Review: Neutrogena Fine Fairness

I think this had been long requested by my follower. She wanted to know my take on the Neutrogena Fine Fairness line. Sorry it took so long, and I hope you're still reading my blog.lol

Eventually I only have the moisturizer and serum but by then I started using them my toner and cleanser started to run out so what not I just picked up the same line and use them without thinking much. As for the sunblock, it's my mum's so I just take and use.haha

So here we go, This will be quite a long post so, be prepared.

The cleanser

Start off with the cleanser, the neutrogena fine fairness cleanser is a rich foaming cleanser with vitamin C and essential soy in it which helps to brightens up your skin. Just an extra tip with foaming cleansers, you have to really foam them up first before slapping them on your face because by this, the ingredients in it will only start to activate to work and also it will not be too harsh to the skin. This is what I like to do with most of the foaming cleansers.

This is a foaming net which will helps to foam up cleansers. You can get this in Daiso, if you have one near you.

Wet the net and put a pea size amount of cleanser and start to rubbed against the net for a few seconds.

You will get something like this. Sorry it's kinda difficult for me to snap them because the last thing I want is to turn my iphone to apple juice. lol

This will be enough for the entire face.

I would say this cleanser is not bad. It really does its job in cleansing without stripping your face. However, I find that this entire range has a smell that I don't like, which I hate.lol. The smell is not that strong actually but it kinda lingers if I use the entire range. But well, personal preference. My mum and sister really loves this range,  so I couldn't really judge on the smell though.

Packaging: Simple tube with a big opening to it which sometimes you kinda takes out too much of a product.

The toner

It is just like a water consistency but it is white in color, I'm not sure whether its bleached or whatever but it doesn't sting or anything so I guess its not. 

I love water consistency toners more than milky consistency ones because it will not burden my skin or leave them sticky. However, I don't think this does any job in whitening hence I don't really care much for this.

Packaging: Hygenic pour out bottle.

The brigtening serum

I love love love this, in fact I hit pan on this already.lol. It absorbs really easily and I feel it really does its job. It helps to lighten my scars even though I only use the serum in this range and use my other skincare brands.

It comes out yellow which you probably couldn't tell because my camera couldn't pick up the color (sorry I actually ran out of this already so I have to really dig the remaining in the bottle hence, the ugly swatch lol)  It has a really light texture to it. I feels that this is good and comparable to the paul & joe ones which I love!

Packaging: Pump out bottle with a secured cap.

The lotion

This moisturizer comes with spf 30 to it and it kinda surprise me because the consistency is really runny and could be absorb almost instantly. 

Most of the moisturizers with spf in it will always tend to be really greasy and thick which always leave me really skeptical to try. This does not mean you could skip your sunblock because same concept as bb creams, the amount of moisturizer and bb cream you use will not be as much as you would for sunblock, well at least for me. Hence, how would you think its even possible to give you enough protection throughout the day?  So always remember to use an extra sunblock even though your products already have the functions in it. Sorry I'm really that skeptical because I always don't believe a bottle could provide multi functions. lol

However it will give me somewhat white cast on my face if I apply too much of it. Also, I get really oily around my t zone after about 2-3 hours after using this thus, I hate this and in fact I use this for 2 days and I surrender haha

Packaging: Same as the serum, it comes with a pump-out bottle with a secure cap to it. Really hygienic.

The brightening UV moisture

A sunblock with spf 50 pa+++ in it which is brilliant. It absorbs easily and its super easy to spread all over without feeling greasy to it. I don't think I have much to say about this because literally I found this to be relatively good, but maybe on the price though. It is really pricey, depending on where you go but mine cost about MYR50-ish if I'm not mistaken which I think its crazy for drugstores product.

Packaging: Narrow squeeze tube where you could picked up just the right amount.

This is some information about whitening range products, you will not see your face becomes white instantly after using whitening skincare because if that is the case, its a bleach, haha. I think a good whitening skincare is something you will see results only when you continuously use them because it takes time to heal and fade from inside and it will then eventually brightens up your complexion from inside out.

To me, I don't really care much for this range because the smell is too much for me the handle. If I would repurchase anything, I think it's probably the serum because thats the longest I use and its really working.

Overall ratings: 2 out of 5

I could easily live without this range because it really doesn't impress me much.

So that's it

 I hope this won't bored you guys out. I know it's super long post but just to share out my opinions.

Remember, everyone's skin is different. What works for me might not works for you, vice versa. So listen closely to your skin. 

I hope you enjoy your day and until next time :D

New luggage bag baybeh

  

So before I shut everything off and go to bed, I just wanted to show you guys what I picked up the other day. Just a very quick update to enter more post for this deadly blog haha 

So it's just this luggage bag that I really adore and it's a perfect size with a huge space in it. My previous ones are the ones with wheels attached and it takes up alot of space.  I can't even squeeze everything perfectly into the bag.

I like the details of it very much. It's printed with the brand name all over but from far it's just as though a pattern to it. The only thing about this is that it is rather heavy on its own. I don't know why their bags are always being constructed this way which I think its rather disappointing because their bags relatively is my taste but I always ended up not getting them thinking about how they will weight on my shoulder. 

But this is a different case though because I actually addicted to it ever since my sis have this for a couple of months back and the other day when I still saw it with the color I love, I just couldn't resist. Above is my sis's . Super sleek,huh. I know its just a luggage bag and wad not but I don't know, I just love them. 

Love is blind eh..

:D

Until next time

Good night

Review: Sigma Sigmax HD Synthetic Face Kit

I heard alot of raved on this product on YouTube and blogs so I had to get my hands on this.  lol

 It comes with a really simple and nice packaging and inside, it has a pamphlet which describes the brushes that you picked up. Also, the brushes comes with a protector to it and I think it's really thoughtful of them to come up with such an awesome idea for the packaging. This set comes with the F80(Flat Top Kabuki), F82( Round Top Kabuki) and also the F84( Angled Top Kabuki) 


*Please pardon my dirty brushes. I just used them this morning and I really had the urged to blog about them now. lol*

F80- I personally use this as a foundation stippling brush and because of its denseness, I found that it didn't eats up my foundation at all. If you are a brush user, you will know that when you use a brush and dip it with liquid foundation, you will always ended up pumping out more of the products than if you are using your fingers to apply. I used to raved on Mac's 187 brush but now that I have this, I find myself reaching for this most of the time. I also use it as a blush brush as I personally like to pounce on my blusher and I think this brush do the best job in that. 

F82- This brush is more precise and I like to use this to conceal and powder my face especially under my eye area and also around the nose which I find these two areas are quite hard to reach using other brushes. And because it is really dense, it could picked up just the right amount of product to apply on the face.*love*

F84- Could be used both for blush and contour but I seldom use this as a blush brush because I prefer the F80 more when I do my blush. I use this mainly to contour because literally, the angled shape helps me to locate the area better without messing up the other parts of my face. I didn't contour that often, only on certain occasions, which explains the very clean brush.teehee 

Overall: This is the first time I've tried on brushes that are of this good quality.They are really soft and super dense. I'm not even kidding. I know Coastal Scents has one like this too but I didn't get the chance to try on that one yet hence I can't really compared with those.This Sigma Sigmax brushes could be used with cream, powder as well as liquid products. The brushes itself feels really sturdy and well constructed. I've washed mine probably for three times now but I don't find any bristles that falls apart while washing which is really amazing. 


The only problem with these brushes that most of the people face would probably is that they take a longer time to dry when you clean them. However, I actually don't find this to be a problem to me at all because I live in country that is summer 365days so my brushes tends to be dry pretty fast lol.

If you do not want to own three of them,  I do highly recommend the F80 or at least the F82 brush, but the F84 is really awesome for contour work. I'm really impressed by the great quality of Sigma brushes and I think it is really affordable than Mac. This set retails at USD42 and you can log on to their website www.sigmabeauty.com for more selection of brushes. 


They sell both individuals as well as complete kit brushes so its quite convenient because you will be able to find almost every brushes that you need whether it is complete sets or maybe eye, face or lips' individual brushes. They also comes with different pretty colors to choose from the brush kit and the Make Me Crazy kit really really caught my eyes. lolz.Hmm, we'll see about it :p


So that's it. I hope its informative enough for you to decide whether to picked this up or not but this is definitely a hit for me.
