An Epiderme Sponsored Review

Here's to another sponsored review, this time with EPIDERME~ (⌒o⌒/)

" Originated from the USA,

EPIDERME has dedicated itself to the relentless pursuit of creating innovative products by utilizing the latest and most scientific 'green', organic, safe and natural ingredients and technologies that provide a perfect skin care solution. From this passion for excellence, we promote optimum result to every skin perfectionist."

After some consultation with EPIDERME regarding my skin type, these are recommended if you have combination and acne prone skin like me.

In sample size tubes are the Brightened Up Cleaser,Perfect Daily Exfoliation Gel, Advanced Aqua Gel and an actual size Skin Cell Repair Essence.

With these step-to-step regime, EPIDERME promises optimum results in three weeks!  *impress*

Plus, EPIDERME products are Paraben-free! FYI, paraben is a preservative used in cosmetics/pharmaceutical products and has nasty side effects like allergic reactions and it is believed to cause breast cancer. So EPIDERME's products are very safe to use.

There's more!

" EPIDERME products are highly concentrated products based on spring water. It contain approximately 10 times more biologically active substance than ordinary skin care solutions which can quickly and effectively cope with cosmetics problem. When using EPIDERME you will not only get quick cosmetic effect but also psychological satisfaction because the result will be practically immediately."

Here are EPIDERME's 4 steps to a perfect skin!

Step #1 Brighten Up Cleanser

The cleanser is of rich golden liquid gels that works effectively to brighten and moisturize your skin. To use, leather it with tepid water then massage all over face and throat, twice a day.

My face feels super clean after using this. Would have liked it more if it doesn't have this one odd scent..

Step #2 Perfect Daily Exfoliating Gel

This Perfect Daily Exfoliating Gel is formulated with Pineapple Extract, Cucumber Extract and Witch Hazel Extract to help minimize dark spots and wrinkles. Exfoliate about 3 times a week for 2-3 minutes until small pieces appear before washing off.

Compare to the Brighten Up Cleanser, this one is mildly scented and I thought it smells somewhat like tea tree oil. Not sure if it's just the combination of all the 3 different extracts but I somewhat like it.

Step #3 Skin Repair Essence

I super like serums/essence so was super happy when I get to try this ❤ Moreover, one of my favorite mostly because it works in making my skin feels much more smooth after using it for a while.

Some more contains Seaweed Extract which gets rid of redness, inflammation and besides improving sensitive and roughness of skin! Besides, it activates and protect your skin cells and preventing the cells from being destroyed by UV rays. Google it up and you'll find Seaweed extract helps your skin in many many other ways too.

For RM192 for 30ml, it can last close to 5-6 months. Mine's pretty much used up already that's why no picture LOL

Step #4 Advanced Aqua Gel

Next is the Advance Aqua Gel which is a highly moist gel which repair besides increasing collage production. That's because it is formulated with coenzyme Q10 which fights free radicals and reduce wrinkles.  Furthermore, the gel also improve skin elasticity and tightness. Use it twice daily, but avoid the eye area.

It is actually much more of pink guava color but because of the lighting it turned out more orange.. This one is mildly scented which. It absorbs really quick and after few minutes I felt as though my skin feels slightly more tighter. So impressed I could actually feel the effect so soon after applying this gel!

Sponsored Review: Unboxing Best Buy World Hauls~!

I'll be reviewing some items from my sponsored hauls from Best Buy World today(⌒▽⌒)~♪ If you haven't heard of this online beauty/cosmetics site, read more about it(also purchasing how-tos) from my previous post here.

My parcel from BBW arrived promptly after I placed my order. Actually, it arrived the very next day! How awesome is that!

Ohlala~ Was super excited when I received it.

*eagerly unboxing*

So impressed with the products and service. Turns out, I'm not the only satisfied customer from Best Buy World ↓

Alrighty~ here are all the items I received (^o^/)

From left,

♥ Clinique's Stylish Flower Pattern Pouch, RM13

♥ Dior's Hydra Life Youth Essential Concentrated Sorbet Essence, 7ml for RM39 (R.P. RM57)
♥ Dior's Diorsnow White Reveal Day Essence, 7ml for RM35 (R.P. RM61)
♥ Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara, RM22 (R.P. RM42)

♥ Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Flirty Honey, RM34

♥ Estee Lauder's Pure Color Long-Lasting Lipstick in Fuchsia Fever, RM24

Now, just a short review on these items. First up is this Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Flirty Honey~

It feels more like a color tinted lip balm than a lippy really and it takes a couple of swipes for the sheer color to show.

The result is a very mild glossy tint that looks almost natural but gives my lip a pretty pink color ♥ Love it so much I've been using it very often!

↓ Don't you find the color pretty?

Personally, I would get this again and try other shades from the range of Clinique's Almost Lipstick too.  The other shade available at BBW is Black Honey. The color scares me a bit but if you like it, feel free to give it a try_then tell me how it turned out LOL (⌒▽⌒)

My second favorite from the BBW would be the Estee Lauder mascara.

The result_long eyelashes that doesn't clump up together.

See what wonders it does to my lashes. From nada to obvious looking lashes hahaha

I also love the essences and fuchsia lipstick. Oklah, that kinda makes everything from this haul LOL. I wanted to post photos for the lipstick review but realize I don't have makeup to go with it. My stash is mostly for natural and sweet make :/

Anyway, here's the final quick review on the essences.

They're both have a light texture and are mildly scented. Also, they feels really refreshing to the skin. The Dior snow White Reveal Essence supposedly target dark spots and preventing new ones while the Hydra Life essence works to "boost the effectiveness of subsequence applied skin care" and moisturizes the skin.

Regrettably, I can't tell whether they made a difference on my skin because I haven't been observing if there's any changes to my skin(Apologize about that).

On a final note, I hope my previous advert and these quick reviews have been useful for you, especially for new/would be BBWers. If you're interested to purchase any products I've reviewed on this post, you can find them in Best Buy World's

Sponsored Review: Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes(Lavender Sugar)

(^v^)/ I'm back with another review of Majolica Majorca product! This time it's Majolica Majorca latest addition into the Jeweling Eyes range with two new palette in Lavender Sugar and Apple Candy~

Limited edition Jeweling Eyes in Lavender Sugar and Apple Candy!

I received the palette in Lavender Sugar courtesy from Shiseido Malaysia along with their Lash King in brown and Brow&Lash Colorist from their latest range, the Psychedelicious Collection. You can read my review on these items here.

Anyway, here's the real thing up close~!

The Lavender Sugar Jeweling Eyes palette includes a base silvery shade, shimmering shade of pastel purple and baby pink and a less shimmery dark purple tone. All the colors are all heavily pigmented with silky smooth texture that are really easy to apply with its applicator brush.

Here's the swatches for this palette ♡

Lavender Sugar swatches on my arm

And le me trying it on! I applied it based on the instruction at the back of the packaging~ And oh btw, I'm using Stage Cosmetic eye primer as the base.

How I applied it~

Complete the look with a thin line of black liner on the upper lid and plenty of mascara!

 A clearer view without all the mess

ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ Doesn't the colors combination somehow just remind you of a blooming lavender field like in this photo?

My verdict? I'm HEAD OVER HEELS with the purple and pink combo! The bright pink shade totally brings out the magic of the entire palette and compliments the purple really well! And they blend together really easily. However, on the downside, the colors doesn't last too long. I had to get it fix at least after 2-3 hours :S

Still, overall the palette works amazing, especially the purple-baby pink combination!! I'd give a 4 out of 5 rating for it d(≥vO,)♥

Sponsored Review: Majolica Majorca Psychedelicious

Weeks ago, I mentioned received a number of items from Majolica Majorca for purpose of reviewing. Hope I haven’t been keeping some of you waiting (Ov≤)-☆ So walah~! Here they are!!!!

Hawt stuff in my handbag!

Items I received include a mascara, a brow colorist that also works as a mascara and a eyeshadow palette~!

The items initially in their packaging~

In this post, I’ll be reviewing only two of the products Lash King and Brow&Lash Colorist, both from Majolica Majorca’s Summer 2012 Collection~!

Introducing the latest line for Chapter 34:

Lash King in Brown, BR666

First up is my review on Lash King mascara! In this new line, Majolica Majorca's introducing its best selling mascara in a new BROWN shade! Similar to its predecessor, it has long fibers that gives your lashes awesomely natural-looking thickness and length! Not to mention a mascara formula with lengthening liquid mascara base. Also, it is described to be 'waterproof against sweat, sebum and tears'.

With 5mm fibers extensions for king size lashes!

Lash King in BR666

I applied the mascara by holding the wand horizontally and stroke it upwards in a zig-zaggy motion. There's so much difference already with just a single stroke but I tend to stroke the lashes at the outer corner of my eyes a couple of times to get the thicker-at-the-end result ♥

Apply to top lashes in zig-zaggy motion

Here's the comparison before(left) and after(right) applying Lash King in just a single stroke!

 With(right) and without(left) Lash King

I applied it to my lower lashes the same way I do with my upper lash but find that the fibers attached itself better to the lower lashes if you hold the wand horizontally.

The verdict?  I LOVE how it made my lashes distinctively noticeable and despite my black hair, didn't appear oddly mismatched ヾ(＠°▽^＠)ﾉ Also, compared to my usual black mascara, I think the brown makes my eyes stands out more naturally. I'd give a 4.5/5 rating for this baby ♡

Brow&Lash Colorist

Next up, Majolica Majorca Brow&Lash Colorist review. As their name may have suggested, this is a brow mascara that doubles as a lash mascara and they come in two shades of brown_ Vanilla Brown in BR333 and Maroon Brown in BR555.

Majolica Majorca Brow&Lash Colorist in BR555

This is how you apply it onto the brows_simple stroke it following the arch of your brows as shown in the photo below:

In just 3 simple strokes!

And the result?

Notice the huge difference it makes with just a single coat? Lovely!!

The brows appear lighter in a brown shade with reddish hint. The wand is made such that just the right amount of color is spread onto the brows and making it so easy to apply! Plus they looked oh-so-natural and would have complimented hair in dark chocolate shade or reddish/orange-ish brown. Can't wait to get my hair dyed soon!! ٩(♡ε♡ )۶

Oooh, and didn't I mentioned, it's a brow AND lash colorist? Apply it on your lashes the same way you'd use a mascara. Zig zag motion for top lashes and hold the wand vertically and swipe it from side to side!

Trade noticeable lashes for matching-colored brows and lashes?

Unlike Lash King, this Brow&Lash Colorist didn't do much difference  in the length of my lashes since they didn't have the fibers in the formula. It does give a lighter-colored and curlier lashes(I didn't use an eyelash curler for this review!).

I actually love the idea of matching brows and lashes but decided this Brow&Lash Colorist works best only as a brow mascara. The color made my lashes lighter in color they're hardly noticeable even from a close distance... |(''>.<')|| I'd still give this a 4/5 rating for this awesome idea!
