Catrice Longlasting eye pencil, waterproof


This eye liner was recommended to me by my friends at TVP and I decided to give it ago. I bought the grey, gun metal kind of colour called 'The World's Greytest, 020'. After falling in love with it I purchased the brown on called ' Brown Town Girl 050'. This eye liner is like 3.90 SGD but it's really quite amazing.
It doesn't smudge and it's really long lasting. I am able to wear this on my upper and lower waterlines for the whole day without any smudging ( I have oily eye lids). It's currently my favourite eye liner. It's drugstore but it's so amazing. 
I find the grey one to be softer and easier to work with for the upper lash line compared to the brown. The brown can be a little dry but I think it's just because of the colour. There have quite a few colours and the bright colours stay on for the whole day as well! Normally shimmery and bright coloured eye liners tend to wear off but this eye liner is really the bomb.com. I swatched the newer colours on my hand that day and they stayed all the way till night. I couldn't even wash it off with soap and water.
I would definitely repurchase this and I am gonna get a few more colours the next time I go to Guardian Plus! 
Catrice can be found at most Guardian Plus outlets. ☺


Lots of love,

Review: GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment

Hey hi hello!
I'm back for another review~



I bought this mask like in the beginning of March. I've been seeing it being raved about everywhere like on youtube and all and I was waiting for it to come to Singapore. When it finally did I went to get it. ( After awhile la cause I'm broke 24/7)
THIS MASK IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MASK I HAVE EVER PURCHASE YET. Like seriously it's 92 SGD for 34g??? Crazy expensive. I was really really praying that I would like it and that it would help my skin because I was getting like spots and all from stress and hormones (Zzz)

So at first, I used it as a treatment mask. I've only used it like about 5/6 times so far. Anyways, the first 5 times I used it I used it only in my problem areas like a small patch on my cheek, my nose and my chin. I honestly did not see much difference in my skin although maybe my blackheads looked smaller and some were gone. But it wasn't a huge difference. I then tried using it over my whole face and there still wasn't a huge difference. Maybe slightly clearer but not enough to justify the price.

It doesn't sting my face badly so that's a plus and it washes off easily as well. 

I was super upset because I felt like I had wasted 90 bucks. Do you know how much make up I could have bought...... sigh. ☹

SIDE NOTE: the packaging said that if you use it for your whole face you can use it about 12 times and if you use it as spot treatments you can use it 1000 times. I paid 92 bucks for a mask that is only enough for 12 uses.. I swear it's really damn expensive and I'm the type of girl who wouldn't mind spending money on skincare. So for me to say that kinda shows something.
I left it alone for like a month and I just decided to use it again.

Conclusion:
I'm honestly still unsure about how I feel about this mask. I feel like the results are not enough to make me want to repurchase. You can only see a small difference and it's not like it's that amazing at treating spots in my opinion. Maybe it just doesn't work for me.
The origins mask I just blogged about is more beneficial for me. ☺

Origins Out of Trouble Mask

Flo gave me some of this the other day because I wanted to see if it really works. I have been preserving the amount she gave me because I didn't want to use it up till I received my own tube HAHA  ( I ordered it after like 2 uses). Can I just say that she's so sweet?! wlao like she told me 'Nevermind I give you some to try first see if it works for you' cause I wanted to buy it since she really loves it. Read her mini review here!

I don't have a picture of it yet but here's a screeenshot off the Origins Website!


It costs 50 SGD for 3.4Oz if I'm not wrong but I ordered it from US so it's even cheaper hahaha
This mask is damn cheap considering it's such an amazing mask.
I have paid waaaaay more for facial masks cause I just don't mind investing in skincare. 


You don't have to use much with this mask. I just put it on certain areas and spots that I feel need it. The product ever seems to end though. I'm not sure if it's cause she gave me quite a lot or that the product is really (Y) HAHA

Anyways, about the mask itself, I love it. Seriously love it. I love everything about it. The smell is like zambuk I feel. And it looks a bit like a toothpaste but a bit thicker. I love the consistency. And I love the fact that it doesn't sting my face and it washes off well without leaving my skin dry. It also doesn't have any residue. 
It has this minty feeling and it's damn cooling and not overpowering!
I feel like it really does something. I can't describe it though.
I felt a spot growing on my nose (WORST PLACE TO GET A PIMPLE) that day and I immediately used it for like a few hours cause I was lazy to wash it off. After I washed it off I felt like the spot 'stopped' forming. If that makes sense. Like it was less painful and after using my usual spot treatments that night, the pimple didn't even surface!!!! I'm pretty sure the mask played a part although my topical treatments are quite fantastic.
I've used this on like my chin, which is always clogged, and I can see a difference. It works just like the Kiehl's Mask I like. I feel like it draws out the oil and after I wash it off, the bumps are easier to squeeze. I really really love this product and I can't wait to receive mine~

It's made best for oily skin types but I have combination skin and it works just fine ☺
Flo has oily skin and she really loves it too!

Talking about this makes me wanna use it now so I'm going to end here! 

Hope this helps!

Lots of love,
Alexandria
