Cle De Peau 底妝產品用後感 Cle De Peau Base Makeup Review

趁住Sogo Thankful Week,趁低吸納下D貴價化妝品先。睇左佢地D leaflet,最有興趣係呢一個Perfect Base Makeup Set。因為本身都想買Cle De Peau既粉底黎用下,睇下係咪真係傳說中咁好用。

呢一set係HK$1530,粉底 HK$980,而base HK$550。送一支細makeup base,粉底掃,小型化妝袋,粉餅及遮瑕試用裝同旅行裝護膚品。。其實真係幾抵,因為CDP的產品一向都貴! 而家同一價錢但就可以有咁多贈品。

Went to get some luxury high end makeup products during the Sogo Thankful Week. Looked thru the leaflet, i want this Cle De Peau foundation set the most. Because I wanted to try their foundation for a long time, as its one of their best selling item.

This Perfect Base Makeup Set is HK$1530, foundation is HK$980, and the base is HK$550. Including a mini makeup base, foundation brush, small makeup bag,  powder compact + concealer sample and a set of travel size skincares. It's a good deal coz CDP products are so expensive. And with the same money you get lot of freebies.

 
不太喜歡的化妝袋,唔靚ge... Dont like this makeup bag, its not useful/ pretty...


Makeup base同foundation可自由組合。我揀左smoothing base for lines + silky cream foundation,因為cream foundation感覺有點乾所以冇揀到。

In the set you can choose one makeup base and a foundation you like. I have chosen the smoothing base for lines + silky cream foundation coz i think the cream foundation is a bit dry.




Smoothing base for lines確實有填平細紋既效果,質感幾好,幾滋潤,搽完毛孔都冇咁明顯。有SPF26,唔多控油,可能唔適合油性皮膚。顏色太白,搽完塊面都係偏白...

Smoothing base for lines really smoothed out small lines. The texture is pretty good, easy to blend. Pores look less obvious after using this base. It has SPF 26, not good at oil control so its not very suitable for oily skin. The color is a bit too white, it makes my skin looks much whiter.


粉底都有防曬SPF 20,顏色唔算多,我揀了O10。

Foundation has SPF 20 also, not much color to choose. I got the O10.


用好小分量但推開都可以搽晒個手背。遮瑕度係中至高,要遮多D就要搽多少少。

A small drop can easily blend and cover the back of my hand. Coverage is medium to high, buildable for a higher coverage.


另外送的一堆垃雜野係咩黎呢?

And what are these things?!

-粉底試用-

我係屬於混合性皮膚偏油少少。皮膚雖然唔算差,但年紀大左,訓少D黑眼圈同眼袋都會走出黎同我say hello,好恐怖。而且皮膚太薄,青根紅印十分明顯,又有雀斑。 

早幾年都未需要用到高度遮瑕既粉底,但而家(尤其做化妝之候)比較鍾情full coverage,因為一支好粉底可以慳返唔少時間去遮瑕。如果真係覺得太厚,解決方法係將粉底mix保濕gel/ cream,可以令粉底稀同薄D。

-Foundation Review- 

I have combination skin and a bit oily sometimes. My skin is not bad, but as im getting older, dark circles and eye bags come out to say hello if i dont have enough sleep, pretty scary! And because my skin is very thin,  can see redness and veins so easily, also my freckles.

When i was few years younger, i didnt need to use high coverage foundation. I started to love and go for full coverage (specially after i became a makeup artist), because a good foundation with enough coverage save me a lot of time. And if you find the foundation too thick, you can always dilute it with a moisturizing gel/ lotion and make it thinner.


上粉底我係用手指上,之後再用呢種kabuki brush blend。呢D掃毛好幼,可以搽到手指搽唔到既毛孔,而且可以令粉底更加均勻。

Normally i use my fingers to apply foundation, and then use a kabuki brush to blend. The brush has many small fibre and they can buff foundation into my pores to give a even better finish.


最後加埋碎粉,都遮得7788,雀斑我一般係唔會遮架。朋友覺得好可愛,但係我就快會做laser消滅佢!!!

After i applied loose translucent powder, my skin is looking so much nicer and cleaner. I dont really cover my freckles, altho my fds think they are cute, i will do laser facial to kill them all very soon.



確實係一個幾好既粉底! 易堆,遮瑕度夠,唔乾。用左全日都只係出左少少油。唯一缺點係價錢太貴吧~ 如果後生皮膚又好的話,有好多其他選擇啦!

Honestly, its a pretty good foundation. Easy to blend, good coverage, and it wont make you skin dry. Have been using it for a whole day and it didnt make my skin very oily. The only disadvantage should be the price, its too expensive. If you are young and with good skin, you have a lot of other options!

$100以下秋冬唇膏推介 + 妝文 Fav drugstore lipstick under $100

上次講到呢個冬天好興酒紅色咀,今次係網友要求講下有咩平價深紅色唇膏。其實我都冇乜買開架式品牌既唇膏,所以特登去左睇同買左D返黎試下。

In the previous post i talked about the dark lips trend, and i do this post by someone requested. In fact i dont uy drugstore lipsticks very often, but because i wanna write this post, i went to see and bought some nice colors home.



講左個眼妝先。由於要試好多顏色,所以眼妝只係簡單既單色眼影妝。用左Bobbi Brown呢個唔知咩palette入面中間呢個有少少閃粉顏色。

First, my eye makeup. Since i will be trying a lot of lip colors, so i wanna keep my eye makeup simple and not too colorful. Here im using the centre color in this Bobbi Brown eyeshadow palette.


個名叫Onyx

It's called Onyx


先化好底妝,畫眉。eyeshadow搽眼蓋+下眼線位,再用liquid eyeliner畫眼線。最後搽埋mascara。

Starting from basic makeup routine, draw my eyebrows. Use the eyeshadow on both my eyelids and bottom eyeliner areas. Then finish with liquid eyeliner and mascara.


胭脂用了Nars好靚既粉紅色Angelika。而搽胭脂我最鍾意用Mac 168號掃。

Blush i used Angelika from Nars, very pretty pink. And i applied it using my fav blush brush no. 168 from Mac.




行晒各大連鎖化妝品店,買左(以下)7支唇膏。除左佢地其實都有好多好靚嘅顏色揀,不過我最鍾意呢幾個色,同埋覺得佢地好啱今季嘅深色咀trend。

Bought 7 lipsticks (below) after lot of swatches in different drugstores. There are still many other color to choose, but these are the colors i like and i think they are very suitable for the dark lip color trend this season.




左至右 (from left to right) - Revlon Colorburst – 095 Crimson, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - 005 Crush, Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks - Passionate Red 35 & Intense Plum 45, Maybelline color sensational lip color - 645 Red Revival & 435 Plum Perfect, Majolica Majorca Rogue Majex - RD412




上一行 (On first row): Majolica Majorca Rogue Majex - RD412

左至右 (From left to right): Revlon Colorburst – 095 Crimson, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - 005 Crush, Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks - Passionate Red 35 & Intense Plum 45, Maybelline color sensational lip color - 435 Plum Perfect & 645 Red Revival 






潤唇膏我用Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream

I love using Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream as a lip balm


Revlon Colorburst - 095 Crimson

Crimson係一個偏暖帶橙啡嘅深紅色。好滑,好易搽。就算搽一層都非常實色。

Crimson is a warm orangey brownish red. Very smooth, easy to apply. Very opaque even with only one swipe. 


Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - 005 Crush

Crush係一個深紫紅色。雖然佢完全唔實色,但如果想深色D就要搽多幾層。亦由於佢係balm stain嘅關係,佢有潤唇膏咁潤,而且顏色可以last好耐。

Crush is plum red color. The color is not opaque at all but buildable if you want a darker color pay off. It is a balm stain which moisturize your lips with a long lasting finish.  

 




Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks - Passionate Red 35

Passionate Red係帶少少金屬亦有好細粒紅色閃粉嘅紅色,亮澤感重。非常柔滑,筆型設計亦易上色。顏色顯色不過唔算實色。

Passionate Red is a metallic red with some tiny tiny little red shimmer, shinny finish. Very creamy, easy to apply from a pen. Quite pigmented but not very opaque.

 



Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks - Intense Plum 45


  非常非常柔滑,比 Passionate Red 35更加軟,一搽上咀同搽半溶嘅唇膏感覺差唔多。呢個亦係金屬感嘅顏色。帶啡嘅深紫色內有深啡同紫色微細閃粉,顏色好特別!好容易搽但唔可以細緻畫出咀型,最好用唇筆打底因為唇邊易化開。

Very very creamy, even softer than the Passionate Red 35, felt like putting on a half melted lipstick. This is also a metallic color, brownish dark purple with some dark brown + purple shimmer, special color! Glide on easy but cant draw sharp lines, better use lip pencil as a base coz it feather.

 


Maybelline color sensational lip color -  435 Plum Perfect

 質地同Revlon Colorburst十分相似。好滑,好易搽,好實色。顏色係深紫紅色。雖然深色但搽完唔會有中毒或殭屍feel,好靚嘅一個色!

Texture similar to the Revlon Colorburst. Very smooth, easy to apply and very opaque. Color is dark plumy. It wont make you look poisoned or vampy, very pretty color!


 

Maybelline color sensational lip color - 645 Red Revival

質地同上。超級靚嘅紅色!佢係一個偏藍嘅紅,搽上之後皮膚同牙睇落都白左。竟然喺開架式化妝品搵到一個咁靚嘅紅色實在係十分驚喜。

Texture same as above. Very gorgeous red! It's a cool tone red and it makes my skin n teeth look so much whiter. Surprising to see such a nice red color in drugstore makeup.


 

Majolica Majorca Rogue Majex - RD412

雖然呢支唔係唇膏,但呢支MJ限量唇彩確實十分之靚,所以都喺度講埋啦。佢係一支非常實色嘅唇彩,用有好香嘅生果味。質地又唔會太黏所以都好啱我。可以淨係搽唇中間做咬唇妝。

Altho is not a lipstick, this limited lip gloss from MJ is very pretty, so i included it into this review. It's very very pigmented bright red and it has a fruity scent. Texture is not that sticky and i love it. you can put it in the center of your lips to create ombre lips.

 




跟上面次序由上至下

Following the order above from top to bottom



呢度所有唇膏都係為HK$100以下,確實好抵。好鍾意佢地D質地同顏色。大家好依個人喜好選擇。

All these lipsticks are under $100, good value. Love all their texture n colors. You can choose by your own preference.




唇膏試用真係慘,玩完一輪個最紅晒!我用8 hrs cream當remover,咁樣可以抹得乾淨之如亦都唔會令個咀太dry。


It's not fun doing lip swatches, my lips are so red after trying different colors! I put on 8hrs cream to remove the lip colors instead of any lip makeup remover, it leave my lips softer n not as dry.





試完以上咁多顏色之後,今日化妝決定用Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - Crush,主要因為唔想日間被人感覺太濃妝。呢支唇筆好持久,就算食完野都唔駛補搽。

Makeup of the day - I have chosen the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - Crush after trying all these lipsticks above, mainly because i dont want my makeup to look too strong during the day time. This balm stain last very long, i dont need to reapply even after eating.















希望大家鍾意我今次嘅分享!有問題的話可以留言比我。:)

Hope you like and find this post help! Leave me comment if you have any question. :)

Winter Berry Lips Makeup 冬季酒紅唇妝

今季好興深色酒紅色唇妝,所以我都好搽多左好多深色唇膏。雖然男朋友會問我係咪中毒,而有D朋友同我講Halloween已經過左..... 但自己開心,唔需要理人點睇,自己鍾意搽乜就搽乜。如果唔想個妝太鬼,眼妝就盡量唔好太濃,而胭脂搽返紅D冇咁蒼白就會好好多~ 

Berry/ wine lip color is popular this season, so i put on dark lipstick quite often recently. Altho sometimes my bf asks if im poisoned, and some fds told me Halloween was over... Bur i dont really care, as long as im happy, i do whatever makeup i want. If you dont wanna look too gothic/vampy, keep the eye makeup simple, use a brighter blush color to balance the total look.





眼妝部份我用左上次介紹Jill Stuart Strawberry Collection入面既粉紅色+liquid eyeliner,好簡單。 

For the eye makeup, i used the pink eyeshadow i talked about in the previous Jill Stuart Haul post. Simply apply the pink eyeshadow with a black liquid eyeliner.






唇膏用左Armani Rouge d'armani 611。好鍾意呢支唇膏,因為顏色靚好潤好易搽又夠實色,超級推介! 有支深紫紅色好似係610,想買但係斷了貨。另外Armani的Lip Maestro都十分好用。

For the lipstick here, i used Armani Rouge d'armani 611. I'm so in love with this lipstick, because the color is so pretty, super moisturzing, pigmented and opaque! Highly recommended! There's another one, more purplish color, i think it was no. 610 but sold out. Also Armani Lip Maestro is very good too.



今次冇開post寫我既新gel甲,因為係超級簡單的nude粉紅。有時整得太多花哩花look都想返璞歸真一下~ 呢個顏色令我感覺D指甲好乾淨呀!

Didnt write any new post about my new gel nails this time, because its nth special, just a nude pink color. Sometimes i do plain and "normal" nail colors after lots of fancy/ crazy nailart. This color makes my nails look very clean!


我諗黑髮化呢個妝可能冇咁妖~

Actually i think this makeup suits black hair better~




送上八哥小狗一隻。我一路化妝佢一路望實我以為我有野食! 哈哈! 

Haha, let me show you this cute lil monster. He's been watching me for so long, he prob thinks i have sth to eat in the makeup bag.


黎緊會再講下under HK$100的深色唇膏。至於makeup video就真係未有時間拍住ahhh...

I'll blog about dark lipsticks under HK$100 in the coming blog post, please stay tuned. And sorry because i really have no time to do makeup video..... T_T

Sephora & drugstore makeup Hauls

早前朋友Pok Pok去美國旅行,佢好興奮時我都好興奮,因為可以"搭單"叫佢幫我買香港買唔到的化妝品 (其實主要都係0係Sephora入面可以買得到)。另外仲有呢位好朋友買比我既開架式化妝品做手信,實在太開心喇~~ 搞到我都想快D再去下美加旅行!

由於我實在太多野想買,不能盡錄... 所以只係精簡地講左幾樣我最想要既items。包括MAC兩支唇筆,Anastasia Beverly Hills粉紅睫毛液,兩支Urban Decay閃粉眼線液同埋兩支Kat Von D既唇膏。手信有四支Rimmel x Kate Moss唇膏,Sexy Booster胭脂
同埋Elf Lip Stain(但我返到屋企發現應該跌左... Sorry...)。

My fd Pok Pok went to US few weeks ago, she was so excited and i felt the same! Because I could ask her to get me some makeup products which i cannot find/ buy in Hong Kong (basically all from Sephora). Also she bought me some drugstore makeup as a gift, so so so excited and happy! Makes me wanna go US or Canada!

Since there are toooooo many things i wanna buy, i only listed out a few products that i wanted the most. Including 2 MAC lip pencils, Anastasia Beverly Hills pink mascara, 2 Urban Decay heavy metal eyeliner and 2 Kat Von D lipsticks. Also i got 4 Rimmel x Kate Moss lipsticks, Sexy Booster blush and a Elf lipstain as a gift, woo hoo. (but i found that i've lost/ dropped the lipstain somewhere... prob lost it)


先講下呢兩支超級深色既MAC唇筆,香港MAC本來係冇得賣既。Currant其實我已經買左,因為佢0係Rick Baker系列出現過,不過變左限量版既價錢(即係Mac Pro discount),而且賣完就冇。Nightmoth好多外國化妝師用黎畫漸變咀,可惜香港唔知點解冇賣呢個顏色呢?

First, let me talk about these 2 lip pencils. They are not limited products but you cant normally find them in Hong Kong Mac stores. I bought the Currant one in Hong Kong from the Rick Baker collection, but bought with a limited product price (no Mac Pro discount). And I wanted to buy Nightmoth so much because I saw many foreign makeup artist use it to do ombre lips. These are so cool, dont know why Mac dont sell these colors in Hong Kong.


Currant係好深既酒紅色,比較紫。而Nightmoth比Currant更加深,偏啡黑色。

Currant is a very deep, wine purplish red. And Nightmoth is even darker than Currant, but its a more very dark brownish color.


跟住就係想買好耐但online shop又斷左貨既Anastasia Beverly Hills粉紅睫毛液。其實真係好少牌子有出粉紅色既mascara架,朋友都行左好多間Sephora先買到架,辛苦晒。

And then its the pink mascara from Anastasia Beverly Hills i have been wanting for so long. It's sold out on their website, also in many Sephoras in the US. My fd went to many store to buy this for me... big thank to her!!



裡面除左mascara外仲有支lash coating,聲稱搽可令眼睫毛液更加防水。

There's a lash coating in the box, it helps the mascara last longer and waterproof.




另外Urban Decay呢支heavy metal閃粉eyeliner我已經買過,不個想要多兩個顏色,聖誕節化妝時可以用佢地啦~

I have purchased this Urban Decay heavy metal eyeliner before, wanna get 2 more colors coz they are awesome and so sparkle. Gonna use them for Christmas makeup. 



試上手睇下,但係相機唔太影到D閃粉既閃....

Swatched them on the back of my hand, but the camera doesnt pick up the "bling" very well....


另外我叫朋友幫我揀兩支Kat Von D唇膏,一支鮮紅一支深紅。由於朋友對化妝品冇乜研究,所以呢個重任落左去某位Sephora姐姐身上,哈哈。

I asked my fd to choose 2 Kat Von D lippies for me, 1 crimson red, 1 dark red. As my fd doesnt know much about makeup, so she asked the Sephora staff to choose it for me, haha.


之前買過好多Kat Von D眼影盤,質量都不錯。見佢D唇膏咁靚所以點都買兩支試下。Sephora姐姐幫我揀咀Underage Red同Hellbent,應該都係熱門顏色吧。

Bought many Kat Von D eyeshadow palettes before and they are quite good. Also there are many pretty colors in her lipstick collection, thats why i wanna try them so much. The Sephora staff picked Underage Red and Hellbent for me, guess these are popular colors.


包妝好靚呀!

Nice packaging!



顏色靚呀,而且都好顯色,質地亦十分滋潤。但可能因為咁,所以唇膏雖然好上色不過唔係好實色。

Very pretty colors, quite pigmented and very moisturizing. Maybe because of that, the color is not as opaque as i thought.


Rimmel x Kate Moss唇膏。朋友買左好多支做手信,我揀左呢四支。其實離開左英國之後已經冇再接觸Rimmel既化妝品lu....

Move onto Rimmel x Kate Moss lipsticks. My fd bought a lot of them, and i picked 4. Actually, since i left UK i havent really look at Rimmel products anymore, as i dont get to see them in hk anyway... 



上網睇返先支黑色同紅色包裝既分別。大家都係lasting finish,而紅色包裝係matte。

Checked their website and now i know they are both lasting finish, but the red bottle is a matte color.


搽出黎又冇睇起上黎咁深色bor~

they dont look as opaque as in the bottle~


最後就係呢盒好可愛既Sexy Booster胭脂,唔知咩牌子。

Last one, its the Sexy Booster blush, and.... i dunno what brand it is.



包裝確實好可愛

Cute packaging



背部打開係鏡+胭脂掃,好好既設計! 因市面好多胭脂都唔跟掃,保妝超唔方便!

There's a mirror and a blush brush at the back. Love the design coz not many blush come with a brush, i hate to bring one more brush out for a touch up!



今次忍唔住要立即試用既係Anastasia Beverly Hills粉紅睫毛液。睫毛液好易搽易上色,比我想像中還要上色。不過,好失望地.... 由於本人既眼睫毛實在太短太稀疏,所以搽完mascara base再搽,效果都係強差人意。我期望中既粉紅眼睫毛并唔係咁gaaaa......

Ok, so this time i couldnt wait to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills pink mascara. The mascara is very pigmented, very easy glide on than i expected. BUT, very disappoint is.... my eyelashes! Maybe i have very short and poor lashes, they dont look good even i put on mascara base before the pink mascara........ This is not the pink eyelashes i wanted.... maybe it's fate... :(








要買以上呢D product,可能要等去旅行或托朋友買。最近有Sephora既國家係 - 中國。但係好似好多品牌都冇,最近可能都要去到新加玻吧! 或者可以搵代購網,我也在研究當中。

如果你地都有用緊外國既product,不況話我知有咩好用啦! :)


To buy all these products, you have to buy them when you go travel or ask your fd for help. The nearest Sephora should be in China? But they dont carry these brands above, so i guess you might have to go to Singapore! Or you can find some website for ordering products for you from overseas.

 Let me know if you are using any good/ nice products from Sephora, i will definitely check them out next time when i have chance! :)
