I love UV gel very very veryyyyy much, because they're very very long lasting and the glossy surface is so awesome! But , the only problem is it is very hard to remove by our own ,
previously I've did UV nail once back in few years ago , so I went to another nail shops to ask them remove for me, they charged me RM70 just to remove the UV gel !!!! -_- 

until last week my blogger friend Janice came to my house and I saw her nail is very pretty, 
and she told me her pedicure+manicure + nail art is only RM80+ !! 
I was shocked ! Best of all , the price was included remove UV gel on our next appointment as well !!!

Tutorial on how to create a Natural Brown Eyes Make Up

Hi ladies! 

Are you still using black eyelashes and black contact lens while you're having brown hair? 
then you're outdated!
 I believed everyone have a pretty nice coloured hair nowadays, but why still stick to traditional black eyelashes and black contact lens? 
Have you noticed nowadays Japanese and Korean starting to put on natural make up? 
 No more thick black dramatic false eyelashes and eyeliner . 

Today I'm gonna share my thoughts & how to get a natural Brown eyes make up! 



Firstly we need to prepare :

- Brown false eyelashes 
-Brown eyeliner 
-Brown contact lens 

I got this pretty Taiwan false eyelashes from JBtalk.com  

RM15 for this set 
8 different top lashes and 2 different bottom lashes. 

super deal yeah? After I posted the brown eyelashes on my Instagram (Valerieyan7) 
a lot of you asked me where did I get my eyelashes from. 
so here is the link & the contacts :

Link : 
(the thread is in mandarin) 
contact :
016-6690124 (she prefer to use wassap) 


OR 

You can purchase from Taobao if you willing to wait . 
Price is around RM8 for a box only (haven't including shipping of course) 
Just type 棕色假睫毛 in Taobao.com and you can see plenty's of them. 
But oh well, downside is you need to wait for around 2 weeks or more to reach your doorstep. 
and I know how it feels while waiting for a parcel -_- 
I'd rather get it from the seller above and pay a little bit extra .
.
.
.
Some of you might ask , ''such a cheap eyelashes I don't think is really comfy. ''
nope you're wrong. 
this eyelashes is handmade from Taiwan, 99% Taiwanese girl is using this brand. 
they have over hundreds type of eyelashes to choose from. 
The lashes might not as soft as DollyWink or others expensive lashes. 
but look back the price we paid, 

DollyWink  2 pairs = around RM50
Taiwan Handmade eyelashes 10 pairs = RM15 . 

you do the maths :P 
If you have the budget well sure go ahead, as long as the result satisfied you right =D 

Contact Lens I'm using is 
EOS Bubble Brown
I've purchased few brown contact lens to see which one is the best. 
So, this is the perfect natural brown ring with enlargement effect and without the black ring . 
Simple yet nice. 

Link : 


If you're looking for cheaper one you can visit Time Square G floor ,
There's one of the shop are selling the same contact lens too for only RM35 (3months) , 
as for authentic or not , 
I can't guarantee . But if you're using it for shooting few hours, I think shouldn't be a problem :D 


Lastly, eyeliner. 
Brown Eyeliner you can get it from many different brands, 
Etude house, MAC , NARS , Elianto ,  Dolly wink,  The skin food and many more. 
from cheap to expensive brands . 
Personally I like DollyWink eyeliner, 
easy to draw and waterproof but yet easy to remove with make up remover. 
price at around RM40 ++ . You can get it from SASA . 


How to : 
1)put on brown contact lens 
2) take a brown earth colour eyes shadow apply at the end of your eyes 
and a highlight at the middle- front of your eyes. 
3)apply a thin brown eyeliner and drag till the end of your eyes and lift up a bit . 
4)put on brown eyelashes 
and this is how natural brown eyes look like! 

(outdoor natural light) 

Hope you like my review + simple short tutorial ! 
Leave me a comment if you have any doubts :D

Love,

• No added flavor or fragrance
• Hydrates and moisturizes lips, leaving them feeling soft and smooth

Featured Ingredient
Shea Butter — Shea Butter helps to hydrate and moisturize dry lips leaving them feeling soft and smooch-worthy smooth.

Enriched with conditioning Jojoba Oil and Kendi Oil, which are chock full of Omega 3 to hydrate and moisturize lips. And don't forget the Shea Butter for an extra dose of moisture.

Sedona Sands - A nude color as well but with a hint of pink

Redwood Forest - A red with a hint of brown undertone , this colour look matured on me
Napa Vineyard- A strong chilli red colour that makes you stand out from the crowd 

due to the indoor lighting in the cafe is slightly worm so the colour not so accurate no matter how I adjust the lighting in photoshop. 
strongly suggest to try out their lip colours at their counter and beauty adviser will recommend what colours you should take :D


Hawaiian Smolder is my favourite shades among all, 
it looks good & sweet on fair skin.

One of the star products from Burt's Bees! 
Burt's Bees Squeezable Beeswax lip balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint! 

It’s the original Beeswax Lip Balm you love—just squeezable. This version of our classic balm is softer and smoother, with a slanted tip for precise application. Our 100% natural formula contains moisturizing Beeswax and Vitamin E to keep lips soft and replenished—and, of course, a splash of Peppermint for that signature tingle.

• Inspired by an original! Introducing Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Lip Balm, now in a tube for consumers who prefer a smooth, softer, moisture-rich feel.
• This new lip balm delivers all the benefits and experience of our classic beeswax, just made squeezable

Product weight : 7g


Price:

It's a very thick and oily beeswax for lips that needed special care , especially sensitive lip like me , I would recommend to apply a thick layer every night before you sleep for deep moisturise and hydrate effect just like a lip mask . 
if you wear it on day time I'm afraid it's a bit over oily :) but all depends on individual .

First impression : look normal & I dint expect much honestly. 
BUT ... BUT ... BUT ...
It's totally over my expectation from the first try on my face. 
 I couldn't stop using it now
 and I am using it EVERYDAY. 
I've using it for the whole month, me and my family can see a huge change of my skin. 
I've been changing and using all different skincare brands and this definitely gonna be  in my top 3 list .
  why say so? 

packaging is very simple, I hope they can make the packaging more attractive.



First I'm gonna review is 

Skin Essentials
Eye & Lip Makeup Remover (100ml)
RM49

The Neesya Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is a gentle, bi-phase Makeup Remover. It is specially formulated for 3 key actions: 
Whisks off stubborn, waterproof make-up without rubbing or aggravating the delicate eye contour and lip area 
Helps prevent anti-aging with Sunflower Oil, Vit A, C, E, and Pro-vitamin B5 
Conditions and hydrates the skin 

Unlike other & lip makeup removers which just strip off everything - sometime a little too harshly - this gentle but effective makeup remover leaves the eyes area perfectly clean and soothed.
This gentle, bi-phase Make-Up Remover is specifically designed to whisk off stubborn, waterproof make-up without rubbing or aggravating the delicate eye contour and lip area. Enriched with Sunflower Oil for anti-aging benefits of Vit A,C and E. Pro-vitamin B5, conditions and hydrates the skin leaving the eye area perfectly clean and soothed.

My thoughts about NEESYA Eye&Lip makeup remover 
It does remove my make up easily but for those waterproof & long lasting products does require few swipes , overall is good just that I hope they have another type of make up remover which is without oil and instantly remove all make up at once so I won't need to carry 2 different type of make up remover :) 

Pros
- just 1 swipe all my foundation, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil are totally gone.

Cons
-waterproof mascara and ysl long lasting lip stain need double or triple swipes only managed to take off. 
- need double cleanse to remove the oils away 



LumiScience°®
Illuminating Essence (65ml)
RM129

Bio­‐technologically derived yeast proteins, fortified with minerals of diamond, mother of pearl, turquoise and opal, help smoothen, refine skin texture, and promote skin radiance.

Applied twice daily, fatigued, dull, uneven toned, dehydrated skin regains its glowing radiance.


My thoughts about Nessya Illuminating essence : 
This is the BEST essence I've ever used ! Even better then SK II If you ask me. 
It just prefect for my combination -oily skin ! I apply every morning and night , every next morning I can feel my skin is getting better & better . 

PROS 
-SUPER awesome awesome awesome result 
- absorb into skin very fast 
- skin tone more even 
- gave me radiance

CONS

Lumi°®
Brightening Enzymatic Refiner (75ml)
RM69

An effective leave-on exfoliant enhances the appearance of skin clarity, even tone and radiance. Formulated with papain, this gentle enzyme efficiently lifts away lifeless skin cells to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion and encourage cell renewal. Extract of Silver Vine Extract and AlphaMelight™ complement the exfoliation process with skin brightening effects, while Pro-Vitamin B and aloe extract restore hydration to help skin regain its glowing vitality. 

How To Use
Smooth an even layer of over cleansed, dry skin. Ensure even coverage over the face and neck. Apply a thicker layer over stubborn dark spots. Massage lightly in a circular motion for about 30 seconds and leave on for another 3 minutes. Before rinsing off, wet your fingers and gently massage to soften. Rinse thoroughly. Use 1 – 2 times a week for optimum brightening effects.

My thoughts about Brightening Enzymatic Refiner 
I've never use a refiner before, mostly in the market are selling scrubs , but for thin skin people like me 
if use scrubs is too harsh , so I barely use any scrubs. But this refiner is something very similar to scrub and very very gentle to my skin,the feelings is just like apply a layer of mask and massage gently for about 30 minutes leave on for 5-10 minutes , use a wet cotton and remove the refiner, lastly rinse off. 

PROS 
-giving the same effect as scrub ,but this is WAY more gentle .

CONS 
- no? everything is good about this refiner : D


Lumi°®
Brightening Overnight Mask (75ml)
RM99

An intensive overnight treatment mask formulated with Silver Vine Extract and AlphaMelight™. Contains concentrated dose of brightening complex to help diminish skin discoloration, revitalise complexion and restore skin hydration while you rest. Recharges tired skin with essential moisture and anti-oxidants to help skin regain it suppleness, vitality and youthful glow.

My thoughts about NEESYA Brightening overnight mask
one of the BEST sleeping mask! For people who lazy like me, especially tired from work, just apply a thick layer and jump to the bed ! 

PROS 
-convenient ! 
-giving me a brightening , hydration and smooth skin every morning.
-It dint leave any oily or sticky feels after 1 or 2 hours. 

CONS
- slightly sticky on the first 1 or 2 hours .

my fully naked face without any photoshop (add watermark only) & make up camera touch up. 
totally original naked face. 



Me with my recent favorite skin care NEESYA . 
This is really a good brand , everything is beyond my expectation , I'm really glad Malaysia can produce this awesome brand. I'm going to get it from The Mines counter after I finish the whole set !
-from the bottom of my heart-

Hope you like my review!

Love,

REVIEW - Poreless acne fighter natural mask by THE CANDY SKIN

Hi ladies! 

Today I'm gonna review on this cute pore less acne fighter natural mask by 
The Candy Skin ! 

RM49.90 

Recently my hormone changed and my skin conditions is getting better and better , 
but still redness & pores is still the same, redness is due to my face skin is very thin and pores is due to last time have any knowledge on skin care so my pores getting bigger & bigger : / 

still looking for products to make my pores smaller ,
here I received this Natural mask from my friend,  one of the founder of TheCandySkin ,
the mask came with a super cute pink packaging, it just like a dessert! 


Product Story 
Natural mask is a great idea helps tighten pores, firmer and smoothen skin, as well as reduce acne, acne scars, redness and less breakouts . The clay powder is naturally found and organically mined from ancient deposits deep within the atlas mountains . This extraordinary mineral-rich clay is extracted n large clods, then it gets washed, sun-dried and micronised into a smooth powder. 

*came with a spoon! so cute!!! * 

A great mask is an integral part to any good skincare routine. Face masks help to rejuvenate , detoxify , draw out impurities, accelerate cell renewal, righten, hydrate , smooth and soften skin. With regular use, face masks leave skin glowing and looking its best. Thecandyskin formulated this great natural face max, filled with high-quality ingredients to get the job done. 

the powder is really really fine & smell is just like a natural herbs , 


Ready all the tools you need :
-mask bowl , brush , purifying water / toner 
OR Thecandyskin Rosey Dream mist to have a great effect.  

Scoop 2 or 3 spoons for mask. You may adjust the amount of the size you need. 



*Professional skincare tips : 
IF you have dry skin, add a tablespoon honey or moisturiser, stir well.
IF you have oily skin, you may add a few more drops of lemon instead. 

For me I will use my toner to replace tap water and mix with the powder, it helps smoothen my skin! 


Stir and mix well then put on your face. Leace it for 10-15min, 
spray some mist if you want the mask stay longer. 


After applying this mask, your face will become tighten, amazing whitened, pore less, good oil balancing. It is great to match with their brightening serum. 


Bonus tips : 
after deep cleansing mask you can use cotton pad soak with your toner and leave it for the area that you concern for 10minutes OR apply another sheet of moisturise mask , 
this step will helps your skin more radiant and moisturise !
This is what I'm always do after deep cleansing mask, very Effective ! 
Try it and you'll love it for sure!  


after the mask redness reduced and gave me a very refreshing feels , as for pores tighten I don't think so fast can see the result yet, maybe need to apply few more times :) 


Looking for natural poreless & acne mask you can try this :) 
suitable for pregnant & sensitive skin too! Because it is very gentle and using all natural ingredient . 

Hope you like my review! 

Love,
ValerieYan
