[Review] Holika Holika Heartful Glossy lipstick in Pink Bonbon

(Wearing this lipstick in these pictures)

Hiya! I figured since it's semester break i should be more active in my inactive blog... (=_=")

I am not a huge fan of Korea products but this lipstick caught my eye when i browse through a magazine... and it has been on my wishlist since that day ! I feel like collecting them all !

 ♪＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／

Brand: Holika Holika

Series: Heartful glossy lipstick

Origin: Made in Korea

Code: PK123 (Pink Bonbon)

Weight: 18g

Packaging: Adorable! the box have a combination of pink and blue strips reminds me of lolipop! (｡◕‿◕｡)

While the packaging of the lipstick itself looks quite simple. There's still strips~ And the material makes it light weight plus it's small in size so it's pretty travel friendly. 

Design: The design of the lipstick itself attracted a lot of people to buy it ! it's in heart shape ! So CUTE !!! (*^ -^*) Trust me, the heart shaped lipstick would not make it hard for you to apply this lipstick. 

The color looks scary at first #laughs. But this series is not as pigmented as Heartful Moisture lipstick series, so the color looks natural and not very pigmented. 

(right: sunlight ; left: indoor light)

Here's the prove ! it's not pigmented and looks very light. Recommended for beginners and people who love natural make up. If you want the colour to more visible, simply apply more than one time! (◡‿◡✿)

I wanted the orange one at first, but this one makes me look healthier, cause i look quite pale and white sometimes~ 

 

 Quality: The quality of the packaging is quite fragile. It's made out of tin-like material so it feels like it's going to break whenever you drop it on the floor. @_@

(Above: sunlight ; below: indoor light)

I seriously have no complaint for the quality of this product -besides the packaging that is....

It's not dehydrating, and it's the only lipstick i dared to apply without any lipcare products. #truestory

It lasts on my lips for quite a long time ! I wore this during my photoshoot for Yuuki Asuna. There was a whole lot of rain, sun, drinking and eating but it's still there ! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ It lasts incredibly long ! #loves

Price: Average for me. Usually, i would say this price range is expensive for me. I brought it without any promotion and from a retail store. BUT it is totally worth it ! So i have to say it's okay to use the normal retail price to buy this baby. I love it with all my heart !

So hope my review helps !

[Review] Maybeline Color Sensational Lipcolor in coral crush

ALOHA ! Here comes another review ~ bwahahahha !

Behold !!!

Brand: Maybeline New york

Series: ColorSensational Lipcolor

Origin: Made in U.S.A

Code: 515 (Coral Crush)

Weight: 4.2g (0.15oz)

Packaging: Nice, but not very attractive to me. It's plain ~ But the good thing is you can use stickers to decorate it ! ＼(^ω^＼)

Design: Now this is what attracted me to buy this lipstick. The design of the colour is just irresistible ! ♥‿♥

Ultra pigmented! It's so suitable for people in Malaysia. Because we're living in a country that have summer 24/7. So this colour kinda reminds me a mixture of summer and spring so i have to buy it !

Also, some red colour makes you look old and out of fashion, but this coral-reddish colour makes me look so korean-like and unlike my usual lipstick, this makes me looked so energized ! ヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ﾉ

(above: sunlight ; below: indoor light)

Quality: Sadly, it's quite dehydrating.... (• ε •) So you must put on lipcare before applying this lipstick. As it's more focus on the pigmentation rather than caring your lips. (`･ω･´)

The colour disappears after 2-3 hours. So remember to touch up ! (●´ω｀●)

It have an awkward scent that kinda bothers me ~~ I dont know... i dont like it ~ I am more of a fan of strawberry scented lip products. (ღ˘◡˘ღ) 

Price: Cheap and affordable ! ♪＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／

I got it from my college's flea market, there are a few cosmetics brand invited that day and Maybeline is one of them ! I am so lucky to brought it in half of retail price !

(I'm wearing the lipcolor in this picture)

So i guess that's it ! Hope my review helps !

tata ! ＼（＾○＾）人（＾○＾）／

First photoshoot of 2013

HI ! long time didnt update my blog. i just have my first photoshoot in year 2013.(^_^)

 

Character name: Yuuki Asuna

Series: Sword Art Online (ALO version)

CN: Grace Aiko

Picture credit: Moon Art Studio and Huh? Cosplay photography

 

 This is a solo photoshoot, first time ever that I went to outdoor for a photoshoot. It's quite an experience ~

After the first 15 minutes of the shoot, it started to get cloudy and rain is pouring. That is why there's only a few pictures that can be uploaded after the 3 hours shoot. But it's alright, better than nothing. I have had fun ! ^_^ 

 

Asuna is one of my favorite character, she is strong, adorable, mother-like, warm, lovable, loyal, a chef and beautiful. What can I say ? I felt in love with her after a few episodes of the series. At first i thought of cosplaying her in her armor version but it's like double the price of her ALO version... T^T so ... yeah ....

SO.. I guess that's it ! xD Hope to do more photoshoots !! TwT hehehehehe ~ (for some reason, my folks wont let me cosplay too much... OTL)

25 April 2013

Hi blog, sorry for the lack of updates but i am currently having my finals. So after my finals I can go photoshoots and update this blog more.

My fringe have gotten longer but my peeps hated my old fringe so i decided to leave it like that~ Let it be long.... Plus, i am still not used to front fringe... feels like there something blocking my forehead... @@ 

and Yikes ! I felt down about a week ago.. because i was wearing my new lens and the degree doesn't really suits me so i didnt really see the drain and kinda felt down... Ouchy...

That is how it looks like when i felt down .... Now it's starting to peel itself @@ As in, the skin is regenerating... -prays for faster recovery- I have a photoshoot in May T^T Please recover faster !!!!

I got some scars and wounds on my foot too... that one is the smallest and the most painful... so when i walk, i feel the pain ... #truestory.

So no sneakers and heels for me at the moment... only slippers and ballet shoes... ballet shoes are my lifesavers ! Without them i couldn't get into the exam hall T^T 

oh ~ and i forgot to blog about my trip to Animax carnival 2013

 There was like a million people squeezing in the tiny place.... No KIDDING ! Last year's animax is waaay better than this one. Maybe they don't know they'll have so many visitors.... @@

The crowd is so huge that you sweat where ever you went ! cause there's too much people, and some photogs and cosers try to take pics in the middle of the road and you are forced to stand there wait for them to finish ~ So all i can say i feel like a sardine during this event.... 

Yeah, that's me. I cosplayed as Akiyama Mio during Animax carnival. I am very lazy to upload the pictures in my blog. So please do check out the album i uploaded in Facebook right here.

So i guess that's it. If i have time i will try to update this blog more often ~ haha....

Maybeline BB mousse [review]

Brand: Maybeline New York

Origin: Made in China
Code: Shade 01
Weight: 65g

The packaging is quite average, it seems to have a similar design with their mineral series of products. Thank goodness there's another sticker with a list of their ingredients (in English) behind their packaging. At least we can understand what is inside of this bottle.

The things written on the cap was not understandable though ... All in Japanese ... =_="

I brought this just because it's sounds quite fun to shake it to get the mousse out of the bottle ~ It IS fun ! xD I shake it vigorously and tada !!!

The first squeeze xDD
this is how it looks like after applying it on my bare hand without any primers/make up base.

This is how it looks like without flash ~

This is how it looks like with flash ~ 

It have a light-liquidish texture, after you apply it. It dont covers your flaws much (still need to use a concealer for the job huh ?). It gives you a light coverage.

I have to squeeze it the second time xD IT's FUN DOING THAT ! xD haha!
after i applied it the second time, the foundation seem to be too thick thus making it looks unnatural ~ So I think .. one layer is enough~

Sorry that i did not have a demo picture of the foundation on my face, i forget to take pictures of myself ... =_="

oh yeah, maybe it's because of the micro formula so it's kinda easy for it to get inside your skin ~ It clog my pores ... ._. So i dont recommend you girls to use it daily ~  Yeah, also, i didnt like using my hands to apply foundation, i always loved using applicators ~ (depends on you, maybe you like using your hands to apply make up?)

The price is reasonable cause i got this at a discounted price. =)

Again, sorry about the short and not-so-detailed review, it's because I didnt use it more than 2 times ~ haha ~ (~=3=)~ Hope it helps !

Candy Doll lipstick and lipgloss [review]

Sorry for the late update. I pretty busy with assignments and event at the moment so ~~ yea xDD

Today's review~ Candydoll's lipgloss in cotton candy and lipstick in ramune pink.

(note: most of the pictures is not edited with lighting so that you can have a good look on the colours)

I'll start with the lipstick first.

Brand: Candy Doll

Origin: Made from Japan

Code: Ramune pink

Weight: 3.5g

Produced by: Tsubasa Masuwaka

(large image so that you can read)

It can stand. Sadly the description behind the product is written in Japanese... i have no idea what the ingredients is ...

The strips makes it look kinda ... cheap and fragile (it feels fragile cause it's made of plastic and light metal)... but it's not fragile at all ! I dropped it 3 times and it still looks the same!!! xD #true story

(left: flash ; right: no flash)

This is how the colour looks like, it's looks very nude ~ suitable for gyaru make up.

(left: no flash ; right: with flash)

So this is how it looks like on my lips ~  it feels matte and looks matte ~ Not dehydrating but not moisturising as well ~ 

(not edited with any effects)

so this is how i looks like with the lipstick on. I was standing under the sun light so it looks pale ~ But this colour can drive others attention towards your eyes.

Now time for lipgloss in cotton candy !

Brand: Candy Doll

Origin: Made from Japan

Code: Cotton Candy

Weight: 6.8g

Produced by: Tsubasa Masuwaka

(large image)

(up: flash ; bottom: no flash)

The design of the product is similar with their lipstick, strips ~ feels plastic and average ~ 

Here's the sponge applicator.  Sadly, the stopper that is suppose to stop the lipgloss from sticking onto the applicator is a failure.

(left: Flash ; middle: no flash ; right: sunlight w/o flash)

SWATCHES TIME ! =D

So here's swatches of lipgloss and the lipstick. Their pigmentation is quite good, lipgloss looks juicy ~

So this is how i looks like with the lipgloss on ~ It looks juicy right ? (and feel sticky too).

This lipgloss is superb sticky ... When you first apply it, it looks so dollish ! #loves

I wore it in my Akiyama Mio cosplay during Animax carnival 2013. It disappears after 3 hours i need to reapply it ~

The price was quite reasonable because i got them during Sasa's anniversary sales.

Hope my review helps ! =D

Weekend activities ~

Ho ho ho, konnichiwa !! Weekends passed so quickly ~~ o(╥﹏╥)o Imma will miss it !

hehehe... I did a lot of things during this weekend ~~

I brought this fake Konad in KL and it didnt work at all !! ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ It's a waste of money ! thank goodness it's not that expensive... Later, i threw it away ~

So today i brought a cupboard cause my old one is kinda ... broken ... =_=" the doors almost flatten me !!! T^T

So... i brought a new one ~(=w=~) it's a mix of magenta and white ~ I have to DIY it myself ~~ and it's my first time DIY-ing something ~~ 

This is the box of cupboard i have to DIY, there's the hammer i found in my dad's toolbox. xD

After opening it, i checked all the tools and i started to work !!!! ヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ﾉ

Half progress ~~ I hammered and screwed a lot of stuff and it looks kinda nice ~ 

Now it's 80% completed !!! ლ(｀ー´ლ) muahahahha ~

I seriously dont know what is that thing that i must screw in the back and corner of the cupboard~~ I just screwed it anyway ~~ ≧◡≦

This knob... a very stubborn knob that hates screws ... (ಠ_ರೃ) I have to ask my sister and brother to help me with this one .... and my sister accidentally stab herself with the screwdriver (◕︵◕)

[gomene imouto-chan .....

NOW IT'S COMPLETED !!!! ✌♫♪˙❤‿❤˙♫♪✌ I am sooooo happy ! Tomorrow i have a bigger cupboard coming to my house ~~ hehehehh ~ [happying

I finished building this in an hour i guess xDD Feel so satisfied !
