Makeup Haul

Hi guys! :)

I bought some products this week, and I want to share my opinion to all of you.

So, let's start....

Last week I posted on my twitter about sale in Mall Taman Anggrek, and these are the items that I bought :

Revlon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup

I have a pale skin, so the lady at the counter said "Light Pale" is the best match for my skin color.  I also have a dry skin, so I asked her if this product is good for dry skin, and she said this is the best for dry skin.  The amazing thing is, it looks totally like a regular loose face powder, but when you apply it on your face, it gives a little bit wet and cold feeling.  I was like wow when I tried it. lol.  It won't give you a cacky look, but make sure to apply moisturizer first.  It has shimmer in it, the shimmer is very obvious when I put it on back of my hand, but when I applied it all over on my face, it's okay, the shimmer is not visible, my face didn't look like a disco ball. This product also comes with brush, and I love the brush, it's soft, pretty dense, conclusion : USEFUL. :)

Do I like it?  Yes, I do.

Will I re-purchase it?  Maybe.  I want to try the Revlon PhotoReady first... :p

Revlon ColorStay Aqua in Light Pale

Revlon ColorStay Mineral Moose
I asked the lady at the counter for concealer, she said Revlon doesn't have concealer anymore.  I don't know for international store, but in my country Indonesia, no Revlon's concealer at all. too bad. :(
Then she said this mineral moose could be use as concealer too.  She picked the color, and I blame myself WHY I didn't take a deep look to that color.  As you can see in the photo below, it's WAY too dark for my skin.  And fyi, my skin face color is lighter than back of my hand color. :(
I tried this for makeup base, and put loose powder over it, it gives me cacky look.  Maybe it'll look good for you who has oily skin? Maybe...

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick 
Actually, my mom bought this lipstick, but she said she already have a lot of this kind of color, so she gave me, and I accepted with smile.  hehe, thank you mom! <3
It's kinda dark color, and honestly I usually go with soft color on my lips, this is the first time for me go with this type of color :p
and you know, it's pretty good.  hahaha.  I've read good reviews of this line, and it's true.  :)

NYX Mosaic Powder
I was looked for a pink color actually, but the lady at the counter said this color will look good on my skin tone. So, I ended up buying this one, MPB 10 Love, it's totally fine because I didn't have this type of color of powder blush at home.  This mosaic powder have different colors in one.  Coral, orange, brown.  This one is also shimmery and if you have a pale skin color like me, you just need to dab a little because the color is very "strong".  The down side of this mosaic powder is it's TOO powdery, lots of fall out.
Do I like it?  So-so.
Will I re-purchase it? Yes, but I'll try another color.

One more thing from NYX.
NYX 5 Color Shadow The Caribbean Collection
I chosed this type of color because I like natural colors, hahaha.  I LOVE EVERY SINGLE COLOR in this squad.  I adore the second color (from left).  4 colors have shimmer in it, the only matte olor is the highlight color (second from right). These eyeshadows are well pigmented.
Definitely will play with this squad till I get bored.  :))
Do I like it? YES!!!
Will I re-purchase it? Yes, but again, will try different color. :)

NYX The Caribbean Collection in ESP5C02

Swatches

For concealer, I ended up buying Bourjois.  I looked for Maybelline Fit Me or Maybelline Age Rewind, why? Because I read and watch reviews of those.  Unfortunately, those products are not available in Indonesia.  *deep sigh*
and for this Bourjois' Concealer, it's okay, but it doesn't wow me.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer

I ran out of mascara, my previous mascara is already dried out.  So I decided to try Oriflame new Mascara.  It has a unique design, you can pull it out twice.
as you can see at the top photo, it will make your lashes thicker, and if you pull it out once again (bottom photo), it will make your lashes longer.  So it depends on what kind of lashes' look that you want, thicker or longer? or both? :)

2FX Mascara Oriflame Beauty

And yesterday, I bought these Revlon's products (again). I don't know, but I feel like I want to know more about this brand. lol.
I bought these in Centro, Mall of Indonesia.  Yesterday, they had a bonus if you purchase over IDR 200,000.  The bonus is Revlon Touch & Glow Extra Moisturizing Face Powder.  And I couldn't miss it, duhh~ there were an extra product free!  Typical.  lol

Revlon Wet/Dry Shadow
It doesn't show up pretty good on my photo (sorry), but these colors are pretty!! I LOVE IT!
The pink is very pretty and the gray is the perfect match, you can do a semi-soft-smokey eye from these colors. I don't know if "semi-soft-smokey" make sense.  Sorry. :p

Revlon Wet/Dry Shadow in Thunder & Light

Revlon Powder Blush
I pick two colors, the light brown is for shading and I pick the nude pink one too,
I tried to swatch it on my hand, but the color didn't come out pretty strong, so I decided not to put the photo in this post, you wouldn't see anything anyway.
It has only a little bit of shimmer, which is I like.
I tried these blush today, it was good, all you have to do is to dap in it a little more.
these are the opposite of NYX blush,  hahaha.

Lastly (fiuh), this is the bonus product.
Revlon Touch & Glow Extra Moisturizing Face Powder.  From its name, it has "moisturizing", and I think I'll like this face powder, typical of dry skin person. :p
The only thing that bother me is the scent, not a bad scent but still it's pretty strong for my nose :p
It would be great for me if it didn't have strong scent.

That's all about it!
hope you find this post is helpful for you. :)

My "Mini" NYX Package

My "mini" NYX package has finally arrived!  I was so excited when I opened it, haha.  I ordered mostly lip products; two lipsticks, two lipglosses, 1 loose powder eyeshadow, 1eyeshadow brush, 1 NYX jumbo eye pencil (this is for my mom).

Okay, so let's start! :)

For lipsticks, I picked one in "Stella", and one in "Iris".

I love the color actually, but the problem on my lips is the lipstick doesn't stay long, maybe because I have dry lips?  It only took two hours and I need to re-apply it.  I'll try to put lipgloss over it so maybe it will last longer.
Update : The Iris one is like melting for no reason, the first time when I used it, it did show sign about it, but I think it's because I put too much energy when applying it. lol. turned out, it DOES not have a good texture like the other one.

For lipglosses, I picked one in "Sorbet" from Round Lipgloss Collection.  I like it.  I've tried it earlier this day, it stays longer than the lipsticks I bought, probably 4-5 hours, and the color is good.  I don't have problem with the sparkle and glitter in it, not too much, so it's okay for my taste. :)

The other one is in "Beige" from Mega Shine Lipgloss Collection.  Still in pink color,but darker than Sorbet. This lipgloss has a cream finish on lips.  I LOVE THIS TO DEATH.  Will re-purchase it for sure. Pretty! <3

And I got one Sheer Gloss in "Breeze", this is the bonus from the online shop, haha.

thank you. :)

 Swatches (left to right) : Sorbet, Beige, Breeze

I picked Ultra Pearl Mania in "Mocha Pearl".  This is the first time I buy loosepowder eyeshadow. For the color, I love it! But, I have to say, I'm not a big fan of this, because it obviously has tons of fall out.

I also picked MB08 Eye Angle Brush, pretty soft when I touched it, but when it comes to your eyes, it doesn't feel that soft.  So, I'm kind of dissapointed with this brush. 

Lastly, for NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil, I picked "Cream Cheese", this would be good looking for inner corner of our eyes.  The color is pretty, but it does smudge easily. :(

So that's pretty much about my mini NYX package. :)

Sariayu Excotic Indonesia

First blog post is dedicated to local brand from my country, Indonesia. :)

Lucky enough, I had a chance to swatch all eyeshadows and liquid lip color from tester kit of Sariayu Martha Tilaar.  This year, Sariayu's theme is "Exotic Indonesia TheColors of Asia".

For 2011, there are four mini pallete eyeshadows, each have three different eyeshadow colors.

Okay, let's see the swatches on my hand.  (btw, I didn't use an eye primer, and most of them came out pretty good).

 

Petikan Sitar

Alun Serunai

Dendang Rebana

Denting Kecapi

 

If I had to use all three colours of one pallete, I'll go with Petikan Sitar (play safe :p),then my second choice would be Denting Kecapi.  I think the rest are very bold and have bright color that I'm not gonna use (yellow and green), but after seeing many variations that I could have by using others, hmm... Maybe I should try using those bright bold beautiful colors.

For liquid lip color, they have same name with the eyeshadows quad.

One pair have liquid lip color and a lipgloss.

Petikan Sitar has red color, Alun Serunai has coral orange color, Dendang Rebana has brown which is a little too dark in my opinion (actually, it depends on your lip color),and Denting Kecapi has medium pink color (not too dark but also not too light, you'll see the swatches anyway :D).

Petikan Setar, Alun Serunai, Dendang Rebana, Denting Kecapi

so, that's all about it.  Hope these swatches help you guys to pick which one is your favourite item, OR you want to buy all collection.  Haha.
