Baviphat Magic Girl BB Cream

A friend of a friend recommended this Baviphat's range of BB creams as they are apparently really good and does wonders for make up. 

These are now available only in a few Watson Stores retailing at RM69.90 (U$ 20+ish) . It's not cheap, but its not overtly expensive either. 

I bought the product coz it contains collagen T^T . I know, I'm hitting 25 this year so I'm starting to get super paranoid and concerned about sagging skin. 

In addition, it comes with the usual SPF 30++ and some whitening agents. 

I can't read much of the other instructions coz its all in korean, so far I've been using it for nearly a month now. 

Isn't the packaging just mad adorable? 






It has a rather thick liquid consistency, but still spreads rather easily across the face. My makeup does stay on longer (as it usually does with most BB creams). But am I a fan of it? Not so to be honest. 


Maybe because it has whitening agents in it, it doesn't blend with my natural skin colour as most BB creams usually do. I usually end up with a bit of a two-tone face after applying this, and I needed to buy a darker tone face powder to counter this effect. I'm not very fair either, so it really doesn't help that I'm using this product as well. I guess its my own fault as I bought it knowing that it had whitening agents in it. But I'd definitely recommend this product though for girls who are pretty fair-skinned :) 




Overall its not bad, it does a great job ensuring my skin looks peachy, elastic, and pore-free. But I won't buy this again as its not really suitable with my skin colour and it only comes in one-colour tone.

Maybeline Hyper Sharp!


Hellloooooooooooo~~~~!! 


I've been such a hermit hiding away from the internet world lately (except facebook but its become more of a commodity rather than internet anymore T^T ) 

Been meaning to create a post about my everytime make-up routine. Not like anyone cares but whatever. I feel it really helps other girls like me who have single eyelids. It really helps my eyes look TONS bigger, especially when I don't bother to use double-eye lid tape since they don't work on me anywayz. 



A close up for my everyday make up






Here's my basic make up fix:





Foundations: 
Heroine Make Liquid Matte BB 
Heroin Make smooth cover powder

Eyes: 
Essence brown eyeliner (super cheap for like, RM7.90 only) 
Maybeline Hyper Sharp Liner (around the range of RM20 ) 



I really really really love this liner. Making ''winged'''tips at the ends of my eyes just became a hundred times neater and so much more accurate! I love how its waterproof as well as I have oily eyelids and it lasts all day long.



The only thing I don't like about it is that it finishes like seriously fast. I've only been using it for a month but I can start to see that the ink isn't as thick as it used to be when I first bought it :/ Kinda pricey to keep topping up RM20 a month!! Its like fuckin electricity bills. =.=


Lovin'my new table cloth as well. ho ho!! just bought it barely 2 hours ago from 100yen store and I thought it'd make a great background for my reviews from now on :D

BB cream reviews: Etude house & Kiss Me

I think I'm gonna move my blog to include make-up reivews from now on because I really feel that Malaysia has hardly anyone giving reviews on make up you can find in Watsons and Guardian which can be a real BITCH.

I do keep trying to find reviews for certain products but sometimes it's really hard as I know there's just such a wide span of make up its hard to review every single one. And its a real put-downer when you've been eyeing that makeup off the counter for ages, paid rm50 for it and only to find out the damn thing doesn't work =___= 


Coz let's face it, stuff you buy and try on the spot always looks a lot better than when you decide to bring it back home. 

So here's by review on the popular BB cream that's been going around a lot lately. 

Tbh, I LOOOVEEEEE BB creams. I think their God's gift to womanfolk. I started using it 2 years ago after my friend intro-ed to me, and I did notice that my pimples are a lot smaller and fewer. My skin had less freckles since I was wearing a thick layer of SPF everyday which is an ingredient in BB creams. 

Etude House was my first ever BB cream


Photobucket
Photobucket Its got a lovely, creamy texture and covers up flaws extremely well. The only downside is that I have combination skin, so after a few hours my forehead and nose area tend to get a little oily which is annoying as I have to touch up often. It probably might work better on someone who has dry skin coz my friend doesn't have this problem at all.


Cost is reasonable as well (during sales). I got this at half price for only RM30. After the Etude House BB cream finished, I tried using Japan's BB cream called ''KISS ME: Heroine make-up''. The tag-line is damn cute, saying that a heroin must always look good no matter through rain or shine, her makeup must stay on.
HAHAHAHAHAH!!

H Bought at Watsons for RM55. Overall though, I do prefer Kiss Me coz even though I'd have to admit the coverage isn't as fantastic as Etude House's BB cream, at least it doesn't leave me with an oil-coated forehead after 3 hours. Such a turn off!!!! Plus, the texture is a lot more liquid that Etude House BB which is much more suitable for my skin type. Photobucket



After layering all that BB cream on, I usually put on powder to ''set'' the BB cream. This is so that your BB cream can last A LOT longer. I'm now trying out this brand called Essence Photobucket This brand was dirt cheap for me for only RM14, its a hell of a bargain. However, you do get what you pay for.

Note, it is loose powder, so I have to buy one of those big makeup brushes to apply it on. I felt the powder wasn't ''fine'' enough as if I put a wee too much that day, it tends to make my face look a tad too powdery. Overall, not bad, but I wouldn't exactly buy this again despite the price as the coverage isn't that fantastic. 







Erm, forgot to include this beforehand (hey, its my first thorough make up post) , I apply concealer on my undereyebags. I use Kate (Japan) concealer. Photobucket I I have serious badass eyebags like BIG time, but unfortunately this concealer hard does help if at all :( Here is a picture of me after applying BB cream, concealer, and loose powder.





I know this post is crazy long but I hope its been a tad bit of help to some of you at least! :)
