Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA +++

Missha M Perfect Cover is my everyday go-to BB Cream, I've tried many BB Creams but this one is the one I love the most !! I am a lazy person so if I'm not doing much that day, I allow myself 5-10 minutes to do my make up. It has a hygienic and easy-to-use pump dispenser. This is an important factor for me as i dislike the BB creams that you need to stick your fingers into to get the product out and get all messy!

This BB Cream is perfect because I can just slap it on and know that my skin is getting moisturize, sun protection, healing properties, and decent coverage for an even skin tone. It has SPF 42 PA +++ which is very important to prevent our skin from premature aging.

The consistency of BB Creams is somewhat heavier than a tinted moisturizer but lighter than your average foundations. This BB creams got a medium coverage. It's easy to blend and it's also buildable to a full coverage. I have dry skin so usually i skip powder and it can still lasts for about 6-8 hours. If it's a very hot day and I'm gonna sweat more, a bit of powder can also help its lasting power.


There's two shades for this BB Cream, which is No.21 & No.23. I'm using the No. 23 because it's more yellow-based tone and blends to my natural skin tone better. If you like the paler look, definitely go for No.21!

This is one of my all time favorite products! A constant must-have in my make up box wherever I go.

Repurchase? A BIG YES!

Missha Liquidly Facial Cleanser One-Step Milk to Peeling Review

I picked up Missha's Liquidly Facial Cleanser as I wanted an all-in-one cleanser that will help remove my make up, clean and 'peel' my face at the same time. Yes, I am lazy sometimes :)

This version of Liquidly Facial Cleanser is the One-Step Milk to Peeling.
There is also an Oil to Foam version out there.

It is a milky cream formula that turns into a peeling gel when rubbed/ massaged into the skin thoroughly.

One pump from the bottle

The product has a light scent that is like lavender.

The texture is very light and creamy. It feels like smearing cold cream on your face. Very soothing.

One pump from the bottle is enough for the entire face and neck.

For a big 200ml bottle like this, it will last me about 4-5 months with once a day use everyday.

Here I will demonstrate it's magical peeling power.

I have swatched on my hand my everyday make up and left to dry and sink into my skin. Eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, bb cream.

One pump of the cleanser here.

It is probably too much for my hand. Half a pump or 1/4 pump should have been enough.

Within the first 20-30 seconds the make up disappears into the cleanser.

After 2 minutes, the 'peel' bits appear! Magical!

They look like this. Yucky...

Trapped bits of make up and dead skin in the gel bits.

End result - smooth hand that is free of make up and dead skin.
You really do feel the smoothness of your skin after using this product.

One thing I would point out is that once your hands or face is wet, it dosn't 'peel', but it will still remove make up effectively. So you've got to use this product on dry skin.

The 'peeling' process provides exfoliation that is light enough to be used everyday.
It hasn't given me irritated or dry skin with everyday use.

I highly recommend this product if you find other scrubs too harsh on your skin or if you have sensitive skin.

Overall this is a one-step product that is effective. Me likey, so two thumbs up from me!

Repurchase? Yes! I would also be keen on the oil-to-foam cleanser in future.

Holika Holika Jewel Light Waterproof Eyeliner Review (pop of colour!)

Here are some of my current favourite summer go-to colour eyeliners.

Holika Holika is a popular Korean brand.

These eyeliners are very easy to use and glides on smoothly.

Here are some swatches (photo taken under natural day light indoors - no editing)

From left to right: No.8 Pink Topaz
No. 18 Coral Orange
No. 19 Emerald Green

The No.18 Coral Orange and No.19 Emerald Green eyeliners are matte based and have good colour payoff.  They are especially pigmented so one swipe over the lids is enough.  I like to use these as an all over lid shade to give myself a pop of colour which is perfect for the summer. Cheeks and lips remain neutral.

The No.8 Pink Topaz is great as a highlight for the inner corners of the eye and brow bone, or anywhere you want a bit of sparkle. It also have a good colour payoff with a sparkling shimmer finish.

These 3 eyeliners are also long lasting and waterproof, so there is no need to worry about smudging. But in the summer I tend to have oilier lids so I find that I may have to reapply it throughout the day.

The only down side of this product is that it comes in a pencil form that requires sharpening every so often. I find this quite annoying since I am a lazy person. Haha!

Repurchase? Definitely yes - I am keen to try a few more different colours from this range.
