O'Shea Virgin Shea Butter 36.5 Creamy Foundation BB cream Review

I have been testing out some products from O'Shea lately. O'Shea is a Korea-based brand which is known for incorporating shea butter in every product they make. As you know, shea butter is efficient in its moisturizing and healing properties to the skin - that makes the whole of the O'Shea line suitable for damaged, mature, or dry skin. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on their Foundation B.B.

 

Going "Minimal" and "Pop" for Fall 2012 with Maybelline offerings! // 以Maybelline產品創造秋季''Pop" & "Mineral" look!

The Maybelline trend of F/W 2012 makeup emphasizes on "Minimal" with beige nude lips and "Pop" look with daring red lips. And good news to your wallet, you only need two different lipsticks and two different eyeshadow palettes to create the 2 looks which could bring you anywhere from lazy days-out to the red carpet. 

Maybelline 的F / W 2012重點在創造 "Minimal" 及 "Pop"的妝容 。你只需要兩種不同顏色的唇膏和兩款不同的眼影色便足夠應付懶洋洋的日子和紅地毯場合了。

 

Step 1: Create a smooth canvas with Pure Mineral BB Base.

This lightweight BB base conceals, preps, provides SPF 26/ PA+++, evens out your skin tone in no time. Coverage is medium-sheer and texture is light. The minerals in it helps to control oil throughout the day to ensure a long lasting wear.

Step 1: 用純礦物BB 底霜打造順滑肌膚。

這支超輕量的BB底霜遮瑕，為肌膚打底，防曬, 在任何時候均勻你的膚色。 遮瑕度中等偏輕。它的礦物質有助整天控制面油，確保持久。

Step 2: Line your eyes with Hyper Sharp Liquid Liner. The liner once set, does not smudge or budge. It can be removed with soap & water, application is easy and dries fast.

Step 2: 在你的眼睛畫上眼線。Hyper Sharp 眼線液不塗抹或暈染。可以用肥皂和水清除，畫上後乾的速度很快。

Step 3: Curl and Coat your lashes with False Lash Volume Express Waterproof Mascara. Create a look which looks like you have put falsies on (yet minus the hassle).

Step 3: 捲曲睫毛和塗上與假睫毛般卷曲濃密效果的 Volume Express防水睫毛膏。

 

Step 4: For "Minimal" Look, pick Hyper Diamonds Eyeshadow Palette in BR-1. The palette consisted of earth-toned and office-friendly colors (see swatches above). Use the lightest color (golden champagne) on inner 1/3 of your lids and blend the third color on your lid. Smudge the darkest color onto your crease and outer 1/3 of your eye. Dab the fourth color all over your lid for some diamond sparkle.

Step 4: 要達致 "Minimal" look，用鑽石眼影BR-1, 包括大地色調和適合辦公室的啡色調（見上面試色圖）。使用最淺的顏色（香檳金）塗於內1/3眼蓋上, blend 中間的顏色於整個眼蓋。把最深的顏色塗抹到眼摺位和眼睛外1/3的位置。然後在整個眼窩搽第四色, 令眼神更閃耀.

Step 4: Alternatively, for "Pop" Look, pick Hyper Diamonds Eyeshadow Palette in WN-1, which consisted of royal-looking violet hues and lilacs (see swatches below). Apply second lightest color on the inner 1/3 of your eye and the medium color all over your lid. Smudge the darkest color on crease and outer 1/3 of your eye. Apply the lightest color all over your lid for extra sparkle and on the browbone for highlighting.

要達致 "Pop" look，用鑽石眼影WN-1, 色調包括貴族氣質的深紫和淺粉紅（見下圖試色）。使用第二淺的顏色塗於內1/3眼蓋上, blend 中間紫色於整個眼蓋。把深紫色塗抹到眼摺位和眼睛外1/3的位置。然後在整個眼窩搽第四色. 用最淺的顏色在眉骨上作 highlight.

Step 5: For "Minimal" look, use ColorSensational Lipstick in #721 Iced Brown, a warm brown beige color to warm up your lips for the My Lips But Better pout. For "Pop" look, use lipstick in #475 Coral Diamonds for a daring red pout. And voila! Two easy looks are done!

Step 5: "Minimal" look 可使用ColorSensational唇膏＃721，一隻溫暖的棕色，令整個妝容warm up。"Pop" look 可使用＃475 - 大膽的鮮紅色與紫色眼影的配合令人一見難忘。2個截然不同的 look 便大功告成了!

Foundation that lasts from Coffee to Cocktails - Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish SPF15 // 返工放工都緊貼皮膚 - Bobbi Brown全新Long Wear Even Finish SPF15粉底液

Sometime before Easter, I was invited by Anthia and Sylvia to experience an intense workout session after work, and of course to try Bobbi Brown's new liquid foundation. I arrived at the venue, changed into gym outfits in no time, and had my face patted on with the new Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation by Bobbi Brown. I was excited to see how this foundation fares after an intense 45-minute workout session!

復活節前，我被Anthia和Sylvia邀請體驗Bobbi Brown新的無厚持久粉底液。我到達會場，換上運動服，塗上無厚持久粉底液. 我很期待經過45分鐘劇烈運動後的粉底液會變成如何！

Monthly Favourites (Jan 2011) //每月至愛產品

I've been terribly sick for days, spent 3 whole days in bed and ate @#$%^&* kinds of medicine, am still recovering. I apologize for lagging behind the comments and stuff :( I realized that Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so I better get this post published, lol. I'll introduce these darlings which I have been using religiously in January.

大病了一場，在床上渡過三日三夜，嚴重跟不上blog同comments, 真的對不起. 我剛醒起還有數天便過農曆新年了, 都是趕快出埋post佢先 ^_^ 今次介紹既係本人今個月至愛用既產品 :D

1) DollyWink Pencil Liner in Brown:

Bought this at around $10 Euros. Application is effortless and smooth, high pigmentation and no serious smudging problem. I love the fact that it's deep brown so it looks very flattering on the eyes (versus the dramatic black...). Its quality is on par with Urban Decay 24/7 Liners! (full review to come later :))

DollyWink深啡色眼線鉛筆:

以$99左右購入. 劃得非常順暢, 我喜歡它深啡色, 比黑色自然很多. 上色度高, 沒有嚴重脫色問題. 個人覺得質量可以媲美Urban Decay 24/7 系列的眼線筆! (詳細評語容後再post :))

2) Chacott loose settling powder in #763 Translucent

I've seen this powder appearing over and over again in Japanese magazines, and was finally able to locate a shop that sells this in store. What should I say? After trying this, I don't want to look at any other loose powder (just kidding lol). Chacott is a company that makes stage cosmetics for ballet school and the quality of this loose powder is superb, the powder is finely milled. It controls oil decently and keeps my makeup fresh throughout the day. (full review to come later)

Chacott 定妝碎粉 (#763 透明色)

經常在日本雜誌看到的妝品, 終於比我找到在那裡有得買了. 只要試過之後, 其他碎粉都看不上眼了 (說笑). Chacott幫一間芭蕾舞學校設計的舞台化妝, 呢隻碎粉品質非常高, 質感細滑, 控油一流, 個妝真係可以保持到好耐. (詳細評語容後再post :))

3) LUSH Angels On Bare Skin Face Cleanser (潔面)

If you don't mind the herbal scent, this is a superb cleanser and exfoliator for face! I've been using it religiously ever since I bought it. It made my face feel so refreshing after I use it. There are lavender particles in it and it helps to exfoliate too! (full review here)

如果你不介意香草味的話 (註: 不是薄荷味), 呢隻洗面膏係好好既選擇. 裡面有薰衣草同玫瑰粒子, 洗面之餘可以做埋磨砂. 每次洗完面都覺得好fresh, 自從買了它回家便一直使用了. (詳細評語)

4) Essential Ultra Honey & Shea Butter Hair Mask (Nuance Airy)

This hair mask is the best buy of the month, lol. It's affordable and smells like honey. I've been using it for numerous times since I bought it 2 weeks ago, it makes my hair baby soft :) I've been doing lots of blow-drying to my hair recently and this is a perfect product to repair damaged bits. (full review HERE)

這瓶 hair mask超抵買, 平之餘好好用. 前排經常性吹頭, D頭髮好粗糙好乾. 買了這個 hair mask兩星期後我 keep 住用, 頭髮變返柔順, 軟滑, 聞落仲好香! (詳細評語)

5) Orbis Foam Esthe Pack (warm foam mask) 暖暖泡沫面膜

I got this when Stellar and I went to shopping in our last beauty blogger meetup in December. I have been a loyal user of Orbis skincare and I can't believe I discover this gem so late! The mask comes in a metal bottle, with an airtight pump on top. The foam is white and when applying it on your face you'll feel a tiny warming sensation. It's like mousse. This product leaves my face VELVETY SMOOTH!!! The best part? Only 5 minutes is needed, lol. (full review HERE)

去年十二月和Stellar的beauty blogger meetup時買的. 我用了 Orbis的Skincare已經三年有多, 很難相信現在才發現它!!! 嘎出黎既泡沫有點像mousse的質地, 上面後有暖暖的感覺, 用完皮膚好似絨布咁滑. 只需 5分鐘乍~ (詳細post請按此)

6) Shu Uemura Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation//植川秀粉底液

This liquid foundation has medium coverage and is scented. It blends well and is perfect for winter.

這支粉底液遮瑕度OK, 容易推開, 冬天用至岩.

7) MAC Viva Glam x Lady Gaga lipstick // MAC Viva Glam x Lady Gaga唇膏

Gives my lips the perfect pink. I was worried that the nude and pale pink would wash me out, but I found it works eventually. I can't live without it now.

完美的粉紅色. 起初擔心會令我變得面無血色, 後來慢慢work了, 現在沒有了它便不行了.
