E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer Review ♥

Ever since I had a bad experience with the E.L.F tinted moisturizer, I have been trying to stay away from any of E.L.F's face products. Not that I dislike E.L.F or anything, I actually love this brand; some of their products are actually very good quality and very affordable. I was just trying to avoid getting pimples using products that does not fit my skin. Anyways, I have been eyeing up on the E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer but due to my previous experience with E.L.F's face products I kind of hesitated about it and plus no stores near me sells E.L.F, I either have to get them from America or TradeMe (New Zealand version of eBay) and it's a hassle sometimes. 

Back in October, I did a makeup swap with my very good friend Mary and in the package she has given me the E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer. **YAYYY** Girl can read my mind! I have been using this face primer everyday for work since I received it and I have been loving it so much. Today I want to share why I think it's one of the best  face primer out there~

Alright, so I have used primer from brands such as Tony Moly, Etude House, Shiseido (love this one but it's not very affordable) and more but they are all either very expensive or they feels so heavy on my face. 

I have the E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer in "tone adjusting green" which as stated on the elf website it is ideal for minimizing redness and correcting blotchy skin. The face primer comes in a white tube with a pump head which I like very much, it's easy to use and pump out the product. 

In each use I only need one pump of this face primer, one pump is enough for my whole face and last up to approximately 8 hours. The face primer is in a avocado green color but when applied on my skin / face it turns clear. 

E.L.F described this primer as one that will transform your face into a flawless and smooth canvas. Developed to combat against excess oil, flaky dryness, enlarged pores and fine lines. This primer will prepare your skin so makeup goes on evenly for a long lasting satin finish.

When I use this primer, my face doesn't feel heavy like when I used primer from other brands, the tone adjusting green does even out my skin tone and covers more of my redness which I usually have around my nose, my foundation or BB cream always goes on smoothly and doesn't look cakey. 

So very good product, except that it smells like petrol. Like that smell when you go to a petrol station, yeahhh ~ that smell~ It doesn't bother me thou, I am one of those weird peeps that don't mind those smell and also this primer is abit greasy but I am not surprised and no complaint either cause I do have oily skin. 

I love this product and I highly recommend all my readers to try it out, it is very affordable and always good to try new things ^-^

3 Concept Eyes Haul ♡

Three months ago, Arissa Cheo posted a picture of her "current obsession" of some 3 Concept Eyes products on her instagram; I instantly fell in-love with this brand even thou I know not much about 3CE. Right then, I thought that must be a good makeup brand cause we all know Arissa Cheo has amazing taste in everything!

Three months later, I finally get to try 3 Concept Eyes myself! Oh no, don't get it wrong, it didn't take that long to arrive haha ~ During this three months, beside saving money for the products I want, I also took some times to research and learn more about the brand. It seems like a lot of girls in Asia loves 3 Concept Eyes, almost all the reviews I searched up comes with positive feedback.

At first I was going to buy some 3 Concept Eyes lip products on eBay as it is much cheaper than everywhere else I've looked, but some people warn me that those 3CE products could be fake. True 3CE isn't that expensive, but since it's quite popular in China / Hong Kong / Taiwan, people sells fakes just to save some money. So I didn't want to risk getting fake products I end up buying my 3 Concept Eyes products from Stylenanda.

Here are a few products I bought:

 

Prices range from USD$13.00 to $30.00, shipping took only one week to arrive, which is very impressive for me! Service is very good, Stylenanda didn't miss any of my items, instead they gave me some nail remover tissue as gift ~ All items were came packed in bubble wraps and stylenanda's packing is very simple and nice.

 

Can't wait to start using these products ~

LABATO Leather iPad Case Review ♡

Labato Leather Case Megnetic Cover for Apple iPad 4 3 2 with Auto Awake & Sleep Function Fold Standing / Movie Stand Design Rose Red Color Lbt-IPD-03H33rose

Recently I have been given an opportunity to review this gorgeous ipad case by Labato, a brand that offers high quality and inexpensive cases for iPhone and iPads. Ever since I bought my ipad months ago, I have been looking for a suitable case to protect my ipad; suitable I mean it has to be stylish, durable and affordable. I could not find the perfect ipad case until this Labato case arrived in my mail, I was pretty impressed with the case ^-^

Labato case has a simple and slim design, very classy in my opionion ;) As described from their Amazon store, the case is "hand made from the Premium Leatherette matched with functional design and style to allow access to all ports whilst case is closed". It is "decorated with silkscreen, the color of which was designed through many attempts and adjustments", "Microfiber Leather with strong tenacity and wearability matches with contrast color stripes", "soft internal lining imprinted with Labato logo, the insurance of brand and quality", "equipped with smart-cover folio, cover to sleep for the iPad and open to wake it, intergrated 2 position stand functionalities with multi-viewing angles", (great for watching movies on ipad), "exquisite details processing on all edges and corners for full protection, free access to camera, USB port and loudspeaker".

The packaging of the Labato case is very simple, it comes in a white A4 size box with the word "labato ™" printed in the center; on the bottom it has "Case for iPad 2, The New iPad & iPad 4" printed in black ink.

The Labato case comes with a brand new sheet of screen protector for your ipad ~ bonus!

The front view of the Labato case.

The back view of the case. Very simple design and gorgeous color, the material of the outside of the case is very easy to clean, just wiped it with a damp cloth and the dirt is gone ;) I like to use makeup wipes to clean my case.

This Labato leather case comes with a magnetic cover which automatically turns off ipad when ipad case is closed and turns on ipad when the magnetic cover is lifted up or ipad case is opened. I am personally not a fan of this magnetic cover, I often feels like my ipad will die sooner if I keep turning it on then turning it off. Maybe it's just me who feels like this hehe maybe I really am weird :p I guess the magnetic cover is quite useful too, saves you a lot of time if you are rushing some where.

I like that the Labato case allows my ipad to sit in whatever positions they wish, the top picture shows the ipad siting straight up which is good for watching movies on ipad, which happens alot as I am always on YouTube and second and third picture shows the ipad can be put into a lower angle suitable for playing games and or just reading news.

Overall I am super impressed with this case. When I received the Labato case I was blown away by the quality, the camera hole is cut right, the case fits well, the color is gorgeous and it feels worthy.
