Review: The Saem Saemmul Single Blusher

mandarin kiss, naked peach, orchid rumor


Here is another Korean cosmetic brand which I really like - The Saem. It is a pretty popular high street brand in Korea, similar to Innisfree, Etude House, Nature Republic, Holika Holika, and the likes.

I love korean cosmetics. Most of them have good quality, affordable pricing and adorable packaging. It's too bad The Saem isn't available here in Malaysia.

Today's review is on The Saem Saemmul Single Blusher. I bought these online in 3 shades: Mandarin Kiss, Naked Peach and Orchid Rumor.

Review: Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 1 Sec. Finish Browcara (Natural Brown & Dark Brown)

Swatch Swatches How to apply browcara

Browcara. As you can probably tell from the word, it is a mascara for your eyebrows. Browcaras aren't new in the market. The first time I came across a browcara was in 2012, but I didn't think of giving it a try as I was perfectly comfortable with using a pencil to fill in my eyebrows.

Occasionally, I would come across reviews on how a browcara is a must-have item in a girl's makeup bag. I decided to give it a try.

This review is on Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 1 Sec. Finish Browcara. I will be reviewing two shades: Natural Brown and Dark Brown.

Review: Aritaum Water Sliding Tint

Pink Prism, Pinky Fruity, Fruit Punch, Sparkling Coral, Crazy Ruby, Cosmopolitan, Review


Hey girls! Now if you have dry, chapped lips, you can totally understand how difficult and frustrating it is when choosing lipsticks. I have found quite a lot of amazing lipsticks suited for dry lips. I keep these. As for lipsticks which accentuate my chapped lips? I convert them into cream blushes.

Today's review is on Aritaum Water Sliding Tint. I have these in 6 gorgeous shades, and trust me, these lipsticks are definitely keepers!

Review: Yadah Auto Lip Crayon


Hello Ladies! I have this insane obsession over lip products. I'm constantly on a buying rampage for lipsticks, lip glosses, lip tints, balms... you name it.

I have dry lips, which is why I am always on the search for good, moisturizing lipsticks which will give my lips a smoother appearance.

Today's review is on Yadah Auto Lip Crayon. I got these in two shades: Tangerine Orange and Cotton Candy.

Review: Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil



crystalxoxo.blogspot.com

Okay, so here is another review on cleansing oils. Double cleansing has been a part of my skincare routine for years now. I have always been using DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. It's gentle, removes my makeup completely, I love it.


But since I was in Japan last month for vacation, I decided to get a bottle of Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil. I will also be doing a comparison between Fancl and DHC cleansing oils.

Review: Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Soft Peeling Gel

Exfoliation has many benefits to your skin. It rejuvenates your skin and completely improves your complexion.

There are two types of exfoliants: physical and chemical. The difference between physical and chemical exfoliant is - physical exfoliant uses micro beads as a scrub, while chemical exfoliant does not contain micro beads. Instead, chemical exfoliant contains active ingredients such as BHA, AHA, etc.

Peeling gels are a gentler alternative to slough off all those dead skin cells. Today's review is on Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Soft Peeling Gel.
