My favorite top everyday natural blusher

Salam all! Mood nk blogging tetiba datang nih. Tengah kemas2 bilik , susun2 balik barang makeup nmpak la yang byk jugak lately ni beli blusher. Sab nak try berblogging balik tapi maybe tukar cara penyampaian dalam blog ni dari fully English ke bahasa yang sab pakai setiap hari iaitu rojak campur bahasa and english sikit2 boleh? So for today, Sab would like to recommend you guys some of my top favorite blusher for every day use. Warna2 ni sesuai for you who have light to fair-medium skin tone. So let's!

The first one is the 4U2 Matte Blusher. I think this one a rebrand of the old version matte blusher they have in the heart packaging. 4U2 ni brand dari thailand and mmg popular dgn range blusher dieorg especially yg cream blush tu. i tried that one but tak berapa gemar sebab how terlalu pigmented and susah nak blend to the skin. I think sesuai untuk org yang suka blend cream blush on bare skin and bukan on top of foundation sebab mmg agak pathy bila blend. So this one actually Sab baru beli jugak but suka sgt warna shade ni. Dia cm brown undertone and sangat ssesuai dgn kulit kuning langsat sab ni. Among all 4 ni paling pigmented, so a little goes a long way. Sab jarang suka blusher yang highly pigmented ni tp this one kinda an exeption sebab warna dia sgt la cantik. Sab beli ni di Guardian outlet Kota Damansara. Harga sab beli about RM33+, Harga betul about RM39.90. - Link webite : https://4u2malaysia.com/product/4u2-blush-on-made-by-4u2-51-marry-me/

Next is the 3CE Mood Recepi Blusher in #MONOPINK. Love the earthy tone shade in this blusher. Finishing matte, no shipper at all. Lepas tu dia tak pigmented sgt so senang nak kawal blending masa apply. Sucha  sweet and on the go blusher tapi has to be apply above liquid foundation sbb dia sgt lah sheer. I got this from Hermo like last year I think (link shop). 3CE pun ada di Shopee - (link). Harga about RM60-70+. Depends pada sale time.

Third, the MAC Glow Play Blush. I was recommend this by Kak Sally the MUA that we selalu hire for our product photoshoot campaign. This blusher sangat la unique. Kalau Korang perasan, macam ada kemek kat tengah tu kan, sebab blusher ni bukan powder, bukan cream but its like a "dough"> mcm playdoh tu. boleh tenyeh2 and selalu rasa sejuk je tak tau kenapa. So this one boleh apply pakai brush for a very very natuarl finish but best apply pakai finger or sponge. Sponge apa? Of course la Breena Beauty Blending Pearl Sponge, hehe. So blusher ni Sab selalu bawak dlm makeup bag nk touch up lepas solat. You can just use your finger and dap around your cheeks for a natural finish blush look. Oh and this ada hint og glowy finish,bukan basah but a light sheer glisten finish on the cheek. Sangat Cantik. Sab beli ni di MAC outlet but also available online- link. Retail for RM131.00 each.

My most used blusher. Yang ni my 2nd repurchase hah gitew. This is from NARS and nama shade ni S** Appeal. Kat Malaysia shade name ni xditayangkan atas sebab2 adult content. So kat packaging shade ni diberi number 4033. Blusher ni kalau korg swatch kat kedai or tgk directly korg mesti cm ee pucatnya colour dia. Tapi masa my visit there, promoter kat situ suruh I try terus kat pipi on top of my foundation. Bila dia pply kat my face, warna dia terus bertukar jadi warna warm pink natural sangat. Cantik giloss! Sejak dari tu mmg fall in love and terus beli pakai smpai habis. So far onine sab xjumpa any shop jual, maybe kene ke outlet juga. NARS is now available online at Zalora if you wanna know. You can check our promos and deals using Zalora Pormo Codes. 

Above image show the blusher applied using brush on bare skin & skin yang ada foundation. Mmg on top of foundation nampak lg pekat. 4U2 tu patchy sikit but just make sure lightly je brush bila nk pakai. Sab apply blusher using my favorite B103 Tapered Highlight brush & B104 Cheek Definer Brush by Breena Beauty.

So which one yang you alls paling suka and berminat nk try?

Mamonde All Stay Foundation & Sponge Review

Last week I receive this beautiful bouquet of flowers along with these beautiful new products from Mamonde Malaysia. Mamonde is a brand from Korea, famous for their promising skincare products that I personally love. Always inspired by flowers, Mamonde release their new liquid foundation that said claims that this foundation has a smooth texture, long-lasting formula and does not crack throughout the day. Provides SPF 25 to protect your skin from harmful sun rays too. Usually, the foundation comes in a 30ml packaging but this one only comes in a 2oml packaging as it is one of their slim packaging feature that is travel-friendly. 

Choose from 3 different shade which are 21N Ivory, 23N Sand, and 25 Tan. I am not that tan, but my shade in this range is 25 Tan. I tried 23N Sand, but it looks pretty fair for me. As it claims it does not oxidize, that is why I find that it gave a little fair effect to my face.

My review: A little goes a long way. Although its 20ml, you would not need much for your whole face. It claims to be a semi-matte finish foundation but I felt that it is a full matte finish foundation maybe because I have dry skin. It finishes off to a very matte "like powdered". On the first try after applying the foundation, I set it with a translucent powder. I find that my face looks "too matte". The second try, I just leave the foundation as it is, it looks pretty nice. Conclude that this foundation gives a nice matte finish without even need to be set with powder. I tried it last few days and I could say 85% of the foundation lasted on m face and a little bit shine went through around my nose area. 

I also tried the sponge on the 1st try. It was okay, not as soft as I wanted it to be. There is a waterproof layer on the top of it, it is a bit weird and I think I may need more time to experiment with it. The sponge expand when it is damped too. It was an okay sponge, I like my sponge better haha.

The Mamonde All Stay Foundation (RM59, 20ML) can be purchased through the Mamonde Beauty Counters at Aeon 1 Utama, PJ, Aeon Mid Valley Megamall, KL, Parkson Suria KLCC, KL,Aeon Bukit Indah, JB, Aeon Tebrau City, JB, Parkson Gurney Plaza, Penang and Sephora stores located at Mid Valley Megamall, KL, 1 Utama, PJ, IOI City Mall, Putrajaya, Komtar, Johor Bahru, IMAGO Shopping Mall, KK and Nu Sentral, KL. It is also available on Lazada.com.my and hermo.my.

Pupa Milano Makeup Workshop with Federico Lucci

Last week I went to IOI Putrajaya Sasa Outlet for an exclusive Makeup Workshop with Pupa  Milano Cosmetics. It is a brand from Italy and has a wide range of makeup products to be discovered. It was an intimate event and I had a lot of fun meeting my blogger friends such as Sabby, Kelly, Fishe and many more!

Federico Lucci, the Internationa Makeup Artist for Pupa Milano flew all the way from Italy for this workshop. He showed a demo on a makeup look using their new product which is an eyeshadow palette.

 The new eyeshadow palette comes in 3 different options to choose from and they are GORGEOUS. The claims :

The formula of the Matt texture combines innovative Velvety Agents that guarantee
perfect adherence and a high percentage of pigments for maximum coverage.
The Satin texture is composed of innovative raw materials with a silky feel to make the
texture rich and creamy while a special Polymer guarantees optimum hold.
The Metal texture is a pressed powder with a performance similar to that of a cream.
The combination of Resins, Waxes and Oils ensures excellent adhesion to your eyelid.
Easy to apply, it fixes instantly and lasts all day long.

The palette comes in a plastic metalize packaging and has 3 types of hues. They are Bright Violet (my favourite), Hot Flame, & Cosmic Queen. These eyeshadow are formulated from Italy.

Here are the swatches of the palettes. First, Cosmic Queen. This palette has more of smokey dark hues. The first colour on the left, the black matte is amazingly pigmented. This palette is great for that edgy makeup look for night time. Kinda like a rock star vibe eye look with these hues. 

The second palette is called Hot Flames. As the palette name, it has warm hues of eyeshadow. You can create a warm eye look with nice orangey transition colours and copper lids with these. Pretty sexy!

The last one is my favourite. This is Bright Violet, it has pink and purple hues of shadows. Pink shadow is the trend right now and these colours are perfect. It can create a romantic eye look yet great for every day. the 2nd last color from the left is a great transition colour. 

These palettes retail for RM149.00 each and they are available at all participating SASA outlets that carry Pupa Milano products. There is a 4th palette that is called Spicy Nudes, currently not there during the workshop.

There are other products you can also discover from pupa Milano such as foundation, lipsticks, mascara and many more.

IN2IT Cream Blusher Swatch & Review

Cream Blusher is another option of a powder blusher. What is the difference? Powder Blush tends to fade faster compare to cream/liquid type blush. Most Cream Blush I found in the market is "too pigmented" or dry on the skin that causes patchiness or hard to blend mark on the cheek. I found a drugstore holy grail find which are these IN2IT Cream Blusher. They are affordable and easy to work with. 

Comes in 5 different shades to choose from. The Cream Blusher has formulated with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E. It is very hydrating on the skin too, & it makes your pores less visible. Watch my video below to see the live swatches and demo on how to use the Cream Blusher!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Cream Blusher comes in a squeeze tube with a pointed tip opening. The texture of the Cream Blusher is creamy and highly pigmented but also easy to blend. Does not dry too fast where it gives you time to blend it. It lasts pretty long as after a while it leaves a stain on your cheeks but still easy to removes with a proper makeup remover. 

 IN2IT Cream Blusher, from left to right : 01 Carnation, 02 Coral, 03 Blush, 04 Garnet, & 05 Tulip.

Here is the full swatch picture of all 5 Cream Blusher shades that you can choose from or why not have them all. 01 Carnation is a true baby pink shade, 02 Coral is a warm coral shade, 03 Blush is a rose pink shade, 04 Garnet is a warm red with brown undertone shade, & lastly, 05 Tulip is a baby soft peach shade.  My favorite is 05 Tulip & 03 Blush!

 

HOW TO APPLY CREAM BLUSHER

1. Squeeze a small amount at the back of your hand.

2. Dor 3 angle on your cheek area.

3. You can use your finger or sponge to apply. I prefer sponge as it blends nicer.

4. Bounce the sponge or lift upwards (if you are using your finger) in dap motion until all blend well on to the cheek area.

These Cream Blushers retail for RM16.90 each and available at all participating Watsons outlet nationwide.

Colourpop No Filter Concelaer Full Swatch & Review

First post in 2018! Say what! One of my resolutions is to be more active on my blog. So here it goes haha. Last year, I able to grab my chance to shop at Colourpop during their Holiday sale. 20% off storewide, so a real deal. I always wanted to try their No Filter Concealers. So I manage to grab all shades with the 20% off deal + Free Shipping to Malaysia. A real deal. It was 6.00USD and after discount it was 4.80USD. Approx around RM20.00 each. But my package was supposed to around by end of November, there was a bit of a problem and actually, the delivery man kept my parcel without noticing. After I called around the end of December, then they only said that I have to pick it up myself. Gheess.

A lot of you asked me if I get any custom tax charges. This is my 4th order from Colourpop. Usually, the package that is valued below RM400-500, will not get customs charges. Usually, my Colourpop orders are around RM200+ (50USD+ order total eligible for Free International Shipping). Also they deliver using USPS. The ones that always caught with Custom Tax are DHL. If you find this a hassle, you can also join pre-order spree from IG sellers. If you are on of them, comment down below!

So let's move on to the review. The Colourpop No Filter concealer comes in 15 shades. From the fairest to the darkest. Each concealer comes in a cute pink box and a plastic tube. The applicator reminds me of the Urban Decay Concealer. It has a flexible flat applicator that I actually love because it does not drag my skin when applying it, especially under my eye area. 

Here are the swatches for the Colourpop No Filter Concealer in all 15 shades

 Top to Bottom : Fair 5, Fair Neutral 10, Light Natural 15, Light 20, Beige 25

 Top to Bottom : Medium 30, Medium Tan 35, Golden 40, Deep Beige 45, Tan 50

Top to Bottom : Deep Tan 55, Deep Golden 60, Rich Tan 65, Deep 70, Rich 75

COMPARISON WITH OTHER CONCEALER

Overall : I love the texture of the concealer. It reminds me much of the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer that I repurchase over 3 tubes. It covers up beautifully and does not feel cakey at all. The downside of the concealer is that I could not find a perfect match for my skin tone. As above picture shown the comparison of the Colourpop No Filter Concealer with my other concealer that I usually use. My perfect match is the Tarte Shape Tape in Light Medium & Maybelline Fit Me in Sand. Most of the concealer from Colourpop are peach undertone or looks too neutral. I hope Colourpop will come out with more medium and yellow undertone range in this line. The price point is amazing, but the colour selection is not that variety. My most close shade is Medium 30. For the other darker shades that I have I use it for contouring & shading.

Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick Swatch

Merry Xmas to all who celebrate! Today is 26th of December and it is the official launch of Rihanna newest makeup addition to her makeup line Fentry Beauty, the *drumroll* Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick! It is now available both in-store and online at Sephora Malaysia (www.sephora.my) for RM85.00 each. Taking my chance right now as my niece and nephew were helping out babysit my son, so I quickly took some pic and get my thoughts on this sexy new lipstick that I just got. 

Highly Pigmented, 14 shades to choose from and it said that each shade was carter to suit your mood. An everyday nude, a classic red, fun pink and even bold unique shade such as green, baby blue and purple. It says that this lipstick has a pearl soft matte finish, light-as-air texture and glides creamy on the lips. Rihanna said that "Lipstick is all about having fun and expressing your mood at any given moment. This collection makes its easier than ever because there's colour for everyone". 

From Left to Right : MA'DAM (royal red), SPANKED (dusty rose), CANDY VENOM (electric pink), SAW-C (exotic tangerine), LIP 2 NO GOOD (nude peach), SINGLE (blushing nude), FRECKLE FIESTA (spiced terracotta), SHAWTY (warm chestnut), PMS (moody brown), MIDNIGHT WASABI (wicked green), YA DIG?! (periwinkle blue), CLAPBACK (true navy), ONE OF THE BOYZ (wild lilac), GRISELDA (bold burgundy).

My thoughts. Now now. Let's talk about the packaging. Fenty Beauty packaging never fails me! They are so simple, but yet looks so luxurious. Each lipstick comes with its iconic gangsta black look box, and compare to a traditional lipstick, the Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick is much slimmer and smaller. The case also feels light and a bit plastic-ky but overall from my opinion, the metalize pink case is just lit. The tip is also small and slanted a bit with the Fenty Beauty initial on it. My first impression on this lipstick when I swatched them are, amazingly pigmented and creamy. Does not feel chalky and it is very hydrating. Like normal lipstick that is not as a liquid lipstick, this is not transfer proof obviously. But as you can see from the image above, that is just one swipe. Dayum girl. Yep, it is very pigmented and creamy, even on the bolder shades such as Ya Digg and One of The Boyz. My favourite has to be Spanked, Candy Venom, Single, Freckle Fiesta & Griselda.

Tarte Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint Swatches & Review

We can never get enough with liquid lipsticks. I get the chance to try this liquid lipstick from Tarte Cosmetics. A well-known brand that is formulated without any dangerous ingredients such as Parabens, Sulfates and of course they are certified vegan!

These are their Tartiest Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint. I think there are a total of 26 shades to choose from. Here I got 10 out of all of the 26 shades. But I could say all these 10 shades are wearable and kinda like shades that suit any kind of looks or for daily wear. At first glance, I knew would love the shade Exposed, Besties & Fortune. They kinda like my kind of color.

The packaging is simple and sleek. I love how it is just simple and the applicator is a doe foot applicator. Which makes application easy. The texture of the liquid lipstick reminds me of the Lime Crime Velvetines. Not creamy but very liquid. On the first application, on the lips, it feels very light but you kind need 2 two layers for a fully opaque finish. It is a bit drying but with a proper base on the lips, this looks really nice. It lasts for a few hours and does feel a bit drying over time.

Some colors can be a bit patchy like, Killing It & Obsessed. May need to work faster on the application to avoid patchiness. Overall I love the shade Exposed & Bestie. It's a very nice nude color that can be really nice with a bold makeup look.

Available at all Sephora outlets & online :
