Its funny because I bought/received SO MANY foundations and BB creams this year. I think my collection probably grew by 3 times this year and I still find myself going back to this BB cream every time. It provides a medium coverage, and an SPF of  37 PA +++ which is pretty high.
 For some reason, it photographs very nicely, though it contains SPF in it which would usually leave a white cast.

I’ve been wearing this concealer for the past 2 years.. or even 3! And to date, I haven’t found a concealer that is as creamy, has better coverage and doesn’t crease.. at this price! 

This is only SGD 14.90 and lasts a really long time. I brought it with me on this trip and I use it all the time to conceal my blemishes, and highlight the bridge of my nose and eye area, still left with about 3 weeks worth of usage haha!

I love how its not as cakey, very creamy and easy to blend. Although it only has 2 shades, 1 and 2 (something a lot of ppl fuss about), I feel that Shade 1 fits me perfectly. I can use it as a highlight and it gives the prettiest lift to my face.

I did an advertorial and demo in a blog post here. 

On the AB eyelid tapes. AB is a brand originated from Taiwan and specialises in different eyelid tapes for different sets of eyes. I was born with double eyelids, so using the kind that comes in a yellow box is most suitable for creating more deep-set looking eyes.

I use these AB eyelid tapes on days when my eyelids decide not to cooperate with me, haha anyone feel me? I call them eyelid-wonky days.

It is by far the BEST eyelid tape I have ever used. Although it is much more costly than other eyelid tapes in the market, these are so sturdy, and does the job well. 

I get the crease I want every single time and its so easy to use. Plus it stays put the whole day, even with make up over. And also, it looks pretty natural!

I don’t think anything can go wrong with this palette because it has everything you will ever need. 

From mattes, to glitters, neutral to electric and bold colors, the Vice 3 covers it all. 

I did a review on this palette here, with swatches of every single shadow included. It also comes with a huge mirror that makes it so much easier when I’m doing my make up on the go. What I love about this palette is that unlike others, it doesn’t only have a certain “family” of colors. 

You know how most palettes are either neutral, smokey, brown, taupe, reddish… etc? 

The Vice 3 has everything from Green to blue to brown to silver to gold, to purple.. everything!

I can do my eyeliner, brows, contour, eyeshadow all in just one palette!

Quality: needless to say, Urban Decay probably makes the best eyeshadows in the market in my opinion. Every color is so true and vibrant, they glide on so easily and is so easy to blend. Of course this is pretty pricey, but this palette will probably last you a lifetime! Hahaha

This is by far the blalckest, and most opaque liquid eyeliner I’ve used in my life. I’m proabably on like my 6^th or 7^th one right now? It has a relatively thin tip that allows for easy application. It comes out completely black and opaque, dries so quickly (so you don’t have to worry about it transferring on your eyelid) and doesn’t budge at all throughout the day!

Highly highly recommend this eyeliner, I even bought 2 more to bring with me to europe because I know I wont be able to find it here.

If you’re wondering.. yess I know I can be Heroine Make’s spokesperson already. HAHA! But I’m serious when I say that this Mascara is the most longlasting one that I’ve ever used. Something about heroine Make and their products huh :>

People who’ve used other HM Mascaras before will know that its super waterproof and very difficult to get off. That’s probably the only downside to this mascara – the removal. This doesn’t bother me too much because I use the Heroine Make mascara remover, which makes removal much easier!

Back to this mascara, it is really black, and have little fibers that cling onto your lashes to elongate, separate and provides a tiny bit of volume.
 HM also has another version for volumizing, which works pretty well too but I personally prefer length and definition to volume for my lashes, so this is my fave! Because it is so waterproof, it does not budge and keeps the curl ALL DAY. Thumbs up for it being affordable as well!

I’m sure MAC blushes need no explanation. Everyone loves MAC for its huge range of colors and pigmentation. I personally love the shade, Desert Rose (not available in SG) but it is the perfect Mauve color the goes so well with any skin tone.
It is not the cheapest, nor the most long lasting, and neither does it have the best packaging (so bulky) but it has pretty good color payoff and allows me to blend pretty easily.

This blush has the prettiest packaging imo – it is so small and compact, and I like how its totally transparent that allows me to see the color of it easily.
It is also rectangular which enables me to store it easily.
 Although I only recently got it on my trip to Amsterdam, this is the ONLY blush I have been wearing since then. It has the prettiest color and lasts a long long time!
Says a lot huh ;)

My friends don’t call me the “Lip Balm Queen” for nothing. My lips are so dry and I absolutely detest the feeling of chapped lips. I have about 2 lip balms in every single bag I use and a tiny one in my wallet – I think its clear that I need my lip balms wherever I go. Haha!
 Its not a bad habit though, I feel that taking care of my lips is very important because I have exceptionally dry lips and it might trigger my eczema to flare up.
I love the Maybelline Babylips because not only do they taste yummy, they are very moisturizing and readily available at affordable prices!

I’ve used many other higher end ones that often claim to give better results, and none of them really give me lips as soft as these.

I’m sure you guys are probably sick of me raving about this lipstick. But this is my holy grail go-to lip color the whole year! This is also the only Chanel lipstick that I bought (others were gifts), so you can only imagine how much I love it.
I’m never one to splurge on lipsticks because I feel that dupes out there are always easy to find. Always been a huge fan of drugstore brands like Rimmel, Revlon, Maybelline, NYX etc because they make amazing lipsticks at a fraction of the price.

But when I first tried on this shade during one of my photoshoots, I knew I had to get it. It’s like no other- for one, the color is nothing I’ve seen before. There are a few drugstore alternatives but the color is not even close to this.

L’exuberant is like a fuschia, pink that has a little bit of coral, pink, red, purple.. its just the perfect shade to me. Plus I love how I can apply it sheer or build it up easily and it gives me a brand new look.

Apart from the very attractive price (this was only SGD$12 ish), these have the best pigmentation and they glide on so smooth and easily on the lips. My personal favorite is this shade called Istanbul, a soft, nude, my-lips-but-better baby pink. Its so natural it can pass off as me having super healthy and beautiful lips.
But of course, everyone has different natural lip colors and this is pretty close to mine.. just better.

Every girl that use make up should have already heard about this product by now, I can’t think of anything else that has been hyped up as much as the Beauty Blender Sponges on the internet in the year 2014!

If you’re interested, I wrote a whole long post on why it is SO DAMN WORTH your money.

I know many of you feel that spending $30 on a sponge is ridiculous, but I must say that this is probably my favoritest of favoritest out of all the products I’ve mentioned in this post. Seriously, I don’t know what I’ll do or where I’ll be if I hadnt discovered this earlier. HAHA!

If you’re a fan of flawless, simple, easy, quick and brainless application, you need a Beauty Blender sponge in your life. Hahaha in case you guys are wondering again. Nope, this post is not sponsored nor paid.

The durability and quality of this sponge is incedible and unlike any other sponges I’ve tried. I used to use a foundation brush/my fingers to apply my foundation and thought that buying another tool is unneccessary since I can just use my hands – they’re free of charge anyway LOL.
But trust me, applying foundation with your fingers can sometimes be unhygienic, and the worst thing is when you’ve got long nails and you get foundation in between your nails! EW

Plus, I found that using fingers always result in me slapping too much product on my face, not forgetting, it can sometimes look patchy and uneven too.
