Products that I regret on getting

Instead of writing all good comments about the products that I like, here is an entry of products that I regret on getting:

1. Shiseido The makeup brighening veil

This is a base for make up, I always trusted Shiseido makeup so I thought I would give it a try! This products does nothing to your skin - no colour, not even helping you to prepare your skin. I dislike this product so much that I only used it for few times to test it out. Now it is sitting in the drawer. Good that it was not expensive as I got it in the warehouse sale! LOL






2. Benefit Dr. FeelGood

I got this products as it claims from the booklet and the SDM lady that this will help to smooth out fineline after you put on your make up. It is a LIE! The product is like vaseline type of texture. Not that it WILL NOT smooth out the fineline, but I found that when you apply after doing your perfect makeup, it will take away your makeup and make your look messy. MAN I hate this products. -10 rating! ><


3. Clinique 102 forget me not eyeshadow pallette

I don't recall where did I get this pallette (probably one of the gift from the beauty lady). This pallette look very nice (nice packaging and sweet purple and pink colour). BUT when you apply to your skin, it has NO COLOUR whatsoever no matter how many layer you put on. I just found it waste of my time to use this pallette, so it sits in my drawers for year! HAHA...I am throwing it away after taking the photo for this entry! I don't particularly like the Clinique products as I found their stuff is not that great, I proved to myself right again after using this shadow! LOL

4. Motives mineral powder


I tried mineral powder because it claims that it is better for your skin. So I purchase the Motive mineral powder. The unqiue thing about this powder is that it is customerized to your skintone (meaning the beauty advisor will blend your unique powder). However, I got bad blemish after using it. I guess it is just not for me. I am sure there are people out there who love motives stuff... but just not for me! :(

5. Shu Uemura eyeshadow pair

People often asked me, is there anything in Shu that you dislike as you seem to use a lot of their products? Well there is, and here they are. I don't like the texture of this eyehadow. The tube one is a liquidly paste, which is super hard to apply on your eyelid. The other one is like powder paste (sparkling thingy for your eyes) which I found is not fine enough to attach to the eyelid. The pair was expensive! I am so regret to use it. But I will finish it up as they are from Shu! LOL...

VitaCreme b12


It has been a while since I updated the blog..mainly due to laziness.
So...I want to write about VitaCreme b12 for a long time but never get to it.

It is a very popular cream in Asia as celebrities have claim that they cannot live without this cream.

Thanks to Eva. I got the cream from Vancouver (as it is not in sale in Toronto yet).

The cream with the vitamin b12 makes this cream very special. It is made in Switerzland and it is a all purpose cream and it claims
-to reduce fine lines
-to treat burn spot and any scar
-to treat sign of aging
- especially good for neck treatment (to reduce the appearance of aging in the neck area)
- help reduce the sign of dryness on your skin


My impression of the cream
-Vary expensive as it is $50 for a tube
- a very nice scent to the cream
- it is super easy to absorb in your skin and you don't feel greasy at all (which I love about)
- I have been using it for quite a while (I would say about a month) and I really like it as it improves the dryness and feel very comfortable on the skin
- I really love it as a makeup base (it also claim that it can serve as makeup base). I found that after you apply this cream on your face, it prep my skin so that the makeup set better on my face.

Overall I love this cream and I am asking Eva to re-purchase it for me this year! :)

Ladies hope you enjoy this review.
