Tag: Beauty Questions

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:55:55 GMT

meow peeps,

I was reading Sara aka icyabstract beauty blog, and I came across these beauty questions. I am super bored now so here you go...

SKINCARE

1. How many times do you wash your face daily?
Two

2. What skin type do you have?
Oily, Acne-Prone

3. What is your current facial wash?
Esemtan for Face and Body - It's just a normal ph 5 wash prescribe by my doctor. can get it at drugstore.

4. Do you exfoliate?
Yes

5. What brand do you use?
St. Ives Apricot for Blemish and Blackhead control.

6. Is it really important to moisturize?
HIGHLY.

7. How often do you moisturize your face?
Twice. After I cleanse my face.

8. What moisturizer do you use?
Hazeline Snow

9. Do you use sunscreen?
No.

10. What is your favorite skincare line?
SK2

11. Do you give yourself regular facial treatments?
I am avoiding facials right now due to my skin condition. I just did one last month though because I wanted to get a massage, then might as well go for a facial since I'm there.

12. Do you have freckles?
No.

13. Do you use eye cream?
Yes.

14. Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
What do you think? Obvious.

15. Did you ever have to use Pro-active?
Yes, it doesn't work for me.

16. Do you use a mask? And what do you use?
Premier Dead Sea Mask for Problematic Skin, Watson's 5 piece Camomile Mask, Neutrogena Facial Mask, St Ive's Firming Mask.

17. Which celebrity do you think has good skin even without makeup?
Locally it's Fann Wong for sure. Hollywood, I guess Ellen DeGeneres.

18. One skincare routine that is a MUST for you?
Cleansing.

19. Why do you think we should take care of our skin?
You wouldn't want your 20s or 30s to pass just like that with bad skin. This is the time to look the best and make people envious of you, kekekeke.... which is why, I choose to take antibiotics again despite how much I hated to take pills. but the pills worked for me... so, make the best out of your 20s and 30s. You wouldn't want to find a bf at 40 right?

MAKE-UP

1. What foundation do you use?
Revlon Colourstay Liquid Foundation

2. How about concealer?
ZA Concealer Perfection/ MAC Studio Finish.

3. Do you know your undertone color?
Erm... should be yellow.

4. What do you think of fake eyelashes?
They are whoever's greatest invention.

5. Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months?
Ya.

6. What brand of mascara do you use?
Currently, RIMMEL SEXY CURVES. It's sexy...

7. Sephora, drugstore or departmental store?
all three are fine with me. but i prefer to shop at departmental store.

8. Do you use mac?
Of course.

9. What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Please dont' think that I am trying to be funny. Obviously your fingers. You need your fingers to hold the brushes... hahahhaa just kidding. I use lots of eye brushes for my eye makeup. I don't own many face brushes because I feel that one MAC 187 works for me, it does the job of applying foundation, loose powder, blusher and bronzer.

10. Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes

11. For the face?
Yes

12. What is your favorite highlight powder?
MAC Sculpt and Shape Warm Light Definitive (hug hug)

13. Contour?
MAC Sculpt and Shape Warm Light Definitive (hug hug)

MAC Carbon or Coastalscents 88 (black). Black can create all kinds of smokey. Green smokey, blue smokey...

15. Do you line your eyes?
All the time

16. Tightline?
Woo Yeah!!! Many people hate it but I actually love doing it muahaha....

17. Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Pencil.

18. How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
None.

19. What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
Another brilliant invention.

20. Do you use mineral makeup?
Yes.

21. What is your favorite lipstick?
MAC Hug Me.

22. How about lipgloss?
Currently, it's CANMAKE LIP GLOSS.

23. What blush do you use?
I am all about the eyes person, therefore, you would have guess I don't normally use blushers. But if I were to do a 'cool' tone look, definitely MAC PINK SWOON. if it's a bronze look, I just use the top part of my MAC Sculpt and Shape Warm Light Definitive (hug hug).

24. Type or brand or name?
or rather packaging.

25. Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
Never leh.

26. Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes of coz. All my mascaras are from drugstore.

27. Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yes.

28. Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
No. but sometimes I get that time of the day, especially when I am late, where I have problems with blending, applying eye liner and falsies. When something goes wrong, everything else follows, and I normally remove everything and go for my black eyeliner look.

29. Name a makeup crime that you hate?
I have to agree with Sara, ungroomed brows seriously turns me off... I will look at your brows if you are talking to me.

30. Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
Colourful.

31. Can you share a make up trick that you know?
To curl your lashes like really curly muahaha.... squeeze the curler and turn the curler 90 degrees up, and release. Do this for root, middle section and nearer to the ends section. So it's usually 3 curls, and you get pretty curly lashes!

32. Which celebrity always has great make up?
Blair Wardolf actually looks quite good. And Richie Nickel.

33. Can you make a "cat eye" wing?
Yes, faves!

34. If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
Eyeliner.

35. Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
I do that most of the time but I need people to drive me around. Else I probably won't take public transport in that look.

36. Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Not really muahaha... Just have to accept it.

37. In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
In terms of? If you want to talk about packaging, I just got to give it to YSL, they also have the quality. Until now I am still not sure whats so great about MAC but they really got me and I do like their stuffs though. It's probably the range and variety of stuffs that keeps me going back. I love new products, even if it's just looking or owning them.

38. Would you ever consider permanent makeup?
WTF? No.

39. Have you ever work in a cosmetic line?
Hahaha... When Red Earth was still popular, yes.

love,
monmonchichic

August Faves

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:50:06 GMT

meow peeps

This entry is for my subscribers... so as mentioned in the video, here are my August Faves!.
001

Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing and Cleansing Oil.
This thing is super duper lovely... because it brought my MAC 187 back to life. It removes makeup soooo easily and whats important it keeps your skin really clean! Kudos to Mr Uemura...

002

Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler
Well, I don't have to promote this thing as it has been voted many times as the best eyelash curler. I bought it to top my purchases up to $150 so that I can get my free gifts... cheapo me! But indeed, it does curl so much better than the normal ones...

003

Canmake Nudy Glow Lip Gloss in 04

This is my current faves as I m now very into bronzy, sunshine look. Coz that kinda look is damn outstanding with my current hair colour... This is super pigmented, therefore I believe you can skip the lipstick and the lip liner thingy....

004

MAC Prep + Prime Translucent Powder
I got this to set my foundation... It's my faves coz as compared to using MSF, this is so much lighter and best of all, it works for all skin tones. Cheers!

006

MAC Prep + Prime Line Filler Base
This thing is magical. As mentioned, the palm lines of that sales assistant literally disappeared right in front of my eyes. I definitely have to get it as I have tons of fine lines around my eye area.

007

MAC Lustre Lipstick in Freckletone.

This colour is super gorgoues on my bronzy look. So... needless to say more, this is the best colour for me right now. loves!

008

Premier Dead Sea Mask for Problematic Skin

The only excitement I get from this mask is applying them. The highly whipped texture is soo fun to play with, everytime I put on this, I am like applying whipped cream on the cake. The only feeling I get after removing the mask is cleansed and hydrated. These 2 advantages alone are good enough to be my daily mask. loves loves...

009

YSL 'Y' Palette

This shit here is making me cum like multiple times. Muahaha... looking at it alone is pleasures to the eye... from the box to the small tiny brush... It is sooooo GORGEOUS, OMG I can't bear to use it actually...

010

YSL:(left to right) Rouge Pure Shine in Cassis Sauvage 33 (wild blackberry) and Rouge Volupte in Rose Culte 11

This colour looks sooo intense but after applying them, it looks like a pretty prune colour. Awesome texture and best of all, other than the packaging, it smells exactly like its name WILD BLACKBERRY, YSL are way tooo crazy....

This lipstick is so heavy, literally, that I don't feel so bad spending $42 on a lipstick. It feels like I purchased a gold bar with lipstick in it.... I don't know what I am talking about. Kudos to the designer, the top part serves as a mirror, anyway... this colour over here, I have been searching high and low for a INTENSE, HOT PINK LIPSTICK. and Amazingly, it smells like wild blackberry too.... I'm a FAN now. More YSL lipstick to my lipstick rack, thats for sure... HOT!

any product reviews, please drop a tag or msg me at mzxs_83@yahoo.com.sg

love you babies...

review on ZA Concealer Perfection

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:38:29 GMT

Meow peeps,

Aite, thats me with coneealer and foundation on, totally can't tell that i had an outbreak. I have a request to do a review on ZA Concealer Perfection, once again, the good side about it is, in my opinion:

1. covers up really well
2. fix any discolouration
3. fix uneven skintone
4. good for blemish skin

bad side:
1. a bit too small... hope they have a bigger version
2. not so much of a good choice to use it as a undereye concealer (since it is designed for blemish skin, you should choose a concealer with moisture in it for undereye area, maybelline or mac moisture cover)

drop me a tag or msg to mzxs_83@yahoo.com.sg if you want me to do any review on any product (provided I own that product)

love,
the alessandra
