This is not a new, but the most recent collaboration from Too Faced and Kat Von D. I have no idea why it took so long for me to do a review on this palette lol. But it is still available in Sephora if you want to get it. Anyway, better late than never, right?


The Ultimate Eye Collection comes with two eyeshadow palettes, a mascara and an eyeliner. The palettes are actually attached by a magnet, so you can separate them and bring each palette on their own to travel if you wish to.



I'll start with the Too Faced side. This palette comes with 6 shades which I think are very wearable on a daily basis. However, the matte shades are very disappointing to be honest. There is literally no pigment especially for the shade 'lovely'. I was quite excited seeing a pink shade on this palette because I do not own any pigmented pink eyeshadow yet, but yeah. The shade BFF is supposed to be a creamy shade, but it appears a bit white when swatched. here are the swatches of Too Faced palette.


I have no complaints with the shimmery and glittery shades, they are smooth and easy to blend, but there is no color that I am obsessed with. They're wearable.




I have to give the trophy to Kat Von D when it comes to the eyeshadow palette. Kat Von D's eyeshadows formula is a lot more buttery and super pigmented. I cannot get over the shade 'swoon'. It is absolutely stunning! It is not available on any other Kat Von D palettes unfortunately so you have to buy this whole collection even if that's the only shade you're loving lol. But seriously, that red color is so gorgeous and speaks on its own. Imagine layering it under an eyeshadow primer.


The mattes are pretty pigmented, but a little chalky. Just a little, I can still work with them. But honestly, who needs a white eyeshadow? How I wish she had replaced that white with a shade that would compliment a smokey look like purple or plum.


This collection comes with full size of cult products from both brands, which are the Better Than Sex mascara from Too Faced, and the very infamous Tattoo Liner from Kat Von D. I totally love both of the products and already did reviews on them a while back if you're curious about them.


Overall, for RM280, this collection isn't necessarily affordable, but it is not bad. If you're buying the mascara and the eyeliner separately, you are basically paying RM91 for 12 eyeshadows. That's pretty cheap and you get two palettes that will complete a day and night look. It will be great gift idea too. What's best is that this collaboration is totally cruelty free. I actually got this for a present from my boyfriend. Thank you love!

Biore is definitely one of my favorite drugstore skincare brands, hands down. They have an array of good quality products that are beyond worth it for the price you pay. Today, I'll talk about my new favorite sunscreen, the one and only Aqua Rich Watery Essence! This product is a number one selling sunscreen in Japan, believe it or not. I bought it out of curiosity for the hype it gets.

I have tried the older version of this sunscreen, which comes in a plain baby blue tube packaging. I didn't love the old one that much. I can't remember exactly why, but I think it was because it broke me out. But that was wayyy back in high school and I heard they have changed the formula.




The UV filter is exactly the same as the old version, which is SPF50+ with PA++++. You can look it up on Google of what that means. It would require me a whole new blog post to make you understand about all of these terms for sunscreen. However I can tell you for sure, that protection wise, it is very good for both UVA and UVB rays.

The product comes out as a pale yellow liquidy gel. It is not too thick or too thin, but have a slight citrus scent to it. I am not sure whether the scent is natural or additional fragrance is added. But usually my skin is pretty sensitive to products with added fragrance but it is reacting fine with this one. So yay for that!




It is a little bit cooling to the touch, but I guess that's because it got shiz tons of alcohol content in the ingredient list. I'm just gonna pretend that I'm not aware of that because this product does moisturize my skin a little despite the alcohol content. It is a MUST to wear sunscreen everyday, but I was always slacking because of a lot of sunscreen textures being too sticky or greasy. I have absolutely no problems with this one. It spreads as water like gel and absorbs into the skin completely, leaving a matte finish. I love it so much!

It does not make my skin oily throughout the day. But, I don't think it protects my skin from tanning as good as the Biore UV Perfect Face Milk Sunscreen. I went to a water park with this on and got some tanning afterwards. I mean..pfft. It's water based anyway. I'd say it is a very good everyday sunscreen, but if you're looking for something that will be really sweat and waterproof, go for the milk sunscreen.

Pros :
  • Affordable
  • Very light
  • Non sticky or greasy
  • Absorbs easily
  • Moisturizes the skin
  • Doesn't break me out
  • High SPF and PA protection

 Cons :

  • Not waterproof
