Anna Sui Autumn 2014 Make Up Collection, Gel Eyeliner, Loose Powder Foundation, and Lipstick V

Hello lovelies,

oh gosh, where should I start, it's like THE items of this season from Anna Sui Autumn 2014 Make Up Collection. Why am I so worked up? Look at the image below:

-*-


Does that image above need any details?
I got a 'star' struck when I opened it. So beautiful and gorgeous at the same time. And somehow it reminds me, has Anna Sui ever let us down? Her products are always beautifully crafted and made into these work of art. She has never put anything 'on the shelf' if it's not hers and hers truly.

-*-


My Lip Stick V is in 400.

-*-

The details are given on the box, from the precautions to the ingredient list.

-*-


The box and the exterior itself are so beautiful. I'm out of words, like literally.

-*-

Still gasping? Wait, for this one, the Loose Powder Foundation, an applicator and powder in one.

-*-


Mine is in 102
with SPF 20 PA++

-*-

Like, I really want to get them all, the whole complete collection of Autumn 2014. Everything is collectible worthy.

-*-


The purple black brush, the fragrant loose powder (oh yeah, all in tea rose), the super fine loose powder, the irresistible packaging, everything.

-*-


Then, these stripes, made by the gel eyeliner in 200. Purple, as purple as can be.

-*-



The tip is flexible and very convenient to be used on the eyes area.

-*-


The details on the exterior is similar with their liquid eyeliner collection.

-*-


Here are the details from the box.

-*-


And below, are me using the gel eyeliner and using the lipstick with a brush (in the mode of preserving the star shaped lipstick).

-*-




The gel eyeliner is used on the eyelids and waterlines. And the lipstick can make this pale lips into.

-*-


Beautiful red (shown below).

-*-



It's like coating the lips in a prettiest way isn't it?!

And you can see me reviewing the products at this video:

-*-



As mentioned in the video, I love them, and below is my image using the lipstick with the lip gloss.

-*-


And here without:

-*-



Both of them looks nice ^^

Thank you so much Anna Sui Indonesia

Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara in 02 (Steady Brown), and Volume and Curl in 01 (Black)

Hi all,

I'm so excited with these two babies, have been reading about them everywhere, I'm so looking forward in finally trying Heroine Make mascaras and proof to myself how waterproof they can be.

So, I bought both of them, the long & curl in brown and volume & curl in black.

First, let's take a look of the products shall we?!

-*-


This is the long & curl mascara in brown, even the packaging and details are in brown paper.

-*-


I've been using it for events over and over again.

-*-



Below is the Volume & Curl in black.

-*-


It is written that the mascara able to lift up the eyelashes when used.

-*-


Noticed that both mascara has different shape of their wands.

-*-


Each to make a certain effect on the lashes.

-*-


Here are my before after and the effects of using them.

Left eye using Volume & Curl in black and my right eye is using Long & Curl mascara in brown.

-*-



With volume & curl, the lower lashes are a bit difficult to get a hold on using their wand, long & curl manage to 'grab' them better. And I really like the results using the long & curl. I guess it is depends on the consumer eyes, lashes and eyelid contour and/or shape as for me the volume & curl is looking short compared to the long & curl (duh >.~)

-*-



But I really like the black one as it has made a more 'deeper' look.

Look at the close up photos below to compare.

-*-






For me, the long & curl looks best ^^

And now even thou' these are the S ones and not the new collections of super waterproof (yes, they always has a new ones available on the market) these S type mascaras are already so waterproof. Micellar water cleanser can not budge them at all. I have to use my tough and heavy duty cleanser for an eye makeup remover from The Balm. It was THAT good.

-*-



Overall,

a very recommended mascara, the variations of the brush and shade win enough to satisfy me. The highlight is definitely on how waterproof they are, smudge proof, water resistant, sweat proof as well and everything from rain to swimming.

Personally I would prefer the Long & Curl with any available shade.

I hope I can review the new ones soon and see you then!

(These products are from and bought in Japan, you may find them at any cosmetic stores, price around 1200 yen)

Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush and Coral Flush

Hello everyone,

Baby Lips Color from Maybelline is still a favorite craze among the young. There's colors to choose and soft juicy lips as a result.

-*-



I happen to have more, these are the Berry Crush and Coral Flush.

-*-

Please do read on the details given on each of the packaging.

-*-

The SPF 16 is suitable for daily usage and constant reapplying.

-*-

The lip balms can be used alone or on top of a lipstick, I also like to use it below a lip gloss, it add that depth of sheer shine to the lips, very irresistible.
Since both are still in the lip balm category even thou it's hinted with colors, the moisturizing effect is the highlight I'm look forward into. And they did just nice.

-*-

Below are the result of me using them, as seen , if you're looking for a non glossy lip balm, then this is definitely not the product for you.

-*-

The moisturizing effect itself is light to medium, during dry weather I need to reapply constantly. Use it as needed, reapply as often as you like.

On my lips, the Berry Crush is far more visible than Coral Flush. These results may vary on each of you since our natural lips color may differ from each other. My tips for the maximum benefit would be, use a lip scrub before applying these balms for that super silky smooth result.

-*-


Above are the swatches, upper one is Berry Crush and lower one is Coral Flush, no wonder the Coral Flush doesn't really shown on my lips.

Overall,
a wonderful glossy lip balm that add shine, hints of color according to the shades and a sunscreen for the lips. Suitable for daily usage alone or with a lipstick / lip gloss of your choice.

Thank you Maybelline Indonesia.

5. The product lasts up to 3 months until completely used.

-*-

It's off with those heads, you've probably seen them everywhere, the ad and reviews by bloggers are intense lately, I already try this product before and truthfully, it doesn't show much result, so when I'm about to do this project, I do it halfheartedly but eager to see the 'second' result.

-*-


After 1-2 weeks of showing no real meaning result, I contacted b.liv team, they ask me to send images to them and how I've been using it.

Everything was done correctly, on a cleaned skin with toner. Use it after the toner, like a serum and only on affected areas. Top it off with moisturizer after the serum is set and done.

-*-


Then, they replied my email again by commenting that perhaps my blackheads are the resistant ones, try to use it for 2 weeks more to see the result.

So I did.

-*-


I started wondering in the next 2 weeks, whether there are those like me, and this two weeks guarantee would be a waste, because....

-*-




After using it diligently for 3-4 weeks...

-*-


The product finally shows significant result, yeayyy!!!

Look at my before after images below.

-*-



I hate those congested redness right under the nose and at the sides, now, they are gone. The blackheads are reduces, not all gone, but does vividly reduced (so I'll continue using off with those heads for sure), and the skin looks so much better. Take note that all of those images above are using no makeup whatsoever, as in nude skin, bare, non edited in any way.

Feeling when using it, every single time I can smell the peppermint-ness, but never a warm or heat, discomfort nor tingling sensation, it's all good.

Wow, may I say wow, thank you b.liv.

The Bath Box Vanilla Lip Taffy Sugar Lip Scrub


Hello pretties,

love to see those lips as smooth as possible? Well, this item might be the one that give you that result. A sugar lip scrub by The Bath Box.

-*-



With real sugar, shea butter, beeswax, virgin coconut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, vitamin e, and vanilla flavor *that somehow made it smells exactly like dunkin donut.

The product is so cute with it's 50's black and one style. The aroma of vanilla is like yums! And the oils in it makes the product unique, there are a lot of lip sugar scrub in the market, I must say, this one is the most buttery of them all.

-*-


Lightly scrub the lips in dry condition using Vanilla Lip Taffy Sugar Lip Scrub, just a gentle motions are enough, the thing is, I can't stand the overpowering vanilla scent that really like that vanilla frosting food. It's too much, I can just simply wipe it off with a cotton pad or tissue, but I ended up rinsing it up. However, the result is still visible. those tiny sugars able to clean and picked up the dead skin cells.

Result, a softer and smoother lips that made any lipstick and/or lip gloss glide on nicely.

Thank you @aischatz (instagram).
