REVIEW: Travel-Size Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light

~AG~

Bought Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light to try out. It is great that it comes in a travel size version. It costs US$22 (S$30) for the travel size version. On Hourglass website, the travel size version is available in 4 shades: 
The full-sized version retails for US $46 (S$63) and is available in 6 shades. Since it takes a long time to finish using a compact powder, the travel size version is perfect for me. The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder is an universal powder that recreates the most flattering light sources such as moonlight or candlelight. Each powder captures, diffused and softens surrounding light with groundbreaking Photoluminescent technology. By filtering out harsh lights, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder conceal skin imperfections, pores and wrinkles. The powder is suitable for all skin tones, and can be worn day and night.

Diffused Light is a warm pale yellow which is suitable for Asian skin tones. It conceals redness and gives skin clarity like the soft morning light.  I use the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder to set my concealer. It is a good soft powder that does not make the skin looks cakey. In terms of brightening, it does have finely milled shimmers, but the shimmers are less than that of highlighters and blushes. Overall, Hourglass Powder is a good powder to have to create a natural radiance. I would not hesitate to try the other shades available.

NEW BUY: Tatcha Pore-Perfecting Moisturizer and Cleanser Duo

 Tatcha Pore-Perfecting Duo
~AG~

Bought this Tatcha Pore-Perfecting Moisturizer & Cleanser Duo for USD $25 (S$34). Been wanting to try Tatcha skincare products because of the raved reviews. This Pore-Perfecting Duo contains mini-version of The Water Cream (10ml ) and The Deep Cleanse (50ml). Travel-sized skincare products are a great way to try new products. You pay a smaller amount to test the skincare products and see whether it works for your skin. For example, the full-size of Tatcha Water Cream (50ml) retails for USD $68 (S$93). Tatcha Deep Cleanse (150ml) retails for USD$38 (S$52). Since my skin is rather sensitive, I love trying travel-sized skincare products to make sure my skin reacts well to them before purchasing the full-sized product. So there is less chances of product regrets.
Tatcha Pore-Perfecting moisturizer and cleanser are designed for normal to oily skin types. The Water Cream is an anti-aging moisturizer that hydrates while creating a poreless-looking skin. The Deep Cleanse is purifying cleanser that gently unclogs pores and balances skin's moisture. It contains clarifying extracts from Japanese Luffa fruit to naturally exfoliate skin. These oil-free products are made without sythentic fragrances, DEA, TEA and sulfates. 

Cannot wait to try these Tatcha Pore-Perfecting products. Look out for my reviews of The Water Cream and The Deep Cleanse.

REVIEW: Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara Waterproof

Travel-sized Better than Sex Mascara
~AG~ Bought this travel-sized version of Waterproof Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara from Sephora for Euro 11-12 (SGD 18). This highly raved Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara is a volumizing mascara with an hourglass-shaped brush. It claims to volumize, lift and coat every lashes. This waterproof has water-resistant polymers for sweat-proof, waterproof and play proof wear. Since mascaras tend to smudge on me, I figured a waterproof version will be the safest one. This Too Faced mascara contains porcelain flower extract to moisturize and condition lashes. It also has unique peptides for deep, black lashes. 

I had high hopes about this Too Faced Mascara because I heard good things from friends. I tried using it for the first time last week. I curled my lashes and then applied two coats of Too Faced Mascara. This mascara does volumize my short Asian lashes. It held the curls well, compared to Tarte, CoverGirl or Maybelline mascaras. 

Unfortunately, Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara smudged to my lower eyelids in less than an hour. I was unpleasantly surprised by it. How could a waterproof mascara that claims to be sweat-proof and play-proof smudge to my lower eyes area in less than an hour? I wonder is it because of my under eye concealer? But I set my under eye concealer with a loose powder to matte it. 

In conclusion, I would not recommend this Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara because it is not smudge proof. Even though it does volumize and darken my laskes, wearing this mascara has resulted in unwanted raccoon eyes for me. So a big NO for this waterproof mascara.

NEW BUY: Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Pressed Powder

Photo Credit: Sephora.com
~AG~

My HG Ettusais Quick Fix Powder had hit pan, so I decided to try a new pressed/setting powder. Walked into Sephora to look for a setting powder, and was confused with the numerous products there. I remember that Make Up For Ever (MUFE) is popular for their HD powder. The saleslady at the Make Up For Ever area suggested the Ultra HD Loose Powder, as it gives a more luminous finish. However, loose powder can get too messy for my liking. So I decided to buy the MUFE Ultra HD Pressed Powder in 01 Translucent. It costs S$61 for a 6.2g pressed powder. A heavy price tag for a pressed powder.

According to Sephora Singapore, Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Pressed Powder is a micro-finishing pressed powder that gives a light matte effect and smooth, luminous finish. The invisible veil of powder combines synthetic mica, silicone powders and silica to instantly blur fine lines, pores and imperfections for a beautifully smooth complexion. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, ULTRA HD Pressed Powder also has moisture-retaining benefits.

After reading this, then I realized that this pressed powder contains hyaluronic acid. My skin does not react well with hyaluronic acid. Hope this MUFE Pressed Powder can work well on my skin and does not trigger any bumps. Will give a review of this product after an extended use of this pressed powder. Stay tuned!

REVIEW: Vaniday Benefit Cosmetics Brow Waxing @ Sephora Bugis+

~AG~

For some reason, brow waxing is not as popular in Singapore. When I lived in California, there were many options to go for brow waxing. I tried the Benefit Cosmetics Brow Bar at Ulta Beauty, Anastasia Brow Studio at Nordstrom and a local beauty salon. In my opinion, brow waxing is not as painful as threading or tweezing. Plus, brow waxing seems to better for my sensitive skin than threading. The only cons of brow waxing is that it takes a longer time than threading. A regular brow waxing will take 20-30 minutes while threading takes less than 10 minutes. As the strips of paper come in a standard size, it is difficult for 100% waxing to get the perfect brow. Not to worry, a professional eyebrow person will also tweeze some areas of the brows for more precision. 

Brow waxing by Benefit Cosmetics is done at almost all Sephora Singapore stores. It costs S$26 and takes about 20 minutes. There is some pros and cons of having the Benefit Brow Bar at Sephora stores. The biggest pro is that there are numerous Sephora stores in Singapore, so it is convenient for the customers. There are ten Benefit Brow Waxing Locations @ Sephora. The cons would be the waxing is done in an common area so there is no privacy. The seating is not as comfortable as you sit straight. It would be better if the seat could recline.

My review is for the brow waxing service at Sephora Bugis +. My eyebrow expert was Noli, and he is the only eyebrow expert at Sephora Bugis+. First off, Noli asked whether I had done brow waxing before and whether I was on any medication. Secondly, he asked about my preferred eyebrow shape. Before the waxing process, he tested a little wax on my hand. 

He worked on my left eyebrow first - carefully waxing the top, bottom and sides. Additionally, he also tweezed and used a scissor to trim the brows. After he was done with my left eyebrow, he showed me the finished look before moving on to the other brow. As there was one area which had an odd strand by itself, I asked him about it. He asked that if he removed that one strand, my left brow will not be the same length as my right brow. Without asking, he told me not to worry as he will show me how to fill in my brows later. After he was done with my right eyebrow, he cleaned up the waxed area and then applied aloe vera to soothe the skin. As my skin was red, he applied some powder before filling in my brows. He showed me an easy way to fill in the brows. Basically, you fill in the outline of your brows lightly and then blend the colors by using the spoolie brush.

As Vaniday had a 20% off promotion, the brow waxing costs only $20.80. What a good deal! I would recommend brow waxing at Sephora Benefit Cosmetics if you are looking for an alternative to threading and tweezing. The eyebrow expert, Noli, was highly skilled and professional. I especially like the after-care service. I would definitely come back to Sephora Benefit Cosmetics for brow waxing in the future.

NEW BUY: Living Proof No Frizz Travel Kit

Living Proof No Frizz Travel Kit
No Frizz Shampoo, No Frizz Conditioner and No Frizz Nourishing Cream
Bonus: No Frizz Leave-in Conditioner
~AG~
Bought this Living Proof No Frizz Travel Kit from Sephora Singapore many months ago. I cannot remember how much I paid for, probably close to S$40. It retails for US $29 on sephora.com. 
This No Frizz Travel Kit comes with: No Frizz Shampoo (60ml), No Frizz Conditioner (60ml) and No Frizz Nourishing Cream (60ml). Since Singapore is a high humidity place, this No Frizz products come in handy to combat frizziness. My wavy and unruly hair is especially prone to frizziness. 
No Frizz keeps frizz at bay so hair stays soft and smooth even on the days you don't wash and style. Powered by our Healthy Hair Molecule (OPFMA), the biggest breakthrough in anti-frizz technology in over 30 years, No Frizz blocks humidity 70% more effectively than silicones
The claim that it can block humidity 70% more effectively than silicones is interesting. Silicones are not my preferred anti-frizz ingredient as it can weighs hair down. Stay tuned for my review of the No Frizz Travel Kit. Hope it can work as well in Singapore's extreme humidity.

NEW BUY: Sephora Haul

~AG~

Sephora, Sephora, Sephora!
This time around, I was rather selective on purchasing products from Sephora.com. Let me let you in on a secret. I discovered that the Shilla Duty Free priced their products very competitively. Often it is cheaper to buy cosmetics there than in Sephora USA. The only two products I bought from Sephora.com were:
1) Too Faced Born This Way Naturally Radiant Concealer (US$28) in Light Medium
This concealer was recommended by the saleslady at the Sephora store. After trying a few other concealers for my under eye areas, we concluded that Too Faced Born This Way Naturally Radiant Concealer works well for my dry under eye area. Most importantly, the shade Light Medium matched well with my skin tone.
2) Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed (US$38) in Opal
This popular highlighter by Becca has been on my wish list for a long time! Lisa Eldridge, the wonderful makeup artist, first talked about this powder highlighter on her Youtube videos many years ago. 

The other items on my cart were birthday gift and point redemption. I <3 free stuff! Who doesn't?
Redemption of 500 Sephora points for Yves Saint Laurent YSL Covetable Couture Beauty Icons. 
It includes mini-sized versions of: Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils, Touche Eclat Blur Primer, Volutpe Tint-in-Oil and Black Opium Eau De Parfum
Redemption of Birthday Gift which was Fresh Soy Face Cleanser and Rose Face Mask. 
This Day-of-Soiree Swag Sample Bags was also complimentary from Sephora USA. It is their Holiday Sample Bags that contains mini version of beauty products. The one I received included:
Make Up for Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick in C211, Cover Fx Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight, Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover, Origins Modern Friction Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion, Dr Jart+ Every Sun Day UV Sun Fluid Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Erno Laszlo Timeless Skin System Cleansing Duo (Sensitive Skin Duo) - Sensitive Cleansing Oil and Sensitive Cleansing Bar,  ChloĂ© Chloe Eau de Parfum and Elizabeth and James Nirvana White

REVIEW: Benefit Lip Lovin' Tinted Balms

~AG~
These tinted balms hydrate the lips with mango shea butter. It glides on sheer, but is buildable for more color. It is like a lip tint and lip balm all-in-one. It was surprisingly more hydrating than VDL Festival Lip Stick Glow Balm and Dior Addict Lip Glow. These tinted lip balms do wear off after eating or drinking. The staying power is decent for a tinted lip balm, about 2-3 hours.
This trio of mini-version is a great way to try all three colors - benebalm, cha cha balm and posiebalm. This mini version weighs 1.4 grams each, making it very handy for traveling. Each travel-sized version lasts me for about 2 months.

cha cha balm, posie balm and benebalm
benebalm
benebalm has a red tone. The pigment shows up surprisingly well on my skin. It creates a subtle red lips. benebalm also has a nice rose scent. Out of the three, benebalm is the most vibrant. A great lip balm/liptint to brighten the face. 

cha cha balm
The cha cha balm has a sheer peach tone, and was not as pigmented as I had expected. The peach tone was rather muted. I had really high hopes for cha cha balm because I thought it would work for my warm medium skin tone, but it was a disappointment. :(

posie balm
The posie balm has a poppy pink tone. This cool tone will work better for those that have a fairer skin tone. For my warm medium skin tone, posie balm washed out my complexion. *thumbs down*

Top to Bottom: cha cha balm, posie balm and benebalm
The usual price is S$30 for the trio of mini-size, or $10 for each mini-sized tinted balm. That is pricey for a mini-sized tinted lip balm, don't you think? However, with UOB Credit Card 15% discount, the trio costs S$25.50. After the discount, each mini tinted lip balm cost S$8.50. Still a hefty pricetag for 1.4 grams of lip balm. Out of the trio, the one I like most is benebalm because of the vibrant color. Even though I do like Benefit benebalm, I would reconsider repurchasing it because of the not-so-great value for money. But if you have cash to spare, you might want to check these moisturising tinted lip balm.

NEW BUY: Benefit Cosmetics Perfect Hideaway




~AG~

I bought this in December when Sephora Singapore was having 15% discount for UOB cardmembers. This is a value set from Benefit Cosmetics, which retailed for S$42.90. My friend, Stephanie, told me that she liked Benefit Fake Up for concealing dark circles. So I decided to buy a value set to try it out. The reason why I bought the smaller version is because sometimes Benefit Cosmetics under eye concealer can be too creamy and might not work well for Singapore's humid weather.
 
Previously, MG had bought Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional primer and I have had the chance to try it out. It was a decent primer and did not caused my sensitive skin to breakout. POREfessional will be a great addition to my makeup kit. The only primer that I had in my makeup kit is Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance.  I only use Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance for special occasions. I do like it but it has an illuminating effect that can sometimes be too "shiny" for Singapore humid weather. Another primer that has a matte effect will be good to have especially for outdoor makeup looks in Singapore.
 
Please stay tuned for my review on Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up and POREfessional.

NEW BUY: REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel



 
 
 
~AG~
 
I decided to stop using the Etude House White Moistfull Eye Roll-on. I have been using that product for over two months. My eye area does not look any different on days when I have it on compared to days when I do not use it.
 
I bought this REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel (US$30) last June when I was in the States. The saleslady at Sephora had helped me picked out a moisturizer from REN Clean Skincare and so I asked her to also recommend an eye gel/cream from that brand. She recommended the REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel. I told her that I wanted some light to help with my dark circles and puffiness. I also mentioned that I did not want an eye cream that was too rich because it will trigger more milia under my eyes.
 
The packaging is convenient for travelling. It is compact and durable. The eye gel comes in a pump applicator which make is user-friendly. I find that pump applicator is the best form of packaging for skin care products because they dispense the right amount of products, and is more hygienic. My least favourite packaging for eye gel or cream will have to be the squeeze tube, I often find that excess product tends to be squeezed. Thus for pricey eye gel and cream, the squeeze tube may cause the product to go to waste.
 
The description on REN Clean Skincare website makes the eye gel seems very promising with its many active ingredients that are used to help reduce puffiness and fight off dark circles. I will have to use this eye gel for a while to give a comprehensive review on how it helps or does not not help my dark circle and puffiness. Please stay tuned!
 
According to REN Clean Skincare website,  Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel contains:
  • Vitamin P from Damask Rose Water is anti-inflammatory and protects capillary network
  • Flavonoids from Arnica reduce puffiness by stimulating the drainage process
  • Mucilages from Fig soothe and instantly refresh the eye area
  • Polysaccharides from Zostera Marina increase and maintain moisture levels
  • Ginsengoside from Chinese Ginseng boosts circulation in the capillaries
  • Tyrosinase Inhibitor from Wild Canadian Rumex reduces dark pigmentation and redness

Benefit Cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot O' Blushes



~AG~

This cheek palette consists of:
  • Dandelion Brightening Face Powder (Pale Pink highlighter)
  • Belle Bamba 3D Brightening Pink Face Powder (Watermelon Pink)
  • Sugarbomb Sugar Rush Flush Face Powder (Peach, Rose, Shimmering Pink & Soft Plum)
  • Hoola Bronzing Powder
  • Coralista A Rio Pleasure Face Powder (Coral)
  • Rockateur Famously Provocative Cheek Powder (Rose gold)
  • Watt's Up! Soft Focus Highlighter
This cheek palette retails on Sephora USA website for US$36. This is such an affordable way to try Benefit Cosmetics famous boxed powders. A full-sized Hoola Bronzing Powder costs US$28. The full-sized Watt's Up! costs US$30. If I were in the States, I will buy it online asap. I own a full-size of the Sugarbomb Face Powder and it is pretty good. Sugarbomb creates a flattering glow to my cheeks. My younger sister, MG, own a full-size Coralista Face Powder. I have tried it on several occasions and I will have to say that the powder is finely milled. Coralista is rather pigmented, and the shimmery bits are not too obvious. Benefit Cosmetics Boxed Powders are their bestsellers.
 
FYI, I tried looking for this set in Sephora Singapore but it was unavailable :(
Benefit Cosmetics, please bring this set to Singapore soon!!

NEW: NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Cassiopeia

~AG~

It has been a while since I have browsed through Sephora.com. In the past, I used to visit the Sephora website every other day or so. While browsing the Editor's Pick section, I saw this new product by Nars. According to Sephora.com, Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow is a creaseless, eight-hour wear eyeshadow with a transformative texture for wet or day application. I was especially attracted to the shade Cassiopeia which they describe as a iridescent electric pink. It looks so beautiful. I SO want to get my hands on it. It retails for USD$29. I really wish that Sephora.com ship worldwide. 
Dear Sephora, please make international shipping available. Your faithful Sephora fan xoxo

REVIEW: Laura Mercier Undercover Pot



~AG~
The shade that I use is UC-3 which is for light to medium skin tone. It retails for USD$34 at Sephora. But I bought it during their Family & Friends sale. So there was a 15% or 20% off the retail price. Previously,  I have used the Laura Mercier Secret Concealer. I somehow missed out on doing a review on that product on this blog. Anyway, I really liked the Secret Concealer. I used it to conceal my dark circles. The salmon shade help neutralise the darkness, and brightens the eye area. Its creamy consistency makes it glides on easily. Even though it is creamy, I find that it does not crease. Overall, it was a good under eye concealer 

I decided to get the Laura Mercier Undercover Pot because I thought it will be a great go-to concealer for travelling. Instead of bringing various concealers and loose powder while travelling, I had hope that this will meet all my concealing needs. The Secret Concealer (on the right side of the pot) to conceal dark circles and the Secret Camouflage (on the left side of the pot) to conceal redness and blemishes. Plus, it comes with the Translucent Loose Setting Powder to set the concealers. 

It turns out that I used the Secret Concealer faster than the Secret Camouflage and Translucent Loose Setting Powder. That bit of Secret Concealer lasted me less than six months. I use it everyday to conceal my dark circles. About the Secret Camouflage, it has a thicker consistency compared to Secret Concealer. It is also more yellow-based, and I find it more powdery. It does work to conceal redness, but it has a more light to medium coverage compared to my Cle de Peau concealer. So I have to apply more to cover up the redness around my nose. Sometimes, this tends to make my makeup looks cakey. It does not work well on huge blemishes because of the inadequate coverage. The Translucent Loose Setting Powder is pretty good. It does not make my makeup looks too powdery. It is rather finely milled. It does not have any color as it is a setting powder. I use a small powder brush to apply it. 

Overall, I do recommend it for those who want an all-in-one product for all their concealing needs. It is a convenient product to have in your makeup bag. However, if you are those that mostly need to conceal dark circles, I will recommend the Secret Concealer instead. Because the amount of Secret Concealer in Undercover Pot is too minimal, and Secret Camouflage does not work well on dark circles. But for those that need to conceal redness and minor blemishes, the Secret Camouflage is adequate. 


Above Left: The right side of the pot is the Secret Camouflage. On the left side of the pot, I have replaced it with my Bourjois 
foundation.  
Above Right: The Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

Ole Henriksen Truth is in the Eyes Vitamin C Peel Concentrate

~AG~

A peel concentrate for the under eye area that offers a natural, gentle antidote to dark circles and fine lines.

Created by Ole Henriksen (skin guru to the stars) to address the specific needs of the eye region—specifically signs of fatigue and age—this exfoliating formula will revolutionize skincare for the under eye region. Because the tissue around the eye is so fragile, it is often recommended NOT to exfoliate that area. This groundbreaking blend represents a new realm of possibility for more youthful skin around the eyes.


-Pepha Tight (Algae Extract): Helps firm skin and boost collagen production.
-Regu-Age (Rice Bran & Soybean Protein): Strengthens under-eye tissue and improves circulation to reduce dark circles and puffiness.
-Lactic & Glycolic Acid (AHA's): Gently exfoliate skin to reduce and prevent wrinkles.
-Vitamin C: Naturally lightens, brightens and tightens skin.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua/ Eau), Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium, Hydroxide, Lactic Acid, Saccharide Isomerate , Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Oxido Reductases, Algae Extract, Pullulan, Allantoin, Calcium Ascorbate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sorbitol, Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 20, Oleth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Citric Acid.


The sales lady at Sephora recommended me this product that she claims can get rid of milia. I have been having persistent milia under my eyelids. She said it is due to the clogged pores & oil gland that is congested. She said this product works for her because it somehow "exfoliate" the area. This product is designed specifically for the under eye area.  It retails for US$42. The Ole Henriksen Vitamin C Line is rather well-known in the beauty market. So I was excited to try this product. She said it takes about a month to see the result. I am been using it nightly for two days now. I don't use it in the day time because I heard Vitamin C makes your skin more susceptible to the sun rays. The direction also mentions to use an SPF for the eye area on top of the peel concentrate for daytime use. Since I don't have a SPF eye cream, I decided to dedicate it solely for nighttime use. 

I will come back in a month to report on the results, and of any adverse reactions. Wish me luck!

Please stay tuned :)
