How to: Make your own Tinted Moisturizer (easy)

I have been told of a tinted moisturizer for quite sometimes, and I know that there is a brand called Laura Mercier with one of their best selling product called the "Tinted moisturizer".

What is a tinted moisturizer?
It is a moisturizer, but the only difference is, it has some color in it. It is quite a skin care foundation that I recognize as. It has a sheer to medium coverage. Laura Mercier came out with few different types of tinted moisturizer to suit different types of skin. 

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is quite pricey in the market, but don't worry, here you can create one of your very own tinted moisturizer and best suit your skin type.

How to: It is simply easy, all you need to do is just use your favorite moisturizer that suit your skin type then add in your concealer with a right amount. Simply mix this 2 products and blend well on the back of your hand, then voila, the mixture is ready to be apply on a cleaned face. 
*P/S: your concealer has to be a liquid form, as liquid form blends easily.

Optional: If you have a translucent BB cream, you can also try it to replace your moisturizer. This is to create a medium coverage tinted moisturizer.
As in this sharing, I am using Loreal Lucent Magique BB Cream & MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer.

A box full of surprises, beauty box

Dear readers, thanks for reading and supporting my blog, I have appreciate it all.

Here I have something to share. Have you guys ever heard about "Glossybox"?

Glossybox is a monthly beauty box, what does it means? It means it is comprises of a different new beauty products (from head top toes) in a box. Glossybox first known is from the UK, then it started to expand it business to US. I was wondering does Malaysia has something like that ?

Luxury Products from Glossybox

Glossybox


Here I have found something similar in Malaysia, feel so excited to share about these amazing beauty box with all the girls in Malaysia.

How to apply ? All you need to do is just click in the links that you wish to go for (Box Culture or Modbox) the subscribe with the package that you prefer, and that is it. You're done and wait till the send the surprise to your door steps. Isn't it simple?

If you are a person who likes to try out some new products and not ready to spend a full price, then this is suitable for you. To me, is worth to invest a little for these products. Like in glossybox, you only pay a little and enjoy all full-sized beauty products (some of it might be from a super brand). So is worth to try and enjoy the goodies that these boxes brings you.

Cosmobox from Box Culture, this is the Malaysian "Glossybox". It contains all the beauty products as Glossybox does. Check out more with the provided link.



Available in Malaysia - Cosmobox by Box Culture

Modbox, is another box that provide beauty product from head to toe too. Check out more.

Updates: Recently I have discover a new "box of surprise" which called "Wonderbox" and it works the same as the other 3 boxes i have shared above.



Sometimes I do really feels these boxes are pretty convenient, as it can be given as a gift to surprise a friend at her/his doorstep, really good though.

It is really a good idea to have such a box with many different beauty products in it. Sometimes when I was wonder of trying a new product from a specialty store, is quite an amount to pay for a full bottle, and later when we found out it is not working well as it advertised on myself, it is really pain in the ass, because we pay that much for a full bottle and yet, not suitable to use and continue, it is really a waste. This idea "beauty box" allows me to invest a little money, get a good size of samples and try out 1st before we pay for the full size one, isn't it great. Moreover, it contains more other beauty products too.
So what are you waiting for, subscript now and enjoy your monthly surprises.

The subscription for these 4 boxes are almost similar, and there are different package for you to choose, just simply subscribe and you will receive a monthly surprise with these boxes.

For some reason, I do really like the Glossybox compare to the other 3 boxes in Malaysia. I do hope that these 2 boxes in Malaysia can provide more product as for what we have pay off in the future.

Good Luck ~

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10

A foundation that never melt/smear easily.

Pros about this foundation:
1. It has a good coverage
2. long time wearable
3. easy to apply ( a small amount is enough to apply on my face)
4. does not has a very strong scent
5. I personal think, it even can replace concealer.
6. Waterproof, you even can wear it to swim, I believe
7. not easy to stick on or left on your boyfie's shoulder on the shirt.
8. texture is thick, not very watery but it is a liquid
9. It has many shades for you to choose

Cons about this foundation:
1. It is very thick and super waterproof so might think of that the pores on face might unable to breath.....
2. In removing it, MUST remove it thoroughly, otherwise it might clog your pores.
3. It may be drying out your skin if your skin is dry (not really suitable for dry skin)

Overall rating: 3 stars
Overall comment: to me, I like the fact that it is very wearable for a long time, you no need to touch up your make up so frequently, and it can be wear while swimming. It has a very strong coverage and even can replace concealer.

**If you have a dry skin, you can choose : Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10
Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10 texture is a bit oily (like cream)

Beauty skin care tips

Daily facial routine:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Eye care
4. Essence
5. Moisturizer
6. Sun block (for AM only)

if you feel that you are not going to follow the complete routine but at least you MUST:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Eye Cream
4. Moisturizer


I just know that eye cream is important in our daily facial routine. Why does it important.
Do you know that facing the monitor/PC for along time; blinks you eyes will cause wrinkles & fine lines on your eyes? This is because your eyes get dried out and tired, that is how wrinkles form.

Eyes tips:
Facing monitor?PC for a long time > eyes feel tired > keep eyes away from monitor at least 5 minutes (exercise your eyes / closed your eyes) it should help your eyes to release tiredness and dryness.

Applying skin care technique:
Apply upward or sideward for skin care avoid eyes area.
Eyes use eye cream and using dab technique to apply it.
(* Note: skin around the eyes is thinner than other area of the face)

Makeup foundation:
1. Squeeze some amount as needed on the back of the hand, spread well, use your finger spread it on the face then use your hand or brush or applicator to apply and blend the foundation well onto the face.
Way to apply foundation is apply downwards, you may apply with a applicator e.g.: brush
(*Note: to create a more nature look, you may apply loose powder / finishing powder to set the foundation & finish the look)

Biore Makeup Remover for Eye and Lip


Today's review is on the Biore Makeup Remover for eye and lip.
Biore makeup remover, it came out in many different type of texture and form.
The wipe form, the oil form, the 2 layers liquid form (which is the one I am reviewing) and etc.
Anyway, the remover for me, it is just like the Loreal 2 layers makeup remover it has the same texture and
effects.
It dissolve the makeup well (heavy or light) and even water proof mascara too.
Somebody saids that this product works like the Lancôme Bi-facil. I haven't use Lancôme before, so I have no idea on it.
But anyway, it is a drugstore product and you can get a good result with the money you pay. So overall I am satisfy with this makeup remover.
Thanks for reading and support. I will try more products and review them to you guys.
Below are some shots of the Biore makeup remover.
