How To Achieve Glass Skin With Problematic Skin?

Hi Huneybees,

The talk of the town these days is the K-beauty trend - Glass Skin. We are talking about achieving that perfectly smooth and intensely hydrated complexion with an all-over sheen, just like your window pane. It's a sign of healthy and youthfulness, which everyone is dying to have.

When I first saw pictures of the trend, I was thinking, "NO WAY! I have scars and acne, moreover with my eczema patch, there is no way I can achieve that look. Moreover, Singapore's sweltering hot weather will make me melt the moment I step out of the house!"

But being a beauty lover, how can I just give up that way? I tried ways and means to combine skincare with a little play-cheat makeup and I think I've got it. One thing I learned from this is that simply relying on makeup alone will not work, you need a consistent skincare routine, religiously following through with it and together with makeup, then you can show off your flawless skin. This is something that can't be achieved overnight, but patience my dears, in just days, you can see the difference!

Above is how I managed to achieve that Glass Skin look, I hope this helps you all with problematic skin troubles like me, in achieving that flawless looking skin. You can now cancel out those filter and beautifying effects on your smartphone cameras and app.

Products mentioned:

- Etude House Monster Micellar Cleansing Water - Shiseido Senka Perfect Double Wash - Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub - Pixi Glow Tonic - Pixi Rose Caviar Essence - It's Skin Power 10 Formula (YE Effector, VC Effector, GF Effector) - Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moist Eye Cream - Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack - Kanebo Evita Beauty Whip Soap - Pixi Glow Tonic To-Go Pad - Saborino Morning Mask - Ajuste Airy Touch UV Spray SPF50+ PA++++ Sunscreen - MKUP Illuminating Primer - Clio Super Sufur Kill Cover Conceal Cushion - Colourpop No Filter Concealer - The Face Shop Tone Up Cushion Trolls Edition - Maybelline Facestudio Master Contour V-Shape Duo Stick - e.l.f. Studio High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - Colourpop Crystal Liquid Highlighter (Aventurine) - NYX Makeup Setting Spray (Dewy Finish)

Remember to stay hydrated and drink more water too! 

Cheers to good skin!

Just gona keep 2 products in the surprise element...

For a sneak peek, I have with me the LAZADA x Garnier Surprise Box, inside you can find skincare products for not just the ladies, but also for the guys too! My favourite is definitely the Micellar Cleansing Water. It comes in Pink for all skin types and also a Blue one for Oily and Acne Prone skin.

If you don't already know, the Micellar Cleansing water is a hassle free makeup remover, where you don't even have to follow up with a second cleansing to remove the dirt. It works best for me as I have sensitive eyes, even the slightest product gets into my eye, will give me red eyes throughout the night; or for those times when you are super duper tired and you can't wait to just land straight into your bed, but sleeping with makeup on is bad!

That's when the Micellar Cleansing Water comes in. You just need your cotton pads, soak them up with the cleansing water, swipe a few of them till your face is rid of makeup (you can even do this whilst lying in bed), throw the pads away (or just cast them on the floor and clear them tomorrow morning) and head straight to bed. Easy peasy eh?

Of course, the products in the Surprise Box doesn't end there, as you can see from above pic, there are tons of skin caring products for you to use or even try out.

With just 2 more days to the Lazada GSS Sale, I suggest that you start browsing and making a wishlist of the items too, as there will be discounts up to 90% off, flash deals every 2 hours.

[Get The Look] Easy Steps To Adding Colour To Your Daily Makeup Look With New Products From Maybelline

Hi Huneybees,

Wana know how to achieve this look of mine? It's totally effortless and affordable. A clean almost nude look with a splash of pink eyeliner is just what I needed for a day out and here's the basic steps using Maybelline products!

Step 1: Primer - Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser is a translucent gel primer that promises soft, smooth, pore-free skin after use. It’s a basic primer to blur the appearance of pores and get your skin feeling “baby smooth” with a mattifiying finish and preps skin for foundation and BB Creams, creating a smooth canvas so that your makeup is able to glide on seamlessly. You can use the product as a finishing gel as well, the effects are more obvious too!

Step 2: Foundation - Maybelline Super Mineral 24 Healthy Long Lasting Foundation with Perlite 

This darling bottle of foundation had Mai Miyagi doing a spread in ViVi magazine June 2013 issue when it was released in Japan. Every girl was raving about it and I was glad to try it. I have been using this foundation everyday since. 

It's light, it lasts throughout the day by holding on to my powder and it's shade suits us Asian's perfectly. With its exclusive Micro-Mineral Perlite technology, it instantly traps excessive oil and sweat, leaving behind a velvety feel.

Step 3: Powder - Maybelline SUPER MINERAL 24 Two Way Cake Foundation

Nothing is as fun as bringing the Girl Power out in you. With the new Super Mineral 24 2 way Cake foundation, comes the limited edition covers that has a choice of either Catwoman or Batgirl on the cover. I was given the Catwoman one, which is just nice the character I prefer more.

This powder also contains Perlite and it sticks to my skin all day. For this instance though, I just lightly brushed on the powder o my face, to set the foundation and so that I won't perspire streaks of beige sweat in the middle of the day due to our warm weather...

Step 4: Eyebrow - Maybelline Fashion Brow Mascara 

These brow mascaras are currently my fav, as it makes my brow last throughout the day (don't you hate it when you rub and the brow that you drew is gone?). They come in 2 colors, Rusty Brown and Dark Brown. I'm using the Rusty Brown as I have recently lighten my hair colour.

One thing to love is the mascara wand. Not only is it easy to apply, the rounded tip also helps to build volume to the brow, best for those with thin brows. 

One tip when using brow mascara is to back swipe the brow, so that colours get in between the hairs and then brush lightly from inner corner outwards. Not only will this make your brows look fuller, you can also ensure that every strand is coated.

Step 5: Eyeliner - Maybelline Hyper Glossy Runway Pop Liquid Liner 

So once you have your nude skin colour eyeshadow on your whole lid, apply this metallic glossy eyeliner. It dries within seconds and totally smudge proof. I have the pink one one and in fact this season, blue is in and less flashy, you can give it a try too!

Step 6: Eyeliner - Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner

After the pink eyeliner, I still had a thin black line along my lashes. This trick is to make your lashes look fuller and also make the pink pop even more whilst, widening your eyes. So here, I'm using the new Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner.

What's special is that normal gel liners come in a pot with a brush, which is troublesome. So for this, you simply have to twist the knob at the back of the pen for some gel liner and you can either apply it directly or on the back of your hand before drawing your eyeline.

The black is intensive and what's amazing is before it really dries and set in, you can still smudge it. After which, the eyeline will stay intact. And what's best is that you can control the thick and thin of the line with the soft silicone pen tip.

So, there you have it! These are the simple steps to add a little colour to your daily makeup look. Simply finish it with some blushers and lip gloss, you are set to go! And at the end of the day, you have to try this new product to remove your makeup.

It removes makeup and cleanse your face in one easy step. Introducing the Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Oil-Gel. This unique 2-in-1 oil-gel remover & cleanser instantly dissolves stubborn & water-proof makeup while cleansing your skin at the same time with its Moringa seed extract - a super powerful purifier.

All I have to do is squeeze a 50c coin amount of the gel and rub it all over my face, the gel will slowly melt my makeup away and when you wash off, not only is the makeup removed, there is oily residue left behind! Totally time saving and especially useful for those who gets so tired at the end of the day, all you want is to sleep soon right? 

Hope this tutorial helps and looking forward to seeing more "colours"on the streets.
Thank you Maybelline for sending me the products!

[Tried & Tested] Go Bold or Nude With Maybelline

Hi Huneybees,

Are you Bold or Nude?

Introducing the all new lipsticks from Maybelline. Choose from both sides - BOLD & NUDE to suit your character. BOLD is brighter and more matte whereas NUDE is more glossy and add sweetness to your look. Which if more you?

For the BOLD range, I have the MAT 1-5 (Hot Pink, Sugar Pink, Cheeky Coral, Vivid Coral, Bold Red), each a strong colour and I'm loving it. This is definitely more my style, super match with my pink hair! This is a range for those who like to do light eye makeup and want to show off your lips.

From Top Left: MAT 1, MAT 2, Mat 3
From Bottom Left: MAT 4, MAT 5

Nice right? I feel so Nicki Minaj! My favourite from the range is MAT1 (Hot Pink).

For the NUDE range, I have the NE01 (Blush Beige), NE04 (Velvet Coral), NE05 (Nude Pink) and NE06 (Sheer Rose). The colours are not very bright, just a light sheer tinge to your lips, with a glossy effect. Highly recommend for those who focus more on their eye makeup.

Colour Swatch
From Left: NE01, NE04, NE05 and NE06

I have NE01 (Blush Beige) on. It's a soft pink tinge on my lips and I like how it sweetens the whole look, as sometimes with a full black eyeliner, I tend to look too fierce.

So which one are you?

BOLD or NUDE?
