Hi! Welcome back to my blog. I'm Mireille.

Are you guys excited to see my thoughts on this palette? Cause I am very excited now and I can't wait to share with you guys how awesome is this palette!

I accidentally discovered this palette when I was window shopping at Sephora online. I never knew that Zoeva produces such great quality palette! (I thought they are only good at producing makeup brushes haha) 

I was initially looking at their Plasir box which consist of 3 palettes. However, the colours of Caramel Melange overpowered the other two palette (Cocoa Blend and Blanc Fusion). Caramel Melange is so hard to get as it it always out of stock on the website. Ok..ok..i know I'm going too far =.=

Let's get started!

Oh....isn't the packaging beautiful? I can't resist it! This gold and warm brown colour really reminds me of fall. Although I live in a country without fall hahaha. It is sleek and compact which is a plus for storing.

It claims to have superior pigmentation, easy to blend and consist of vitamin E.

Well, I can't tell if it really contains vitamin E but the first two statement is true. It is very pigmented and easy to blend.

We know that matte shades are often harder to blend compare to the shimmers but this palette really surprises me. It blends like magic!

This is how it looks like once it's open. There are 10 shades in this palette. 6 matte shades, 3 shimmers, 1 matte with gold glitter. This is a warm tone palette. It is 1.5g for each pan.

Top from left: wax paper, universal delight, aftertaste, 182 degree celcius, liquid center

Bottom from left: alchemy, start soft, finish sensual, almost burnt, edible gem

The mattes are very pigmented with a powdery feel but does not have fall outs upon application. 

The shimmers are really gorgeous! I live for them! They are very shimmery and they have minimal fall out (normal for shimmery shades) which is good enough. 

Overall the shades are easy to blend and wear as they compliment each other really well. As for the pigmentation, it is no doubt very intense!

Doubt it? Let's take a look at my swatches on this palette.

These are the swatches for the colours on the top lane.

These are the swatches for the bottom lane.

They are really pigmented right?! I know after seeing the swatch are you guys wondering what is the difference between alchemy and start soft? Alchemy has more of a reddish tone brown while start soft is more of an orangey brown. Universal delight is my usual transition shade. It is also the only one shade with this buttery feel. The shimmer shades are not chunky which is surprising. I recommend applying using finger or a compact brush to prevent fall outs :)

Daily makeup look created using this palette.

I also found out that edible gem is similar to the shade sippy sippy in the Swamp Queen palette by Tarte in collaboration with Grav3yardgurl. I like the edible gem more than sippy sippy because it blends out nicely. 

Pros:

Pigmented, affordable (USD26.5 on official website, RM 90.00 on Sephora website), long lasting, minimal fall out, compact

Cons: 

No mirror :(

Verdict: 5/5 !!!!

Recommend? YES!

Repurchase? Yes. If I am able to finish it hahahaha

Hello everyone! I'm back to blogging. First of all, sorry for disappearing without notice ><

As the title stated in the post, today's review is going to be the famous Korean brand Etude house's Lip liner~! I purchased this a long time ago but haven't try it until recently that I've decided to try this lip liner as it has been lying around for quite some time. =.="

.

So, let's get started!

This is how it looks like in the official advertisement.

This is the close up of the liner. It has quite a small tip which enables precise drawing on the lip line.

This is the amount that is left after a few swatches.

Now let's look at the swatch.

Hello friends~ I'm Mireille and I'm back with another review :D

Today's review is going to be the Swamp Queen palette from tarte!

As a swamp family I couldn't resist the urge to get this palette full of wonderful colours.

The palette comes with 9 eyeshadows, 1 bronzer (not suitable for Asian skin tone), 1 blusher and 1 highlighter.

.

Isn't it awesome?~~ I like the woody feel of the packaging and the texture. The palette is made of cardboards (?)

I like how the palette feels and how it has a cute alligator with wings printed on the cover!

Let's take a look at the content shall we?

.

.

.

I especially love the big mirror that came with it. The quotes printed are very motivational and inspiring! It also came with a brush which is a plus. The quality of the brush is not bad at all :D

This is a closer look on the name of the shades and the colours.

From left: #SFS, Natural Peaches, Dogman

#SFS: metallic finish, very pigmented.

Natural Peaches: matte, pigmented but with minor fall outs.

Dogman: matte finish with a tiny bit amount of glitter. Take effort to blend.

Favourite: #SFS

From left: Big Baby, Sassy Bun, Sippy Sippy

Big Baby: matte finish with minor fall outs.

Sassy Bun: metallic finish, very pigmented.

Sippy Sippy: matte finish with glitter. Difficult to blend as shown in the swatch

Favourite: Sassy Bun~!!!!!!!

From left: Haunting, Uncommon, Mancat. (They're all grayish purple shade, but the swatches looks abit brownish on my skin)

Haunting: shimmer finish, very pigmented.

Uncommon: metallic finish also very pigmented.

Mancat: matte finish, I think this is the shade that is hardest to blend in the palette.

Favourite: Hauting.

From left: Sweet tea, Does this thing really work?, Gator wings

Sweet tea: shimmer finish (it is very pigmented, I use as a eyeshadow since it doesn't suit me as a bronzer. Hehe)

Does this thing really work?: also shimmer finish, very pigmented.

Gator wings: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HIGHLIGHTER EVER. YES, I SAID MOST.

Favourite: GATOR WINGS!!!!!! I live for this highlighter.

Final thoughts:

Overall it is a pretty decent palette. I love the shades they are very pretty and pigmented. As it is very pigmented, do expect some fall outs. The matte type shadow is not to my liking mainly because it is very difficult to blend. It is a very good palette for everyday makeup too. I can see myself using this palette a lot in the future.

Good job Bunny! Love ya!

So, we have come to the end of the review. I guess I'll stop right here.

Have a nice day~ Bye~~~~~~

Hi girls! Welcome to my blog~~~~

Today I'm going to review the Kose Lip Gel Magic~~~

.

.

.

.

.

Tadahhhhhh~!!!!!!!!!

I've heard a lot about amazing things about this product!!!! It is the "raincoat" for lipsticks. So, I've decided to purchase it over the Kose counter.

This is how the packaging looks like.

okay, now let's not waste our time and get into the review shall we? :)

What it claims to do:

How to apply:

Use after lipstick is applied.

This is how my lips looks like without applying the lip gel magic. I'm using Colourpop's ultra satin lips in the shade Calypso.

This is the kiss test on a piece of tissue paper. As you can see it does transfer onto the tissue.

This is my lips after applying a layer of lip gel magic. It has a slippery feeling when it is first applied. It changes the finish of the lipstick slightly to a more powdery finish BUT does not dry out the lips. Yes, It blurs out the fine lines on my lips.

Now, the kiss test....

Left: with lip gel magic on

Right: without lip gel magic

I am amazed!!!!!!!!!!! It does what it claim, does not have any fragrance and is very comfortable on lips.

The tube contains 6.0gm of products and claims to be enough for 60 applications.

Veridict: 5/5

Now I can use any lipstick and need not to worry about transferring issues.

Repurchase?

YES YES YES YES!

Okay! That's all for today~ I guess I'll see you guys next week :)

Yes, next week. Stay tune~

Hey there! I'm back with another review! Today's review is gonna be the medium brush set from Csmakeup!

Csmakeup is a Malaysian brand that sells makeup tools which I discovered through Instagram.

Their brushes are really affordable and the qualities are good as well.

I've purchased their pro essential brushes which are now my holy grail brushes!

They are super soft and not prickly to my sensitive eyelids.

I also have the BH cosmetics pop art brush sets but I find that I have been reaching to the Csmakeup brushes more than the BH cosmetics'.

Don't get me wrong, they are both amazing brushes!

So, today I'm going to review their new 12pcs medium brush which is very handy to bring around when travelling.

It is a MEDIUM brush so they're much more smaller than the full size brushes.

HAIR MATERIAL: soft artificial fibre

DISCLAIMER: I bought these brushes with my own money. It is not a sponsored blog post.

Lets take a look at these amazing brushes shall we?

There are 12 pieces of brushes in this set. Who could resist an elegant black gold brush set like this?

Now, lets take a closer look at the brushes. 

From Left:

P9: Nose Shading Brush

P10: Lip Brush

P11: Detail Brush (I use it to fill in my eyebrows)

P12: Artwork Brush

I received this set of brushes last Friday and decided to try out for a few times before making a review.

When I first remove the brushes from their individual plastic cover I do find a few fall out of the bristle BUT I can say that the bristles are staying intact with the brush body firmly since I've already wash for like 5 times and I've not discover any fall out.

PS: They ship worldwide.

Pros:

Cons:

Verdict: 4/5

Recommend?

Yes. A very good quality brush set for the price.
