Flo's All Time Favourites

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

Hi everyone! This is just a brief list of my all time favourites :)

I don't really use ALL products everyday, but if I needed to, these will definitely be my go-to products. All of these products can be easily found in Singapore - Watsons, Guardian, Sephora, Smoochieez and other retailers.

My skin type: Oily/Combination, prone to blemishes and acne.
My skin concerns: Hyper pigmentation scars, clogged pores.

BASE:

Primer - Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+/PA+++

This is my everyday staple! I need my sunscreen or I'll feel uneasy the whole day. My face gets really oily throughout the day and in Singapore, the weather doesn't help to control oil and sweat AT ALL. So this comes in handy as a base :) It is super light, doesn't feel tacky at all, doesn't leave a white cast in pictures and is super affordable!

Foundation - Skin 79 Super BB Triple Functions SPF 50+/PA+++ 

This BB cream has very, very good coverage. I also love how the colour will settle in and adjusts itself to my skin tone, leaving a dewy finish. However it's a little on the steep side for "drugstore" make up, so I usually get it from Korea or Gmarket! It lasts pretty long though, considering that I use it everyday :)

//Recently, I bought the Sunkiller BB Perfect Strong SPF 50+/PA+++ and it has the perfect sheer-medium coverage for everyday use and can be layered on when I want extra coverage! More in-depth review here.

Concealer - Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer in 01

I love this concealer!!!! It is a little yellow/dark for me if I use it directly on bare skin, but it matches perfectly when I have foundation on! It is affordable and has a good coverage. Heavy enough for my hyper pigmentation scars, yet I don't feel like it's suffocating my spots when I have them! I tend to like liquid concealer better than cream ones, so this is perfect for me.

Powder - Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

I used to set my face with the ZA two-way cake but I figured it was way too thick for my liking. So I switched to this one and found it pretty suitable cause it is translucent and it is very fine. I only use this to set my inner cheeks, nose and forehead to keep as much oil away as possible :D

Blusher - Benefit Hervana Face Powder

My go-to blusher that I always keep with me! I love the magical combination of pink+purple+peach, the subtle highlighter and the smell. THE SMELL OF BENEFIT'S BOXED POWDERS ARE HEAVENLY. I've already hit pan on this one :'( If I can't find a better one, I'll most probably repurchase this!

EYES:

Primer - Urban Decay Original Primer Potion

This is another product I cannot live without. My face is a huge oil producer and my lids are not an exception. Without this primer, I will go around with smudged eyeshadow and eyeliner (what's the point of smudged make up, really). I use this even when I line a thin line on my eyelid for school/errands - THIS IS HOW RELIANT I AM ON IT. Never tried other primers and most probably won't!

Eyeshadow - Naked Palette

This was my first eyeshadow palette, and it's still my favourite :) That says a lot right? Haha. All the colours, and yes I mean every single one, can be used on a daily basis and are super versatile! The pigmentation is awesome, just a little dab and I can get very saturated colour on my lids. My fav colours - Sin, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Toasted, and Gunmetal. I might as well name every colour in the palette hahaha.

Eyeliner - Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Hands down my favourite. I love the brush, I love the consistency, I love how black it is, I love how it doesn't flake off, I love the packaging. This is my most repurchased item, I have 6 of them now. 4 empties, 1 currently using and 1 brand new \m/

Mascara - Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara + Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara

The combination of these 2 mascaras is the bomb. I will put a layer of the Long & Curl and then a layer of Volume & Curl afterwards. Super waterproof, holds my curl, gives extra length and volume. My favourite combination, ever!!!!!!!!!

Eyebrow - NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

I prefer eyebrow powder over pencil on a day-to-day basis. They're less-harsh and way easier to use! This colour is perfect for my hair. I use the lighter on the first 1/3 and the darker colour to define the end of my brows :)

LIPS:

Lip balm - Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Velvet

I love all baby lips! But I have a weakness for Cherry flavour so I keep this around with me.

Lip stick - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 001 Honey / Maybelline NeoNude Color Sensational Lipstick in NEO6 Sheer Rose

These two lip products are my two MLBB (my lips but better), the Revlon one runs a little towards the red side while the Maybelline one gives my lips a pinker hue. I love both and these happen to be the two I reach out most from my other lip products! They are very moisturising, tho needs to be reapplied quite often, but I'd rather that than lipsticks drying out my lips. And they are very subtle but gives the perfect everyday colour :)

Ok! Phew, we've finally reached the end of this post. Do let me know what are some of your all-time favourite products :) If you have any enquiries or need more info about any of the products above, don't hesitate to e-mail us at twovainpots@gmail.com!

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!!
