Absolute Total Diamond Skin 79 BBcream Review

So far, Skin79 has been my favourite BBcream brand ever, and recently, I've decided to spend a little more on the Diamond Version of this bbcream. To me, this one feels no different than my already favourite, Super+ bbcream also by Skin79.However, I can feel that it gives a more thicker coverage than the Super+ Bbcream, and it feels like it has the same coverage as the Missha BBcream. Moreover, I feel that this cream gives a better coverage than most foundations. Again, it gives a rather dewy finish and sort of feels oilly, so moisturiser is not needed. The only difference that is labelled is that this one has a better SPF37 PA++ whereas the other one only has a SPF25PA++. 



The shade is slightly lighter than my hand

 And this is how it looks like when used as a foundation: (I only use the bbcream + translucent powder to set, and used NO concealers)

Notice the imperfections on my forehead? It does a good job at covering it




I think this is the bbcream that I would use during my bad skin days. It is quite expensive when it is bought at pmall (around $30-$40). Fortunately, I got this from ebay which was only around $15. I think I have just found my second favourite bbcream =)

My Beauty Diary Eye Mask Review

Recently, I've visited T&T to buy some My Beauty Diary masks, and came across My beauty Diary Eye Masks! They were around the same price as 1 box of masks (10) $7.99, but the eye masks only came in 7 per pack, so they were kind of expensive.
cute packaging!


So what these masks are are vitimin C enriched Eye masks, and they have the special design that covers the top, bottom and the side of the eye.

When taken out of the package, it looks like this:
kind of like fishes with a big mouth =D



This is how it looks on the eyes:

pretty scary, LOL
I love this mask the first time I tried it, after 20 minutes, my dark circles seem less visible as well as those fine wrinkles under my eyes (which I have alot of)

Back to Brunette

2 Days ago, I really got bored of my hair colour and decided to change it back...closer to my natural hair colour but with reddish undertones. I've been wanting to use those Japanese hair dyes instead, but one of the dyes do not contain enough dye to colour all my hair, not to mention, they are pretty pricey, more expensive than the L'oreal hair dyes which are priced at around $12/box. I picked up a Clairol Nice & Easy Foam Dye which is priced around $8.99/box



 This is what the box contained... and the instructional manual


 What it looks like when applied onto my hair....


End result




I haven't had dark hair in quite awhile, so this will be taking some time getting used to =)

Quick & Easy Day to Night Eye Makeup

Ever since the first moonshadow baked Palette that Sephora featured, I've fell in love with it. Sephora recently brought out another palette, this time, featuring silver laced design called "In the dark". I love the colours that came with this palette, and it made eye contouring so easy! The top row have the lighter eyeshadow shades and the bottom row has the darker contouring shades to match! You don't necessary have to use the combo that's suggested, you can also mix and match the colours. They are so wearable, and sparkly!

So with that in mind, I've decided to do a really simple eye makeup that takes you from day to night without taking any makeup off! Instead, just layering it on.
