Review || Facework Cosmetics Brush Egg

Assalamualaikum

Hello there!

Being a beauty junkie, I, like anyone else face the phase that needed me to deep clean all my dirty makeup brushes. Previously I cleans the brushes by swirling it on the palm of my hand. But I don't really like to wet my hands for too long. Therefore, I search for option that can help me clean my brush without having my palm touching the water.

Now, I managed to bought a brush egg by Facework Cosmetics. A local brand that sells makeup brushes, blending sponges, and brush egg. They have several colour of brush egg to choose from and the price is unbelievably affordable. The brush egg cost me RM 15 per piece. This product uses silicon material which have an anti-bacterial function. *thumbs up*

What I like about Facework Cosmetics Brush Egg:-

* Great for cleaning eyes & lips brushes

* The dots helps refines the shape of the brushes

* Does not get stained by the shadow pigments

* Small in size

* Easy storage - I put it in my makeup drawer 

The down side of this product

* The size is too small for me to clean my face brushes. Not enough room to swirl the brushes

Other than that, I really have no problem with it. Good quality product with an affordable prices. You can get your own brush egg from FACEWORK COSMETICS INSTAGRAM.

That's all from me. Thank you for stopping by. Good luck <3

Review || Essence Soo Glow! Highlighter

Assalamualaikum

Hello there!

Last week I only managed to blog one post due to tonnes of preparation for Hari Raya. Since I stay with my parents, it is my responsibility to help them in preparing for events. Therefore, I will post three reviews this week instead of two. Let's cut the intro and jump right to the review.

Today is all about Essence Soo Glow! Cream to Powder Highlighter. Keeping up with the strobing trend, I search for a cream highlighter that I personally think it is easier for me to apply. I am thankful that I managed to find an affordable drugstore option instead of high end. I was thinking to order Loreal cream highlighter from US because I am not aware that we have cream highlighter here. 

This highlighter available at selected Watsons store for RM16.85. They have two shades which are:- 

1)  Look on the Bright Side - 10

2)  Bright Up Your Life - 20

The first shade (10) is a white highlighter and the second shade (20) is a rosy pink highlighter. Since I have a medium tan skin complexion, I bought the shade 20. I feel that white highlighter suits person with a paler skin complexion. 

Bright Up Your Life - 20

In terms of application, I use my finger to swirl the product and dab it on the highest part of my face. I also blend it using my finger. I will use clean finger for each side of my face because sometimes I find that the highlight will mix with my blusher if I use the same finger. Thus one side of my face will have different colour of highlight if that make sense.

Talking about lasting hour, this stays on my skin for at least 5 hours. As I mentioned on my previous post, I normally wear my makeup for the longest time of 5 hours as I have to perform my prayer. Therefore I have to completely removes my makeup. But still, 5 hours is a longggg time! 

To wrap things up, enjoy a strobing-on-fleek picture of me *narcissist*. Please note that I applied the highlighter on my cheekbone, bridge of the nose, cupid bow, and on the chin.

That's all from me. Thank you for stopping by. Good Luck <3

Review || Pixy Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion Makeup Remover

Assalamualaikum


Hello there!

Finally

FINALLY!!!

I'm back.

I know. I know. My life is such a mess. I am getting my hands all crafty and currently learning sewing. Alhamdulillah, I graduated from UTM **phewww** and about to attend my convocation this October. Yeay for me! **clap**. Much apologize for not making  this blog a prior. I am now gonna blog twice a week and probably will be posting on weekends. I rediscover my planner and I realize how important it is in my life. 


Enough with the long intro about my MIA. Lets go straight to the beauty review. As mentioned in the title, I'm gonna give you a review on PIXY Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion Makeup Remover. 

Lets talk about the general information of this product and what its offer. Pixy Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion is a makeup remover. People may get confused because they do not state it on the packaging. This is a 100 ml water based makeup remover product. It promises 4 in 1 benefit which are:

1) Removing makeup

2) Removes dirt and oil

3) Freshen / tone the skin

4) No double cleansing needed

PIXY Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion is an alcohol-free product and it is infused with honey. Honey is used in this product because it is proven clinically that honey helps in restoring and locking moisture in the skin and keeping the skin soft and supple.

Now, heads on to the review. I use this product constantly for three month now. Makeup remover nowadays have the current trend of oil-free remover which they called it micellar water. Although PIXY does not state that their product is a micellar water, I can assume it is as it's a water-based product. I use this using cotton pad. A few drops of this product is sufficient to wet the cotton pad. 

 Let's see the testing of this product.

Swatches of pencil liner, waterproof liquid line, gel liner, matte lipstick, cream eyeshadow, concealer, and foundation for testing.

Two cotton pads needed to removes makeup thoroughly

Squeaky clean!

 What I like about this product:

- Oil-free remover. I do not have to double cleans.
- Removes makeup excellently 
- Slim packaging
- Cheap
- Moisten up the face
- Travel friendly *I have both pro and con about this*
      - I prefer to bring this along if I went for trip where I can comfortably resides in.
         Eg: balik kampung, holiday.

The hassle about this product:

- Need to bring cotton pad along when travelling

       - I do not like to bring this product if I am out and about. It is a hassle for me to bring cotton pad 

         along as I need to store them in different case. Eg: going for shopping, outing with friends

- Hardly removes waterproof mascara.

Since JB have a water issue, I use this a lot and I still have a quarter of product left. I already purchased backups. Yes! BACKUPS!! Totally recommend it to others. You can find PIXY Gentle & Moist Cleansing Lotion Makeup Remover at Watsons for RM13.90. Watsons normally have this on sale. I got mine for RM8.80. Just wait for the sale and save some ringgit!

That's all from me. Thank you for stopping by! Good Luck <3
