Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub and Ultra Foam Cleanser review

Hi Lovelies,
Recently I had received yet another surprise from Wonderbox Malaysia. You guessed it!!! Its the new range of deep clean for healthy beautiful skin that brightens and revitalize skin from Neutrogena. This range comes in  2 series; the Mulberry extract that helps reveal visibly fairer and brighter skin and the Pink Grapefruit that eliminates dead skin cells for younger looking and healthy skin. 
Like all of their facial cleansers based on Neutrogena's Deep Clean technology, the two new series effectively removes 99 percent of dirt, oil, impurities and dead skin cells, leaving skin clear and vibrant. 


I had received the Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Brightening Pink Grapefruit Ultra Foam Cleanser and Foaming Scrub in my box.


Amongst the best qualities that was listed:
  • contains Pink Grapefruit that helps eliminate dead skin cells for younger looking and healthy skin
  • effectively removes 99% of oil, dirt and impurities 
  • dermatologist tested
  • oil-free and alcohol-free 
  • non-comedogenic or also known as non-acnegenic (Products that does not tend to clog pores ie the formation of blackheads and its great for people with sensitive skin)
*******************************************************************************

Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Brightening Pink Grapefruit Ultra Foam Cleanser 



The Ultra Foam Cleanser cleans deep down into pores with rich fine foam that forms as it dispenses from the product bottle. 

Well I didn't like the scent of the Pink Grapefruit at all, its too citrus-sy for me and reminds me of the bathroom but hey don't let my scent preference affect your judgment on this awesome cleanser . Despite the scent, the cleanser does what its suppose to do - CLEANSE!!! My face feels sooo clean after wash. I have combination skin and it did not dry my skin at all. 
(P/S, the scent doesn't linger on your skin after wash so its not a biggie that you don't like it when you wash)

Here's a before and after photo after using the ultra foam cleanser:

The photo on the right looks so much more fresh and vibrant than the one on the left!!!


Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Brightening 
Foaming Scrub


The Foaming scrub cleanser contains gentle exfoliating beads to remove dead skin cells. ( I hope you can see the exfoliating beads on the right. Its those tiny pink dots. LOL)

I find the exfoliating beads very soft. Yes I can feel the beads when I first rub it in but it disappeared after a while. You won't get much scrubbing motion there, think of it as a mild scrub which actually suits people with sensitive skin. 

*******************************************************************************

What I think about the products:

Yes for the awesome Deep Clean technology!!! My face is all squeaky clean without the dryness but in my honest opinion, I do think the foaming scrub could have been a wee bit better ie the exfoliating beads not melting as fast as they should or be that soft; I really wanted to scrub my face a bit longer.  However we shall keep in mind that this range is non-comodegenic and is meant for people with sensitive skin, hence we shall deem it a really awesome product.

The only thing I do not like is the Pink Grapefruit scent but I will continue to use the Ultra Foam Cleanser for the sake of having 99% clean face :P

XOXO,

Majolica Majorca The Little Humming Bird Book III - Fantastic Fantasy Makeup Palette and Lash Expander Edge Meister F Mascara

Hello lovelies,

I am so excited to share with you this adorable limited edition Majolica Majorca The Little Humming Bird Book III - Fantastic Fantasy Makeup Palette (created to celebrate Majolica Majorca's 10th year anniversary) and their bestseller the Lash Expander Edge Meister F Mascara.


I love their packaging, its so cute!!! 


***************************************************************


The Little Humming Bird Book III: Fantastic Fantasy Makeup Palette
The book is just so adorable. Its small in size and makes it so much easier to bring it in your bag.  



On the right side, there are pages of short music scores with a lot of Alice in Wonderland themed  The palette comes with 2 eyeshadows, 1 eye cream base and 1 lip gloss. Its name is written on a clear plastic separator.
Antique Berry Eyeshadow
Brick Wall Eyeshadow
Table Napkin Eye Cream Base
Tomato Jam Lip Gloss

Here's a closeup of the palette


There's micro glitters everywhere!!!! even in the lip gloss. Gosh I'm gonna be so shiny and pika pika after I'm done with my makeup.

Individual swatch:


Well the swatches are kind of useless. The eyeshadows are not so pigmented unless combined with the Table Napkin Eye Cream Base.


***************************************************************


Lash Expander Edge Meister F Mascara


This brush is just sooo wicked. It catches even the tiniest lash and the formulae is soo smooth that I can swipe my lashes 4 or 5 times and it never gets clumpy. Best part? You can remove it with warm water. Say no to eye makeup remover!!!! Just kidding, you still need the eye makeup remover for the rest of the "stuff" that we girls put on our eyes ;)


***************************************************************


Step-by-Step Guide: (Please note that I have only used my fingers to pick up the colours)

1. Apply Table Napkin Eye Cream Base on your eyelids


2. Apply Brick Wall all over your eyelids on the base and you'll get a really lovely gold shimmery look


3. Now apply Antique Berry on the sides (don't worry that your eyeshadow is messy because we still have to blend the two colours together)


4. Blend it with a blending brush to soften the look and put on your eyeliner!!!!

5. Mascara!!!! I have only applied it on my right eye so that you can make a comparison on how well this product works for lengthening and volumising your lashes!!!


Yes I know I have thick eyeliner on and you can't see my lashes anymore.



6. Put on your blusher and complete the look with a dab of Tomato Jam Lip Gloss!!!


***************************************************************


Here's my completed look of the day with Majolica Majorca Limited Edition Autumn 2013 series: The Little Humming Bird III "Fantastic Fantasy" and Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister F!!!



Ta-daaaa great for quirky





My thoughts on this:

1. Absolutely affordable and great gift for Christmas. Suits beginners as well!!!!
2. Love the eyeshadows but not the lip gloss. It was a tad bit dry when I put it on. My lips did feel softer after a while but the lip gloss is really not to die for. Maybe change it with to transitional colour for blending the two eyeshadows?
3. The mascara is superb. Easy to use, clump free formulae. Excellent in lengthening.

***************************************************************

Guess what today must be your lucky day!!! (Yeah I know it sounds cheesy but it really is your lucky day!!!) Now you can grab this limited edition set (palette and mascara) for only RM 59.90 on Wonderbox's website or better yet - just redeem it with your Wonderpoints.  Look for the gift set in WonderShop and you are just one click away from owning this cute little palette



Look for this photo and click on either Redeem or Purchase Now!!!


Love,

Etude House If Story Nail Kit I: #02 Magical Spell swatch

Hello my gorgeous darlings,

Today's nail swatch is on Etude House If Story Nail Kit I: #02 Magical Spell!!! Since halloween is near and many of you don't have the time to prep your nails, this will be a really good nail polish collection to have. As always, Etude House If Story Nail Kit comes with 2 nail polishes and I have posted a swatch on the first nail polish of the collection - #01 Halloween Witch HERE.

This is Etude House If Story Nail Kit I: #02 Magical Spell


The formulae is very smooth and it doesn't clumps up but its a tad bit opaque for my liking. I had 3 swatches on and you can still see my nail line. It is more of a jelly like nail polish. The other thing I don't like about the nail polish is the glitters. The formulae was very watery and the glitters doesn't come out easily. Its still a very lovely colour but I wouldn't buy it on its own.


Love,

Halloween Makeup Look inspired by Promise Phan's Creepy Stitched Doll video

Hello lovelies,

Its end of October and there are sooo many fun parties to attend. Why? because its HALLOWEEN!!! Well actually I don't celebrate Halloween nor do I party around (seriously busy at the moment) but I was sooo inspired after watching Promise Phan's new video: Creepy Stitched Doll (Halloween) that I had spontaneously requested Jerine from milliondollarbeauty to do a similar inspired makeup look and guess what happened!!!


We call it Mama Ghost and rebellious daughter ghost!!!! I absolutely love this photo. I do find Jerine's makeup is soo much scarier than mine. I've had comments that I just look like some emo kid going to a rock concert. Ah well, can't please everyone now can we.

Lets have a close up of my face:


Ok that was scary LOL. The makeup is actually super easy to do. ok I admit I had overdone my eyes as compared to Promise Phan's but it just makes it sooo special to me :P

The products that was used:



For my look:

Eyes:
NYX Nude on Nude makeup palette
SEPHORA Blockbuster palette
HEAVY ROTATION Perfect Liquid Eyeliner
MAYBELLINE NEW YORK the Rocket Volum' Express
CYBER COLORS Eye Definer Pencil in Deep Black 01
brandless fake eyelashes
DUO lash glue

Face:
REVLON New Complexion Loose Face Powder in Translucent #02
ESSENCE Mouse makeup in 04 matt ivory

Brush:
ELF brush set


The how to:

1. Create a pale skin with your normal makeup or better yet go 1 shade lighter
2. Darken your eyebrows and go THICK THICK THICK!!!!
3. You can start with a normal smokey eye look and blend the eyeshadow outwards. (Keep your face pale and grey)
4. Stick fake lashes on the top and bottom (the more extravagant and crazy your lashes are the better the effect)
5. Contour the lower cheek with greyish brown. Remember to always always keep your face pale and grey.
6. Draw lines in XXX over your lips with your eyeliner.
7. Use a pointy brush and dip light brown shade over the tip of your X's, keep it light.
8. Dip some reds in the middle to create a pricked effect.

Well think that's all for my look. Don't forget to check out Jerine's blog for how she does her look too, you'll be blown away, I guarantee it.
