Review| The Cure: Natural Aqua Gel & Skin Cream

So I was given the opportunity to attend The Cure media launch eveny and guess what?

I'm the first guest to reach the event, yay!


____________________________


____________________________

This time's location, which I believe, is one of the small event hall from DPAC or the separated room of Tour Les Jour. 
I'm not entirely sure.. but we're in Empire Damansara Perdana for sure.
This place is gorgeous.


I came in first and got my details written in their guest book~
Here's the Guest Book section featuring one of the guests.


At the side of the counter, there were a bunch of gifts <3 <3
Blue and white theme really do match the colour of the products.



I settled down at the far back of the stage area (because I feel more safer there ><)


Right behind the racks that you can see on the left of the venue, someone from Tour Les Jour
was setting up yummy snacks for the guests to nom-nom.


They look really, really tasty, to be honest.


They are all really cute too. All of these are petite bite-sized food, like mini burgers, mini tarts and other mini pastries.


I took one of everything to try because I was curious heheheheheh


After nomming down everything, here's what I like the most:
mini strawberry pastry, mini tarts and that dark colour bun 
which I assume is banana chocolate?


The seminar was conducted by a pretty Korean lady named Fiona, who is the Sales Distributor of The Cure in Malaysia.
(I feel very intimidated while talking to her >< I feel so smol...)


Behind her was these products on display.
They are actual products tho, not empty bottles.
lollololololollol


ANYWAY,
let's get to the main thing here ehheheheh

THE CURE PRODUCTS!


All the guests were given small samples to try these two items out during the seminar.
I'll be honest with you, I was shocked.


This one here was introduced few years back but I didn't pay much attention to it while the Sasa lady introduced it to me mainly because I couldn't afford buying it. It was about Rm129 and right now the price in Sasa became Rm139.

It's a beadless exfoliator that effectively removes dead skin while being gentle to your skin.


The product that they are launching here in Malaysia is this thing called CWT Skin Cream.
Originally it was not supposed to be on sale but because of a massive amount of demands, the Toyo Life team who create this product decided to release its sale to the nation. Since then, this product was seen as a new successor after the Natural Aqua Gel aka Legendary Product / Monster Product.


Now this product was said to remove dead skin using activated hydrogen water (75%). It was believed that they (Toyo Life) are the first who successfully master the technology that allows a product to use activated hydrogen water, 
which boosts skin care effects.

This lightweight skin cream can be used as a toner and an emulsion. One of the main ingredient is the harmless cosmetic-grade silicon that covers the users' skin to maintain skin hydration for a smoother and oil-free complexion, 
which I do agree about this, very much. 

Although it is a cream, it actually feels more like a lotion because of it's high concentration of liquid.
This gives it another benefit to be absorbed into the skin at a really, really fast rate. While rubbing it on the back of my hands, they really do have water droplets appearing, just like what Miss Fiona had said. (!!!) 매직 처럼!!!


This product was also claimed to be able to speed up skin regeneration process, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as keeping the user's skin supple, firmer and even skin complexion as it penetrates into the skin effectively.


Here are my thoughts:
The people were honest about these products being lightweight and non-greasy. I really do hate thick and ineffective cream but this one here showed a whole new difference to those unreliable creams. I don't like the packaging though, in terms of being physical. I'd rather to have a cap that flips open instead of the type that you have to twist & turn several times. It gets inconvenient when you want to put more lotion but you already closed the cap. Now that you have a layer of your hands already, it feels kinda bad to use that hand and open up the cap, leaving residues on the bottle >< Just. No.

The exfoliator is not very strong, so my skin can still take it. At the same time, I feel like my face is a bit too dry for the CWT cream to product any droplets. I need intense moisturization! (is that even a word lolololololol) I honestly think that the product is not greasy at all, like, your skin does feel like a baby's skin after using it. I know what you're thinking, "Exaggerating much?" But it's true. Your skin will definitely feel soft after using this. Don't believe me? Head to Sasa and try their tester now! Be surprised :D

Although this product is really effective, I still can't really afford getting a set of it right now because the CWT alone is already Rm169. I'm really grateful that I was given a chance to try this out and I will definitely purchase a set of it the moment I settled into a job ^^ 

In the meantime, I will be using these two products as if they are worth a million ><






That's all for this post!

#SootheThyEczema | The Do's and the Goods

Having eczema is a really horrible experience.
I'm 20 years old and I can't handle it, imagine how a baby could.


____________________________________________________________________________

Hello!
So let's get on with the topic.
Let me show you my progress first and then I'll tell you about what you should do and what to use during your triggered-eczema phase.

Now I took these photos when I felt like it's really, really too much to handle.
You can see redness between my brows, my cheeks, my lower left lops, my back and my chest.
Of course, there are some on my arms and legs but I didn't bother to take photos because they are less affected by it. 

Seeing these photos actually makes me wanna scratch again.

These were taken in June 2016








The ones below are from October 2016.
Then I tried to use some moisturisers but they're not as useful as they claimed to be.



I didn't take photos of my back because I felt like it's still the same.

So, this is me, like, right now:

I look tired, yup.
Anyway, CLOSE UP!



My pores are still wide but I'm slowly getting it smoother now.
I still do get a few itches from time to time but it's not as bad as before.
Most probably because I didn't do my moisturising enough.


My back is better compared to the first round.
The scars are slowly fading too.


My chest is obviously better too.
Just like my back, the scars are fading.


The only part I need to do intense moisturising now is my legs.
These are awfully stubborn.
Although I don't get much itchiness now the scars are really difficult to clear off.




___________________________________________________________________________

Having eczema is really painful and troublesome because you have to do so many things in order to avoid being triggered, soothe it down and try 10 times harder to pray for it to stop immediately right after every time it gets triggered.



So, I made an Instagram post about it but I wanna elaborate everything here
(I mean, that's what blogs are for, ain't it?)

So let's begin with what you should do first:


1. Always moisturise your skin
This is especially when your skin had been damaged already. Since your outer layer is no longer as protective as before,  you're basically losing moisture every second/minute. The moisture in your skin has been evaporating ever since the epidermic is damaged.

Products with hyaluronic acid are always a bonus point since they draw out moisture from the deeper layers of your skin to the outer layer.

2. Speaking of damaged epidermic, this means that bacteria can enter your skin even more
So what you can do now is just to make sure you stop scratching by cutting those nails of yours. At the same time, keep your skin moisturised so that it can still function as normal. (... although not as good as before)

3. Mild soap. Mild shampoo. Mild everything.
If your face is affected, switch your cleanser to something more gentle. If your soap and/or shampoo makes your skin/scalp feels really dry afterwards, switch to -perhaps- no-soap body cleansers. Like Cetaphil.

4. Vitamins, minerals and more water!
Getting more nutrients from supplement pills is actually quite effective. It's faster than changing your diet. Of course, you're supposed to change your diet but it's best to match it with supplement pills too. Since moisturising your skin is also a key-point, you should 'moisturise' your entire body system too. It helps if you flush out all the toxins from your body.

5. Ditch hair removing
For some girls, this is very hard to do. But trust me, it's safer for you. Shaving will makes your skin super dry, epilating will trigger itchiness, hair removal cream ARE MAJOR NO-NO. They are the culprit that started my eczema. Try to make it no-shave-November an everyday thing. To be honest with you, nobody really cares about your body hair (except for those who are terribly shallow). Genuine friends/partners just really don't care at all.

I put this here instead of the previous post because I feel like this is more important to stress about.

6. Visit a specialist for faster treatment
I know some doctors are trying to make a huge profit out of this business. Try to survey around first. My mom gave me a few suggestions and I ended up picking the one in SS15, Subang Jaya since he has better reputations online than others. (Others just doesn't seem to care about online reviews/promoting.. huh) But honestly, his facebook reviews are all about how great he is but how sh*tty the receptionists are. Well, I don't feel that way because everyday, there are a lot of patients walking-in, making appointments, getting their prescription. They have quite a handful of jobs to handle. It's natural if they "accidentally" flash you a resting-b*tch-face look. I mean, I might have done that many times too, without the intention to be mean to someone.

Alright.

Now let's get back to the products I've shared on my Instagram, 

along with some of the products I forgot to mention.

These products are great for those with eczema-//allergy-//dryness-prone skin.


1. Caudalie Grape Water Spray.
First of all, this brand is a very well-known brand in EU, specifically France. 
What's in the can, though? Nothing but grape fruit water, grape juice and nitrogen. It is also stated that there is no blotting required after spraying by the way.

The reason why I picked up a mist is that I really hate the cream-moisturising concept. I mean, sure, they stay effective longer than other types of moisturisers but you can only do that to your bare face and it's also sticky???? It's just so awful, especially when I wanted to moisturise my makeup-applied face. Definitely can't do it with cream moisturisers.

Also, go ahead and try their other products.
They hydrating moisturisers work very, very well.
But a kid like me can't afford it heh.

2. Hada Labo Face Wash. 
I'm pretty sure everyone knows that foam facial cleansers are a huge no-no for dry skin since they will dry up your skin and makes your feel tightened. However, this one is exceptional. It effectively cleanses your face without scraping every sebum off the surface. I was really surprised by how gentle it is. It has a bit of fragrance, I think. But the smell is nice. It doesn't make my face feel stingy at all, even when my face was at the serious-phase of itchiness and pain.

Another bonus part is: it lasts longer than any of my other cleansers.
Seriously, you only need a very little amount of it to create a lot of foam for your entire face and neck.

3.  Innisfree Cushion.
I really don't give a dang when people tell me not to put makeup on whenever I leave the house. I mean, I'm a Libra. I can't let people from the outside to see how much of a "hobo" I am when I'm in my room. Let alone my bright red, scally face with an obvious sign saying: "I'm having a skin disease. Ask me any questions your like" is going to get in the way. I'd rather have my skin all covered up rather than being asked the same question on and on.

Innisfree cushion did a great job for not clogging my skin and blocking it to breathe. Otherwise, my already-cracked skin would crack even more. I bought two types of cushion foundation since I wanted to try them. They both work fine for me.

Anyway, I prefer Water Fit over Longwear, since it's more moisturising and has lesser coverage (means less clogging, for me). I would suggest getting a foundation instead (it's cheaper in a way) and I'm pretty sure that they are about the same. It stays on my face for quite an amount of time, enough for me to get home and take it off immediately. Makeup-removing process is also pretty quick for this product. It doesn't use a lot of colour-coverage like other foundation.

4. Muji Light Toning Water in High Moisture.
Oh, Muji, Muji, Muji.
I never loved that place so much. I'm definitely going to make a short video about it. Now, I'm pretty sure you know bout this product since during one point everyone was raving about it and it's been on Cosme's ranking for quite a while already. It has been on multiple credible beauty pages as well. I've mentioned a little bit about hyaluronic acid in the post before and this baby right here has hyaluronic acid (very good for our skin category) and also grapefruit seed extract. I honestly think that this is better than whatever tea tree oil products out there. Also, it does not have: fragrance, alcohol, paraben, mineral oil. Allergy tested but has a disclaimer that it may not be allergy-free for everyone.

There are three options for this product alone, and I picked up the highest efficiency one
just because I need that intensity :3

5. Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum.
It's not a must, but my mom and sisters made me use it until I love it.
I never wanted it at first, because it doesn't feel like it's going to do anything other than being typical skin care 'Emulsion/Essence'. But I do see a better result after using it. It felt like it will boost up the moisturising results, making my skin to be better at absorbing all the good things from every skin care products.

6. Coconut Oil  (Extra)
This one works like a miracle. I've been having the itch again on my body but my moisturizers are being useless. Then I recalled reading about putting coconut oil to calm the itching, so I gave it a try. It was 3am so I was very, very desperate to get back to sleep. I did it and, I slept through the night. I gave it a few more tries too, just to make sure about the effectiveness, and they really work but once the oil gets soaked into your skin completely, you might feel the tingling again, depending on your situation.

However, up until one point, it no longer works as well anymore.
So I used my next solution.

7. CeraVe Moisturizers (Extra)
Ever since I gave Cerave a try, I decided to ditch the idea of getting more ointment from the doctor that I had visited. Like, a short consultation, 3 small ointments and 2 packs of medicine (inflammation and Aravax) had already cost me Rm150. I can already imagine how much the ointments are gonna cost among that 150 bucks.

Cerave is a well-known American brand among eczema patients, especially among mothers of eczema babies. If you google it, you'll see that most of the websites, surveys, and even reviews for people with eczema will definitely include this brand. It was disheartening at first because Malaysia seldom have great brands in other countries. The number of choices here sucks. But after a few searches, I finally found somewhere that sells it. Sadly, Cerave is only available in Caring Pharmacy. You can order it online if you don't wanna ask each and every store one by one just to know which one has stock. Their online store will always have stocks and you can collect them in-store as well.

The cerave lotion has been saving me from all the late-night scratching. Seriously, it always happens to me at 4am-6am. Not only that it affected my sleep, but it also causes more unwanted scratch wounds.

CeraVe moisturizing lotion and cream both have glycerin, dimethicone, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. They are fragrance-free and non-irritating. Both of these "provide patented controlled released of ingredients to help repair and restore protective skin barrier". However, though, they have methylparaben and propylparaben.

The lotion itself already works well enough and their cream works even better. Creams are usually more effective than lotion since they can last longer. However, Caring Pharmacy only sells small tubes of them, so I usually use cream only when things are uncontrollable. On the other hand, the tube's volume is small enough to bring on board in your carry-on bags. This is very useful for people like us, especially when it's going to be irritating for our skin when we're boarding planes.






Okay... So, I'm pretty sure this and the previous one are not the only eczema posts that I'll be writing... since this is going to be a long war for me.

I'll update you if I found more stuff for skin types like ours.
Stay smiling!

In Game w/ Me ZoelieWho

Game w/ Me| How I caught Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini

Yo! You think a girl like me only knows about food, makeup and other stuff BUT NOT GAMES?
Think again, I love games, especially Pokemon and Sims (all generations yo!)

Here's why I'm writing this post:
So I had a bit of trouble to catch all these guardians but somewhat found a way, which I believe that this can really help you if you're stuck. I mean, if you tried to google a technique to catch these low-catch-rate creatures, most of the articles are just about 'how to get to the Ruins of [insert name]' but they never really teach you HOW to catch. So I thought, like, I might as well just write one about it.


_____________________________________________________________
But first of, here's what you need:
1. A lvl 60 Pokemon -preferably Kartana.
Here's the reason why: Kartana is already lvl 60 when you catch it, it's a steel and grass type but handles attacks.. somewhat well. The moves X-Scizzor and Leaf Blade is going to help you big time.

2. TM False Swipe
If you're a hard core pokemon fan, you should know why this move is very useful in catching legendary pokemon, simply because it will cause damage to the opposing pokemon but never kills it. This moves always leave the pokemon at 1% HP.

3. Knowledge to how to soft reset.
Basically just press L+R+Start.

4. Tons - I mean, seriously, tons of ultra balls, at least 80 of em for every island Guardian.
You'll know why when you try to catch Tapu Koko.

5. At least 80% battery life
It's gonna take you a few hours if you try to catch them all at one shot.
_____________________________________________________________

Enough said. So here's what you should do.
1. Get Kartana to learn False Swipe
2. Save right before you touch the stones
3. Touch the stone

Remember, each of them are different to catch but the same pokemon should be good enough to bring them to 1% HP.
_____________________________________________________________

NOW LET'S TRY TO CATCH EM ALL!


Tapu Koko
Now when you try to catch this little troublemaker, just keep in mind that it's normal to soft reset a dozen times and -yes- it will take you hours to catch.

I took almost 47min to catch this one here. Keep in mind that if it attacks your pokemon (in my case, my Kartana) twice, then you should soft reset your game already. This is because by the second time that he tries to use a move which causes damage, your pokemon may already be fated to faint at that point. However, Tapu Koko likes to use Agility A LOT, so pray that he uses it for the first 3 rounds so you get to make its HP into 1%. Remember, it's all about luck catching it.

What to do:
1. Kartana - use Leaf Blade (This should cut down about 70% of it's HP)
2. Kartana - use False Swipe (At this point, you should be able to cause it's HP to be at 1% already)
3. Ultra Balls - keep double tapping the Y button at this troublemaker until you catch it
4. Soft reset - when you're at the last pokemon and half of it's HP is already gone.


Tapu Lele
Tapu Lele is said to be "guilelessly cruel." I would say that it does cause a bit of damage to my team but it does have a move like Tapu Koko's  Agility which doesn't cause damages, and it is the move Flatter. 

It's easier (in my case) to catch it, in which I took only 3 minutes. Using the same technique as I did for Tapu Koko but this time, lesser ultra balls involved and no soft resets.




Tapu Bulu
This one here would be the second hardest to catch, aside from Tapu Koko.
You don't need a lot of soft resets like Tapu Koko but unlike the two guardians, all of it's moves can cause damages. Additional to that, it will regain some HP for the first 5 rounds due it's Grassy Surge. (My Kartana get's to regain some too.)

What to do:
1. Kartana - use X-Scizzor
2. Kartana - use X-Scizzor
3. Kartana - use False Swipe     (at this point you can start throwing balls or just continue using the same move for two more times, once the first 5 rounds are passed-)
4. Ultra ball - spam those ultra balls at him

This guy's moves are a lot less damaging than the other two, so each soft-reset round will take longer, which is supposed to be a good thing, right? But this bugger here doesn't even budge more than two times in all the ultra balls that I've thrown at him. It could've been easier to catch it but because of how stubborn it is, it's going to take you a while as well. For your reference, I took about 60min to catch this stubborn bull.



Tapu Fini
I think among all guardians, I like this one the most prettiest one - in terms of it's design. However, Kartana seems to be a bit difficult to use here, since X-scissor doesn't cause much damage and  since Tapu Fini is a water-type, which means Leaf Blade can K.O. it. At the same time, it's move called Aqua Ring can help it to regain HP for 5 rounds. So it's gonna take a while for it to be 1%, or at least get it's HP bar to red.

You can use other pokemon as battle starters but here's what I did:
1. Make Braviary (lvl 65) the first pokemon of my team.
2. Used Fly and caused it's HP to cut down half (but it regains a bit through Aqua Ring)
3. Used Aerial Ace to cut it's HP bar to red colour
4. Threw ultra balls to stall time as it's HP is too low for another Flying Type move
5. Used Air Slash until it's lower again.
6. At this point my Braviary had fainted
7. Brings out Kartana (in your case, the pokemon with False Swipe.)
8. Threw Ultra ball
9. Kartana - False Swipe (my Kartana fainted at this point)
10. Bring out another pokemon and spam that Y button
11. Soft reset when I'm at my last pokemon with half of it's HP gone.
- repeat until I catch it -

This one is the hardest to catch, in terms of keeping it's HP low. The move Aqua Ring makes each soft-reset rounds longer, causing more time to be wasted. At some point, I gave my Kartana potion to maintain Tapu Fini's 1% HP too. Catching this island guardian is very challenging so you might need to make a good strategy to catch this island guardian. It took me about 30 to 60 mins to catch it.

_____________________________________________________________

That's all!
Hope you find this helpful enough.
Also, I'm playing in Pokemon Sun, so if you're playing Moon, you can't get Kartana :)
Aaaaaaaand, I don't think all these island guardians will be affected by moves that causes them to burn, paralyse or frozen. I'm not really sure about this because I tried my Pichu and Snorunt on Tapu Koko. It didn't even budge.

In Althea Beauty talk Makeup ZoelieWho

Dear Santa Althea: My Christmas Wishlist!


Dear Santa Althea,

I promise you that I've been a nice girl.
I love my family, I love my dogs, I love my friends and I love my neighbours too.
Would you give me a box of Christmas Goodies, pretty please?

I promise you that I won't ask for too much but just these:
Mr Santa Althea, I've been using the Daiso Brush Cleanser.
My pretty brushes doesn't feel new anymore after using it.
So I asked Ms Althea if she has something to clean the brushes and she showed me this.
It has Thorny Bamboo Extract that contains antibacterial effect.
At the same time, it has conditioning components from the White Willow Peel Extract.
Both of which are great for my brushes!
(Pssst, she also told me that this can be used on sponges!)


Witch's Pouch's Get it Dual Brow Pencilcara in Natural Brown
Mr Santa Althea, I've bought this pencilcara before but mine is finishing off real soon.
This eyebrow pencil has been the best one I've every used.
It has a brow pencil lead and a brow mascara on both ends.
The colour Natural Brown does blend into my brows really well.
The wand also has a perfect size for any brows and it is better than the brow mascara I've gotten from Etude House. That one has a huge wand and it's hard to use without smudging everywhere.

Also, Mr Santa Althea, this one is waterproof. I tried to use water to rub it off.
It didn't come off. It was really a stubborn one... but it rubs off well with makeup remover.


Also, Mr Santa Althea. I want to try to make my own cushion foundation.
So, I need a foundation to start with it.

I found this
Banila Co's Prime Primer Fitting Foundation in BP15
I has primer in it, which also helps to cover up blemishes and dark circles naturally.
This magically bottle also has dry-fit technology in it which controls excess sebum, making the foundation to last longer than ever!

I always hear people say that it's better to hit two birds with one stone rather than just one bird with it.
Is this what it means, Mr Santa Althea?


I also want to put some brightener and moisturiser into the mixture.
seems to be the most suitable choice because it is for people with sensitive and awfully dry skin.

Doctor Skin told me I have bad, bad eczema. 
So I have to be careful with the products I'm using.
But Ms Althea told me that this one can block moisture evaporation while intensely moisturising my skin! This is because there are ceramid, hyalyronic acid, aloe vera leaf and soluble collagen in it.
In the meantime, it acts like a brightener too!


Witch's Pouch's Selfie Awesome Gel Liner in Pearl Brown
On the other hand, I wanted to get an eyeliner that can resist oil and water.
Ms Althea told me that this one has 24 hours of persistence!
The best part is that, at the end of the eyeliner, there's a sharpener and a brush!
This means that I don't have to carry too much while walking in the jungle to grandma's house!
I could also use this as eyeshadow too by using the brush at the end of the liner.
How wonderful is this!


Lastly, I've been hearing rumours about how marvellous 3CE's loose powder can be!
I feel so curious to try this out.. at the same time, I didn't want to use compact powder.

My sister had let me tried her Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder but.. I wanted something that can moisturise my skin at the same time.
So, I asked Ms Althea and she suggested this!


Dear, dear Santa Althea,

I really hope that you can grant me this wish.
I promise you that I'll be a good, good girl again.

Love,
Zoelie.

In Beauty Colourpop Hauls Makeup Review ZoelieWho

Haul &Review| Colourpop November 2016 Batch





Colourpop!

It's an American brand which many (in America) have at least 3 in their makeup pouch.
This brand is, not only affordable but also, a cruelty-free brand.

All their products are not "dry", which means that they are either cream-like, gel-like or liquid-like.
I.e.: All their palettes are not powder-formed, something that I realised only after using it.

Here's a list of what I've bought:

Carry on (Bronzer)
Suitable for people with slightly darker skin tone than those who are fair-skinned.
This one is matte.

I Spy (Eyeshadow)
The colour shade is a little bit orangey-peachy.
It has some shimmer in it.
Doesn't really show much colour on my lids tho..

Lunch Money (Highlighter)
Shimmery glow. You only need a bit of this to pop your cheeks.
I do believe that every 1 unit of bronzer, only 1/3 of highlighter is needed, that is, when you use their highlighter as reference. It's just so.. colour-full.

Lax (Ultra Matte Lip)
Brownish-red hue that only looks slightly reddish under sunlight.
It also has a bit of purple hue in other lighting.
It dries out on your lip fairly quickly.. though I'm not sure how messy it will be if you're heading to a lunch/dinner with this.

Creature (Lippie)
Brown-ish hue that does not suit people with my skin tone.
(!!!!! :   You are warned.)
(This warning applies to Lax as well)
Application is... normal. Nothing special about this.

Here's two swatches for the lip products:

Creature Lippie:

Lax Ultra Matte:

Here's also a sped-up gif of Lax drying up.
It dries up somewhere around a minute or two.



10-Wipes
Disclaimer: If a product is waterproof/smudgeproof, it shall not be affected by that feature when it comes to makeup removing. This means that they should be efficiently removed by any makeup remover with ease. It is very important to clean off every trace of makeup. At the same time, it should also be waterproof, where it shall not be affect by water during most of the time.


Here's what I feel about the makeup-removing part:
- Hard to remove
- Messy
- Time Consuming



Final thoughts:
Colourpop really pops my mind when it comes to their colour consistency as well as the amount of product for the amount of price. These products are great but I wanna emphasize on the lip products.

First of, I love the matte formula. Love it, especially when the colour has high coverage levels. However, it's gives me the feeling that it has high levels of chemicals as well, regarding the staining part. I had my friend's green Colourpop gloss on the back of my arm one time, it did not come off after a few days. (Mind you, I shower every day, wash my hands everyday lololol). For this alone, I'm not so, so, so much of a fan for their lip products.

Then, I hate the colours. They looked much more red-ish on their pictures but irl it has more brown hue. The colours made me look like I put poop on my lips, for real. That's how bad the colour looks like, on my lips. I'd change it if I could but it's not worth it when I gotta send it back all the way to California. I'm not crazy enough to pay for that much of a shipping fee.

For other products though, I love em very much.The colours, the packaging.
But I wanna emphasize on the part where they 'melt' easily(?)
Malaysia is very hot, so you might wanna keep them in a place where it's cool enough.
I'm also not a big fan on the cream-like consistency. It also feels like there's a lot of air in it(?)
Huh.. maybe I'm wrong.. but here's the most important question:






Will I buy again?
HECK YES.

.. only when there's sales. Hah!




Tips for new-buyers:

- Colourpop do provide swatch-pictures for reference. Try refrain from buying that particular product when there's no swatch-pictures available. Look at the mid-skin-tone ones if you have Asian skin tone.. unless you're exceptionally fair for an Asian.

- Pictures do look different. Unless you're getting white or black, always be aware of colour differences. In my case, especially those that are darker shades.

- There's a specific amount that you shouldn't buy over if you're shipping it to overseas. Don't wanna get custom-taxed, do you?

- International shipping is $50! (Didn't get taxed so I guess this amount is safe enough lolol)

- I heard that eyeliner and brow liners are kinda small, in terms of width.

- Based on our experience, having a Buy-$80-Free-4-Highlighter promotion is much more worthy than 20% Off Discounts.







That's all for this post!
