[Beauty Hall Of Fame Part 2]: My 2013 & All Time Favourite Cosmetics Products


 Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend last week! =)

 Last weekend for me was not so good. Had a serious accident at work that caused me to bumped my
 lower back head and neck and my entire back. My whole body were crushed by a entire double
 deck bed. There were no external injuries but I went to Raffles Hospital anyway to had a X-ray
 done and I super regretted it. They did not scan my head (where I got hurt pretty bad) and I had to
 went to Singapore General Hospital to get a blood test & CT scan done for my head as referred by 
 my family doctor and I had to be hospitalised for 8 hours under observation. It was really an 
 unfortunate incident and to be honest. I was really traumatised very badly. My CT scan results is  
 negative for blood clots, internal bleeding and bones fracture etc. (Thank god). Doctor said I was
 very lucky to able to survive and walk away from this kind of accident. However, I am quite all
 right. Will be resting at home for the next couple of days. Thank you everyone for the concern. =)

 Nevertheless, despite this unfortunate incident. I am still alive and kicking. Thus, today I will be
 sharing with you all some of my favourite cosmetics products from 2013 and some are my all time
 favourite. Starting with:

 1. Makeup Base & Primers
Loreal Paris Base Vagque Transforming Smoothing Primer.

This primer transformed into a velvety texture when applied onto the skin, helps to smooth out the skin texture and enlarged pores. easy to apply and spread out easily, helping foundation to last longer and better. One of my all time favourite. ^^
Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Primer.

I have only just bought this last year Nov/Dec as they just launched in Singapore in Nov and I'm
already totally in love with it. Very suitable for oily/combination skin, its smooth matte texture helps to refine large pores and fine lines giving you a shine free complexion with its sebum controlling
function. I usually apply this more on my T-zone area where its most oily and shiny. Pricing wise this is also very reasonable. ^_^ Check out my review on its other products here.

2. Foundation & Powder
Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion Foundation. SPF 50 PA +++

Among so many different foundations I have used, this is one of the most easiest and convenient foundation to use. Simply just pat the foundation on using the puff and in 30 seconds you can achieve a smooth and flawless base. Coverage wise I would say its light to medium yet its concealing and coverage power is very good as its able to cover my dark circles and redness around my nose area and any spots and marks on my skin. It is also refillable and affordable pricing. Two thumbs up! ^_^

Innisfree Mineral Water Foundation SPF 13 PA+

As I mentioned earlier, I only got in touch with this brand just last year yet I'm already loving their products. This lightweight water base foundation is so easy to blend yet provide superior coverage and you won't even feel like you are wearing any foundation. Definitely will go into one of my all time favourite list.
Very light and smooth texture.

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder.
 
Besides their primer and foundation, I'm also loving their mineral loose powder. It has a very smooth texture and gives a smooth and matte look. it has very good shine and sebum controlling properties thus I always apply a light layer over my T-zone and side of the nose. Will definitely purchase again and again. =P
 
3. BB Cream
Za Total Hydration BB Cream UV & UV White.
 
My all time favourite BB cream. Especially the UV White that helps to brighten and whiten the complexion and yet providing enough conceal coverage with a SPF 50 PA +++ and doesn't dry out your skin at the same time. This one was already my 3rd tube. =) A multi tasking product that can save lots of time and $$. =P
 
4. Eyeshadows
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

I'm sure all makeup artist and makeup lovers will definitely know this brand. An all time classic range of earth tones and dark colours that can easily allow you to transform from natural day look to smoky eyes for the evening and any parties.

A wide range of beige and earth tone colours.
 
Too Cool For School Dual Eyeshadow.
 
A Korean hot cult brand that also hit local shores last year. Beside attractive packaging, Their practicality and multi function products had also win hands down. This dual eyeshadow can easily let
you create a simple natural look with its dual tone colours and open up the top, below is a light shimmering eye shadow base. I love to use this whenever I'm in a hurry =P or when I wanted a simple day look.

 
Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake Dual Eyeshadow
 
I have always love Etude House products for their sweet and lovely packaging. This limited edition dual eyeshadow is not only nice in packaging but the texture is also pretty smooth and the colours combination give your eye makeup a fun look and makes your eye makeup more pop and stands out.


5.Mascaras & Eyeliners
1028 Carribean Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara.
 
A affordable & reputable brand from Taiwan famous makeup artist Xiao Kai. Among so many different brand of mascaras, this is one of the most powerful and effective in terms of volume and lengthen. And pricing is very affordable. I got these online but now they are finally here in SaSa Singapore! =D and pricing is slightly more cheaper than online and best part is don't have to wait for delivery. Check out my review here.

I love to combine the two mascara for more dramatic look.




Maybelline Hyper Sharp Eyeliner
 
For single eyelids and small eyes like me, this eyeliner is definitely my saviour. With a 0.05mm tip, it can easily let you create the most sharp and define eyeliner. Very suitable for drawing a natural cat eye look.
Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner.
 
I'm sure most of you are familiar with Maybelline classic pot gel eyeliner. However, over the years I felt that Maybelline has really improve and outdone themselves. They have finally launched a pen gel liner for the sake and convenience for all ladies. Easily let you create a dramatic and bold cat eyes look anytime and anywhere without the trouble of using a eyeliner brush.  This is one of my all time favourite liner, already currently using my 3rd one. =)
Miss Hana Eyeliner
 
I only got to know this brand through Taiwanese bloggers. I had never use their products before so when I saw the rave among the Taiwanese, I decided to give it a try and I had never regretted it. available in several colours, Very intense colour, smooth and easy to draw and most important is its totally waterproof and smudgeproof! However, this is not available in Singapore. I managed to got these through online and was glad that it arrived safely to me. I bought a black and brown colour and I'm almost finish with the black. Time to do some online shopping again. XD
Basically that's about all. For blusher and lipstick I don't really have any favourite particular brand yet as I usually buy depending on what kind of colours I'm looking for. If I manage to find any brand or range that's good to use, I shall share with you all again ya? ;)
 
Hope you all enjoy today little sharing session.
 
Have a great week ahead! ^o~
