Skin Food Buckwheat Loose Powder

Here is the review that Blair has requested... sorry for the delay, Blair.. :)

Description (from http://eng.theskinfood.com/):

This loose powder with its soft, fine particles offers a bloomingly radiant, flawless finish.
Buckwheat oil creates incredibly transparent, shine-free skin tone, with silky-smooth texture.

* Use:

After foundation, dap gently in following order: forehead→eyelids→cheeks→lips.

Press remaining residue gently under eyes.

My thought:

I love the packaging, but it's kinda bulky so it's not really convenient to bring it along... the texture is really smooth so it's easy to apply with. and the scent is really nice.. this loose powder doesn't really have much coverage but the oil-control is really good.. there's a big difference between when i'm using this loose powder and when i'm not.. my face is less oily with this loose powder..

Rating: 4.5/5

Repurchase: Yes! i love this even if it's my first ever loose powder!

YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara

Description (from http://www.yslbeautyus.com/):

An intense look in a single stroke with our must-have industry leading mascara.

The secret? The triple-film complex. A coating film for intensity, a conditioning film for curve, a fixing film for long-lasting effectiveness. Even the brush applicator combines nylon fibers of varying diameters for volume enhancement as never before.

My thought:

When i first open the cap, i immediately fell in love with the scent.. the scent is really nice.. and even when i've applied it on my lashes, it's still there.. but it's kinda hard to apply, or probably it's just me cause i don't usually use mascara.. although it claims for the volume effect, it doesn't really volume up my lashes, instead it does good on lengthening.. here's how it looks on my eye (sorry for the crap picture, i've tried to take it on different ways but i still don't know how to take a nice picture of my eyes :p)

Rating: 4/5 (because of the scent and the lengthening effect!)

My thought:

I got this from Nic :) it's kinda bulky but it's easier for me to hold than the YSL mascara.. and it's easy to apply.. as it claims it doesn't smudge easily and really good on volumizing lashes.. my eye lashes are thicker with this.. but the only thing that bugs me is it's kinda hard to apply on the lashes in the corner of my eyes..

here's how it looks on my eye lashes:

Rating: 4/5

Comparison between YSL and CG mascara:

Which one do you think is better? i like the volumizing effect from CG but also like the lengthening effect from YSL..

SK-II Miniature Set!!

I was so happy to receive this package when i got home after class yesterday, i've been waiting for it.. I was really surprise to see that the packaging is really small, just the size of my palm.. well, these are miniature size.. what more could i ask..

here is my haul:
SK-II Facial Clear Lotion (2), SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, SK-II Facial Clear Solution, SK-II Skin Refining Treatment, Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil, YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils..

I've always wanted to try SK-II products, but was too afraid that after i purchase the full size bottle and it doesn't suit my skin.. so, when i saw there's an online shop here that selling the miniature size of SK-II, i can't resist myself to lay my hand on them! LOL.. I initially just wanted to try Facial Treatment Essence and Skin Refining Treatment, but there's an oily skin packet so i decided to get the packet instead.. but their Cleansing Oil was out of stock, so i change it to Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil, also in travel size.. They're also selling cosmetics in miniature size and i was interested with the YSL Mascara.. so, that's pretty much what i've purchased.. =)

this is how the YSL Mascara looks like, it is really small, perfect for traveling.. I haven't tried the mascara yet, will update you guys if i've tried it..

P.S.: don't forget to check my sidebar, there are some giveaways on going.. Good Luck!!
