Pea's June Favourites 2014

Hi loves! Sorry I wasn't around for May favourites cause I was overseas and wasn't able to do it properly. But Flo's favourites were up and you can read them here

Anyway, I am back for the month of June faves so read on! I don't have a lot this past month. I have just been grabbing the same few things recently.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primers

I have own these primers since Dec'13 and a little of these do go a long way. I bought the green one because I have very thin skin and my capillaries show and I flush really easily so my face is red all the time. The other one is the colour correcting primer and I love these two.

Recently, I was very inspired by the swirly Stila primer that mixes all the colour of the primers together so I thought I'd tried mine that way too. Normally I would just apply the green on my cheeks and the other one on my t-zone. But this was has been amazingy time saving and I feel it still works the same way. Its silicon-based so it feels amazing after applying it on your skin, kinda like the Benefit Porefessional but a little less thin.

Topshop Blush [Good Girl]

So I had been on the lookout for a baby pink blue undertone blush forever and I knew I had to have this. I made Flo buy it too hahaha This gives a very baby-doll flush and looks very cute and natural. I use a small stippling brush to get a very light-hand since I am always red anyway.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer [15 Fair Clair]

I actually bought this on a whim because I was at the drugstore and wanted to buy something but I didnt know what exactly. I saw that there were only a couple of this concealer in my shade so I grabbed it. And I love it. I chucked aside my NYX HD concealer for this because I feel that this is more suitable for my shade and at the same time, the pink undertones brightened up my area. Its very thin but the coverage is awesomesauce. It does not crease or settles into my fine lines so I luvvv it. 

This was also one of my impulse buy and I don't think its available in Singapore yet but I love it. I use it DAILY because it gives me the most beautiful lashes and holds my curls the whole day. I have a review on it so you can read it here !

Bene Balm // NYX Butter Gloss [Cherry Pie]

So I have been layering these two colours for the prettiest pinkish red.

I AM AWARE IT SAYS BENETINT. SORRY its suppose to be Bene Balm!!

anyw, the Bene Balm gives my lips a slight tint of colour and moisturise it while I pop the NYX butter gloss in the middle of my lips. It creates the all-time craze now - Korean gradient lips. Both gives off a light sheen but they do not last. These are not long-lasting lipsticks so do expect the need to reapply after eating! However, they are really natural and I love the look. 

Ok, I am signing off here! See you guys soon!

Love,

Pea

Review: Catrice Defining Blush

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

Today I will reviewing a relatively new brand in Singapore!

Catrice is a relatively new brand in Singapore and I love what I've tried out so far.

I've converted Flo into a true fan.

So these are the 6 colors. [I bought 4, 5 & 6]

 1. Its a really light peachy/coral color with very subtle shimmer. You can dab it on as a highlighter!

2. This is a deep mauve brick color and I think it's a little too dark for my skin tone, but otherwise, its a beautiful color.

3. Toffee Fairy is just a nice brown that is very buildable for contouring or bronzer and it works because there is no glitter/shimmer in it!

4. This is like a everyday light plum color and totally my kind of color. 

5. I wonder why I picked this up because I don't really wear coral much but look at the intensity!! Its a way more intense version of Apropos Apricot and it does not have the shimmer

6. My favourite out of the lot. I love pink. Pink on my face, lips, nails. Pink everywhere. This is just so pretty. Even the name is pink. 

As you can see from the swatches, the pigmentation is awesome and the colors are very intense. I have gotten a whole lot of products which ranged from their highlighter pen to their lipsticks. I am dying to get my hands on the concealer palatte. 

Flo will be doing a review on their lippies so do look out for that!

I have worn Think Pink out three times this week and I cannot stop lovin' it.

I tried out Love & Peach once so below's a picture of the shade. I normally sweep my brush across it and dust off quite abit before LIGHTLY sweep it across my cheeks. I turn red very easily so I don't use alot of blush. But I really am pleasantly surprise and love how this color turns out on my skin!!

It lasts for about 7-9 hours depending on how much I put and I blot once in between during the day. 

Love & Peach 

And this is Rose Royce !

As you can see, it is not as peachy/coral-y in color and I think it's a winner too!

So have you all managed to guess the price?

THIS PRODUCT IS ONLY $6.90

The price is unbelievable for the quality. 

However, Catrice is only available in selected Guardian stores.

The outlets that I know carry it are Serangoon Nex, IMM, City Link, Takashimaya, Vicocity, Bugis and Toa Payoh. These are the ones that I know and saw on their FB page.

If you know of any other outlets, do comment below!

Also, have you tried out Catrice and any of their products? Let us know!

Review: Daiso Blusher

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

Hello! Saw these blushes at Daiso, and I couldn't resist but to get them. Packaging is very pretty and sturdy, doesn't look $2 at all! I've never tried Daiso blushes before cause $2 products are quite dubious to be put on my face… HAHA, but I decided to just be yolo and tried them on! I've tried their eyeshadows before and truthfully they are very well pigmented :) Oh, and these are Made in Taiwan.

My theory is: If it's good, then $2 well spent! If they don't work, then well.. It's only $2 I guess :/

The first one that I reached out to was the mixture of purple and pink, called Magic Colour. Cause they reminded me of my Holy Grail Benefit Hervana blush, which I've worn to death and already hitting pan *cries*

And I have to say, I'm not disappointed at all! The colours are vivid, the shimmers are not too much but enough to act as slight highlighter on my cheeks. Plus, this combination complements my skin tone :) 

I will definitely repurchase this if I ever run out, which I don't think I can ever cause Daiso often change their products. Haha. But for this colour, it's $2 well spent ✓✓✓

A few days later I dropped by Daiso again and decided to pick up the rest of the colours! At first look, both the colours looked the same, but apparently one is orange and the other is pink. Hmm, both looks orange/coral to me. 

This is the orange one, called Cute Colour:

Looks pretty good to me. 3 orange/coral shades and one pure white shimmer. They are not as well pigmented as the purple and pink. But I think it will look great as a subtle sun-kissed look! I won't repurchase this, cause I don't wear coral blushes on a daily basis, hehe but it's also a definite $2 well spent ✓✓✓

Last but not least is the pink one, called Pink Colour:

I guess the difference between the two are the colours no. 2 on each blush respectively! One is pearly coral while the other is pearly pink. However, I don't think the pearly pink colour helps to change the colour to pink? Somehow this mixture is more pigmented than the coral one though… :/

Again, I won't repurchase this cause it leans towards coral/red than pink (which is my go-to blusher colour). But this is definitely not subtle like the previous one. So if you like vivid colours or if you have a more medium-dark skin tone, I'd say go for this! Of course, with this level of pigmentation, $2 well spent ✓✓✓

That's the end of my review! I hope with this review, some of you can put down your guards towards $2 face products… HAHAHA. Cause I definitely had a different outlook towards them!

Till the next,

Flo♡
