Reviews: Skin Food Red Bean BB Cream, Revlon Soft Nude lippie, Mustika Ratu Masker Bengkoang

I often mentioned that I'm not a fussy eater and I usually wallop up everything but the one thing I cannot stand are beans and peas. Kidney beans and green peas are the only thing that I will literally spit out each and every one. Was never a fan of Green, red and whatever beans.

The Skin Food BB cream was something I ended drooling for when I saw my sister buying this for her friend in Singapore. I didn't get it till a while later though. Had to get the approval of my "sponsor".

It's been about one weeks since I started using it and so far no breakouts, Thank God. The strange thing was when my sister was buying it in QueensBay Mall and I was with her, the coverage seems thicker but when I got mine in Gurney Plaza, I found out the coverage is sheer. My eyes are staring to play tricks on me!

Not sure is there's an eye problem or is it that the QBM tester was older and started to cake up. Eech!

I was told the Red Bean BB was more on hydrating meaning it's good for people with dry skin. I have oily but dehydrated skin, so what now? I'm confused. But "neediness" got the better of me and I ended up getting it. I reasoned that my BB cream was finishing - It was a lie!

The SF Red Bean BB cream is indeed a little tad oilier. My face is shine-y by 10 hours. Coverage is sheer but build-able. Unfortunately, I fear the more you apply, the oilier it might get. If you have good complexion, this is good for a little glow and coverage. If you need better coverage, you'll need your concealer.

I powder my face after using it and it's actually okay for me. I don't powder my face if I use my Etude House Precious Mineral though. It's a lot thicker and can be cakey if not careful.

I'll continue using it since my skin is getting better now and I'm starting to prefer sheerer coverage and letting my skin show more.

Got a RM10 Parkson voucher and was wondering what to buy when I remembered this. It's been a while but it's still 'Oh so pwetty' to me. Had a slight heart attack when I saw Parkson selling this for RM39 and only 10% off. Ouch! Watson was selling this for only RM32!

After thinking about it, I used the voucher to buy it anyway. *sigh* No more lipsticks for me till next year. Or lipglosses for that matter.

One of the best buys I had for 2010 was Mustika Ratu's Masker Bangkoang! Believe it or not. I initially bought this for RM3.50 and since they recently won some Best Items of 2010 the price has jumped to RM5!

Excuse me while I let out a string of curses! I should have stocked it! Bloody Hell!

Each packet is good for 3 uses!

Mustika Ratu is an Indonesian product. If you're looking for whitening mask. This wins hands down down down! The mask is good! It might smell a little funky if you're not used to traditional herb-y smell.

I got to know about it when I saw my Indonesian colleague's face looking glowing and nice. She gave me a packet to try and I fell in love.

Before that, I search for them online and damn they were expensive, worst, I couldn't find any reviews. It was a plunge I never regretted. I bought the tube of mask this time instead of the packet ones because I wanted to try it out. It contained the Air Mawar (Rose water) and Olive oil meaning we don't have to mix it ourselves and make a mess of everything. In the end, it's no where as good as the packet one. The packet mask has little rough pumice(?) in it to scrub your face with but the tube mask was smooth.

If you decide to try this and not like it, don't blame me. This is just my opinion and I never said I was always right :D

RM15

Last buy of 2010. Contact lenses. This was a total 'Want' and not 'Need'. Sigh. A guilt buy but I promised myself, this is going to last me as long as it possibly can. The i-Dreamy in Grey. It's really dark Grey and natural thanks to the outter black ring. Bought this cheap for RM30 + RM3.50 (shipping) and I got them here.

I don't usually supply links because one way or another I always have problems with the sellers. Defected good, sellers that don't deliver on time, lousy customer service etc but this was the very few times that I had absolutely no problems.

I don't demand a lot, I don't bargain BUT I do ask alot of questions and when I pay for next day delivery, I wanted it delivered out and reach my house in a maximum of 2 days. If I wanted to wait, I would have taken the cheaper postage. If there was a reason you cannot deliver. Tell me. Don't keep me waiting like an idiot.

My make up look for Girly and Hock Yew's wedding, 26th December 2010.

It was a garden wedding so I wore something simple and non fussy. Whee!
