Reviews: Revlon Total Face Cream and Urban Decay Lipstick

Hi dolls! My sincere apology for the lack of posts lately, my schedule has been crazy! But I'm glad to be back. I promised to put up review posts on some new products I acquired last month. So here are two of them: 1. Revlon Total Control Face Cream This cream actually works to an extent. I haven’t used it so many times but it does control oil as it says on the pack. However, my face tends to be extremely oily most times; so it’s very difficult to find a product that actually controls oil for a long period of time. I would say this product is fair enough, and for the price as well, not so bad! It kept my face matte for about 3-4 hours or there about. That’s pretty decent considering how oily my face can be. Contains SPF 8 which...

Just In!

Hi dolls! As you all know, I’m forever buying makeup so I’m very excited to be doing this post. This time however, these items were sent to me by the famous Konga.com! I was over joyed when I learnt I was getting them for free! (Keep buying! You just might be lucky. lol) Anyway, I was sent four items, 2 of which I find quite interesting and you'll know why in a bit 1. Urban Decay Lipstick in Gravity I've never tried any lipstick from the Urban Decay range so I was glad I got this. As seen below, I have already used the product and it's been good so far, but I'll do a proper review on it and the other products in a separate post. Urban Decay Lipstick - Gravity 2. Revlon Total Control Face Cream    I'm very...

LBD!

Hi dolls! Thanks to Jibbi, I went to Indigo's boutique sometime last month and picked up this gorgeous black peplum dress. I'm not really into peplum dresses but I do have a few peplum tops. However, this dress doesn't come in the regular pelum style that cuts round the waist, it cuts one third on each side leaving the middle one third plain. Different right?  It also has a slightly-low back cut and the V-cut in front accentuates the bust area! (Perfect for those of us who aren't so blessed in that region, LOL) The material is gorgeous and scrupled, and the length makes it even perfect! Here's how I rocked it          Dress- Indigo          Shoes-...
