Makeup of the day #MOTD featuring Tarte Holiday Set 2014 (Bon Voyage and Pin Up Blush)

I actually wanted to do a review for my Bourjois haul at Watsons last week but after putting on my face with all the skincare products, the foundation was melting right away. I think it was just too heavy and with the sensitive skin i am, yes i could not proceed. I then removed my makeup using the makeup remover and applied the Sendayu Tinggi Doll skin foundation. This stuff is amazingggg... i didn't have to set it with powder at all because it's just look sooo flawless and matte. I am not a fans of full coverage foundation and this foundation just even out my skin without covering my natural skin too much.

So let's see how i first time using my Tarte Bon Voyage and Tarte Pin Up Girl Blush Palette. I will not do the swatches of everything because so many swatches have already done out there.

What i used for my makeup:

• Tarte Bon Voyage eyeshadow palette
• Tarte Lipsurgence lip tint in romantic
• Tarte Lipsurgence lip gloss in visionary
• Sendayu Tinggi Doll Skin Foundation in #01-very cute
• Essence eyeshadow base
• Sephora mineral compact powder - #30-medium
• Innisfree no sebum mineral pact
• Nature republic eyebrow pencil (brown) 
• Large powder brush
• Style master brushes

What it claims on the Bon Voyage packaging

To the ingredient concious

What's inside

I had no choice but to cut and stick the blush's name on my pin up blush palette. Did this on the eyeshadow palette as well

What it claims and ingredient

And the result

My notes:

• Pigmentation of the Tarte eyeshadow are good although not as smooth as Urban Decay palette
• The color stay and did not smudge at all (with the help of eyeshadow base)
•  Does not irritate your eyes
• The blusher is very buttery and smooth
• Colors are nice and stay put for hours
• Benefit mascara is awesome!! (Birthday gift from Sephora)
• Lipsurgence really moisturize my lips and the color stay for quite long even after a few sips of drink
• Application of cream foundation using beauty blender gives super natural and flawless finish

I was super excited to try the Tarte products and i must say that i am very satisfied with my purchases. Thank you Tarte for an amazing Holiday set and now i am broke..hahah. Still lot more products in my mind actually haiyaa..

Till later..Salam

Doll Skin Foundation Sendayu Tinggi Review

Doll Skin Foundation by Sendayu Tinggi. OMG what a great product. I just bought it last week at Watsons and already used it couple times. Price is RM34.20 after discount. The normal price is RM38.00. This product although looks similar to any other beauty cream but this one feels slightly lightweight. Easily blended as long as you wear moisturizer before for smoother application. I have tried Meiko before but that one really made me sweating like hell. It was just not my kind of foundation because i have a dry sensitive skin and heavy cream product just won't do it. They provides 3 shades, 01 Very Cute, 02 So Sweet and 03 Too Pretty. I chose the lightest 01 because i think this one match my skin better when i swatches it on my hand.

 This is the new packaging (so soo cute)

What it claims

The ingredients

How it looks

The swatches

Closer look

It just matched perfectly after blending

 Added some more to the outer of my hand

Pros:

• cute packaging
• lightweight
• coverage wise is good to those who love natural complexion 
• build-able to full coverage 
• skin feels smooth
• small amount needed
• it absorbed instead of only cover the skin
• does not clog your skin
• matte finish (no need to put powder)

Cons:

• it is a little bit patchy if you are in an air conditioning
• can be slightly drying to those with a dry skin type (works really well with oily skin)
• contain paraben

My tips:

• always use a moisturizer for a smoother application
• use sponge instead of brush because it will leave a brush stroke
• buy the 03 Very Pretty shades as this one will match any skin color (bought and tested to my dark skin friend)
• put only 5 or 6 dots to your skin as it will leave very natural looking
• put more than 6 dots will leave you a full coverage finish
• to avoid looking cakey, use large powder brush to apply the powder as it will mattify your skin naturally

Overall i think this is a must try product for everybody and no wonder they always been out of stock. Reviews are based on my opinion only. I hope it helps.

Till later loves!

Watson Haul: Sendayu Tinggi, Essence and unnamed brand

I have been very into shopping lately. It just make me happy and i know you guys know what i mean right (the beauty junkie dilemma). Quick update: I have a job already and so far i feel pretty good. It is in the middle of Kuala Lumpur city and during lunch i get to window shopping around there. They have everything and for the first time i saw Sendayu Tinggi cosmetics at Watsons, Semua House. I just fell in love with their products instantly especially the Doll Skin Foundation which has been raved for quite some time now.


Recently purchased:

 Doll Skin Foundation Sendayu Tinggi RM38 10% off = RM34.20

Liquid Concealer ST (Code 01, Vanilla) RM25 10% off = RM22.50

Essence I love Stage Eyeshadow Base RM14.90

Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil (05) RM11.90

 Essence I love Extreme Volume Mascara RM15.90

I also bought very large powder brush at small shop in front of the Watsons. It is a very good brush, large and soft. Price = RM40. For me i won't mind the brand, as long as the product is good and pretty high quality why not right.

I will do a separate post about my opinion for each of these products because yeah they deserve them. Till later.
