April Haul


Beauty Blender 
After reading all the raves, I can't help but to give it a try! 


Whitening Lighting
I've always been bothered that my teeth is a bit yellow since I love drinking coffee! 
This product seems more simple than white stripes so we'll see how it goes.


Maybelline Instant Age Rewind (Light)
Laura Mercier Concealer (#2)
Color Tattoo Eyeshadow (Bad to the Bronze)


Swatches
Maybelline, Laura Mercier, Color Tattoo

The Laura Mercier Concealer looks very orange in the swatch, but it blends nicely onto the under eye area. The texture is very creamy and less drying than the Bobbi Brown Concealer. I used to really enjoy the Bobbi Brown Concealer, but recently it hasn't been working out!


Stila Eyeliner (Topaz)
Perfect colour for the bottom waterline.


Sephora Airbrush & Mineral Brush

I have been using the Sephora Airbrush for liquid foundation. It gives a nice smooth finish and the foundation is less likely to look cakey. 



Have you tried any of these products?

April 2012 Glymm Box



I'm still not impressed with the Glymm Box so far. I guess it's hard to like every single item, since it's not personally matched. This month's box was more for hair and body?

Products:

  • LUCIA - Soap No6. Wild Ginger & Fresh Fig Soap
The soap gave this box an overall nice scent, which is a plus. =P Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of bar soaps, so I won't be trying it. 
  • ATELIER COLOGNE - Orange Sanguine Fragrance
I hate this kind of packaging for fragrance samples. It's so hard to open and I don't like the scent getting on my fingers (which it did).... The fragrance is as the name says, orange! It is a nice scent, but I personally wouldn't wear it. It's basically the orange smell you get on your fingers after you've peeled an orange!
  • FREE YOUR MANE - Sulfate Free Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner
I'm excited to try this shampoo and conditioner out since it's sulfate free. I'm quite sensitive to shampoos now, where I easily get itchy scalps if I use the wrong ones. Will update later once I've tried it out. 
  • MAI COUTURE - Social Gloss (G'Vinity)
A pearly-light beige sparkly lip gloss? Don't have the urge to try it yet though... 
  • NUME - $100 Gift Certificate
I have a hair straightener and hair dryer from them, and so far so good. Excited to put this to good use later on!

Let me know how you liked the April Gymm Box!

"Marcelle BB Cream" Review


I purchased the Marcelle's BB Cream in the colour "light to medium." The BB Cream is said to have 8 in 1 benefits, which I'm sure you've already read about it so I'll just cut to the review. 

Pros:
- sleek and convenient packaging 
- creamy & easy to smooth out 
- matches & evens out skin tone (I have a yellow-base/ light skin tone) 
- no fragrant, good for sensitive skin
- decent price
There was a 20% off on Marcelle products at London Drugs and I had a $2 off coupon, so final price came out to around $18. 

Cons:
- very light coverage, it only evens out your skin tone like a makeup base! 
It slightly faded the redness around my cheek area, which is usually my greatest concern when it comes to coverage. If you are someone who likes a bit of coverage, this isn't for you. 
- dry patches 
Dry patches sometime appears around my mouth area and nose after I apply it. 


I don't think I would repurchase this product, since I like a bit more coverage. But I do enjoy using this product when i need to look decent fast, either to the gym or out for a quick munch. I usually wear it with some concealer and blush to make me look more awake!  

How did you like the Marcelle BB Cream?

Updates

Finally done with exams, and getting the next four months off. It's that time again when I need to think of what I want to do with my life, work or school? I still don't have a clear path for the future, which is starting to get bothersome. Think think think!

Going to try blogging more now that I have more time. New posts coming soon =)

Hearing this song just makes my heart broken and tears begin to fall down.
Its amazing what music can do to our emotions.

Two people falling in love for each other sure is a wonderful thing.
But having to realize that the person that you've loved no longer loves you...is just devastating.
