Maybelline Hypercurl Volum Express Mascara Review + Video

Hey guys! Today post is going to be exciting because I am going to do a review and test on the best seller Maybelline Mascara, the Maybelline Hypercurl Volum Express Mascara. I bet that you have tried this and seen this because this one is the same but features an all new & improve formula. This mascara claims to be Hyperlasting curl from day to night. Curl lock formula locks in a fully volumnized curl for up to 18 hours. Watch my video for a full review and test on this mascara.

I love mascara! Mascara is one of the product I would put in my Top 5 must use makeup products in my daily routine. In the video I will be testing on the Curl Strength, Tear Proof Test & Sweat Proof test. For Curl Test, I try to hang a rubber band on my lashes and see of the curls can hold up the rubber band. For tear proof test, I try to cry! and see of the mascara would not smudge when I am crying. The last test is sweat proof. I test weather this mascara smudge of I am sweating. Watch the video, and try not to laugh. haha.

My overall thoughts and review. I am impress with this mascara. This is mascara that really helps to hold up my curl and smudge proof. I got the one in brown and look forward to get in Black. This mascara is great if you are looking for mascara that curls and gives a little bit of a volume. Love this!

Gula Co. Otton Salve Review

Hey guys! What's up! Today I will be reviewing another product from Gula Co. I have review their Lip Scrub , Lip Balm & Body Oil before if you have notice. A quick introduction of Gula Co, its a Indonesia base brand that offers natural ingredient beauty products. What attract mes the most of course, the cute packaging they have. Lovely! Today I will reviewing their Otton Salve. It took me quite a long time to discover and understand what this thing really is. It is actually a multi purpose balm that you can use for your entire body. It came in a small case that is travel friendly so you can use it and bring it whenever you do. 

It came with 5 different options that you can choose. Peppermint, Green Tea, Lemon, Strawberry & Vanilla. It claims to be a transparent multi function balm that infuse with Rosehip Oil. It is said that this ingredient is great for your skin for moisturizing purposes and also improve skin metabolism. Provides you with skin with essential which is fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin E, and sterols.

It's also said that you can use this for :
- Moisturizing (rub on to dry skin)
- Healing dry spot such as lips, elbow, heel, cuticle
- Lightens dark lips & prevent chappy lips
- Can be used as makeup remover
- Gives you relaxing scents

All of them have the same texture. The different are only the scent. Peppermint has a scent just like a mild toothpastes, Green Tea has a mild green tea scent that is refreshing, Lemon has a sweet like "gula-gula hacks" scent, Vanilla has a musky play doh scent and my favorite Strawberry as it is, smells like strawberry candy.

It has a balm-y texture that is colourless. Not greasy of thick. Just nice. As stated above, you can use this anywhere you like like a body balm. I love to use this to prep my cuticles if I wanna give a little manicure to my nails. Also another great discovery, I love to use this to prep my eyebrows! No kidding! I use this to comb my eyebrows before apply powder on top. It holds my eyebrow all day long. I don;t like to use this as a lip balm, I find that it gives me this funny tingling sensation that I find uncomfortable. I also love to use this to moisturize my hand and elbow.

If you are interested, check out Lips & Colours IG and check out other products that they offer. Gula Co and many more!

Weee! Who does not love shopping! At last I got my hands on the palette that I have been dying for! Today I went to Sephora at Komtar JBCC and stroll around. I decided, I have not treat my self for a long time. I decide to shop a few items that has been in my wishlist for so long. So I got the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette & Tartelette Eyeshadow Palette by Tarte. I picked up the Too Faced Palette because, first, the packaging obviously. Second, its a more cheaper dupe of shade that I love. In the palette it has the shade called Silk Teddy (dupe for UD Naked 1 Sin eyeshadow & Stila Kitten & MAC Naked Lunch), and another shade called Nudie (dupe for UD Naked 1 Naked eyeshadow). Its RM129 for 9 eyeshadow, which is for me the best alternative as the single shadow for UD, Stila or MAC is RM49+ for 1 shade. The second palette I got is the Tarte Tartelatte, got this because ok ok.. first the packaging and second this palette is made and inspire by some of my favorite YouTuber like graveyardgirl aka Bunny & cutiepiemarzia aka Marzia. You can check out about it here - Tarte Tartelette. I am planning to get my hands on the Too Faced Better than s** mascara, unfortunately it is still out of stock. So that is all I got from Sephora. Two eyeshadow palette! yay! Now i can use it to test out my "sample" for my next product launch. wink wink~ Total of all 2 palette are supposely RM304, but because of the Private Sale, I only pay around RM248 including GST! I think that is a great deal!

So if you have a Sephora Black Card, head down to your nearest Sephora and shop! This sale is open to all Black Card owner from 20th May 2015 till 23rd May 2015. Storewide discount of 20%! Shop as many times as you want and if you have a friend who want to shop along and she is not a Black Card owner, they can also join by purchasing together with you.

Then I stroll around JBCC & City Square, i decide to go to Popular Book store. I remembered how much I wanted Michelle Phan book, thankfully there were 2 left! So I grab one! Can't wait to go through the book. Maybe I can do a little review on it. Then I went to Sasa and saw another great deal. I bought the Koji falsies which usually retails for RM59.90, it was on sale! I got it for only RM35+! So I just can't resist my self to not get it since I am looking for a good natural lashes and save it for my wedding day. <3. Well that's all for today haul! I am so happy and some of you may say I am jakun, well, I don't normally get to shop that often when I am a student, but now I am able to find my own money and I think i deserve a little treat! Review for these babies will be up soon, in shaa Allah. Toodles~

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

Remember my post on Instagram about how I have loved the Cetaphil cleanser that day? I tried their Gentle cleanser in the trial set and now I got myself a full size one! I wanted to try something that is mild and gentle on my skin. I heard so many people raved about this in YouTube and other reviews online. A little introduction, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a mild and has a non-irritating formulation that soothes skin as it cleans. It's also said it is gentle enough even it is safe for babies! Aww! Haha! So it is great for anyone who have delicate skin or sensitive skin.

I don't have a major sensitive skin but definitely see a great improvement when using this cleanser. After a whole lot of chemical products I have put on my skin such as makeup and stuff, this kinda soothes my skin after that. It's not like other normal foam cleanser as it  does not strip your skin natural oils after cleanse. It’s great when use but in a long term, it will rip off your natural skin balance. So you know the drill here.

This cleanser also does not have any overpowering smell. It's pretty straight forward. The bottle is pretty huge and dispense product easily. Now let’s talk about the texture. It is a jelly-like texture that rubs in like a lotion. Surprisingly it also removes my makeup residue pretty good. It does not leave my skin to be that "squeaky clean dry" thingy, but just as moisturize as it would be. To you who have experience dry skin after cleanser or irritation, you got to try this Cetaphil cleanser!

Name : Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Price : RM59.25 | 500ML (RSP with GST)
Net Weight : Available bottle sizes: 125ml, 250ml, 500ml and 1 ltr

Where to buy :  Watsons, Guardian, Caring, Vitacare Pharmacy and Aeon Wellness

Hope Girl Magic Skin Primer Review

Hello everyone! Did you use primer before makeup? I do sometimes. The current primer I have are the POREfessional by Benefit, Etude House Baby Choux and the most raved Smashbox photofinish. So far I have been loving the Smashbox. I don't really use primer on a daily basis is because I find that it is too much for an everyday "steps". When I am out for a special outing I would use it and make sure to really removes my makeup completely on the night when i got home. It is because primer are usually can't be seen or detected as it is mostly in a clear form of color. Today I will review another primer and this is from Hope girl bought by a local brand Nafura.

This primer is originated from Korea if I am not mistaken. It comes in a easy pump bottle that I love. The texture is pretty much just like the Smashbox photofinish but slightly "matte" just like the POREfessional but not flaky as the POREfessional. It has a pink tint color to it and this helps to brighten dull skin. So far I am impress by this primer. It is lightweight, does not really clog my pores and makes my makeup last longer. The only thing I don't like is the way it smells. I have a hard time when I wanna put this on my face. I don't like the small of it. It's too like.. I don't know.. woody? I am bad at describing scent. This primer is widely use by Makeup Artist here in Malaysia from what I can see from her Instagram Shop. So far, this is one of the best primer I ever use!

Name : Hope Girl Magic Skin Primer by Nafura

Price : RM 95

Make up Eraser Review & Comparison

Hello Loves! Phew! Its been a week! I know I know! I have been so busy with my brand launching. It has been a very crazy yet blessed week! Now I am back to my blog. I have so many things to show you guys, reviews and stuff. Today is going to be special because I get to review this thing right here! It has been around and I saw Bunny from Graveyardgirl also have review it. So i decide, I got to try it for my self because I am a person who loveeees trying new products especially makeup remover. Makeup remover is like my all time favorite product in skincare and I think it is the most importing thing to have. So let's get on to the review with a little intro on what this is.

This pink cloth said that, it remove 100% of make up including lipstick, waterproof eyeliner, HD, Matte and many more in seconds. It is reusable and you can wash it up to 1000 times. Promotes a mission on a no more need for oily chemical filled make up remover. How to use it, Rinse the cloth with warm water for best result, use the side without the tag to remove make up. Circular motion and use the side where tag is intact after removing make up for scrub purpose. You need to wash it after use it, air dry and once a week put it in the washing machine to wash off the stubborn stains from the make up. Just like a normal towel!

It came in this kinda like eraser shape box. Super cute! Inside the box you will get one makeup cloth and a how to card. First impression on this cloth is that it is super soft. The size is also just perfect to hold and store. 

If you notice, it has a 2 different texture on each side. It is said that the side with the tag attached to it (right part in above picture) is the more thick/textured" side, more like soft scrubbing and the left side is the one you start using to remove your makeup. 

My daily routine before discovering this cloth is by using my all time favorite makeup remover wipes from Biore. When I got this cloth I really want it to work so it will be a great option on days I ran out of my makeup remover. My Biore makeup remover is pretty costly. Its a every month maintenance to me and I mostly use it for my eye makeup to save up, while my makeup on the rest of my face I use baby wipes. A cheaper dupe but not as effective as the makeup remover. So by having this, imagine that I can reuse it for so many times. How cool is that. So here I am going to give you a comparison image to see the difference of this Makeup Eraser with a normal makeup remover wipes and a normal cloth. If you get what I mean, this makeup eraser is like a makeup remover wipes + cloth. Having both of this functions? Pocket friendly!

*If the gif does not work, try refreshing this page*

Comparison & Overall thoughts. So as you can see, the Makeup Eraser works amazingly same as a normal makeup remover that you have to repurchase over and over again. No chemicals but just soft cloth. Some of you may say, why do I have to use this pink cloth instead of a normal cloth. Well, normal cloth does not work on removing your makeup. So you get the deal here. This Makeup Eraser is a must have to any one out there who wears makeup and if you are allergic to makeup remover. Makeup remover is compulsory in your skincare routine!

Overall, I will still have my makeup remover wipes in my stash for a more deep cleaning. The Makeup Eraser also helps to removes my eye makeup. I have been using it for a month now and I can see the great way of fully optimizing my makeup removing routine. I will use this cloth first and then use my makeup remover wipes whenever I need more cleaning. Conclusion, I save more wipes than before! I love this thing! Especially removing face makeup. It works so well! Even tho its RM89+ for a cloth. Think about it. Love! This cloth is also easy to wash, trust me! Easier than cleaning a beauty blender. haha!

I'll do the math for you. 1000x usage = RM85 vs (1000wipes equal to 25box of Biore Makeup Remover = RM500+

Name : Make up Eraser

Price : RM 85 inclusive of postage. ( Promo Price )

Best Powder Brush | Face Luxe Brush by Breena Beauty

Hey guys! What's up! Are you having a holiday today? I hope you have a great time! I have a great time too because today is a big day for me.Why? I guess you all have know? Or maybe not? Well, today is the day where Breena Beauty, my little project that I have been working on for years has come alive and I am launching my first debut brush with is the Face Luxe Brush that I am reviewing today! Feels awkward to review your own product hey! But hey, you got to love what you created <3 

Here is a little description of the first brush I came out with. It is the best brush for powder & airbrush application. No more cakey face! Face Luxe Brush is a multi tasking brush that works great with both powders & liquid formula products. It creates a soft focus airbrush finish to your skin. Best used in buffing & padding motion. It features soft dome sculpted shape & ultra soft (non animal hair) synthetic bristles for an effortless, seamless & natural effect makeup application. Work best with, Face Powder, Powder Foundation, Loose Powder, Mineral powder, Translucent Powder, Pressed Powder, Liquid Foundation, Bronzer and many more by your own preference.

The handle is made out of wood and painted in white. Gold engraved logo of Breena & the name of the brush are on the handle. So the name of the brush would last longer and wont rub away. Although it is white, the handle can be clean and wipe easily from dirt. The ferrule is made out of high quality rose gold metal. The bristles are actually has a white tip and dark brown on the lower part. In the picture it looks black, but it is actually dark brown. Each individual brush came with a box for that luxury feel to it. There is the brush description on the back of the box. 

I know it is my brush but I can't handle myself to let you know that this is one of the softest brush I ever own! It feels so luxurious when applied on my face. Not scratchy feeling and no streaky textured leave behind when you use this brush. Even after a few wash, the softness remains. Guarantee! It has a rounded dome shape on top so t acts like a sponge but does not absorb too much of your product and waste your product.

Here are my favorite ways to use this brush. If you notice I have been mentioning about the best brush I use for my powder product. Yep, this is it! Been using it for years now since I got the sample from my factory and it is so hard to keep a secret! Haha! Glad it is reveal until it is fully ready to be launch. Since I got this brush, I never use face sponge to apply my powder. This has been helping me to evenly distribute my powder product effortlessly and evenly! The perfect amount of product is taken in just a gently swipe in any pressed product such as pressed face powder, foundation powder, bronzer, blush and many more. 

Other favorite to use this brush is for my loose type of product. Oh my oh my! Since I got this brush, I have been addicted to use my Laura Mercier Translucent powder with my brush. Its evenly distribute the powder to my face so easily. Does not swipe away my base which is the liquid foundation I applied before using my powder. Also if you search some beauty tips on how to apply powder, it is actually by "stamping" motions. With the Face Luxe Brush that is what you have to do. Your powder will last long and evenly buffed in to your skin and leaving your skin look natural and evenly covered. That is why I choose a short handle. Stamping and padding motion are easily done with this brush. No more sponge that full of bacteria!

If you look closely, the brush head of this Face Luxe Brush has a domed shape. Looks similar to a round type of sponge. The bristles are densely packed but it is very flexible so getting around the corner of your face is not a problem. My favorite way to use this brush is for my face powder product and blurring out any harsh applied blush and bronzer all over my face. It also can be use for a very liquid-y type of product such as liquid foundation. If you love a semi-high coverage liquid foundation, you may use this brush. This brush is now available at www.breenabeauty.com for RM39.00 as an introduction price. As for now it is onky available to be shipped in Malaysia. I am still working on for my brand to ship internationally.

Here it is, my #theprojectB, Breena Beauty. A vegan (no animal hair brush) and Muslim friendly makeup brush for you. What I am focusing are creating an affordable, essential and easy to use by all makeup lovers. Rather than piling up a few brush in one set and ending up only use a few of them, I wanted to create an individual brush for each steps in the makeup routine. Starting off with the basic one which is a powder brush. Maybe next one would be Foundation, then blush, then concealer. Who knows? So stay tune, and give me your support! I already working on the second brush. How to keep updated? Follow my Breena Beauty social media as below! Thank you so much for your support and I hope Breena Beauty will grow bigger with more awesome product coming in!
