Sleek MakeUp Blush Pixie Pink

I was browsing luxola website & was thinking to myself why don't I try Sleek Makeup Blush since I already purchased their eyeshadow and it was not a bad product.While browsing at the same time I was reading up reviews on the blush and decided to give this a go.I ordered it and got it the next day..I shall talk about my shopping experience with Luxola Singapore soon.

    Price : SGD 14 

    Description found on luxola website 

    Different blush colors for different skin tones and it is great value for money.

    My Take

    This blush is pinkish in color and it will look flattering on fair skin.Don't worry tanned skin girls, you can

    definitely give this a try before buying it to see if it suits you or not.As for dark skinned girls,I am really 

    sorry but I doubt it will suit you.

    When applying,start by applying a little then built upon it and stop when you feel that you have achieved 

     the look that you wanted.So this is definitely something not meant for beginners.Don't overapply if not you can end up looking like either something slapped you on the face or looking like a clown..

 

    

    The reason for me to love this is because I prefer wearing blushes that shows up on my cheeks rather than

    colors not showing up at all on my cheeks..Another good stuff about this will be that it last for around 3   

    hours before disappearing..If you have oily skin then this is one that you can try for.

    The only disappointment will be staying power will be longer.

Coming up next is Lush Product : Breath of Fresh Air 

NYX Matte Lipstick "Shocking Pink"

Today I will be reviewing about NYX Matte Lipstick in the color of "SHOCKING PINK".

I got this lipstick through cherryculture.com in May 2013 and I am only reviewing it now.I have no idea why I did not review it till now..I could have missed out on this.

Coming to the product,it is a matte lipstick which comes in 22 different colors from red to brown to pink to orange.I choose pink since I don't own one in that shade.

The texture of this is a bit creamy after applying lip balm.I apply it in the morning and by lunch time it is half gone and require touch ups after few hours.I won't say that the staying power is really great(which I found other bloggers to say is really great) and I am pondering where did I go wrong??For me the staying power will be around 4hours to 5hours.I love the color because it is great to wear it for work and party.

As of now,I have one nude from TBS,one pink from cherry cultrue,one red from NYX & one lipgloss from Burts Bees.A caution before I proceed will be that this lipstick is not at all meant for those with severe dry lips even if you apply with lipbalm and for those with dry lips can try using a lipbalm and see how it works out for you..

PROS :

• Will work for those with dry lip(make sure to scrub the lips and use lip liner)
• Many other colors available

CONS : 

• Not many girls will be daring enough to try this color out
• Severe dry lip girls kindly stay away from this
• Don't find it to be moisturising

LUSH CELEBRATE BODY LOTION REVIEW

Where I got it :

Sister bought it for my birthday from Lush Singapore store. Price is SGD 43 per 225g

What I got : 

Lush Celebrate Body Lotion of 225g.

What Lush says about this :

It is the perfect lotion to put on before the festive mood begins.Cocoa butter and almond oil will replenish and moisturize the skin.It is full of fragrance, rich and creamy.This is one of our first preservatives free lotions. 

What is my thought :

I love the smell of the lotion which has citrus smell in it.The creamy texture and the way it gets absorbed into my skin once I apply it onto my hands and body is really smooth though it can get bit greasy if you apply way too much.

I am not so bothered about the greasy part because I am so in love with this product and the smell does linger around for quite a long time..Imagine applying this in the morning and by the time you come back home,you still can smell this on your hand..One last thing before the sad part,this tub should last you for 4 months unless you are someone who uses a lot daily.As for me,I have been used it since November 2013 & now it is December 16th and it has not even reached half the tube yet.

Only sad thing is I am not sure if they will be keeping this limited edition product.

Feel the smoothness

AVAILABILITY : Lush Singapore stores or Lush Sg Online

Once this is over,I will be trying other body lotion from LUSH though this is my HG body lotion for now.

LUSH Volcano Foot Mask

I knew there was face mask but never knew that foot mask..I know some of you will be gasping that where on earth are you living and you don't know the existence of the foot mask?I seriously did not know at all but once I got to know about it,you could say I was in luck.I did not get it by my own but my sister asked me what I wanted to for my birthday and I told that I want LUSH Volcano Foot Mask.She said fine and in the end she got me the Foot Mask and a Body Lotion.Continue reading to see if I like it or not.

What Lush says about the Foot Mask :

- Fresh Papayas and lemon juices meant for cleansing

- Tomatoes,potatoes and anti-fungal essential oils remove odor and foot gremlins

- Spice up your life : Stimulating cinnamon leaf oil leaves your feet tingling

- Ten Toes Up       :  A totally refreshing and transformative experience

- Rough stuff          : Pumice is great exfoliant to remove the dead skin on our feet 

How to use it :

Slather on our thick kaolin and pumice Volcano Foot Mask to draw out the impurities and dirt from our feet and remove rough skin.After ten minutes,scrub off the foot mask for a baby like soft skin feet.

My Feet Experience :

I am someone who used to wear a lot of strap slippers and sometimes I do wear flats too..Because of this,my feet skin had this dark mark of the strap left on my right feet.Ontop of that,I have cracked heels on both my feet and no matter what products I tried did not seem to help to improve my cracked heels.

This is how my feet looked like before applying the mask

How I used it will be I take certain amount of mask onto my hands and apply to my feet.

After which I tie using a plastic bag to my leg and rest for around 20 minutes though it did say 10 minutes.While waiting for the time to be up,I could feel that burning sensation plus the feet been cleaned up from dirt.

After which I go to the bathroom,remove the plastic bag and start to rub the mask off with water running under the tap.While rubbing the foot mask,I could see dirt coming out from my feet and my feet becoming a lot brighter than before.After that,apply foot lotion or like how I did was to use Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion to moisturise my feet.

See this photo to believe it.I can guarantee you that there is no gimmick or anything to it.

Where to buy from :

1. Lush Sg website which includes delivery charges
2. You could head down to the Lush Stores which is at Orchard or Suntec City

Price : SGD 21 for 125g

PROS:

• Made up of mostly natural ingredients(my number one favourite)
• Cleared off most of my feet mark within the first use
• Soften the skin
• Finished my tube and brightened up my feet a lot

CONS :

• Have to finish it within a month

Final Verdict :

I will definitely repurchase it.As I am drafting this blog,I just finished it around 2hrs back.I am waiting for my next outing on Saturday to get that plus a foot lotion again.

Another thing is that LUSH has written on the tub is use 5 tubs or tubes and exchange it for a fresh face mask for free.I am done with this one and I will be getting the next one plus I have a body lotion tub to finish..
