WANT: Urban Decay Book of Shadows III

Urban Decay Book of Shadows III

I spotted this last week!!! Isn't it gorgeous?!? I'm hoping that the eyeshadows won't be repeat because I have got 3 palettes from Urban Decay already! That's pretty much all of the colours that they have! *crosses fingers*

Anyway, word has it that the Face Case won't be coming to Singapore. ): Awww... I think that that would have been a hit! I mean, I would get it! Haha. It's slim, compact and the blush is apparently a dupe for NARS' Orgasm (There are sooo many dupes for Orgasm. Doesn't make Orgasm very special now, does it?!? Lol!). BUT the Smoke Out Kit will be heading to our shores and so will a certain palette, belonging to a holiday collection (Please let it be this one!!!) or something like that, some time late this year. This is what the muffin has heard and can't be confirmed but keep your eyes peeled for any UD's updates here! (:

REVIEW: Kao's Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover

Ahhh! I am sooo excited about this post (because I'm loving this remover sooo much!)! And I had to post the swatches of the Urban Decay products before I could do this. Okay, okay! Onto the review!

I have always been a fan of Japanese stuff; Dramas, actors/ actresses, language, manga, anime and of course, beauty products!!! I used Kao Bioré's facial foams before and I loveee the smell and feel of them (BUT I always go back to Cetaphil. That's a story for another day!). Anyway, sometime last year, I was looking around for makeup removers. Before this, I used Olive oil but it give me milli seeds around my eye area. And before before that, I used removers from Neutrogena, Simple and the Body Shop. And I didn't like any of them. At all. They either sting or required lots of tugging at my skin.

Anyway, I spotted Kao Bioré's Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover and I like its description so I got it and guess what?!? I'M LOVING IT TA DA DA DA DA!!!

I hope the picture's clear enough for you to read the words. Basically, you pour an appropriate amount and use it on your dry face. And now, the reason as to why I had to do the entries on UD's products' swatches first is because of this...

Swatches of Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Zero, Binge, Covet, Electric, Yeyo and Bourbon and Lipstick in Gash

With just a little of the remover on a cotton pad (I know we aren't supposed to use it with a cotton pad, but just for convenience's sake.)...





For those who have tried Urban Decay's Glide-On Eye Pencils, you know how difficult removing them can get! Urban Decay's Clean and Sober is completely useless against them. *shakes head* But the Kao Bioré's Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover removes them with so much ease! Also, this remover is incredibly gentle on my face and eyes. It doesn't sting at all and it doesn't leave a I-think-my-face-has-been-stripped-of-all-its-natural-oil kind of tight feeling! The scent is pleasant, not in the least bit overpowering. Also, a little goes a long way!

One downside is that this is useless when it comes to Majolica Majorca's mascaras. SIGH. Everything is useless when it comes to Majolica Majorca. However, recently, I read that Cleansing Express Cleansing Lotion does the trick so I may be getting that on my next trip to Watsons!

Kao Bioré's Bioré Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover can be found at Watsons. (:

REVIEW: Urban Decay's Lipstick (Gash)

Got this a few weeks back. Previously, I used lip stains (which are of a girlish, cheery red) or just went out with my naked lips. BUT after watching 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'True Blood' (LOL! Anyone who's a fan of these 2 shows?!?), I had been wanting to try a deep red lipstick. And because I am such a big Urban Decay fanatic, their lipsticks were, of course, the first that I checked out. Gash caught my eye instantly (along with Apocalypse, Buzzkill, Confession, Gravity, Vinyl, Voodoo, Wanted... HAHAHA.). I wasn't willing to invest in a full-sized one because I'm really not a lipstick girl. So when Jasmine had this on her sales post, I commented for it and got it for $5.50.

And I have no idea why I just told you that story. Lol. Okay, onto the swatch!!!



On Urban Decay's website, it is described as 'blood red'. But seriously, I do not see anything 'blood red' about it. To me, it's more of a berry colour. And even then, it's not exactly very deep. (Sorry UD!) Still, I'm liking it quite a bit because it's a different look for me! (: Also, the lipstick isn't very thick so my lips don't feel yucky! Yay! (:

OH! Here's a quick tip which I picked up during my (very short. Yes, I have called it quits.) stint. Notice that Sephora Singapore doesn't carry any of Urban Decay's blushes? What a pity, isn't it?!? Well, you can just use their lipsticks as a substitute! Swipe some of the lipstick on your finger (Try Sellout, Naked, Wanted or Lovechild!) and DAB it on your cheeks!!! (:
