you will ever find. Take my word for it. I was talking to a colleague of mine about it and she bought it and loves it too. I love how it goes on so smoothly and dries so quick and the coverage is amazing. It really makes you look like you have flawless skin! But I was a bit skeptical on how long it would last knowing liquid foundation isnt such a great idea in such a hot country as Brunei. The true test was when I wore this foundation and went to watch netball at the indoor stadium. For those of you who have been there you know just how hot it is. Within 5 minutes I was sweating already and I was worrying about my foundation streaking and lo and behold, guess what? It stayed on! And so Ive found my holy grail foundation. It doesnt break me out either. I use my Sonia Kashuk blender sponge to put it on and on I use my MAC Mineralised Skin Finish to set it. I love the Mac MSF's as well. I was in UK at the MAC counter and she recommended it and she said I was a Medium PLUS. Can you believe it? I seriously need to get over the fact that Im not as pale as I thought I was. :p

Well that's my review. Let me know what you guys think and what products you love and if you'd like me to do more.

xoxo,

Update

I have 6 more slots available for Ojon's 2nd batch and Lipocils 5th batch is open for booking until the 15th of October.

For those who dont know, the Ojon is BND95 per jar and the Lipocils is BND60 per tube. Collection will be at my mum's spa (map on the right).

When you email me or text me your order, please make sure you mention your name as well.

I have been extremely busy at work and with Raya that I havent had a chance to do anything new in terms with the store, hopefully this month will be a better month and I can try and add more things available for order. I just received my Eyeko mascara and creams, let me try them out and see how I like them and I might bring them in as well. :)

xoxo!
