REVIEW - Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener

Hi All,
I've heard a lot about this Tinted Eye Brightener from Bobbi Brown and I finally made my way to the store @ Pavilion to try it today.
I've always wanted to buy an eye brightener but being a lazy bum, I'm kinda reluctant to add another product to my daily routine so I scrapped that idea off totally. But this product is kinda great for me coz its a concealer+brightener all in one, so I am so gonna get this soon.

Anyway, back to the product review.
Met with this girl called Sapphira who is a Makeup Artist there. I told her I'm a beauty blogger & we had a good chat. She is so kind to even give me some Skin Foundation sample to try. (will blog that once I've tried it for a couple of days) - **Thanks Sapphira**

Let me tell you, this products work WONDERS!
The brightening formula instantly lift up your eyes area to make them less puffy and the tinted part of it helps to conceal the undereye circle.
A little goes a long way and trust me, your eyes will look much awake almost instantly.
Dust some powder on top of it to make it stays longer.

DO NOT apply on other areas like you do with your concealer coz this is of a pink undertone.

If you're a fan of Bobbi Brown, this is a must have. Recommended for guys too as it looks almost nothing on at all. (dark circle + puffiness is definitely not a beautiful sight)

Tip for Dry undereye area :
Apply eye cream & follow by the brightener immediately. Go light on powder and you will go fabulous hehehe :)

Pro : Lightweight, brighten and conceal all in one (plus point)
Con : Only 3 shades are available so you have to be lucky enough to have the right shade otherwise go back to their Undereye Concealer.

Retailing @ RM120 for 7ml.
Look for Sapphira @ Boobi Brown Pavilion for a consultation.

Cheers .... Coming soon - Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF15 & Bobbi Brown Face Powder (Stay Tuned)

REVIEW - The Face Shop BB CREAM

Well to be frank, I am not a BIG FAN of BB Cream although it is packed with a hell lot of GOODS and not to mention easy-to-apply too. I still prefer the conventional way; sunscreen, make up base & follow by foundation.

Okie that aside, The Face Shop BB Cream is worth recommending simply because it is better than its competitors in the market right now.

Quick & Clean Oil-Free BB Cream is the one in green packaging.
Recommended if you are of fairer skin tone .. Otherwise please apply half an hour before you step out of your house otherwise you will look like applying the wrong shade of foundation and it looks horrible.
All-in-all, a not bad product considering the fact that it contains tea tree oil which is suitable even for blemish skin. It helps to soothe down the redness and even out your skintone.
Oil-free formula is especially good for those with oily skin.
You can even apply this on your eyes area to lighten the dark circle a little.
Although SPF is not being mentioned, but Titanium Dioxide is part of the ingredients and it is a sunscreen ingredient, which protects skin against UVA and UVB radiation. So I reckon, it will help a little.
Recommended for those who just want to even out the skin tone and prefer hassle-free make up. Suitable for guys too.
Retailing @ RM59.90 @ 35ml.

PRO : Oil-Free, Suitable for oily or blemish skin, contains Tea Tree Oil, smells good, affordable
CON : Might look a tad bit ashy if applied too much, No SPF

Well, lets go to the other one with SPF, called The Skin Extra BB Cream SPF20 PA++.
Works almost similarly as the Quick & Clean, only some of the ingredients are different and it comes with SPF.
Application technique and shade are all the same.
Not really oil-free though so please opt for Quick&Clean if you have oily skin.
Gives a radiant glow and again as BB Cream always claim to match your skintone but please bear in mind that it will look a tad bit ashy upon application and you gotta wait till it oxidises to actually match your skintone.
As SPF formula is being added, this product is being sold at a higher price.
Retailing @ RM99.90 for a 45ml.

PRO : contains SPF, smells good (as usual)
CON : a bit pricey

TIPS :
A little goes a long way, so please dont slap it on thinking that it will matches your skintone eventually and it will gives you a better coverage. NO! you will only look ashy and UGLY.
You can also use it as a make up base.
Although a lot of people just go thru the usual cleansing routine, I would personally recommend to use a MAKEUP REMOVER or Double Cleanse to really remove the product from your skin.

MAKEUP Brushes - MAC & The Body Shop

special request from BERNICE

Hi ALL,
I am going to recommend some of the makeup brushes from M.A.C. & The Body Shop (TBS) - which I've personally tried and own.


1. FOUNDATION
I would recommend MAC 187/190 depending on the coverage/look you're going after.
Both works almost similarly ie to blend the foundation so that it won't be blothcy on the skin and more hygienic compared to using your fingers.
The only difference is that MAC 187 will give you a more AIR BRUSH finish. Both work well with almost all sort of foundation be it Liquid, Compact or Cream.

2. BLUSHER BRUSH
I personally prefer to use The Body Shop Face & Body Brush to apply Blusher simply because it is bigger and fluffier. You can also try MAC 129 but I am recommending The Body Shop because it is cheaper and good. I think it is retailing @ RM69.



3. LIP BRUSH
A compact lip brush for the handbag. Ultra-firm with tapered tip. Retracts into its own M·A·C-style casing. Applies any formula of lip colour.
Lip brush is a very good investment as lipstick will tend to stay longer and not easily smudge, by applying with it.
TIPS : If you want to have the EXACT COLOUR of the lipstick to appear on your lips, apply a layer of foundation on your lips before applying your lip color.
To have a luscious and kissable lips, always apply a layer of LIP CONDITIONER beneath your lipstick and MAC has a very good one (refer to the pic below).
I personally like the TINTED LIP CONDITIONER SPF 15 in Soothing Beige as I tend to have dry lips and pale at times. So a bit of colour will definitely help.


MAC 318 & MAC Lip Conditioner SPF 15 (left to right)


4. KABUKI/BUFFER BRUSH
I prefer to apply Loose/Setting Powder with a Kabuki Brush simply because I can buff the product in to really SET the foundation to avoid having touch up regularly.
Both MAC 182 and The Body Shop Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush are recommended (but of course TBS is more affordable)
This brush is also a very good brush to apply MINERAL POWDER as it will gives a flawless finish. You can also use it as a FINAL touchup on your make up. I usually buff the skin LIGHTLY after applying BRONZER & BLUSHER to soothe out any harsh edges and blend the color together to make it more natural.


MAC 182 & TBS Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush (left to right)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, these brushes are definitely NOT cheap. So why not spending a little bit more to get a MAC BRUSH CLEANSER to keep the brush clean (for hygienic purpose, please clean them at least once a week) and last longer. (trust me, this is one good investment)

Most of MAC brushes are made of animal hairs so it is very important to use a proper cleanser to keep it disinfect and well moisturised (just like how you take care of your own hair).
As you know TBS is against animal testing so their brushes are all synthetic fibre, so you can opt to have the MAC cleanser (added luxury) or simply clean it with CLEANSING OIL or SOAP, but make sure to lay the brushes on FLAT surface to dry. DO NOT PUT THE BRUSHES VERTICALLY while they are still damp.
