The makeup of my makeup

Because I’m the laziest blogger in the world, I dug out an old entry I wrote a few years ago about what cosmetic products and makeup I use.  And now I’m going to reuse it because I obviously don’t use the same products anymore wtf and a lot of people have been asking what makeup I use!

Ok before I start, let me say that I noticed some differences in my skincare routine T_T I am two years older when I first blogged about this at age 23 and this year I noticed that I’m starting to develop fine lines around my eye area T_T

So I’ve upped the ante now on eyecare products T_T They’re not that noticeable yet, only when I go so close to the mirror that my nose nearly touches it, but an early start is always best.  To everyone younger than me who’s reading this, don’t take your skin’s youth for granted wtf.

Ok here goes.  The answers in pink are from two years ago – for comparison’s sake 🙂

And all my pictures are stolen from Google so if they disappear don’t be surprised wtf.

Skin Care
What facial cleanser do you use?

Benefit You Clean Up Nice! face wash.  Bought it like two years ago and still cannot finish wtf think my face is too small.  It’s ok la nothing special about it but it gets the job done – not very drying but not moisture retentive either.

What toner do you use?

Hada Labo!  Blogged about it a while back.

What moisturizer do you use?

I’m as anal about moisturization as I am about eye care.  I was using Kanebo before this and switched to Shiseido The Skincare range.  I remember Suet using it  a few years ago and she said it was good so I decided to try it out too.  Quite good very moisturizing, definitely better than Clinique or Kanebo (my usual products).

There’s a bottle for day AND night.  The night one is more moisturizing, while the day one has SPF 15 for you lazy people who like to skip your sunblock wtf.

What eyecream do you use?

Avene Eluage Eye contour care.

Mummy Ooi recommended it cos she said it visibly reduces fine lines when applied.  It does la but after a few hours I can see my fine lines again T_______T

But then there is…

Odbo Wrinkletox Serum.  I got this in Korea and they call it “natural Botox” because finishing up eight small bottles of this will give you wrinkle free skin for two years wtf.  I’m a bit skeptical la but bought it anyway T_T

I’ve been using it for only two days but it really does actively reduce wrinkles lor!  My eye area now looks like a baby’s butt WTF.  But let me use it longer and get back to you on its effectiveness.

How many times a day do you wash your face?
Twice! I am damn anal about this and will never wash more or less. You’re not supposed to okay! Even if you’re in humid Malaysia or a the Gobi desert wtf you should only wash your face TWICE a day.

My answer remains wtf.

Do you use eye makeup remover?
What nonsense is this of course! It’s a sin to leave your makeup on mmmkay.

If so, What kind?

Etude House Mascara Remover.  Got this in Seoul too and it’s damn good! Removes mascara super well and damn cheap some more, so cheap I can’t even remember how much it was wtf.  Like RM6 or something.

Is your skin oily, dry, or combination skin?
Dry and sensitive :( Always get allergy this allergy that.

What is the best part about your skin?
That it’s clear la wtf. No pimples, blackheads, freckles, age spots wtf. (not yet anyway) But got fine lines already FMLLLLLLLLL

What are your skin problems?
That it gets dark easily la I spend my life shying away from sunlight T_T And eyebags and dark circles *frets

FINE LINES! FINE LINES!

What sunblock do you use?

Shiseido Anessa Perfect Smooth Sunblock. SPF 50++ okay I swear their biggest customer is Mrs Dracula wtf. Or Japanese women. But you should never go anywhere without putting on sunblock! Even if you’re staying at home, sunblock is a must okay do you know how damaging the sun is.

I was going to say same!!!! And that I’m a loyalist wtf but I realized there’s a slight difference – the one I’m using now is Perfect PEARLY Sunscreen, not Perfect Smooth wtf but it’s still from the Shiseido Anessa range so same la!  I don’t know where to get this sunblock here though – I just stock up every time I’m in Japan.
Makeup
What foundation do you use?

Face Shop QUick & Clean BB cream!  Good, cheap and easy to apply.  Plus supposed to be better for your skin than foundation ok foundation ages your skin *obsessive

What powder do you use?
Clinique. I bought this 4 years ago and I have no idea why it’s still nearly full! Actually I do, it’s because half the time I forget to use powder *shifty-eyed.

My Clinique powder never finished!  In the end I think I lost it WTF.  So I went out and got…

Christian Dior loose powder.  I actually have no idea what it’s called but I googled it and it looks like this wtf.  Does a great job of setting my BB cream 😀

What eyebrow pencil do you use?

Lancome Le Crayon Brow Definer. I never knew the full name until I googled it wtf.

Can’t find a picture of it, but Canmake Eyebrow Mascara (Japanese brand) in blond, to make sure my brows match my hair>.>

Put aside the Lancome pencil cos the color doesn’t match my hair now wtf.

Coincidentally I now use Canmake Liquid Eyebrow!  I usually love liquid pens for eyebrows but this one seemed to dry up damn fast!  Like the first time I used it WTF I dunno was it cos it absorbed up all my BB cream or something -_- It was good while it lasted though and I haven’t gotten round to buying a new one.

Koji Linequeen Eyebrow Mascara to further tint my brows to match my brows – that is only on days I remember / am hardworking enough to put it on.  Bottle still looks full wtf.

What eyeliner do you use?

MAC Fluidline dunno what hahaha I’m just typing out what I see in the picture wtf. Dunno why I’m so bad at remembering product names. I haven’t used this for ages though because I’m too lazy to wash my brush wtf.

Interestingly, from gel eyeliner I moved to liquid eyeliners and then recently went back to gel liners!  Liquid eyeliners tend to fade out or smudge on my eyes and gel liners seem to work best for me.  This one is called Shiseido Maquillage Dramatical (grammatical fail wtf) Gel Liner and it comes with its own mini brush!  It’s black with glitter in it and if you’re looking for staying power and darkness go for gel eyeliners 😀

(Just realized I got so many stuff from Shiseido, must be my underground favorite brand wtf)

What is your favorite eyeshadow?

Revlon Eyeglide Shimmer Shadow wtf. (again typing out from google) It’s only my favorite cos I use the pink or the gold for day use. Looks more finished!

God I remember how I loved those shadows T_T  Now I usually use Majolica Majorca or Canmake.

What mascara do you use?

Loreal Double Extension and Lancome Hypnose both in black. But Loreal kicks Hypnose’s ass okay the first time I used Hypnose it was Mascara God wtf, but the next time I bought it again I felt like the quality worsened. Plus I love mascaras that come with the strenghtening volumising white base.

I hardly use mascaras anymore! I actually used the Loreal Double Extension for many years but then now I switched to mostly fake lashes cos I’m too lazy to remove makeup after and mascara is the biggest bitch to remove >((

For lashes, Dolly Wink and Diamond Lashes.

But I still use Majolica Majorca’s Lash Expander Frame Plus and Lash Bone.

What are your favorite lipbalms/glosses/sticks?:
Vaseline wtf. I hate stuff on my lips and I used to be allergic to lip glosses T_T

Still relevant wtf.
Hair
Do you color your hair?
No it’s natural wtf. Of course I do!

What is your stylists name?

No.

Do you use a blowdryer?
Of course! For volume. (wtf this is the longest tag ever sien already)

Do you use gel and if so, what kind?
Nope.

Do you use mousse, and if so, what kind?
Nope. I use hair wax and hair spray. Both from Gatsby and they are better than sex wtf.

Still use wax and spray only!  Wax is Moving Rubber Air Rise from Gatsby, but the spray is a miracle wtf.  It’s basically wax in a can and Angela took me to get it from a Japanese salon in San Fran.  It’s called Spice Shower wtf.

What shampoo do you use?
I don’t remember WTF. I alternate between an orange bottle and a gray one wtf.

Dove Intense Therapy!  Blogged about it before.

Scents
What deodorant do you use?
I don’t need deodorant! I smell like a flower naturally wtf.

What body wash do you use?

Dunno. Dettol? God this part is so boring can I skip it.

Do you use a loofah, washcloth or soap to wash?

I once bought a pink loofah but never used it wtf.

What perfumes do you use or like? Name five.
I don’t use perfumes! Cos I told you la I already smell good naturally wtf. I think I always smell like my body wash la wtf. Also, I have almost no sense of smell (that’s why I’m made to do trash T_T) so perfumes and colognes are wasted on me.

Do you always have to smell good?
I have Audrey smell ok. Audrey Smell = orange soap smell + Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter. Or trash smell right after I do trash T_____________________T

FML. Thank god I don’t smell like trash anymore

Jewelry
Are diamonds really a girl’s best friend?
I’m not really a girl T_______T
What is your jewelry essential?
Errrrrrrrrrrrrr dunno

What jewelry do you wear most?
The gold necklace with the key pendant Mummy Ooi gave me for my birthday.

I took it off last year for safekeeping and don’t wear any jewelry on a daily basis anymore!

What jewelry do you crave most?
Am I really still doing this tag why so long wan T__________T Dunno la engagement ring la wtf.

WTF I wrote that when I was still young and naive.  I don’t crave an engagement ring ok *hyperventilates

Purses and Shoes
How many purses do you own?
Very few. I would be happy not carrying bags okay I remember how my mother had to nag me to put my wallet and phone and whatnot into a bag.

Ok I have more now wtf.  I know a lot of girls have different bags to match each occasion and outfit (ie. Angela, Ringo..) but I usually carry one bag for ages just because I’m too lazy to move my belongings from one bag to another.

Which is your favorite?
Plastic bag wtf.

How many shoes do you own?
20-30?

Probably more now…

Which pair is your favorite?
Match outfit la! But if I’m travelling, my cowboy boots. Most comfortable pumps would be the black ones with the gold clasp in front.

I had to put my beloved cowboy boots to sleep it’s heel came off T_T Regret not buying that pair I saw in Myeondong with Cheesie now T3T But right now if I’m traveling it’s the fringed suede boots that Wendy and Cheesie got for me in Tokyo <3

Also my lavender heels with the tiny orange pompoms I got in Tokyo… and my Bebe flipflops…. why you ask me to decide on this impossible wtf.

Who is your favorite handbag designer?
I told you I don’t like bags T_____T Petaling Street designer wtf. Oh wait I forgot about Vuitton Speedy Damier in Azur wtf. Let me work 10 years to buy that wtf.

I have grown up! Miu Miu wtf.  I like bags now more but still not more than shoes!  I promised myself I wouldn’t buy any luxury items until after I’ve paid off my loan *brave

Who is your favorite shoe designer?
Dunno.

This or that;
Manolos or Jimmy Choos?
Jimmy Choo la. But that’s only because he’s a family friend. But family friend also what’s the point never give me any shoes also! Only give my mother and her sisters *sour

Dolce and Gabbana or Chanel?

    So lucky that you don’t have much skin problems, ‘cept for fine lines (which will happen to me in due time :p)! I would love to not have pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads urghhhhhhh.

    Most of my skincare and make-up are from shu uemura! But I also use Chanel, MAC, Clinique and Payot! Usually I like to go online and look at the reviews then try different brands and products. Feel like trying out Maquillage after reading your post. The eyeliner seems nice!
