July Beauty Favourites 2015

Can't believe its August already and we (I mean, my boyfriend and I) are definitely entering a panic mode as our wedding ceremony is getting really close. OMG!!! Its next month and we haven't even start sending out invitation cards!!!

Speaking about last minute preparations, here is my July favourites that I'm obsessing like no other...

1. Tanya Burr Everyday Flutter False Lashes

I just can't get over how natural they look on my eyes. As a hooded lid owner, I can't wear full frontal lashes and can only befriend those with half strips. Her false lashes are just so easy to put on (with no quirky unbendable bits) and the strips are so thin that it's almost undetectable. 

2. Shiseido Eyelash Curler

Moving on with the lashes mode, I am in love with this curler. And I can vouch hands down that this curler is much better than the Shu Uemura ones. It suits the shape of my eyeball (or rather the outer skin layer that covers the eyeball but you get what I mean) and I do not have to worry about skin clamping with this (as I always do with the SU). Huge thumbs up.

3. MAC Cinderella Beauty Powder in Mystery Princess

I'm going to skip my gushing over the cute pretty packaging and go in straight to the product itself. It acts like a highlighter on my skin with tiny sparkly bits and a nice sheen. I just love this over my cheekbone and on the bridge of my nose. Perks up my non-existence high point on my face :)

4. Dior Eye Reviver Illuminating Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette 001

Sorry guys as this is a LE product. But if you hit the Dior counter now, I bet they still have some stock left. First of all, I still can't over how beautiful the embossment is. Secondly, the colours included in this palette (white, beige, taupe brown, metallic brown with a hint of purple undertone, dark brown and a black eyeliner) compliments each other well or just on its own makes this the perfect everyday palette. And last but not least is how pigmented and buttery soft the texture is. Its just a high quality palette that I think neutral lovers should have. 

5. Clinique Lip Pop in Plum Pop 14
This one is definitely a new found love as its so creamy and sits comfortably on the lips. Although semi-opaque in pigmentation but its definitely buildable to your preferred opacity. Plum Pop is more of a cool berry with pink undertone, great for normal day wear to  Lovez...

6. MAC Toledo Lipstick in Oxblood
Another LE item from MAC, I love how natural looking my lips look after a coat of this lippie. I guess its that kind of your-lip-but-better lipstick and even application is super duper easy as its creamy. The colour leans toward coral but not starking-ly so as the beige tones the bright colour down. Even though it does not last long on me (3 hours max), I didn't mind a bit to re-apply this baby throughout the day.

7. Burberry Sheer Concealer in No.2 Soft Beige
I don't usually rotate my concealer and the concealer that comes to its turn is this Burberry number. Even though its name is Sheer but it seriously ain't the case. It manages to cover my undereyes dark rings nicely without caking or settle into my fine lines. Although the longevity isn't great (starts oxidising in the middle of the day), but the fact that it gives a subtle radiant finish and makes my skin oh-so-natural deserves loads of love from me.


So there you have it, my favourite items that I'm currently digging hard last month. What have you been liking lately?

Little Black Beauty Box December Edition | StylexStyle

I just want to tell you how excited I was when I received the box. I know it's gonna be good because its nearing Christmas right? And Christmas means presents, those huge big ones.... 

And guess what? I wasn't disappointed at all. Take a look below and the huge, and I do mean HUGE amount of products inside this edition.

Holy Guacamole!!! **Breathe Cindy Breathe!!**

I mean, seriously... Cle de Peau (although I do know this brand is gonna be in this box but I wasn't expecting its gonna occupy half of the box O_O).

Just look at the loot!!! O.M.G!!! This is really Christmas coming.... How did a full size NARS nail polish get into here? Are you kidding me? Hallelujah, I guess somehow God heard my prayers (alright, I'm getting way overexcited and exaggerating just a little but you get the drift of how happy I was)

So we'll got the Cle de Peau skincare lined up. From the right,

1) Gentle Cleansing Foam, 

2) Gentle Balancing Lotion, 

3) Gentle Protective Emulsion, 

4) Gently Nourishing Emulsion and 

5) Wrinkle Correcting Concentrate 

Next up is Shiseido skincare. From the top left, we have:

1) White Lucent Brightening Spot Control Base UV

2) White Lucent Total Brightening Serum

3) Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Last but not least are the variety of colours and makeups. From the left:

1) Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation and Sheer Fluid Veil

2) Shiseido Perfect Rouge RD750

3) NARS Nail Polish Schiap (Full size O_O can StylexStyle be anymore generous?)

4) Shiseido Eyeshadow Trio Palette

So, did I manage to entice you to buy? I mean, cummon, its so worth the SGD$22.90 that I paid for all of these babies... If you are interested, then head over to their website and get yourself a Christmas gift now. You won't regret it I promise. 

P/s: I'll be away for the whole week (work wise if you are wondering) thus there won't be any post on Thursday. Stay tune till next week lovelies ^_^

Little Black Beauty Box by StylexStyle | November 2 Years Anniversary Edition

Sorry for the delay but here is the latest November edition Little Black Beauty Box from StylexStyle which I love. 

Quite a number of stuff that you can see here... The range of items is good too.

Bountiful sample sized high-end skincare and makeup products can be expected in one's beauty box. I don't really mind the lacking of full size products though as the quantity of products makes up for it. 

Aveda Stress Fix Body Lotion

Shiseido Perfect Mascara Defining Volume

Shiseido Lacquer Rouge

Shiseido Sheer & Perfect Foundation

Belif In The Rose Garden Hand Cream

Belif Hungarian Water Essence

Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum

Origins Plantscription Anti Aging Power Serum

SKII Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil

SKII Facial Treatment Essence

Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb

SKII Stempower

Radical Skin Perfecting Screen SPF30

Radical Advanced Peptide Serum

I am quite happy with this month's product as usual and looking forward to the next December Shine Bright box. Wonder what sort of makeup would be installed for us!?

Beauty: Little Black Beauty Box Sept Edition StylexStyle

After a disappointing episode with the Aug Edition, September's Little Black Beauty Box is back on track again with tons of goodies. The box was literally filled to the brim...

Ooppss, excuse the blurry picture...

Yeah, literally filled. And the most exciting item that meets my eyes is the one on the right side facing upwards, Glam Glow. I mean, I literally squeal when I saw it as this product is f**king expensive, like S$90 for a tub o_O. I was shaking with excitement by then, slowly taking out the products and inspecting them one by one. 

So, this month's product was phenomenal. Benefit's latest Gel Liner was also included in a sample size form and boy must I mention how cute the packaging was (imagine a miniature gel liner pen, awesome). OK, I have to admit that its the Glam Glow that got to me thus the declaration of this box's a winner. 

A closer look, we have the Philosophy Miracle Worker Anti-Aging Lactic Acid Cleanser & Mask (I love sample size cleanser as we seldom get them often these days), Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution (which I highly doubt that its gonna give results with such a small sample size) and Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Mask. 

Next up is Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturiser SPF20 UVB/UVA (I already have this in my stash but am excited that I get to bring this sample size instead of lugging around the 50ml tube), Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate (I guess this suppose to act as a serum?), Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment (Woohoo!!) and Benefit They're Real Push-up Liner (mmm... I wonder why no capital letters?).

Now on to package samples (dislike these kinda samples, I mean I can't use all the products in one go and ending up finding an empty container to keep the rest), Belif Peat Miracle Revital Eye Cream, Ioma Gentle Exfoliating Emulsions, SKII Cellumination Aura Essence (why only 1 :'( should have included 2 for better results) and Lancome Ultimate XL UV Protection Shield-Correct-Unify BB Complete SPF 50 PA++++ (phew, that's a mouthful and why are there 4 plus signs instead of 3?).

And last but not least, Belif Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate. Looks kinda weird in its greenish packaging. 

Well, I am extremely satisfied with this month's (I did not subscribe to next month's as it is a Clarins theme and I'm not really a huge fan of the brand). Click here to buy if you are interested ^_^

Beauty: Little Black Beauty Box August Edition

Wow, time has been passing by so quickly and we are already in August and with the August edition Beauty Box. 

Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with this month's beauty box as it seems to scale down on the product quantities and its actually pretty sad looking with the box only 1/5 filled. Although there are a few premium brands included, it is still quite disappointing really...

Ioma Cell Protector Sun Screen SPF 50 PA+++, Benefit Dream Screen  SPF45 PA+++, SKII Cellumination Lotion, SKII Cellumination Deep Surge, Shiseido White Lucent Eye Cream, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream

Radical Anti-aging Restorative Moisture Cream, Ralph Lauren Sample Perfume and Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion (seriously, I've been getting this sample all the time). 

I sure hope that next month's wouldn't be as boring as at least be like 3/4 filled and not a measly 1/5 else I would have to reconsider my subscription which I definitely don't want it to end.

Beauty: Little Black Beauty Box July 2014

If you have followed this blog closely enough, you'll know my obsession with this little black box which ain't little at all. Packed full of goodies, I always waited impatiently for the box to arrive to surprise me. 

Engined by MediaCorp Singapore's Stylish website Stylexstyle (and founded by Artist Sharon Au), this month's did not disappoint either as it was filled with Skincare and Makeup items that have substantial stand in the beauty-sphere. What's more, it only costs S$22.90.

Very nice packaging as usual...

Philosophy Miracle Worker Anti-aging Moisturiser, Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturising Oil, Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara, SKII Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, SKII Facial Treatment Essence (I remembered that I love this product so much when I was in Japan), Shiseido Revitalizing Essence, Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturising Conditioner and Shampoo, Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream, Laneige Water Bank Essence, Guerlain Super Aqua Serum Light (this is good stuff, light weight and floral scented) and MAC Foundation.

What I love about this month's box is that the theme focuses on rejuvenating your soul and body as well as loving yourself more, thus the extravagant amount of serum and moisturisers included (ok, maybe I exaggerated a little). But I just love the products that they included inside and they are so kind enough to include complimentary vouchers for us subscribers to pamper ourselves with massages and makeovers. 

The only downside of these boxes are that you can't subscribe to them for a few months in one go (as most beauty boxes does) hence the constant need to remind oneself to visit their website at least a few times a month (to check whether they have anything new in store and they sold-out pretty quickly) to subscribe for the following month's box. I think its a marketing strategy to encourage people to visit their website -__-'''

Anyhoe.... Go check it out if you are in the Singapore region and are interested in sampling different high end beauty products whilst not splurging too much money. Free shipping for all orders. Click here...
