Cuepido Flaws Away Concealer Review

More review from a skin loving ingredient brand, Cuepido! This time around I choose their concealer. As a concealer lover, I always wanted to find more variety of brand and type to try on. This concealer describe as a product where you will get exactly where you want it. With a soft and creamy formula, it provides you with a natural camouflage for your undereye dark circles and other flaws on yur face such as acne spots. It comes in a normal concealer plastic tube with a wand applicator.

1. This is my bare skin. No foundation or any makeup on. I have a very visible acne scar as you can see.

2. I applied a light tinted cream and then I dotted some on each spots.

3. I blend it using my concealer brush thoroughly using stamping motion. So far I can see it covers up my acne spot pretty good.

It's a pretty good concealer that easy to blend too. Pigmentation wise, medium sheer to full coverage. I love the shade that I choose, which is Ivory. It has a yellow undertone and it is perfect to be use under my eye to correct dark circle. The wand itself is a bit of a crazy looking but it does not serve me any problem. I use it to dot around my flaws and blend it with my concealer brush. Comes in 5 different shades to choose from, mine is in Ivory. This product is made from USA and each tube contains 8g of product. This retails for RM85.00 each and you can buy it only at http://www.cuepidocosmetics.com.my/ .

Innisfree Smart Foundation Perfect Cover Review

I am pretty much already in this Korean Beauty love where I find I have tried quite a number of Korean makeups. One of the best brand out there is Innisfree. I guess you guys know about this brand. Amazing skincare line and makeup products. Of course I have to dive in into their foundation. I love trying out new foundation and always in the look for more and more worth foundation to be repurchase and use. It is said that this foundation is their ground breaking skincare product. Confused? This foundation is said to help keeping your skin healthy but at the same time act as a makeup. Hm. Pretty cool aite It is formulated with ingredient such as Green Tea (good for acne skin), Camellia, Tangerine, and many more. In their Smart Foundation series, there is actually 4 different types of foundation. Mine is the Perfect Cover series which focus on coverage. There is another 3 type which is Super Moisture, Moisture Balancing and Long Lasting.If you have acne skin and at the same tim want a good coverage. Go for this one. 

Please be noted that the tube of this foundation is pretty small. Most foundation comes n a 30ml product bit this one is 15ml. Most people were kinda shock to see the small tube of this foundation especially when they ordered online. But for me, with the price and size, they are a good deal. It comes in a squeeze tube. No problem at getting it out. One thing is that, this foundation have a bit of a herbal scent to it.

A - This is my current skin condition. A bit of acne due to the "aunty visit". Some acne scars and spots. My skin is not really dry or oily. 

B - This is one layer of the foundation. It looks pretty right. I think I should get in the shade 23 instead of 21. I use my flat top kabuki to apply this foundation. I might say coverage is pretty good. Only that it looks unfinished obviously and this transfer a bit when I touch my face. It has a satin finish. (Satin finish : matte to dewy finish)

C - I add some concealer on my spots and top it off with a light weight loose powder. It looks more even now and set.

Overall this is a pretty good foundation. Not a total holy grail but workable and worth to it price. I can see my self reaching for this product more after this when I have breakout or acne on my face as this foundation helps to care for my skin while wearing makeup.

This Innisfree Foundation has 3 different shade to choose from, 13,21,23. Mine is in 21. Each tube contains 15ml of product and they are made in Korea. You can purchase this foundation here - http://q-depot.com/innisfree-smart-foundation-perfect-cover-spf33-pa.html . They retails for 9.68USD (approx RM25.00 - RM30.00).

Breena Beauty featured in TheSun

Well hello there! *Waving with a shy face on". Yes I know. Where have I been for a week now people! Well basically I just got married if you don't know and had a week for myself and my new room buddy. Lol! Yes, husband to be exact haha. I have been resting for a while. Not really resting actually, still doing lots of things for the past week and today he just got back to work and I have more time alone. So as you can see in the title above, self explanatory! Thank you to Rachel from TheSun for this feature. Apologies once again for any inconvenience causes. Things always clash in between. Like on my previous feature in Hijab Magazine, I was busy with my convocation. And this when I am busy with my wedding preparation. But let's focus on this, Alhamdulilah. How am I not proud of it! God know what journey I have went through. :')

It was featured in TheSun newspaper on 3rd August. Just exactly a day after my wedding day! Haha! We went to a coffee shop and grab "some" lol. Hubby and I was so proud and happy for this feature and it mean world to us. It was just about 3 months since we launch and oh my I hope I could tell you tell whole story of my life about it. It was such a bitter sweet experience and I am ready for more. 

When you are doing something different from what people use to do, some people like to make fun of you. Yes. They tease your product, they make fun of it and they doubted you. They feel forced to support you when you are promoting it up. Where actually you are promoting to the other people or market. They make you feel Focus on the positive side, I am so grateful to have friends and people who supported me from the first. Support with no other reason at all! When I was nothing when I can't see what will happen to me when I quit my job and run this full time. Thank you to everyone and yes, the Face Luxe Brush has sold out! And do follow us in Instagram for the new brush that is coming real soon! *wink* *wink* I am ready for ore adventures! Dragons and Knights! Here I come <3

Modern Muse Chic Eau de Parfum Spray by Estee Lauder

This new fragrance from Estee Lauder speaks for me! I instantly feel in love with the concept and description. Definitely a type of fragrance that I would like to see in any women to be one. It is, be an inspiration with a mantra never be ordinary. I love that. This fragrance captures your creativity, your exuberant style, a bold contrast of vivid florals and sensual ebony woods. Said this this fragrance with two distinctively different accords which are Vivid Florals Accord and Striking Ebony Woods Accord. It provide an intriguing dual impression. A true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it.

After the award winning of the previous Estee Lauder fragrance such as the original Modern Muse, comes this Modern Muse Chic that was inspired by the complexity of a modern woman. The modern Muse ribbon details are different from the chic version where the chic version has a studded gold on it.  Estee Lauder describe the Modern Muse Chic as rare woman who defines style on her own terms. Her mantra is never be ordinary. Bold, original, extroverted and creative. Her love of fashion and the way she uses accessories to express her innate sense of style inspires everyone she meets.

A perfume for you if you are feeling Bold, Creative & Stylish. It is a Vivid Woody Floral type of fragrance. The bottle it self is simple and straight forward. No caps on top, just a studded gold detailing black ribbon with the pump on top. Notes : Floral Accord, Ebony Woods Accord, Jasmine Sambac China Absolute, Tuberose, Suede Musk, Patchouli. I would wear this to any occasion day or night. It gives me the feeling of being an independent women and preppy chic.

Nature Republic Hawaiian Fresh Clay Pack Review

Clay mask and all sorts of slapping creamy type of mask on ma face, I'm in. I just love and I find it is a fun thing to do. Smearing all that mud looking products on my face, wait for it to dry and wash it of. That feeling is just me. Attracted by the packaging and how creamy this clay mask looks like. I'm sold. That gray looking mud just really attracts me. This is the Nature Republic Hawaiian Fresh Clay Pack. This is one of the products in Nature Republic Hawaiian Fresh series. They also have a cleanser, toner and a emulsion in this series. I have the toner and this mask. I had this for a long time and have tries it a few times back a few months ago. i bought this from Hermo Malaysia, this always sold out so if you get the chance to grab it, go grab it fast. They always restock it too, So don't worry.

This is a mask that helps pore-cleansing, tightens pores, and after using it your skin will feel fresh, soft, and smooth. This mask comes in a clear pvc box with some hawaiian vibe design on it. I love it. The jar it self is a double wall plastic jar with a silver look alike lid on it. As you open it, it is secure with another layer of cover on top to protect the mask inside. First impression, the refreshing scent it self. I don't know how to describe the scent but it smells really good. 

I apply this using my foundation brush. Applying this is like applying face paint on your face. Easy and does not mess up easily. I waited for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes my face feels a bit tight. I rinse it off with a room temperature water. My skin feels smooth, my pores feels but the only main thing I feel is that my skin feels a bit dry and tight. I have a combination skin, and I feel that this mask works best for people who have oily skin. It does helps to tighten pores, but if you have dry skin, make sure to apply a good hydration moisturizer or serum after wards.

This Nature Republic Hawaiian Fresh Clay Pack in 95g jar retails for RM39.00 and you can purchase it at here - Hermo Malaysia.
