Review & Swatches: Urban Decay Naked 2 palette!!

FINALLY!! The Urban Decay Naked 2 palette is on my hands!! I knew there's too many reviews and swatches around, but I will still do it to share with you girls =P (You can feel how excited I am?) The hype of the first Naked Palette from Urban Decay was a successful one. So when Urban Decay introduced Naked 2 (USD50), I wasn't too surprised. But what surprise me was the name. Naked 2?? You bet!

The new Naked 2 palette comes in a sturdy metal packaging which includes 12 gorgeous neutral eyeshadows with a double-ended brush and a mini lip gloss. 

This palette were sold at US$50. Do you think it's worth for the price tag? Let's see with 12 full size eyeshadow worth $204, $24 worth of brush, $6 worth of lip gloss, it come up with a total $234. Definitely yes just like the previous palette.

When I first got this, I am in love with the sturdy metal packaging. The wording Naked 2 is so much better than my original Naked palette. That's because my original Naked palette wording started to fade off after it aggressively travel along with me. Other than that, I do not have any issues with Naked 1 palette.

Sneakpeek: Revlon Lip Butters hit the town!!

The title show it out. We've been reading lots of raves about these tinted lip balms on the blogging world. And finally, we're getting it here either it is in Malaysia or Singapore (yes! Both countries have them now!) Excited ain't cha? I've even showcase it on my Facebook Page. (Do check it out for more updates)

Originally in US there were 24 different colors from this range but here, we're only getting 8 colors. Not too bad I shall say, and I got myself two colors as well. =) Revlon Lip Butters are now in Watsons, Guardian and even Sasa.

This is the Revlon Lip Butter stand I saw in Watsons at my place. =)) I was soooo excited and did swatches of all the color to determine which is the best I should get.

So here's the swatches for you:
(Please excuse me for the pic quality as I took this with my phone)

Based on the swatches, have you decided which color to pick up?? I bought Peach Parfait and Strawberry Shortcake.

Eventually, I went back to Watsons today and buy something and was told my the Revlon SA that Peach Parfait is almost OOS!! (But...It was out less than a week??) It was the best selling color there. o_O

Amazing isn't it? Creamy, smooth, pigmented and best affordable. What can you expect? It's priced at S$15.90 and RM24.90 each. Honestly, Malaysia price is even lower than US Dollar after convertion of exchange rates. That's incredible good price. So, hunt them down at your nearest stores now and let me know what you get. I'll do a full review later on.

Have a great weekend!!

Review: ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

This is one of my very first bronzer palette I purchased years ago and I couldn't believe it still nicely placed in my wardrobe till now. My bestie love this so much and I eventually gave it to her ever since my makeup table expanded. So far my purchases on ELF Studio line has been fairly good for me. Out of 10 products I have only one of them which I am not favorable with. 

When this palette released years ago, it got into hyped and raves online for a dupe of NARS but much more cheaper!! Without much consideration and I need my first bronzer and yes this is MINE!! Initially, during then there wasn't much bronzers for ELF Studio line. 

They say:

"Create a healthy and natural glow all year long. The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color, while the Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition."

Glamabox - Glam Your Life!

The beauty box subscriptions are trending now in our blogsphere. I've been getting into this box as well for one of the brand here and now my first ever box all the way from HK - Glamabox. Glamabox started by Lisa S (our handsome actor Daniel Wu's wife *coughs), it is based in HK and had been very popular there. (Many bloggers even reviewed about it).

How this beauty box subscription works? Every month, you only need to pay S$18 for this box which has about 4-5 beauty products hand-picked by Lisa S and delivered to your doorsteps.Sounds good and easy? Ladies who love surprises and love to try on new products sample would love this box!

Another pink color box?? I like the box design but it kinda ruined during the transit from HK. Unlike Bellabox, it doesn't come with additional box inside - which is more environmental friendly i guess?? My first impression when I got this was: "why is this so light?" *disappointed* Eventually, the box I have is for Christmas/December box. (Not sure why the delivery kinda slow - I received it on Jan 2012)

Then I proceed on opening the box like pizza. *heart pumping fast*

My Addiction

Before I started my beauty blog, I am a skincare freak. Which mean buying skincare and testing them out was my addiction. After several years, I am still a skincare freak but the frequency of me testing out new skincare items has been decreased. My addiction has gone further miles to makeup now.

I believe you girls who love makeup has something that you favorable most such as blusher, eyeliner or etc. So today I gonna show you my addiction or shall I say my beauty craze stash? =P

PENCIL EYELINERS 

Pencil eyeliner is the first eyeliner I own just because it is easier to use. Back to basic, among all kind of liners, I still love pencil eyeliners the most. Why? Because it's travel friendly (as I just place it inside my handbag wherever I go), easier to work with - to draw my waterline. . So I just couldn't stop buying them!

I can ensure that I have more pencil eyeliners but I am not sure where did I placed them when I took this pic. =p

NEUTRAL/ BROWN EYESHADOW PALETTES

If you've been reading my blog, you must have knew that I LOVE neutral/brown eyeshadow very much. I do find that this warm color flatters me much than others. Thus, nothing could goes wrong with neutral color. Any occasion from job interview, meeting clients, dinner date, party at club it works well. :D You don't have to doubt that if I've seen a pretty nice brown color palette, I'll buy. Oh! I do have some brown singles as well.
