InstaNatural Argan Oil hair mask

I'm a big fan of InstaNatural products except this. Terrible hair mask. Weird scent and poor moisturising effect. Highly disappointing. Will not recommend nor re-purchase.

Schmidt’s Naturals deodorant

Terrible deodorant. Leaves a white, chalky residue post-application. 

Burberry Beauty Box

1. Burberry Cat Lashes mascara was really awesome - gives curl, volume and length without much clumping. It does smudge after 5 hours of wear, but I think that’s rather normal.

2. Burberry lipstick (Oxblood) is a matte red colour that looks flattering with my complexion. It also does not dry out my lips (though I do apply lip balm as a base). Believe it’s one of the “must-have” lippie shades from Burberry as well as a cult favourite.

3. Burberry eyeshadow in gold pearl gives my lids a little shimmer without looking over-the-top. I apply it with the mini applicator that it comes with. I also use it without eye primer and it does last for quite awhile. 

4. Burberry Fresh Glow Nude Radiance Luminous Fluid Base is a pretty good primer - gives a slight brightening effect to your face, is non-drying and also does not have an overwhelming scent.

In general, I was impressed with Burberry’s cosmetics (at least those I’ve tested in this set) and find this to be a good starter kit for Burberry make-up virgins! 

Pat McGrath Venus in Furs lipstick

Truly one of the best matte lippies out there!

Non-drying and does not accentuate fine lines on the lips.

Skinfood Gummy Bear Jelly hand gel

Kiwi

Grape

Real Techniques complexion sponges

One of my favourite make-up sponges because they are super soft and blend my make-up extremely well. They are also super wallet-friendly and can be easily purchased from drugstores in Singapore.

By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder

Got a mini tub of this from CultBeauty. Works super well in setting my undereye concealer. Does not accentuate fine lines.

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks

My Bare Lady set includes the following liquid lipstick shades:

• Patina (matte dusty rose)
• Illuminaire Shimmer (warm caramel shimmer)
• Nudo Shimmer (warm terracotta nude shimmer)

P.S. I find that Stila's liquid lipsticks have a weird scent/taste - intolerable in my opinion.
