Things I like/got in August = August's Favorites?

Mood:

I've been neglecting my blog ever since I started school~ heheheee... (｀_´)ゞ

Oh well, currently rushing on my final work for Design Element... [...] I'm taking a break now. *laughs nervously* So here I am..., blogging~ (＝ｗ＝)/

By the way, I got my favorite Coach wristlet the other day! Woooo, I loveeee this color!(^ω^)~♥

Wanted the wallet too but it's out of stock. Not my luck. *tears*

Oh and..., I got a 15-inch MacBook Pro too! *Double happiness ^_^*

This laptop is mainly for school use though... That being said, I will still stuck on using my shabby Lenovo lappy for most of the time. -__- Anyway, I'M NOT USED TO MACBOOK YET! It's totally different from window computer. Argh... D:

Craps, okaaaay, moving on... [...]

I grabbed a new lipstick from the drugstore weeks ago and it's from Revlon ColorBurst — "070 Soft Nude".

I never had any nude shade lipsticks nor lip-glosses before. Therefore, I wanna try wearing nude color. And I must say..., I REALLY REALLY LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEE THIS COLOR! On the con side, it seems to dry out my lips a little after wearing it for a long day... Other than that, everything is fine, nothing unbearable. :D

Ooops, it's getting late... I have school tomorrow so I guess I shall stop here. Bye peeps. (´･з･)ﾉ

June Favorites!

Mood:

The month of June has ended and the month of July has just started. Sigh, my vacation is ending in about 3 weeks time. Awws~ ):

Anyway, let's get back to topic — (oh yeaaa)  June Favorites!(^ω^)

I actually wanted this post to be up before July. However, I was ill therefore I don't have the mood to update my blog. You know that the FLU is such a bitch. 凸(`з´) *oops, bad word* (｀_´)ゞ 

[...]

So, I will start of with fragrance — Perfume: Lanvin Éclat D'Arpège↴

I absolutely LOVE this perfume! I wear this every time I go out and the fragrance last all day. After shower, I went to bed and woke up, the perfume scent still lingered on me. It lasts an incredible long time. I'm not good at describing scent...but I guess to me, it has a soft and light floral scent and I LOVE the beautiful fragrance!~♥ By the way, I bought it at a really cheap price...so much lesser than the initial $100+ price tag. *laughs nervously* So I will definitely re-purchase it again.

Next, make-up brushes from Ecotools...↴

These brushes are amazing! They are super soft without the irritation of too-stiff bristles or animal hair allergies and they don't shed. Good quality and CHEAP!♪ Loveeee Ecotools brushes!（＾−＾）

Moving on to...Face product: Mineral Finishing Powder from Kevin BeautyMaker. ↴

This mineral finishing powder is completely sheer and ideal for all skin tones. Fragrance, preservative, oil-free. It absorbs oil and minimizes the appearance of lines and pores. Available in 3 shades: #01 Fair, #02 Natural, #03 Tan. Both a brush and puff are included.

I bought it in #02 Natural from an online shopping site. Initially, I was afraid that the shade I chose would be quite dark because normally natural shade looks dark on me. However, it isn't as dark as what I've thought. In fact, the shade is lighter than what I've expected and it matches well with my skin color giving me a natural look. It doesn't clog my pores and make me breakout either. Awesome-ness!~☆

Next, Eyes product: Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner... ↴

I did a review on this the other time ya...? Revlon ColorStay eyeliner is an awesome pencil liner. It glides on smoothly, doesn't smudge or smear and it does last all day. Probably the best out of all the ones I have used.

Last product I gonna talk about... LIP-GLOSS! from Bourjois, Effet 3D - #20 Rose Symphonic. ↴

A glamorous and shimmery pink gloss~ At first sight it seemed too glittery and sparkly, but when I tried it on, it was perfect. Gorgeous color! This is my first Bourjois lip gloss and I really like it so far. Well, I personally don't really like flavored lip gloss but I'm fine with this Bourjois gloss. Might re-purchase it again.

So yea, that's my short and sweet June Favorites! Hope you guys like it. (^ー^)

Review: Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner

Mood:

Recently, I bought a new black eyeliner from Watsons. Before I actually went to the drugstore to make a purchase, I did a small little research about it. Well, as you know...there are a variety of eyeliners out there and some have long lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof effect while some don't. While some claimed that it's long-lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof however, it's not that effective! Choosing an eyeliner, 1)long-lasting, 2)waterproof , 3)smudge-proof and 4)does apply smoothly are very important okay! *laughs*

For me, I prefer using pencil/crayon eyeliner instead of those liquid and gel eyeliner. Anyway, as I've said, I did a small little research on the eyeliner that I was interested in before making a purchase. Ya? I was really afraid that I wasted my money on buying eyeliner that lack of those 4 points I've mentioned above.
I was using Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner previously and it sucks! It claimed that it's smudge-proof however it's DOES smudge! (≧д≦) In the official website, it also claimed that it's waterproof but I don't think it is. Well, I had bad experience using it. Maybe it just doesn't suit me... Therefore, I decided to repurchase a "better" eyeliner from the drugstore~ And I'm smarter this time(laughs!), I did the research before heading down to the drugstore. Yea yeaaa... (*＾д＾*)v  

By the way, the eyeliner I bought was from Revlon, ColorStay! ↴

There are lots of good reviews regarding to this eyeliner...so I bought it. *laughs nervously* I haven't get to try it out on my eyes yet but I tested it out on the back of my hand and rub it with my finger. It does apply smoothly without the tug and pull kind of thing... It glides on really realllly smoothly and doesn't smudge! *thumbs-up* I ran it under the tap and rubbed at it and it still stays intact! So yea, it's definitely water-resistant. Based on this 'experiment', I think that this is a really awesome drugstore eyeliner~☆

For those of you who want your eyeliner to be sharp all the time, ............

Guess what? there's a sharpener at the back of the eyeliner! You can refine the tip using the sharpener whenever you want! Ermmm...information that I read online.......some people said that the sharpener doesn't work. LOL! Have no idea about the sharpener stuff cause I haven't use it yet! (｀_´)ゞ

So......, that's my short review on Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner. Hope you(readers) find it useful~ (´^з･)ﾉ
