Love it or Leave it

Lip combo: Bobbi Brown Lip in Papaya and Lip gloss in Bright Pink. I've been loving this colour combination together. Even though Papaya looks scary on the tube, it is actually a quite everyday appropriate colour.  Papaya leaves a nice stain hours after application, so the colour is never 'gone, gone'. All I have to do is reapply the gloss and I get this lovely neutral pink colour on my lips. Love it! 

Papaya looked scary in the tube, but is so lovely and so is Bright Pink~

I've tried two BB creams lately and one of them was the Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream. I liked the scent and the coverage of this product but I don't love what it did to my skin. It broke me out like crazy. Like most BB cream, it made me look way too pale. Leave it!

When I saw this in other people's Fall luxebox last year I lusted after it... and when I bought it, I was so excited to try it out, only to be disappointed. The Eyeko Liquid eyeliner did not love me. Smudged like crazy and I turned raccoon within the hour. Even though, I've only heard good reviews about this it is most definitely a fail for people with oily lids. To make matters worst, it applied unevenly and therefore made a 2 minutes application take twice as long. Perhaps I got a dud, but I won't be repurchasing another one just to verify if that was the case. Leave it!

When I initially purchased this, I wasn't too fond of using it, but I've since changed my mind. The Guerlain Meteorites Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer is a lightweight base that 'illuminates and conceals' while keeping the face matte. It is lightly perfumed, a fact that I wasn't so crazy about, but like all scent goes away after a while. For me this product was a good makeup base and I was glad it did not make my face greasy. This is a great way for me to 'finish' off the skincare routine and a great 'start' for the makeup to follow. On days I use this primer, my pores are less apparent throughout the day. My skin has just been loving it, drinking it up almost as soon as I apply it over my face :) With the price tag of $78 for 30ml... it better deliver! JK... but seriously... it's expensive and I'd have to think long and hard about getting it when I'm done with this bottle... Love it! 

An accessory I've been loving is the Ipsy January bag. I like this simple looking bag with the detail on the inside. The bag looks small but can fit a surprisingly large amount of things in. Since it is fall, I keep a scarf in the there as well as  Love it! 

Nexus 7, utterly addicted to this device. It's perfect for watching Youtube video, reading books/comics, playing games, surfing and just basically anything you need to do... Think netbook but even more compact and portable. :) It is similar to the iPad mini but for a fraction of the price. Love it! 

One thing I have been LOVING is my purse organizer. In fact, every person I've shown it to, purchased one after. It is just super handy if you switch bags often. I love being able to find my keys or phone when I need it. Without a doubt, Love it! 

That's it for now, until next time!

Bobbi-to-Go Sephora 500 VIB points perk

Good things come in small packages :) I could barely contain my excitement when I found out that Sephora had this awesome little Bobbi Brown to go kit for grabs! I checked my points twice to make sure I qualified and was ecstatic when I got my hands on it.  

It contains almost everything you need on the go:

• 4 lovely neutral eyeshadows (Bone, Heather Mauve, Saddle, Mahogany) first impressions: Bone was a colour that blended into my lid colour, Heather Mauve is as gorgeous in the pan as it is on the lid and Mahogany was an nice warm brown. Did not get to try Saddle yet. All the eyeshadows were very buttery!
• blush (Pale Pink) - first impression: for such a bright colour in the pan, this blush was surprisingly wearable, and I was able to apply it with my fingers, though would prefer using a brush.
• Intensifying Long-Wear Mascara - first impression: what a tiny brush! However, it is able to getevery single lash from root to the very ends. Does not clump and separates lashes very well, but see minimal lengthening or volumizing. Lashes still feel soft with mascara on.
• eye cream, lovely addition to any eye cream addict's collection - first impression: performance of product was neutral, did not find it exceptionally hydrating.

 Ingredient listings for those who are curious:

So overall, I'm super happy with this, and am looking forward to carrying this around with me.
