review: mac brow shader

hi everyone! i just got home from a mac counter and purchased a brow shader. i had been using my canmake one for a while, until my mom stole it! she's suddenly into her brows all of the sudden which is weird because she doesn't wear makeup at all. haha so anyways, i decided t try mac because i've been eyeing it for quite some time now. and i always said when i finish my canmake one, i would use mac =)

so i decided to get the ivorie/ walnut shade. which i think suits my skintone the most. the ivorie which is a highlight shade is beautiful! not too shimmery at all which can look fake when you want to achieve a natural look.

the walnut shade is cool too, because while it seems really dark, it actually goes on really sheer so that you can build up on the color gradually. you will never get those super dark brows with this product!




not much of a difference, but i like the subtle way it fills in the sparse areas of my brows.=) i give this product a 2 thumbs up!

review: shu uemura cleansing oil

i finished my nth bottle of shu uemura cleansing oil and on to a new one! i love this stuff. my HG cleanser for sure. this removes everything from dirt, oil to waterproof mascara. amazing! and what i love most about this cleanser, even though my skin is super squeaky clean, it doesn't leave that tight feeling. my skin just feels clean and refreshed.

my only gripe? the price. it's pretty hefty for a cleanser. but it's tons cheaper in japan and when i went there last year i stocked up. A LOT. 3 bottles! haha but this is my last bottle though=(

so yeah, pretty good stuff. so i suggest everyone to pick one up! =))

haul: dior addict ultra-gloss reflect

hi everyone! i'm so excited because i got three new dior addict lip glosses! i used to be obsessed with these, until i lost ALL my old ones and procrastinated on purchasing new ones until now. i used to be really careless with my makeup, you would not believe it. *sigh*

anyways, i made swatches too in case anyone was curious on how these looked on the lips. =)










i love how shimmery and sheer everything is! i was worried that the micro glitters were going to look tacky, but it doesn't! i would suggest applying a nude lip pencil first because these glosses are extremely sheer
