A disclaimer before we start, I have included links as to where you can get them online. The prices stated are according to these websites, which are cheaper than getting it in stores (e.g. Sephora). From what I know, these websites are credible as many have purchased from them before. If you are still unsure, you may read their FAQs and do some research of your own. However, do note that the beauty bunny will not be liable for any lost/missing products! :-)
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get started!
1. Averine's Satin Smooth Foundation
Where to get this? All Aster Spring/Leonard Drake outlets (Online link here)
How much? USD $41 (Online) SGD $68 (In-store)
I love this foundation because it doesn't break me out since I do have acne-prone skin. Although the texture is more of a creamy consistency, it still feels very lightweight on my skin, which I'm very particular about. I really hate products which make my skin feel heavy and oily. The coverage of this foundation is quite light, so I wouldn't recommend it if you like full coverage foundations. Also, the price is quite high, but I do like it just for the texture and its non-comedogenic formula. Pssst, this means that it doesn't block your pores!
2. Bioderma Photoderm MAX Solaire Ultra-Fluide SPF 50+
Where to get this? Loke Skin Clinic at Novena Medical Centre #09-13
How much? Unknown, so sorry!
I think I went crazy trying to look for this product and it's pricing online. There are so many different variations of this product, and I'm just so confused? There's tinted ones, non-tinted ones, as well as ones catered to different skin types and texture. Anyway, I got mine from my dermatologist. I do recommend getting it there as well, because they sell it cheaper compared to stores outside, but I just can't find the price. If I'm not wrong, it's around $30+, but I can't be too sure.
From what you now know, I'm really particular about a product's texture, especially if I'm putting it on my face. This product is perfect because it acts as a base for my foundation, keeps my face moisturised, AND it doesn't feel greasy on my skin. It's almost magic, I love this product so so much!
3. Benefit's High Beam
Where to get this? Sephora, Benefit counters (Online link here)
How much? SGD $37 (Online) SGD $42 (In-store)
I actually got this as one of my birthday presents from my mum, and she bought this from Sephora at $40+. This product acts as a highlight, so I use it on the bridge of my nose, cheekbones, my chin, forehead, and near the sides of my nose nearing the apples of my cheeks. Basically, anywhere that light hits your face first. This instantly gives you a natural glow, providing more dimension to your face. I especially love using it on my nose, it makes it appear so much sharper! Ladies, try using a highlighter on the bridge of your nose. It could even be some pearly white eyeshadow, so do give it a try!
4. Dermablend Cover Creme
Where to get this? Ariva (Online link here)
How much? USD $49.60
I personally got this from Ariva myself, and mine totalled up to be around SGD $60+ that time I got it. I use this as my daily concealer, because my previous one ran out and I was left with this. Initially I got this as a way of trying to cover a spot of mine that is stark white because there's no pigmentation. Also known as vitiligo, but my case is very very mild. But I just grew lazy and couldn't care less any more.
Now, this is an industrial strength concealer, so it has very high coverage. (Supposedly) It's used to even hide tattoos and birthmarks. So yes, it's very thick. Would only recommend this to people who think that they need a very very high coverage concealer.
5. Essence fix&matte! Translucent Loose Powder
Where to get this? Selected Watsons outlets
How much? SGD $7.60
Guys, just look at the price. SO cheap! Essence was the precious gem I found while looking around Ngee Ann City's Watsons a few years ago. Their range of products are all so cheap, and the quality isn't too bad as well. So happy that Essence can be found at more Watsons outlets now, including Causeway Point.
I got this at the Ngee Ann City outlet, and I use it to set my foundation to prevent it from looking oily and it also helps to make my foundation last longer. For the insanely cheap price, I really have no complains about it. Only thing is, because it is a loose powder, I keep making such a huge mess and I always feel like I'm going to drop the whole thing. (I'm really clumsy) Also! Essence is really rising in popularity, so the stocks run out really fast. -______- So check the store often to see if they have it!
6. L'oreal Wear Infinite Eyeshadow in 830 Deep Mocha
Where to get this? Not available in SG (Online link here)
How much? Less than USD $15
My mum got this for me when she was in US, so unfortunately, it's unavailable in Singapore. However, I did find a few sellers on Amazon who shipped internationally, so you can go take a look if you're really keen! I'm not too sure how much shipping is, though. I actually use this eyeshadow more for my eyebrows haha! I use a angled eyeliner brush to fill my brows in with this to make it appear fuller and cover those annoying sparse spots. It's a very versatile product, because the intensity is buildable. So apply more if you need it to be darker! But, since it's for my brows, the initial intensity is perfect.
7. Etude House Dear Darling Lip Tint in #04 Vampire Red
Where to get this? All Etude House Stores
How much? SGD $8.90
Out of all the products I've listed, I probably love this the most. It's a very dark berry colour, which I love. Before discovering this product, I was on the hunt for this exact shade. I love lip tints because it lasts on your lips for a really long time as compared to lipsticks and glosses. The only bad thing is if you have dry lips, using stains will just bring attention to the peeling and make it look very unflattering. So always moisturise your lips before applying a lip stain!
That's it! My holy grail products that I use everyday. I hope you found this post helpful or interesting in some way, please leave a comment if you did! I would be really happy to know that my effort was appreciated HAHA. Subscribe to our mailing list if you haven't already! ;-)
