2011 Q1之最喜愛化妝品篇***

呢幾日我坐坐下突然忽發奇想, 諗有咩唔同既野可以寫下呢. 唔係, 我唔係轉行唔review, 只不過成日都單獨review野好似有d. 其實我成日係YouTube都見d人每個月都講下佢地既favourites, 我諗應該都幾好睇, 因為做得favourites都一定係好用先啦, 同埋一次過講一堆product好似娛樂性會高d. 但係我又覺得個個月講多過頭wor, 咁我就諗不如一個Quarter講一次啦! 一來多d野講 (產品都會唔同d), 二來唔洗set死個個月講咁悶!

(English:  These days I have been thinking if there are other interesting pieces that I could incorporate into my blog.  Nah, I am not changing my profession from reviewing items.  It’s just that I find writing dedicated pieces on reviewing one single item could be a bit too much sometimes.  Actually, I have been seeing people on YouTube sharing each month’s favourites.  I guess it would be quite interesting to read because if a product is included as “favourites”, that means it’s a good product.  Also if I could talk about many products in one blog piece, that would add to the piece’s entertainment level too!  However, I don’t think I would do this every month, because I feel it’s a bit much, so I opt to talk about my favourite items quarterly.  First, I’d have more things to share (the products would be quite different each quarter).  Second, it won’t be too boring if I talk about my favourite items quarterly.)

**老呆十五分鐘諗緊Q1嘅最愛化妝品** – 突然發現我有好多都無正式reviewwor!! 不如咁啦, 如果我之前無sharecommentd, 我會係呢度review, 等你地有個idea點解佢地榜上有名 (咁我諗我呢篇文一定會變得好好好長).

(English: **Diving deep into thinking about my Q1 favourite makeup items** – I suddenly reckon that I have many makeup items “un-reviewed”!  Well, let me share my comments here too  if I haven’t reviewed a particular item before so that you’d have an idea why those products are on the chart!  (hmmmm… I have a feeling that this blog piece could be really lengthy!!).)

底妝 Foudation

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation SPF 15

 

呢個之前都拍左片講過我點解咁鍾意佢 (回顧按此). 而家呢d潮濕天氣用仲正添, 因為佢真係夠透薄, d都唔heavy!

(English:  I shared this in one of my YouTube videos before (refresh memory).  I feel that its texture is just perfect for this kind of humid weather as it’s very thin and doesn’t create any burden to skin at all.)

Kanebo Freshel MoistLift BB Cream

 

呢個都拍左片喇 (回顧按此). 呢個我有少少覺得係平價版Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation, 佢比Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation厚身少少, 但係好用程度就一樣. 仲要佢咁平 (HK$99/ 50g), 平日返工粗用最好!

(English:  I also shared this in one of my YouTube videos before (refresh memory).  I feel like this is a cheaper version of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation.  Though it feels thicker than Chanel’s, its benefits are just similar.  The best part is it’s really cheap (HK$99/ 50g) – very good for normal work days!)

遮暇膏 Concealer

Benefit Erase Paste

 

呢個大家要等等我, 我暫時只可以講話我真係好鍾意用佢, 但係我遲d想整個video等我可以用佢黎compare with Bobbi Brown. 我整左再update大家啦!

(English:  You all have to wait for me on this review.  At this moment, I can say that I’m really in love with this product.  I want to do comparison between this and Bobbi Brown, once the YouTube video is done, I will let you all know.)

眼部化妝品 Eye Makeup

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

 

呢個好多人都知好用啦! 用左佢個眼妝唔會化又keep得好耐!! !!

(English:  I am sure many people know that this is good!  It makes the eye makeup last!  Brilliant!)

ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer

 

呢個就係Urban Decay平價版啦, 好用得黎夠平! 平日用唔會心痛.

(English:  This is a cheaper version of Urban Decay!  It’s very economical to use!)

ELF Eyeshadow + Urban Decay Eyeshadow

 

呢幾隻eyeshadow真係好好用, 超上色之餘, d粉質又好幼. 無打底都已經好出色添呀!! 讚讚讚!! 呢期成日都係呢幾隻brand嚟化眼妝!

(English:  I have been using these eye shadows lately!  They are all very pigmented, with fine texture.  I don’t need to use a primer and they are showing their true colors!  Very good!)

Chanel Long-lasting Eyeliner

 

呢隻用左好耐但係未講過. 呢隻算係好防水, 但係唔算好防油. 我鍾意佢嘅原因係佢夠黑同埋唔洗刨. 而且佢個芯好軟, 唔會整親眼. 同埋佢同Urban Decay一樣, 畫完之後可以blend開少少, d smoky eyes效果.

(English:  I have been using this for a long while but I haven’t got around to review it yet!  This eyeliner is water-proof but I can’t say it’s 100% oil-proof.  I love it because it’s really black in color and it’s a twist one.  The pen is very soft and it won’t hurt eye areas while applying.  It’s quite similar to Urban Decay’s that it allows you to blend it out to create a smoky look!)

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil

 

呢個之前整過video, commentChanel既一樣, 兩隻都差唔多.

(English:  I have talked about this previously in one of my videos, the comments are very similar to Chanel’s.)

Maybelline The Magnum Volum’ Express Mascara (Waterproof)

 

呢隻又係用左好耐但係未講過, 呢個系列我超鍾意呀! 又放水, 搽左之後又長又curl又濃密. 同埋又平啦, 所以差唔多日日都會用.

(English:  Oh, I have been using this for a long while without reviewing!  I love this series so much!  Very water-proof and it lengthens, adds volume and curl to my lashes!  The great thing is it’s cheap too!)

Maybelline x Hello Kitty Volum’ Express Mascara

 

呢隻之前講過!  正野!!

(English:  I have talked about this before – very good stuff.)

胭脂 Cheek Colors

MAC Beauty Powder

 

呢個好得意, 搽上面個陣凍凍地. 呢盒野其實可以用嚟成面搽, 但係我就覺得用嚟當胭脂靚d. 當胭脂用真係唔錯, 粉紅得嚟又有立體感! 當然, 佢亦都好long-lasting!

(English:  This is very interesting.  When I apply it on my face, I feel a bit of a cooling effect.  It says you can apply it all over your face but I think for the color I got, it’s better to use as a blush!  I love using this as a cheek color as it brings a pink-ish tone to my skin and adds to the dimension of my face!  Very long-lasting too!)

MAC Mineralize Blush

 

呢個唔洗講咁多. 出色之餘有少少閃同埋夠sa持久, 所以成日都用.

(English:  I don’t think I have to talk about this too much!  Very pigmented, a bit shimmery and very long-lasting!  I frequently use these too!)

Duwop Blush Booster

 

呢個都得意ga, 呢期真係超愛. 佢可以就咁當係胭脂用, 亦都可以加係自己既胭脂上面, 得個樣可以立睇. 兩個方法我都有試過, 真係好靚. 佢閃得嚟唔會好誇張, 令個樣3D. 佢又係勁出色同埋好持久. 我買呢隻色橙橙地, 所以我覺得好百搭. like!!

(English:  This is cool!  I’m in love with this these days!  It can be used alone as a blush or it can be used on top of another blush!  Because it has quite a bit of shimmer in it, it would make the face looks more 3 dimensional.  I try both methods and I really love this.  It’s not over the top at all!  Again, very pigmented and long-lasting!  I got this color (close to orange) and I feel rather healthy using this!)

Lipstick

Lola Lip Creme Lipstick

 

呢個買左無幾耐, share, 想用真d先再share係咪真係咁好, 但係so far個色 (Petunia)就好spring, 所以好鍾意.

(English:  Haven’t got this too long ago, therefore let me try it a few more times before reviewing it.  So far, all I can say is I am really in love with the color (Petunia) – reminds me of spring!)

Smashbox Photo Finish Lipstick

 

呢個都算係新野, 個色(Charming)好靚同埋搽落唔乾, 感覺唔錯. 用耐少少會同Lola個枝再詳細share!

(English:  A product I got quite recently.  Love the color (Charming) and moisturizing effect.  Again, I will review this in detail later.)

指甲 Nail Polish

China Glaze (Color: Heli-yum & Recycle)

 

呢隻都係用左好一期, 不過未share comments佢大陣味d, 不過好好油, coat多數就已經好靚同好令. 同埋佢都keep到成7, 所以佢都係我既最愛之一, d色多數都既特別下, 但係唔算好多色揀. 而家最愛係Heli-yum & Recyle!! 兩隻色都好靚。

(English:  I have been using China Glaze for quite a few items but I am quite late in my comments.  I think they don’t smell too nice but they are great to apply.  I find that only one coat is good enough!  They last for around 7 days too, so they become one of my favourites.  They don’t have a wide color ranges but they do have some special color selection.  My favourites are Heli-yum and Recycle!  Both look really nice!)

Barry M Nail Paint (Color: Shocking Pink & Navy)

 

呢隻之前都講過, last9! 點會唔鍾意丫! like暫時都係Shocking Pink同埋Navy呢兩隻色 (但係我一時時, 所以favourite color成日都會轉).

(English:  I talked about this before!  Barry M is one of my favourite brand!  The nail paints last around 9 days on nails!  What more could I ask for?  Now, my favourite colors are Shocking Pink and Navy!  Well, but my favourite colors do change from time to time!)

, 篇文真係超長. 希望你地鍾意睇啦! 如果鍾意就話聲我知, 等我keep住每個quarter都整一次丫!wor! 咁你地會唔會想睇2011 Q1之最喜愛護膚品篇?

(English:  OMG!  This piece is exceptionally long!  Hope you enjoy reading it as much as me writing it!  If you enjoy it, please let me know so that I could keep doing it once every quarter!  Oh!  Would you all be interested to read my favourite skincare item in Q1 2011?)

Freshel BB Cream 好用過某d Foundation***

之前貪平貪得意買左Kanebo Freshel MoistLift BB Cream黎試, 用左都有一段時間, 係時候分享下:

(English:  I got Kanebo Freshel MoistLift BB Cream awhile ago because of its texture and friendly price tag!  I have been trying it out for quite some time and here comes my sharing:)

Smashbox Haul Item Swatch 大試色***

嘻嘻, 之前去左Smashbox敗左家, 當然又係試色時候啦!   話時話, 我今次敗個d野我超級滿意, 因為d色好earth tone, 真係好多時候都用得著, 同埋quality真係正 (等我遲d逐樣share下啦).  而家睇下試色效果先:

 

(English:  *Smiles*  As you can see in the previous video that I went to Smashbox to haul some stuff!  It’s swatching time again!  To be honest, I am completely happy with the Smashbox haul, the colors that I picked were more on the earth tone side and they do suit a lot of looks, not to mention the quality is great (I will share my comments on each of them later!).  Swatch time:)

無買錯, 近期係咁試呢幾隻野, 真係好正.  我尤其鍾意Fusion Lights!  d色超natural, 分開做eyeshadow又靚, 或者用黎做bronzer又正.  如果再有staff sale就好喇, 一定會再去敗敗敗!!

 

(English:  I’m in love with all the items that I have!  I have been trying all the abovementioned products these days and I exceptionally love Fusion Lights!  The colors are super natural; they can be used separately as eyeshadows or mixed together as a bronzer!  Amazingly good!  If I could sneak into the staff sale again, I definitely would haul again!!)

Smashbox Staff Sale Haul***

正正正!!  我之前有friend比左個Smashbox Staff Sale Pass我.  仲要我同個個friend唔係好熟, 佢話佢拎到個pass個陣諗起我 (因為我化妝), 所以比我!!  真係多謝sa佢, 唔係都買唔到d又平又正既野喇.  睇下我敗左d咩抵野丫:

(English:  Fabulous!!  I was given a Smashbox Staff Sale Pass by a friend and the amazing thing was I wasn’t even that close to that friend.  He said when he received the pass, he thought it would be useful for me (coz I wear makeup!), so he gave that to me.  I really had to thank him here, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to haul some cheap and great stuff.  Let’s take a look at what I have got:)

(English:  Right now, I have been using Jelly Eye Color N and Lip Jewel.  So far so good.  I will share my comments with you all later.)

P.S.  你地有無用開Jill Stuart化妝品護膚品?  有無d你地覺得好用既推介?  我要買多一次野就會成為佢地永久VIP, 我應該下個月尾會再去一次.  我暫時未諗到買咩, 所以睇下你地有無推介啦.  唔係我就買香水 !

(English: P.S.  Have you been using Jill Stuart cosmetics/ skincare products?  Any recommendation?  I will have to go there to spend one more time to become their permanent VIP.  I think I will go there sometime end of next month.  I haven’t had any idea of what to get just yet, so I would like to see if you’d recommend any of their products.  If not, I think I’m just gonna get the perfume instead !)

Jill Stuart Cosmetics Haul***

上次係Facebook影左張相同大家講話我無啦啦興起去左Jill Stuart敗家.  我都唔知我做咩人地黎左香港咁耐我先有興趣去買, 可能係我之前係台灣買過佢地隻四色eyeshadow palette 覺得d粉質有少少粗, 所以之後無左興趣.  不過我近期對佢地個Jelly Eye Color有d心動,所以再比多次second chance佢啦.  睇下我買左d咩丫:

(English:  As mentioned last time on Facebook, I went to Jill Stuart Beauty to haul some stuff!  I don’t really understand why it takes me such a long while to go there and check out their items.  Well, maybe it’s because I got its 4-colored eyeshadow palette in Taiwan (before its arrival in HK) before and thought the powder was a bit too coarse.  After that experience, I wasn’t motivate to check out the brand again.  However, I suddenly got a nerve to try their Jelly Eye Color, I guess almost everything worths a second chance (hmmm…sometimes…).  Let’s see what I’ve got from there :)

拍拍下個video camera 無電…等左兩個鐘再黎過 (頭髮都亂鬼埋).  希望你地鍾意睇啦.

(English:  While I was shooting the video, the video camera went dead…I had to wait for two hours to shoot the last part (that’s why my hair was kinda messy at the last part of the video).  Hope you all enjoy the video!)

Tart The Jewelry Box Swatches – Part 1***

聖誕前我叫我係美國個friend幫我係Sephora敗家, 有咩要非麻煩佢不可?  就係呢盒野喇:

Chanel Ombres Pearlees Eyeshadow Palette Swatches 試色圖***

之前睇左我個生日video (回顧按此) 都知我敗左Chanel Spring 2011 Collection個Eyeshadow Palette!  平時既Spring Collection我就真係無緣, 但係今年興灰色, 所以都可以買下.  一路買左都未用, 所以寫唔到review住 (遲少少補翻啦), 而加比住個試色圖大家望下先:

(English:  As mentioned in the previous birthday haul video (refresh memory), I got Chanel’s Spring Collection Eyeshadow Palette.  I don’t usually haul spring collection since I don’t usually like the colors.  But this year, grey is back and that’s why I got the eyeshadow palette.  I haven’t been trying this out yet, so I cannot review this at the moment, but I’m posting the swatches for you all to enjoy first:)

Chanel Ombres Pearlee Eyeshadow Palette

價錢 (Price): HK$490

The Back:

哈哈, 呢盒野係Made In Japan!!

(English:  Hahaha, it’s made in Japan!!)

Open up:

5隻色都好靚.  呢個palette最少都做到兩個makeup look!  唔錯唔錯.  遲先諗下點玩比大家望下.

(English:  All of the 5 colors are very nice!  I could immediately think of at least two makeup looks!  Not bad!  I will try to post some makeup looks later – if I am not too lazy!!)

On Hand (Without Eyeshadow Primer):

Closer (Without Eyeshadow Primer):

So far試上手感覺唔錯wor!  粉質好幼細同埋無用eyeshadow primer都好上色.  不過我都係試真d先再同大家share我既感覺啦.

(English:  So far so good!  The powder is very fine and its colors are vivid even without using an eyeshadow primer.  Well well well, but I have to use it for a good while before sharing my comments with all of you.  I would like to make sure it’s not a first impression thing before I say anything!)
