SOAPABABY Extra Rich Collagen Spa Review

What's up guys. I know its Friday and it is exciting because the weekends has finally come back again. Today I wanted to share with you guys about a collagen soap that I've tried recently. It is so cool because it is handmade and it works amazingly good. There are a lot of collagen soap out there but I am not interested in because of maybe first impression I could say? They are not packed well or look promising. So I recently got the chance to try this one from a brand called Soapababy. Cute name! Each soap comes in a box like what you see above and packed so well and nicely. 

What this soap features is that the intense moisturize it will gives you and how it will act like a bath product at the same time just like applying lotion. The good part is, it wont leave your skin greasy just like using lotions. Because of its high level of collagen ( 3 times more ) and other ingredients that were used in making these soap. I like how it is not fragile, you know when you just a few second wet your soap and it starts to becomes too soft after a while? All that mushy and "lendir" out of the soap? Well, this does not. It is solid enough to stay in your bathroom but still lather so nicely. 

THE TEST

How to use this soap. Wet your body as what you do in the shower. Make a foam out of the soap with your hand. Apply on your skin and just rinse it off. You can repeat the steps over and over again because this soap can be layered on your skin. So you get more protection and shield of its benefits more. Advise for first time user to fully optimize this soap.

Here I am running a test on the different of my skin using and not using the soap. This collagen soap can be use over and over again to make more layers of protection to your skin. That means the moisturize stay on your skin better. As you can see above. I apply the soap on the top part back of my hand.Rinse it off, and when I splash some water on it, you can see droplets on the part where I have layer the collagen on to my skin. It means the layer stays there to keep my skin moisturize. As you can see, on the bottom part of my arm simple just wash off. It just makes my skin wet and after a while it will dry off. It does not leave my skin protected. With such an amazing price RM19.00 each bar, you get full out of it. The soap is solid enough to be used so many time during your shower time.

The main ingredients of this soap are Collagen (3 times more than usual collagen soap), goat's milk, ginseng, aloe vera and honey. This retails for RM19.00 (Net weight: 110g) each. You can purchase it here from the seller. Whatsapp/SMS : 016 5601 527 or email soapababy@gmail.com .

ColourPop Where The Light Is & Lumière by Kathleen Lights Review

From left to right : Lumière Lippie Stix, Glow, Cornelious, KathleenLights,Blaze

I got the opportunity to own this and it was gifted to me as a wedding gift *giggles* by my dear friend Farisha Nadia. I love her, she is such a good sport in everything and she always gets my jokes. hahahaha! As you know ColourPop do collaboration with inspiring YouTubers such as Shaaanxo, CoffeeBreakWithDani and many more. This one are also from a Beauty Guru. This is the Where The Light Is Eyeshadow Quad & Lumière Lippie Stix. This quad and new addition Lippie Stix was created by this amazing YouTuber named Kathleen Lights! She makes beauty review and makeup tutorial videos. This is what she said about it - “I always tell my subscribers to be positive individuals in life and to always keep their heart and mind in the light, never in the darkness. That is something I have always believed in.” – Kathleen Lights. Each shadows in this quad are not available in their single collection. So if you wan to  get the shades in this quad, you have to get the whole quad.

Glow Super Shock Shadow (Where The Light Collection)

A matte shade. Creamy and super soft. Also describe as described as a “creamy vanilla with a matte finish.” It is brightening and has a beige tone with warm undertone. I looovveee to use this under my brow bone. It looks natural but at the same time brightening. Best use with synthetic finger to a nice wash of color or finger for a full pigmented color.

Cornelious Super Shock Shadow (Where The Light Collection)

A matte shade. described as a Describe as a“mid-tone warm caramel with a matte finish.”. Definitely a dupe for my favorite MAC eyeshadow Cork, but this one is in a creamy form. Amazing to be use to blend in the crease or to create depth on to the crease. This eyeshadow name is actually her dog name. Cute!

KathleenLights Super Shock Shadow (Where The Light Collection)

A pearlized shade. Name after the creator it self. It was said that this shade is an inspiration to her favorite eyeshadow from MAC which is Amber Light. Describe as a “bright golden copper with a pearlized finish.” Copper does not look good on me I don't know why. But this is by far the creamiest and softest and beautiful eyeshadow in this quad.

Blaze Super Shock Shadow (Where The Light Collection)

A metallic shade. Describe as a “coco bronze sprinkled with multi-dimensional glitter [with a metallic finish].” Very sparkly and glittering but amazingly does not have fall out when you apply. Colourpop creamy type formula eyeshadow made their metallic eyeshadow easy to apply. Creamy but easy to blend. Love to use this on top of other color for that nice gold flush on it.

Lumière Lippie Stix

A beautiful matte shade. Super pigmented and not drying at all. With minimal drag and it hugs the lips so nicely in just one application. I love to wear this color with black smokey eye with a hint of gold. Oh so nice! It is a dusty mauve pink with a matte finish. Kathleen Lights said she wanted a color that both bold and shy people could wear. It's not a nude..it would look great on EVERYONE​!”

Overall & thoughts. Amazing. For 5 USD around RM20+ for each eyeshadow are just amazing. The quality of these shadows are amazing. Definitely worth it. The only color I wish I could wear are KathleenLights. But it makes my skin looks tan. Well I'm Asian, I like to look fair lol. For the lippie stix, also amazing. Love the formulation and pigmentation. Just that I don't like the slim shape of it, I can't store it in my lip stick stand properly.It looks nicer if I have other colors and put them in a small ikea vase. So the shade on he bottom can be put upwards and look so pretty on my vanity. Hah alasan :P

Colourpop are not available to be shipped to Malaysia. I got mine from a Spree. This retails for $20.00 USD while the Lippie Stix retails for $6.00 USD. Contact the seller below to get the latest price offered. Farisha : (+60128908863) to get any Colourpop products and more info follow their instagram ( https://instagram.com/makeupniche ).

The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion Foundation Review & Makeup Tutorial

Presenting to you, my first ever makeup tutorial! I'm excited! As a special opening, I am doing a one brand makeup tutorial and the brand I am featuring are from Korea and it is The Face Shop! I bet you know about this brand! I want to recommend you a brand that has amazing price with awesome quality at the same time easy to be find in most shopping mall, if you cant still find it, you can also shop online. I will provide the links to each product at the end of this post. They have something exciting for this month of September because they are launching a whole lot of new makeup items and the star of this series would be the Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion Foundation that has said to be the only Cushion Foundation that has Long Lasting effect as well as Moisturizing. Watch my full video below to learn more on how I create the look I am showing you above! Read more below for a full in depth review of the Cushion Foundation from The Face Shop.

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

This is the The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion Foundation.Comes in 2 different shades. Mine is in 203 and there is anther lighter shades which is 201. This cushion foundation comes with a special sponge. I call it puff! With LG patented “Micro Foam” it is 4 times denser than usual polyurethane sponge that most cushion compact has. If you are still new to this, at first application you are going to take a bit of a time to get used to it, after a while, you will grab this during time when you want a fast makeup application, knowing that you have not wash your makeup brushes fro the longest time and of course during that nak cepat moment  you don't want to get your hand all dirty. Trust me! Been there, thanks to the sponge!

The case and look are like the usual Cushion Foundation you may find in the market. The case is the standard medium size case if you know what I mean because there is some Cushion Compact that is bulk as hell. The products are store/absorb in the cushion. All you need to do is press the puff against the cushion to take out the product. It is like using a compact powder, but this one is in liquid form. This does not have any weird or overpowering scent. The coverage is build-able - Medium to full coverage.

1. Hydration

Its main features are the high performance of moisture charge featuring an ingredient called the Clean Tasmanian Water founded at the vast continent of South Africa. That has been said there is a heart shaped island located there. It was inspired by how the environment is not "damaged" and the only water that has fewer impurities in it according to their research by CSIRO. Another ingredient highlighted in this Cushion Foundation is the Italian pure mineral oxygen water. It provides you with the benefit that helps to recharge your body skin health.

2. Sebum Control

Sebums are like white heads. It is an oil produce by your body, an over excess amount of this would lead to oily skin. So with the help of these both ingredients which is the Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract and Blooming Rose powders your excess oil will be absorb and mattify. From my opinion, the Cushion Foundation does not completely give you a matte effect, but definitely has that nice shine of a healthy glow and looking less that an oily face.

3. Long Lasting

With its Multi Particle Technology, it leaves your skin looking perfect and flaws are blurred out. I could agree with this. If you have done watch my video, you can see at first the whole application looks a bit weird, but after a while, even without applying any powder on top, you can see my skin looks natural and glowing. It said that, other cushion foundation has the same powder composition shape, while this one has different so it can fit better to your skin and in result last longer.

4. Sun Protection

This Cushion Foundation has sun protection of SPF50+ PA+++. It is just effect for Summer time in our case the whole year! It is sweat proof and has fewer tendencies to melt during hot weather. They clinically tested on 20 women (by “Ellead Skin&BioResearch), to wear this cushion foundation and sit in the sauna for 40 minutes. Found out most of the women makeup still remain the same! Amazeballs!

Recommend this to you who have oily skin but a t the same time experience dry flaky skin. Just like a combination skin. I am using the shade in 203, I suggest you who have warm fair to medium skin tone for this shade. I am not sure about darker skin tone if this going to look greyish on you. On me, it does not; this has a nice warm tone and does not give me the usual Korean product effect. I also suggest you if you have very oily skin to set with a very light powder so it won’t slip away. Because it takes a few minutes to set in your skin and from my opinion it is not completely matte. For very dry skin, this is perfect to be use alone for you.

Here are some of the new makeup product that are also launch together with this Cushion Foundation. All products shown below are used in my video makeup tutorial. Each product has more colour option that you can choose from. I hope you enjoy this post and video and let me know your thought in the comment section below!

Sugar Belle Luxurious Matte Lip Cream Full Swatch & Review

I could not help myself when I knew that when they announce they are going to make a new makeup brand. A home grown from a country I was born in. Bangga Lah! Especially when its makeup kan.I just lost my marbles. Nothing excites me more when my own country are going to have more makeup brand. This is how I always have faith that Malaysia also can have prestige makeup brand that will take over the world just like what Jimmy Choo has done right. Nothing is impossible in this life except for satisfy every people haha. Sugar Belle Cosmetics, founded by two amazing inspiring ladies Belle Yahya & Eyqa Sulaiman who are also has their own business them self which are Bella Ammara & Sugarscarf. Each lip cream are packed in this nice black textured box with gold ribbon on it. The body of the lip cream are made from a very high quality matte finish plastic tube. Each shades are differentiate with a sticker on the bottom part and a small "window" showing what shade are they on each of them.

As an opening they launch their very own matte lip cream. Hah! If you know me, I am a big fan of these type of cream matte finish lip product. Have you seen my SMLC from NYX collection? Then you know how much I love these type of lip cream finishes. They launch 5 shades and at first I just want to get one, but I just could resist my self and choose. So I bought all. Haha! So let get on which some swatches shall we! 

Luxurious Matte Lip Cream No.1 Pink Paris. A true Barbie Pink but has a warm undertone. Which means perfect for most Asian skintone.

Luxurious Matte Lip Cream No.2 High Class Red. A beautiful raspberry red. It is like a deep red but not too dark and has a bit of a plum tone to it. I know we don't have season here but this might be a nice Fall color!

Luxurious Matte Lip Cream No.3 Lustre Red. I just relize that this picture are the most messy ones. I'm so sorry, I just saw this when I am editing my pictures. This is a true classic red lipstick. It is not that opaque and creamy but after a few layer it can be opaque and very pigmented. 

Luxurious Matte Lip Cream No.4 Sugar Pink. A creamy milky pink shade. Reminds me of Istanbul from NYX SMLC but this one has more "Pink" in it and maybe a bit of a baby milk peach tone in it. Go for this if you want a natural lip with a hint of pink.

Luxurious Matte Lip Cream No.5 Nude Kisses. Of course I am going to love this. I love nude lipstick! This is one of the perfect nude color I ever have! It's like the combination of my favorite NYX SMLC Athens + London + Stockholm. It's not too nude, not too brown. Just nice! I love this! And oh yes, this shade is the creamiest and most opaque among all 5.

Overall thoughts. I am wearing High Class Red in picture above. Below the picture are an image after 3-4 hours of wearing and after eating & drinking. I could say they fade but they leave a nice tint to my lips nicely. One point here, as you can see my lips does not happen to be dry or flaky at all. This lip cream are really hydrating. My favorite of all 5 are High Class Red & Nude Kisses. They are very hydrating. Some of them aren't opaque but the colors are build-able by layers. They set to matte around 1 minute. The applicator it self are another thing I love, it has a slanted shape where re applying is easy, only that its a bit hard to get in to the corner of my lips. Oh yes! One more thing, they smell so good. They has this fresh fruity scent that is not overpowering or lingers to much. Just nice! I could see some of lipstick junkies out there does complain on how some matte lip cream are super drying right, well, I recommend you this! Let me know what shades you would look forward to try!

I wish Sugar Belle will grow bigger with more products coming in. I look up to these two ladies as an inspiration <3 Hopefully one day my brand will also grow and be successful like them in shaa Allah <3 Adore ad definitely you have my support all the way!

You can purchase them at http://www.sugarbellecosmetic.com/ . Each lip products contains 5g worth of product and retails for RM49.00 each.

Too Faced Sweetheart Blush Perfect Flush Blush Review

I had this blush for a very long time. Of course gravitate towards on how the blush looks like is one of the reason why I bought this blush. I bought this from an international website as I have a voucher to be spend in there. So a pretty bargain for me actually. There are three different shade to choose from. I only got 2 of them which is the Peach Beach and Something About Berry. The other one is called Candy Glow. This is a baked type blush. It means it is a type of product that is formed by baking colored liquid on Terra cotta tiles. It can be apply wet to last you longer. By baking the blush on tiles it will gives a creamier texture than most powdered blushes.Each blush has 3 different shade/stripe. You can use it alone or combine all 3 colors for that nice flush color. 

I used Peach Beach a lot but it does not even start to hit pan. The product is very packed with great pigmentation that is easy to control when applied.  love how the blush is packaged. The whole entire body is made out of card board. It features gold hot stamping detailing on the front and as you cans ee its starts to fall off already. I am a bit late, Too Faced also have came out with more new heart shaped blush with the similar box design. It is the Love Flush Long Lasting Blush. The Makeup Revolution Blushing Heart are also comparable to this but Makeup Revolution Blushing Heart are much more fragile than the Too Faced. Mine already broke and damage :(.

Here are the swatches. On top part is Peach Beach. The last one on the right are the color when I combine all three shades. Same goes to the one in Something Abut Berry. I mostly use Peach Beach than Something About Berry. Peach Beach has more natural glow to it and it suits my skin better. They last about 2-3 hours. A reapplication may need if you want it to stay. It's a moderate good blush. I think a lot of people would buy this because of the way it looks like. It makes  a nice vanity decor item. I love it! But still overall I do love the one in Peach Beach. I love the natural peach glow it gave me. I like to use the 3 color from the left from Peach Beach as a highlighter. They retails for RM99 if I am not mistaken. You can get this at any participating Sephora near you.
