天氣又開始熱, 係時候又要物色下一d新既底妝產品.  之前見Maybelline出左bb base, 試過個texture, 感覺好良好, 但係可惜個color tone對我黎講太白, 所以唯有放棄.  哈哈, 點知佢今年竟然出多隻色比tanned skin!  你話係咪開心到我暈左!!

(English:  Summer time again!  It’s about time to search for some new products to create a light weight foundation.  I noticed that Maybelline released a BB Base earlier, I tried the texture and fell in love with it, however, the color wasn’t suitable for me.  I had no choice but to give up.  Haha…this year, they release another color for tanned skin!  Yay!!  How could I not give it a go?)

呢隻就係新出既02色, 係比擁有自然膚色既人用.

(English:  This is the new release – 02.  It’s for people with natural/ tanned skin color.)

價錢 (Price): HK$99/ 30ml

除左出多左 02 呢隻色比自然既膚色外, 佢仲出多左隻白色tube, 呢隻係有SPF50 PA+++, 如果去做一d戶外活動, 呢枝就好suitable喇!

(English:  Apart from the 02 one, they release a white tube one with SPF50 PA+++.  If you are going to do some outdoor activities, this would be suitable!)

價錢 (Price): HK$99/ 30ml

Product Information:

8大益處: 水潤, 彈性, 幼滑, 細緻毛孔, 光采, 剔透, 減淡泛紅, 減淡暗啞

(English:  8 Benefits: Hydrating, improves elasticity, smoothens, tightens pores, adds radiance, adds transparency, minimizes redness, kicks away dullness.)

Texture:

你見到啦, 推開真係好薄, 薄到唔覺得我搽左野.

(English:  As you can see, it’s really THIN!  Can you even tell I have put that on?)

呢隻對我黎講係白左少少, 唔緊要, 呢個問題都唔難解決, 用翻有色loose powder/ bronzing powder tune翻深色少少就ok (點解我之前諗唔到??)!

(English:  This one is lighter than my skin tone.  No worries, the color could be fixed with some loose powder/ bronzing powder (errhhh…why didn’t I think of it earlier?).)

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 1 week

用 後感:  佢個texture真係好正!  推開覺得佢好薄同埋好貼, 一d都唔覺得太rich, 上面無chi lup lup既感覺, 反而覺得好light weight.  我當佢係foundation咁用, 搽完佢之後加少少loose powder個底妝就搞掂, 超方便.  我覺得佢係令面色變得更均勻, 同埋有光澤 (佢無閃粉既, 唔洗擔心), 搽完之後個感覺係自然得黎又有好氣色 – 掂!  佢遮瑕力唔算好強, 一般既紅, 佢係遮得唔錯.  黑眼圈黎講都遮到5成.  搽左佢之後毛孔都唔係好覺眼 – 正!  我呢幾日用佢發現佢有另一樣野好值得我讚, 就係佢好long-lasting呀!!  呢幾日天然又焗又熱, 佢都無好快溶掉, 反而last到成日wor – 呢點令我超surprise!  而家我日日返工都用佢,鍾意佢夠方便, 好用同埋價錢親民!!  推呀!!!  如果你有興趣, 就去counter玩下啦!

(English:  After-use Comment:  The texture is fabulous!  It’s really blendable, thin and it stays really close to skin!  It’s perfectly light-weight and it doesn’t add any burden to my skin at all.  I use it as a foundation.  I apply a bit of loose powder straightly after applying this bb base and the “foundation” is done – super convenient!  It evens out my skin tone and adds some radiance onto my skin (it doesn’t contain any shimmer – no worries).  It looks very natural on my skin – love it!  Its coverage is not that high (well, it’s bb cream!!), it covers general redness, 50% of the dark eye circles and most of the pores – not bad!!  Oh, another amazing about about this BB Base is that it’s really long-lasting.  It’s been really humid and hot here in HK, yet, it doesn’t melt away quickly….it stays on for most of the day!! What a nice surprise!!  Now I use it everyday for work – it’s convenient, with good quality and very reasonably priced!  Recommended!!  If you are interested, don’t forget to check out at the counters!!

哈哈…個故事未完.  因為呢個太好用既關係, 我好想同大家分享.  以下呢枝我會用黎做give away (呢隻色係original個隻, 即係for皮膚比較白既人).  點先可以拎佢返屋企?  咁就要留意密切留意我個Facebook Page喇!

(English:  Hahaha…this is not the end of the story!  Since it’s such a good product and I would love to share my joy with you, I will be giving the follow away (this is the original one, which means it’s more suitable for people with fair skin).  So, how could you take it back home?  Then you must pay attention to my Facebook Page in the coming days!!

我知係台灣, 呢隻bb base變左mousse版…唔知佢幾時黎香港呢?  好想試呀!!

(English:  BTW, I know they have a mousse version for this BB Base in Taiwan, I wonder when it will be reaching to HK!  Can’t wait to try…!!!)

先前講左Biore Makeup Remover for Eyes & Lips (回顧按此), 用完之後, 我就轉左用我之前入左貨既Maybelline Express Care Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover, 諗住睇下邊隻出色d.  唔經唔覺都就快用完枝Maybelline喇 (嘩, 我用呢d卸眼咀野既速度真係幾快, 個令月就清到一枝), 又係時候share下我既comments喇.

(English:  I talked about Biore Makeup Remover for Eyes & Lips before (refresh memory).  After finishing up, I switched to Maybelline Express Care Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover which I stocked up earlier, thinking it would be interesting to see which one is better.  Time flies and I have almost finished the bottle (well, I must admit that the speed for me to clear up this kind of removers is QUICK!), it’s time for me to share my comments with you all.)

Maybelline Express Care Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover

初初我見日本字, 仲以為係Made in Japan.  原來係日本配方, Made in China先真.

(English:  At first I thought it was Made in Japan due to the Japanese wordings on the bottle.  Later, I found out it should be “Formulated in Japan and Made in China”!)

價錢 (Price): HK$59/ 90ml

Product Information:

“瞬間卸除所有防水睫毛液及不脫色眼部及唇部彩妝,質地清爽!”

(English:  It removes every trace of waterproof mascara and long-lasting eye and lip makeup, non-greasy.)

Texture:

Close up:

佢都係分兩個layer, 用既時候搖混佢就得喇.

(English:  it’s seperated into two layers, just shake the bottle when you want to use it!  Shake it well!)

On cotton pad:

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 1 bottle

用 後感:  佢個texture唔算好油 (但係當然有油份啦), 抹上眼同咀既時候, 我唔覺得佢係油lup lup (太油真係怕呢d天氣會出油脂粒).  佢落眼妝真係幾快.  我d眼妝成日咁黑同埋防水防油, 用佢抹兩三下大部分都已經抹走sa, 係得眼線同mascara要用多少少時間 (都好正常, 因為個d位通常要小心d唔好咁大力).  佢除左落得快, 佢仲落得夠乾淨. 好大部分既mascara佢都落得好好, 唯一係Maybelline x Hello Kitty個隻要用多少少時間 (我無用MJ, 所以唔知落MJ要幾耐), 但係Hello Kitty個隻mascara本身係好long-lasting, 所以我都理解既.  落完之後, 過水唔覺得眼位油, 反而覺得少少清爽同埋皮膚幾滑下.  抵讚!!  如果同Biore個隻比, 我自己鍾意呢隻多d, 因為雖然大家清爽程度差唔多, 但係我就覺得Maybelline呢隻落得快d同埋乾淨d.  呢隻係貴過Biore個隻, 但係我都係推介呢隻多d.  如果你地想搵平價Eye & Lip Makeup Remover, 可以試下呢隻丫.  呢隻都會係我回購list當中.

(English:  After-use Comment:  The texture is definitely not greasy (but it does contain oil).  I don’t feel it’s greasy on skin when I rub it on my eye areas (which is good, as the weather is getting humid here, I don’t want anything too greasy on my eye areas in case there are spots coming out).  It removes eye makeup quickly.  For my eye makeup, usually it’s very dark in colors, and waterproof and oilproof, still after two or three wipes, majority of it is gone.  For mascara and eyeliner, a bit more time is needed (quite normal really, because you really have to take time to rub it off gently).  Apart from removing the makeup quickly, it also removes it thorougly.  It removes many mascaras nicely except the Maybelline x Hello Kitty one (I haven’t used MJ, so not sure how much time is needed).  For the Hello Kitty mascara, it stays on really well, therefore I am not surprised that it takes more time in taking it off.  After rinsing, I find my eye areas quite refreshed, not greasy and smooth!  Thumbs-up!  If I have to compare this one with the Biore one, I have to say I like Maybelline Express Care better.  Even though they are both non-greasy, the Maybelline’s removes eye makeup quicker and cleaner.  Maybelline’s is more expensive than Biore’s, but I ‘d still recommend Maybelline’s to you if you are looking for some eye & lip makeup remover with reasonable prices.  It has now been added to my “repurchasing list” !

P.S.  我之後會用咩呢?  就係我以前覺得好好用既Andrea Eye Q’s (咁而家覺得好唔好用呢?  遲少少再講).  好快應該都會用sa!  再之後, 我就會開Chanel枝Gentle Biphase Eye Makeup Remover (個friend話好好用, 等我睇下係咪先).

(English:  P.S.  What will I be using after?  It’s Andrea Eye Q’s which I found very good a couple years ago (not sure how I would feel now though, I will share later).  I should use that up in no time!  After that, I will be using Chanel Gentle Biphase Eye Makeup Remover because a friend highly recommends it (well…I will share later if I find it really that good)).

有無諗過一個click就可以做善事?  係咪諗緊, “咁易?  係唔係呀?”  係呀, 我頭先睇到Maybelline Facebook Page有個 Spread Your Maybelline Diamond Kisses 紐約慈善之吻既活動:

(English:  Have you ever thought of a click could indeed help those in need?  Well you must be thinking, “really?  Wouldn’t that be too easy?”  Right!  Sometimes it’s just that simple!  I just read on Maybelline Facebook Page that they have the Spread Your Maybelline Diamond Kisses program:)

咁點做善事呢?  好簡單, follow下面instruction就得喇:

(English:  So, how could you help those in need?  Very simple, just follow the two steps below:)

去 “like”/ “讚好” Maybelline Facebook Page
Click寫住”Kiss Your Friends”既黑底圓形logo

(English:
Go to Maybelline Facebook Page and click “like”
Click the black logo with “Kiss Your Friends” on

每 一個click, Maybelline就會捐出HK$0.5俾聯合國兒童基金會.  同時, 個地球上面既Diamond Kisses就會有New York慢慢碌過黎Hong Kong (我覺得呢part好得意), 咁當Diamond Kisses碌到過黎Hong Kong個時, Maybelline就會捐雙倍捐款俾聯合國兒童基金會, 即係HK$0.5變HK$1.00呀!!

(English:  Maybelline will donate HK$0.5 to UNICEF per each click (sounds good?).  At the same time, the Diamond Kisses on the earth will move from New York to HK (I quite like this part actually), so when the Diamond Kisses reach HK, Maybelline will turn its donation into a double, which means HK$1.00 per each click instead of HK$0.5!!  How wonderful!!

係咪好簡單呢?  快d去”click”啦!! 2011年2月28號就截止喇.  快d郁手啦.  同埋記得叫埋d friends去click呀!  等d Diamond Kisses可以快d碌黎HK!

(English:  Very simple eh?  Come on, go now and click since the deadline will be on Feb 28th, 2011.  Oh and remember to ask your friends to give a helping hand too, so the Diamond Kisses would reach HK faster!

唔只化妝可以令自己靚d, 做善事都可以ga!!

(English:  Not only makeup could make you look beautiful, helping others could make you feel beautiful inside too!!)

你地有無成日都覺得靚野無好野丫?  行行下街見到樣化妝品好靚, 就會諗, “都唔慌得啦, 個樣咁靚既野通常都唔得, 都係唔買喇…” 我都有試過咁既情況, 但係我又會諗, 如果得咪好開心lor, 又靚又好用, 拎出黎個下心情都靚d.  就好似呢枝mascara咁, 真係又靚又正, 仲要唔貴添呀, 係咪引死人呢?

(English:  Have you ever perceived that something that looks so nice on the outside won’t work as effective?  Sometimes, when we are wandering around and see something looks extra nice, we would thought to ourselves, “hmm…it might not work that well…pretty things always don’t work wonders…will pass on this…”  I have encountered similar situations as well but then I would think, “what if it works?”  IF it works, then I’d probably have a better mood using it too!  Just like the following mascara, it looks wonderful and is amazing.  The best part is its price is very friendly too!  Have I mentioned enough good points??)

Hello Kitty x Maybelline Volum’ Express Hypercurl Cat Eyes Mascara

價錢 (Price): HK$109

Open up:

黑色襯粉紅色真係幾靚, 有少少詭秘feel, 又夠女仔…枝野仲有好多隻Hello Kitty ga:

(English:  Black and pink!  NICE!  It is a bit mysterious but at the same time very girly.  And it has so many Helly Kitty on!!)

佢咁靚又咁醒神, 朝早用佢返工個日心情都靚d.

(English:  It looks really pretty…I am usually in a better mood after using it in the morning.)

The brush:

佢個掃係梳型…好耐無用過呢隻掃lu.

(English:  The brush looks like a comb…it’s been a long time since I use something similar.)

Effect on my eyelashes:

我都話屋企d燈光有問題啦, 明明我係搽左淺色eyeshado麻 (唔緊要, 好彩今次唔係eye makeup做主角).

(English:  My lighting has serious problem!  I have eye shadows on this picture but it doesn’t show up at all.  Well luckily eye makeup is not the focus for today!)

係咪好勁呢?  個效果似假眼睫毛呀!  我影呢張相個陣一隻眼搽左Kitty Mascara, 另一隻無搽.  我亞mama問我做咩唔”chi”埋另一邊假眼睫毛!

(English:  Amazing eh?  It looks like some fake lashes!  When I took this picture, I had Kitty Mascara on one eye’s lashes and I didn’t have anything on the other side.  My mom saw that and asked me why I didn’t use “a fake lash” on other eye. haha)

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 1 week

用後 感:  睇相都見個效果真係好唔錯.  又加長又加密, 仲要搽完d睫毛真係捲曲左唔少. 真係有”chi”左比較自然既假眼睫毛效果.  超開心.  我一向都係Maybelline mascara既fans, 我用親10枝有8枝都係Maybelline.  我咁鍾意用Maybelline係因為佢同我夾同埋價錢好親民.  今次仲要整枝咁鬼靚既, 越用越開心.  佢個description話佢防水防油, 我眼位唔係非常油, 所以唔敢講佢防油效果有幾強, 但係放水就真係一流, 一d都無熊貓眼.  讚呀!  呢枝mascara我覺得無論你係唔係Hello Kitty既fans都可以試下!!  又睇得又好用!!

(English:  After-use Comment:  Its effect is really nice!  It lengthens and adds volume at the same time.  Also, it curls up the lashes too!  It offers an effect similar to using a fake lash (those more natural looking ones).  I am super happy with this.  I have been a Maybelline mascara fans for long, 8 out of the 10 mascaras I use are from Maybelline.  I have been a long term fan mainly because it works well on me and the price is just so friendly!  And with this pretty-looking Kitty mascara, it just delivers more than it promises.  The description says it’s both oil-proof and water-proof.  My eye areas are not that oily, therefore, I am not going to comment on its oil-proof quality.  However, for the water-proof aspect, it’s definitely a thumbs-up!  I’d recommend this to you no matter you are a Hello Kitty fan or not.  It’s a great choice!)

Ohhh….去朗豪坊買set仲有個Maybelline x Hello Kitty Tote Bag添:

(English:  Ohhhhhh….go to Langham Place for the valuable packs, it comes with a Maybelline x Hello Kitty Tote Bag:)

如果你係Hello Kitty Fans就唔好錯過喇.
