REVIEW: Thank You Farmer Be Beautiful Luminous CC Cream

22:23

Hello guys and girls! I am back with another review for a beauty product from Thank You Farmer.


Thank You Farmer is a Korean brand that produces great beauty and skin care products.

You can definitely check out their skin care and beauty products in SaSa or Aeon stores.

Without further ado, let's get right into the review!
*This post is sponsored by Thank You Farmer

Let's talk about the packaging, shall we?

I like how this CC cream comes in a bottle with a pump which makes the dispense of the product itself easy. 

Some CC cream in the market comes in the squeeze tube type which is not bad either but I personally prefer a pump bottle. The pump bottle enables me to estimate the amount that i need and also more hygienic.

The bottle is made from plastic but it does not feel cheap at all. The cap is also quite sturdy which makes it easy to bring around if you are travelling.

The cc cream is 40ml/1.40 FL. OZ. which is more than normal foundation in the market.

Now, let's look at the texture on the back of my hand.


 This is the amount of product dispensed in one pump. It is just the right amount for a thin layer on my face. 

CC cream is also known as the colour correcting or complexion corrector cream. As you can see on the after photo, my skin brightened up and has that slight glowy finish. Do note that CC cream does not offer coverage as decent as a BB cream.

We all know that the sun radiation is harmful to our skin and induces skin aging. Well, this CC cream provides sun protection which is SPF 30 PA++. However, I recommend using a real sun block for extra protection. (No one wants wrinkle haha...)

Next, let's see how it performs on the face.
This is my bare skin with just moisturizer. I have a few scars from the pimple and also pores to be filled :P my skin colour is also uneven.

After applying a thin layer of the CC cream. My scar is definitely lighter, skin tone is more even and also the appearance of pores decreases.


This CC cream is quite lightweight. The pink colour and pearlized effect brightened up and leaves a glowy effect on the skin. The texture is more like a moisturizing cream. So, do expect minimal tackiness from this product. In addition, this cc cream also contains a lot of nutrients for the skin which is a plus!

I recommend spreading the CC cream on the face by using the fingers. The warmth from the fingers makes the application easier.

I like how this CC cream does not only brightens the skin but also provides some moisture to the skin. However, if you have oily skin, I do not recommend using this on the entire face. Instead, you can apply this product on the highpoints of your face to act as a subtle highlighter. The fragrance is not too strong which is just nice. 

This CC cream is really handy if you are in a hurry but does not want to show your bare face. It also works well as a primer which makes the application of foundation smoother.
That's all for my review!

Soft and Confident Gaze Achieved with Barbie Eyesland Coloured Contact lens! (Small diameter lens)

00:45

Hello lovelies! I am back with another recommendation post!

So I received some request on Instagram asking about the coloured

lenses I got from Barbie Eyesland.


I personally prefer the small diameter lenses as it suit my eyes better.

For beginners who wants to try out these lenses, I would recommend starting from lens with smaller diameters.

Let's get right into the recommendation, shall we?

*PS: I tried them all of them but I don't keep photos for every single one of the lens. Some of them are also photos from my earlier blogging era haha...so please forgive the photo quality yea?

.
.
.

14mm diameter lens recommendation:

The natural series:

BABY SERIES
This is the very first series I bought from their shop! As you can see the decorative pattern is so minimal! This was once my daily lens until I decided to try more coloured contact lens.

IRIS SERIES

This series is very similar to the Spanish series from O-lens Korea. I think this is a nice daily lens even if you purchased their special colours, the effect is still very subtle.

EMMA SERIES
This is their new series of the month! These three colours has brown undertones which is very natural and soft. This series has very similar effect to their Pearl series. The brown ring on the outer edge makes your eyes to appear more defined.

HAILEY SERIES



Hailey series is the contact lens that I wore on my graduation day. My eyes appeared to be more define and also with very minimal enlarging effect which is good for photo shoots.

Eurasian Effect:

EURO SERIES
Euro is another series that offers light colour lens. Although the colour is very light, it is able to completely cover the natural colour of your iris.

GOLD TRICON SERIES

The decorative pattern are very strong and they offer a few unique colours. The on eye effect is very nice and the colours blends perfectly to your own iris colour.

14.5mm diameter lens recommendation:

Natural series:



SPARK SERIES

Another OG series that I love! This was the series that I used to repurchased in every order I placed for like a few years. I like the decorative pattern a lot! With or without makeup, this is a series worth the splurge.

NOBLE SERIES

Noble series is one of the top selling series in the shop. It is very natural for the brown colour but the grey colour offers you the minimal "Eurasian eye" effect.


Eurasian effect:
HONEY SERIES


What I like about this series is the light colour, decorative pattern, and also the minimal enlargement effect. The light colour provides the clear eye look and the decorative pattern is very unique.

URBAN SERIES
Do not miss out this series! This series is very very similar to Pony's 1st Street lens design! I personally recommend the green colour. The colour is very unique but it is not odd on the eyes.

DOLLY SERIES

Dolly series provides the doll eye and enlargement effect. I usually don't like lenses with enlarging effect, but the olive colour in this series is so gorgeous I just could not say no to this. (The one I wore in this photo was dolly grey)
.
.
.
Above are my recommendations for small diameter lens. I would be back with another recommendation for you guys/girls who love larger diameter lens. 

Here are some good news for you guys!
In a few weeks time they will start to gift out this cat ear hairband if you purchase 3 or more coloured contact lens from their shop. They come in two colours, light blue and pink!


See you guys next time! Bye!
















Antique Rose

Canmake New Blushers!

06:46

Hey~ hey~ I'm back with another post!

So...as you can see from the title, I am going to be showing you 

swatches and some of my thoughts on the newly launched cheek 

products from a Japanese cosmetics brand, Canmake. These new cheek

products are infused with great ingredients which helps to nourish 

your skin which is a plus for me.

You can get these goodies from SaSa, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, Aeon

 Departmental Store, Hermo, Play-Up by Parkson and Ourshop by

 Airasia.


Let's get right into the swatches!
.
.
.

Canmake Powder Cheek PW41-Antique Rose

So let's talk about what I like about this product. This powder 

cheek blends easily on the skin with literally any base products 

underneath! It gives you that light flush on the cheek with an

 almost matte finish. The powder is very silky but it adheres well

 onto the skin. The brush included is so-so in my opinion, I like 

the brush in their glow fluer cheek better. However, if you are 

looking for a blusher that is able to retain the dewy look, I would 

recommend the cream cheek.
From the swatch in the photo above, you can see that the 

pigmentation is just nice with moderate opacity which is how I like

 my blush to look like.

Normal Price: RM 42.30
.
.
.

Canmake Cream Cheek 16 Almond Terracotta


This! is definitely my favourite blush from their cheek product 

range!

Why? It gives you that natural flush with clear glass skin effect! 

The colour is not too opaque and its gel-type formulation allows the

 natural glow of your skin to peek through the colour of the 

blusher!

I have light to medium skin tone and I always find pinky blusher

 unflattening on me. So, I tend to go for terracotta, coral or 

slightly mauvey colours.

This cream cheek can be easily applied with your fingers and it does

 not only function as blusher. You can also apply this product on 

your lips to give your lips some colouration! Definitely an A++ 

product and very travel friendly!.

Normal Price: RM 40.50
.
.
.

Canmake Glow Fluer Cheek 10 - Terracotta Fluer


This cheek palette is another great product from Canmake! I like how

 they have 4 colours in one palette. I had tried using this as my

 eyeshadow and I love how it turns out. The finish is not mad matte

 but instead a soft satin finish in my opinion. These colours are

 very true to its name - Terracotta. The pearl particles in the

 palette is very fine and it blends onto the cheek naturally with a

 pretty glowy finish.

I just can't get over how gorgeous is this colour combination and 

the finish! The colours will be more subtle as compared to these 

finger swatch. It is very soft and translucent on the cheek. 

Normal Price: RM 45.20
.
.
.

My Final Ranking:

  1. Canmake Cream Cheek 16 - Almond Terracotta
  2. Canmake Glow Fluer Cheek 10 - Terracotta Fluer 
  3. Canmake Powder Cheek PW41 - Antique Rose
*****This ranking is just my personal preference as a reference for you girls who are eyeing on the products!

I hope you enjoy reading my blogpost. I know I am being lazy and 

doesn't upload as frequently as I was. But you can definitely catch 

me sharing my makeup ideas and eye makeups on Instagram.

Maintaining and Cleaning of Contact Lenses

22:58

Maintaining and Cleaning of Contact Lenses




Wearing colour cosmetics contact lenses has become a norm to enhance the look nowadays. We can see that people in the entertainment industries such as the idols and the actors are often spotted with the use of colour cosmetics contact lenses. 



So, here comes the issue. Do you really know how to clean or maintain your eyes and contact lenses? Well I myself searched up the internet and found out that there were actually cases where the eyesight were damaged due to improper cleaning and maintenance of the contact lens. Therefore, I am writing this post today to just remind and also inform you the right way to store and also clean your contact lenses...not only for hygiene purposes but also to maintain the eyesight. 




Dos:

1.    Wash your hands with soap (antibacterial if possible) and water BEFORE touching your contact lenses.



2.    Use fresh contact lens cleaning solution every time.

3.    Rub your contact lenses with your fingers while cleaning (even with “no-rub” contact cleaning solutions), then rinse with fresh cleaning solution.

4.    Rinse your contact lens case with fresh solution, and leave it OVERTUNRNED and OPEN to dry.


5.    Always keep your solution bottle capped.

6.    Follow the instructions on the contact lens cleaning solution, contact lens and also storing solution.


7.    Replace contact lens case every three months.

8.    Always soak your new contact lens overnight before wearing.

9.    Check the life span and expiry date of contact lenses before you wear.

10. Discard dry out contact lenses!


Don’ts:

1.    Do not use saline solution, sterile water, saliva, tap water or rewetting drops to clean your lens (None of these serve to disinfect and clean your lens).


2.    Don’t let your fingernails get in contact with the lenses. (Nails may scratch the lens and hide germs and dirt)


3.    Do not reuse the cleaning and storing solution.

4. Do not clean your lens case with tap water (might contain impurities and microorganisms).


 5.  Avoid wearing contact lenses when you are battling with flu.


6.   Don’t leave your case near the toilet or humid places.

7. Do not sleep with your contact lenses in your eyes.

Last but not least...

Caramel Melange

Zoeva Caramel Melange Palette: The pumpkin colour palette!

01:50

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!
.
.
.
Same as usual some photos.

image source: freepik.com

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

Etude House

Etude House Soft Touch Auto Lipliner: A perfect lip liner for the famous Bbia lipstick no.4 ?!

20:43

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

I've been busy catching up with the assignments and final exams. I'm truly sorry for not being able to update my blog frequently. Now that I'm back at blogging do expect for more blog post :D
.
.
.
.

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.
.
.
.
.
.
It is 0.2g, and comes in this plastic pen style which the product can be twisted up so that you wouldn't need to sharpen it lip the one in the pencil form. 
.
.
.
and this is how it really looks like. I got mine in the shade no.1 Soft Rose.
.
.
.
.
.
The pen is sleek and the cap of this liner closes with a click which make it looks more sturdy.
.
.
.


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.

Left: Bbia last lipstick no.4 Intellective.  
Right: Etude House Soft Touch Auto Lipliner in shade no.1 Soft Rose.
.
.
.
Comments:
  • not drying on the lips, dries into semi-matte and stays for a few hours (tried for 3 hour).
  • creamy texture. Glides onto the lips without tugging. 
  • does not moves around once it's set which is a plus because you won't find yourself becoming a clown after a few hours XD.
  • waterproof but not oil proof.
  • only 0.2g, so it comes in this little amount but for the price I think it is all good. It is $2.60 on the official website. I bought it from Hermo.my which cost around RM11.

Repurchase? Yes!!!!!

Recommend to friends and family. Yes.

Rating: 4/5

I'll update the staying power once I've try for a longer time. Until then. Ciao~
