CATRICE Absolute Rose Eyeshadow Palette: A hit and miss budget-friendly rose-nude palette

CATRICE is my most favourite drugstore brand. Most of the products are below RM20 and some are not even over RM30. When it’s on sale at Guardian, everything is from less than RM10 to less than RM20. Super affordable and good.

A few months ago, CATRICE brought in a few new Absolute eyeshadow palette namely Absolute Rose, Absolute Bright, and Absolute Matt (this one I’m not sure). Within the Absolute family, I am more attracted to the rose-nude shades of Absolute Rose as it reminds me of Urban Decay Naked 3 😀 . I have been tracking Absolute Rose palette down for a while and later on spotted them on 30% discount a month ago at Guardian KLCC.

Catrice Absolute Rose Eyeshadow Palette
The palette is originally priced at RM26.90. Even without discount, it is still a pretty decent and affordable eyeshadow palette to get. I wouldn’t worry if I’m you. CATRICE products are constantly on sale, either 15% OFF or 30% OFF (sometimes) so don’t worry if you’d miss out the sale. I just happened to bumped into some crazy sale happening at Guardian where all cosmetics are on 30% discount. In the end, I only paid RM18.85 for this. Score!

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque: It’s really not what you expected

By now you’ve already heard about the hype, knew what was the hype and you might be one of the lucky 200 users to be a part of the hype. That’s right. Bourjois Malaysia did something that blew my mind completely. This well-known French cosmetic brand decided to give away 200 units of the new Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque to 200 lucky fans who submitted their details through Bourjois Malaysia Facebook page in conjunction with the new release.

It’s not hard to gauge what exactly is Rouge Edition Aqua Laque. It comes in a short dainty tube just like it’s sister, Rouge Edition Velvet, which is my most used lip product at the moment due to it’s long lasting. When ‘laque’ is added to the name, one would automatically expect something that is high shine or glossy. Just take a look at the shiny top cap. Okay, I’m not going to mess up your mind further. This Rouge Edition Aqua Laque is a hybrid lip product of lip gloss and lipstick 🙂

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque
The care package that I received contain a set of three carefully selected Rouge Edition Aqua Laque. There is 02 Rosé On The Rocks, which is a rose nude shade, 04 Viens Si Tu Roses, which is a raspberry shade and 06 Feeling Reddy, which is a bright peachy red shade. Overall, I got three different shades from three different shade category with three different intensity. Ain’t that thoughtful? 😉

L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer #Natural: My current favourite under eye concealer

I’ve seen it, I’ve heard about it, I’ve read about it and now I’ve gotten my hands on it. The L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer is the rave recently in the beauty world. Everyone is talking about it. The more I see it, the more I want it. The catch is that it’s not available in Malaysia or at any online store that ship to Malaysia. There are a lot of pre-order spree on Instagram but you know me, I have zero patience for spree. I happen to stumble upon a seller on Instagram that coincidentally had just received her spree parcel and she have a few extra for ready stock.

L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer
The Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer is often said to be the exact dupe of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, while this L.A. Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer is claimed by many to be the dupe of MAC Pro Long Wear. Now, I have yet to try the MAC one so I can’t tell you if this L.A. Girl concealer is really the dupe but according to Makeupalley.com, some girls said it’s not. However I find that the bad reviews in Makeupalley is the total opposite of my experience so I’m going to help to clear the air as a first time user of a product that was flown in from another country and tumbling in the box for hours.

Bourjois Smoky Stories 06 Upside Brown: Now everyone can be a makeup artist!

Have you watch all the Bourjois Smoky Stories Quad Eyeshadow Palette series on Bourjois YouTube channel? I have and I was sold the minute I watch the first video. One particular palette that I fell deep in love is the 06 Upside Brown. Bourjois Malaysia kindly gave me a palette to try but the shade that I got was different. Sneaky me requested for a change because I knew 06 Upside Brown would suit my daily makeup style than other colors.

Bourjois Smoky Series 06 Upside Brown
Now. What’s so special about this new quad palette if you may ask? It’s an eyeshadow palette with pre-coordinate shades. What that means is Bourjois think hard and long to put together all 4-shades in each palette so that each of us can channel out the makeup artist in us with the help of this palette 😀

Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder: Gives me amazing matte finishing all day everyday

Powder is my all-time addiction. For the past 10 years, I’ve been living on just powder foundation and it has been working out well for me. I may have pick up the habit of using liquid foundation these days but I still set my foundation with a powder. Till this day I still have the tendency to keep buying and buying without realizing I have too much at home and I needed to stop pilling up the stock. Whenever a brand came out with a new collection, powder is the first item I would check out. So when Bourjois Malaysia’s been posting up about their new Silk Edition Compact Powder, the name ‘silk’ alone is already enough to intrigued me. Introducing Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder, as soft and as fine as silk, as melting as a cream. This is the powder to have if you want convenient, coverage, long lasting and all-day oil control. That’s right. ALL-DAY OIL CONTROL.

Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder
First thing first, the unique 360º rotating mirror. How interesting can it gets? I’m easily distracted with anything that is cool and new as this. When I first got it I couldn’t stop playing with it. It makes a great handbag mirror as the mirror stands up well and easily rotated to any direction that I want.

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray: Yay or nay?

I have never been lucky with makeup setting spray (read here and here), what more a matte finish long lasting setting spray. It is quite hard to find NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray at Sephora as it is always sold out. You know what people say, when it’s hard to find, you would want it badly. When I finally managed to track it down, I bought it in a split second. I figure what have I got to lose since it is cheaper and it was the Sephora Black Card member private sale.

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray
There are two variant of makeup setting spray within NYX. One is this Matte Finish (or Matte Shine-Free Finish according to NYX website) while the other one is Dewy Finish (or Dewy Glow Finish). I can be quite an oil slick by mid day so Dewy Finish is a definite no-no for me. I remember Shaaanxo from YouTube mention before that she love this stuff. If Shaaanxo likes it, I would too. Boo! Wrong thinking 😛
