Beauty Carousel

 An online website that offers a mix of haircare, cosmetic and skincare products.

You are able to find familiar beauty brands such as Beautyblender, K-Palette, 1028, KUU Konjac cleansing Sponge and more.

Have been trying out the products for one week now. Hence,  I would like to share more about my thoughts the products I received.

K-Palatte Eyeliner 24H Waterproof

(Red Ribbon Limited Edition packaging)

K-Platte was the 2nd eyeliner pen I bought when I first started playing with make-up.

To be honest when I first saw the product at Watsons, I was attracted to their limited edition pen liner pink packaging. Ever since I used it, it's difficult to switch to other pen liners. This is still the best.

Even Shu Ann featured this products in one of her 'Tried and Tested' episodes.

I have been a great fan of K-palette waterproof pen eyeliner for 6 years.

And I always have backups of this pen liner in both black and brown shade.

The formula is not too wet which allows it to set quickly after application. 

Most importantly, it is waterproof! 

Automatic Beauty Cosmetics: Eyebrow Powder

I used the brown shade as a normal day to day brow powder.

This product is easy to blend and looks pretty natural like other normal brow powders in the market.

Do not be afraid to try out the pink shade. Just a light brush of it on your brows and you blend it out with a brow brush, it can easily be covered by your natural brow hair. 

You may wish to add a hint of pink shade when you feel adventurous.

Or if you would like to try something new this Halloween, you may go heavy handed on the pink shade to make your brows stand out.

Kuu KonJac Cleansing Sponge

When I first opened the packet, the sponge feels like a rough piece of rock. After soaking it in lukewarm water, the sponge will be soften and it expands to a really squishy sponge. 

This sponge can be used with or without a cleanser. 

Apparently, This sponge has deep cleansing properties and exfoliates the skin from the layers of dead cells and accelerates the regeneration process to leave the skin hydrated and looking radiant.

I really love how gentle this sponge is compared to the ones I previously used. 

MICHE BLOOMIN' LADY POINT 14

Although, I do not have much experience using false lashes. 

My experienced from wearing this pair of false lashes last night has been great. It appears really natural on my eyes and the band of the lashes is pretty comfortable.

PROSTYLE FUWARIE: INTENSIVE REPAIR HAIR OIL

This hair oil that provides intensive repair to badly damaged hair ends it repairs and coats damaged cuticles, leaving hair shiny and sleek. I applied this to the ends of my hair before blow drying it with a hairdryer. 

My hair feels really smooth and smells very nice.

The this day cream includes oil that helps to soothe sunburn and other skin irritations. 

The smell of the cream produces a calming effect.

My thoughts?

I have mild sensitive skin hence, I am really excited about to try out their products when I first received it.

After testing it for 2 weeks, my top 3 favourites from this brand are:

1. Freshen Up Seaweed Collagen Water Cream.

I really love how light weight it is for my combination slight oily skin. I can only use gel moisturisers on my face as it gets really oily when I am out running errands during the day.

2. One for All Regenerating Night Cream.

Do not be fooled by the name "Night Cream". Supposedly, the night creams in the market are too thick for my skin and way to oily. However, this night cream's texture is even lighter compared to the Blessingly Pick day cream. 

3.  Savory Organic Rose Otto Hydrosol.

Works well for me whenever I just finished cleansing my face and I need a little of moisture to ease the tightness of my skin.

The Brand: Basic Theory.

Founded by 2 Singaporean ladies in year 2015.

Their products are inspired by the nature which includes products that they want to include in daily care regime. Fret not about the product contents as, their products are all natural and free from chemical additives.

Basic Theory: Just Earl Grey Polish. 44g (Full size 180g at $18.90)

This body scrub contains organic earl grey tea leaves that are packed with antioxidants, designed to reverse damage to your skin from harmful UV rays.

Basic Theory: Brightening Wash-off scrub & Mask. 5g (Full size 40g at $15.90)

A two-in-one facial scrub and mask with a special formulation of rice bran, brown rice and Frankincense oil that gently exfoliates and brightens up the skin.

Basic Theory: Balancing Facial Toner. 10ml (Full size 150g at $20.90)

Specially formulated for combination to oily skin. Addition of Ylang Ylang oil regularizes sebum production and minimizes occurrence of breakouts. Improves skin texture by aiding in the process of cells regeneration. 

Basic Theory: Hydrating Facial Toner. 10ml (Full size 150g at $20.90)

Toner and a face mist specially formulated for normal to dry skin. Addition of Frankincense oil aids in balancing the amount of sebum and moisture secretion, keeping the face looking young and radiant by reducing the appearance of marks and wrinkles.

My Thoughts?

I love the products that I have tried so far. The toners are really just like those spring water mist that were available in the market, light weight and hassle free. Just that these toners has a hint of refreshing scent to it which I absolutely love! I am saving these up for my next trip! 

For a tea lover like me, there isn't any reason for me to dislike the Earl Grey polish. And the brightening mask reminds me a lot of the Skinfood Rice Wash Off mask. Both smell heavenly good!

It is really difficult for me to pick my favourite product as I really enjoy experimenting Basic Theory products.

Etude House Dreaming Swan Collection

Etude House released Dreaming Swan Collection in collaboration with Kerrie Hess!

I can't resist myself from the sweet pink packaging. As far as I have to restrain myself from splurging so much on makeup, here are some of my picks from the collection.

These products were purchased in Korea. 

It will be available tentatively on 1st June 2015. 

Prices shown is a conversion from the price paid in Korea. 

Exact price that will be sold in Singapore is still unavailable.

The Dreaming Swan Mini Pouch.

Cost: 8000Won, SGD$9.60

 Lipsticks included are not part of the collection.

 Just for you to gauge the size of the pouch. 

Dreaming Swan Eye & Cheek

Cost: 13,000Won. SGD$15.90

Yes, just like how it is named, you can use this as an eyeshadow or as a blush.

Dreaming Swan Eye & Cheek in shade #2 Pointe Coral

This is a light peachy coral shade that is great for everyday use. 

Dreaming Swan Eye & Cheek in shade #1 Jete Pink

This product leans more towards a baby milky pink shade.

The Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek contains very tiny micro shimmers and has a sheer finish. 

If you would like to use is as an eyeshadow, you will definitely need to use a eye primer underneath this product. There is no scent to this product, which is a plus point for users who has sensitive skin. 

Dreaming Swan Shine Volumer

Cost: 7500Won. SGD$9.20

Basically, this is a multi purpose product. You can use this as a cream shadow base, or as a highlighter on your collar bones or on your forehead and cheekbones. If you would want to use this to highlight the high points of your face. I would recommend you to be light handed on this product.  

 Dreaming Swan Shine Volumer in shade #3 Shine TuTu

 It has a gel consistency and  I love the texture of it. It glides on smoothly on my eyelids. Once the product sets, it does not budge. 

I like to use this as a highlight for my under eye lid or dab a small amount of it at the centre of my eyelid for a 3 dimensional effect.

This product is great for those who really love a sparkling eye look as this product is pretty shimmery.

Dreaming Swan Any Cushion Case

Cost: 8000Won. SGD$9.80

Note: BB cushion and case are sold separately.
