Hi dearest onsugarettes!
SUPER SORRY FOR THE MIA-NESS. Busy with JC life and all heh.
Anyway, im back bloggingggg! Just that now, no more detailed posts and reviews etc. More of like What i used today, HAULS and MINOR Reviews :D
Look out for them!
CYA
I have been using bliss products for quite sometime and im quite infatuated with them. Im dividing this post into 4 parts, this is part 1, just a breakdown and some comments about their products. Part 2 3 4 is more of reviews with the skincare products i bought from them. So let's get on with it :]
Bliss actually divided their products into different regimes, for different cartergories of people!
A simple breakdown!
For the normal to combination skin (aka people like moi):
| Perfect for anyone looking to delay the signs of aging, these everyday essentials rejuvenate, hydrate, and balance the skin like you've just had a facial. |
For the oily or blemish prone skin!
| Perfect for skin that's too slick for its own good or in cahoots with some serious skin-dehydrating perpetrators, these purifying products created just for the oil prone will bust that combination's operation. It's like a deep-cleaning facial right at your own sink. |
For the anti-aging!
| Based on the top 10 antiaging ingredients Bliss' estheticians have used over years of giving great face, this line-leveling, legendary lineup is perfect for anyone battling wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and dull skin. | |||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||
the EXTRAAAAS!
| Treat yourself and enhance your daily skincare regimen with Bliss' signature spa essentials that give specific skin woes a time-out while you get some well-deserved R&R. Hone in on your problem spot, one or all, with this esthetician-tested arsenal. | |||||||||||||||||

Yup so that's the breakdown. Just a side note, for steep clean: people with combination skins shouldnt use this line much (i'll explain in detail in the next part). This is really for the 100% oily and the ones with blemish problem and not the ones with the occasional blemish. The normal line is great enough! I know some girls like me want our face to be OIL FREE and we think that the tzone oil is deemed to be oily but the steep clean line is really quite drying. Yup that's about it.
Where to get it:
Sephora.com and in all Sephora outlets in Singapore
Next Part: Review on Bliss Steep Clean Mattifying Moisturizer and Mask!
Rules: You are to answer all the quetions. Do not leave any question empty (:
10 Questions :
1. Dramatic eye looks or Natural Eye looks?
I like natural eye looks with colour!
2. Matte or Shimmer Shadows?
A mix of both but more shimmer!
3. Purple Pinks or Blue Greens?
I LOVE PURPLES AND GREENS, both together with GOLDS :D
4. Lips with gloss or without gloss?
Depends? Sometimes i like lipstick while other times i like gloss!
5. Contour Or Bronzer?
What's the difference? I think bronzer!
6. Nude lippies Or Pink Lippies?
Nudeeeeeeee!
7. Coral or Pink Blush?
Im not sure. Some pinks look weird on me while other times, corals either dont appear or make me look sunburnt.
8. Drugstore or Departmental Store Makeup?
DEFINITELY DEPARTMENTAL STORE. Okay call me a makeup snob but i just think that departmental store makeup is more worth the money? Of course i refering to Watsons/ Guardian, not US based like Drugstore/Walmart/Target.
9. Sponge or Brush for LIQUID foundation?
Brush definitely, i love my 109. I still experimenting though!
10. TAG or Tutorials?
Im kinda scared to do tutorials cause im not very comfortable sharing my face here? aha maybe i'll start but not in the near future!
Clockwise (left to right): Sleeping Pack in Pore Tightening, Aqua Sherbet Ice Toner, BB Magic Cream in Refreshing, Dr Mascara Fixer for Perfect Lash, Peach Cheek Blusher in #4 Smile Peach, O2 White Mask and O2 White Mask Sheets.
Has anyone been to Etude House yet?
I have been seeing posts about this Korean makeup/skincare brand but not much on the actual products so i thought i'll start first! I wasn't really enticed by these posts but rather, one day when i was walking towards TANGS Orchard via the underpass, i noticed this PINK, princessy store at the underpass. And foreword: i love anything pink and princessy (note, not GAUDY) so i was enticed by it. I just speed browsed through the store and left w/o anything cause i was still preparing for my exams at that time. Neeways, i ended the horrible exams and i went straight to Etude House for some serious shopping!
I basically bought mostly skincare stuff :D
I got the
2. Aqua Sherbet Ice Toner
3.BB Magic Cream in Refreshing

Finally i have time to post about this collection :D
My last post only mentioned about what i got and i played with some of this after i updated about what i got from this collection so here goes!
From Style Black
Honestly i am not a black girl, to be honest i am not a DARK shadow kind of girl. I have a few dark colors but i dont use them that often, i wear specs and smokey eyes look weird with glasses duh :] But i did give it a chance and i found some that i really liked!
1. Greastpaint Stick
Okay so this black shadestick like cream shadestick is really awesome! I read some reviews about it smudging and i want to say, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SMUDGED OUT. Or else, its really a concentrated patch of cream. The problem though, is when i smudge it out, it looks like my eye is dirty. So i think its quite hard for me to use it on its own or i really have to blend it really well. Anyway, i like this, it allows blues purples and greens to really SHINE. The other colours of the rainbow? It looks dirty to me :D
2. Gilt by Association Mineralize Eyeshadow
I like the name, it reminds me of pearls :] Anyway, i was planning to get all the e/s caused i liked the swatches i saw online but when i saw it with my own eyes, its like alot of glitter and nothing. I wanted the blue one alot but its was a HUGE disappointment. It was black shadow and blue glitter which didnt even stick. I have the same ones in my collection already so i didnt get this. I like this one the best but not by much, i did like how the gold matched the black in the e./s
3. 214 brush
Again, i wasnt planning to get this. Just that i was sold when my MUA, said: it smudges cream e/s really well and you can line your eyes with eyeshadow with it. AND IT DOES. I like lining my eyes with eyeshadow with this better than the 219, i find it just a bit too thick. I havent try smudging cream e/s out with it though.
From DSquared
1. Sculpt and Shape Powder in Bone/Beige Emphass
i was deciding between this and the other one and i didnt like how the other one looked so OBVIOUS on me. I like the light shading which is like barely there. SUPER NATURAL. Caution: Dont get this if u dont like pratically-nonexistent makeup. Anyway, i had heard good stuff about this powder so i wanted to give it a try.
2. 165 Brush
I got this to use it with the SandS Powder, i used it today and it seemed pretty well. Its good for doing the triangular highlight :D But im not too sure about the contour part. Who knows, maybe i;ll have another use for it :D
3. Grease Paint Sticks in B and V
i think the names are cute, the blue one is B (blue duh) and the purple one is V (violet haha). These are really pigmented i feel and i like how they can be used on their own, as liners. If you follow MBB, then you should know that these come with sharpeners so you can use them for liners which i think is SO COOL. Haha :D Anyway, i got the purple cause i wanted a purple base(being the purple fanatic i am) and the blue, because they made my eyes look brighter :D
I also got the Zoomblack Fast Lash or something like that. I like the formulation, i think i'll use it once i dump my Guerlain( AWESOME PRODUCT) one :D
Anyway, have you guys preordered from the Holiday Collection Yet? I went down Tangs yesterday and i noticed not all the products are in yet. I think none of those little pigment/lipgloss boxes and those MES but the rest are availiable. I forgot which ones i ordered but i only got 2 things, the e/s palette with the blue shadows and the pink faceset. :D What did you guys get? (or are planning to get)
Toodles!
Hello guys,
Im typing this at SPEED of LIGHT cause im supposed to be studying for my exams, in a week's time. Posting what i got from StyleBlack and the other collections and then, after my exams im going to do the whole post, e.g. pictures raves and rants and all :D
From styleblack:
- Gilt by Association MES
- Black Greasepaint Stick
-214 brush
From Dsquared
- B Greasepaint Stick
- V Greasepaint Stick
-Sculpt and Shape in Bone/Beige Emphasis
To treehouseglory and xbeanie (i think), the SnS is not a must have, i tried it on and it's very subtle, but NOTICEABLE (like you can only notice it if you stare at it for a loooong time under SUPER bright lighting) - in other words, pretty nice :D I could tell the difference my face looked, in a good way. So i hope this answered your question?
-165 brush
From Zoomblack Lash - the mascara duh
I also got the Studio Sculpt Concealer in some shade which i don't remember.
Yup, that's what i got. More, in a week, wish me luck for exams (cross fingers super tightly!)
I got this together with the MAC MAC colletion. I only wanted to walk out with my Burts' Bees Lip Shimmer in Caramel but instead, i got these stuff!
1. Burts' Bees Beewax Lip Balm
Forgot the lip shimmer, i like this much better! I had liked the lip shimmer for that mint effect so i wanted to get another one when i lost mine. I was curious whether all the lip products had the same effect so i asked this SA who told me that this had the same effect without the shimmer/colour and i absolutely love it! It tied first place for lip balms in my heart, together with MAC's lip conditioner in the tube form :] The downside? The mint effect wears off pretty quick so i keep reapplying it but its not biggie :]
2.Burts' Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme
I LOVE THE SMELL OF THIS. Yes i love almond, and i was looking for a moisturizer for my elbows and palms AND my curticles and the same SA recomended this. Was sold when she let me smelled it :D
3. ME! Bath. Land of Milk and Honey Honey Sherbet
I had this in the shower gel form but i lost it. Was looking for a body scrub and the SA brought me around to many different exfoliaters, none that i like because i felt they were too fine. Wanted something more coarse and when she tried this on me, i love it! It is coarse enough to scrub away those icky dead skin but doesnt seem to be THAT rough, that my skin appears red. I have tried this for about 5 times and i love it. I use my wooden spoon to scoop out a small amount of product, about teh size of 2/3 50 cent coins stacked together and i use this for about 1 leg? I use less for each arm and i love it!
4. Burts' Bees Herbal Blemish Stick
Before i comment on this, i want to say this. I said the Nexcare pimple plasters thingy were my HG for treating pimples right? Yes it is, just that i feel it works more eficiently on those pus-y pimples. I wanted something to get rid of those red bumps that always seem to appear and when i saw teatree oil as one of the ingredients, i was sold. I tried it a few tiems and it worked pretty well! The downside is that it contains strong alcohol and when i put them near my nose, i bring the alcohol in which is -.-
But i like it!
The last picture u see is courtesy of the SA. She was so nice! I was asking for recomendations for a GOOOOD moisturizer so she brought me to the Bliss section and we started talking about moisturizers and masks and then she surprised me by taking out 2 5g jars and she squeezed the steep clean moisturizer and moisturizer in, and gave me 3 new spatulas! Isnt that so nice of her? I havent tried it but im planning to try the masks soon. Will tell u guys more about it after usage.
So yup, that's all. I am happy to say, i am liking Sephora Ion more and more :D
There you go girl, margin blush swatch :]
Im sorry i haven't been able to do this, WAY BUSY :D
So, here iam! and thanks everyone who nominated me C:
6 interesting facts about me:
1. I am 16, yes surprise!
2. Being a shopaholic that loves shopping, i don't buy shoes (this comes to a shock to many because i buy all things girls like e.g. makeup bags clothes). I just don't like shoes cause my feet is BIGGGGG, but now with Rubi and New Look at Ion, that isnt a problem!
3. One of my fantasies is to go overseas and study business? Yeah UPenn or UCLA or something "D
4. I can tolerate cold weathers but not hot weathers :D Like i cannot sleep without an aircon :]
5. I am OCD. I like everything in its place, and i am an organisation freak. Not to say that i am organised all the time, but when my desk is messy or somewhere else is messy, i go crazy trying to arrange everything.
6. I have a bad temper, HAHA :D
Yup that's all. I think everything has already done this tag so i won't bother to nominate. Again, thanks to those who nominated me :D
