Review: Pilot Kakuno Pen (Fine Nib)

Along with my interest in bullet journals comes my renewed love for all sorts of pens. I purchased this pen awhile back when I saw it in Borders.

This fountain pen has the same nib as the Pilot Metropolitan but it comes at a cheaper price (score!). It was made for children but in this grey colour, it doesn't look so kiddle-like to me. The fine nib is really nice to write with in my bujo where I want fine lines which prevents ghosting on the page.

The pack comes with an ink cartridge and the one that I got is in fine nib.

I simply adore the detail on the nib --- it has a smiley face!

Review: Essence All About Roses Eyeshadow Palette

I mulled over this purchase for the longest time as I wasn't sure if the colors would be pigmented enough to show on my skin.  I finally gave in and purchased it when I was in Watsons in Mid Valley a few months ago. I figured that it is the ideal size of eyeshadow palette to have in my tiny makeup bag when I'm on the move.

I'm happy to say that I'm glad that I made this purchase. The colors are neutral on my skin. I find the texture soft and easy to blend. I tend to use the matte colors more since I wear these eyeshadows to work. I apply these eyeshadows over the Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base and have no problem with the lasting power of these eyeshadows.

This palette also didn't break the bank. This is a good buy. Love!

Empties | May 2017

These are the products that I finished in May 2017:
1. Loreal Touche Magique Concealer
I've had this product for ages. It's no longer in production now.

2. Cetaphil | 500 ml | Made in Canada
This is a gentle facial cleaner and a must have product for me. It doesn't irritate nor dry out my skin.

3. Catrice Mat Foundation | 30ml | Made in Poland
Love this product. Unfortunately, it's not possible for me to purchase this shade anymore :(

4. Timotei Nutrition Intense Repair Shampoo | 400 ml | Made in .... hmmmm.......doesn't say on the packaging!
This product does what a shampoo is supposed to do, I guess.

Review: Catrice Prime and Fine Pore Refining Anti-Shine Base

The Catrice Prime and Fine Pore Refining Anti-Shine Base is supposed to be a primer designed for oily skin.

This product, unfortunately, did not work on my super oily skin ;/

It goes on feeling like a moisturiser. It doesn't take long before my face gets super oily.

Certainly NOT a recommended product :(

Empties | April 2017

I only finished two products in April.

1. Oxy Oil Control Moisturiser | 45g | Made in China
This worked well on my skin. It wasn't oily.

2. St Ives Exfoliating Apricot Body Wash Gel | 400 ml | Made in U.S.A.
This was good. It contains 100% natural jojoba beads, smells good and more importantly, this product is not tested on animals.

3. Tesco Loves Baby | Baby Wipes | 30 Sheets | Made in Malaysia
I use this as makeup remover wipes and it does the job.
