Clio Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini

While i was browsing the store looking for Gelpresso bloody edition liners
I stumble across these mini liners as well

The colors that they pick are so nice i got both of them
it's just nice to try out the colors too

They're quite tempting as per box priced at SGD 25.90
while the normal sized ones are SGD 18.90


 

 



A twist packaging but these doesn't come with a sharpener like the normal sized ones


Top (black box): beige shine, golden khaki, star purple, dark choco, golden black
Bottom (HD color edition): gold shine, bloody angel, deep sea blue, jade green, golden black

They have golden black for both sets
and actually, the jade green turns out to be more on the blue tone

Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner (Bloody Edition)

Got intrigued to try these liners after watching Pony's burgundy makeup tutorial
Especially the Bloody Devil got my interest


I got all 3 colors of the bloody edition





Very good holding power, just wait for it to dry in a moment
had to wipe over and over to remove them completely

strong smudge proof too, tried to wipe them after they dried & noting comes off

Each pencil comes with a built-in special sharpener
at the back

Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited Swatch

Brought some of Shu's glosses back from my trip to HK
didn't have plan to buy at all but when i saw them at the counter, oh the impulse...
Shu Uemura always manage to get me into impulse shopping


Had some trouble finding the blue one, they're sold out at a few of the counters i went to
went to more shops just to find that one(−"−)

Applicator is very soft with a hole in the middle to pick up the gloss
Didn't have any scent, just a faint usual lipgloss scent

The gloss are in thick consistency and sticky
looks like it's sticky to made it last longer
tried removing with the cleansing oil but i had to do it twice to get it really clean

The blue one turned to colorless gloss with a bit of shimmer
while the gold is glittery transparent

Urban Decay Naked Basics Swatch

Initially planning to get the Naked 1 or 3
but these matte colors for the Basics palette are just too tempting... (┰ ω ┰)
and anyway i need some matte colors too so, Naked Basics it is for now



Actual palette is smaller than the box
Palette size is just nice for traveling (10.5 x 5.5 cm) for those who don't usually use lots of colors



Top: Crave
Bottom: Venus, Foxy, WOS, Naked 2, Faint
All colors are matte except Venus, it has a slight shimmer to it (゚ー゚)

They're all super neutral & great for everyday use, easy carry when going out for touch ups
or to give as a gift for those who just started collecting makeups !
Price → USD 28 (SGD 42)

Burberry Fresh Glow & Velvet Foundation Review

When I first saw Burberry's make up line, the packaging really attracts me
it's simple yet sophisticated, with their trade mark pattern on it

The boxes are textured paper with silver prints



Bottle for fresh glow is clear while velvet foundation is frosted


Both packaging is in twist pump bottle


FRESH GLOW



Texture is light weight, not runny but easily spreadable
You can wear this as a base first or mix it together with the foundation


VELVET FOUNDATION


Sheer coverage foundation, light weight
not much oil control but staying power is pretty good

The sales person told me this foundation dries fast so you shouldn't pump too much at one time
pump bit by bit & use it immediately
So when i want to pump on one go, I'll just usually mix it with fresh glow
it helps to keep the foundation from drying

This is my lazy day foundation as the finish is powdery so no powder needed
except if you have the oily skin type then it's better to set it
