1. Elf Natural Radiance Blusher -Glow (https://valueshopping.multiply.com/) 

Review:  Great blusher for its extremely affordable price.Though it can get slightly messy with the particles but its forgivable for the amount it cost (SGD $4) so you can't demand much.The color is intense and is more towards coral peachy tone which is in trend now and I adore.Overall, this blusher has done its justice and I love it. 

                                 

2. Covergirl LashBlast Mascara (https://mascara-page.blogspot.com/)

Review:  This has been added to my favourite's collection after maybelline great lash mascara. It voluminises and opens up my eye. Awesome mascara!

3. Covergirl CG Smoothers Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser (SPF 15)

Review:  CG oil free tinted moisturiser has become a part of my daily skincare regime. I use this after putting on my neutrogena moisturiser and I set it with a mineral pressed powder.It feels light and lasts throughout the whole day. I do not have to touch up at all. Sadly this is not available in S'pore so you have to grab hold of someone who is doing a spree in US. It's a very good product to have for someone who has oily skin like me and I think covergirl should be introduced in singapore.

4. Mary Kay Eye Firming Cream (www.marykay.com.sg)

Review:  Mary Kay was my first my eye cream that I purchased, in order to start safeguarding against the ageing process and it's close to 2 months now and I am very in love with this product. Of late before I purchased this bottle, everyone had been commenting I look tired due to my eyebags. arrggghhh!! it was getting to me

This bottle comes with a pump and the texture is really creamy but not oily. It gets absorbs into the skin fast. The results were visible after 2 weeks and the region around my eye area was more brighter and firm. My eyebags too, had started to diminish.

However the one thing I disliked was that when you apply the cream, it stings in my eye thus making it tear (something like when you cut onions). The directions advised that it could be used in the morning but I really don't comprehend how cos with that kind of effect, it makes you want to sleep (the good effect though for night time).Overall, I like this eyecream and will purchase it in the future cos of the results it has so prominently delivered.

5. Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturiser

Review:  Like covergirl's tinted moisturiser, Neutrogena is my absolute must have and something that I'll keep on buying over and over again. I like the way it goes on smoothly on my skin and absorbs fast and well. My skin never feels sticky at all and it remains matte throughout the day. I loveeeee it!!!

6. Silky Girls Lipstick (Coral Peach) -$10

Review:  Honestly this was an extremely bad buy for me and I regretted that I got it. I used it once but the color horribly clashes with my skintone. ( I did realise later that coral doesn't work with my cool skintone. my mistake!!)This is one of the painful lessons you learn when you buy a lipstick without trying it on yourself ( of course get the consultant to sanitise or wipe it with a anti bacterial wipe before trying it on yourself).

7. Elf Luscious Liquid Lipstick ($3.50)

Review:  Just like its blusher, the ELF liquid lipstick is another great product for its extremely affordable price. its not very pinkish, just a subtle nice pink. very ideal for neutral/natural look or apply it on top of your lipstick for a sheer look.I have it in my purse all the time and I wear it almost every day.

8. Elf Eye Blending Brush ($3.50)

Review:  A great quality brush and a good subsitute if you don't wish to spend alot on MAC brushes. It picks up the colors well and it is soft and gentle on the skin. The other part I like about investing these brushes is that you won't feel a pinch should you need to replace them or you lose them because of its value price.
