Urban Decay Naked 3 swatch and review

Morning darlings,

Do you remember my previous post on the upcoming Urban Decay Naked 3 palette? I am really glad that I had actually stumbled into it. With all the big commotion on UD's Nakeds, I'm sure some of you, like me, are rather obsessed with Urban Decay products, especially their Naked palettes.  Mind you, ever since the 'leak', there are days where I had actually google and re-google the swatches, just to oogle on it; lets say I was practically staring at it mindlessly.

Whilst I was still contemplating what to get for myself this December (every year I'd get something special for myself in December; a gift to myself to remind me of the wonderful times I've had), Sephora had announced that the Naked 3 palette is available in MALAYSIA!!! oh dear, I thought I read it wrongly and had to ask my friends if it were true. I just had to get my hands on them, no matter what the price is. True enough, it cost me RM188 and i'm having roti everyday just because I had overspent :(

BUT I am currently a very happy roti muncher. Let's look at the palette!!!

Etude House Dear My Party Nails (PBK803) swatch

I had a really great nail polish haul at Etude House last month and here's one of my favourites: Etude House Dear My Party Nails in PBK803 swatch:

Etude House nail polish is super easy to swatch. Here I have 2 swatches on my nails. The nail polish is jelly based and its quite opaque - great for layering on top of other colours!!!!

I really don't know how to describe this nail polish, there's so much going on in there; black and white small glitters, hexagon blue, black and white glitters in different sizes etc. Just look at the bottle below, isn't it just awesome. I think you'll need about 3 - 4 swatches to get a really thorough coverage.

I wish this nail polish has a really cool name instead of numbers because its so hard to refer to it whenever someone ask me what shade is this :(   

Hope you enjoy this little quickie ^o^

Love,

My Beauty Diary: Mexico Cactus Mask Review

I've had such a hectic week that I was horrified to see myself in the mirror today. All I can see is this girl with such terrifying red puffy eyes, dark eye circles, red patches around the face and some unwanted acnes here and there. OMG that is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!! Girls, no matter how busy you are, it is important to take care of yourself instead of letting your "busy-ness" take care of you.

*Lets skip the part on how I de-puffed my eyes, there will be a short post on it soon ;)* All I need is to hydrate and moisturise my skin. Last week I had received the most wonderful gift from my dear friend Michelle. Masks!!!!!!! Loads and loads of masks!!!!! Today I am going to try out - le Mexico Cactus Mask ^o^ 

I was skeptical at first because well you know, how is it possible that this mask can hydrate and moisturise better than the other products that My Beauty Diary has but I was very wrong. I fell in love with this mask the moment I had put it on my face. There's a slight tingling sensation - lol I meant the GOOD tingling type. Its more or less like the feeling that you get when you put ice directly on your skin (before the coldburn). I don't want to take this mask off my face anymore. My hand is soo smooth that I can't stop touching it!!!!

Before and After Photo:

My face - all dry and flaky!!!! You can even count the bumps near my forehead YUCKS!!!

My face after using the mask. Its sooo shiny and smooth!!!! The bumps are significantly reduced and the flaky-ness is gone!!!! All I can say is WOW!!!

This mask suits ALL skin types especially for people with dry and sensitive skin. Great for summer, especially people who has sunburn - the aloe extract in it soothes the skin and it is a super hydrating mask that would keep you from having patchy, peeling skin.

Definitely one of my favourites at the moment. This is gonna be my must have mask when I am travelling.

Love,

Wonderbox March 2013 - Summer Lust!!!!

Oh dear I know this is a very late review of the March Wonderbox but bear with me as it has to be done to show all of you a bigger picture in the next post :)

Its summer time and most beauty boxes are incorporating sunblocks, hand creams and products that suits the summer season. One word of advise, products are not miracle workers, it may be able to change your looks for a moment but it still depends on your internal body condition as well i.e. your food - you need a lot of water to keep yourself hydrated and eat vegetables to give you the protein your body needs, different body parts needs different vitamins to 'boost up'. On to the March Wonderbox; well I wasn't too excited about the March edition - I love MURAD products and I certainly love hand creams but this edition just lacks the WOW factor for me.

1. MURAD Oil Free Sunblock SPF 30: RM 170 (50ml)

A patented, antioxidant-rich formula that prevents signs of premature aging caused by environmental exposure. Its lightweight, shine-free formula provides high UVA/UVB protection while micro-minerals leave an oil-free matte finish

2. MURAD Hydro Dynamic Ultimate Moisture: RM 298 (50ml)

This product features an extraordinary blend of super-hydrating ingredients that quench skin and restore youthful resiliency and tone, making it the most opulent moisturizer ever to appear in the MURAD line.

3. MURAD Active Radiance Serum: RM 398 (30ml)

The active radiance serum restores skin's natural radiance, resilience and clarity with Resilient-C Complex, a new stable vitamin C technology that delivers 50 times the collagen-building, skin-brightening and cell protecting power of ordinary topical Vitamin C.

4. ELIANTO Lustro Lip Gloss: RM 13*

Elianto's Lustro Lip Gloss gives lips a lacquer-like finish. Enhances the shape and contour of your lips to give you a glossy lustre lips.

5. WILD FERNS Manuka Honey Conditioning Hand Creme: 
NZ$ 11*

An intensive hand and nail creme contains the beneficial properties of Active Manuka AAH (Antibacterial, Antioxidant-Honey) 650+ blended with Prosina, a hydrolysed Keratin derived from New Zealand Sheep's wool.

WTF - sheeps wool???? I have no idea sheeps wool can be made into one of the ingredients in a hand creme - very interesting though.

(*prices indicated are from what I found on various websites and not the original retail price)

What I think:
Way too many MURAD products!!!! I love MURAD but I'd like to have some other products to try on as well. Hope this is just one of thos 'bad days' for them. I'll still root for you. Gambatte ne ^o^

XOXO,
