Easiest No Makeup, Makeup Look Tutorial

Hi Beautiful, 


We all agree that sometimes we want to look "Au naturel" and still super gorgeous  but you know due to the environment and our lifestyle we might have some problem with dark circle, blemishes and so on.We can cheat a little bit and do something to our face to look like we wearing no makeup at all. But still have that glowing fresh young skin. To achieve this look, depends on how comfortable you are, you can definitely just slap on tinted mosituriser, BB, CC or dont even bother to put any foundation at all. The key point here : 

#1 No thick makeup foundation, sheer foundation just to even out skin tone and very thin layer. 

#2 You can use concealer to correct your skin tone around eye area, and maybe just a natural colour like brown to give a depth to your eyes but remember, we want it to be invisible, so you just need to give like a shadow to your eyes. 

#3 Don't use any face powder at all or if your foundation is feeling sticky you only use translucent powder . This is because you don't want look like a layer of powder covering your face. 

#4 Skincare routine is very crucial here ! You might want to do facial scrub, facial mask and of course the basic skincare routine cleanse, toner, serum and moisturiser. 

#5 If your skin is oily, you can use a primer to control the visibility of your face. 

#6 You might want avoid any powder makeup product, stick to cream or watery based makeup products. For blusher, you can choose tinted product to create a natural blush to your cheek.  And for your lips recreate a colour that is similar like your own lip colour. Avoid cracked lips too ! 


So here's my No makeup, Makeup Look tutorial. I'm using only 6 makeup product to achieve this very natural makeup look ! You barely see any different but very obvious that my skin is glowing and fresh after my makeup. 


Let me know what is your tip and trick when you are going for "Au naturel"? Please do comment down below, thank you ! 


Makeup Expiration dates

Hello beautiful, 

Share this picture with your girlfriends:) 




So today I'm cleaning my makeup drawers and I was putting away all the makeup that is expired. You must be wondering how do I know when to throw them away, unless the actually expiration date was on the product packaging. I wanted to share how long I keep my makeup product and when do I actually throw them away meaning that I don't use them already.( I don't throw my makeup product, I just keep them away because I love to keep all my makeup, maybe one day I will throw them away, but for now they are just for collection) 
You might be thinking, it's a waste to throw your makeup product because they are still like new product right? But you have to know when to say goodbye and get a new one because they are full of bacteria. And you must be asking how the bacteria even grow in there? When the applicator come in contact with you directly to your skin, lips or lashes you didn't clean it before you put the applicator back to its tube or packaging so thats how the bacteria breeding inside. Bad makeup products can cause you irritation and breakouts, and it's really bad for your skin. So you don't want to go out and come home with redness o rashes on your skin. 

Let me know how long do you keep your makeup product? 

Tokyo Luxe Gift Box

Hello beautiful, 
 


 I love to check out Japanese fashion style , hair style and makeup pictorial.When I think of Japanese style, I would say Kawaii (cute), of course they have a lot style but cute style is what come to my mind first. They can match everything from the hair to the makeup, their clothing, shoes and bag and overall they are very into the details like every blings count and they match up so that they can get perfect look. Japanese girl will wear makeup to show their respect to others.

Talking about makeup, they have tons of makeup cosmetic selling with very cute packaging too.
 Every packaging of their makeup product, they design it and make you feel pretty from the moment you see the product, you can already imagine yourself with that makeup on. You can't resist the beautiful packaging and you feel like buying everything. 

In Malaysia, I don't think a lot of choices of Japanese makeup brand available. But now I think we can easily get Japanese cosmetic from Tokyo Luxe. I'm so excited  to talk about this online website that provides beauty box. 

I recently received a gift box from Tokyo Luxe, which I'm so happy ! woot woot! It's actually like a beauty box. And the products in the box,  are all from Japanese brand makeup and skincare product. So basically most of the brand they included is famous brand in Japan, but they are not available for sale here in Malaysia. So let's us see what's in the box that I got.



Information 

Product Name: Tokyo Luxe Gift box

Price: $32 (singapore dollar)

Where to get: http://member.tokyoluxey.com/clk.php?ssid=225&iid=8


I'll start with skincare product first.
Make It&Co- Wash Oil
For sensitive skin 
It's an all-in-one makeup remover, face wash and moisturiser. So you just apply a good amount of product to your face or body, and with circular motion, then add water and it will emulsify, then you wash it.  It is recommended to use it twice daily. 
 
My review: 
 
Pros: 
- smell really good contains essential oil
- suitable for sensitive skin
- can remove makeup
- the texture of the oil more to watery type and really easy to work on the face, I really like the texture of it because sometimes oil based cleanser doesn't make me comfortable to use, becuase it's feel oily, but this one is more to watery type so it's good.
- after you add water, it emulsify and it leaves the skin very smooth and brighten up the skin, another thumbs up
- It can be use for body as well

con: 
- not directly to the product, but it come in a travel size in this gift box so I don't know where to get it, but I think soon Tokyo luxe will be selling their product on their website.
Overall, I like this wash oil, I love the texture of this oil based cleanser, and it doesn't dry up my skin. It leave smooth and brighten skin after wash.
Overal, I like the scent of this cleanser it make me calm while 'm cleansing my face. But I'm not really a big fan of oil based cleanser, because my it will dry up my skin.

Make it &Co-Premium Gel
This is an anti ageing gel, it help the skin look and feel more soft, supple and younger. It contains Macadamia nut oil which is excellent anti ageing properties due to its richness in anti oxidant and vitamins. Also included Rose floral water for toning effects. 
My review: 
Pros: 
- After I apply it on my skin, it doesn't feel greasy
-quickly absorb 
- It's a moisturiser, and I think it has fair moisture level
- the texture is more between creamy gel type, it's cooling and glides on easily
Con: 
- The moment I apply it on my face, I don't like the smell of it, but the smell didn't stay longer
 
Overall, I think it's quite okay as a moisturizer, not really sure if it can really help with anti ageing, but it's a fine moisturizer that doesn't feel too rich or too oily although it targeting anit ageing. It does leave smooth and soft feeling after used.

 Platinum Mascara Waterproof
 This is a mascara by AYA, she is a Japanese Tv reporter that living oversea, she wanted her eyelashes to have more volume and look as black as it can be. Because she wanted to stand out from other American reporters in the glitzy world of media. So that's why she want to make her eyes more impact. So she designed a unique mascara brush and it become popular in Japan, and also it was available in Sephora.
My review : 
Pros: 
- great colour payoff 
- lengthening
-volumising
- waterproof
- don't smudge
- no clump
- the brush applicator easy to use, can apply upper and lower lashes , even inner corner. 
 - easy to remove 
- pretty packaging
con:
-none
  Overal, I would say this is my most favourite product in the gift box. I love how it open up my lashes and my eyes just like a blooming flower. It also can lengthening my lashes and it doesn't clump up my lashes. And of course It doesn't smudge make me look like a panda the end of the day.

My review: 

Pros:

Overal, this glitter has clear base so you can top up on any eyeshadow. It dry quickly after you apply, it can also buildable to create more intense look. But I more prefer with fine glitter, this has quite big glitter.

KOJI lash Concierge
A little bit of Koji, it was the first maker in Japan to sell false eyelashes ( in japan Tsuke-matsuge). They wanted to enhance the beauty of geisha's eyes which led to the development of false eyelashes. 

My review :

BB cream
This BB cream is rank #1 on the Japanese cosmetics information site@cosme and on the largest e-commerce website Rakuten. This Bb cream contain spf 31 PA++ , placenta and EGF. So the added benefit is that it can be your daily foundation with little coverage, even out your skin tone at the same time it have placenta and EGF act as a skincare. Haven't  tried it on. 
Pros: 
- easy to work on the skin
- even out my skin tone
- contain SPF 31 PA++ 
con: 
- product is too little, gonna finish it within 5 days. 
- feeling a little bit sticky after applied it on

Cosme Powder Foundation 
This is a powder foundation. It come in a shade 3 and it's a little dark for my skin tone. It contain spf 15. 
My review: 
Pros:
- Is not powdery
- stay on skin
- skin don't look cakey
- skin look smoother
- come in a cute packaging with big mirror, so i guess it will be great in everyday bag for touch up. 
Con: 
- the colour is not suitable for me
Overal, it glides on smoothly on my face, doesn't make me look cakey, is just that the colour doesn't suitable for me.

Overall, as I'm working on the eyeshadow on my eyelid, the colour didn't really showed up, I have to keep adding more and build up the colour. In real person, I think the eyeshadow look okay, doesn't look powdery or too dry on my eyelid. I think I need to buy the dark colour and see how the colour payoff and share with you girls too. I give out 2.5 out 5 ratings because I like that it can be customized your own palette and the colour is soft and glides on easily not too powdery and no fall out, but the colour payoff is only fair so it's kinda like normal eyeshadow and nothing too fancy about this eyeshadow.It look better on top of eye primer and stay on longer.
