Review on BB creams, my new perfume and other stuff

Hi everyone. Sorry I have not been blogging so often lately. I have been busy, abit lazy and in general i just don't find blogging to be much fun anymore. =( Having said that i do enjoy reading other ppl's blogs like my good friend's blog Li Sze. She has tons of amazing reviews and vids so do check her out!

First, my new perfume and its by Lanvin! I got the exact same one as my friend Ju. We went shopping together a couple of weeks ago and she bought this one. We sniffed it and fell in love. However, I didn't buy it then because I wanted to wait for Marc Jacobs Lola to be launched here. However, the SA told me that Lola will not be on the shelves anytime soon. So i went back there a few weeks later and got it. =) Really like this. It has a light fresh scent. Not too musky. Loves it.


I got this eye shadow set some time ago but I haven't gotten around to posting pictures of it so here it is. It is by 'By terry'. I bought it from Spacenk but you can also find By terry products at Tangs Pavillion although I don't think they stock this shadow set.


Nail color is by NARS Tokaido express. From left to right : A golden shimmery brown, a sparkly emerald color and shimmery nude color (similar to stila kitten).


A new lipgloss from Chanel. Pretty pinky rose color ~


Current obssession : BB creams

I really like how it doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't clog it and yet it gives a flawless finish just like what foundation does for your skin. The 2 brands that I am currently using are BRTC (from Watson's) and Gowoonsesang (from SASA).


Gowoonsesang brightening bb cream. This one has a light fresh scent. This one is supposed to brighten your skin but for me the brightening effect lasts for only 10 minutes and then it is gone. Marketing gimmicks -.-! This one costs 95rm at SASA.


BRTC Jasmin water bb cream. This one has a nice floral smell and thicker in consistency therefore making is slightly more tricky to blend. This costs 99rm at Watson's.


On top is Gowoonsesang and at the bottom is BRTC.



The only downside that I can think of for BB Creams is that they usually only come in one shade. Apparently it will change its color to suit different skin tones but if you look at the picture clearly, you will see that the part where i blended the BB cream is significantly darker than my wrist. =( I am quite pale so the BB Creams are abit too dark for my skin. However, I solved that problem by applying a lighter shade of loose powder on top.


What is your current obsession?
