Revlon Colorstay 16 Hours Eye Shadow

Revlon is having sale and my mom took advantages of it, she bought some products and she bought me 4 palettes. I didn't pick the shades but I think my mom did pretty good job on picking the right shades I want. I love neutral eyeshadows, I'm obsessed, if I have to look into my makeup vanity, I only see neutral warm colours, but still, I always think they are not enough. 
Onto the packaging, the packaging is black sturdy and see through on top of packaging so you can see the shades which I prefer on eyeshadow palettes. But it's nothing special though. 
The texture is smooth but not really creamy - a little bit powdery, but the color pigmentation is great. You can create different looks for only one palette and they're pretty neutral and warm. From all the 4 palettes I have, my favourite would be addictive and seductive.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter Review

So, I probably never tell you about my obsession on lipsticks and lip balms, because my lips is so dry and chapped so I have to put on my lip balm to moisturise it. Then, Revlon has this range that caught my attention. This is amazing you guys, really really AH-MAZING and has solved my dry lip problem *praise*. Revlon described this as "pamper your lip with a gel formula that provides super-charged hydration and glides on buttery smooth." I know you probably think, yo girl how could you not know about it? Where have you been? YES, that's what I thought too. So, as the packaging goes very nice and colourful, its made of plastic and on top of the packaging you can see the colour of your lipstick which I find very helpful so you don't have to open the packaging and see the colour.  This range has 21 different colours and I got 6 of them. The product itself is very smooth and glide very nicely on lips like butter. I find some of the colour are more pigmented than others (I would say the bright ones are more pigmented), these give glossy coverage to my lips and also these hydrate my lips and I can feel my lips plumped and comfortable. These lipsticks have vanilla scent when I sniff it from the tube but when I apply these to my lips I don't smell the scent but anyway I never have issue with lipstick that has scent to it.
The lipsticks that I own are:
- Candy Apple : orange toned dark red (fave)
- Macaroons : slightly peach medium pink
- Peach Parfait : pale peachy pink 
- Raspberry Pie : dark purple with deep cool toned pink
- Cherry Tart : blue toned red 
- Tutti Frutti : bright orange
So now, I have to tell you, this is my favourite everyday lipsticks, because it's very hydrating and give nice healthy tint to my lips. This would be my holy grail product and the good thing is these lipsticks are not expensive at all, very budget-friendly which I prefer. Have you tried this? Definitely recommend you, and if you already tried, which colour should I get? Any recommendation?

I ordered the  Acne  or Oily Sensitive  Skin Regimen, Citrus Cream  Moisturizer, Ultra Light  Skin Brightener , Organic Cream Eye Treatment, SONICLEAR antimicrobial, and also a replacement brush to  replace my  soniclear brush. I also got a sample pack of the new products. I will give you my thoughts about these products I bought and give you the result after a month using these. Stay tuned :)

Sleek Makeup in Bad Girl

I've been obsessed with Sleek Makeup, so far pretty impressed with their products. So today I will give you my thoughts about this Sleek I-Divine Bad Girl Palette. Well, these colours are out of my alley, I never wear blue eyeshadows on my eyes but I saw Shaanxo used this palette and she created a beautiful eyes so I decided to buy and play with this. 
The packaging is very sturdy and sleek, but it can be dirty easily which sometimes bother me a bit but it's okay. This palette contains deep colours. When you open the palette you will get a  brush and huge mirror which very convenient for travel. I love the idea that they put name on each shadow, and the names are really cute.

The shadows are very smooth and pigmented, you just need a light hand to achieve the look you want. Most of the shadows are glittery and I think you only get 2 matte shadows. This palette is very nice to create a deep smokey look but you can also create a natural daytime look. These shadows are not long lasting so you have to put your primer on first before putting this shadow. I bought this palette on Luxola for Rp198.000,00-ish I forgot the exact price but this is very pigmented and worth to try.
Left to Right: Innocence, Gullible, Blade, Gun Metal, Underground, Noir,
Intoxicated, Envy, Obnoxious, Abyss, Twilight, Rebel.
I created this look on my sister with this palette :)

Coastal Scent Creative Me #2

I had this palette for a while and thought maybe should review this for you. This is the first palette I bought with my own money, and since then I decided to build a mini makeup collection for my own. Coastal Scents is a good brand to start building up your collection and for beginners. I bought their blusher palette, their 22 brushes also the camo quad in medium (concealer). Then I bought this palette, the packaging is nice and sturdy. It has "creative me #2" on the packaging. This palette has 12 shadows which is great for creating multiple looks. The pigmentations are great and the texture is smooth and soft. I love how it has different colours not only neutral but also fun colours such as pink, orange, and yellow. What I don't like is that it doesn't have a matte black shade, so I have to open other palette to reach out the black shade. The colours are not chocky and they're glittery, i think most of them are glitter shadows. These shades don't have name, which I don't like. Because I like to have my shades with the name on it. But, so far this is a great palette.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Creme Eyeshadows Review

It took me for ages to finally try this Maybelline Color Tattoo Creme Eyeshadows, because it is finally here in my local store. I've swatched all the colors they offered and fell in love with them. In Indonesia they only offer 5 to 6 different shades I think, haha I forgot. I chose some neutral ones. Enough rambling now into the products. The three shades I bought are 'Tough as Taupe' (35) which is a deep matte taupe, 'Bad to the Bronze' (25) a warm golden bronze and 'Bold Gold' (45) a shimmery medium dark gold. They claimed to be creaseless, and lost lasting for 24 hours. The texture itself is very creamy and smooth and has a great color payoff. These eyeshadows also dry very quickly so you have to work on one eyes at a time. These eyeshadows are hard to clean up. I've wiped them off my hands and they left stains on my hand, which is great because you need a long wearing eyeshadows to put on especially to us who are woeking from day to night. Some people compare these to benefit creaseless eyeshadows also with MAC paintpots, I didnt own any of those products mentioned. I mean why should I buy something expensive if I can get the similar product with a budget friendly? 
And oh, the packaging, it's in heavy glass with a screw-on black lid, well I don't really care about the packaging though, I dont mind carrying these in my makeup bag. From all the shades I bought, Bad to the Bronze is my favorite shade eveeeeeer.

Sugarpot Review

Holiday is already here, and I love to go to beaches, wearing really short pants or bikinis. I was thinking about waxing my body because I want it to look soft and smooth, but I didn't want to go to salon because we all know, it's expensive. I bought a sugarpot waxing gel from sugarpot, I saw the hyped and people talked about it so I decided to try, but you know, I bought 4 variant of them (girl's problem, right?). I bought Matcha sugar gel (green jar), Chocolate sugar gel (chocolate jar), Milky Strawberry (red jar), and finally Original Honey (yellow jar). It shipped really fast (only took 4 days). The packaging is a white plastic jar, nothing special. I didn't buy the kit per jar, I only bought 2 kits (Matcha and Original Honey) and the other jars I bought are not kits, because I didn't need gazilion strips and spatulas, because I'm the only one who's gonna using it anyway. A kit contains a 250gr sugar gel in a jar (any flavour you chose), 2 spatula and 12 strips (very generous of them).

I've tried the Original Honey one and I smelled really good (but I had to give it to my cousin because she wanted to try but too scared to buy one), and now I use the chocolate one. And peeps, if you are a chocolate lover like me, you will love this too. I smells amaze-balls and tastes gooood (sorry I wasn't meant to lick it but I did it anyway!). I tried it on my legs and BAM, my legs are soft and smooth and buh-bye hairy  legs. (Pssttt, they say on the website you can use it on your bikini line too, which is awesome eeeeepp!)

Each flavour claims so many benefits for your skin, you might want to see on their website here.

Okay, should I recommend this to you??? DEFINITELY YES, seriously you will not going back to salon again if you give yourself a try. Will I repurchase this? Yep!!
Hope this will help you changing your mind and buying this.
