Pea's Everyday All-time Faves

[Products are not sponsored and all reviews are honest opinions!]

Hi! Pea here! I'll be showing you guys my go-to products for a everyday look. I don't normally use all of it daily because i am a heck of a lazy girl who loves makeup.  
We'll do up another post for makeup for formal events!

I have combination to slightly oily skin and my main concerns are uneven skin tone and old scars and some hormonal zits. I also have really thin skin so I turn flushed/red really easily. 

Ok so these are the products.
(It looks a lot but it really isn't) 



I prime my face using DRx non-tinted physical sunscreen (SPF30) and then the Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion in Natural Beige.
(Ok I admit, when I'm lazy I just use sunscreen and concealer)
I absolutely love the dewy glow and ever since I switched my facial products, I don't need to worry about shine much! The sunscreen gives me a very lovely shine which I absolutely love cause it makes me feel very glowy. haha
For the BB cream, the coverage is really minimal and it serves to correct my skin tone. I don't like the feel of 'heaviness' so this is really perfect for an entire day at work because it is so light.
S$59.90



I cannot express my love for this concealer. I use it in shade 01 which is the lightest. 
It's not too thick, it lasts the entire day, it matches my skin tone (when it's not red)
S$14.90

Next up would be my eyes

I never know the importance of eye primers until I got introduced to E.L.F eye primer. 
My oil lids are even oilier than my t-zone and this eye primer has the lasting power of up to 8 hours. 
If I'm not too lazy, I use Urban Decay Naked Basics to 'powder' my eyelids and keep it matte. 
Price varies but I got it for $6 at Smoochiezz warehouse

I switch between Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner and Dollywink Liquid eyeliner. 
It's quite hard to find the Dollywink one sometimes and the Heroine one is just as good! 
It starts to wear at around the 8th hour? unless I forget and start rubbing my eyes which just causes it to wear off. I love that it doesn't budge and leave me with weird black smudges around my eyelids. 

I use Covergirl Length and Covergirl Volume blast. They are my holy grail mascaras and I've finished about three tubes each alr. I basically layered the length over the volume. They are non-clumpy and that's awesome because I cannot stand 'spider legs'. 
Heroine Make Smooth Eyeliner: S$18.90
Covergirl mascaras: Price unknown cause it was bought for me from the States!

Whew, this is getting long. 
ok, let's continue this. 

For blusher, I actually gravitate towards a bunch of brands but The Balm in Downboy is a super light pink which gives me a nice simple flush. 
S$29.90
My other everyday blushes include M.A.C Pink O Peach, NYX PB05 Pinky, Catrice Think Pink and The Balm Instain Houndstooth

M.A.C: $21
N.Y.X: $10
Catrice: S$7.90
The Balm: S$27.80

Lips
Ok trust me, I'm almost done.
I like having nude, brickish lip colors so Maybelline in Warm Me Up, Revlon Kissable Just Bitten Lip Stain in Honey and Catrice in 030 Ginger and Fred are my everyday colors. 

Maybelline: $17.90
Revlon: $18.90
Catrice: $7.90

(I just realize all my lipsticks are of somewhat the same shade haha!)

and, ending off with my face!
I take about..20 mins every morning? Which is not too bad, IMHO. 

Before/After!
I know you cant really see a difference and that is the whole point.
I just like to even out my skintone and keep it simple. 

This is taken with my iPad and I will start using my camera more to give you guys better quality pictures! 
-promise
But I did not use any filter on this and its taken right outside my house with all the natural lighting possible. So there you go!!

  1. Hi could i have more details on your eyeliners? Smudging can be quite a constant problem but on the other hand, i'm using a liquid eyeliner now that dries as a film, so good, yes, does not smudge, but it can flake off sometimes if you know what i mean... So just want a gauge of where your eyeliners place on the scale and also where they can be purchased. Thanks~

    1. Hi! both of us are hardcore fans of Dollywink eyeliner. I get the flaking problem especially when my lids get oily. using a primer or reducing the touching of your eyes help in maintaining the liner! Heroine Make liners tend to have a shorter life span compared to dolly wink, hence the difference of about 5$. they can all be purchased at watsons! hope this helps!
