Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

I always get all excited when I pop into Watsons... especially so when I see new lippies by R-E-V-L-O-N! Those lip stains... lip butters... and now... the NEW Revlon ColorBurst The Crayon Collection!

Revlon ColorBurst The Crayon Collection is available in 2 finishes - Lacquer & Matte. I am only interested in the latter (:

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm [S$19.90 each] comes in 10 colors BUT only 8 made it to Singapore. Why oh why?!

"Velvety Matte Look. Moisture Rich Balm A Matte finish that’s beyond plush. Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 10 collectible, craveable colors." - http://www.revlon.com/

Anyway, I've swatched the colors (missing ones are Elusive & Striking).

As much as I love purple, I don't think I'll be getting Shameless. I'm particularly drawn to Mischievous & Audacious... planning to get either one. 

Just a short beauty post for now. Hope you like the swatches (:

Revlon ColorStay™ Pressed Powder SoftFlex™ in 820 Light

I've been looking for a pressed powder similar to that of my HG Maybelline Dream Matte. Within my existing stash, I managed to dug out Revlon ColorStay™ Pressed Powder SoftFlex™ in 820 Light. I think I got it at $14.90 (promotional price) at Watsons sometime back.

What it does

Glides on weightlessly to minimize shine for a fresh, naturally flawless look that won't fade off.

How it works

  • Exclusive ColorStay™ formula with micro-milled powder creates an ultra-fine finish that wears for 16 hours over makeup.
  • SoftFlex™ technology provides a lightweight, comfortable feel all day.

 

I like that it comes in this sleek and chic black powder compact case, with an embedded full mirror. The powder puff comes in handy, which is so much better than Maybelline's.

Note: It now comes in a new bulkier compact, with a half-mirror. Seems like most dislike this new design :X

ingredient list

This shade 820 Light, matches my skin tone (NC/NW20) pretty well.

As you can see, the powder is silky (very finely milled), which doesn't have much coverage. The barely-there coverage is fine with me, since I don't use it alone -- I use it to set liquid foundation/BB cream.

I like that it doesn't clog my pores and keeps my T-zone mattified for almost 8 hours! Pretty impressed though it's not the stated 16 hours. It's definitely on par with Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, which makes it my new HG!

The powder is applied lightly over my recently bought DHC Platinum White Lasting White Liquid Foundation SPF30 PA++ 01. My skin doesn't look powdery or cakey at all. Looks naturally flawless, in my eyes :P

What's NEX(t) ?

Went to NEX (alight at Serangoon MRT station). I thought it would take me an hour to reach BUT in fact, the journey took less than 40mins ! It was damn crowded =.= And, I noticed there's F&B on EVERY level of the mall. The best thing was though we stayed there for around 8hrs, we only managed to comb 1/4 of the mall ! AND, we did spent quite a fair bit. Can't imagine how much will we spend if we comb the entire NEX x: Fun and fruitful trip ! Love spending time with my lovelies ♥

Freshness Burger was our 1st stop. I was damn hungry as this was my 1st meal of the day.

I had "small" lemonade. Umm .. quite a normal but expensive drink. It's $3.80 or $4.20.

My Freshness Burger. The taste was alright, didn't really WOW me over. The bun was different from the usual ones. Kinda sweet. The size reminds me of MOS ones. Mark my words, the price kills.

Salsa Burger.

Omelette Bacon Burger.

We ordered EXTRAS x: BUT the quantity was pathetic. No doubt the onion rings taste pretty good, but I won't order again for that price. Nearly $4 I think.

Nuggets, quite normal. I think nearly $6 I think. We spent more than $10 each, with still space for more food =.=

And, we went off to walk walk, shop shop shortly after Jessie reached. More about the hauling part later (:

Dinner was settled at Ramen Play. Now then I know, Din Tai Fung, Food Republic, Ramen Play, The Icing Room, Toast Box, Breadtalk are "connected". I only knew Toast Box and Breadtalk are "connected". No wonder, Toast Box and The Icing Room are located side by side at Tampines One. Interesting, at least to me hahas xD

Oh, I had the Tonkotsu Ramen. Filling and satisfying much (: It'll be even better if the egg's more runny. The soup base wasn't too salty, the noodles were cooked just right. The pork meat was on the fatty side, BUT I like :d~

Spicky Tonkotsu Ramen. Just a dollar difference for the spicy kick (;

Sanpou Tonkotsu Ramen. Super filling !

EXTRA order to be shared (again) :p RamenPlay Dango (minced chicken balls in takoyaki style). Quite normal to me, prolly b'coz I don't really fancy minced meat balls x:

Healthy hot green tea for us !

Last stop was at Starbucks. The Caramel Macchiato I had, tasted pretty weird.

Now, on to my hauls !

DIVA

"Love" knuckle duster ring from Diva sales for $7. It was love at first sight hahas (X Pretty gold color and I love the font.

I also got myself this dark red diamante bracelet bangle for only $7 ! A steal, since the usual price was $24 :p

Side-track. I didn't get these at NEX. Since I was taking photos of my rings, why not include 'em in this lil' haul entry. Well, I got 'em at Orchard Cineleisure. I love the "dice" ring very much, quite unique IMO. It was the last piece left (;

I couldn't resist getting the "bunny" ring with tiny "bunny" attached. There was this dark gray color one, but I prefer this ivory white one.

 


Chanel Les Tentations de Chanel Holiday 2010 Collectio
n (Limited Edition). I didn't get the entire collection (I wished). I already gotten the Pink Pulsion Levres Scintillantes/Glossimer (yet to be featured). Beautiful sheer fuschia color. It was sold out everywhere, I was lucky that there were still 2 left at Isetan (Parkway Parade). Many thanks to the friendly Chanel girl (MBS outlet) who helped me call, check and reserve (; Well, I did purchase something from her coz I like her service personality.

 

ISETAN

This Tweed Fuschia Blush was sold out everywhere. Since the Chanel counter is new in Isetan (NEX), I was lucky enough to get it ♥ $69, but I paid $65ish, using Jessie's Isetan card. I also got $5 cash voucher (with every $50 purchase).

See the shimmery gold bits ?! I love the tweed effect, the lovely fuschia color with hints of gold and the new brush is unlike the old one which feels harsh on my skin. Too pretty for me to start using, but I'll use it soon :p

 

WATSONS

I got this Kate Gel Eyebrow LB-1 since it was on 20% discount. Usual price was $19. Loving Kate makeup !

Revlon Super Lustrous Creme lipsticks - 463 Sassy Mauve and 473 Mauvy Night. BOGO ! In fact, the promotion was already over and I wasn't aware since the promotion tag was still there :p $17.90 for both.

Canmake Cream Cheek 09, a pretty sweet baby pink with no shimmers at all. The PLUS point is it's limited edition ! $15.90 after $2 discount.

 

SASA

This was what I intended to buy, which meant the rest of the 'em are.. well due to temptations =.= Yeah, new big nail clipper hahas (X $1.65 only.

Sana Pore Putty Face Powder Clear$24.90 before 20% discount, far cheaper alternative. Better ? I can't say that for now.

Sana Natural Resource Loose Powder UV SPF19 PA++. The powder puff was really soft and I like that it's abit shimmery. $39.90 before 20% discount.

 

GIFT

Odbo Collagen Hydra-Mask. Gift from Jessie ♥ Thanks girl !

 

ETUDE HOUSE

We were about to leave NEX but we went in since it was still opened. Bad move eh. I ended up with these. Buy 2 Get 1 FREE.

I set my eyes on this - DearDarlingNails BLINGBLING WH004. Shimmery black with hints of teal. I'm bad at describing colors =.= AND, I thought it's $7.90 but actually, it's $11.90 *faints*. I noticed it only after I reached home. Expensive !!

LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails 06. Shimmery pink with hints of blue.

LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails 05. Shimmery orange-red with hints of gold.

WH709. Looks like cement color x:

BR307. Looks like hot cocoa color :3

WH708. Very pale mud color ? s:

Last but not least, freebie(s) ! We got 2 of this Moistfull Sheet Masks coz I requested for one more x: Very aunty much LOL

That's the end of my somewhat lengthy X'mas Day post (; More to come !

Happy New Year (in advance) to my loved ones, followers, readers and YOU

Newly spotted at Watsons

Watsons, my all-time favorite personal store (though the prices aren't exactly low). It is the perfect place for me to check out the latest beauty drugstore products. And, I always end up with a purchase though I didn't intend to spend money initially =.=

Anyway, I did spotted some new stuff at Watsons recently. Taking photos "sneakily" can be such a headache, seriously.

Did a quick swatch of the new glitter liquid eyeliners. The colors are gorgeous, yes ? The purple & black are more pigmented, while the silver has a more translucent finish. It takes a while to dry, as with normal liquid eyeliners do. Guess the brand (;

Oh Maybelline Hyper Diamond Eyeliners !! Waterproof & smudge-resistant, promising much eh. BUT $17.90 is kinda expensive yea =.=

L'oreal Perfect Clean Cleansers !! I'm using the one for blemish prone skin for now, still got about half left I think. So far so good, loving the useful Scrublet !

L'oreal Youth Code. Check out my reviews on this range here.

Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Cover Powder, comes in 01 Light Beige (Fair normal skin tones), 02 Natural Beige (Asian skin tones) & Clear Powder (All skin tones). I tested the powder and it feels so fine & smooth. I feel so tempted to buy coz it has long lasting oil control (!!), smooths out pores, uneven skin & freckles (!!) and.. it gives a natural finish !! Ahh I'm gonna resist for now.

Canmake Gradation Wink Eyeshadows. 4 shades to choose from. Too subtle for my liking. The color range is kinda boring IMO.

See the lack of pigmentation and chalkiness. Don't like :s

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara, comes in waterproof version as well. It aids in lash growth as well, cool eh. $17.90 is quite reasonable IMO. And I'll definitely get the waterproof one (IF I'm getting :x)

Just a short random blog post. If y'all are keen, I can do regular updates about newly launched beauty brands/products (;
