October 2014 Empties: Review

November 9, 2014 No Comments

Somehow, I have been using up products recently! It never occurred to me that I will be using up my makeup products months ago and now, I am writing my second review on my empties (products I have used up)! *Pats myself* for the achievement! Yes, it feels like an achievement to me to be able to religiously use something till it hits the last drop/bit.

October 2014 Empties consists of a range of products from makeup, skincare, haircare to home fragrance. “Wow, that’s impressive” was what I’m thinking as I type the previous sentence. I’m still in disbelief that I could use up a candle. One whole chunk of candle in less than 2 months :O Haha, anyway, here we go! I have a shampoo, a gel moisturiser, tea tree facial oil, a lipbalm, a brow gel and a home candle!

September 2014 Beauty Empties: Review

October 8, 2014 No Comments

Well, today I am proud to show you some empties from my beauty stash! It has been sooooo long since I finished using any products, especially skincare products! Here I have 5 products that I finished using in the month of September.

As my skin has been rather dry underneath, I have been using lots of hydrating products and of course, some topical acne product to cure my breakouts and my all-time favourite makeup primer/base to isolate my skincare and makeup in my everyday routine.

If You Could Live With Only 5 Makeup Items, What Would Your Choices Be?

September 7, 2014 No Comments

We all have a boxful or rather, a room-ful of makeup items, don’t we? All the new purchases from the Summer, Fall and the upcoming Christmas/Winter collections are making us spoilt for choices! With so many choices, what if, you could only pick 5 to live for the rest of your life from your makeup collection, what would you pick?

For me, I’m a sucker for eyeshadow palettes, especially from Urban Decay, so I cannot live without my eyeshadows! Hehe, so let’s dig into my 5 choices that I narrowed down! I honestly stared at my stuff, flipped open the drawers and all for so long before I decided on these.

Yes you have it, my holy grail foundation with defined brows, lots of colours to play with, naturally-flushed cheeks and moisturised lips with a healthy pink tint! These are my picks for a perfect face of makeup – no matter whether I’m stranded on the island with nothing else but these 5 items or not! 😀 Vain Roanna is vain!

August 2014 Beauty Favourites: Review

August 28, 2014 1 Comment

It’s the end of the month of August now and it’s time for August 2014 beauty favourites!

August has been packed with lots and lots of purchases from everywhere (Sephora, the recent Net-A-Porter free shipping etc..). Surprisingly, my favourites this month doesn’t include any of the new purchases because I really wanted to use the things I bought actively for exactly or more than a month to really test the efficacy of the products. Many a times we keep getting new things to play with that we don’t really reach out for a product more than 2-3 times, let alone give a full in-depth review. Thus, I am proud to say that I have been using my favourites so diligently this month that I don’t even realise I’m using them every day! 😀

Without further ado, let’s jump right into my skincare favourites followed by the makeup ones!

For skincare this month (or rather these 2 months), I have been loving my entire skincare range from Kiehl’s! Having acne-prone skin can be quite a headache as it is really not easy to tame the inflamed skin while trying to control acne formation. 3 products that have particularly improved my skin condition drastically are the Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser, Dermatologist Solutions Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution and Dermatologist Solutions Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment. Oh my what a mouthful. The names are way too long.
