Review : ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer

I got this quite a well ago for around RM10 (although this is only $3 in US), well still very cheap for a eye primer. This is my first eye base. When I bought it, I have not much expectation on this item, after all price is so cheap. So I just buy to try it.

This is in Sheer Colour

Note : This is made in China! Does this mean that this should be available in Shenzhen, then I shall be able to picked it up in Shenzhen?

The brush applicator

Yes I do feel the texture is creamy and feel a bit oily when I first applied. However after I rubbed and tapped in gently, its perfectly absorb into my skin. As if I don't have anything is applied on my eyes.

Remember to use only a little bit as we only apply on our eyes area.


Well, I am going to put ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer to test.

This is my look on one of my working day, nicely makeup because there is a function to attend at the hotel.

My eyes makeup of the day

I put a thin layer of ELF Mineral Eyeshadow before I do my makeup, note here I'm just using low range eyeshadow from I Nuovi which the colours are not lasting. However I mix a little bit of blue eyeshadow from my Lunasol's Dazzling Night pallette.

After 12 hours, my eyes makeup are still staying and does not crease at all, although I went out for lunch under the hot sun without umbrella (How bravo am I!) and attended function in the night.

So my conclusion would be , while ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer does not enhance the colour of the eyeshadow but it does a good job from preventing my eyes makeup from creasing and the colours stay on so well! A product that are worth very dollar, so girls out there, if you have not try any eye base/primer at all, this is the most affordable product for you to start with!

Pros : Make colour on eyeshadow long lasting, eye makeup does not crease , price are worth every dollar.

Cons : Cant think of any at the moment !

FOTD : Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Planet Cat Palette

For today special event aka my baby's birthday, I am taking out the precious Shu Uemura Limited Edition Cat Planet Palette from the Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato's Collection. Let's take a look of my makeup with this pair with my other cosmetics :)

For the Eyes

Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Planet Cat Palette
ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Premier
Clinique Lash Power Mascara (Click here to read the review)
I Nuovi Browcake (Compact Eyebrow Colour) in Oak
Shu Uemura Painting Liner M Night Blue (gel eyeliner)

For the Face

Paul & Joe Moisturizing Foundation Premier SPH 12 PA+ in 02
Clinique Super Moist in Fresh Beige No 63
Nars in Super Orgasm blusher
Shiseido Macquillage Finish Powder in Translucent
Stila Convertible Color (Dual Lip & Cheek Cream) in Peony (Click here to read the review)
Stila Plumping Lip glaze in Berry Mint (Click here to read the review)

I applied the Shu Uemura Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Planet Cat Palette black eyeshadow at the outer of the eyelid, then gold on the middle eyelid and silver colour on the front eyelid. That goes the same at the lower eyelid. The eyeshadow colours no doubt is very pigmented and I only applied lightly.

And I think the gold eyeshadow is a kinda of weird combination in the palette, as the colour is slightly a bit warm compare to the other two cool colours. I still trying to see how to use the palettes into good use.

I must tell you that Shiseido Macquillage Finish Powder damn nice, very smooth and of course my makeup last whole day. Love it to maxxxxx !!!

My full look

EOTD: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

I got this I Nuovi Starstruck eye shadows pallete from Inuovi's warehouse sale last month for free, as I purchased more than RM50 and above.

The Ugly Truth - my eyes with dark eyes circle ( which makes me looks like a panda!)

And I have been thinking long how to makeup my my eyes looks bigger others than wearing colour contact lens that make my iris looks bigger which give my eyes dolly effect. Especially when the colour lens are so expensive now! Unless I buy cheap Korean brand contact lens which has no guarantee of health to my eyes.. which I still buy it for the fun!

Kindly excuse me.. I know this makeup is not perfect, I'm still practicing it !

I named this eyes makeup as Smoke Gets in Your Eyes because like it is as if my eyes are on fire and the effect of the eyeshadow came from the smoke !

Don't you think so too ?

The only thing I do is blend, blend, blend !!!!!

Blend until you are satisfy with the outcome.

So this is my makeup version of making my eyes looking bigger without any contact lens.

I am using mainly black, grey and white eyeshadow from the palette to come out with Smokey eyes of my version. I applying a layer of Shu Uemura's gel eyeliner on top of my eyelid only together with Clinique Lash Power Mascara.

What do you think?

I know I still need to blend it properly..

So now I need to start to learn to blend.blend.blend.

Review : Tsuya Tsuya Gel Eyeliner

Here is my second review on Tsuya Tsuya Gel Eyeliner. The eyeliner comes in 3 colours for you to choose Coal Black, Tanzanite Purple in Shimmer and Cedar Brown in Shimmer. And the product is made in not locally made by in Korea!

Here are some information of the products on the box

This is the gel liner set that comes with the brush.

The colour that was given to me is Cedar Brown in Shimmer




The swatch

I think its quite easy to use, though the brush is a bit too soft for my liking. However I just started to learn how to apply gel liner and upgraded from using pencil eyeliner! So probably I need to practice more. And once you start to use gel eyeliner you never turn back !!! Believe me !

Pros :

1) Its waterproof and smudge proof as I tried to rub it off from my hand with water.
2) Colours is shimmering and stay on for the whole evening after applying it.
3) Most importantly it comes with cap for the brush which make it hygienic and !

Cons:

1) Brush is a bit too soft for my liking.
2) Texture a bit soft, and you may need to brush on a few times before applying.

Currently this Beauty Eye Pack (which consist of Gel Eyeliner & Eye Brush) selling at RM79.

Haha~ I felt that my eyelashes looked like the camel's eyelashes ! And when I asked my bf to measure the eyelashes after application, I was shock when he told me 18 mm!!!!

Imagine I continue applying it a few more layers , what is the maximum length that my eyelashes can hold ? Hmm... I shall try it one fine day ! Haha...

Camwhore time !

p/s : With the mascara and the extended lashie, my eyes look so much "ALIVE'! Please excuse myself with the dramatic expression, haha I have to suit the dramatic eyelashie lol!

Pros :

1) Extend your eyelashes effectively without the need of putting fake eyelashes and your eyes look big like barbie doll's eyes. This is so good to me as I'm do not know how to put on the fake lashies properly which is very troublesome in my opinion!

2) The extended lashie looks real and feel real to me, most importantly it looks natural.

3) Contains Pro-Vitamin B enriched formula to enhance the natural appearances of your lashes by conditioning and providing the nutrients for them to grow long and lustrous.

4) Easily to be cleaned & removed by eye makeup remover.

Cons :

1) Time consuming to apply it, need to practice and have few application of the above steps to achieve the result you wanted.

2) Fibers may drop into your eyes and get irritation and your dressing table might get dirty if you are not careful like me!

3) Eyes got heavy & tired easily after few hours for some people.

4) A bit pricey compare to normal mascara ( Well normal mascara not comparable this, this is magical !)
