A short review on RMK Super Basic Concealer Pact :)
Its available in 2 shades, #01 and #02 and have SPF 28PA++. Each pact comes with 2 shades of cream concealer, a powder and 2 brushes. The shade I gotten is #01.
The RMK SA told me to blend the 2 shades together to match my skin tone however, I find that the colour of the lighter shade matches my eye area (I use it on both my upper and lower eye area) while the darker shade matches the colour on my face.
Pros: Easy to blend and the colour match is pretty good. Concealing power is quite good, it does fade a little during the day but I supposed that is normal, lasting powder is pretty decent.
I like how the lighter shade helps to conceal my dark circles and also how it brightens my eye area. Concealer does not sink into my facial lines. The translucent powder is really light and non-drying. The pact comes with a mirror and good quality brushes (1 for concealer, 1 for powder).
Cons: Despite it being a cream concealer, it is a bit hard and dry. Expensive, cost $85.

What I've "Consumed"
In the past few years, I have been told on many occasions that the amount of skincare and makeup items I own are more than enough for 10 faces to last them for the next 10 years. Well, even though I might agree with them, but my ardor for skincare and makeup makes me want to possess the items that catches my fancy (as long as they are within budget).
My (sort of) new year's resolution for 2010 is to use up as many of the stuffs I own before getting new ones. The reasons behind this resolution are aplenty, one of which being my storage space is running out.
I really deserve a pat on my back for using up not one but FOUR products! *Woohoo~~*
- Liese Juicy Shower
- Liese Styling Water for hair dryer
- BEAUTYMAKER Skin Repair Wakening Gel
- RMK Skin Protector SPF31
Just a quick review on the items...
Liese Juicy Shower is in short a moisturising hair mist that helps to moisturise hair and smooths out frizziness. I find it not moisturising enough for my hair, but it makes up with the nice raspberry scent, however the scent does not linger very long. I usually on my dry hair to tame any fly aways before I head out. Don't think I will repurchase as I still have other hair mist in the storage.
Liese Styling Water is currently my favourite hair product! Its a styling aid that helps protect hair from the hair dryer's heat. It also claims to reduce frizziness. It really helps to cut down the time I blow dry my hair and my hair is really very smooth and frizz-free (well at least for a couple of hours). I already have a backup of this :)
I use the BEAUTYMAKER Skin Repair Wakening Gel as a sleeping mask and if I remember correctly it can also be used as a massage gel. I use it only lazy days, after toner and acne cream. It works fine too! Hehe~ (It is supposed to be applied as the last step of your skincare routine). I wake up with softer and hydrated skin the next morning. Not going to repurchase this as the Etude House sleeping mask also have the same effect on my skin and its much cheaper!
Lastly, RMK Skin Protector which I received as a GWP. It is a very lightweight sun screen and the stickiness goes away in like 30 seconds and I can apply my makeup almost immediately. It do not have the typical heavy sun screen smell and it does not break me out. Will I purchase it?! Definitely! I already did so!!
There are quite a number of items that I am going to use up very very soon! (Items listed below are retail size unless mentioned)
- MA CHERIE End Cure Milk
- Liese Hair Cocktail
- Stila Petal Infusions Retexturizing Scrub
- H2O+ Ice Water Cooling Mint Body Mud (60 ml)
- H2O+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment
- Clarins Total Body Lift (75 ml)
- NIVEA Night Whitening Body Milk (75 ml)
- LANEIGE Eye Designer Cream (sample)
- Etude House Cleansing Water
- Etude House Aqua Sherbet Skin Toner
- Etude House Aqua Sherbet Lotion
- Etude House AC Clinic Red Spot Balm
I just realised that my list does not include any makeup items!! x_x

Collective Haul
Sorry for not blogging for a week! I was quite sick, or rather I am still sick (coughing really badly now) I was down with a bad bout of viral infection that left me feeling weak, tired, grumpy, etc.
The doctor gave me a total 5 days of medical leave! On my first visit, I was given 2 days of medical leave, but I was still pretty sick after the 2 days and re-visited him again and was given additional 3 more days of medical leave. And not to mention I suffered from an "attack" of drug allergy, and had to visit him the third time!!!! (I am allergic to some painkillers, like paracetamol)
Enough of being sick, here's to the happy times!
December was my birthday month, so of course I had to indulge myself in some SHOPPING~~ (below is not a comprehensive list... x_x)
A present from my mom~! Clarins Protective Whitening Day Lotion with SPF 20 PA++. :)
A few other things I bought are the Neutrogena Warming Treatment, Liese Styling Water (its a repurchase), a RMK Face Protector SPF 31, Rimmel Base Coat, Majolica nail polish in WT902 and a few Canmake nail polishes~!
I have 8 new polishes in Decemeber!! The 3 at the back are from Barry M which I asked my friend to buy from UK. They are really really good!!! Easy to apply, last very very very long and yet easy to remove! Really loving them at the moment! Too bad Barry M isn't available in locally!

Eye Makeup Remover - Short Review
This will be a short review on 2 eye make up removers, Kanebo eye make up remover and RMK .
Kanebo eye make up remover
Price : $20
Quantity: 120ml
Type: Dual-phase (oil and water)
Pros: Quite economical. Removes all eye make up including my super-hard-to-remove Fasio waterproof mascara with a few wipes. Doesn't sting my eye.
Cons: Smells bad... Some stinky oil smell. Leaves behind an oily film.
RMK Eye Makeup Remover
Picture from : http://www.yopi.co.th/image/prod_pics/1962/e/1962574.jpg
Price : $38
Quantity:
Type: Dual-phase (oil and water)
Pros: First, I think the bottle looks pretty. Second, it is unscented. And just like the Kanebo remover, it does not sting my eye and it removes every thing with a few wipes, but however, without leaving any oily feeling behind, and instead, the eye area feels soothe and smooth. Its like removing eye make up and doing some sort of eye care at the same time. I really really really really love it!
Cons: A little on the pricey side.

rmk brushes
As you all know, I am a huge makeup fan and even though I have a decent amount of "branded" cosmetics (but in the current year, more than half of my cosmetics buys are made up of drug store brands), most of my makeup brushes are quite cheap and not-so-good.
I first bought my "branded" and expensive brushes from Biotherm, its a brush set consisting of a power brush, blush brush, a lip brush and a large and medium eyeshadow brush. I still remembered that it cost me $50 and I bought it from Isetan Scotts,.. lol~~ This brush set is already 4 years old and I am still using them, but they are not as soft as they used to be...
My second branded brush was a travel sized RMK brush and case for cheeks which again was bought at Isetan Scotts for $19. I also bought this around 4 years ago and I am using it as an applicator to powder my nose in the office! hehehe..
My third expensive and branded brushes are a powder and blush brush from Anna Sui, the former cost $61 and the latter cost $49. I bought them at Tangs with vouchers I received from my 21st birthday.
My last "branded" brushes bought last year were from Sephora. I bought a large fluffy eye shadow brush ($32) and a travel set, consisting of blush, eye shadow and lip/concealer brush (this travel set were sponsored by my BF).
My other brushes are bought randomly, mostly from SASA, from Missha, The Body Shop and Etude House...
For some time bow, I have been contemplating to invest in another set of expensive brushes from Sephora or RMK, with a budget of about $100 for a powder brush and $80 for a blusher brush...
Why only Sephora or RMK?? Why not MAC or Bobbi Brown?? Those 2 are far too expensive lah! hahaha.. And also because, I have brushes from both Sephora and RMK and they are pretty darn good!
My 4 year old RMK blush brush is still very soft despite of me abusing it and my improper washing... It seldom shed and when washing, the color didn't run. As for my Sephora brushes, the colors don't run but the travel set brushes shed!
So finally, I bought RMK~! (The Sephora at DFS is no longer there! And I can't wait for the one at Ngee Ann City to open!!!)
My new babies~~!
They are being air dried now after "bathing"~ They are soooooooooooooo soft~~!! Can't wait to use them~!
When I washed them last night, the color did run slightly for the powder brush but when I washed it for the second time, there was no color :) But there was no shedding~!
GWP with $150 of purchase...
If you do your maths, my total purchase adds up to $144, but the kind SA gave the GWP to me anyways~ With my Istean Credit Card, I gotten a discount and only paid $136.80 ^-^
The GWP consisted of Face Protector SPF 31, Creamy Makeup Base Matt shade 02, eye makeup remover and a mirror (not shown). The two tiny samples are Face Protector and Makeup Base which I asked for prior to purchase. I just told the SA that I wish to try the Face Protector and Makeup Base and she gave me with no questions asked!
