My first exam is like 27th of February, on a saturday :( sigh. Even though it's just a mock exam, it totally feels like crap!
Honourable mention to one of my girlfriends, Fuzzy. We had to bid for our revision timetable and my internet connection went ballistic leaving her to use 2 laptops, a hand each on a laptop with my account and her account and having to bid for our revision classes!
And she did it!
LOVE YOU FUZZY WUZZY!
THANK GOD SHE HAS NIMBLE FINGERS.

Hi again guys, sorry for the spam of posts but I'm only available this week, next week I won't be updating as much because I'm having my mock exams coming up in 2 weeks.
On to the review!
I think crazyformac did the review too but i'm just adding my 2 cents worth :)
I bought this because I thought it was a great combination : Minerals (Good for skin) + BB cream (Good for skin)
Win-win combination right?
1) It only has one shade to suit all and sadly, it is far too light for my skintone. When I put it on, you can see a clay-greyish mask even though I blended it really well. (fyi: I'm no longer an Early Tan, warm golden now)
2) Consistency is easy to blend and liquidy and has good coverage. You can use it with a sponge, brush or your fingers. I believe one of the biggest plus point is the fact that it is one of the easiest to blend among BB creams.
3) It's rather gentle, I dont break out from it.
The size of the BB cream makes it easy to carry around, easy to slip into your vanity kit. However, the colour is too far off my skintone so I dont think I will be using it very much :(
The one on the left is Skinfood Aloe BB cream in shade 02.
The one on the right is Maybelline's BB cream.
And when you blend them in a little, you can really see the stark difference.
Top most: Skinfood
Bottom: Maybelline
See how white it is? Upon blending even more, the Maybelline BB cream will eventually be a white cast. Even though the darkest shade of the Skinfood aloe isn't an exact match of my skin, at least it is much, much closer than Maybelline's.
Since I'm on the topic of BB creams, let's go on to Skinfood.
This is actually a candid shot!
On to the review!
1) It has a to-die-for smell. The smell is soooooooooo refreshing. It's like aloe vera and cucumber blended together that it gives off this scent that makes you zen.
2) It has a slightly thicker consistency but relatively easy to blend
3) I can't say much about improving skin because I haven't actually been that religious in using it. Well the label says its nutrition for the skin so it can't be something reaaaaaally bad.
4) I have not experienced breakouts from this product and I have hypersensitive skin so that's a major plus!
5) It's much cheaper in Malaysia than in Sg, I dont know why? Exchange rate maybe? I bought it for RM39.90 if I'm not wrong. Therefore, if you happen to be in Johor, get it and try it for yourself! It's much more value for money that way!
Overall, BB creams to me is like makeup but probably less pore-clogging. Its like a tinted moisturiser with added benefit, added coverage. But it doesnt make me forget my liquid foundation. And it's not really a staple for me. I can do without it honestly, for me that is.
It really depends on how you want to use it because like many other makeup products, you can use it in different ways.
Like, you can use it just as a concealor, to cover up mild scars, redness, veins maybe?
Or you replace it as your daily moisturiser before you step out of the house, on days when you dont want to have a full face of makeup.
I would say though, that it is not a necessity,but something that is nice to have. It's not like a powder, where you absolutely need it to set your makeup, however maybe using it religiously, you might notice that your skin has benefited from it?
Edit: I've found a way to use my Maybelline up! As I'm not as tan now, I have foundations that are too dark for my skin, so I mix the Maybelline with my too-dark foundation and VOILA! Works like charm!, plus it gives my face the iridescent glow (:
Yep, the title pretty much sums it up. I got this brush in Penang while I was on the Carribean Cruise last year.
I know right, BRUSHES IN PENANG? You bet! I search for brushes EVERY WHERE I GO, Different countries, different brushes!
Taiwan has got some peculiar ones which I will probably feature soon! This brush stuck to me, it looks ordinary right?
I know, until I saw this let's zoom in a little closer:
LIFE AND COMPANION, ACCOMPANY FOR EVER.
Ahahahahaha, I was laughing so hard when I saw this.
Isnt this baby hilarious?
Beauty Bag 411 is having her giveaway! JOIN! JOIN! THE MORE THE MERRIER!!
Here are the rules for the giveaway:
Come on guys, its another giveaway!!
I've jumped super noisily onto the bandwagon and bought the Angelfit pore zero base from Maybelline.
There is a 20% discount on it right now, not all items so the price is $15.92 from the initial price of $19.90.
I bought this because it's more for oily/combi skin and well I liked how its absorbed super fast. And because I want to break up with my L'oreal moist up make up base. I bought this during the 100 years loreal anniversary, along with true match foundation and powder because I dont own any bases.
Sad to say, I'm really disappointed and the price is like $20.90? I'm not too sure about that.
I have to say,maybe its good for dry skin because this is what is stated on the back:
A gliding texture that covers imperfections for an even homogenous complexion, leaving your skin hydrated and makes your make up finish more beautiful all day.
Yup, that's it.
It doesnt say anything else.
To me, it does an okay job, it's like a moisturiser that doesnt sit well with oily skin. As for make-up, makeup lasts a tad bit longer but not much difference any way.
here's a picture of it, its 30ml.
I dont know, has anyone tried this and maybe found a better way to use it?
xoxo.
