Hi folks,

I’m finally back from my month in Malaysia! Oh what a month it’s been. Family reunions, catching up with dear friends again, eating … oh my gaaaawwwd, the eating. It’s like I’ve been eating non-stop for the last 28 days! Chinese New Year is not kind on the body, that’s for sure.

I’ll talk about the highlights of my trip in my next post, but for now, I just want to kiss my bed, my stinky bolster and unpack. I took several kilos of beauty products to Malaysia and brought home even more. It’s a trip well spent. 😛

So how have all of you been? I’ve missed you! Replying your comments on the phone and iPad is hard (yeah, first world problems. I have ‘em), so I’ll reply all of them now. What’s new? What’s cookin’? What juicy goss have I missed? 😀

Till my next post,
Tine xx

PS: I’ll tell you more about the photo above later. 😉

Urban Decay is really jumping on the whole NAKED branding, aren’t they? First the NAKED palette, then the NAKED 2, NAKED Basics, NAKED foundation, NAKED nail polish and NAKED blush. Okay we get it! You want us to look good, er, naked? 😛

Hardy hah hah.

I too jumped on the NAKED bandwagon a couple of years ago. I didn’t review it because well, it’s been reviewed to death so there isn’t much point for me to show you the swatches. Having said that, I love the NAKED 1 palette. It’s my go-to eyeshadow palette for any occasion because it’s the only eyeshadows I have that don’t budge on my oily lids at all. I can’t praise it enough, that’s how much I love the palette.

So when I saw the ads for the NAKED foundation, I wanted to see what it was like. I wanted to know if it would be another gem like the NAKED palette was for me. Urban Decay isn’t available in Australia so it was a leap of faith for me to get it online. Thanks to last year’s Boxing Day sales, I managed to snag this and the NAKED Basics eyeshadow palette at 15% off. I’ll review the NAKED Basics palette soon, but for now, let’s talk about the NAKED SKIN Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup.

You know that very popular Facial Treatment Essence by SKII? The one deemed Holy Grail by lots of beauty bloggers and editors? The one that has a lot of women coveting for its hailed skincare benefits? It didn’t work on me. Not at all. In fact, the much cheaper Hada Labo Moisturising Lotion did a much better job than the Facial Treatment Essence ever did. I reckon it’s because of that that I don’t pay much attention to SKII products at all. And the fact that they do cost an arm and half a leg.

However, when I saw Val’s review on the Skin Signature Eye Cream, I must admit I was intrigued. I’ve been looking for a better eye cream for quite some time now. The ones I’ve been using are decent but not good enough. I decided to give SKII a go once more. So when I was at Changi Airport in November, I snapped one up to try. Duty free FTW, yo.
