Best value for money eye makeup remover


I use makeup most of d days. It makes me feel complete. And to ensure long lasting makeup, I use waterproof products.
In the end of the day... Removing it is a chore... Having d right remover can really make a difference, esp the eye area. If you're the type that wears smokey or gothic makeup thru out d day...u know removing all those black grime takes a toll on ur sensitive eye area.

Using cheap drugstore eye makeup remover isn't all bad if u rarely wear makeup everyday. But, if u do.... The repetitive swiping motion can really irritate the skin and eye.
So, using a good brand like Christian dior is definitely d best, as one swipe can take off any black smokey gunk a la avril lavigne. But imagine using it everyday. An expensive bottle may not last long at all.

So, a value for money choice for me would be Mary Kay eye makeup remover. At rm60 per bottle, 110ml...the product is amazingly gentle on ur eyes. Removing power is almost as good as high end brands too.
I have sensitive eyes, n I wear contact lenses, so whenever I use drugstore brands, I end up with red eyes...panda like effect under my eyes. Basically looking mcm org gila.

So... I discover Mary Kay product doesn't give me this after effect at all. Do try if you wear waterproof makeup everyday, and looking for a good eye makeup remover that is affordable.
Bdw, I have few extras if you want to try at good price, contact me.

Best Foundation For Asian?

I am one of those people not blessed with good skin.... remnance from teenage acne scars, pock marks, uneven skin, undereye dark circles.... u name it.

Which is why I feel not so 100% confident when I go out without at least an light foundation coverage. And finding the perfect foundation for asian skin like mine aint easy. You need to tweak it with darker foundation or bronzer to give it a healthy look. Else, if you like looking pale...well... what can I say.... every one has a preference.

I like mixing my foundation to get my perfect color match. Requires deft hands tho...
So, talking of brands.. I am not loyal.... I like trying out new stuff.... exploring...
Here's my experiment with Lancome Teint Miracle (very light)  + Mary Kay Foundation (dark)
Lancome latest liquid foundation has absolutely great coverage and natural feel. Your skit will look smooth and flawless! May that's why Kate Middleton wore it on her wedding day. The problem is, it oxides to a white grey cast... and that looks not good on tanned skin like ours. Their dark or medium dark still oxides to a whitish grey after a while.

Whilst Mary Kay liquid foundation offers better color tone for the dark skinned. The problem however, the coverage isn't that great. It doesn't offer any special reflective agents that make skin glows of look flawless.

So, when mixed these two... I was hoping to get the best of both worlds.... Well... see the result for your self below:

Before with nothing


With frontal flash on
Yes, in realife... it looks pretty good and healthy... as if I got glowing skin.. but careful with full frontal flash on... bcoz like any other foundation with corrective reflective ingredients .. it tends to look white. Nonetheless, I'd say the look is very fresh.. like you dun really feel the heavy makeup... the coverage is full but, you don't look powdered down like going to an Oscar party.... you get what I mean?

So, try mixing your foundation... you never know... you might get the best foundation for your self.... DIY
