Just couldn't stop starring at those pretty details *_* 

the packaging gave me a luxury laduree cosmetics feels

one of TheCandySkin team members told me they've been choosing the colour again and again for almost half year ! 

here is the colour swatch from left to right 

-04 La Hélénie d’automne 堆心菊 

a warm color pinkish coral color, more suitable on fair skin 

-08 La Ficoïde glaciale 松葉菊

an orangy pinkish color, a very unique colour indeed ! not orange but orangy pink. 

you need to put on foundation & blusher to pull out this look. 

-05La Bruyére 石南

similar & slightly darker if compare to colour 04 , more suitable for office / natural look. 

suitable for every skin tone. 

-10 La Giroflée des jardins 夜紫羅蘭

my favourite ! Dark pink with a hint of purplish! 

suitable for every skin tone too, no matter how casual you wear, a sharp colour lip stick will bring out the entire look!

-08 La Ficoïde glaciale 松葉菊

an orangy pinkish color, a very unique colour indeed ! not orange but orangy pink. 

you need to put on foundation & blusher to pull out this look. 

you can try gradient lip

here I'm using no 04 + no 10, 

the colour turns out very pretty and korean feel too :) 

all the colour is very pigmented and sharp, but before you apply you better make sure your lip conditions is good. This lip stick texture is matte , so if our lip is too dry, the lip line will be kinda obvious.

My suggestion? You can apply a thick layer of Vaseline before sleep. and rub off all the dead skins away the next morning. You're all set for the day! 

Hope you like my review! 

Love,

the texture is really really rich 

spread it out and it seems a little bit too thick? cause I apply too much =x 

i think a lot people may concern about is this serum oily? 

no, not oily at all, just 20 secs the serum just gone! gone into my skin 

and not oily at all, plus our face with lots of pores, it'll absorb faster too

*tips* if you seeking for instant moisture for your face , you can apply this serum and apply a layer of mask on top of it. after 10mins take off the mask and massage the serum gentle again on your face. 

the next day you'll feel your face instantly became watery 0.0 

they call this method as *sandwich method* LOL 

so here is my pores and scar after my pimples =( 

after 2 weeks , my pores is slightly smaller and my pimple scar is recovering already! 

as for nose pores I don't see much result yet, 

maybe too may black heads =x need some times. lol 

*here is a picture that I grabbed from Natta Cosme website *

after 2 weeks of serum, i feel that my skin is glowing? 

when I apply foundation I can also feel the difference too, the foundation last longer too!

DIOR Lip Glow Review

Hi girls ! 

Today I'm gonna review on DIOR BEST SELLER !!!! 

DIOR LIP GLOW ! 

Colour reviver balm ! 

I've heard and saw a lot bloggers from others country keep saying this lip glow is awesome and super recommended , I was like ...hmmm... is this a lip balm or transparent lip stick? I don't really look into it , until that day went to buy Dior fluid stick from the super friendly Mr Zaidi , 

For my Fluid stick review please click here : 

http://valerieyanyan.blogspot.com/2014/04/review-dior-fluid-stick-in-colour-373.html

he recommended lip glow and lip maximizer this to me ,  retailing at RM97 each. 

You can even taobao and search for DIOR, top seller all are Lip Glow 0-0 

it is really surprise , this lip glow is incredibly nice to use lo !!! 

review :

with pretty pastel pink packaging <3 

look pinkish yet transparent 0-0 i guess this is semi transparent? 

when apply it is transparent, after 3 to 5 seconds it automatically changed to pinkish colour depending on your body temperature 

so I apply on the left side of my lip to show you the comparison .

it is a very natural pinkish colour 

I like this Lip glow really really much, especially wen you going out near to buy something at least you can wear this lip glow, not too obvious like lipstick, but yet looking natural , moist and healthy .

yes it is look like a lip balm, BUT remember to use make up remover to remove it, because it came with a little bit colour, so still remove it when u r going to bed =) 

Hope you like my review!

Benefit BigEasy Liquid + powder foundation / Bigger than BB cream Review

Hi gals! Sorry for my I dint post any post on the previous week, 

because I went back to my hometown for 1 week & internet connection was really slow...

can't even watch my favourite running man & the walking dead /_\ 

anyway, I'm back! Here's a review on Benefit new products , 

available @ every Benefit counter from March 2014. 

I got this from Benefit Mid Valley BigEasy party Launching day 

check out my previous post if you haven't 

>> Benefit MidValley BigEasy party  <<

Big Easy in 

-02 fair

 -06 Deep Beige 

BIGGER than BB! Why? Two reasons. First, big easy balances moisture & controls oil. Second, the cushiony liquid-to- powder formula melts in like a cream, yet finishes lightweight & velvety like a powder.

This multi-balancing complexion perfector gives light-to-medium natural coverage to even out skintone and conceal imperfections. Even better, it contains ingredients known to soothe & comfort the skin and help fight free radicals. One & done…big easy saves the day! Non-comedogenic. Oil-free. 

Beauty balancing act! 

Balances moisture & controls oil 

Self adjusts on skin 

Perfects & evens with liquid-to-powder finish 

Protects with broad spectrum SPF 35 to help prevent aging 

BIG results!

97% said it balanced moisture & oil* 

90% said it visibly smoothed & evened out skin texture* 

93% said it visibly improved skin’s appearance* 

100% said it had a lightweight finish* 

above is what I get from Benefit website ,

I'll write my own review at the end of the post =) 

packaging is very vintage /retro style as benefit always be. 

texture is very thick I can say =O 

I'll use 06 deep beige for shading purpose 

my skin conditions 

-skin tone uneven

-eyebags

-dark circles

-big pores

- pimple scars 

and most importantly 

- oily on T zone 

How to apply

Apply to moisturized face with fingertips, blending for an even, natural finish. Pat on more wherever you want to build coverage.

just to let you know,  pictures here I never touchup my skin in PS, NOT-AT-ALL. 

the coverage is awesome , reduced my dark circle and fix my uneven skin tone & also hide my large pores. 

 but somehow I think for people who doesn't really like thick texture foundation is not gonna love this , or if you're looking for Korea-ish kind of foundation that gives you natural star glowing effect this is definitely not your cup of tea . This foundation gives matte finished look . but you can additional add a highlighter on your T zone & cheek for natural glowy effect. 

the good-

The good thing for this foundation is VERY VERY suitable for oily skin people like me!

no base no loose powder my skin can last up to 5 hours + oil FREE. 

it came with SPF35 too, you can wear this out without applying another layer of sun screen and also this foundation coverage is excellent i don't think you need concealer too, for place that you need more coverage just pat more on that spot will do . 

The bad-

selling at RM135 each, kinda pricy for a BB cream/CC cream. 

if the texture can change to something lighter it would be best. I personally don't like thick foundation/ bb cream, feels like my pores are hard to breathe (Maybe I think too much lol) 

the thicker texture that means it's harder to remove. Please ensure that your make up remover is strong enough to remove it. If not it'll block your pores too! 

Hope you like my
