Told you my next post would be on makeup! So soon too. I'm bored.
I would like to show you what's in my make up case. It is a case as you can see.
By no means is this a comprehensive list. I got bored half way and took photos of related items.
Ok, lets start with foundation:
Yes I've tried lots.
- First is Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. As you can see from the middle top picture, it's unused.
- Next to that is Sally Hansen Fast and Flawless Airbrush Makeup. It's a spray can type. I thought it would be quick and easy but no... you have to spray a patch on your hand, use a wedge to blend in. You can try spraying it straight on your face... if you want to have patches. Very unpredictable spray. Also I found it very hard to get off. It's waterproof so you definately need more than water to get it off. Otherwise, good for summer when you want your make up to stay.
- Moving along, Revlon Skinlights diffusing tint. This is best applied with a foundation brush. It sits on the skin and your skin looks luminous. But very hard to get off too. I think it's oil based. Use it when you want dewy skin.
- Maybelline Express Makeup 3 in 1. They don't make it anymore. Boo! It's quick and easy coverage.
- Finally the discontinued Maybelline Shine Free. Two bottles you ask? I say - they are 2 different colours. The darker one for summer and the lighter one to mix in winter. Except I haven't got that lighter this winter. So they are just sitting there... But definately good coverage. I haven't tried Maybelline's new oil free range. But I think to substitute, I would get Everfresh because it has the same coverage as Shine Free. The new oil free ones look like a tinted moisturiser.
Now my fave foundation!

i.d. bareMinerals!
Found my mineral powder shade at the EveryWoman Expo. It's medium tan and I won one off eBay. Bloody 2g jar is tiny!!! But apparently you don't use alot each time so it will last for a long time as the lady said. So far used it twice when I had to go out at night. I don't really like a foundation feeling on my face at night and glad to say this gives super smooth skin without the foundation feeling. Plus you look so natural. Like you got good skin! Haha. Really easy to get off too. Warm water and a gentle cleanser. Apparently it's so good for your skin you can sleep in it.
Now for the powders:

Initially I bought powder to imitate the mineral foundation. But they felt like you were wearing powder. So now I dust them lightly after liquid foundation, apart from pressed powder.
- First is the L'oreal Translucide loose powder. Sometimes I use this like I would mineral foundation and when I'm in a hurry.
- The middle two are the Revlon Skinlights Illuminator Loose Powder. I don't use this after the Skinlights foundation simply coz it's too bloody glittery. The foundation is already illuminated enough. With this, it would look like you sprinkled glitter on your face. This powder has such a lovely scent and I've worn this on it's own just to give my face a glow if you like.
- At the end you have Maybelline Pressed Powder. For nose and the T-zone when they are a bit red and bits that will definately get oily during the day.
Next are eyeshadow:

Don't wear them all of the time (if hardly), but my fave is the Sportsgirl brown palette. Haven't used the purple shades (the right bottom one).
I totally believe in blush. If anything, I have to wear blush.

My fave... probably the powder ones. The cream/stick/gel formulas I have found hard to apply. Sometimes you get good colour sometimes too dark and not in the right place. Stick to a powdered one with a good blush brush.
The splurges:

Not one but two of The Body Shop loose beads. I think I should've stuck with the lighter coloured ones. Haha. Each cost $30-something I believe.
Something handy to have (although I don't use it often):

Comes with a mirror on the bottom side. I don't even take it out for touch ups. But pretty colour tho!
By the way, I don't take any make up stuff when I go out except a lipbalm and if I remember, lipgloss. I'm not the type to do touch ups in the toilets. Just smudge whatever is out of place and smile! Buahahaha!
As you can tell, I'm getting bored (again!)
Other stuff in my make up case are brushes and all those eyeliners. I am never ever going to buy black eyeliner. They don't work on me. So my eyeliners are brown. Oh and the mascara I use is the Maybelline Great Lash. The one in that pink and green tube. It works for me. Just rmb - eyelash curler!!!! Never leave home without one.
Please leave any sort of comments. Really appreciated. I would like to see what's in your make up case/box/bag. If you post it on your blog, send me the link and I will definately visit it!
Ta!
