Tarte Tarteist Double Take Eyeliner

Hi Beauties!

Let's talk about eyeliner. I bet everyone will have something that they would grab on a daily basis, right? Well for me, I will usually keep an eyeliner close to me as I believe I look better with eyeliner than without. There was a time where I would just put on mascara without eyeliner and I looked like I just woke up. Mascara alone don't do much justice for my short and too straight lashes, but that will be a story for another time.

I started wearing eyeliner as early as 13 years old. I love eyeliner so much but back then, I don't have the means to buy eyeliners from Sephora. All I used was either the really cheap pencils with no brand or those in Watsons (our local drug store).

Moving on, we shall discuss about Tarte Tarteist Double Take Eyeliner.

I have a Love-and-Hate relationship with this eyeliner yet on a daily basis, I would gladly take this eyeliner over other liners that I owned. This eyeliner is a 2-in-1 product. One side is a liquid and the other is a gel pencil. Below is how the product looks like without covers.

As you can see from the picture above, one side is a felt-tip brush applicator. Even though it is a brush applicator, not to worry. I know you would be thinking "will it be too flexible?" or "brush tip is usually soft." This brush tip is stiff whereby you can actually draw your precise wing. It glides easily and it draws a little glossy but dries off as matte. It is very pigmented just the way I love it. I personally prefer those very pigmented liquid eyeliners that won't fade off after a few hours of application and this is definitely one of them. This liquid side lasted the whole day. The only downside of this liquid eyeliner is that at times, it will smudge on my lower lash line.

The other side is an Amazonian Clay infused gel pencil. On days when I wish to have a wing liner but I don't want it looking so harsh, I would use this gel pencil and smudge it a little with a pencil brush to get that smokey effect. I would also use this for my waterline or tightlining my upper lash line. I won't say it is waterproof for this product as it is not. Whenever I use this gel liner on my waterline, it will be gone after a few hours. Thus, reapplying them over and over again to cover the missing areas. This is a small matter to me as I don't really draw my waterline often.

This is how I always draw my eyeliner. I love drawing my wing. I do have hacks on how to draw your wing. One of these days, I will share it in a video. As for now, I won't be able to take any videos as I lost my DSLR battery charger. Please wait for it. 😭

This is one of my best look with this eyeliner. As you can see, I had my wing liner drawn and I also use it on my waterline but part of it is gone once it my eyes start to watered a little.

This product retails at $37 SGD in our local Sephora. It is Vegan and cruelty free. It comes in Black, Brown, Bronze and White Gold. For Black and Brown, you can be sure that both sides are the same colour. However for Bronze and White Gold, the liquid side is black while the gel will be the either Bronze or White Gold. In future, this would be really convenient for travelling as you don't need that many products to bring and just bring White Gold. You can use the Black Liquid Eyeliner and draw a wing while you can use White Gold on your waterline to make your eyes appear bigger. As for me, I have naturally big eyes. So I would draw half black for my waterline and the other half would be White Gold to brighten the inner corner of my eyes. But those are my personal preference.


With this, I shall end it here.
I hope to see you in my next post!

Nudestix Magnetic Nude Glimmer, Matte Blush, Tinted Blur Stick and Intense Matte Lip and Cheek Pencil

Hi there Beauties!

Today let's discuss 4 things from Nudestix. I'm such a fan of Nudestix because it is so easy to use on a rushing day to work. If my friend didn't actually recommend me this brand, I will forever be living in the dark unaware of how simple and easy to use this brand's products. As you know, Nudestix has always been in the motto of being a Multi-Tasking product. Almost all of their products you can use them anywhere. Below I will explain more on the products individually.

1. Magnetic Nude Glimmer

If you're the type of person who loves nude yet you want a little glam, then this is for you. If you're the type who wants a foiled look, then you need to do extra steps to get your desired strong foiled look. Like what Nudestix would say "More Than A Glow, Less Than A Glitter."

This product retails at $42 SGD in Sephora. It comes in a tube and a doe foot applicator. It has 3 shades; 24K Goddess, 99% Angel and Bronzi Babe. This product will give you that nude glam which is appropriate for your everyday look. You can use it on your eyelids as a foiled eyeshadow look, as a highlight to your brow bones, cheeks and inner eyes to make that eyes pop! Not forgetting your cubit bow, your nose bridge and also your collarbone.

If you want a foiled eye look, all you have to do is swipe the product across the lids and let it dry without blending. It will be very pigmented. Once it is dry, it is budge-proof. You don't need to worry about your eye look fading off after hours later of application.

2. Matte Blush in Sunset Strip

If you have been loving their Matte Blush, I guarantee you, you would love this shade too. This shade is called Sunset Strip. It states on our Sephora App that it is limited edition. I would suggest you try and get them before it stops production. Sunset Strip retails at $45 SGD in Sephora and has 7g of product. I've tried all of the blushes shade and I owned Naughty N' Spice and I've got to say that among all, Sunset Strip is by far the brightest and also the boldest among all the other shade.

If you're fair like me and you just want a blush that looks very natural, you swipe or dot a bit of the product on your cheeks and blend it with either your finger or a brush provided at the other side of the product. It will give you that natural flush. Like all their other Matte Blush, you can use this on your eyelids for that pop of colours on your eyelid and also your lips too. This product is so versatile, you can use it everywhere. If you worry about the product not lasting the whole day, here's a tip for you. You can use your setting powder and set the whole face after you are done with all the liquid and cream products for your face. That way, the blush will stay all day without a worry.

 3. Tinted Blur Stick

Have you ever felt so lazy to do your face yet at the same time you're not confident with your skin due to redness, ezcema and uneven skin tone? Well, this product is for you. This product is NOT a foundation. This is a skincare that even out our skintone to even all redness and uneven tones. I have sensitive and eczema prone skin and this Tinted Blur Stick doesn't irritate my skin at all. Want to know why? Because it have "Non-drying Coco and Green Tea emollients". What are these for, you ask? They are a type of moisturizer that works very well for sensitive skin. It holds moisture to your skin without making your skin irritated. Medically, it is used for people who suffers from eczema and itchy dry patches (called Psoriasis). Who doesn't like a skincare in their daily routine right?

This product retails at $45 SGD in Sephora and it holds 6.116g of product.
If you're the type who is used to using liquid foundation on a daily basis, this product will run you dry pretty quickly. My advice would be sticking to your liquid foundation for the base and use a deeper shade for contouring.

4. Intense Matte Lip & Cheek Pencil

Their Lip and Cheek Pencil is one of my favourites. I have a few of the pencils that I've been loving so much as it is not drying and you can use it for your cheeks, lips and eyelids too. This pencil is similar to the Matte Blush or Bronzer but the only difference is that you can use the pencil to sculp your lips and mix it with other shades. It is not kissproof. It will stain any cups or straws that you use. It is long wearing even though it is not budgeproof.

With this, I will drop a link below to show you how I used the products mentioned above.
