E.L.F and Daiso

My venture to cheaper make up :)

Honestly, I would say I am a little afraid at first but everything turn out so far so good :)

E.L.F. is known for its USD$1 products and Daiso just recently open in Malaysia sells everything for RM5. When I say everything, it's literally everthing! Make-up, stationary, this and that and this.

I got this E.L.F all over colour stick from Singapore SASA. If I am not wrong its around SGD$5. Defintely not as cheap when you convert it to MYR but I guess its alright since I sucks at buying stuff online.



The colour is called Persimmon, tried swatching but camera can't take no shit.



I like this stick. It give a light subtle shimmer to cheekbone. I love to put on top of my cheekbone after some blushers. Seems to be working not bad. Always wanted some highlighting stick that sort. This is a good and cheap alternative. A minor rant would be when I accidentally put a little too much, I feel a little waxy... but its RM10 bucks anyway, no complains!

Moving on to Daiso, after reading it so much online and friends raving bout it, of course I must go. And it was so nice meeting Beetrice (Beetrice Reviews) and Connie (Skindeco) and Tine (Beautyholic Anonymous) and the rest of the beauty bloggers :) after stalking their blog so much..

I have gotten the blusher and the dial concealer which May loves so much. RM1o bucks for both of it. Damn. I like the price. :)





I have tried the concealer, it stings my under eyes abit.. eek or perhaps it could be because the skin there is so freaking dry. Also it could be not the concealer fault since even when I apply moisturizer, it stings too. sigh. I can't bring myself to buy eyecream. Freaking RM40-RM50 for such a small tube. I think I must try the concealer a couple more time to mention my like and dislike. My Bobbi concealer is hitting the pan at one of the corner. Heartache!

As for the blusher, Connie from Skindeco recommended it to me. Thank you!


It does look a little similar to MAC Dainty, maybe a little more matte.



I try comparing it with my others blusher. The blusher is named Beige, however I felt it look nowhere near beige. Its like a sweet light pink/coral (oh man I sucks at describing the colours.) I like the colour. yay! hehe


I tried swatching of MAC Dainty (bottom) and Daiso Beige Blush(top). I have tried it and it gives a nice flush. Slight more pigmented than MAC Dainty but less frosty. Still have a very light shimmer on it. Whee another blusher for me. :)

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

I have been wanting this since the longest time, but it's concealer and it's not as exciting as eyeliner or blusher. So I have been pushing it at the back of my wishlist. Sigh.

Yesterday I control myself not to be wow by eyeshadow, eyeliner and blusher and bought this!

and Yay its good! Much much better than my old concealer, as it's a little drying. It's creamier and easy to apply. I don't need to tugged my under eyes so much to spread the concealer. Whee.

The colour I used is Sand. Very close to my skin colour.

Look at the interesting texture... like a film of oil hahaha

One concern for me though, since this concealer is so much creamier, it make me wonder will it smudge my eyeliner and mascara easier.. I will wear and give it a trial run few more time before I conclude this the best. but it's pretty awesome, look...

I'm still contemplating should I include my pre-concealer picture. It might scare people away. Once my little brother ask me, what the black black thing under my eyes and I realise later he meant my eyebags... sigh.

and there goes my RM80.
