:: NYX and REVLON mini haul::

NYX have a few new products and new shades in some of their product. I was delighted when i found out there is a new shade for their powder blush which is good for another additional shade to the family and lip pencil.

From left to right:
I've bought 3 lip pencils in 3 new shades which are Peekaboo Neutral, Nude Pink and Pale Pink.

And their new powder blush shade in 'Pinched'. NYX blushes are great deal and offer a very good option of shades and it's worth  to get  if need to compare to high-end brand. and i already own a few blushes from NYX and my faves are Natural (my HG~!!) and Angel;)
  

 

 

::NYX::

:: NYX Powder Blush 'Pinched'::

Honestly, the color is very pretty ..it's almost comparable to Nars Deep Throat or MAC Dainty mineralize blush.

It's corally-pink with a bit of shimmer.

:: NYX Lipliner Pencil::

 There are 7 new shades of lip liner and it's amazing how NYX is aware of the current color trend, most of the shades are in pink, neutral and nude tone. I grabbed this three shades since it would be suitable for neutral and pink l/s.

:: Swatches - Pinched, Peekaboo Neutral, Nude Pink & Pale Pink ::

::REVLON DAYDREAMER COLLECTION:: 

Limited Edition

Look's like Revlon is also starting to release their own brand of collection and and it shows that they are trying to competing with other high-end brands. i must say, their products are getting better and i gradually loving it. So, i was delighted when i saw this collection is available at the local drugstore, Guardian. I knew immediately i must get my hand on this collection;)

Unfortunately, not all the shades of the l/g and nail polish is available so I was kind of disappointed a bit but at least there is a shade that i want which is the l/g in 'Peach Petal' (fyi, only three shades available which are the other two are Firecracker and Coral Reef..i really want Lilac Pastel and Pink Pop). i kind of sad that i could not find 'Lilac Pastelle' and 'Gray Suede' nail polishes .

But fret not,  i found the Revlon Scents of Summer Nail Enamel in Gum Drop instead.Probably it would be the same colour version but the shade is lilac-purplish-with slight blue-gray hue and it's scented - smells like a bubblegum when it is dried and last for few days tho~ seriously. and i like it the fact that it smell different than normal scent of nail polishes. i am HAPPY alas!;) well, at least...

::Revlon Scents of Summer Nail Enamel in Gum Drop::

:: swatches - daylight and w/ flash::

*i paint it kinda ugly..so forgive me, i was too hasty so that's explain it is straying all over to the cuticle;p

The color is beautiful especially if u r lilac-lover but the downside of it is, i have to apply three coats to achieve that shade as seen in swatches. It's streaky and too sheer for the first two application and to get the pastel consistency, i have to apply at least three coats. 

till then,

:: Drugstore Haul ::

Just a mini haul, Revlon New Complexion One Step Compact Makeup, Maybelline Stylish Smokes Quad and Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo.

 :: MAYBELLINE STYLISH SMOKES QUAD::

 :: Amethyst Smokes and Natural Smokes::

  I found out about this special edition quad from here and here. I heard few reviews saying that this quad is amazing and good. I was tempted and immediately try out. FYI, this quad is not available here in Malaysia. I though i want to wait till it releases here but it's been way too long already (mind u, i was agitated)..thus, i decided to get it from drugstore.com. There are four types of quad for this edition which are Natural Smokes, Charcoal Smokes, Amethyst Smokes and Emerald Smokes and the latest, two new quads which are Sapphire Smokes and Plum Smokes ( which still not available at drugstore.com)

I like this quad because it sounds smokey and it's tempting! the colors offered are good and beautiful. however, it is not that pigmented and it fades easily especially if u have an oily eyelid like mine, so good base or primer is a way to enhance the color and make it lasts a bit longer. Also, the textures can be chalky especially the brow bone (the white one) but some of the reviews said that not all quad is chalky, its depending on the quad you are getting. Unfortunately,for both quad the white one is the one that chalky..what a coincidence~ The rest are fine;)
Regarding the price wise, i got both during BOGO and it's quite cheap, 2 for RM46.61 and price for one quad is RM28.74..quite a bargain huh~~?? hehe

::Amethyst Smokey:: 

    ::nice purplish smokey::
 

::Natural Smokey:: 

 i love this shades~ suitable for day look

:: sorry~ the flash light is too bright...still sucks at taking pics;/::

::Amethyst Smokey quad..can u see the difference with and without UDPP??::
 Overall, will i get it again?? Yeessss!!

REVLON NEW COMPLEXION ONE STEP MAKEUP COMPACT

It's a creme to powder formula. I have not try this one yet but i can't wait to. I remember there was one review lemming on this because it acts as a concealer, foundation and powder..it's medium-heavy coverage but yet feel lightweight on face. Emmm..can't say much yet since i have not try this one out. i'll be reviewing about this again soon and see how it is.

:: come together with a sponge under the compact (the flash is too bright, sorry for that again. it's a white sponge::

:: NEUTROGENA ANTI RESIDUE SHAMPOO::

This is once was my HG for deep cleansing shampoo which i used once a week, after swimming at a pool or heavy hairdo. This shampoo never failed me and I always have this product with me. But after it was 'discontinued' (since i cannot found it anymore;( ) here in our local favorite drugstore, Watson and Guardian...i turned to Redken Deep Cleasing shampoo (which is also my HG!). 

Why it is my HG?? After using It, my hair feels light and not greasy, less oily. And it makes my daily shampoo and hair products work better! It smells nice and clean..I still remember my friend complimented my hair,like i say, it makes my daily shampoo and hair products work better. I normally used this once a week and follow by hair mask to allow the hair gets all the nourishment it needed. It just like scrubbing your face to clean the residue and mask to make sure the nutrients are absorbed well. Well, this is my secret!


Since I ran out of  Redken Deep Cleasing shampoo, I've bought a few deep cleansing shampoo but not as good as Neutrogena or Redken. I can only purchase Redken from local online stores or go to KL (mind u, i'm from Borneo..hardly to get Redken products here;/) So, where did i find it? at drugstore.com.i have to purchase it online and i'd glad i manage to found it again and i was surprised that it's bigger than i have bought before..perhaps the volume? but nevermind..I'm happy i found this again;)) it just like a long lost found love~

::Revlon Colorburst Lipstick::

So I get this two lippies yesterday at local drugstore, Watson. I've been eyeing this lippies since last month and my heart is beating harder everytime i read other blogger raves how great these lippies are. So, to fulfill this desire of mine..i grabbed two of the shades which are Soft Nude and Peach.

:: Peach and Soft Nude::

First, I likes the casing,it looks so sophisticated and elegant. And the tube cap has a color shade on top it so it is easier to identify the color if it's in the bunch of lippies.

Then, i likes to word 'Revlon' is engraved on the lippies..i'm not sure why but personally i thinks it cool;)

::swatches:: Soft Nude, Peach ::

Soft nude - mute shade of pink, looks nice on the hand swatch but looks dead on my lip..have to top it with gloss. For me, i think i would use this for smokey look or heavy eye make up but not for everyday looks or on its own..definitely No-No for me!

Peach - looks sheer in the picture but actually, it looks coral on lip.suitable for work;p

::swatches on lip - Peach (top), Soft Nude (bottom)::

What I think of it?? Emm..

shades?well there is a wide selection and i like there are various shade to choose from. 

Pigmentation? it is pigmented...no doubt. 

Texture?  it feels light on the lip,no yucky taste or feel heavy. it glides smoothly upon application

Lasting? not sure yet about the staying power but it's a lipstick..so what do u expect??

i like it?? emmm..ya~ 

getting it again? maybe..i'm thinking of 'Blush'. 

Overall? good for another addition to lippies family;) U never know when u going to grab it..hehe it will be there in one of those days;)

so, before i end it here..gonna leave u with this smacker
