Sleek I-Divine Palettes - Safari and Storm

2010-01-22T23:13:00.000-08:00

Guys, I recently got 2 sleek palettes from UK!! I'm really really excited and can't wait to blog about it and today finally I get a chance to do it. They have so many great eyeshadow palettes to choose from and I decided to try Safari and Storm. I'm impressed! The color is so pretty and pigmented. Totally a hit! Here are my sleek palettes:

The one on the left is Safari and the right one is Storm

Safari palette's swatches:

Storm's palette's swatches:

Safari is colorful, playful, and fun. Storm is more natural, easy to wear, perfect for everyday look.

I would say that they are impossible to find here in States but I want to get more of them. They are amazing.
I want to CP them right from UK. If you're interested with these palettes, shoot me an email at whiteangel1419 [at] gmail.com so we can combine our shipping.

Sleek have several palettes that are permanent:
Original,
Chaos,
Storm,
Acid,
Sunset

and some that are limited edition:
Jewel,
Safari,
Curious,
Graphite

My next palettes will be Graphite, Original, Curious, and Sunset.

How about yours?

Review : 5 most loved & hated ELF (Eyes Lips Face) Products

2010-01-11T17:01:00.000-08:00

I believe most of you have tried ELF's products. For those of you that haven't, it might be a useful guideline of what to get. All of their products are only $1 and $3 for their studio line products.
You can get them at their official website here or at Target.

Here are my 5 most loveeed ELF products and 5 that I regret buying.

My #1 most loved ELF product :

Definitely their Eyeshadow brush
(Whenever I want to apply my eyeshadow I always reach for this brush. My HG eyeshadow brush)

#2 ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit in Dark

# 3 ELF Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
(The bronzer is amazing.. People usually compare it to NARS Orgasm/Laguna blush & bronzer)

#4 ELF Foundation Brush
(super cheap but works wonderfully)

#5 ELF Cream Eyeliner in Black
(a lot of product for its price. Long lasting.)

I have more on my loved list, but that was my top 5.

Now 5 ELF products that I regret buying are:
(Basically they sit on my train case all the time. useless!)

#1 ELF Tone Correcting Concealer
(didn't work)

#2 ELF Studio Under Eye concealer & Highlighter
(didn't work as well)

#3 ELF Mineral Eyeshadow
(messy. messy. messy.)

#4 ELF Sugar Kiss False Eyelashes in Bling
(messy glitter on the eyelashes)

#5 ELF All Over Color Stick
(didn't like the texture)

Note : Something that didn't work for me doesn't mean it will not work for you. It's just my personal opinion that I would like to share. People have different opinion. Overall ELF is a great cosmetic company that carry excellent products that exceed my expectation. Great price. Great customer service. Love ELF... ok everyone, hope it helps!

Haul & Review - Japanese Drugstore Makeup

2010-01-08T00:58:00.000-08:00

Happy Belated New Year everyone!!! Hope you have a wonderful year ahead of you~~

I just finished my first week of school.. fiuh~~ and YEY for weekend! :D
I'm going to watch Sherlock Holmes (hopefully) tomorrow night.. :) My sister said it was better than Avatar?? Idk.. Let see... LOL..

Guys, I've done a lot of online shopping during my winter holiday and some of my stuff are not even here yet! >.<

So let's just start with few items that I already got, which is from Adambeauty.com. They shipped my items within 2 days and the package arrived after 15 days. Well I think it's not bad since it was sent from HK to San Francisco and it was during busy Christmas time.

From left to right :
Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PU-2 (new color replacing the discontinued PU-1),
Kate Deep Trap Eyes in BR-1,
Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge in Pk-3, and
Coffret D'or Full Styling Rouge in BE-179 (Glow range)

All of them are from Kanebo. In my opinion Kanebo has the best product lines compare to other Japanese makeup brands.

This is my first Japanese Drugstore Makeup Haul and I would say that I'm impressed with the packaging~~~ esp. the Lavshuca one!

Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PU-2 creates an elegant purple look and Kate Deep Trap Eyes in BR-1 gives you more of the natural glow...

The color itself is not very pigmented as you can see below. I have to swatch it few times.

Love Love Love the lipstick... I'm a huge fan of lippies and I think these babies are amazing...

But when I tried it on, Lavshuca lipstick looks very pretty on my lips but it was kinda drying where Coffret D'or one is more creamy and moisturizing but the color didn't show up really well on my lips.
The combination of both will be perfect!! If I can just have Lavshuca's color and packaging + Coffret D'or quality in one lipstick! LOL..
I would still recommend them though if you want to try Japanese Drugstore makeup. Definitely get both of this!

Hope you guys enjoy it~~~ tell me what you think...

Merry Xmas 2009!

2009-12-24T03:06:00.000-08:00

Hello guys, what have you been up to?? Tell me about it!
It's been a lonely week for me.. I have to spend my Christmas here without my family.

Therefore, to cheer myself up, I've done some online shopping during this winter break! HoHoHo...
I ordered few items from adambeauty, The Body Shop, Missha, and Sephora.
A lot of websites are having sale right now. If you're also thinking of having a "Christmas Online Shopping Time " like me you can check them out on my blog's side bar. I update them regularly.
So yes more reviews and hauls are coming up soon!

I also have been thinking of doing a makeup tutorial especially for Asians' eyes because most of asians' girls, like me, have no/small eyelids so doing an eye makeup may become a problem for some of us. So yeah I'm working on it.. stay tuned!

That's about it.. Have a little merry Christmas!
Stay safe and warm..
Love you...

Another Haul & Review - Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipsticks

2009-12-16T11:02:00.000-08:00

Let me introduce you to my my current life saver.. Trangggg~~~
Rough Interdit Satin Lipsticks collection from Givenchy!

I got them like last week and I fell in love with them..
I have a very dry lips especially in the winter like this... >.< (hate that!) and I'm not a big fan of lip gloss. so I usually prime my lips with lip balm and then layer it with one of these beautiful color.
Try them at Sephora and you will know why I ♥ it so much..

I have them in #11 (Rose Desire), #25 (Rose Caprice), #13 (Tempting Coral), and #23 (Fantasy Pink)

The swatches :
#11 is a very pretty baby pink color (My fave out of these four)
#25 is a pale pink color (didn't show up really well on my lips but might go well with smokey eyes)
#13 is a peach color (Perfect for every season)
and #23 is a HOT pink color! (Compliments the natural eye shadows color)

Unique packaging.. Very pretty..
Totally satisfied with my purchase! :)

Haul & Review - Missha

2009-12-16T03:55:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I purchased several Missha's product few weeks ago so I was thinking of having a Haul post. It was my first purchase that I made from them. I ordered online from their US website during Thanksgiving holiday when they were having a 40% disc on their entire website. However, the package just arrived last week. Quite slow compare to other websites which I also shopped at during Thanksgiving.

For those of you who are not familiar with Missha, Missha is a South Korea-based retailer of body, bath, skin care and make-up products. They are Korean road shop brand or equivalent to drug store makeup here in US.
If you live in United States, you can buy it online from here or you can check their store location here

Few things that I got:

Missha Shimmering Oven Blusher #11 in Shimmer Shiner
Missha The Styke Silky Shadow Duo #13 (Natural Heaven) & #7 (Sand Blow)
Missha The Style Dual Eye Tip in BE01
Missha Luminous Color Lip Rouge in CR302

I also received several samples from them:

Missha Garden Pleasure Honey&Lilac Shower Gel
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #23 (Natural Beige)
Missha Super Aqua Hydrating Emulsion
Missha Super Aqua Hydrating Toner

Missha Shimmering Oven Blusher comes in 3 colors : #11 (Shimmer Shiner), #12 (Shimmer Blossoms), and #13 (Shimmer Shade)
I tried their #11 and wouldn't say #11 is a blush, it's more of a highlighter with tons of shimmer in it like its name.
Very pretty packaging. The size is hugeee for a "blush".

It also comes with a nice applicator unlike most of drugstore makeup applicators

Beautiful shimmering white color
(Sorry for the bad pic, I will try to come out with better pic next time)
They are having a sale on Shimmering Oven Blusher right now. You can get it for only $9.99 (regular price is $19.99)

Next is their Eye shadows, I bought #13 (Natural Heaven) & #7 (Sand Blow). Sorry, no swatches because their eye shadows are not very pigmented. Hardly shows on my skin even though I swatch it over and over again. They're very soft though. The only color works for me is the darker brown on the right side of Natural Heaven.

If you want to try their eyeshadow, I recommend you getting this duo eyeshadow/eyeliner instead

It is The Style Dual Eye Tip in BE01
Left is the eyeshadow and right is the liner

And next is the #302 lipstick

Here is the swatch of the #302 lipstick. It's a medium soft coral/orange color with a little shimmer on it but looks matte on your lips. It's not very moisturizing though. It contains SPF 11.

They gave few samples with my purchase

The shower gel is actually pretty good, I love its Honey & Lilac smell, remembered me of good old times

Their bb cream is so-so. I like my L'egere bb cream better. It's also looks grayish compare to L'egere. However, it contains a very high SPF, 42!!! Unbelievable... I might get it solely for a sunscrean purpose. LOL.

Missha Super Aqua Hydrating Emulsion & Super Aqua Hydrating Toner. Both are very good. I have a very dry skin especially in winter. It makes your skin feel fresh and moisturize. May felt a little bit sticky at first but a very very good toner & moisturizer. Definitely a buy.

Let me know what you think of Missha~~~

More hauls and reviews coming up soon!
