Of all the foundations I’ve used, I’d say the ones I use the least are powder foundations and cream compacts. Powdered ones are mainly due to their inconvenience of having the powder go everywhere and cream compacts because they’re usually quite thick and can look cakey on the skin.

When Clinique’s Moisture Surge CC Cream Compact landed on my desk for review, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it to be honest. Yes I’d love to try it given that I’ve not tried their CC cream that comes in a tube but I had to wonder how this would make my skin look. Would it look unnatural on my skin? Would the cream foundation settle into my fine lines, especially around my nose and making the area look cakey?

Thankfully, it was quite the contrary. I like it, I really do!

The first time I saw the Lip Product Addict Tag was the video by my favourite beauty YouTubers Essiebutton and Amelia Liana. This tag was their creation and it’s no wonder because they’re such big lippie addicts (let’s just say lots of enabling have happened). Since I do a Read My Lips post almost every weekend, I thought I’d give this tag a go too!

I don’t do tags often but it looks quite fun. Plus I do have quite the stash of lip products. 😉

I’ve been very curious about that eyebrow pen for as long as I’ve watched her videos but I can’t get SUQQU in Australia so that’s a notion I had to give up.

But not for long! Luckily I remembered about the Eyebrow Liquid Pen when I was in Japan so I made sure to pick one up. It comes in 2 shades, Moss Green and Brown. Initially I didn’t know the name of the colours nor which shade suited me so I checked with the sales assistant. I chose the one with the darker shade that leaned closer to charcoal grey that suited my hair colour (the other one is a slightly lighter brown). When I asked her what shade the darker one was, she said it was Moss Green. I know! Green for eyebrows?!
