MATT ME!!! CHICA Y CHICO MATT FIX CUSHION

Hello ladies... It's been awhile. And I'm back! It's been a really really loong weeks for me and now I spare my whole hours to share to all of you what I have found out. Nah! just relax and stay with me ya alright??!

Few weeks ago, I have received this new Korean cushion product for review purposes. And before I decided to make my first impression and provide feedback, I have tried it for 1 week to see the result and if it can really prove what it promised! So I am so excited to share my review..

I know everyone of you are also looking for a product specially the one that can be part of your daily make-up routine, whether you are heading out to work, shopping, on a date or even on a dinner event, we would like to look stunning and oil-free skin all day/night long. So, at first I did some research and read some useful tips about this product, some mentioned that it is not suitable for dry skin, some of them stated that it did not last long to them. Well... of course, different skin type and different preferences when it comes to beauty products.And when it comes to foundation, cushion, powder etc.. we do want something that will suit our skin tone, skin type and of course the one that can be wear for long hours, without worrying if we do have blotting paper on our pouch or a pressed powder that can take away all those greasiness on our face. We do not want that, don't we??!

So let me introduce the Chica Y Chico Mat Fix

The good thing about this cushion is that, it didn't gave me any white cast on my T-Zone area. And the shade really matches my skin tone after it being oxidize. It cool down the light effect but the glowing effect still remains!

 

 

 

 

Swatch on my hand 

Before blending

After Blending

You may noticed the differences between the two parts of my hand. It is really a matt finished. Like a powdery type finished foundation.

I'm on a shade No. 23

 I do have a medium neutral tone, and this shade is just perfect for me.

If you do have an oily and sensitive skin, this is a product that you may want to try. To be frankly, I didn't used final powder or setting powder every time I used this one. It can last really long, despite of me having an oily and sensitive skin. And the scent is not as strong as like the other cushion.

Overall.. I really do like it, and good thing about this product is that, it is inexpensive compare to other cushion that offers the same quality and effect. 

Where to buy?
This is a sponsor product, and intended for review purposes only. All my review and comments are based on my own impressions and experience. You may check out some online beauty store that carries Korean beauty products such as Althea Korea and Hermo Malaysia.

Of course, I will definitely continue to use it, and I will repurchase it in the future.


Price: RM40+

Pros: Stay long, for oily skin, and no sticky feeling after application.
Cons: No refill included.

Review: CCM Short Handle Flat Top Foundation Brush from Colours Cosmetic Malaysia

You might be familiar with different brushes if you're a makeup lover. Despite of different brands in the cosmetic industry, who don't have a favorite one, right? Whether it’s a high end or a drugstore brand, it doesn't matter as long as we achieve the look that we wanted, a flawless and perfect natural finish look, effortless.

Let’s talk about my new Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush by Colours Cosmetics Malaysia. This Foundation brush is designed for liquid, cream and even powder products. Absolutely a-must-have if you more on liquid foundation, it works perfectly and no more  cakey and unnatural finish look. Trust me... I've been using this Flat Kabuki brush more on lately, even with my pressed powder, forget those sponges/beauty blender and be with my newly fave Foundation brush. 

Let's have a take a look on the brush that I'm talking about ;)

It comes with a brush guard

The measurement is approx. 10cm

If you haven't heard about Colours Cosmetics Malaysia – they are a cosmetic online seller here in Malaysia and they carried many cosmetic products like Sleek Makeup, Milani, Jordana, NYX and many more.. And the brush I am reviewing right now is under their trademark  and exclusively can purchase only from their web store.
It is made from synthetic bristles, cruelty-free and never tested in animals. The ferrule is made from tri- chrome plating (less commonly chromium plating) provides corrosion resistance and can be long lasting.

This CCM Short Handle Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush is can be a dupe for Sigma F80 Kabuki Brush (in my own observation) except for the handle which is a huge exemption because CCM Foundation brush has a short and quite thick handle while the Sigma F80 has a long and quite thin handle. But, for the bristles and its densely packed, it's a win-win! Why spend much money for the high end brand if you can get one in affordable price yet you can get the same quality. Agree?! 

But, of course, everyone has their own preferences of brand when it comes to makeup products, but for me, I am totally satisfied with my new foundation brush. If you're a beginner, this brush might be the one you need because you don't need to have a different brush when you are just a beginner, you should start from a brush that can do multitasking  when applying makeup  (e.g. Blending Brush- can be used for applying your eyeshadow, blending your eye shadow, contouring brow bone and the nose bridge area. While Kabuki Flat Top Brush - can used for foundation (for liquid, cream and powder), contouring, highlighter, blush and setting powder. Don't make yourself confuse for having many brushes that you don't really know what they used for. Be basic and just learnt about it. Overall, I'm really pleased with it. 

One more thing!
Have you experienced that your brush always knocked your mirror while doing your makeup routine because of the long handle? Yeah, that's what happened in my case. It keeps me knocking the mirror every time and it is really annoying. That is the main reason why I bought my CCM Foundation Kabuki brush. Due to its short handle, it solved my problem, just like that! No more bumping my brush in front of the mirror again. That's kind of a relief actually :)

The bristles were so soft, very gentle to use even for sensitive skin, you wouldn't even think that it's a synthetic. 

How I used it
I used my CCM Short Handle Flat Top Kabuki Brush with my drugstore product which is the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in Early Tan. I applied it in circular motion start from my T-zone area towards my cheeks, jaw line and to my forehead. Wait it to settle down and applied my setting powder (ELF HD Powder). It was just so perfect and feels like no foundation at all. Normally when I'm using a Beauty Blender, I get a medium to heavy coverage, while my RT Stippling Brush provides me light coverage. But this Kabuki Brush really just impressed me. I expected to feel a little bit heavy but I felt my skin still can breathe nicely and I don't feel like I have foundation on my face. I just don't know why.

Where to buy
Exclusively can purchase from Colour Cosmetic Malaysia. You can visit their web store here

Price
I bought mine for only RM46.75 (Normal price RM55) You can enjoy a 15% discount if you enter the discount code that can be seen from the bloggers review that provided under the product details. You also can find their useful review and details regarding to this CCM Foundation Brush. Do check them out too:)

Note: Mine never shed at all, even my first time washing. I expect to have at least a few strands of bristles but nothing :) 


Sorry guys, right now I still can't able to make a video tutorial about this Foundation Brush, because of the hectic week schedule.  But I will definitely make one soon. 

Hope you find my review useful and till my next review gorgeous :)

Review: My 1st Luxola Online Shopping Experienced

If you are familiar with Luxola, you also aware that they always have a huge discount and promotions for their beauty products, whether it's only for 1 day sale or even a few hours. Selected items is not included like for Sigma Beauty, Vichy, SkinCeuticals and other brands. 

I got to decide to place my 1st order when I checked that they will going to have a 33% OFF within 24 hrs only, so I grab 3 items which are already on my wish list, but waiting for the right opportunity to bought them and since 33% OFF will really save me a lot, so I decided to order it.

One thing, I noticed about their website is it's looks very simple and nothing unnecessary ads, pop out on their website, as I am very annoying to some website that ads keep from popping out of my window. The process of making a payment is also quite simple, and I do like that I also can get BPoints every time I purchased online, which Luxola did, because they using MOLpay, so having a BCard is a good thing for me.

I placed my order on  24 Sep, and today I received my parcel by afternoon (27 Sep) and since I am very excited to see my items, I quickly open it and I'm satisfied how they wrapped it. The delivery is also impressive because it only takes 3 days to arrive on my doorstep. That's a really fast service because it comes all the way from Singapore and my shipping address is on the other planet! Lol.. I'm from Kedah, almost the Northern part of Peninsular Malaysia so, I guess that was a really fast service. Anyway, Aramex has no any branch here in Kedah. Their Main Office is located in Petaling Jaya, so they had to transfer my parcel from the other local courier which in my case, GDEX.

So let's start to see each item, shall we?

First, My new Real Techniques Blush Brush, I'm glad that I have a new addition to my Real Techniques Makeup Brush Collection. I love how it works on my cream and powder blush.

Real Techniques Blush Brush

I've got few Real Techniques Brushes and I purchased them from iherb, but I decided to bought my Blush brush from Luxola since they had a 33% discount and I can enjoy Free shipping as well..

Secondly, The gentle and non-oily Mario Badescu Eye Makeup Remover Gel. The great thing I do love on this eye makeup remover is it never gives me greasy feeling, unlike other makeup remover. And it works wonder removing my stubborn gel eyeliner and waterproof mascara

Mario Badescu Eye Makeup Remover (non-oily)

For more info and list of their products, you can visit their website here.

Thirdly, this drugstore Sleek MakeUp Blush 

Sleek Makeup Blush (Rose Gold)

Actually, this blush is not my 1st choice since I am planning to order Nars in Orgasm but since it's quite a bit pricey for a blush, I did some YouTube research for drugstore best blush product, and I found it. Most Beauty Youtubers make a review regarding to dupe of Nars Orgasm which is this, the Sleek MakeUp Blush in Rose Gold and it seems they really pretty similar. But not totally alike, as NARS would still be the great choice if I would.

But I am totally happy, that I purchased this, because I can definitely say that it's a great blush, very pigmented and can be used as a highlighter as well, because of its shimmery.

For the 3 items I got, it only cost me RM75.50, that is really cheap for 3 items since shipping fee International is FREE. 

 You can check out Luxola for more info. They currently have promotions and huge discount on selected items. Do check them out~~

Enjoy shopping!

Review: NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray. Stay shine free for long hours

Hi gorgeous ! Okay, today I'm going to write a short review regarding to my drugstore setting spray from NYX, which is the Matte Finish.  I saw this somewhere on YouTube and I heard quite many positive reviews regarding to this drugstore product. So, I've started to intrigue about this and how it is truly true that it can stay my makeup for long hours without being oily, and was it true?

Absolutely ! It really helped me to stay shine free for a couple of hours. It didn't claim that it will give me 12/24 hrs shine free, so obviously I didn't expect that long. As I am very satisfied with the result, Matte Finish and that's all what I want.

So let's take a look at it:-

This setting spray has a two type, for those who loved a dewy finish, there's a great one for you as well.. But since I do love a matte finish, this one is obviously for me :)

If you do have a combination/oily skin, you might try this because it will help to stay your makeup shine free for long hours compared to your makeup with no setting spray. But well, results may vary depending on your skin type. It will hold and lock up your makeup in place and it is a very lightweight spray.. And of course, non sticky/non-greasy.. 

It contains 60ml, and for that it will last for a month, since this one should only be used after your makeup, just 1-2 spray and voila! Welcome to shine free and perfectly matte finish look!

As it claims:

A lightweight, water based setting spray that keeps your makeup looking matte and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G through every kind of weather.

Directions:

Mist face evenly, holding the bottle 10 to 12 inches from the face. Dab away any excess with a tissue

Ingredients:

Water / Aqua / Eau, Alcohol, VP/VA Copolymer, Propylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Niacinamide, Sodium Salicylate, Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract, Mahonia Aquifolium Flower / Leaf / Stem Extract, Phenoxyethanol

Where to buy?

I bought it from Cosmetics Colour Malaysia for only RM36.50. There's a lot of cosmetic/beauty products to choose from there as well.. But, you can check it out at any Sephora Store Nationwide as they carrying this brand too.

Here is the review of one of the Famous Beauty Guru about the NYX Setting Spray. Enjoy watching!

Disclaimer: This product is not sponsored, I bought it myself and my review is based on my own experienced and just want to share this to all pretty ladies.Have a beautiful day gorgeous !

iHerb Haul #2 Purchased Review

Hey everyone, it's been a months sinced my last ordered from iHerb.com (Sorry for late reviewing as I am kinda busy this past few weeks), If you had read my 1st iHerb Review and it's all about Real Techniques brushes well, this should be my 2nd review for my iherb haul. And now, I'm ready to take a great review on each of my favourite items :) If anyone still not familiar with iHerb, it's a place online where you can buy many products that can't be easily find here in Malaysia, or really can't find at all.. They offer different organic products, and cosmetic products as well..

Honestly, I am very satisfied with their service.. Or maybe it's because DHL is really the best choice when it comes to fast shipping service.

Our Sustainable, USDA-Certified Organic Beeswax is sourced from established Bee Farmers who meet our stringent social, environmental and economic requirements.

We purchase our USDA Organic Beeswax from well-established bee farmers, who are often the third or fourth-generation in the trade and have learned from decades of hands-on experience. Their livelihood is dependent on the ethical and humane collection of crude wax and honey. These farmers take pride in providing a high quality, consistent products year after year, without endangering bees or other wildlife.

By constantly monitoring the hives, farmers can make certain the bees are healthy and well fed throughout the year, especially during times of drought or frost. Many of our bee farmers use wooden hives, which are hung from trees, so wild animals cannot disturb them.

In addition, the majority of our bee farmers contribute to ongoing government and university-funded research. This crucial research is intended to develop better ways to handle bees, and keep them safe in their natural habitat.

Organic Beeswax is a naturally sustainable product from Mother Nature. It is up to us to protect bees, so that they will continue to pollinate and produce high quality Organic Beeswax for generations to come.
