Face products for the month of July

Hello, i'm trying my best to say hello in all languages. Haha. Anyway, back with another post today! 

Face products for the month of July! 

Based on my previous posts, i've said that i'm trying out a lot of new face products right? Well, most of them are working well for me. But in today's post, i'm gonna share to you guys on the thigs that i bought...today for me to actually use for the month of August. 

My facial cleanser, Cetaphil is all gone now and i'm not planning to buy another bottle of it because i'm thinking of trying out a new facial cleanser "Neutrogena" i needed a chance cause i found out that the Cetaphil facial cleanser did not remove all the dirts on my face so i'm giving something else a try. 

I'm also trying out a new moisturizer for my face. I'm currently using Nivea's Soft Face, Body and Hands moisturizing cream right now but as days goes by, i found out that the texture of the cream is too greasy for my face and it gets a little bit oily sometimes so i came across this moiturizing cream, its the L'Oreal Hydrafresh moisturizing cream and the good thing about this is, the texture of the product is like a aqua-gel texture. So it's like water consistency! 

As many of you may not know this, but i am currently working part-time at a kids beach club and i'm always deployed as the lifeguard and all i have do is guard the boatswain area! What does it means? 

Beach + pool + boat = UNDER THE SUN! My skins will really beg me so much if i don't feed them good stuff! 

I tried being under the sun WITHOUT putting on sunscreen and hell no, it isn't a great idea and i regretted it a lot! I have uneven tanlines right now and all this is because of my rashguard that is in shorg sleeves! I regretted not getting the long sleeves and look, i have to live with uneven tanlines! Ugh. 

I also bought a sunscreen for my poor unever tanline skin! So i will put it everytime i'm doing lifeguard duty! 

To sum up today's post, here's some picture of what i bought today! 

Next post will be about : Street Style Phooshoot! Stay tuned!

Back to school & JEM

Yes, i'm sure when you read the title, some of you have guessed it right! It's my first day of school for Semester 2 today! 

I've always looked forward to first day of school last time when i was still in my secondary/high school days. My best friends, close friends, juniors and hehe, crushes is all in same school! My home wasn't far from my school last time but now...the place where i'm schooling, its so far away from home. (Not like from Singapore to Paris) but i'm staying at the eastern side of Singapore and my school is located at the western side of Singapore. I spend most of my time, in school & in the train travelling back and forth! I do this all for education purposes! 

Since it was the first day of school today, i ended quite late around 5pm. My friends and i decided to make our very first visit to the newly opened shopping mall called "Jurong East Mall" located at Jurong East (obviously). 

I've heard a lot of people saying that its similar to the shopping malls that are available in downtown Singapore. It's indeed true. It's better than a normal shopping mall but it can never beat a mall located at town area. Sephora, Victoria Secret, H&M and Topshop is also available @ JEM (short form).

I didn't get anything from H&M because i just spent $28 on make-up brushes and concealer from ELF. But! That doesn't mean i didn't eye for anything during my trip to JEM, H&M. I will get the things that i want as soon as i have golden coins and notes in my bank. 

School is amazing today, here's a pic to end of my post! 

          (They're always my happy pills) 

Till then

Review: Freeman Facial Purifying Clay Mask

Review on Freeman's Facial Purifying Clay Mask in Acai flavor. 

(I'm actually blogging this with the mask on my face right now, hehe)

In my previous post, i've said that i bought a mask from Freeman right? Today, i bought it again with my mum. I have two different mask right now. One is in the Peel Off Cucumber Mask & Acai Clay Mask. 

I've tried the peel off mask and i'm really amazed by the fact that the mask really cools, tighten, lightened and removes dirt from my face. 

"A peel off mask is known for getting the oil and dirt away from the face, hence, lighten and also tighten up all those visible pores!" 

I'm really satisfied with it that i bought another one today and actually using it right now. 

This clay mask really helps to make my skin feels firmer! The moment i apply in on my face, i could already feel the tingling sensation! 

As instructed, for better results, apply this mask 3 to 4 times a week! Since i have two different mask, i'm gonna change it every single week! This mask not only helps to cleanse, it also helps to freshen and lighten up our faces! 

Sidenote, i went out today to get my hair products because my hairfall is getting from bad to worst! So i'm currently using this product called "V'tane Pro-System" for my hair and i'll do a review as soon as i see improvements to my hair! 

                         Till then, 

                     Xoxo, Athirah :) 

New Skincare and Bodycare products

Hey! 

I just bought a few new skincare and body care products today. Like i say in my previous post, i am constantly trying to improve my complexion and also trying more products for my face...

Skincare

• Freeman Facial PEEL OFF mask in cucumber
• St.Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub

I bought this two products at different shops. I wanted to buy it at Watsons but the prices are way too expensive for a facial scrub and a peel off mask. For the mask, it is said that it will help to reduce oily face and also minimize pores. 

DID YOU KNOW?

A peel off mask is good for people who have oily skin. The effects of a peeling mask will help to bring all the dirt and oil out of your skin and pores and it will help to minimize oily skin...It also smooth the skin out and keep it soft! 

You can get the facial mask and Apricot scrub at any local drug store like "Beauty Essential or Venus" 

Body Care

Yes, this is my second tub of the Strawberry Body Butter from The Body Shop! I've been loving this body butter since i was 16! My mum bought it for me last two days when we're shopping around Tampines Mall. I wanted to get the Passionfruit perfume too but i don't think so. Haha.

I will try this products and will do a review on this products soon ok? 

Till then,

Everyday Make Up Routine

I did a post on my "SKINCARE ROUTINE" yesterday, remember? In today's post, I will be posting about my...

EVERYDAY MAKE UP ROUTINE! 

I'm really excited to share it with all of you! Just some reminder that i have to let all of you know."This make up routine is a simple and light make up that i apply everyday to school or whenever i go out to run some errands with my family. For those of you who likes to apply light make up, i really hope this post helps!"

Let's get started! 

These are the products that I'm using.

(from the left) 

- Pixy Two Way Cake Powder Foundation

- Biore UV Aqua Rich Sunscreen SPF 50+

- Maybelline Mineral BB Watergel in shade "Natural"

- ELF Tone Correcting Concealer

- Essence "GET BIG LASHES" Mascara

- Daiso Eyeshadow Pallete 

- Essence Silky Touch Blush in shade "Soft Pink" 

- ELF Highlighter 

- M.A.C Blusher in shade "Sheertone Shimmer Blush"

- USHAS Eyeliner (from Bangkok) 

First and the most important thing after applying my moisturizer, i will apply my suncreen! Sunscreen helps protect your skin from harmful sun rays. Try to get sunscreen that has a high SPF because it will protect your skin more! 

I got this small tube of sunscreen from the local drugstore, "Watsons" it was under promotion so i had to get it cause it's selling at $2. I just tried this product for a few days and I'm already loving it! "Biore products is really amazing and i cannot resist them!" The texture of this product is so smooth and watery type. It looks like a cream when it is squeezed out but when you apply in on your face, it feels like it's just water! 

After my sunscreen has absorbed into my skin, the next thing that i will apply is my favorite BB cream ever! Maybelline has come up with a new BB cream that is in a watergel type. It is not greasy like any other BB cream that I've ever tried before and it absorbed into my skin in just a few seconds! "Maybelline is also my favorite product to use whenever it comes to make-up. You can never go wrong with Maybelline!" 

This is a Tone Correcting Concealer from ELF. I got this from www.shopping-district.net for only $6.50. I've been using this for a quite sometime now but as a tone correcting concealer, i thought it will cover up all my eyebags, dark circles, blemishes and pimple with just one or two time of application but it didn't. I have to apply this concealer for a few times till it covers up my "dirt" on my face. HAHA! I'm going to buy the Tone Correcting Concealer that comes with six different shades once I finish this tube of concealer. 

I am not using any branded pressed face powder. I am using this pressed powder from this brand called "Pixy" This powder is quite popular in my country now and it's suitable for all teenagers like me. (I didn't manage to get a nice shot of the powder cause it has a hole in the middle..because its going to finish soon :P) But if you guys wanna know more about this Pixy powder, please just Google it! Its a two-way cake powder foundation and it doesn't make my face look cake-y whenever i apply it on my face after foundation and concealer. 

"I know i know,some people reading this will say something like "she already put on foundation and concealer and now she's putting on a two way cake powder foundation? That's too much!" 

"Well, this is my way of getting a flawless and smooth complexion! Because, I believe that if i have a smooth complexion and smooth finish, everything else applied on my face will fall into place!" 

For my eye make up, I'm using this cheap eye shadow pallete from "Daiso" Some of you must be wondering                          "Does Daiso product works?" 

Yes, it works for me! All the colors suits my skin tone! Well, i only use this when i go to school or just going out on a simple outing with my family and friends. But if i'm going down to town or anywhere far, i will apply my eye make up using my "Coastal Scent 88 Eye Shadow Pallete in Warm Colors." I like to have that deep set eyes effect for my eyes so that's the reason why i need more make up to put some drama up to my eyes! 

The next four products that i use to complete my "simple and light" everyday make up is all in one pictures! I don't want you guys to think that this post is too draggy, haha.

For my lashes, I am using this mascara from "Essence" and I love it so much! It depends on what type of mascara you choose from this brand. It comes in different types of mascara. From "GET BIG LASHES", "VOLUME CURLS" and more, you can choose them to your liking! I've been loving the ones in "GET BIG LASHES" and this is already my second bottle! 

To give my eyes a more dramatic look, i will add on a little eyeliner on my lash line and also around my waterline to enhance my big eyes more! I got that eyeliner from Bangkok but don't worry, you can use any eyeliner to get this simple everyday look! 

Last but not least, I will apply some color to my cheeks to give me that rose-y blush wherever i go! I currently have two favorite blush! One from Essence and another one from M.A.C. I will keep on changing my cheek color everyday depending on my mood. 

Add some highlighter to bring up my cheekbone and a pop of a light lipstick colour and...

WALLA! I'm done! 

This is the result of my "Everyday Make Up Routine/Look" 

    Hope you guys like it and i hope to share more with all of you about my beauty tips! 

Please leave some comments or follow/add/ask me on my social networks and tell me if you wanna know more! 

Till then,

Skincare Routine

Do any of you have oily skin or dry skin? I'm pretty sure everyone has one of them or even worst, BOTH! In today's post, i'm going to share with you my "SKINCARE ROUTINE." 

I started to have dry skin when i'm 14 years old. I didn't apply a lot of make-up at that age but some light make up whenever i go out. Many people have been telling me to start taking care of my skin at that time so i decided to wash and cleanse my face every morning and night or whenever i bathe. Then, i started to realize that my nose area is getting dry that it makes it look like as if it got sun burnt when its actually not! I stopped using the facial wash everyday and only use it during the night time! 

As days got by, I started to apply more make up and there was one time that i applied too much make up till my face got too oily and i was really upset about that. My friends have been telling me that i have a oily skin. Well, at first it was a normal "oily skin" then as time goes by, i realized that maybe it's because i didn't apply any moisturizer or any other face products before putting on make up and thats the reason why my skin is exposed to make-up a lot till it got too oily! 

I tried a lot of face wash but it didn't really work on my skin. After trying several face wash, i finally found the face wash that is suitable for my face! It is the....

CETAPHIL DAILY FACIAL CLEANSER

I've been using it for a year now and it's really amazing! No matter how many times i wash my face everyday, it doesn't make my skin dry and it removes everything off! Oil and dirt from all those make-up i apply! The best thing, is it suitable for Normal Skin to Oily Skin! So if you have a normal, dry or oily skin, i recommend you to use this product because its really beyond amazing! The texture is so smooth that whenever i apply it on my face, it feels like as if i'm putting egg white on my face! So smooth like a baby's skin! 

Before applying make up, i will apply these babies on my face! 

Products: Nivea Daily Essentials Refreshing Toner

Nivea Daily Essentials Cleansing Lotion

Nivea Soft Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream

Those are the products that i apply on my skin before putting on make up. I finally found the products that is suitable for my skin! 

First, I will apply the Cleansing lotion. With a cotton pad, i will apply it on my skin to remove excess dirt that didn't get washed away during the cleansing session in the bathroom! After my skin has absorbed the lotion, i will then apply the Refreshing Toner all over my face with a cotton pad! On days where i have really BAD eye bags, i will soak the cotton pad, stretch it out and put it under my eyes so that my it will freshen up my eyes and also wake me up to get myself ready to go to school!(oh, toner will also help you to close up the open pores after bathing.) 

After getting fresh with the cleansing lotion and toner, I will apply the moisturizer on my face! The good thing about this moisturizer is that it can be applied to the face, body and hands! 3 in 1! Amazing isn't it? Once the moisturizer has absorbed into my skin, i will then start to apply make up! 

I've been constantly using this products and i'm really satisfied with it! It really works on my skin! It doesn't get my face oily, dry or even worst, both at one go! I hope to keep on using these products and will keep on finding more products to make my skin better! 

Don't forget to have your own skincare routine before applying make up! 

I've found my favorite skincare products!

Have you?

(I really hope this post helps a lot!) 

Till then,
