[Collection] Part 7: Line 'em Lips 2016

Hello,

We are almost at the end of my entire makeup collection. Phew...Okay for Part 7, I am sharing my lip liners collection. This post will be a short one but spoiler alert, next part will be the lipsticks. (it's going to be crazy!)

Marc Jacobs-Poutliner Longwear Lip Liner Pencil ( Primrose 304  )

• This is such a pretty nude/ pink color! The color is long lasting, it doesn't slide around on the lips. I find it a little dry when I apply it all over the lips, so I don't recommend wearing this on its own.

[Collection] Part 6: Eyeliners, Brows, Single Shadow Collection 2016

Hello,

I hope you are enjoying my collection so far. This time I don't really have a clever name for this category, basically everything to do with the eye makeup except the eyeshadow palettes. There are quite a lot of products in this categories, lets get started!

Eyeliners

[Review] Sephora 2016 Beauty Insider Birthday Gift

Hello,

*Spoiler Alert* If you don't want to know what Sephora's VIB birthday gift is, don't read this!

Like always Sephora is providing a free birthday gift for their members! This year Beauty Insider gets to choose from either a skin care set from Fresh or a makeup set from Marc Jacobs. As some of you might know, January was my birthday month, so I picked up my gift already. I chose the makeup set (Obviously!!) I was really excited, yet a little disappointed because last year VIB Rouge member got something extra. Now that I am a Rouge member, they are not giving out extra gift for Rouge Member this year. Anyways, I really like the Marc Jacobs set! It includes a Marc Jacobs lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Highliner in 42 Blacquer. (both mini size) Here's what I think about them...

Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in #42 Blacquer

WOW, I have never tried any eyeliner from Marc Jacobs Beaut. This one is ridiculously awesome! First, I love how luxurious looking the packaging is and that it is a twist up, so I don't need to sharpen it! It's a gel eyeliner that glides on the lid smoothly, the color is intense and opaque. It does not tug the lashes at all. You are able to smudge it out a little before it sets, but once it's set, it's not going anywhere! It's always a dilemma, I want my eyeliner to stay in place and not run around during the day, but this also means that it will be hard to take it off at the end of the day. To my surprise though, I am actually able to remove the liner with my BioDerma (the regular formula). Bioderma is a miceller water that cleanses the face and removes makeup.

Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

I always thought their lipstick was drying hence I never really wanted to try it. But when I received the VIB Rouge entrance gift last year, a mini Marc Jacobs Lipstick in So Rouge, I changed my mind. The le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick is hydrating, creamy and with gorgeous color! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is described as a baked rose color, like a dark rosey pink color. I would say this is a neutral everyday bold lip color. For my lips, it compliments my natural lip color so this can be a everyday lip color for me. One thing I don't really like is the scent of the lipstick when I first put it on, they remind me of the Color Pop or Mac lipsticks. However, the scent goes away after a little while. Another great thing about this lipstick is that even though it is hydrating, it is also super long lasting. I had this lipstick on yesterday, it first lasted 4 hours of constant talking. After I had Nando's for dinner, I went to check on my lipstick, thinking I need to reapply. But NO! It's still there! Now, the glossy top layer is gone because I wiped it off, but the color is still there, and not patchy at all!!!! It also didn't dry out my lips at all, I was so amazed. After an additional 3 hours, when I am removing my makeup, my lip color was still there. I really recommend this lipstick! I want more of it now!

Okay, I know I got a little to carried away because both products are awesome!!!!! I want another set! I really recommend everyone to pick it up on your birthday, sign up for the Sephora Beauty Insider program to receive this! The lipstick especially, I will definitely repurchase after it runs out!


Yours Truly,

Ting

November 2015 Favorites

Hello!

I hope you all had a great month. I was buried under exams and assignment.  I did not get a chance to try a lot of new products this month. instead I found myself using pretty much the same products from previous months. However I did do some shopping during October, I just did not have time to test and play around with them. If you want to see a shopping haul, first impressions or reviews, let me know! Also follow me on Instagram @judyy116 since I usually post Insta Hauls, food etc. more often. You can also get a sneak peak of some upcoming posts there!

1. Nivea Nourishing In-Shower Body Milk

I am the type of person that does not have the patient to put on lotion, wait for it to sink in, then put on clothes. I  also do not like the sticky, greasy feeling from applying thick creams even though I feel like the thin, almost liquid type of lotion does not do anything for my skin. So instead, I usually opt out for body lotion. When I saw this product on the commercial, I really want to give it a try. I have been using this everyday since I got it and I have to share it with you!

Here is how I use it. I would shower as usual, then apply this all over just like a normal body wash. After that just rinse it and dry myself with my towel. It is that easy! It leaves my skin super soft, smooth, moisturized and smelling awesome! The first time I used it, I thought the product was difficult to rinse off, because my skin was feeling really silky ( it reminds me of hair conditioner residue). Then I realized that there will be a layer of lotion on the skin (Duh!), the "residue" feeling goes away after I dry myself. My skin feels as soft the second day and I can still smell the product. It is not a perfume scent, it smells like the normal Nivea face cream!  I encourage anyone who hates body lotion but needs moisturization to try.

2. Laneige Skincare + makeup

At the end of October, I finished all my previous skin care products. I decided to switch over my skincare products to Laneige skincare line. I bought the Laneige Hydration Trial Kit for $38 CAD that includes a multi cleanser, power essential toner, balancing emulsion, water bank serum, water bank moisture cream, and water sleeping mask. I also got a full size brightening sparkling water foam cleanser. So far I have been loving all the products, my skin feels hydrated and has no allergic reaction! I already bought the full size of the face cream and serum during vib sale! I think I'm ready to do an updated skincare routine post. There are no alcohol contained in any of these products!

I also finished my favorite foundation, the covergirl outlast fabulous foundation ( review here). I bought the Laneige bb cushion during the vib sale too. I'm in the shade light. This is so convenient to use, it looks natural on the skin too. I love that you get to control how much product you put on the skin without wasting a lot of product on your hands. This is about $44 CAD but it comes with a refill, so technically it's $22 per cushion.

3. Chanel Perfume

I have been obsessed with Chanel fragrance lately. I am especially in love with Chance-eau vive and Chanel no.5-premiere. Chance-eau vive is fresh and gives me feel energy, whereas the no. 5 makes me feel warm, sophisticated. I really like to use no.5 during colder days. The Chanel no. 5 premiere is a lighter, less concentrated version of the original no. 5 and it smells really nice. I never really enjoyed the smell of the original no. 5, it's way too strong and does not suit me at all.

4. YSL Rouge Pur Couture lipstick in No.70 Le Nu

I found this mini YSL Trio during the VIB sale, I never knew they came out with this set because it wasn't on the website. I'm so glad I found this because this nude shade is perfect for me. It is really hard for me to find a nude shade that looks natural and doesn't make me look sick. The other nude lipstick that suits me is Naked from Urban Decay.

Swatches on top is Marc Jacobs. Bottom is YSL

5. Sephora VIB Rouge Marc Jacobs Lipstick

One last thing... I qualified for VIB Rouge during the vib sale and I received a mini Marc Jacobs lipstick in the shade So Rouge as a welcoming gift. This is my first time trying a Marc Jacobs lipstick and I think I'm loving it. It is a beautiful true red! I believe this is a VIB Rouge exclusive shade, I'm so happy to receive this.

I think this is everything new from this month, I still love everything from previous months. I am currently trying out a retractable kabuki brush and a eye shadow quad from Chanel,  so far so good, maybe it will be in my favorites next month! December is going to be crazy, good luck everyone!

Yours truly,

Ting
