Review: Guerlain Meteorites Perles du Paradis – “Honey, I Blew Up The Balls”

As many Guerlain Meteorites Perles users would said “no more balls”, I said the same too. I told myself I’ll not get anymore but seems like I was lying to myself. Are you kidding me? The Guerlain Meteorites Perles du Paradis from Spring Color collection 2013 is so hard to resist!

Say hello to my precious – Guerlain Meteorites Perles du Paradis. Even the name is also glamorous. Wait till I get into details cause you’d be kicking yourself again for giving this a miss.

To be frank, the first thing that draw my soul to Guerlain Meteorites Perles du Paradis was the pastel pink can. And of course that black outlined rosette which is the logo for Meteorites Perles. Such a pretty. I could stare at this whole day.

Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Ronasutra

Review: Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder #03 Natural Buff – I don’t like it, then I love it and I bought a backup!

I notice I always have a love and hate relationship with each of my beauty products. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it. But Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder #03 Natural Buff is a different story. I don’t like it at first, then I found the correct way to use it so I love it and before you know it I bought a backup!

Ronasutra started off with just the mineral foundation and powder. That is also their best seller which made them well-known till to date. If I’m not mistaken it is also the first mineral foundation + powder in powder form made available in the market. How often do you find foundation in powder right?

Ronasutra1
I had the rare opportunity to sit down with Audri Zin; Product and Brand Development Director of Miliyasutra Industries Sdn Bhd about Ronasutra a few months back. It is an eye opening meeting for me as I learnt so much about the history of Ronasutra that not many people get to. Audri is also the R&D person who came up with the formula of the mineral foundation and powder as we know today.

The ingredients in Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder will shock you cause it did to me. Unlike other makeup product in the market that is made from 30-40 ingredients, there is only FIVE ingredients in Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder which is Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Boron Nitride, Yellow Iron Oxide (CI 77491) and Red Iron Oxide (CI 77492). Did you notice there is no talc in it? Talc is known to clog pores and contributed to congested skin which many people develop an allergy from using it. If you are wondering about the clog pores on the face perhaps it’s time to look into the powder that you put on. That’s not all. It is 100% natural mineral that doesn’t contain oil, preservatives, synthetic ingredients, fragrances and dyes.

Make Up - Face Review: Make Up Talika

Review: Immediate Younger and Smoother Skin with Talika Skin Retouch

I have large pores all my life. I was born with it although some people told me that’s nonsense but as far as I can remember I do have large pores since I was young. That’s the fact and not nonsense to me.  This also mean that I have combination to oily skin. I guess you knew that by now :).

Dry skin people will told me they envy that I have oily skin while I’d told them I would prefer a dry skin. Ironic isn’t it? We are constantly hoping for something that are totally the opposite of what we had. As hard it is to remove wrinkle, it is also a challenge to reduce large pores. As we age the skin moves towards the graviti making the pores even larger. So we are constantly in this tug of war.

I stop hunting for pore reducer product because nothing works permanently. Almost all that I’ve tried only managed to reduce the size temporary. So when someone tried to introduce a product that claimed to reduce my pathetic pore size, I’d just give them a wink and smile. I mean mine are one tough case. That’s like impossible!

So what do I do if I can’t reduce my pore size? Well, I reach for a product that can give me an illusion that my pores are diminished. Talika Skin Retouch do just that.

Talika Skin Retouch is one powerful small tube. It is said to give a smoothing effect, evens and brighten tone, fills fine lines and of course cover large pores. It is also said that everytime someone tested this on the hand it flew off the shelf. Yes it’s one of the best-seller product for Talika and they have several good reason for it.

Make Up - Face Rachel K Review: Make Up

Brand Introduction + Review: Rachel K Mineral CC Cream Neutral & Original

I still remember when the beauty world was hooked and couldn’t stop talking about BB Cream the short name for Blemish Balm when it was first introduced by the Korean. The BB Cream revolution is pretty much still as hot as it is a few years ago. Then recently the beauty world is once again astonished when CC Cream surfaced. Once again we had all these questions in our head on what it is, who came up with it, what is it for, why CC Cream and many more.

There’s this particular brand that got everyone talking about. When I first found out about Rachel K CC Cream I was so happy that I had the rush to locate the origin and have it ship to Malaysia. I’m glad I was busy at that time because we now have Rachel K in Malaysia! Yay!

Rachek K1
You must be wondering…who exactly is Rachel K? Me too but after reading online I thought you might be interested too. Here is a Rachel K success story.

Rachel Kum’s passion for all things creative and natural has been a lifelong commitment. From an early age, she was entranced by make-up for simply being fun in its ability to change the face with color. Growing up, her love of nature, beauty and especially cosmetics made this a focus of her personal expression. Before winning the Miss Singapore Universe title in 2009, Rachel’s road to her good skin and makeup did not come easy. Her own experience with skin and makeup and working with women whose careers depended on good complexion has allowed her to see how skin image not only threatens careers but can also destroy self confidence.

This has led her to devote two years to researching, testing and refining mineral makeup. As every woman knows good texture, even coverage and comfortable skin interaction are the chief ingredients in identifying a good brand of makeup, Rachel believes she has found the optimal product in her Rachel K cosmetics range.

The accolades come as no surprise as it took 2 years of groundbreaking research and testing in state-of-the-art cosmetic laboratories in USA, Korea and Japan, with a team of leading cosmetologists, dermatologists and make-up artists to produce this highly refined CC cream and its line of supporting products. Testament to its efficacy is the fact that the majority of the buzz around this cream has been generated not through a multi-million dollar campaign, but by word-of-mouth.

Burberry Make Up - Face Review: Make Up

Review: Burberry Beauty Velvet Foundation (Trench No. 201) – A Matte, Long Lasting, Full Coverage Liquid Foundation

How amazing it is to think back that earlier this year I don’t wear any liquid foundation and now I’m so into liquid foundation. It’s the first product I looked at everytime I step into a cosmetic and fragrance department.

Somewhere last month Burberry Beauty Malaysia released a brand new liquid foundation called Velvet Foundation and this time it’s targeted to those who want matte, long lasting and full coverage at the same time. Burberry Beauty Velvet Foundation would be my 2nd liquid foundation that I’ve tried and currently wearing.


The product comes in a tall, thick frosty plastic bottle. I know it looked huge but in fact it’s not that big bottle actually. It fits on my palm comfortably. The packaging quality is at it’s high state maintaining the name of Burberry even on beauty products.

MAC Make Up - Face Review: Make Up

Review: Loving & Hating MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural #Medium

Almost everyone I know own something from MAC. I don’t walk in to MAC previously and I’ve mentioned it in this post before. But my itchy hand just gotta get something from MAC and I came home with 3 new products back in August. I’ve always wanted to purchase their compact powder and here it is!

I was recommended Mineralize Skinfinish Natural #Medium (RM115) instead of Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation as it’s more natural coverage and it’s not cakey.


Let’s talk about the packaging. Nothing to shout about on the typical usual box packaging of MAC.
