So without further ado---
My secret love affair would like to say HI!
Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Silk Two Way Cake Powder in 02 Nude Beige, Vinyl Gloss Mirror Shine Lipgloss in 111 Demure, Rimmel London Glam Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara in 001 Kohl Black, AVON True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Blushed Raisin, Smooth Minerals AVON blusher in Blushed, Smooth Minerals AVON Eyeshadow in Midnight Mauve, IN2it Waterproof Blush Set in 03 Affinity, AVON Ultra Moisture Rich Sheer Lipstick in C02 Sheer Pink, AVON Simply Pretty ColorBliss Lipstick in Fresh Melon, AVON Simply Pretty ColorBliss Lipstick in Mystic Beige.
I first bought all the AVON stuffs back home because it was a while since I last peeped into their store. The pamplets that they gave me were more than enough to paper my bedroom wall! So I went to AVON, knowing that their mineral lines were to come out an I got the blusher and the mineral pigments. So far I haven't used the blusher but I have really wanted to find pigments. I know they could be quite messy at times, believe me I have chucked out about four to five pigment jars from Elianto because as far as they have great colors and I like them a lot, I really couldn't handle the messiness. Furthermore, I'm not really big into eyeshadows so I was really, really picky about them. I wanted for the ones I have to be the ones that I love and would use often with ease. This one from AVON would be less messy as it is safely secured in a tight jar with small opening to dip our brush into the pigments and get it on the eyes without hassle. Midnight Mauve is a deep purple color with a bit of a brown undertone. The blusher looks like a plum color, so I think these two matches.
The other eyeshadows I have is the quad from AVON, which I have wanted for a while now. I haven't tried them properly yet but when playing around, I noticed how smooth and silky they felt on my eyes, not hard at all to blend. The four colors that came in it were neutrals as well and are named, from upper left to lower right, brule-rose nude-raisin-plum. Brule and Rose Nude are matte finished whereas Raisin and Plum are shimmer finished. I personally like the matte finishes for a neutral look and the shimmers if you want some dimensions to your lids, which I rarely go for. The lipsticks from AVON are ones I am all too familiar with, they always have either sheer or frost finishs. I like the frost better (Mystic Beige and Fresh Melon are frost colors) as I find they go on the lips smoothly. I've tried both and they are especially creamy while being frost, the mystic beige color really does wash my face out as it was too nude.
I got myself another mascara, this time from Rimmel and of course, I haven't worn it yet as I'm still good with my recent purchase mascaras from Loreal and Majolica Majorca. The Vinyl Lipgloss is one that I have always wanted as I know how opaque it would be and you could wear it alone without a lipstick and still get the color on your lips. I went for the baby pink that they have, and this one paired with the Sheer Pink from AVON would be a perfect combo.
The blusher from In2it is a three tone, brown-to-coral blusher. At first I thought it would be creative to use it as an eyeshadow trio as well but it was too chalky for the eyes that the colors didn't blend well enough. However, it did make a good blusher. Out of all purchases, I've worn this one multiple times already and the color was very pretty, it even stays on half the day, which I don't know about you but I always seem to have problems about my blusher dissapearing! Lastly, I bought the Two Way Cake BB Powder from Maybelline. I did want to try some BB Creams but I'm sceptical to start with Maybelline. I don't know, but I have the feeling that the Korean or Japanese brands making BB Creams get it better than US/UK products. I wanted to try some Lioelle BB Cream if I could find one. Also, I am the type of girl who loves full coverage makeup, and I'm quite scared that I can't have that in BB Creams. I'm not playing- my skin is not some kind of Kawaii girls wearing Harajuku style shirts. But I am almost willing to give it a try. Oh well, about 60%. I'll convert if I can be 100% sure that there is one out there that can give me just the one thing that I can't let go of --> full coverage =)
Let us all pray that this is the last purchase of makeup for a while (excluding the next one, which is from...SEPHORA!)
Bai. Sayang semua.
