My Current Favourites : Makeup !!!

hey gorgeous !!!
After posting my Current Skin care, Body care and Hair care favourites here , lets see my Current Makeup Products.


I tried but the pic is still uploading inverted. SORRY :(
Kuala Lumpur is HOT I mean very very hot.I have tanned alot these days and so I have been using my Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Toast alot. Its a darker shade and goes on well when I am tanned. Its a medium to full coverage foundation. And stays all day. Even if I go out in sun, my makeup looks perfect and in place.No melting no messy.

                                      
For my cheeks, I am totally in love with these two babies. TheBalm blush in FRAT BOY and Daiso Multi cheek blush in PINK. Frat boy is a Peachy Pink blush and is kind of matte. On the other hand Multi cheek is more of a PINK highlighter. I switch between these two blushes and both of them give me a nice healthy glow with some color. See my complete review on Frat Boy here 


I got a perfect shade for my eyebrows. Elianto Ardour shadow in EARTH BROWN. Its matte and perfect dark brown. Neither reddish nor blackish. Just a perfect fill for my brows.

I have been sticking on to neutral eyes this month (woah if its not for a FOTD post :) ). So here's what I am reaching for. My Silkygirl Duo shadow in Mocha Latte. Its soft, creamy, blend-able and pigmented.
See my full reviewon Silkygirl Duo Eyeshadows here 


But for some Pop-up, I use my Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil in Ocean Blue.
You can read my review on Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil here


For lips, its a mixture of all shades of PINKs. Hot pink - Rimmel's CUTTING EDGE [See review here Subtle Pink - Silkygirl Gloss-on Lipcolor in SOFT PLUM [See review here ] and Neon Pink - Silkygirl Moisture Rich Lipcolor in ROMANTIC.


Ok guys....So here's my favourite Makeup Products. If you have any question about any of these products do ask me in the comment section.

So what are your Favourites ???

The Balmology : Mary - Lou Manizer Luminizer Review

This is my fourth The Balm product.
First was HOT MAMA here , second was CABANA BOY here, third was FRAT BOY here and now its MARY - LOU MANIZER aka the LUMINIZER.
As the name suggests its an universal highlighter i.e. can be used any where you want a nice glow.
Well I was really looking for a highlighter from the longest time and then after reading tons of positive review about this product and obviously after my great experience with the balm products, I made my mind to buy the Mary-Lou manizer. But to my luck whenever I went to Sasa or several Sasas this was out of stock.
Finally I got my hands over this product. Ok so long story short finally the Mary-Lou Manizer is caught ;)



PACKAGING and AVAILABILITY
  • Oh my !! look at this cute Mugshot packaging. I just love theBalm packaging.Its amazing.
  • It comes with a decent size mirror and has a tons of product in there.
  • Its retails for rm 72 at SASA (but I got in for 50rm woo hoo offer offer).
MY VERDICT 


  • Its a beautiful soft shimmering champagne with golden micro shimmers.
  • Its shimmery but not glittery or heavy or like the one which makes you look like disco ball. It gives you a nice glow.
  • It gives a noticeable glow on any skin tones.
  • Its highly pigmented so a slight tap of brush is enough. You need to tap the tiniest amount and blend it on to the area you want to highlight.
  • Caution : Do not use a heavy hand cause this may attract attention to some imperfections like pores or fine lines. But if you apply it with a light loose hand and blend it well, it can give you a lovely shine.
  • It has a smooth texture which is not powdery and blends easily.
  • This is an universal highligher.I use it on my cheekbones, on the inner corner of  my eyes, and some times over a eyeshadow to give a nice shimmer look.
OK???? weird face but this was the only pic that showed the glow :)

Its a HIT for me and I love to catch the MARY-LOU MANIZER :)
