The Top 5 Foundations you need to check out (Luxury & Drugstore): Review

Top 5 Foundations you need to check out

A beauty junkie can never leave out base makeup especially when he/she is heading out of the house, even to run errands. For me, I have oily combination skin, very acne-prone as well, which makes it hard for me to find a foundation that suits me. Most of the foundations I tried in the market do not last on my skin but thankfully after years of experimenting, testing and trying, I managed to shortlist my top 5 favourites!

Price is never an issue for me because it’s all about finding the best foundation for my skin type. Interestingly, my five choices here range from the luxurious to the pocket-friendly ones.

August 2015 Beauty Favourites

Effortless elegance with M∙A∙C x GiAMBATTiSTA VALLI Lipsticks: Review & Swatches

M∙A∙C x GiAMBATTiSTA VALLI
My love for M∙A∙C comes in the form of lipsticks. I am a huge lover for M∙A∙C’s limited edition collections, those with unique packaging. With my undying love for makeup, I told myself to pick up only one lipstick (and a blush or an eyeshadow palette) per limited edition launch so that I could keep  them but couture fashion designer, Giambattista Valli, collaborated with M∙A∙C and came up with a brilliant collection of timeless lipsticks.
Lo and behold. The M∙A∙C x GiAMBATTiSTA VALLI lipsticks.
Giambattista Valli (read his short interview here) brings forth his effortless elegance and celebration of the female form in this exquisite collection. There are five lipsticks in this collection and they are all matte. In the coral of Tats, pale pink of Bianca B, pure peach of Margherita, regal red of Charlotte and dark cherry of Eugenie, lips take on an air of sophistication.
(Bianca B is sooo pretty on the model!)

April 2015 Beauty Favourites: Review

April 2015 Beauty Favourite
April to me has a rather significant meaning. It was the month of transition for me, from a graduate to a full-time working adult. It feels surreal that I have now entered the workforce, joining every adult in their morning rush and their 9-5 (technically 9-6) schedule. As such, I haven’t had much time to play with all my new toys (makeup) sitting on the vanity shelf. It has just been grabbing a few new products and sticking to them for a good week or two.
Thus, April’s Beauty Favourites is all about convenient and basic needs, comprising of a few makeup and skincare essentials.
