[REVIEW] Baviphat Magic Girl Brush Set

Hi, we met again! Only one Biology test need to be done tomorrow and after that, the final exams started. I know that I'm not a good person when it comes to study..I wish study is like watching an anime..haha XD

So, I took a detour for a while since Biology did makes my head all mushy inside...coz there are so many things to remember.

Anyway, I'll be reviewing this travel size brush set from Baviphat!
Do you believe that I got this for RM2 include the free shipping? You better believed me coz it's true. I was so excited when I saw this on sale with limited quantities plus I read some good reviews about the brush. It's cheap and free shipping so I bought it without a second thought.
It took me about 3 weeks before this cute pouch arrived~





They had total 4 brush in a set that comes with a cute pouch.
Since I don't have any travel size brush, I find that this is very good for travelling. The pouch and brush is small but enough for you to hold. It's very light and not bulky so I had no worries if I just slip this in my satchel.

For the brush, the bristles is surprisingly soft and not scratchy at all. Though it can't be comparable to higher brand but I still think that this set of brush is worth the buy. Besides I got this for a cheap price - not cheap but VERY CHEAP. 

The brush apply very well on my eye lid and grab quite a good amount of product. So I have no complain. This is just simply good enough for me.

I'm sure this is available locally which is at Stardust located in Fahreinheit88 in case you might want to check them out(but I'm sure it is more than pricey you could see)

Overall, I love this brush and I'm using it quite frequently even though I'm not travelling.

Thank you for reading!

[REVIEW] Etude House Princess Etoinette Rose Brush and Brush Collection Set

Hi guys! I know Valentine's Day is coming really near and what's your plan on the day? hehe :D
You may want to dress up like a princess on the day for your loved one <3

As I promised, I'll be doing reviews on Princess Etoinette in this holiday so here is the first post!
I don't want to combine all the posts because I find it could be too long. I prefer shorter post because it less heavier to those who might have slower internet connection since I'm going to post lots of heavy photos.

So let's head on to the review!

It is really cute right? :D


The bristles are so soft!Sorry if you didn't saw the rose shape becoz I messed it up to show the bristles to you :)


The pouch are really beautiful!So hime gyaru-ish!kk~



A close up for you. The bristles are the same as the rose brush~

This is the lip gradation I'm talking about previously. It was used to apply lippies product and I said that this is really unique since people used brush type for lip brush but this used sponge type brush.

Etude House Princess Etoinette Rose Brush :  RM47.60
Etude House Princess Etoinette Brush Collection : RM72.80

The first time I used the brushes, I notice the bristles aren't that soft and I could say that it has a scratchy feelings. Aside from that, I noticed some fall outs of the bristles for the first used. I thought I start to dislike them.

But I shouldn't gave up that early so I brush the bristles with my hands to get rid of the possible fall out bristles and the photos you've seen is the after pictures. The fall outs isn't that much but maybe it was the productions fault that leaves the remaining unsticks bristles. 

Then I noticed that brushes are softer after I do remove the unsticks bristles..yeay! It was so smooth so I never had complaints anymore. 

Other than that, one thing that I dislikes about this brushes is the goaty smell since it was made from the goat's hair..Thankfully I had the Etude House brush cleaner which had a very amazing smells like perfume, it removed the goaty's smell of the brushes. Though you might remove the smell with other cleaners too.

To those who might curious about the pink color on top of the brushes, the color won't fade if you wash them so don't worry if you might hate the coloring that could harm your face. It was safe :D

The prices are okay to me since I got discounts for both products :) and I love the princessy designs of the brushes. I absolutely adore pink, laces and ribbons so I definitely couldn't resist something as girly as this..>_<

See how the lip gradation tip is used here :

 Overall I was very satisfied with the brush. Of course you can't compare this brushes to Sigma's since Sigma are more to quality of their brushes(I know they had Sigma Beauty too) whilst Etude House are more to make-up.

Still had more questions to ask? Leave a comment down below of just email me

Thank you for reading!
Much love xoxo

[REVIEW] Avon Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation,Eyeshadows and Free Kabuki Brush and Dual Ended Eye Shadow Brush.

Hello there~!As I promised,today I will do another review that is Avon Smooth Minerals Make-up!I start liking this after I read review from Puteri from SayaSukaMekap.I read her review and she mention the price along and it was inexpensive!I was surprised too!So last weekend I went out with my friend and luckily Avon was only besides the shop that we wanna go!Then,we went to Avon as my friend really loves Avon.haha..So we start with my review!

These are the things that I bought last time.Not the full collections since I have much blushers and I'm not a fan of lipstick..Still finding a good and reasonable lipstick to use.

The big one is foundation powder,the small one is eyeshadow and the white box is Kabuki brush n dual ended brush.

This is Avon Smooth Minerals Foundation Powder in Beige Orchre.The packaging is great but the Europe one is more great!
This is the Europe packaging,I was a bit..owh..their packaging is more nice!While our packaging looks like this

T_T

But anyway,it doesn't really matters...haha..the foundation comes with 4 shades that are Ivory Pink,Beige Orchre,Light Orchre and err..the other one.I forgot..sorry..
Just 4 shades while Europe Avon got 12 shades in total.
Europe shades.

Maybe because we are at different region so that's why the shades are different and lesser.

Overall the foundation powder is okay..it looks like loose powder to me.Great colors although I first look at the color,it seems darker.So if you went to Avon,you must test the color on your skin first co it may look darker from your eyes but it will be lighter when you apply it.I intend to buy the Ivory Pink one but I immersed with the testing colors and forgot about the Ivory Pink one..but the beige suits my skin well.

Another one that I buy is Avon Smooth Minerals Eyeshadow in Rose Quartz
Looks like there are no different between the foundation powder right?.

The eyeshadow package looks like this..The color seems not too clear in this but here is the Europe shades


There are four shades for Asian too but I forgot the colors..I'll check the catalog again then I'll update this..

Overall for the eyeshadow,it is shimmery and great natural colors.I love it!However both of this products got large package but have a very low quantity.Like the foundation,it is so little..so I was disappointed in that.They actually have to put more in the canister.

So go to the free gift with over RM30 of buying.

The Kabuki brush worth RM18.90.The brush is so smooth when I first touch it but when I use it on my face..oh my,the hair is falling off..gosh..the point of the brush is sharp too!I was like grrr...and one more,it does contain a smell..don't have how to say it but it is the brush smell,sometimes I was kinda like it but sometimes it really bothers me...=.= . So think first if you want to buy this brush.I do not recommend it at all..(thank god this was free)


The other one is Dual Ended Eyeshadow brush,it is so smooth and light.I really love it~!(That time the plastic don't even open yet..hahaxD)

Anyway,that's all for today.I hope you enjoy reading this.

P/S : Mia akan buat translations if ada readers yang nakkan review ni dalam Bahasa Melayu.bye2~

Love

REVIEW AND SWATCHES : e.l.f Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette – Limited Edition,e.l.f Studio Eyeshadow Primer and Glamlabel Foundation brush

Hello deary sweet sugar~!I would do another reviews for today!Sorry for not be able to post this reviews few days ago because of I'm busy with a lot of exams that never stop..haha...anyway,it completely finish now and what left is my final exams.Taking out some time didn't effect right?lol..Okay,let's get going to what I will review today.The two products was on my wish list that I tick right?It just arrived last Thursday and I'm really happy!Sorry for not taking the group photo as I was a little confuse just now.Individual pictures are okay right?

Glamlabel Foundation brush.

First of all,let I started with this foundation brush from Glamlabel.I bought this on ebay which the seller is having sales that time.(I think?)and yeah,it just arrived last Wednesday if I'm not mistaken.Although it takes a very long time to arrive(almost a month)but I didn't regret buying it since it was so smooth!The brush is big and easy to hold.I didn't have any foundation brush before so I think I wanted to buy this since I use BB creams everyday and to protect hygiene and prevent bacteria spreading to my face more(since I used my fingers before to apply the BB Cream),I thought this would be useful so I would rate this 4/5 stars.It is reasonable than any other brush so I really recommend this.

The box.

The front look.

Inside the palette.

Next,e.l.f Studio Endless Eyes Mini Eyeshadow Palette(Limited Edition).I really wanted e.l.f products so much after I read a lot of review about it!Surprisingly,the cosmetics under this brand is quite cheap!Last time there are having sales and most of the products is having 50% discount!Oh my..it become more cheaper than ever!My friend said,yeah,they beat Avon for this!haha..because Avon is quite cheap here and imagine how this brand can be more cheaper than that?woaaa..Anyway,I didn't buy this from the sales but I bought this from a local online seller.They are having sales every month and I was lucky to have this!Yeay!Before we move on further,I would like to introduce e.l.f to you guys!(especially local readers who didn't know).e.l.f stands for eyes.lips.face which comes from UK if I'm not mistaken.(Please correct me if I'm wrong here.I'm new to this brand too since this is my first purchase).The e.l.f have many range of products which the best selling are their gorgeous palette,eyeshadow primer and HD powder and eye shadows.Okay,that's all for the intros.This palette that I bought is already sold out in their website and I don't know if they would re-stock this or not.This palette contains 32 different colors that range from matte to shimmer color.As I read from other review,the color is really pigmented!You only have to swatches a little and the result is great!I've used this palette few times already especially the natural colors.hehe..Can't wear the funky one to classes right??haha..hmm..the picture of me wearing the eye shadows?hmm..maybe I would post it on my Beeha Contest entry but I'll inform later.Here is the swatches picture that I took(Sorry for not be able to post up the high quality picture since I didn't have any camera on my hand now.So the color may be different on the real results.
First line of the shadows(Refer to the full palette)

Second line from the palette

 Third line from the palette

 

The last line from the palette(The smokey colors is nice right??)hehe..
I would give this palette 5/5 stars for the beautiful colors,cheapest palette from branded company and pigmented colors!

Next would be my last review for today that is e.l.f Studio Eyeshadow Primer.

This primer is one of the best selling at e.l.f and this one is sold out too that time.hehe..This primer is used before using eye shadows to make it last last longer and stay at my eye lid.I've tried this few times too as before I'm using the e.l.f palette.It works well with me!I always have an oily eyelid so this is really helpful!The glossy type primer really makes eye shadows is easy to use and blend too.So 5/5 for this!
Take a look at the swatches(haha..as I'm swatches for the BB cream)

Slight swatch.

Blend to my skin.

and tadaaa..It disappears..

This is how the brush looks alike.Its like lip gloss brush isn't it?Easy to use and easy to apply too!So I recommended this!

That's all for this time reviews!I would do a lot of review in the future!Read my last reviews too!Hope you enjoy this!Thanks for reading~

Love xoxoxox.. Mia
