The Maybelline Pore Eraser primer is said to be a dupe for the famous Benefit Porefessional Primer. Now I don't own or ever used the Porefessional Primer, so I can't give you a comparison review. So today, we'll only talk about Maybelline's.

I am finally sitting down here to talk about almost everyone's holy grail, the infamous Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper! It has been a craze for makeup junkie and I have used it enough to understand why.

Hey there! Thought I would share what I always bring if I ever need to touch up my makeup after prayer when I'm out or at work. I usually will not redo a full face makeup because ain't nobody got time for that, so the products that I'll bring are only the essentials for that natural no makeup makeup look.

1. Makeup remover wipes


Girls, please please please take off all of your makeup before you take your wudhu. I don't think I should explain why. Looove this one by Biore so much. It literally takes off everything, even the most stubborn waterproof mascara! The cloths are so smooth and very saturated with makeup remover. I take less time to remove everything when I use this compared to any other makeup wipes. I don't even know how many packets of this I've been through lol.

2. Pixy Powder Foundation



Typically I won't bother about foundations and just go straight to blush for my face when doing reapplication, but when I do want a little bit of something, a little bit of evening of the skin tone, I always opt for this Pixy powder foundation as they are easier and faster to use. Plus, it already comes with a mirror so I don't have to carry a separate pocket mirror.

3. Blush

Mini blushes like this one from tarte their trial kit is very convenient to travel with. They're so tiny but a little bit goes a long way I have no idea when will I be able to hit pan because I literally have been using it every single day, and obviously you can still see the craving on the surface of the blush. Amazing. And to apply that I bring along my usual powder brush as a blush brush haha.

4. Highlighter



Highlighters usually comes in a huge pan, so this one by Colorpop is so good to carry around because they're stored in a small twist up container. Another reason why I love carrying this for touch ups is because the texture is like a cream to powder highlighter so I can just use my finger to apply and not worrying about carrying a highlight brush.

5. Eyebrow pencil



Having your eyebrows done can make a huge difference when you're not wearing a lot of makeup. I love to use this one by silkygirl because they're super easy to use, and it even comes with a spoolie! Everything you need in a stick. The pencil is pigmented and super blendable, basically the best eyebrow pencil from the drugstore.

6. Mascara



I usually bring along my Tarte mini mascara, but lately I've been loving Silkygirl's Lash Prism mascara so much. It is the only mascara in my collection that won't smudge or budge even when I cry or sweat. I wore this for a night marathon and oh my god, it my lashes stay on fleek at the end of the night with no clumps of mascara fallout at all! When you're not wearing a full face makeup, you want to draw people's attention to your eyes instead of all those pigmentations or acne on your face. So mascara is important! Unless if you're already blessed with thick and long lashes, you do you.

7. Lip balm and lipstick




These duos. I won't ever put a lipstick on a dry lips so it's important for me to carry around a lip balm because I naturally have very dry lips. Favourite lip balm would be this one by in2it. Very moisturizing and it even has SPF20! For the lipstick, I just bring whatever lipstick I'm wearing on that day. But the one that has been my go to everyday lip color is Silkygirl's matte junkie in the color 01 Retro. Another Silkygirl yea, I just love Silkygirl.

And that completes it. Don't underestimate my small Sephora makeup pouch, it really can carry a ton! What is your essentials for touch up? Leave a comment down below!

Hello again! Let's just get straight to the point. This product is just an okay cleanser for me and here are the reasons why.

1. Senka Perfect Watery Oil

To me it is a great basic makeup remover oil that works just the same as the Biore Mild Cleansing Liquid that I often use. Like, really, really similar. The only differences that I notice is that this one by Senka is a little bit thinner in consistency than the Biore one. So it takes less time to rinse off, and, it's just a couple ringgits more expensive, so I would stick with Biore.

2. NYX Be Gone Makeup Remover Wipes

I bought this on a whim because I ran out of my usual makeup wipes from Biore. Meh, I don't really like it. It's good if you just want to remove a light makeup, without the heavy duty mascara. To me personally the cloths are a bit rough in texture and not very saturated with makeup remover. I am comparing it to the Biore one though which is my HG makeup wipes. So it's just like any other drugstore makeup wipes that I've tried, great for everyday use, but nothing too special.

3. Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream With 7 Complex

One of the best moisturizers that I have tried. This is actually a deluxe sample size that I got as a gift from Sephora a while back. Very very moisturizing but it does not make my skin super oily or anything. I do use it only at night time because I was using other moisturizer for day time. Whenever I put this on the night before, I would always wake up with a glowy, brightened skin. Does not cause any breakout or clogged pores whatsoever. Will totally repurchase if I ever become rich lol this dude is expensive!

4. Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel

I have a whole post dedicated to this guy. You can read it here. Overall it is an amazing cleanser, did wonders for my skin. It helped to clear my skin in the most gentle way. Will repurchase!

5. Skin & Lab Dr. Color Effect Red Serum

The best serum I have ever tried for hyperpigmentation and scarring. The fading takes time especially for older marks, but it totally works. Already on my second bottle and will keep repurchasing! I would highly recommend this over OST C20 or C21 vitamin C serums if you want to brighten up your scars because you don't have to worry about keeping it in the fridge to prolong the shelf life. The ingredients are a lot more stable.  Full review here.

6. Rire Lucent White Pearl Cream

Another K-Beauty! I did enjoy this moisturizer a lot, but probably will not repurchase. It did great for my skin, but nothing too amazing to the point where I can't live without it or anything. And simply because I prefer something quicker and easier to apply. Read more about it here.

I am pretty sure this product is no strangers to you. Literally every beauty blogger and vlogger rave about it. So as soon as our local drugstore brought this product in, I knew I have to get my hands on them. Getting them was a struggle at first, it was sold out everywhere. Malaysia only carry in 2 shades ; Light and Medium. I managed to get both to try out. This product retails at RM34+ at the drugstores.

If you're into K-Beauty, I bet this product won't be a stranger to you. It has been raved about by sooooo many Korean youtubers, bloggers, and celebrities. This beauty water is doubles up as a cleansing water and a moisturizing toner. So you're really saving a buck.


I love the packaging so much. Very sleek and simple, it makes the product looks a little fancy. Well, it is a little expensive, lol. Thank goodness I got it for free from Althea contest once. Hehe Thank you Althea! I mean, if it were not because of them, I'd never spend myself more than RM100+ for a toner hehe. Not while I am still a student. It comes with 340ml product in a see through screw cap bottle. Though, this toner is packed with beautiful natural ingredients such as rose water, lavender water, coconut, and fruit extract that are very beneficial for the skin. So, ya know you're getting high quality product for such price.


Be careful when pouring this out, as the name suggest, it is very watery, but the opening is quite large. When I first used it I jerk the bottle a little bit, thinking the opener will dispense the product out drop by drop. I ended up with beauty water all over my lap, lol. Learned the lesson! Make sure you tilt the bottle just a little bit and let the liquid to pour out onto your cotton pad.


This beauty water is aweeeesome as a makeup remover. It works just like your ordinary micellar water. It really removes my stubborn waterproof mascara, liquid lipsticks you name it! just one swipe, and viola! But if you're buying this only as a makeup remover is like...why u so extra, haha just go and buy garnier or simple's micellar water lah, works just the same. I personally LOVE this as a toner. After I cleanse my skin, I'll just take this with a cotton pad and wipe it all around my face, neck, behind the neck, and behind the ears. It feels so refreshing, and moisturizing. Since I don't use my clarisonic on my neck, and my cleanser alone is not enough to clean any foundation traces on the neck area, this beauty water will clean the excess makeup there like a breeze.

There's really not much to say about this product, it does the job that a regular moisturizing toner should do. Will I repurchase? Maaaybe. But personally, for my acne prone skin, I'd prefer my Eucerin Dermopurifyer a lot more because that toner is da bomb in preventing acne. This toner is great for cleansing and adding some moisturization to your skin, so it's great for everybody. If you need a little bit of help with acne or pigmentation, try something with a little bit of exfoliation instead such as salicylic acid.
