NEW BUY: Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner Deep Black

Cute pink packaging
~AG~
Previously bought Dolly Wink Liquid Liner in Super Brown. Brown eyeliner creates a soft natural line while black eyeliner gives a stronger look. Now decided to try Dolly Wink Liner in Deep Black. Purchased it for S$25.90 from Watsons. For hygiene purpose, you are supposed to throw out your eyeliner after 3 months of use. But since I do not use liquid eyeliner everyday, I decide to replace mine after 6 months of use. So far, I am a fan of Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner. Stay tuned on my review on whether I like the Deep Black as much as the Super Brown.

REVIEW: Derma-RX Blemish Formula

~AG~

My skin was breaking out quite badly on the 1st week of January. There were more than 5 pimples in the T-zone area, specifically around the brow and nose areas. The pimples were red and angry. It might be because of a combination of late nights, sinful food and makeup. 

As it turns out, I ran out of the Acne Spot Lotion to treat the pimples when I needed it most. So I hurried to DR-X Clinic to replenish the product. The Acne Spot Lotion costs S$32.10. The previous bottle lasts me for over a year, since I only use it for my emerging red pimples. My breakouts are usually sync with the time of the month.While I was at DR-X Clinic, I also decided to get the Blemish Formula (S$95). It comes with 30 ml of blemish-fighting ingredients. The Blemish Formula did help soothe redness and promotes healing.
This product is still must-have for dealing with breakouts. Even though it is pricey, Blemish Formula works effectively to eliminate blemishes. This is one of my HG skincare products.

Below is my current skincare routine. 
Since my skin was in such bad shape, I decided to revert to some DR-X products for my skincare regimen.
1. Son & Park Beauty Water
2. The FaceShop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam
3. Thayers Witch Hazel Aloe Vera Formula Rose Peta (in the morning)
    Derma-RX Toner (at night) 
4. Blemish Formula
5. Derma-RX Max C 
6. Embryolisse Creme Concentre
7. Derma-RX Tinted Sunscreen

REVIEW: Bobbi Brown Illuminating Cheek Palette in Peach

 The top of the palette is bright coral
~AG~

This Bobbi Cheek Palette in Peach contains Havana - a light pink brown,  Pink Coral - a bright nectar and  Peach - a golden highlight. This palette is ideal for those with light to medium skin tones. Bought it last year from Bobbi Brown website for US$50 (S$68). Took me a while to finally try this palette.

The packaging is sleek and compact. Though it does not come with a travel brush. This palette is great to travel with because it comes with 3 different cheek products - blush, bronzer and highlighter. At first I thought that the Pink Coral (shade pictured in the middle) would be too pink for my Asian skin tone. However, if you use a light hand, Pink Coral can brighten up the whole face.Usually Western makeup products tend to be intense for the contour shade, so it might not compliment Asian skin tones. Though, I would have to say Havana is not too brown for my yellow skintone. For reference, I am Chanel Shade 22 Beige Rose. It works well to contour my cheekbones and jaws. My least favorite product is the highlighter, Peach. Because the shade and shimmer is not glowy enough. With that being said, the highlighter is still okay for daily use. But for special occasions, I would stick with Becca Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector.
 From Left to Right: Havana, Pink Coral and Peach

Overall, this is a good everyday cheek palette to use. The shades are flattering and easy-to-use. Instead of bringing 3 products when traveling, this palette has all the cheek products you need. Sad to say that this cheek palette is no longer available on Bobbi Brown . Though they still have a similar cheek palette available called Take It to Glow Highlight and Bronzing Powder Palette

NEW BUY: Pixi Glow Tonic

~AG~
Bought this award-winning Glow Tonic from Pixi when I was in Italy. Been wanting to try Glow Tonic because of rave reviews. Glow Tonic works as toner to be used twice a day. It contains 5% Glycolic Acid that exfoliates and purifies the skin. This toner also includes botanical ingredients such as ginseng to improve circulation and aloe vera to hydrate skin. Since this exfoliating toner removes dead skin cells, it also refines the appearance of pores. This alcohol-free toner balances and soothes skin. Reviews mention that Glow Tonic creates a brighter and glowing complexion after use.
Sephora Singapore is selling Pixi Glow Tonic in 3 available sizes - 15ml, 100ml and 250 ml. 

Cannot wait to try this once I am done with Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner. Stay tuned for my review of this popular product from Pixi.
