Soap & Glory Crazy Sexy Kohl Review

I saw this on the Boots website after Xmas while I was in London and seeing that it was on sale at half off, I just had to have it! So off I went to the nearest Boots outlet the very next morning and was thankful to have been able to snag one of the last few tins of the Crazy Sexy Kohl left on the shelf (and boy, were they going fast!!!).

Soap & Glory's Crazy Sexy Kohl is a set of 5 different colored kohl pencils (black, brown, blue, purple and green) packaged in an eyeliner pencil box, or to be more accurate, tin. 

I wanted to try the Smoulder Kohl before this but the normal retail price of £5 each too much to pay for a product that I wasn't sure if it was going to work out for me given my oily skin condition. However, at the half off price of £7 for the entire tin, each pencil costs around RM10, making the kit a steal, if you ask me. 

As it normally goes with me, I use my eyeliners up one by one and I have only tried using one of the Smoulder Kohls which is the Superblack one. I have read great reviews about this product and was interested in finding out how it would perform on my super oily skin in a super humid climate.

It goes on well and have been often compared to Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliners by other reviewers in the blogosphere. It is super creamy and smooth and goes on without any tugging or pulling. The color payoff is also great.

When I first applied it on my lids, the color smudged and transfered onto my crease by the end of the day. I had to touch up at about lunch time as I didn't want it to look seriously like smoky eyes.

When applied on my waterline, the color lasted for about an hour and a half before travelling down to the skin beneath my lower lashes. Hmmm....I really wanted this product to work for me....

Determined to make it work, I later tried applying this eyeliner to my lids and then smudging it out with an eyeliner brush and it worked! This method makes the product last on my super oily eyelids for the entire day. Yay!

I love this product.

Empties | January 2016

These are my January empties:

1. Tesco Loves Baby | 30 Gentle Baby Wipes 

I use these as makeup remover wipes.

2. St Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Wash | 400 ml

Love the smell and it's paraben free!

3. Rimmel Gentle Eye Make Up Remover | 125 ml

I've had this for years. It's an okay product, not really great at removing waterproof eye makeup though.

4. Daiso Silk Facial Oil Blotters

A must have in my handbag (especially in this hot and humid weather).

5. Tesco Everyday Value | Facial Cotton Pads | 100 pieces

Does the job, love the price.

Getting to the Annoying Last Drops of My Foundation

I'm coming to the end of my foundation and it's driving me insane knowing that there is still a fair bit more amount of product left in the pump bottle. I'm so going to try to get to every last bit that I can (yup, I'm like that!)

Starbucks 2016 The Year of the Monkey Chinese New Year Edition Card

Remember the Anna Sui Starbucks card that I was lusting after not very long ago (read about it here)? 

Well, I finally dragged myself down to the Starbucks around the corner and saw the card in life and decided that it looked prettier on the web than in real life (I know, I know.... it's kinda difficult to explain it, but seeing it for myself in real life, it just didn't seem as appealing to me). 

The 2016 Year of the Monkey Chinese New Year edition card which was displayed next to the Anna Sui card looked more vibrant and appealing to me and I decided to purchase it instead. It's cuter and makes a nice souvenir. This card comes uploaded with RM30 value as opposed to the Anna Sui card which is uploaded with RM50 value (Why the price difference? Go figure!).
