Review : Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation ( 6.5)

Okay lama tak review about liquid foundation. Lately I macam giler nak try liquid foundation so I bought a few. Happy sebab dulu I macam tak reti the proper way to blend the liquid foundation so I prefer pakai compact powder but now maybe sebab trend and byk tool yang senang guna untuk apply liquid foundation seperti beauty blender , so result memamg seemlessly and cantik atas face.

Anyway, harini I nak review pasal Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation. I beli pun sebab I baca a lot of good review pasal foundation ni sesuai untuk kulit berminyak ( I kulit combination but oily on the T zone) . I beli pun on Black Friday Sale so dapat 20 % discount.



And to start, I really love the packaging. Cantik je kan. It's remind me of KVD Tatoo foundation. I'm in the shade 6.5. (kalau yang naked to 7.0 ). I amik one tone lighter sebab banyak review cakap foundation ni cepat oxcidize. So colour dia macam agak lighter sket.  This foundation memang output dia very matte so if korang jenis suka dewy finish boleh la letak banyak highligher.



my verdict :

First I pakai this foundation I memang frust giler. My skin nampak macam kering and dia emphasize my pores kat bahagian hidung. Rupanya I salah. and I dont give up sama macam first time I pakai TF Born This Way. Masa first I pakai the All Nighter I pakai brush biasa ( Real Technique Expert Face Brush - if I am not mistaken ) so output dia menyedihkan. Maybe the way I apply salah. I dont apply with beauty blender . But I dont give up.I try again this foundation. I prep my face with sunblock je , I dont apply primer lepas tu I guna Zoeva 125 Stippling Brush.



Only one pump of the foundation and you done! complete untuk semua muka. I dont use buffing technique but just stipple je kat muka. (Boleh tengok tutorial Syed Dewa guna dalam tutorial dia guna Urban Decay) 

Overall, I suka this foundation. Because normally I go for dewy finish punya foundation and I have to set with loose powder lepas tu. But guna Urban Decay All Nighter ni I tak set dengan powder pun.

Review : Kiehl's Iris Extract Activiting Treatment Essence

Finally I've got a chance to make a quick review about this Kiehl's Extract Activiting Treatment Essence. 



This essence comes with a twist open cap to reveal a small rift opening that dispenses the treatment essence. This essence reminded me about the SKII essence but the SKII essence is quite lighter in texture and easily to absorb compared to this essence. I think this essence is quice similar to Estee Lauder Micro Essence. It has thicker than water consistency but absorbed into the skin leaving no residue which is great.

I love the light scent from this essence compared to SKII essence ( which smell abit meh for me )


Anyway, according to Kiehls this essence ;

Reactivates Skin’s Youthful Look for Smoother, Radiant Skin Unique, velvety liquid concentrate delivers anti-aging and hydrating ingredients to skin’s surface layers With Iris Florentina Root Extract, known for its deeply nourishing and anti-aging benefits to skin With Lipo Hydroxy Acid (LHA) to activate skin’s natural exfoliation process and Sodium Hyaluronate to replenish skin and smooth fine lines Visibly improves the appearance of fine lines, dullness, and rough texture over time Your essential “first step” anti-aging treatment to maintain skin’s youthful texture, reduce fine lines, and activate radiance


How I use it ?

After cleansing and toning, I use a few drops of this treatment essence into my palms, spread them together and gently press all over my face and neck. You can pat until it is all absorbed otherwise just let it soak into the skin then apply the usual serum and moisturiser.



Overall ( the verdict) ; Been using for more than 4 weeks.

I love this essence. It makes my skin feel hydrates, soft and maybe a lil bit brighter ( I dont know because I also use other product for brightening)


Price : RM188 ( 200ml)

Review : SKII Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask

This would be the most amazing mask I've ever tried and of cos it is an expensive mask tho...I got it together with my steampower kit.

The essence from this mask is milky type and kinda thick. I used it for 30-45 minutes before I removed it and the balance from the sheet i use on my neck and chest..save it until the last drop tho. :)


Then , I would apply my FTE followed with my steampower cream..

This mask is totally awesome, I can see the different on my skin brightening instantly after I used it. But , yeh it is not a cheap product..but yeh it is a good product!!
okay ignore hidungku yg bolat..I

Review : NARS Sheer Glow Liquid Foundation ( Med Dark 2)

I did some short view about this product on my previous entry if I'm not mistaken . Plus, I also did a few short comparison between my MAC Studio Fix Fluid.

Well, honestly I do love this liquid foundation. It has no spf compared to MAC Studio Fix Fluid so it will look great on photo . In term of the texture ; the texture is kinda runny compared to MAC but  it quite easily blend to the skin.

The color which i chosed is medium dark 2, which kinda dark and yellowish but the best thing it does not oxidize and at the end of the day the color turn to be exactly like my skintone .It also leaving my skin dewy without being overly greasy looking.

It stay quite long on my skin which was perfect. The coverage is medium to full coverage .

The only thing that bother me is the foundation does not comes with pump. I had to pay extra RM20 for the pump and normally the pump is always out of stock.

Overall I love this...yeaa!!

Price : RM160 +RM20 for pump

Review : Sleek Cream to Powder Foundation (Bamboo)

Hooo finally I manage to make a quick review about this foundation. I was quite skeptical about cream to powder foundation actually because I  have had a bad impression to my previous cream foundation (Revlon & Bobbi Brown ). But to my surprise this Sleek Cream to Powder foundation was totally different.


It wont make my face look oily and it wont stained on the scarf  which was great and I was quite shocked tho.



The color which I choosed was bambo, it suit my skin tone and actually it also brighten my complexion . 


The only thing I detest about this foundation is the packaging and also the sponge. I dont use the sponge because it smells slightly plasticty and rubberry.. I prefer to use my hand and it glides smoothly and easily on my skin.


Overall, I do love the texture and it stays well on my skin which to love :)

Review : Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir edt

I bought this perfume at Sephora a few weeks ago. This would be one of my latest perfume in my collection. Hmm I don't really know why should I bought this perfume. Hee perhaps it's Guerlain. I love it's scent. It's merely like a condensed milk sweet fruity type of scent! Haha~ I am very bad of describing perfume , am i? It's not too overpowering, just nice to wear and normally I wear it when I was going out with my husband.



Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir edt

Inspired by the elegance and eternity of a little black dress, the perfume exudes Parisian chic and gracefulness. It opens with playful and sparkling aromas of black cherry, bergamot, red berries and almond. Bulgarian and Turkish roses rule the heart, further developing with notes of licorice and smoked black tea. Aniseed, tonka bean, vanilla, iris and patchouli form the base. (Fragrantica.com)

Made in : Paris

Staying power is good on me. Overall it's sweet nice fragrance.

Review : Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture EDP

Hey peeps!

I'm going to review another perfume by the designer of Juicy Couture called Viva La Juicy.

The perfume Viva la Juicy was presented as a gourmet floral fragrance, which opens with notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin. The heart encompasses a floral blend of honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine, while the base notes await us with a gourmet rhapsody of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines.- Fragrantica


Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture EDP ( 100ML)

Made in : USA

Obviously I bought the perfume just for the sake of the bottle. It features a weighty feel glass bottle with a beautiful pink bow wrapped around the neck of the topper. It pinned to the bow is two juicy charms. A golden 'J' and the word 'couture' in bubbly letters. In a nutshell, it's an absolutely stunning bottle covered in tasteful and thoughtfully placed juicy charms. Luxurious look definitely.




And how about the scent? It has a girly type of scent, lots of sweet, vaguely fruity scent to me nothing too special and unique about it. It 's wearable perfume day or night. It actually very similar to Katy Perry perfume called 'MEow'. the open notes almost-almost the same with Meow but the middle and base note is differ.The lasting power on me is around 3 to 4 hours.


Review : Maybe Baby by Benefit

Back with another review of perfume. And today I'm going to review a very nice simple yet lasting fragrance by Benefit called "Maybe Baby". I actually bought this perfume a few years ago at Benefit counter in KLCC , if I'm not mistaken. The biggest bottle is 100 ml (which is in different shape) but I only bought 50ml.

100 ml

50ml
Maybe Baby : Top notes: apricot and white ginger; Middle notes: water blossoms, lychee, bergamont; Base notes: white musk and warm peach.(source: here)

Made in : USA

This perfume is fresh, girly young and happy kinda of scent. It's not heavy type  of  scent and suitable for a day time use but still wearable at night. The lasting power was great even though it is only edt . Simple bottle nothing fancy about it. Overall it's okay fragrance and nice to have.  ;)

Review : Sensuous Nude by Estee Lauder

I bought this perfume a few months ago at Aeon Jusco in the Estee Lauder counter. I also got a few samples of foundation and lipstick from Estee Lauder. Yeah thanks to the very nice promoter. Huhu

Sensuous Nude by Estee Lauder 50ml (edp)

According to Fragrantica.com this perfume is :


Composition of the new editions opens with a luminous citrusy blend of Sicilian bergamot and mandarin spiced with bitterish and insolent trace of black and pink pepper. After the spicy citrusy-bitter start, the composition develops with floral nuances composed of jasmine petals and lily of the valley, refreshed with gentle exotic aromas of coconut water and sweetened honey drops and sensual musk veil. A base leaves a warm trail combined of sandalwood, vanilla, amber, heliotrope and woody notes. (Melted Wood Nature Print)
 Made in : Switzerland


Verdict : 

Overall, i do like this perfume it's really suitable for work. It has type of powderly flowery and clean scent which I like. Even-though it is edp but it didnt last pretty long to me. But it's a simple and nice fragrance after all not sweet but okay ;)

Review : Chance by Chanel

Chanel is one of my favorite designer perfume. I must said everything from Chanel line perfume was really unique, luxurious and incomparable to other perfume in the market.


Chance in French means 'luck'. Chanel and Chance sound so similar as if they were created for each other. 
'Chance is a tornado… the door open to adventure and unknown, just like lips ready for a kiss.'

There are pink pepper, lemon and pine apple in the top notes. The heart encompasses hyacinth, jasmine and iris, while the base is composed of amber, patchouli, vetiver and white musk. The perfume was created by Jacques Polge in 2003.(fragrantica.com)

Made in : France
Chanel Chance 50 ml edp

Verdict:
 To me, Chanel Chance is more sweeter warm and classic and young fragrance. It's suitable for young or even middle age people. . A little of Chance goes along way. It has a great lasting power up till 6 hours depending on, I reckoned. But one thing bad about it is the price! ouchhh expensive! yikeess of cost it's Chanel , right? *grinned*

Review : Addict 2 by Dior

Review : Fame by Lady Gaga

Again another celebrity perfume to review! Ha ha ha!

It's Lady Gaga perfume called Fame.
Fame by Lady Gaga 30ml  edp

It's quite famous in the web spreading the news about this perfume a few months back. And that's makes me interested about the perfume, tho :

“[Blood and semen] is in the perfume, but it doesn’t smell like it. You just get sort of the after feeling of sex from the semen, and the blood is sort of primal,” she explained. “And the blood was taken from my own blood sample, so it’s like a sense of having me on your skin.”
And another reason would be the black fluid that would chemically transforms to be clear after it is sprayed and not stain on my cloth as well.


The bottle is like a egg shape to me and designed with an asymmetrical gold claw top, which is meant to resemble a paw. "Paws up" is Lady Gaga's way of saying stand up and be proud of who you are, so the paw not only a clever design, but a symbol for her fans as well.
Lady Gaga Fame includes notes of saffron, honey, apricot nectar, jasmine sambac, tiger orchid, white peony, amaryllis, and black incense.  

Made in:
 I'm not sure where the exact place it actually made of because the bottle says in Spain while the box is in Paris.

Verdict: 
 I bought this perfume at Sephora a few days after it been launched and I'm was quite actually surprised about the scent of the perfume. I was expecting that the scent would be musky and woody type but it's just the floral  and sweet type of perfume and I would say nothing too unique about it. But yes, I still bought it.hahaha for the sake of non-fan-of the Gaga ;)

Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears 100ml edp



About the perfume (according to Fragrantica.com )
 In the top notes there are exotic Framboise, black cherry, and plum. The heart features an harmonious dialogue of night orchid, freesia and iris. Amber, musk and vanilla create a dark and warm trail. 


Made in : USA




Verdict:


To me this perfume is fruity-like or candy like perfume. It has the sweetness and the sourness type of smell.The first notes is kinda heavy but then later on, it's turn to be just nice. It last pretty long to me. !Overall I like it ;)
Next hunting...(may not, or yes buying it!) perfume are from : cik Taylor swift, akak Beyonce and adik Niki Minaj .Huhu

Review : Dior Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet

I love Dior perfumes fragrances, and to me their perfumes are very unique not to over powering unlike Chanel  ( eventhought I still have Chanel perfumes in my collection as well ). I have their Miss Dior series, Addict series and nottoforget from poison series. It 's designer perfume and it's quite expensive but I love love them.
And as for today I would like to review Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet, edt. I got this perfume at Parkson and the promoter also gave me the 50ml j'adore Perfume Body Lotion. (^_^). Ohh kalau pi beli perfume kat department perfume counter, sila rajin-rajin mintak free gifts yer! hihih



Dior Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet Eau De Toilette 50ml

Dominant notes of this fragrance are mandarin in the top notes, peony
flowers in the heart and sensual white musk trace in the base note. The
bottle has the same shape, liquid is pink, which contributes to the
feeling of romance
.
(fragantica.com)

Made in : France



Verdict :
To me, this perfumes is nice and sweet but not too sweet as you can wear it in the day time and at work.  The staying power is around 3to 4 hours maybe because it is the edt version. Overall I'm lovin' it!

Review : Meow By Katy Perry

This perfume called " Meow" is a younger sister of Purr which by the American pop singer Katy Perry . This a perfume is actually launched last year in 2011. The perfume shape was definitely the same as her previous perfume but the smell is quite differ to me.


 The fragrance opens with notes of tangerine, pear, jasmine and gardenia; the heart are honeysuckle, lily of the valley and orange blossom, while the sweet base features aromas of amber, vanilla, sandalwood and musk.(http://www.fragrantica.com/)


Made in : U.S.A

Woo I know I'm suck off celebrity perfume even though I'm not that fan of those American singers , some said that celebrity perfume has a cheap smell but it's contradict to me. What I love about the celebrity perfume is actually their bottles...To me,it is so darn cute I must said and I should get it for my collections ;)



Meow by Katy Perry (eau de parfum )- 50ml


 Okay now about the smell, compared to Purr , to me this is more lightly fruity , cotton candy and sweeter version. Yehh I  memang suka perfume bau sweet-sweet ni.




One thing for the down part of this perfume is ........its lasting power , it's only stays on me merely 3 hours. Huhu...but still okaylah yeh!
Price to me was okay, you can get cheaper in Sasa and lots lots cheaper in Strawberry.net. Huuu but I still dont dare myself to buy there. hehehe...it's addictive bro! bahayyaaaa and I don't advice you all too !! hahaha

Review : Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempicka




Lolita Lempicka fragrance is based on licorice. Beautiful anise
note is a perfect match to licorice and violet. The intensive green ivy
note is fresh and optimistic. The almond is in harmony with woodsy iris
and sweet vanilla, united with heliotrope and Tonka. It was created in
1997

Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempicka edp 100ml


Notes:



Made in : France
Style:
A sensual, romantic, and enchanting fragrances. 





Verdict :
The bottle is adorable and purple is my favourite color. The frangrance? To me it's sweet and creamy but not super sweet. It has a unique smell. It also has a great lasting power to me 6-10 hours on skin and if I'm sprayed it on my shirt it will last for 3 or 4 days.. and overall,I love it. :)
