BeautyLicious: My Top Picks for Cosmetics Range

P/S: This entry is all about cosmetics, so if you happened to be a babe, do read on, if you are a dude, then might as well ignore this OR read on, so that you have a better idea of what to get for your spouse when cosmetic is concerned. Remember, babes like to be pampered, dude. :)

Let’s start with the basic shall we?

Facial Skincare

Over the years I’ve tried on countless salon brands, and not to mention how much I’ve spent solely on my face. My first ever cleanser and toner brand was called Meero which is an obsolete brand now I guess. Never seen it on the shelves since…like more than 10 years ago? All through my adolescence, I’ve developed a hyper-sensitive skin type which means getting a suitable facial skincare has become a challenging job. There was a point where I nearly gave up and let it be. I don’t know about guys but for ladies, it is very much frustrating for not being able to find a suitable facial skincare, especially for a hyper-sensitive skin type like myself!

Thank gawd I’ve eventually found myself one! It’s known as Drs Seager.

The range is exceptionally good for acne-prone skin (I have a sudden acne outbreak 3 years ago).

I am not saying that my skin is now as smooth as baby’s bottom but at least it has stopped the acne, for the time being (fingers crossed!).

Foundation

I used to be very anti-foundation coz one: I have very sensitive skin, do not wish to have any irritation that might leave ugly scars, a risk that I dare not to take; second: I don’t fancy looking like ICI paint.

But then there are some occasions that call for it. So I turned to my personal skincare advisor: Mommy the Expert. Hehe~

She recommended me DiorSkin Pure Light. And it was the best choice ever.

This liquid foundation doesn’t leave me a cakey feeling, instead it feels light on my skin and above all it looks super natural (literally) as if I wear nothing at all (on my face, duh…where else do you think I am talking about??!!). Plus it’s oil free which is perfect for my skin!

Eyebrow

Due to my not-so-dense eyebrows, I prefer brown shade to black. And the winner goes to………Lancôme’s Crayon Sourcils in Brun 012. It has got a small brush attached to one of its end which makes blending and shaping effortless.

Eyeliner

I’ve tried Kanebo and Shiseido before but my heart goes to Dior Liquid Eyeliner. The main criteria I am looking for is smudge-free and DiorLiner happened to do the wonder. :) It has been one of my must-have items for years.

It glides easily on the lids and does not irritate the eyes. The best part is: it can be removed by water!

So uhm….if it rains…try not to look up to the sky :p

Mascara

Again I heart Dior’s DiorShow waterproof mascara (both black and blue colour). It makes my eyelashes looking fuller and longer, not forgetting sexier. Hehe~

Or the second option would be Maybelline’s Micro-Fibre mascara. The only drawback for Maybelline is that it’s very hard to remove, you risk losing one or two lashes at the end of the day.

Eyeshadow

You would have guessed what my best choice is. Yup, it’s CD too.

And why is that so? Coz it’s long lasting even I am out the whole day and my face is getting greasy. A newly emerged best-liked is Kanebo T’estimo. Why is that so? Coz they have got very cool and shimmery shades, very Japanese. The main point is they are inexpensive.

Blush

Unfortunately I don’t use blush. :) Can’t provide any advice. Soree. ^_^

Perfume

Hmm…let me see…My favourites are Versace Bright Crystal and Burberry’s Weekend. They are absolutely gorgeous! Versace Crystal is very sweet, floral and cheerful; whereas Burberry Weekend is a floral feminine scent that lasts forever. Both can be worn casually during the day or elegantly into the night.

Another favourite of mine, Chanel Chance, it gives a stronger scent that spells sexy and is perfect for a romantic date. :) However I do not own any at the moment.
