Bargain Finds

Above: Bobbi brown, Below: Elianto

Haven't been out much lately but I did went out with Elisa to meet her customer on Saturday at Gurney Plaza. While walking around, we saw that Elianto was having a sale up to 70% on selected items.

While rummaging through, I found that Elianto's fresh whitening stick foundation was selling at only RM6!
Though I recently bought a Bobbi Brown foundation stick in Warm Ivory, the Elianto one was just too cheap to pass off. At only RM6, it'll be perfect for those places that I'll-need-to-make up-but-I'll-only-be-there-for-a-while functions. Times like those, it's a little heart breaking to pile on the usual expensive stuffs only to have to wash them off less than an hour later. Yes call me 'el cheapo'.

I have not bought an Elianto foundation stick or even the foundation before so I was unsure of it's coverage. Testing the tester on the back of my hand for coverage, it looks good and I'm pleased that the colour suits me, it disappears on my jaw line.

So here's my review on Elianto's Fresh Whitening Stick Foundation;

*gasp*

Usual price : RM 21 (i'm guessing it's about there)
Discounted price : RM6
Weight : 8g
Colour : 03
Coverage : Medium

Pros:

• The coverage is pretty good, I didn't need to use my concealer after applying. It covers my pimples and all nicely.
• Too cheap, too cheap!

Cons:

• There is only one colour left and it's fair. It'll probably suit you if you're a M.A.C NC15 or Bobbi Brown Warm Ivory. Any tanner and it's really not for you.
• If I'm not mistaken, the expiry date is on November 2008! I wish I saw this earlier. T.T
• It feels a little oily, but only very little. It has no oil control so obviously it's going to a little oily after hours and hours running around under the hot sun.

Conclusion : I'm fine with it for now, no regret on buying this other that the expiry date. I'll see if I break out after using this product. I totally love the coverage.


Eye of The Day (EOTD)

Ever notice that nothing rhymes with purple?
Let's call it The Grape Escape.. whatever

Colours used :

Silkygirl eyeshadow in white
SkinFood eyeshadow in 94 (middle eyelid)
NYX ultra pearl mania in purple (closest to eyeliner)

I must admit that I did a crappy job with today's eye shadow and the camera does no justice to how beautiful the colours were. *sigh* But anyway bear in mind that this is taken approximately 10 hours after application with only one minor touch up.

Not to mention, remember how I said I can't pull off purples. Well yea, had a tough time with the NYX's purple, can't apply too much or I'll look as if I've been crying but the colour looks so pretty that I just had to try it!
