Haul: MAC Cosmetics

Hello again



I have not been to MAC for awhile but since i ran out of my Body Shop Lightening Touch, i thought it was a good time to hit MAC. I walked away with more than one item and lesser ka-ching! I will be doing a post on my base/foundation makeup with all this soon which includes my favourite MAC foundation.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

Hello

Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs is not something new to me. I have tried it about 6-8years back and can't recall much except that i was so-so about it.
So when Watsons stock up the new formula, i took the chance to "re-purchase" since there was a $10 off promo, which calculates to $19.90 from $29.90.



What it is:
A weightless,water resistant formula for even coverage and finish. Long lasting Spray-on Leg makeup with Palmaria Extract evenly covers freckles, veins and imperfections and helps to stimulate micro-circulation for healthier and firmer looking legs. Skin feels silky smooth all day with improved texture and radiance.

Directions:
Shake well-Hold can 15cm/6 inches away from skin. Spray directly into hand and apply evenly all over legs. Wait 60seconds before dressing. Wash hands after use. Wash off easily with soap and water.

My thoughts:
Firstly, i find it messy to apply with my hands. Instead i spray it directly onto my legs, then use my Sigma F80 to blend. I repeat the process one more time to ensure even coverage. It sets fast and i don't have any sticky or oily feeling on my legs but i do feel like i have "something" on my legs which will disappear after 15mins.

I also did the "water test" and am satisfy with what i see. However, when i pat my legs dry with my towel, i do see a bit of colour on my towel, which is expected.

Coverage wise, i do not have "pretty legs" to begin so it does not cover ALL of my imperfections but it does work for minor imperfections and it gives a beautiful sheen to the skin which i love. Some have noticed and dislike the glitter in it but i do not see the glitter at all. And it is easy to remove too.




All in all, i do like this for days that i wanna look extra pretty with short dresses or shorts. Do grab it if you are interested as the promotion is still on and you do not have to worry about colour as it comes in 4 shades. (Light, Medium, Tan, Deep)

November Bellabox

Hello


This month's Bellabox theme is "Bliss".

"Bliss has a different definition to everyone, be it travelling, settling down with a good book or soaking in the tub. Here at bellabox, we liken bliss to looking and feeling beautiful"


L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil (Nourishing Oil) $42 for 125ml
L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil gives your hair the frizz-free protection and nourishment it needs from the stress of day-to-day styling and the environment. Delivering salon quality results, this oil contains avocado oil packed with essential Vitamins that deliver lightweight shine and health to your hair. The addition of grape seed oil packs a serious punch of antioxidant power that protects hair from sun, wind and other environmental aggressors that strip hair of its natural lustre. Restore your hair to the beautiful shine it deserves with Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil.

Benta Berry Facial Moisturizing Cream (G-1) $29.90 for 30ml
G1 Facial Moisturising Cream from BENTA BERRY is made from 100% all natural active ingredients. That means skin is softened, hydrated and protected not only from but by mother nature herself. A moisture regulating complex controls excess sebum and purifies skin for a matte finish devoid of shine caused by surface oil. A light subtle fragrance suitable for boys or girls finishes off the experience


Storyderm Silk Mask $19.90
Held within the Storyderm silk mask are concentrated, natural plant extracts that help your skin absorb all of the nutrients and moisture densely packed into this amazing facial mask. The key is in the protective layer that covers your skin, increasing its temperature and ability to effectively take in all the mask has to offer. Skin is softened, rejuvenated and conditioned. Impurities are extracted and removed for results that are breathtakingly pure to behold and feel.


L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Cellular shampoo $42 for 500ml
Damaged hair can often seem beyond the point of repair, but even the most damaged locks can be saved with Absolut Repair Cellular Shampoo. It works from the inside out, getting to the root of damage by infusing ionic power right from the cells. Hair is instantly transformed from dry and damaged to soft, manageable and beautiful. Detangling becomes a breeze, hair is cleansed, smoothed and extremely soft. With each use your hair fibers are protected to fight another day of styling and environmental exposure.


Savoir Faire Mini Lipstick $9.95 for a mini or $65 for full size
These creamy lipsticks will dazzle and with ingredients such as beeswax you will delight in their nourishing quality and water-resistance. All shades are lightly scented with vanilla.

Overall, there are a few items that i am most likely to try from this box. With that said, i can't wait for December box to arrive as its holiday season.

Have you tried anything from your beauty box yet? What are the items that you were most excited about?

Dusty blog and help needed.

Hi Everyone,

i am thinking of going back into blogging now that my babygirl is almost 20months old. She can play on her own at times but do still wants me to be around her while she plays. So i was thinking, hmm, maybe i can make use of my time in doing this again. However i do need a little help from you guys. Since i did not do any blogging for probably more than a year ago, i would appreciate if y'all can reccommend me a good basic camera that can do pretty much basic things to produce good pictures for my blog. I do have a small budget though as im a Stay at home Mum (SAHM).

Also what do you guys think i should do or blog in order to get back in the swing of blogging? Any reccomendation from mummy bloggers out there? However, i may not being doing alot of things yet as i do not have a camera to take photos accept my iphone camera which could be of a task to me to sync photos with my laptop. I hope to hear reccommendations/suggestions/feedbacks/comments from y'all!

 

In the meantime, here is a pic of me and my lovely little girl..!

Thanks for reading and thank you in advance for your help!

xoxo
