  1. It's time to round up the samples and spill the deets on how good or bad they were! Processing data and evaluating how something delivers results are skills that I have developed as a sidekick to the world's greatest detective, Batman, and they are not only applicable to fighting crime but also to reviewing beauty products!
    So, shall we move on to the "Sampling Monday" regime?
    Make Up For Ever "Pro Finish" : I am a big sucker for powder foundations and this one was not disappointment! Despite its light formula, this powder foundation successfully concealed my redness and made my complexion seem more even. I also noticed that I needed some extra product to cover my face but maybe I am a big spender on powder foundation.

    Benefit Cosmetics "The Porefessional" : Having a little problem with my pores, I expected this product to minimize how big my pores look. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me; after application, my pores looked the same as before but my skin felt smoother. If you don't have a big pores problem, this might work for you.

    Laura Mercier "Eyedration Moisture Eye Crème" : This eye cream was as good as it promised! Super moisturising, it spoiled my under eye area with vitamin E and C and it really brighten my dark circles. My eyes look refreshed and I am more than happy to say that it the result lasted longer than expected. If you don't have a dark circles problem, you may skip the concealer with this!



    P.S. Which was your favourite sample out of the three? Was there something you also tried?

  2. Let's all say "Happy Monday" to this Monday! It's better to take things slowly and with a smile on. Harley Quinn and Joker do that so they must know something about smiling in the face of demise, right? Even if you are laughing maniacally and planning on bombing away any obstacles thrown at you this week just be careful because someone serious might be coming after you.
    And who wants to share a killing joke?

    Whatever you choose or how serious you are, let's all wave a hand at this Monday's sample! Make Up For Ever "Pro Finish" multi-use powder foundation is here to correct and even the complexion without drying the skin. It is Formulated with exclusive bio-mimetic coated pigments and its breakthrough formula gives you the chance to use this powder foundation wet or dry. If you want a sheer, kind of dewy finish, apply it wet and apply it dry for a full coverage, matte result. I was given the "125 Pink Beige" shade and after checking on their website, I was happy to see a wide range of shades so that every gal finds a perfect match! I am dying to try any foundation that promises to give me a good face and I was so happy to get this sample! Stay tuned for the verdict!




    P.S. What is your favourite foundation? Are you a powder or a liquid foundation girl? And with summer coming, any plans on altering your foundation routine? Have a great week!

  3. After a week of , it's a relief to finally it's Friday today. This world is spinning out of control and Gotham City is place that falls into the list of cities with something spectacular going on; someone might bump into Hellboy and Starman while the heroes are trying to locate a secret organization with ties to black magic or get a glimpse of a mysterious transaction in a dark alley between the Penguin and Deadshot for the next big attack on the Bat family.
    If you have had a hiatus week, you will understand what I am talking about.

    But even after being in too deep for a couple, is there something to help you walk the line? You know, keeping your head high no matter how much you are struggling to fight for that balance in your life; for me, walking the line means keeping faith that everything will go fine even though that last bomb hitting the Batmobile almost killed Batman and me. Whatsoever, walking the line is a way to keep going even though you feel you need to stop.
    So, walking the line + beauty = x. 

    So, the strange equation above will probably leave you clueless about this review and to clear things up let me give you the solution at once and with no calculator attached. "Walking the line" for us means also, using a lipliner pencil! Lip liner pencils are your go-to products when using bright lipsticks and darker shades in order to make sure that the color stays on and you prevent your lipstick from annoyingly feathering and bleeding. But lip pencils are not only for red lipsticks and other bright shades; by using a lip liner pencil with your lipstick, you improve the results. And we all want a good pout!
    I wanted to buy a light pink lip pencil to match a light pink, kind of nude lipstick I got and I decided to try Make Up For Ever "Aqua Lip" lip liner pencil. Everyone has heard something good about a Make Up For Ever product and especially their foundations and powders are a favorite of a lot of women. With this information in my mind, I set out to find the lip pencil shade that matched my lipstick; with the help of the professionals I tried the "Baby Pink-20C" shade and was happy to see that it matched my lipstick and its pinkish hue made it ideal to pair with more pigmented pink lipsticks too. But let's talk about "Aqua Lip" 's performance; first of all, this is the softest lip liner pencil I have tried and you don't need to apply much pressure to get the perfect result and second, it did perform as well as other lip pencils so to prevent lipstick bleeding. I haven't tried its waterproof formula yet but with summer approaching, this neutral pink shade is perfect for a day in the beach. Also, this lip liner pencil is saliva resistant and can be used on the entire mouth after a nice thick layer of your favorite lip balm.




    Not sure whether this swatch kind of helps you get the idea of the color. 

    You are now leaving Gotham
    I think a lip liner pencil is a little sidekick to every girl who has a soft spot for lipsticks of every shade! Whether you are a classic red lipstick fan or a nude lipstick converter, a lip liner pencil will help make your lipstick stay longer and not stray away! Make Up For Ever "Aqua Lip" lip liner pencil allows you to reshape and emphasize the lip contour and its various shades will sure catch your eye!

    P.S. I wish you all have a great weekend and have time to enjoy the great spring weather! What are your plans and activities for recharging your batteries? Dinner with friends? Some quality time at the beauty counters? No matter what you do, have fun!
