[Sponsored] CandyDoll Spring 2012 Lip Gloss in Cotton Candy 「キャンディドールリップグロス コットンキャンディ」
As I've mentioned in the previous entry,
I've gotten the 2 latest CandyDoll Lip Glosses from CandyDoll Singapore!
[Thanks to M.O.S.S (S) Pte Ltd, the sole exclusive distributor in Singapore for CandyDoll]

These CandyDoll Lip Glosses in Juicy Cherry and Cotton Candy are available 
exclusively at 50 Watsons Store island wide.

Since I've already talked about the on in Juicy Cherry yesterday,

It's time for Cotton Candy shade today!

Try telling me you don't need a sweet pink gloss after looking at this.
Try.

Every girl ought to have a sweet pinkish gloss!

Product Shot


They recommend using Ramune Pink Lipstick with the Cotton Candy Shade:
^Upper lip without products, lower lip with CandyDoll Ramune Pink Lipstick
followed by Cotton Candy Lip Gloss.

Here's another shot with just Cotton Candy on my lips without any lipstick.
^Upper lip with no product, lower lip with just Cotton Candy Lip Gloss.

The pink is just too sweet!

Visual Easy Rating for CandyDoll Lip Gloss in Juicy
Cherry 「キャンディドールリップグロス コットンキャンデ:

Manufacturing Country: Japan

Product Weight: TBA

Product Ingredients:Hydrogenated Polyisobuten. Diisostearyl Malate, 
Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Dextrin Palmitate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, 
Microcristallina Cera, Tocopherol, Simethicone, CI 15850. C1 73360, Sodium 
Hyaluronate

Product Texture: Mildly Sticky

Scent: 1/10 - Likewise, no scent at all. [Sorry if you were hoping for sweet
Cotton candy smell or taste!]

Packaging: 8.5/10 - The packaging remained simple; though it's just stripes
on the applicator side of the tube, it actually gives it that little extra touch that
makes its overall tad bit girl-ier.

Pigmentation: 6.5/10 - Like the Juicy Cherry, it is not that intense but do bear
in mind that this is a lip gloss, not lip stain; therefore, don't expect it to be that
prominent. It is more geared towards helping to enhance colours. When used
over the Ramune Pink Lipstick, it looks unbearably sweet *insert squeal here*

Lasting Power : 7/10 -  They stayed for a considerable amount of time [about 
4 hours during my stay at coffee bean before I felt the need to touch up, no it
was a different coffee bean from when I tasted the Juicy Cherry >.> ]

Moisturize : 8.5/10 - I'm glad the formula remained awesome when it comes 
to the moisturizing part.

Availability: 8.5/10 - As aforementioned, these are available in 50 Watsons
Store Island Wide! How can you miss a Watsons store? It's everywhere!

Price: 7/10 - I am not too sure about the price though, I think it's around
SGD $25.90 in Watsons [correct me if I'm wrong] It might seem a tad bit pricey
for a lip gloss but then again, I always don't mind paying that little bit more for
products from Japan so it's not a huge issue for me.

Repurchase: Yes. I have always preferred CandyDoll Gloss over other brands
and let's face it, we all need a pink gloss. I rather spend a little more on a
Japan produced [on top of it, by Tsu-chan] lip gloss in that case.

Overall Rating: 8/10

There you have it, the other colour from CandyDoll's Spring 2012 release!
Previously, I used their Strawberry Milk as my main pink gloss but I find myself
searching for this more now instead!

Do head over to CandyDoll Singapore's Official Facebook Page and "like" their
page as they have constant updates/ promotions to pamper you lovely ladies!

Also, if you have always been curious to try out the CandyDoll Base Products

[Sponsored] CandyDoll Spring 2012 Lip Gloss in Juicy Cherry 「キャンディドールリップグロス ジュシ―チェリー」
I've gotten the 2 latest CandyDoll Lip Glosses from CandyDoll Singapore!
[Thanks to M.O.S.S (S) Pte Ltd, the sole exclusive distributor in Singapore for CandyDoll]

That's right! They are CandyDoll Spring 2012 Releases!
The CandyDoll Lip Gloss in Juicy Cherry and Cotton Candy, available 
exclusively at 50 Watsons Store island wide!

Today I will be reviewing the one in Juicy Cherry 「ジュシ―チェリー」

I sure hope you are as excited as I was!
The moment I saw these in the magazine, I was like "OKAY, MUST GET THEM!"

Product Shot


They recommend using Apricot Beige Lipstick with this shade of gloss but I only
had the Vanilla Beige Lipstick so here's how Juicy Cherry looked on top of 
Vanilla Beige Lipstick:
^Upper lip without products, bottom lip with Vanilla Beige Lipstick from Candy
Doll followed by Juicy Cherry Lip Gloss from CandyDoll.

Here's another shot with just Juicy Cherry on my lips without any lipstick.
^Upper lip with no product, lower lip with just Juicy Cherry.

Pretty or what~
Initially, I was mistaken and used Ramune Pink Lipstick with Juicy Cherry, so 
the colour turned out to be more pinkish than red. Those photos taken with
the lip gloss itself [me dressed in the black & white knitwear] have my lips in
that combination, thus they look pinkish~ But nonetheless, I did realise that
the pink that turned out from my little "blunder" from misreading their 
recommendations looks pretty neat too!
^Lips with CandyDoll Ramune Pink Lipstick and Juicy Cherry Lip Gloss

Visual Easy Rating for CandyDoll Lip Gloss in Juicy
Cherry 「キャンディドールリップグロス ジュシ―チェリー」:

Manufacturing Country: Japan

Product Weight: TBA

Product Ingredients:Hydrogenated Polyisobuten. Diisostearyl Malate,

Microcristallina Cera, Tocopherol, Simethicone, CI 15850. C1 73360, Sodium 
Hyaluronate

Product Texture: Mildly Sticky

Scent: 1/10 - I'm pretty sure I did not detect any smell [unless something is
wrong with my nose]

Packaging: 8.5/10 - The packaging remained simple; though it's just stripes
on the applicator side of the tube, it actually gives it that little extra touch that
makes its overall tad bit girl-ier.

Pigmentation: 6.5/10 - While it looked very red in the tube, when used on the
lips, it did not turn out that intense [Evident from the photo where I used it
directly on my lower lip] . Not much of a surprise, considering how the gloss is 
pretty light [formula-wise]. It is, after all, a lip gloss, not lip stain. It does stand
out more when used with the nude coloured lipstick [Vanilla Beige, in this case]

Lasting Power : 7/10 -  They stayed for a considerable amount of time [about 
4 hours during my stay at coffee bean before I felt the need to touch up]

Moisturize : 8.5/10 - I've always loved this part about CandyDoll Lip Gloss!
They don't make my lips feel dry or anything like that; I like going over my
lip balm with them.

Availability: 8.5/10 - As aforementioned, these are available in 50 Watsons
Store Island Wide! How can you miss a Watsons store? It's everywhere!

Price: 7/10 - I am not too sure about the price though, I think it's around
SGD $25.90 in Watsons [correct me if I'm wrong] It might seem a tad bit pricey
for a lip gloss but then again, I always don't mind paying that little bit more for
products from Japan so it's not a huge issue for me.

Repurchase: Yes. I have always preferred CandyDoll Gloss over other brands,
this colour is pretty easy to work with [since it's not as red as it seemed in the
tube] and helps to enhance the natural lip colour's red tones.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Super in love with it [yes, party because it's from Tsu-chan ^^;;]
I have yet to try using this gloss with red lipstick but I'm pretty psyched about
doing that~ After all, bold red lips are what's hot this year.

[Review] Candy Doll Mineral Face Powder 「キャンディドール フェイスパウダー」

I know there are some people waiting for this.
Sorry it took so damn long!
I finally got my ass down and determined to churn this review up no matter
what!

So what am I referring to?


Can't see the product clearly? Here's a huge shot that you absolutely cannot miss.
 

That's right! Candy Doll Mineral Powder [Purple Packaging]
I have to say, definitely a WAY overdue review and there are probably a gazillion
out there by now but... I still have to share~


First started using it some time last year, I think I bought this myself?


Anyway, I have to complement on how fine the powder is!


Here we go~


Candy Doll Mineral Face Powder 「キャンディドール フェイスパウダー」:


Product Weight : 10g

Product Ingredients: Talc, Synthetic Phlogopite, (HDI/ Trimethylol Hexyl
Lactone) cross Polymer, (Dimethicone/ Methicone) copolymer, Silica, Ca
Carbonate, Iron Oxide, Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract


Product type: Loose Powder

Scent: 0/10 - I really cannot detect any scent at all. 

Packaging: 7.5/10
 - It is pretty much a standard sized tub for loose powder;
compartment for powder and face puff separated by the sieve. One of the 
reasons I don't really fancy bringing loose powder around is because of the
bulk it packs; compared to face/pressed powder, it is usually about 30- 50% 
thicker. I do, however, love the black and white stripes with purple printed 
words.

Coverage: 3.5/10
- This is a loose powder, what coverage were you
expecting 
from it? I do wear this on top of just sunblock on better skin days
though, to 
act like I have no make up on and yet still very good skin(笑)

Texture: 9/10 - Smooth, fine and extremely lightweight. 

Blendability : 9/10 - It blends with and sets my foundation extremely well. It
does not make my foundation look cakey, giving it a very natural finish.


Lasting Power: 8/10 - I don't touch up when I leave house and my foundation
usually last over 10 hours with this.

Availability: 8.5/10 It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways!

Price: 7/10 - I believe it is retailing in Watsons at $33.90 each. Yes, a tad bit
pricier than normal loose powder [Candy doll items are not included in
Watsons members sale) but look, it's made in Japan! That statement itself
makes me more willing to pay more [and the cute packaging, of course.]

Repurchase: Yes. I really loved the texture [fine-ness] of the powder and
the cute packaging [not to forget, TSU-CHAN!] so a definite repurchase for me.

Overall Rating: 8.75/10

All in all, I really liked the product. The only setback is that portability [I know
that no matter how much more bulk it packs, it is not that difficult to carry it in
your make-up bag but still, I have to compare it fairly with competing products]
and the price.

My work here is done! :3

Candy Doll Liquid Foundation in Shade 01 「キャンディドール リキッドファンデーション 01」 Review
Sorry this took so long!
I seldom use liquid foundation, so I had to try and work around with it before I
could come up with my review ^-^




Product weight & Price


When used


Candy Doll Liquid Foundation in Shade 01
「キャンディドール リキッドファンデーション01」 :

Product Weight : 30g

Product Ingredients: Gomen ne, too many technical names that cannot be
translated/ turned out weird so I shall not list the ingredients here. However,
ingredients can be found on the packaging & at the website in Japanese.

Foundation type: Liquid

Packaging: 9.5/10 - I really like this packaging [not only because there are
pink bits ^^''] Firstly, it comes in a  packaging akin to our "liquid correction
tape" which is mega hygienic. You have to shake before dispensing, very
sanitary too! [Because you drip the product on your hand, so there is
absolutely zero contact with the mouth of the product bottle.] The bottle is
translucent, so you can see how much product still remains.

Coverage: 7/10 - This foundation provides a medium to medium-high
coverage. Red spots can be concealed [I skip concealer most of the time but
even if I need a fuller coverage on the day of using this, I do not see the need
to add on concealer too]

Texture: 7/10 - The texture is very fluid, slightly [really very very slightly]
viscous. However, it did not really pose much of a problem in terms of
application. After application, it does not feel heavy on my face too [which is
really the best part! I shunned away from foundation all the time because I
tried several liquid ones and they provide really good coverage but I do feel a
tad bit like there's a gunk/ layer on my face. I think most foundation give me
this kind of feeling because they provide really good coverage, which I don't
need.]

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends good! I use a foundation brush when blending,
and just my fingers when I'm in a rush. Both did not pose any problems like
patchy-ness.

Lasting Power: 7.5/10 - It lasted pretty darn long. The above picture of me
was taken about 4.5 hours after applying the foundation. Still awesome
coverage!

Availability: 8.5/10 - It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways

Price: 4/10 - I personally think the price is over the top. I got a friend who
went Japan to buy it for me, so I paid 2310 yen (approx. SGD $36) for it. If you
talk about how long one can use it for, doing the "amount per day" calculation,
yes it might be worth it but compared to other brands and foundations
available [talking about drugstore], this is definitely much more expensive.
Watsons is selling it at SGD $41.90 [understandable that they have to be
on par with Japan pricing and recoup shipping. Online, BlingAlways sells it at SGD $38.90.

Repurchase: Yes. For starters, I am totally sold by the packaging. It's so
compact and convenient to bring around, the consistency and texture of the
product felt comfortable on my skin. However, the price being a huge setback,
might make me do a double take in future or I will perhaps use this pretty
seldom since it's difficult to repurchase and expensive.

Overall Rating: 7/10

I wanted to throw a 7.5, but looking at the availability issue and price again,
settled with a 7. Love hate relationship with this product. [I just don't seem to
be able to justify paying so much for drugstore foundation D: Then again, it's
Tsu-chan...] Not a holy grail/ must have product I would say, there are better
or equivalent products out there for similar price. If you haven't gotten it/ tried
it, you are not really missing out much!

Still, if you wish to get it, I will recommend to head over to BlingAlways to
purchase it as of the few online shops that carry it, it is by far the cheapest 
of them all! Do remember to quote "LoveHimeko" for Free Postage! :3


Oh yes, don't forget to "like" BlingAlways Facebook Page too!
[ahem ahem, and mine too!]

Candy Doll Powder Foundation in Shade 01 「キャンディドール パウダーファンデーション01」 Review

Hi guys~
Bringing you another review :3
I don't really know how to do foundation review T.T
But I don't think you will need to see swatches because... it's like my skin tone... right?
Let me know if you want them.
I'll just show you product shots and when used for now.







Candy Doll Powder Foundation in Shade 01
「キャンディドール パウダーファンデーション01」 :

Product Weight : 10g

Product Ingredients: Talc, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Methacrylate
Mechirukurosuporima (?), Isotridecyl Isononanoate, Hydrogen Dimethicone,
Silica, Dimethicone, Hexa (hydroxystearic acide/ stearic acid/ rosin acid),
Jipentaerisurichiru (?), Stearic Acid, Zinc Oxide, Hydroxide, Al, Phenoxyethanol,
Iron Oxides.
[Sorry, 2 of the ingredients cannot be translated... I tried my best to read and
fit words in but they just can't work!]

Foundation type: Powder

Packaging: 9/10 - Firstly, it's pink. Secondly, black stripes. Thirdly, compact.
Fourthly, comes with mirror inside and the sponge is kept at a separate
compartment from the powder (more hygienic). MAD LOVE IT!

Coverage: 6.5/10 - The foundation is not really a "heavy duty" type, meaning
if you are looking for high coverage, this will not work for you. This one only
boost up to medium coverage. If you have alot of blemishes/ scars/ redness to
cover, do use a concealer before using this!

Texture: 8/10 - Smooth and fine! Very lightweight on my face too. I also liked
how it did not crack on my face. [I have very extreme skin conditions; it can go
from dry (even peeling sometimes) to oily in just an hour or less] Huge plus
point and another reason why I will use it again (I tried some other compact
foundation before, but ended up cracking on my face).

Blendability : 8.5/10 - It blends splendidly! The powder is fine so it's kinda
expected eh?

Lasting Power: 7.5/10 - It lasted pretty darn long. When I use it just as
foundation, it lasted about 5 to 6 hours. When I use it very lightly as a veil
over liquid foundation/ bb cream, my face stayed shine free for nearly 7 hours!

Availability: 8.5/10 It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways!

Price: 4/10 - I personally think the price is over the top. I got a friend who
went Japan to buy it for me, so I paid 2100 yen (appox. SGD $33) for it. If you
talk about how long one can use it for, doing the "amount per day" calculation,
yes it might be worth it but compared to other brands and foundations
available [talking about drugstore], this is definitely much more expensive.
Watsons is selling it at SGD $40.90 [understandable that they have to be
on par with Japan pricing and recoup shipping. Online, BlingAlways sells it at SGD $36.90. 

Repurchase: Yes. I don't need extremely high coverage most of the time
because I think it's more natural when my flaws (I do have very bad 
blemishes) peek through the veil of powder on my face. It is lightweight, which
is a plus point for repurchase (but the price is a huge setback though...) I can
always slap on some concealer if I want to conceal my flaws (that's what
concealers are for, right?!)

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

If not for the price, I would have given it a 9.5!
Super love this though, but it's really hard to get and while I would love to
repurchase it, it will really burn a big hole in my pocket =/ Love hate
relationship with this product! [I just don't seem to be able to justify paying
so much for drugstore foundation D: Then again, it's Tsu-chan... xD]

I will recommend to head over to BlingAlways to
purchase it as of the few online shops that carry it, it is by far the cheapest 
of them all! Do remember to quote "LoveHimeko" for Free Postage! :3

Candy Doll Highlight Cream Beige 「キャンディドールハイライト クリームベージュ」 Review

Highlight review :3

Candy Doll Highlight Cream Beige 「キャンディドールハイライト クリームベージュ」


1st one from the right




Candy Doll Highlight Cream Beige 「キャンディドールハイライト クリームベージュ」:

Product Weight : Not stated [I suppose 2.5g/ 3g]

Product Ingredients: Talc, mica, nylon-12, boron nitride, diisostearyl malate,
stearic acid, Mg, jojoba seed oil, phenoxyethanol, Gunjou, phenoxyethanol,
tocopherol, methylparaben, olive oil, Tetraisopalmitate Ascorbyl acid,
(HDI /Torimechiroruhekishirurakuton Crosspolymer, Silica, Hyaluronic acid, Na,
Titanium dioxide, hyroxide, Al, iron oxide, 226 red, 104 red (1)

Hightlight type: Micro Shimmer

Packaging: 8/10 - Simple design, gives it a very "clean" cut outlook. Small and
compact, easy to bring around!

Pigmentation: 7.5/10 - This, being a highlight, have good color payoff [the
intensity might be amplified due to the contrast in color of skin and creamy
(almost white) yellowish color.

Texture: 8/10 - Smooth! The powder packed is really fine and smooth, did not
experience fallouts/ powder at all.

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends nicely and easily, did not have to really work alot
with blending it.

Lasting Power: 8/10
- Like the diamond beauty highlight, this last longer
than the fellow cheek color from the same line. Stayed on for about 5 hours
before I had to touch up.

Availability: 8.5/10 - It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways!

Price: 6.5/10 - Watsons is selling it at SGD $25.90. Online, BlingAlways sells it for SGD $21.90.

Repurchase: Yes. The powder is blended into skin so nicely and it really
helps to bring more attention to the flatter areas where this highlight is
applied. Light falls on these area and really helps to "push" them outwards.

Overall Rating: 8/10

For a highlight, it served it's purpose well! It really blended with my skin so
well  because the powder is really fine. The shimmers were micro shimmer
(I think...), so it was not overwhelming but it still helped to define our flatter
areas (nose, area between eye and upper cheekbone) and catching the light
that falls on them well!

Note:
I have not used blush from other countries [my blush are all from Japan....
except for the 28 bulsh palette from Coastal Scents] so generally, it's a
comparison with other blushes from Japan for the scale. [Eg. Canmake,
Melliesh, Eyemazing Cosme, Diamond Beauty]

I will recommend to head over to BlingAlways to purchase it as of the few
online shops that carry it, it is by far the cheapest of them all! Do remember to
quote "LoveHimeko" for Free Postage! :3


Oh yes, don't forget to "like" BlingAlways Facebook Page too!
[ahem ahem, and mine too!]

I'm on a roll! :3
bibies everyone, you will see more piccies later tonight of my haul from Japan!
(yes, more hauls, thanks to my lovely spree-er who helped me bring them
back!)

Candy Doll Cheek Color Peach Pink 「キャンディドール チークカラー ピーチピンク Review

Another blush review :3


Candy Doll Cheek Color Peach Pink「キャンディドールチークカラー ピーチピンク


2nd one from the left


Sorry I will put in picture of the blush on face later!

Candy Doll Cheek Color Peach Pink
「キャンディドール チークカラー ピーチピンク」:

Product Weight : Not stated [I suppose 2.5g/ 3g]

Product Ingredients: Talc, mica, nylon-12, cetyl ethylhexanoate, dimethicone,
Jiiso isostearate malate, isostearic acid, Mg, jojoba seed oil, phenoxyethanol,
tocopherol, methylparaben, olive oil, ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate,
(HDI /Torimechiroruhekishirurakuton Crosspolymer, Silica, Hyaluronic acid, Na,
(+/-) Titanium, oxide, hyroxide, Al, iron oxide, Gunjou 226 red, 104 red (1)

Blush type: Matte

Packaging: 8/10 - Simple design, gives it a very "clean" cut outlook. Small and
compact, easy to bring around!

Pigmentation: 6/10 - The color looks light on pan and payoff is good.
However, talking about pigmentation here, the colour came off really soft and
light, thus to get it to show on your cheeks, you will need to work with it a little more and build the blush on your cheeks.

Texture: 8/10 - Smooth! The powder packed is really fine and smooth, did not
experience fallouts/ powder all over the hollows of my cheek.

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends nicely and does not have patches/ uneven
colour distribution on my cheeks.

Lasting Power: 6.5/10 - I'm not sure if it's because the colour is really light or
it really can't last as long as the other blush from the same line (e.g.
Strawberry pin) but I had to touch up after about 3.5 - 4 hours.

Availability: 8.5/10 - It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways!

Price: 6.5/10 - Watsons is selling it at SGD $25.90. Online, BlingAlways sells it for SGD $21.90. 

Repurchase: Yes. Serves as a good "base" and give the subtle color for a
natural look! 

Overall Rating: 7/10

For this blush, I do not use it as a sole cheek colour most of the time. I use it
as a "base" for my cheek before layering another colour which is more intense
[like strawberry pink] when I do gyaru style makeup. The reason why I use a
lighter pink as "base" first is so that the transition from the bright, hot pink
color to my skin color will be smoother and less harsh [because the contrast
is huge].

However, on light makeup/ natural makeup days, I can just slap this on for a
very slight/ subtle hint of color on my cheeks and it comes off really natural.

I have not used blush from other countries [my blush are all from Japan....
except for the 28 bulsh palette from Coastal Scents] so generally, it's a
comparison with other blushes from Japan for the scale. [Eg. Canmake,
Melliesh, Eyemazing Cosme, Diamond Beauty]

I will recommend to head over to BlingAlways to purchase it as of the few
online shops that carry it, it is by far the cheapest of them all! Do remember to

Candy Doll Cheek Color Strawberry Pink
「キャンディドール チークカラー ストルベリーピンク」
:

Product Weight : Not stated [I suppose 2.5g/ 3g]

Product Ingredients: Talc, mica, nylon-12, cetyl ethylhexanoate, dimethicone,
isostearic acid, Mg, jojoba seed oil, phenoxyethanol, tocopherol,
methylparaben, olive oil, ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate,
(HDI /Torimechiroruhekishirurakuton Crosspolymer, Silica, Hyaluronic acid, Na,
Titanium, oxide, hyroxide, Al, iron oxide, Gunjou 226 red, 104 red (1)

Blush type: Matte

Packaging: 8/10 - Simple design, gives it a very "clean" cut outlook. Small and
compact, easy to bring around!

Pigmentation: 8/10 - The color is very rich and strong! One swipe and an
adequate amount comes onto your fingers/ brush. It might look very
intimidating on the pan, but really, when used on the cheeks, it is not that
strong!

Texture: 8/10 - Smooth! The powder packed is really fine and smooth, did not
experience fallouts/ powder all over the hollows of my cheek.

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends nicely and does not have patches/ uneven
colour distribution on my cheeks.

Lasting Power: 7/10 - Last for about 4 hours before I have to touch up.
Slightly longer [about an hour] if I've not been exposed to the sun~

Availability: 8.5/10 - It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways!

Price: 6.5/10 - Watsons is selling it at SGD $25.90. Online, BlingAlways sells it for SGD $21.90. 

Repurchase: Yes! This colour is one that every gyaru needs!

Overall Rating: 7.5/10

Yes, I have finally used it enough to give a review!
Originally wanted to give it an 8 but I felt the price and availability deserved
slightly more points taken off so it became a 7.5~
It's a plus point that it contains olive oil, jojobead oil and hyaluronic acid which
are all good babies for our skin. However, do take note it contains talc [if you are
a "mineral only" person and is very against talc, you might not want to try this]
I cannot justify reviewing it just after 1 use because it's unfair to the product
and I don't think it is very honest given my bias towards Japanese products.
this blush is matte, which is the trend from model released Cosme if you realise.
Also, I have not used blush from other countries [my blush are all from Japan....
except for the 28 bulsh palette from Coastal Scents] so generally, it's a
comparison with other blushes from Japan for the scale. [Eg. Canmake, Melliesh,
Eyemazing Cosme, Diamond Beauty]
Also, I wanted to try more blushes before jumping into writing a review without
knowing much about blushes. This way, I can do a comparison.
So I hope you guys understand why it took me so long to do this review as I
wanted to do one that is helpful, not just a shallow first impression/ jump to
conclusion review (:

I will recommend to head over to BlingAlways to purchase it as of the few
online shops that carry it, it is by far the cheapest of them all! Do remember to
quote "LoveHimeko" for Free Postage! :3


Oh yes, don't forget to "like" BlingAlways Facebook Page too!
[ahem ahem, and mine too!]

キャンティドール Candy Doll Lipstick Swatches

Hello!
Bring you some Candy Doll Product piccies today~
If you've been reading my blog, I said that I bought 2 lippies from Candy Doll,
short of the last colour to complete the collection.
However, I am not very interested in the last colour and it so happens that
darling bought that colour!
So today, she finally came over to my house to play with my make and I got
the chance to see how the colour looked and even tried it on!
No lip piccie though because my lips were so chapped I deleted the pic.
Here are the mentioned products:

バニラベージュ、アプリコットベージュ、ラムネピンク
Vanilla Beige, Apricot Beige, Lemonade Pink


Close up of each product:
バニラベージュ [Vanilla Beige]


アプリコットベージュ [Apricot Beige]


ラムネピンク [Lemonade Pink]


Lining the babies~


How each tube looks like


So here are how the colours look from their tubes


I only have hand swatches for this, ごめん〜
Top - Lemonade Pink, Middle - Vanilla Beige, Bottom - Apricot Beige

But these are the ones I own ^^

Yep, so that's all people!

And to make up for this lackster post, I played with some of my tkb micas
just so I could post the outrageous eye make here.
Sorry darling, I couldn't give you too much tkb micas because I don't have
enough containers~ Bring your own next time! xD

I was looking at Leesha's vids and came across this certain eye make and
decided to try it, here's my result~ [It was a vid talking about Lime Crime]


Green bambi contact lens compliment so well!


Here's a comparison between before and after~


In case you are interested, the TKB Trading micas I used are:
Lotsa Lime, Capricon Sea, Lemon Pop!, Colorona Blue, Blackstar Blue.

Orange is really unique and kinda hard to work with~
After the first failed attempt, I tried it again yesternight and this is what I managed~



Easy to overdo, so I only used very very lightly~


And you might have noticed the new contact lens.
Review for the mystery contact lens coming up next!
