I'm already a happy L'EGERE BB Cream user even before the travel-size tubes (10g each) were sent to me for review. As for the retail-size tubes shown in the photo, I bought 'em at John Little.

***Product info above is extracted from the press release.***

It was rather disturbing when I had my first acquaintance with L'egere White Multi BB Cream. Like most BB Creams in the market, it comes in only one shade. And, this shade looks way too dark for my skin tone... the orange undertones... =.=

I was literally amazed when I start spreading the Multi White on my skin. The dark orangey shade instantly transforms into a medium beige shade with pink undertones. It's close to my skin color albeit a tad lighter. Leaves a slight sheen on the skin.

It has a light creamy consistency which feels a lil' sticky initially. I find it easy to blend, using fingers (as usual).

L'egere Water Drop Shiny Pearl has a light liquidy texture. It feels more lightweight as compared to Multi White. The shade is beige with slight grey undertones, a lil' darker than my skin tone.

I like how it goes on very smoothly on the skin, with a hint of cooling sensation upon application. Like Kameria Water Drop Super Moisturethere are water droplets formed when spreaded on the skin. That leaves a moisturized feel on my skin. When blended out, the 3D pearl shining particles illuminates the skin well without looking too shimmery. It reminds me of Skin79 Crystal Pearl BB Cream, with slightly better coverage. Like Skin79 Crystal Pearl BB Cream, it is excellent as a highlighter to complement my regular makeup.

They have the same faint citrusy scent, I like!

Both provide sheer to medium coverage, with White Multi being slightly better. They do not conceal imperfections like dark circles completely, hence the need for a separate concealer. Overall, they do help even out my skin tone pretty well -- giving a semi dewy finish. And, I like that they feel lightweight on the skin especially Water Drop Shiny Pearl.

In terms of oil-control, I would say Water Drop Shiny Pearl does a better job. For Multi White, I do see the need of blotting with tissue after just 2 hours or so. Nevertheless, a good mattifying powder will do the job of keeping the oilies at bay -- think Maybelline Dream Matte Powder. Ahh... I can never stop raving about this awesome possum HG product!

All in all, I enjoy using these L'egere BB Creams especially on days when I don't feel like piling on too much makeup. They are like my second skin, but definitely much-much better.

Okay, that's all. Hope the reviews help (:

LOTD: Emerald-Green-Play

It was a random look I did on a random night. I guess I was feeling kinda bored... So yea...

To even out my complexion, I use Ludifull Magic Cover BB Cream and L'egere Mineral Makeup Finishing Powder (to set).

The main greens are:- Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream #22 Emerald Green MAC Liquidlast Liner in Greenplay. The very intense-looking black is Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner #1 Black Ink. It literally looks like black ink, no?

I draw the usual wing-ed out look with Emerald Green, using a liner brush. Then, I layer on Greenplay. I line Black Ink as close to the lashline as possible. Cyber Colors Ex Volume Waterproof Mascara in Black for lush looking lashes. The black is so intense, I like! Mitchy matchy with Black Ink :D

*Note: Products highlighted are provided by beauty company for review purpose.

On a side note, Feb is ending in a blink of an eye. Looking forward to March (:

The Random Post

The random post(s) are here to stay. Or so I thought. Blogging about non-beauty related stuff... and what's coming next for beauty-related posts (product mentions/reviews/events).

Some time ago, I found this beauty lying on the wet bathroom floor. For a moment, I thought it was dead. And luckily, I did the right thing by picking it up gently by its wings instead of washing it away. It was very much alive!

It didn't fly away, even when I touched it several times. Gave me ample time to get my camera to capture these shots.

"LOVE 爱" movie is one of the "now showing" movies in the cinemas. It's been a long time since I last saw Ethan Ruan on-screen. To be honest, I was quite "disturbed" by his current hair-style... *SAD* Mark Chao certainly looks better in the movie poster.

Anyone watch "LOVE 爱" yet?

These simple-decorated buttercream cakes spell - nostalgia... I used to dislike the taste of the saltish buttercream when I was young. Now, I obviously don't :d~

Pontian Wanton Mee... and my must-order kopi!

More Instagram-ed pics of food... & kopi (lol)

My bro bought the Olympus Tough (shockproof/waterproof) for ~$300. Takes pretty good pics, judging from the ones he took during his KL trip. He also bought an oven toaster (Tefal) :D

Watched "This Means War" with my sis. Thanks F*** Magazine for the premiere tix and mouse pad! We were laughing along with everyone else in the movie theatre throughout the show. Not as action-packed as I thought. Overall, it was a pretty watchable movie. By the way, Chris Pine Tom Hardy look so much better in the movie as compared to the poster. Hmm... Reese Witherspoon was the opposite though.

My 1st time trying Share Tea... I still prefer Gong Cha! Very addicted to GC Oolong Milk Tea (House Special)

To end off this random post, I received a goodie package (CandyDoll/Kameria/L'egere) last week (Thanks!). Will be featuring them in the upcoming posts.

My favorite $2 hauls from Nanairo - eyebrow mascara, black glitter eyeliner, mosaic blush. Best buys ever. These are also sold at Guardian Pharmacy/John Little at least $8, some >$10. What a rip-off!

Oh, another best buy from Watsons. Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream UV 50% off = $10.95 *HAPPY MAX* I've been wanting to try this for the longest time!

Ok, that's all. Have a great weekend! (:

Too Faced Naked Eye Palette: The Fashion Look

Here I am, with the next instalment of Too Faced Naked Eye (Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection) LOTD series - The Fashion Look. Hmm... I should really do a colorful look next...

To rock The Fashion Look, one must have Pink Cheeks and do a Lap Dance wearing Stiletto.

"Jokes" aside, I followed the step-by-step instruction card accordingly (as usual).

  • Sweep Pink Cheeks from crease to brow.
  • Blend Lap Dance into crease and onto lid.
  • Apply Stiletto to upper lash line and extend outward, then blend into lower lashline.

 

I really like all the colors used for this look, especially Lap Dance (a pretty shimmery taupe with a hint of purple). To line and define the eyes, I apply Stiletto (a soft matte black) using a pencil brush. Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil Hard 9 Brown 03 as usual, for soft-looking brows. Sana Gafixx Matsuge Gatch-ly Mascara to amp up my lashes.

MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick is a soft rosy red on me, which I absolutely adore. I like the lustre finish, which the color intensity can be build up according to one's preference. Love how it brightens up the whole look effortlessly.

As for my face, I use Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation 51 Light Vanilla & set with L'egere Mineral Makeup Finishing Powder. I kinda like the combi result, a nice dewy finish. I barely notice any flaws on me... all covered up! On my cheeks, is a light swirl of Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact 10 Sweet Biscuit.

Okay, that's all. Thanks for looking! (:
