Chantecaille Cosmetics Swatches and Reviews (Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer; La Sirena Bronzer Highlighter Duo; Luminescent Eye Shades; Philanthropy Cheek Shade, Les Perles Metallic Eye Liner)

Hello dearies!!!

I’m sharing my latest tiny stash from Chantecaille!

I bought 6 items & they are:

1. Philanthropy Cheek Color – Butterfly (Bliss) SGD 68

2. Luminescent Eye Shade in the color Sole SGD 80

3. Luminescent Eye Shade in the color Mare SGD 80

4. La Sirena Bronzer – Highlighter Duo SGD 131

5. Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer in the shade Alabaster (Fair with balanced undertones) SGD 126

6. Les Perles Metallic Eye Liner in the color Bleu ( they have one more color in Vert) SGD 71

The two eye shadows, bronzer with highlighter duo & the eyeliner are suppose to be Limited Editions so I’m not too sure if these items will be made permanent or not as they were sold out like hot cakes once they hit the counter at Takashimaya Singapore. (Chantecaille is only available at Takashimaya Singapore).

The butterfly blusher should also be limited edition as it is part of the Philanthropy collection that has other themes and they are Turtle, Horse, Bee, Elephant & a Coral. Some of the proceeds goes to support the various organizations & I think this is just perfect! For more information, please go to their official site: https://chantecaille.com/collections/philanthropy-cheek-shades These Cheek shades comes with a shimmery overspray & it will be gone from your first dip into the pan & that’s what happened to mine as you can see it’s without the overspray in the picture above. 😖 I can tell you that all 6 of the blushers are darn pretty! 😍 I have one too many blushers so I had to stop myself from getting all 6! (When I bought mine, the Bee & the Coral was oos so I did not like the fact that I was not going to be able to purchase the full collection anyway) 😬

Let me show you some swatches before I go on:

(Top to Bottom – Just Skin Moisturizer in Alabaster; Eye Shadow Sole – a beautiful coppery brown; Eye Shadow Mare- a lovely greenish moss; Bronzer; Highlighter; Butterfly (Bliss) Blush – Soft pink)

The Eyeliner in Bleu. As I’ve mentioned earlier, the other shade is Vert which is a green. I don’t really like this because it felt too watery & not easy to use if you are not a makeup guru (in my opinion). The glitters will not show up much if it’s just a thin outline. Probably more suited for a night party look with thicker lined eyes.

The eyeshadows & bronzer highlighter duo I’m telling you to grab these if you can lay your hands on still! These are amazingly gorgeous! 😍 The texture is so so so smooth, creamy and easy to blend! It’s so pigmented! Love Love Love!

As for the butterfly blusher, it’s a pretty pink but not something uncommon. I would still buy it as I love butterflies! And also you will feel good for contributing to whichever organization (depends on which animal or Coral you choose) as part of our duty as humans. Do your part! Go get one!

The Just Skin Tined Moisturizer is another amazing product. I’m in love with the formula. It is very lightweight when on the skin & I don’t feel like I’m wearing any makeup. It’s like a light foundation with a SPF of 15. Good on days when you feel lazy as this looks so natural and it blends in a swift (and I’m only using finger not bb or brush) 🤓 Saves you some time! I don’t set it with powder as I like the natural glow it gives. My skin looks as though it has drank enough water & it feels velvety.

It covers my redness & uneven skin tone pretty easily. I like the packaging that it’s in a tube form, so easy to pack it into your handbag for a quick touch up on the go. I would say – go try it! 7 shades available! Fyi – mine in Alabaster is the lightest shade.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this!

Stay tune for more

Cheers

Tatcha Review Part 4 -Violet-C Radiant Mask

Are you thinking of getting this gorgeous purple looking mask that’s suppose to promote softer glowing skin?

Sold for SGD 95 at Singapore Sephora. Comes with its own spatula which I believe is made of plastic as it feels light & not heavy but useful for scooping out the mask.

This is how the mask looks like:

I’ve used it three times (once a week) and you can see that I have not used a large amount. It spreads easily and only a small amount is needed to cover your face, avoiding the eye area.

This mask is purple in color as it contains Japanese beauty berry which is a super fruit rich in antioxidants. In the ingredients list, I see fruit extracts inside. I was a little afraid that it might tingle like AHAs BHAs etc but it did not. It does not sting! I love it! It’s like a creamy face mask and does not dry down after 15 mins (the recommended leave on time is 15-20 mins). The consistency is pretty thick yet it feels comfortable and easy to spread. It has a slight citrusy scent but it’s so faint you can’t really smell it when it’s on.

After washing it off, I can see that my skin is a little glowy! 🤩 wow! I’m sold!

It is quite therapeutic if you are a fan of the color – purple. 🤣 I am!

Buy it! Try it! Love it!

Tatcha Review Part 3 – The Rice Polish Classic Foaming Enzyme Powder

Hi hi!

This is the third product I have from Tatcha.

The Classic Rice Polish Foaming Enzyme Powder

SGD 95 at Singapore Sephora

It comes in 4 variations, the classic, gentle, deep & calming.

It has this little opening after you twist the cap open:

You are suppose to pour about half a teaspoon onto your palms:

This is how it looks after adding water to foam it up:

The foam is very fine and when you massage it gently onto the face, it does not feel coarse or grainy. It feels just like the usual foaming kind of cleanser and it smells just a little like rice very faintly.

After rinsing it off, I can immediately see that my skin tone is more even. I continued to use this twice a day for 2 weeks & my skin texture seems to have improved as in it looks clear & even tone.

I would continue to use this as part of my cleansing routine and may get the Camilla oil to try as a partner with this cleanser.

Recommend this for those who enjoys the pleasure of looking at the pretty packaging, then slowly pouring the powder out, wetting your face & hands, foaming the powder then get to washing your face slowly & gently. It’s fun and I look forward to using it twice a day!

Cheers

Tatcha Review Part 2 – The Essence

Hello hello!

The second product that I want to review is The Essence

This is sold for SGD135 in Singapore Sephora. This is a resurfacing skin softener with Japanese superfoods for a youthful radiant look as it’s described on the Sephora online site. This claimed that in just 7 seconds, the skin’s natural moisture content is boosted to reduce dryness and battle the pesky signs of aging.

Sounds good! So I bought….

After opening the cap, it has this silicon mouth that controls and direct the product to drip a small amount each time you give it a good shake (like ketchup 🤣).

This design is indeed very user friendly unlike some others that has a huge opening and each time you waste some products when using (either you poured too much or you spill some). 😕

The content is just like water, no smell to it and it’s clear looking. You are suppose to pour some onto your palms and pat in onto your face. This gets absorbed pretty fast and what I do like about it is that it has no smell at all. It gives me a feeling that the content seems kinda pure in that sense.

After constantly using this twice a day for two weeks, I must say that my skin feels & looks plump! So far so good!

As for it’s other claim that it’s suppose to help all other skincare products after this to absorb better, I cannot attest to it but to believe that it does.

I would conclude that if you are looking for a hydrating Essence, this is it!

Cheers

Tatcha Review Part 1 – Silk Canvas Protective Primer

Hello everyone!

It’s Tatcha time!

Most of Tatcha’s products flies off shelves the moment they hit Singapore’s Sephora stores. I searched high and low and finally managed to lay my hands on a few items but it’s a pity I’m not able to get the highly raved about mist!

Tatcha Silk Canvas Protective Primer

This is sold for SGD72 at Sephora. It contains silk that is suppose to smooth & preserves the look of makeup.

Comes in a twist cap round container like this:

It comes with a disc that helps you pick up the right amount:

You are suppose to scrape the primer with the disk gently until it reaches the line that is marked on it but in my opinion, a little goes a long way!

This is sufficient for your whole face 😁

See how easily it spreads?

Viola! All smooth!

This primer indeed lives up to its name of smoothing! My makeup glides on top of it and it seems to adhere pretty well I would say!

One thing to note though, this is not a oil control primer, hence my T zone got oily as the day goes but I still like it because at the end of day after I removed my makeup, my skin does feels soft and still smooth as it’s suppose to protect and probably sealed my skincare that was underneath.

I would recommend this for those looking for a smoothing primer with skincare properties!

Cheers

Westman Atelier Review

Hello everyone!

This is my very first review and I would like to begin with Westman Atelier’s Cosmetics.

Gucci Westman is a renown make up guru https://westman-atelier.com/password and she created her own line of clean, conscious makeup.

There are 6 products in her collection and they are (accurate at date of this posting):

Vital Skin Foundation Stick (comes in 11 colors)

Baby Cheeks Blush Stick (comes in 4 colors)

Face Trace Contour Stick in only one color – Biscuit

Lit Up Highlight Stick in only one color – Lit

Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in only one color – Peau de Pêche

Beauty Butter Powder Bronzer in only one color – Coup de Soleil

They can be found at Barney’s https://www.barneys.com/designer/westman-atelier/beauty/N-11etc62Ztdt7px

I bought the foundation stick in Color Atelier 1, the blush in color Petal, the contour stick and also the highlight stick.

I did not purchase the powder highlight or bronzer as the colors looks dark for me.

They come in these beautiful light pink with black border boxes:

They come in a magnetic capped metal round tubes which are so amazingly pretty! They feel heavy too:

Let me swatch these for you under normal day light – (Bottom to top – Foundation in Atelier 1, Contour in Biscuit, Blush in Petal, Highlight in Lit):

Room light:

Blended out gently:

I’m a fair neutral skin tone (Asian) & I’ll usually get the fairest or second fairest color in foundations.

My thoughts…

The foundation is of light coverage so as you can see here, the color looks dark (even though this is the lightest shade in the range) on me, but when blended out, it is acceptable. (Please give us more color variations!) It is suppose to be buildable but I feel that in Singapore’s hot humid weather, it’s best to wear less! It does feels very comfortable & looks like second skin. It wears well throughout the day (say 7-8 hours) and I do get oily on my T zone but this is very normal for me as I do have combination skin type. Blot & I’m freshen. No powder needed on top of this as it feels and looks semi matte which I like! I would think this would work better for normal to combination skin types and could be a little drying for dry skin types.

The contour is very easy to use & super easy to blend. This is great for beginners & also probably for fairer skin tones as this may not be deep enough for medium/deep skin tones.

The blush is pretty and looks very natural! I’ll be getting more colors for sure! Eyeing the Poppet & Minette colors now! Recommend!

The highlight is very subtle and great for a daily look and it seems that the color is a little more on the cooler side. It also seems to be tackier than the rest of the products….

These are great for travel as they are cream based held in magnetic cases. No worries about spillage, smashed powders etc……. Just stripe, blend and go!

I will continue to use these on days where I feel that my skin is behaving where only light coverage is needed to even my skin tone or when I want to look natural. I will repurchase! (Maybe not the highlight… 🤔)

According to the description on Barneys, these are formulated without parabens, PEG, talc, phthalates, synthetic fragrances. Sounds good!

However, do check the ingredients list before trying just in case you are sensitive to any of the contents.

I welcome any comments/questions!

Cheers

Serin’s Stashes

Woke up today and started playing my game on my phone and noticed that my friend had not been online for a week so I started texting her. I realized that I’m the only person on earth who is not busy. As I should have been working. Been spending 6 weeks on YouTube, mobile games and online shopping, whatnot since I have all the time in the world! After much YouTubing and encouragement from my friends, I’ve decided to launch my own blog and I will be sharing my stashes of skincare and cosmetics in hope for some PR boxes to be sent over! I’m inspired! Let’s go!

PS – All products are paid by myself and not sponsored. I’m also using my phone most times to take pictures so no fancy displays or photo editing. All simple truth! My reviews, comments, opinions are solely mine and not in anyway meant to be promoting or discriminating.

Cheers
