Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque Lipstick | Review & Swatch

Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA LaqueBourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque

 

The way Bourjois describe their NEW Rouge Edition AQUA Laque…

[color-box]

ROUGE EDITION AQUA LAQUE
MIRROR-LIKE SHINE, INTENSE COLOUR & 10HR HYDRATION.

The non-sticky formula glides on easily, creating a water-light sensation on the lips. And what’s more, it contains Nymphaea extract to smooth and moisturise. Available in 8 mouth-watering shades, from soft nudes to statement brights. THE AQUA FACTOR? Once applied, it doesn’t run or feather so no need for a lip liner!

[/color-box]

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque, yes guys, It’s a new Bourjois lipstick! Couple of months ago Bourjois introduced their new range of lipstick called Rouge Edition Aqua Laque. If you reading me regularly then you already know I’m a big fan of their Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick(review here…). I got so excited when I heard about Bourjois new lipstick launch 🙂 As soon as they were available in my nearest Watsons I literally ran in to the store.

[wp_ad_camp_4][/wp_ad_camp_4]

Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque

 

Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque comes in a similar packaging with sponge tip applicator like their velvet lipstick but this time the cap is shiny, sort of metallic in finish. The whole packaging is glass like plastic as before with consist 7.7ml of product. Rouge Edition AQUA Laque lipstick has eight variety of shade with nude, pink, red and coral tone.


They named as:

  • 01 Appechissant
  • 02 Rose On The Rocks
  • 03 Brun Croyable
  • 04 Viens Si Tu Roses
  • 05 Red My Lips
  • 06 Feeling Reddy
  • 07 Fuchsia Perchie
  • 08 Babe Idole

Swatches below:

Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque

 

I swatch them in store, the shade ’01 Appechissant’ wasn’t available there.
Now let me come straight to the point. Though Bourjois state them as ‘Lipstick’ but if I simplify them in a category then these Aqua Laque lipsticks are nothing but lipgloss with good color payoff. Their texture is quite sheer, thin, lightweight and not sticky at all. They all are very shiny, not that sparkly cheap kind of shine but looks like the shine we see in water. They all are nicely pigmented however only reds and pinks stains on lip a bit but other doesn’t. They smells something sweet and soft unlike painty smell of Bourjois Velvet lipstick which I really like.

I usually do not like or wear lipgloss so I only picked one, 03 Brun Croyable, from the range so that I can actually try how they works.

Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque in shade 03 Brun Croyable is almost a nude shade with red hue. It’s more of a mature nude from the whole range. Once applied the shade tones down a bit. It gives an amazing cooling sensation in lip when applied, doesn’t feel tacky or sticky but feels very lightweight and hydrating. They doesn’t feather or bleed either but stays put all the way. Although Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque claims to give 10 hour of hydradtion but I found they don’t really last long in lip. They are not transfer proof by any means so when you eat or drink they will be gone. Even when I didn’t eat or drink I needed to re-apply within 2 hour. Other than that I absolutely love every fact about this lipstick(maybe I should say lipgloss).

Bottom line? I must say Bourjois again did a very good job providing a high quality lip product within a budget price. However, I would also like to mention that these lipsticks are amazing only if I take them as a lipgloss. I’m quite not agree mentioning them as lipstick. If you are a lipgloss person then you must try them and I bet you’ll love them. When you are a lipstick person and love opaque layer of color for lip then you might get disappointed by Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque lipstick. Keep this fact on mind before buying Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque lipstick.

 

…So, have you tried any Bourjois Rouge Edition AQUA Laque lipsticks? I would love to know your thoughts on them. Do share your opinion in the comment box below 🙂

Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel 32 Shadow Palette | Review & Swatch

Hie There,
I’m pretty sure you already know about the British Brand ‘Makeup Revolution’! They are already renowned with their budget friendly high quality product. They have almost every kind of makeup product in their collection with pocket friendly price range.

Today I’ll be reviewing one of their 32 shadow palette called ‘Eyes Like Angel’.

Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel PaletteMakeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel Palette[wp_ad_camp_2][/wp_ad_camp_2]

Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel Palette


Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel Palette is standard shiny black in packaging and comes with 32 different shades of eyeshadow. The palette holds in total 16g of product. Every shadow has a name but its sad that they comes printed in a plastic paper which you’ll eventually end up loosing sooner or later. Shadow pans it has are not big like MAC shadow pans but not that small like Costal Scents palettes. I can say, the pans are quite decent in size so the palette itself if quite bit, couple of inch bigger than my palm. There is also a big mirror inside with the cover which I love 🙂

Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel PaletteMakeup Revolution EyesLikeAngel6

Great thing about this palette is it has every variety of shade and texture, neutrals to intense bright colors, warm to cool tones and sparkly to pearly shades yet I really miss a true black shade here. Most shadow here has sparkly to metallic to pearly satin in texture and there is no true matte shade. People says there is matte shades but I found even the matte-est one here has kinda sheen in it, this can be a disappointment for matte shadow lovers. Almost all the shadows here are amazingly pigmented and has extra ordinary lasting power without even any shadow primer. Some of the lighter colors tend to be powdery and creates fallout but they are only 4 or 5 in number. I absolutely love all the metallic shades. Some of the shade also has kinda duo tone in it which makes those color so unique.

I was literally amazed by Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel Palette when first time I swatched some of color. You can definitely see from the picture above, don’t you? I mean, how pigmented they are! Unlike other budget brand shadow these feels almost creamy when touched and so they sticks to skin without any effort and gives nice opacity. They are also easy to blend because they are very smooth, even the metallic one doesn’t consist ant chunky particle.

Overall, I absolutely love Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel Palette and very much satisfied with its quality. If you are an eyeshadow-holic then this palette is a must have for you and for them aswell who is looking for a budget friendly shadow palette.

iherb Haul | Shopping Experience

iherb Haul | Shopping Experience
  • Real Techniques Expert Face Brush – $8.99
  • Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge – $5.99
  • ELF Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow – $3

A couple of weeks ago my products from iherb arrived finally after five weeks of placing an order. So, thought I should share my shopping experience with you guys. Some drugstore essential brands like Real Techniques, ELF Cosmetics, Physician Formula, Eco tools etc are not available in Malaysia but in some cases, you need to have them in your life. There are some other facts about Real Techniques products are actually available at one store called ‘Shins’ but they are overly priced there. There is another online shop, Luxola [which doesn’t exist anymore] who keeps Real Techniques and Eco Tools product, but they always seem to be out of stock. So there is no other way but find a place to shop online.

 

I badly needed to replace my Real Techniques Sponge(read my review here…) and my searching took me to iherb. It’s a USA based shopping site. The great part about iherb.com is so many drugstore beauty brands are available there. You can see from the picture above what I bought. All those products were priced at their original USA store price. The site offers international shipping with few different option like normal international shipping and DHL express shipping. Normal shipping was $4 and DHL shipping costs $14. I made my first purchase with iherb without thinking anything and took the normal shipping.

Iherb haul

 

Normally whenever I made an international purchase I do always choose normal shipping. In my experience, it always took not more than two weeks to get the product in hand. Therefore, I was carefree about iherb shipping as well. Then that disappointing part happened. When after four weeks I didn’t get delivery or any news about my purchase I literally got worried. I contacted iherb customer service. They replied me saying they can not do anything because I choose normal delivery, even if my parcel gets lost they are unable to do anything. They gave me no option but waiting. Well, it was upsetting. Then I started searching other blogs to know about others experience but couldn’t find a single blog saying that they experienced the delay on delivery.

However, when I got totally hopeless then just at the end of the fifth week my product finally arrived. Phew…! What to say, should I blame myself for choosing the cheaper shipping option?

 

End of everything, I got happy to see my purchased product were nice and intact. This first time shopping experience with iherb wasn’t really nice of course but next time I have to pay a bit more and choose DHL shipping that’s for sure. I’m saying next time because I’m an international shopper, what I want isn’t always available in my local store and the product variety and pricing iherb offers I can’t really deny that.

Overall, iherb is not a bad place to shop but if you placing an international order then you might want to choose their DHL shipping option to avoid an extra headache. I really hope this post will help someone 🙂

By the way, have you shopped from iherb? if yes then I would love to know your experience.

If you are a newbie and thinking to make your first purchase at iherb.com then I have DISCOUNT CODE for you 🙂 You can get 10% off of your total, just use the ‘DKB278‘ on checkout.
Another best thing about iherb is, with every purchase you gain a credit of 5% of your order amount that you can use on your next purchase.

Beauty Favourites Of The Month | March’15

Beauty Favourites Of The Month | March’15

Hello Everyone!

As March is at its end its time to share my beauty favourites from the month, those all beauty products that Ive been loving specially in this month. Though in this month it was tough to shortlist them but finally I ended up picking six beauty product as my ultimate pick of march.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]



Lets start talking about them…
Beauty favourites


Organix Fortifying Lavender Soymilk Shampoo(40RM):
If you are reading me regularly then you know since I’m here in Malaysia I’ve been struggling keeping my scalp oil free until I started using this shampoo. Organix Fortifying Lavender Soymilk Shampoo just blown me off with its goodness from first use. My hair never felt so good and squeaky clean before. It smells so fresh and its gel like texture gets into every hair strand without any effort. It makes my hair completely frizz and oil free, restores amazing healthy shine every time I was my hair using this shampoo. I’m already in my second bottle and I’m sure its gonna be a repurchase over and over.


Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mousse Cleanser(30RM):
Last couple of month my skin was acting very unusual. I was having sensitivity issue, rashes and acne. I couldn’t use my regular OXY Pure White Facewash(read here…) anymore, I had to find something that is mild and kind to skin. I got happy from the first use of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mousse Cleanser. Its a gel based cleanser but when you dispense the product out it comes as foam. The product is really mild and hydrating to skin as well as cleanse nicely. If you have sensitive skin issue I definitely recommend this yet if you have normal skin then this cleanser might be a bit too mild for you.

[wp_ad_camp_4][/wp_ad_camp_4]

Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser(20RM):
A budget moisturiser packed with all that goodness you need. I can’t explain how much I have been enjoying this moisturiser. Its so refreshing, hydrating, non-greasy and of course kind to skin as it claims. I think this is a very much suitable moisturiser for every skin type.


Soap&Glory Hand Food:
Who doesn’t love to have soft and moist hand? And for that a hand cream is must. This month I have been loving Soap&Glory hand cream for my hands. Its has that buttery smooth texture and soothing smell, works excellent on keeping hand plumped. Apology that I forgot the price.


Catrice Eebrow Set(18RM):
This brow kit comes with two shaded of brow powder, a small spoolie brush and a tweezer. I loved it more for the shades it contains, a deeper and a lighter brown that is not red-ish but perfect for brows.

[wp_ad_camp_5][/wp_ad_camp_5]

Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara(95RM):
I have been madly loving this mascara ever since I was introduced. In my experience, no mascara has given this kind of lash lift that it gives. Im literally forgetting my lash curler these days. Click (here… and here…) to read full review on Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara.



So, those are a few of my favourite products from the month of march. If you want to know a little more details of any then let me know. Also get involved in the comment box below and let me know what you have been enjoying in March 🙂

Bath And Body Works | Small Haul

Bath And Body Works | Small Haul

Whenever I go near Bath And Body Works I have to go inside and roam around for a while only because their store smells divine. It’s not always I purchase something, but I love that shop. Bath And Body Works is fairly new here in Malaysia and I was so happy when they opened a new store (The Curve) close to my home. But again I only find myself getting hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works because they are quite overpriced here in Malaysia than the USA. Yes, they always have some deals like one sanitizer for 9RM and five for 30RM, one lotion for 29RM but three for 60RM. So if you buying a single product then you gonna have to pay more. Tricky, huh?!

However, a couple of weeks ago I made a small purchase from Bath And Body Works, thought to share that with you all. Obviously getting a new sanitizer was a must as always, I got Aqua Blossom this time. There was an exception this time, I got overly impressed by their sugar hand scrub (review here) while I was trying it in store. This True Blue Spa sugar scrub smells just like candy and gives that luxurious spa feeling to hand. I simply couldn’t resist getting one after trying it. This scrub retails at 58RM, pricey for a 5oz product but totally worth it in my opinion. I have been using and loving the scrub ever science I got it. Soon I’ll post a detailed review on it 🙂

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]


Some of their product price you might be interested about:

  • Body Lotion RM29 – RM 55
  • Body wash and Foam RM 29 – RM55
  • Bath Soak RM75
  • Bath & Massage Oil RM62
  • Body Bar RM30
  • Body mist RM 29 – 62
