some stuffs i've bought recently and that i like...

1) Elianto Miracle Multiplex BB cream in #03 Sandy Beige

i know this brand sounds damn ulu, but i happened to read a review about it and decided to purchase it. i think it's quite a good bb cream cos i like it's colour and texture. it has 3 shades and cos i always wanna look not-so-pale so i chose the #03 sandy beige shade and i think it's just nice for me. :) the past bb creams i've used before includes skinfood's aloe sun bb cream in #2 and thefaceshop's quick and clean bb cream. i didn't like them as much as this cos the texture for those two are thicker and skinfood's and thefaceshop's made me look very ghostly after application. (even though i applied a really thin layer!)

i think my skin does look dewy and glowy after i apply the elianto's bb cream, and i will dust a layer of powder over it. the other day i was at watson's, a promoter commented i have very good complexion. i thought she wanted to recommend me some products, but in the end she only complimented my complexion and then happily left me on my own. lols. i was wearing this bb cream with my "hello flawless" powder dusted over it, topped with my ettusais blush. :p

so i guess this is not bad huh?

2) Benefit "Hello Flawless" powder in HONEY

this is damn cool. i actually am very in love with it, cos the shade fits my now-tanner skin tone. it can be applied with either the brush or sponge (both are included in the purchase. when used with brush, it's for a lighter coverage; when used with sponge, it's for a heavier coverage.) i actually just brush the powder with the brush over my face after i apply the BB cream and the oil-control of it is pretty good. :)

3) Ettusais blush in PK1

i bought this partly because i wanted that pink polka-dotted luggage. haha. but it's a pretty good blusher nonetheless. i alternate between this and my chanel blush. im aiming for dior's blush in strawberry sorbet after i finish chanel's. :p but this will remain as one of my off-to-school staple cos it's cheaper (S$29), good and very compact in size.

4) Nivea Hydro Care lip balm

this is a really good lip balm cos a portion of my lower lip has been dry and cracked recently. i bought this and it really moisturizes and helped to heal my lips within 2 days! :p plus it gives a nice glossy effect after application, so being the lazy me... i can skip my lip gloss. haha.

5) Skinfood Agave Cactus Cream (Light)

initially when i saw this, i was quite apprehensive. firstly, it was too expensive at S$59.90. secondly, even though i was looking for a more hydrating moisturizer for my sensitive skin to use as a night cream, the whitening properties of this cream kinda put me off (even though it has anti-wrinkle properties which sounds attractive). the last thing i want was for my pale-looking face to look more ghostly. but anyway, i took a risk, bought this and started using it yday. i think it's really good and hydrating. :) and my sensitive skin didn't have an allergic reaction to this! yay.
