Series of Favourites: Make up remover

Removing makeup before heading to bed is the most important. I like to feel clean before I got to bed. I don't know how one can go to bed without removing their makeup, it feels sticky, heavy and blergh.

Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets

 

Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets (Regular Pack)

 

 

As the product states, 'Oil cotton sheets' so it is not oil free but it doesn't leave residues on my face. I also don't feel it cloging up my pores and I don't have any adverse effects using it on a daily basis.

A regular pack contains 48 sheets while I think 1 sheet is enough to clean my whole face even with thick liquid foundation on. (means using up every corner of the sheet)

It is alcohol free and removes waterproof mascara effectively! No more eyelashes falling off after removing eye makeup. Plus its an all-in-one makeup remover! Suitable for face, lips and eyes. A lazy girl's saviour! hehe.

They also come in Handy pack (10 sheets) which is convient for travelling.

What are your favourite makeup removers?

*I am not affliated with Kao or Biore. The post contains my upright honest opinion. Do note that with different skin could lead to different reactions to the product.

At a glance: Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Hello! I've been wanting to try this foundie since I can't remember. Anyways, I managed to get a sample through sg beauty. The seller also informed me that this particular foundie is discontinued here in sg?

I got it in shade 55 which is kind of dark for my skin tone (why do I keep thinking Im darker when Im not?!)

What attracted me to the foundation was that it seemed like a 'healthy' foundation with all the fruits and herbs as its ingredients. Apricot > radiance, Melon > hydration, Apple > antioxidant, Ginger > energy. It also claimed holding 16hrs of wear and 8hrs of moisture. So lets see..

The consistency isn't very thick, makes it easy to spread around. I used fingers to apply. Coverage is about medium, I could still see my pigmented scars through the first layer. Finish is dewy, it felt light and breathable. Wear, based on going outdoors, could only last me 3 hours before it was shiny and I had to blot. Maybe it could last longer in airconditioned places because it did kept my face moisturised.

As you can see, the shade I picked isn't a match for me. See that white cast!

And so, Im still continuing my search for the perfect foundation. I like the consistency but wished the stay power was longer and I should learn to get a better shade match for my skin!

 

Have you tried Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation? What do you think?

My current hair routine

Hello babes/guys! Today, I'll be posting about my current hair routine for my dry, unruly and a little frizzy hair. The crown and scalp part would turn limp, flat and greasy towards the end of the day. This current routine doesn't totally combat those problems that I'm facing but its sure helping to improve the situation.

 

For daily use, I'd either use Organix Acai Berry Avocado Shampoo or Avalon Organics Peppermint Strenghtening Shampoo. Im still trying both of them out thus the alternate usage. But I can assure you that both shampoo makes your feel soft straight away after rinsing. The feeling's so soothing.. ahhhh.

Next comes the must have conditioner for me, Essential Nuance Airy Conditioner. The trick is to leave it on for atleast 1 minute before rinsing for that soft soft feeling. For Gliss Schwarzkopf hair mask I use it once a week but its best to use twice a week. I love the smell of shea butter after washing. As with all hair masks, do not use it on your scalp or you'll experience substansial greasiness thereafter.

Lastly, a leave on serum or moisturiser is a must. For days under the sun, I use Sunsilk Weather Defence to protect the strands of my hair from drying up futher. Its lightweight and doesn't weigh my hair down, thumbs up for that. On other days, Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Anti Frizz Serum would keep my hair tame almost smooth looking.

 

Ah, all the things we would do to keep looking beautiful. How do you care for your hair?

Poll of the day! - Would You Ever Wear ZERO Makeup to the Office?

Hi girls! Its been 2 long months since I've update this little dusty blog. I've been super busy with 'work'. Yes, its a real excuse cause Im not that good in time management. So today's poll would be relevant to - yes work, that 9 - 6 job a lot of us goes through or going through.

Since my job is a non - executive, running around with logistics. I don't really bother with make up since there no occasion to wear and not like I'll be needing to meet external parties to put an impression. To me function over fashion. How about you girls?
