Opps, My Hand Is Itching!

Hey folks!

#Confession : I am a beauty product junkie. Regardless if it is to beautify the face, hair or skin, I'm madly interested in knowing more about it!

Thank goodness, I do not have the guts to splurge on everything new and reviewed so I often feed my addiction by watching videos of makeup gurus on YouTube. Recently, I have found my new holy grail site for beauty products which is a YouTube channel by Jenn from 'from head to toe'. Still one of my favorites, I would say Michelle Phan is more innovative in terms of creating DIY beauty products as well as makeup tutorials but I love Jenn's reviews on the products! She just gives one of the best, detailed reviews ever and it somehow made me ever more eager to get my hands on the products she had mentioned.

Also, because Jenn is half Asian, her eye make ups are more suitable for my similar type of eyes (small socket eye balls :( ). Total bummer when you try to follow makeup tutorials with gurus who have big gorgeous eyes, and when look in the mirror after its done, you go like 'Erm, didn't I just apply a block of eyeshadow there?' *closes one eye* 'OH!! THERE IT IS!!'. (=.=)'

Anyhoo, like I've said, I have been feeding the addiction with videos and damn, it gave me more serious itching on my hands! Here are a couple of awesome beauty products from Jenn's reviews that I would like to share with you: (I'll also include her videos in for a more detailed descriptions of the products)


1. Skin care: Clearasil Perfectawash

THIS I WOULD LOVEEE TO GET MY HANDS ON!!

Even until today, I still have my fair share of war with acne and breakouts along with my sensitive skin issue. Although with my current facial care routine, I can have more control of my skin condition as compared to last time. I have been switching from facial cleansers to toners to moisturizers and acne creams/sebums that does the magic for a short while until my skin gets immune to the treatment. Currently, I'm using Neutrogena's Deep Clean foaming cleanser together with Eucerin's DermoPurifyer Toner along with Garnier's Aqua Defense moisturizer; all adopted from different families and somehow, it works for me. However, my foaming cleanser can sometimes cause dryness to my skin, so I am looking for an alternative and then this video came along! Sadly, it is being sold almost everywhere in the States but you can hardly hear of it in Malaysia, so I'm crossing my fingers on this one!

2. Beauty: Revlon Lip Butters

ME WANT THESE BABIES TOOO! >.<

I was never a person who fancies lip products because I have really itchy mouth as I tend to unconsciously lick lip products off. From time to time, I have been hearing the craze on Nyx's super affordable RM10/RM12 per stick lipstick with a wide range of colors and since then, the itch for lip products had begun. I managed to forgo the itch for a moment because the only mean of getting Nyx lipsticks is through online purchases and I'm not much of a fan when it comes to buying things online considering the risk and payment/post hassle. 

Again, until this video came along… and I was hooked once more!

Lucky me, Revlon products are being sold at common drugstores here as well however, the Revlon in Malaysia only catered the Colorburst lipsticks instead of the Lip Butters! :( I suppose they would be quite similar as they are from the same line of lipsticks but according to the reviews I've read, the Colorburst lipsticks aren't as smooth and creamy as the Lip Butters. So I shall wait for the Lip Butters rather than just settling for the Colorburst.

Revlon Colorburst 

Again, crossing my fingers upon its buttery arrival in Malaysia!

3. Makeup tutorials: An everyday look with inexpensive products!

Okay, this isn't something you can purchase but more like an inspiration!

I find it really thoughtful of Jenn to switch from well-known expensive brands to common drugstore products from time to time as you know, makeup products can be real expensive. So its great to know of some alternative brands (less pricey ones) to experiment with. :)

So here it is! 

What I have been doing till 3 in the mornings throughout my holiday period. #Guilty
