Hello readers, it has been a couple of weeks since I have updated my blog so I decided to give my blog a new series that I will try my best to keep it going. Well as you can see, this new series will be beauty routines of myself and the people close to me. I have drafted a couple already so you can look forward to my special guests. For today, to give a little idea of how this series will go, I will be presenting my daily beauty routine. When I refer to 'daily', it is more like 'when I feel like putting more effort which is not exactly daily'. On days I know I will be going for a jog or a sweaty badminton session then I'll just stop after applying sun block and head out with a rather bare face. The products are in sequence of application.
Shiseido Pureness Deep Cleansing Foam
I have become a loyal consumer of Shiseido for being so diligent in repurchasing every time I run out. Also, I know my mother uses some of their products which made me more confident in using their products. Absolutely love this cleansing foam, I always feel oil-free and dirt-free after a wash.
Shiseido Pureness Balancing Softener Alcohol-Free
Pureness has pretty much been discontinued everywhere else other than East Malaysia because when I looked for it in England and Kuala Lumpur, I was told it was discontinued. However, Sabah being a little late in everything is still selling Pureness in their stores. Sometimes it's a good thing after all to be a little late in the latest trend.
Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturiser Oil-Free
For both the softener and moisturiser, I use the palm of my clean hand to pat and apply on my face instead of using cotton pads. I'm a lazy person or someone that rather skip a step to be quick in a sense.
Sheseido Gentle Sun Protection Lotion SPF 30 PA+++
(For sensitive skin and babies) I seldom use this in England but in Malaysia... every single day. The Sun is just blazing hot everyday and I would like to avoid any drastic change in skin colour because that means I'll need to get a new shade of foundation.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser SPF 20 UVB/UVA (Nude)
(Lightweight flawless coverage) Recently purchased and recommended by Martha before flying back to my hometown, I needed a new foundation that could withstand the heat on a sunny everyday. So far, I'm satisfied with the coverage. I was taught to use my finger tips to apply this product before purchasing.
Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder (005 Silky Beige)
I decided to give this powder a try after watching countless youtube videos recommending this. Easily applied with my realTechniques powder brush.
Sheseido MAQuillAGE Double Brow Creator Pencil (BR611)
I still have no idea how to tame my eyebrows so they're pretty wonky for a long time now. Any advice for beginners?
Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara
Applied once after using my eyelash curler.
Benefit They're Real! Mascara
Applied as second coat then I use my eyelash curler once more when dried. Such a hassle to have straight short lashes.
Benefit EyeBright
Used at the bottom lash line to look slightly fresher and awake if I say so myself.
NYX Matte Smokey Look One Night in Morocco
This was a gift from my elder sister and I use the black eyeshadow the most to apply at my top lash line. Applied with a blunt eyeshadow brush from a set of makeup brushes my elder brother gave me for either Christmas or my birthday.
Maybelline New York Baby Lips (Mint Fresh)
Transparent lip balm to moisturise my lips before applying lipstick.
Rimmel London Kate Matte Lipstick Kiss of Life 111
Lastly, I have been using this red lipstick by lightly dabbing the inner part of my lips just to make a slight gradient to my lips. Be careful that the lipstick can easily get on your teeth since it is applied in the inner lips, I've learnt from my clumsy but funny mistakes. Alternatively, I use Beauty People Lip Tint which lasts longer but I left it in England.
That's the end of it, I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions, just ask away on my twitter or the comment section below. Stay tune for more, God bless.
