My Day Skincare Routine 2015: Simpler, time saving and more effective

I remember last year I wanted to do an updated skincare routine but the amount of product I used was ridiculously a lot so the idea was left hanging. I also remember reviving the idea the next following month and the products was still embarrassingly a lot so the idea was left hanging once again. The beginning of year 2015 is where I simplified everything in my life. I’ve always been a girl who like everything simple (except for my beauty routine) and I thought I should take a step back and cut down on my skincare products. You can say that I’m doing a ‘spring cleaning’ on all complicated things in my life. My skincare routine is the first I revamped.

If you recall, this (click on the link) was my 2012 skincare routine. I know, I know. It’s insane! I’ve no regret with what I used to use because I love the pampering session I put myself into daily. I’m now older and lazier *lol*. I’m going to split my skincare routine for 2015 into two post. This is My Day Skincare Routine 2015.

My Day Skincare Routine 2015
It may seems nothing much but from 11 products to 7 products, it’s a big step for me. Admittedly, sometimes I skip one or two products so that makes it around five products 🙂 . I’ll tell you what product I sneakily skip below.

Estée Lauder Crescent White Full Cycle Brightening: Say goodbye to dull skin and hello brighter even-toned skin!

I’ve been secretly using the full range of the NEW Estée Lauder Crescent White Full Cycle Brightening for months now. I’ve also secretly wean off from using acne mark gel and a few other skin care brand/range to the basic anti-aging and brightening skin care regime. Recently I received lots of compliment that I have good skin although personally I hated the large pores and acne marks. I was told by a BA during a makeover session that good skin to them is all about the skin texture refinement, radiance and healthy skin. According to them, I have plump, bouncy skin, glowing complexion and I don’t have pimples or wrinkles. I was secretly giggling because I was using a brand that is not theirs 😛

Last year I trial CyberWhite HD range and it gave me fantastic result. You can click on this link for the review. This year, Estée Lauder came out with a whole new Crescent White and I get to try the whole range!

Estee Lauder Crescent White
Despite my professed love for CyberWhite HD and how it totally changed my brightening skin care routine, there are many who doesn’t quite like the range as much as I do due to the slippery texture and scent. I personally have no issue with that and I managed to work around it but for those who are not happy with those issues, well good news! Estée Lauder heard you and your feedback because I find that this new Crescent White is the improvised formulation of CyberWhite HD, if not better. Whatever you complaint before are rectified through this Crescent White range.

Estée Lauder Little Black Primer™: Turning zero lashes to hero lashes, converting non-waterproof mascara to waterproof mascara

I totally missed out the part where this Little Black Primer™ will only be launch in February 2015 that I nearly scheduled it up for December 2014. Thank goodness I was referring to the press release while composing. That explains why I have to push this review to February. So sad that I’ve come to the last instalment of Estée Lauder week product review 🙁 . If you’ve missed the first two reviews, click here for the first review and click here for the second review 😀

Among the three Estée Lauder product I received over a month ago, the first one I started using the next morning is the Estée Lauder Little Black Primer. I was actually most excited with this one here because I don’t need to photograph it before using AND I have sad, droopy lashes.

Now, the Estée Lauder Little Black Primer™ is a 3-1-1 lash primer. No it does not contribute growth to the lashes as this is a makeup product BUT that doesn’t make it any less interesting. What this product really is that it is (1) a lash tint for ‘barely visible’ lashes, (2) a pre-mascara primer that hold curl, gives volume and length and (3) a post-mascara primer that sealed the mascara and gives it a waterproof coating. Tell me that is not intriguing. I’ve never heard, seen or used anything like this before.

Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Color Palette #Fierce Safari: Back to the jungle as Jane

Hello again! I hope you enjoyed the first Estée Lauder week product review that I posted two days ago, which is the Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance™ Compact Makeup. You’re here because you like what you read and you want more. Good to know because things have just gotten more interesting.

For the second Estée Lauder week product review, let’s talk about eye makeup. Let’s all go oohhsss and aahhhss on Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Color Palette #Fierce Safari. It’s the most gorgeous shimmery gold and moss green eyeshadow I’ve ever seen.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Color Palette Fierce Safari
Interestingly, the Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eyeshadow 5-Color Palette was designed to complement the Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick that was launched just a few months ago. Not sure if you notice or not, Estée Lauder ventured into a modern and sophisticated look for Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick casing design. It is definitely something new and different for the company. Now, once again Estée Lauder goes into the same design direction and came out with this new compact design for the complementing eyeshadow palette. It defines modern, sleek, simple and elegant. The gold lining on the side defines powerful but yet the overall casing still maintain it’s feminine. Navy is also Estée Lauder’s corporate color so you will see everything of the brand in navy color, including this palette. The case is made of navy mirrored compact with Estée Lauder embossed logo on the bottom middle of the casing. This reflects the signature color cues of the brand. The new casing design also feature an innovative, magnetic closure. I absolutely love anything that are with magnetic closure and so there will be no more wrestling with the palette 😀

Estée Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance™ Compact Makeup: A compact foundation that doubles up as concealer. Makeup done in a jiffy!

This week will be all about Estée Lauder and nothing but Estée Lauder only 🙂 . I received three makeup products a month ago and I haven’t got the chance in photographing and reviewing them until last week. Yeap. Work had taken the free time I had and so I have to draft out a whole week content on Sunday alone. It’s crazy because I get distracted with catching up all the YouTube videos that I missed.

I’m going to start off Estée Lauder week with base makeup. I can’t tell you how excited I am with this Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup. My current craze is cream compact foundation so this one was spot on.

Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup
Estée Lauder introduced two Futurist Aqua Brilliance base makeup in October 2014. One is a liquid foundation (Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++) while the other one is a cream compact foundation (Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup SPF 20/PA++). It’s a brilliant idea to have the same product in two different medium as each individual do have different preference. I’m okay with liquid most of the time but compact works much faster for me now that I have just half an hour in the morning to do the whole makeup routine.

Top 5 Favourite Perfumes: My pick of the lot and why I love it

One of the question I get a lot is what is my favourite perfume. If you ask me out of the sudden right in front of my face, I would have problem answering you there and then. The reason is I have quite a number of perfume that I rotate on day to day basis so it is inevitably that I have a few personal favourites.

Top 5 Favourite Perfumes 1
There’s a lot happening on my vanity table at the moment but my absolute favourite area is none other than the perfume tray that I bought not long ago. It fits almost all of my perfume with the exception of maybe 2-3 bottles that I don’t reach out at all. This is my Top 5 Favourites Perfumes of all time 😀
