Shine bright like a Diamond with Maybelline

Rihanna Shine bright like a Diamond ...


Oops, I missed out this item in last beauty product review... Maybelline Hyper Diamond eyeshadow!
I got mine in GD-1, gold color and it's so glitter powder and so shinny.

Here is the to view with the transparent top cover. It come with a small sponge applicator. the sponge quality is just normal, not so good if compared to KATE. I would say KATE really did a great job for their applicator, brush and puff. They are also drugstore but the applicator quality like counter brands. However the price is towards to the high-end drugstore products here in Malaysia. So, with the price for Maybelline, i think this kind of quality is quite reasonable.

The ingredient in English at the plastic packaging and Japanese description at the back of the casing.
I have no idea why printed in Japanese, probably made in China and selling in Japan too. Since Japanese are the fans of shinning or glitter eye shadow. I guess Maybelline Hyper Diamonds eye shadow sell pretty well in Japan too.


Open the top cover and your can see the reflection of the little shinning glitter particles and the gold color is the most outstanding.

From the other angle, you can see the design of the top plastic cover is diamond cut design. The design really suit the name as well as the eye shadow itself :)

Here is the swatch review of this eye shadow:
I love color #1 the most, it is very pigmented. #3 can put on the top center of the eye lid as a touch of finishing. Overall I'm quite satisfy with the result. I got mine around RM28++ after 20% discount, quite affordable price.

If you have Maybelline color tattoo eyeshadow, you can use it as a base before putting on this Hyper Diamond eye shadow and the color will last longer and much define. Here is the tutorial to show you:


Here is a quick tutorial to show how to direct apply using this eyeshadow and dramatic mascara to achieve Leopard look:

Beauty Hauls for September 2013

Another beauty haul from drug store and Sephora! Yeah!

Recently Sephora open at Penang Paragon mall, so happy that I no need to go all the way to KL and get my favorite cosmetics products (e.g Stila and Urban decay). I love Stila eye shadow, the color pay off very good and UD eye primer is a must have item to keep your eye shadow last and color pop. Let's talk about what I got recently : 

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in BP402 DEWY BEIGE. 


Where to buy: Watson Drug Strore
Color: Good quality and color payoff
Texture: Cream
Packaging:  Gold color, Descent and Elegant
Scent: Fragrance Free 
Yeah! they have improved on this, last time used smell like typical lipstick scent like wax. I really have no idea how to describe it.


Sephora lipgloss in #24 Dazzling Violet - Reflex
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Asphyxia
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in FLASH


Where to Buy: Sephora
Color: Violet and Purple
Lip gloss scent: Vanilla, smell like MAC lip gloss

I'm used to love brown. This is something different that what I have, so plan to wear more funky color during the weekend and not so serious. Love them all !
