Top Beauty Picks for Classes

Assalamualaikum


I would say that I have no makeup on most of the time. I wear depends on where I go, and when I feel like wearing them. Where I usually go is of course, campus. So, no makeup, well just sunscreen (obviously not a makeup) and my favourite Chanel compact powder (Johnson's baby powder, 90% of the time). Oh yes, and a Maybelline Lip Balm which I've been using since 2013 I think.

For sunscreen, I will alternate them based on my schedule. For example if I have straight classes from 8 am to 5 pm, I will use Dior. If I have class until 1pm, I will use Shiseido. This is because the one from Shiseido is  a waterproof sunscreen and I need makeup remover to clean it which is truly taking my time during my break time. Considering my break time (for lunch and pray*) is only 1 hour most of the time, I choose the Dior one since it's easy to be removed and not a waterproof sunscreen.

Review: NARS Oasis Blush

Assalamualaikum






Where To Buy: NARS Pavilion, Mid Valley, Gurney Plaza

Price: RM127

Nett Weight: 4.8mg

Shade: Oasis

Line: Permanent

What It Claims: Sparkling pink champagne. The ultimate authority in blush, NARS offers the industry's most iconic shades for cheeks. Natural, healthy-looking color that immediately enlivens the complexion. A light application of even the highest-intensity hues delivers a natural-looking flush. Silky texture in matte and shimmering shades. Micronized powder ensures soft, blendable application. Iconic NARS shades.

My review: This blush is defined by sparkling pink champagne. It did sound ‘good’ at first. So after few swatches on my cheek, I decided to buy it (my aunt belanja yayers!). I didn’t realize that this blush is a bit dark for me even though I blend it so well for 3 minutes? Maybe due to the lighting in NARS or maybe because I was too excited when someone paid it for me lol Anyway, on the bright side, I can save some amount of bronzer because it has this slightly bronzing effect on my cheek. The formulation of this blush is a powder type and has shimmery glitters. So extra work on blending is needed to make it nicely blended. Overall, this product, particularly this shade is a so-so for me. I am looking forward to try NARS Multiple. Oh how I wish they could widen their wings in Johore. Here, I attached the new price list of NARS products inclusive GST.
