UPDATE ~ BH COSMETIC 7- PIECE EYE BRUSH SET

Hey guys!

Welcome back! I am so sorry. I know I have been gone for 2 or maybe 3 weeks now but its been so hectic for me recently. Plus not to mention I have been filming and editing a lot of my YouTube videos which I will link down below. As well as I have been so busy going out and catching up with friends and family for my holidays. I did miss blogging but I must admit I had no ideas for my blog post so I decided to put it off.

I would like to also make an announcement that I have been regularly uploading on my YouTube channel now and I will be uploading every Sunday 2pm, 5pm or 7pm. Those are the timings but most probably it will be 2pm. To be kept updated on when I upload follow me on Instagram and Twitter as I update those social media's a lot:)

Anyways, let's just move on to my review.

So I am pretty sure BH Cosmetics came out with a 7 Piece Eye brush set for the holidays which I managed to get and I am so freaking glad I did, because they are AMAZING! Their brushes are so soft and they help me blend my eye shadows like a dream! I bought at Expo at the SMOOCHIEZ booth for $39.90. So if you take $39.90 divided by 7 brushes that will be $5.70 per brush which is like bomb ass amazing. They are so affordable and so good like what more can you can ask for.

It came with a blending brush, concealer brush, angled blending brush, angled brush, liner brush, pencil brush and a shadow brush.

Pros:                                    Cons:

- Affordable                                                -Not  easily accessible for Singaporeans
-Brushes are soft                                      
-Brushes are easily blendable
-Aesthetically pleasing

I would rate this brushes definitely 5 out of 5 stars.

So I hope you guys enjoyed this<3 I promise to upload regularly again every Sunday. Hope you guys have a great day and night wherever you. May God bless you and I will see you guys on my next blog post.

A Little Bit of What Happened....

This is not something I ever talk about on my blog but I feel like I want to give my blog some more meaning. I will talk about beauty a lot on my blog but I do want to write a little bit about what happened recently that just broke my heart into pieces...

It was a typical Thursday evening, looking through twitter and stumbling across my cousin's twitter account. I was basically stalking her and I came across her tweets when her grandmother(also my grandaunt i suppose?) passed away and how she neglected her grandmother and did not visit as often and now she has lost her for good. And I said to myself, well I need to go and visit my grandparents because I miss them and I haven't seen them for a while now.  I went inside my parents room to tell them that I want to go visit them and my mom said she will be staying over in Johor Baharu (JB) over the weekend because there was going to be a wedding in Batu Pahat. Never did we know she was going to be staying over for a different reason.

My mom goes to check her phone and saw she had over 10 missed phone calls from her sisters who lives in JB with my grandparents. She called back almost immediately, worried something might have happened to them. True enough, she gets a message saying my grandfather's breathing has slowed down ever since he came back from dialysis. Now that was not normal. So the message was spread around in my family whatsapp group and they all made a plan to go JB that night itself. I didn't want to go at first because I have exams on Friday evening and my parents said it might be nothing. So that was 5.30pm. An hour later my Aunt called again saying his heart beat has slowed down. I started to panic and wanted to cry. I was torn between my exams and my grandfather. I know what you must be thinking. Of course go to your grandfather! But inside my head I kept on thinking nothing might go wrong, I should just focus on my exam.

At about 7.30pm my brother picked me up to send me to his house to take care of his kids while they went to JB to visit my grandfather. At this point of time I was still in denial about a lot of things. I did whatsapp my group of friends about it and they were all trying to console me. After my brother sends me to his house, I got a message from my dad in our family group chat that my grandfather is already at the verge of death. Tears were already streaming my face before I could even think about it. My grandfather is already about to leave us? And I am not there to see him for one last time to say goodbye, that I am sorry if I have done anything to hurt him or that I love him? I panicked and called my sister up. I said I want to go I dont care I want to see him before he leaves. And my sister says don't you have to take care of Elwi(my brother) kids. And I said I will just tell him that I want to follow you. And she goes on to say that there was not enough space in the car and I said i will squeeze. So then I called my brother up and said I want to go up and see Habib and my brother starts saying no there is no point, you can't do anything just focus on your exams and I said I just want to see him before he leaves and he says no. So i just hung up the phone and cried even more.

A few minutes later he called back saying if you want to go, tell me and I will ask Hamid( my oldest nephew) to lock up the house first. And I felt bad because I already promised to take care of his kids and then I am just going to abandon them. So then I called back up my sister feeling so confused because now I dont know if I want to go see my grandfather or study for my exams(which obviously i was not able to study anymore)  or keep to my promise and take care of my nephew and nieces. I cried on the phone because I was just so confused and had so many emotions at one time.

I decided to stay and take care of the kids. It was 10pm and I was getting cranky and I tried to put them to sleep. By 12+ all of them were already asleep. I tried to sleep as well but I just felt uneasy. I woke up twice before I woke up again by my brother's call. I checked my phone and my heart dropped. I received a message from my mother that my grandfather just passed away at 2am+...

I dont know how or why but I was calmed about it on the way back home from my brother's house. But once I reached home, I burst into tears and I was wailing so loudly. I can't believe he really is gone. I didn't even get to see him before he left me. I switched on the TV muted it and just sat on my sofa staring blankly into space. I just thought about everything that reminds me of him and I just continued crying. It was about 3.30am when my dad got back home. He was quiet and asked me if I heard what had happened. I just nod and he walked away to leave me alone. I just continued crying softly to myself. And then my father said "Go to sleep Khadijah, we are going to have a long day tomorrow" and I just kept quiet. He goes into his room and closes the door. 15 minutes later he opens the door and says the same thing again and once again I just kept quiet. 15 minutes prior to that he gets out of bed walks to the sofa and says " Please Khadijah go to bed" I felt bad now and so I said I will later.

It was 5am and I tried to toss and turn but sleep seems to not be on my side. All I could think about was Habib and how I wasn't there to see him leave. Every time I think about it again. I cried even more. He was really gone. I have to be awake by 7am and it was currently 6am...I think after tossing and turning I finally slept. It was weird, you would think that because I was so sad I was going to cry in my dreams but I had a funny dream about me and my sisters. I remembered laughing so hard about it but if you ask me now what was so funny I don't remember at all. It was 7am and I woke up to get ready for the funeral.

Let's skip to the part of the funeral, when I saw his body there, a little part of me died. He is really not alive. I asked my sister to open it and let me see his face, and there he was. He was ice cold to the touch. I kissed his cold forehead for one last time. And then it really just sinked in. He is really gone.

To be completely honest, no it has not sinked in that he is gone. Yes when I think about it I will cry and cry but when I am not thinking about it, I will be okay. I guess that will be something that I will never be able to let it sink in. I love him so damn much and I will forever remember him as the man who played violin and gambus so damn well. That was what people who didn't really knew him knew about him, that he has a talent in playing violin and gambus.  But as family, I will always remember him as the man who lovess everything with kicap. He was my and will always be my kicap man.

I love you Habib and if I had the choice to re-do the whole entire thing and when to go and visit you, I would. I love you.

TARTE BLING IT ON BLUSH PALETTE

Hey guys!

How was your week? Mine turned out sort of great! I got a camera to film and to take better pictures with! So now hopefully my photos are more HD and clearer! I will also be able to film and right when this blog uploads I will be uploading my YouTube video as well. It will be linked down below.

Anyways, let's move on to the review and swatches of the Tarte Bling It On Blush Palette! You guys know, Tarte brings out a new blush palette every year and every year, people will run and cut people for this palette because they are amazingly pigmented plus packaging is to die for. I did a review on last year's one as well (will link down below). A few people didn't like it for the packaging, not gonna lie, I bought just for the packaging! I love it so much. Its like a purse. SO BEAUTIFUL!

Anyways, lets get started with the pictures and swatching:

The packaging is just A+ for me like bling and black, YES

It comes with the shades L-R: Fetching, Dollface, Prim,  Smashing and Beaming

Shades from top to bottom: Beaming, Smashing, Prim, Dollface and Fetching

They are extremely pigmented and beautiful and you can still get them in Sephora stores in Singapore (dont quote me on that). They are high quality blushes, I mean its from Tarte and I freaking love Tarte blushes always have always will love Tarte Blushes!  I think they are super pigmented and not to mention they last all day on my oily skin and in the blazing hot sun in Singapore. 

Anyways, I really hope you guys enjoyed this! Let me know what you guys would like to see next and I'll be more than happy to do it for you guys! I just did my eyebrow tutorial on my youtube channel that I will link down below! Do check it out, like and subscribe!

UPDATE, ANNOUNCEMENT AND REVIEW ON REAL TECHNIQUE MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE

Hey guys,

 UPDATE: How was your week? I had one terrible week! Google email-ed me letting me know, that my blog was hacked by Malware and I was so upset  and I had to delete that blog and create a new one! I did let you guys know that I was switching to another blog in that old blog!:( I lost all my viewers! I had over 2500 viewers and they were all lost:( I was trying to be positive about it but I have to admit every single time I think back about it I feel like crying. Maybe it was meant to be but I'm trying to gain back all my viewers now! I might be taking down  back all my reviews on all those liquid lipstick and do it again just because I feel like it could have been done better with pictures as well!

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am extremely excited to let you guys know that I have started a channel on YouTube! It has been highly requested for quite sometime now and I actually only wanted to do it when I had a good camera as well as at least 10 000 viewers on my blog first but I got sort of excited I guess. I also created it because it was requested for me to show you guys an eye makeup tutorial! I will probably just keep it at eye makeup for now! I also wanted to let you guys know that I will upload every weekend. So every time I upload my blog, I will be uploading a YouTube video at the same time! Yes I know crazy but I will try my very best to do both. If I don't have the time I will just upload my blog or a video. To be kept updated you can follow me on my social media's and you will know!:) My social medias are linked down below( Sneaky little self promo for myself;) ) I can't upload this week just because the video quality was so bad and I will re-film  with my new camera.

Also, I have a carousell shop and I sell makeup that cannot be found in Singapore and I try to sell it at a reasonable price but please understand that shipping is not cheap! Do check my shop out @khadijah.alsagoff. If you would like me to bring other makeup product, do let me know:)

So today, I want to talk about the Real Technique Miracle Complexion Sponge. I have been using it for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it! It is like the beauty blender! When its dry, its small and when its wet, it turns twice in size. It has a flat surface and also a pointed surface on the other side. I use the flat surface to apply my foundation and the pointed surface to pat in my concealers.

The sponge is super soft and squishy and its really easy to bounce on the face.

It is an amazing sponge and highly recommend it! I just got myself a beauty blender and I will try it out and give you my thoughts and reviews on it as well! I will then give you a comparison between the two! Anyhoo, for now, if you are on a budget,  I really recommend it! Not only because its cheap but also because its beyond amazing in blending in your foundation and concealers!

This is like my third sponge now and I love it! 

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this! Let me know what you think of this sponge if you have it! Also, let me know what you guys would like to see next! Please share this post if you think it's useful for you. Follow me on my social medias if you would like to see more of me! It will be link down below. If you would like to do sponsorship or PR my email will be down below as well! Hope you guys have a lovely weekend and I will see you guys on my next blog post! Stay beautiful! Love you<3 XOXO

MAKEUP REVOLUTION FLAWLESS EYESHADOW PALETTE

Hey guys!

How was your week? It was average for me! My tests are coming up soon and girl or guy I am not excited:'( I am dreading my test week so much. I have been trying to divide my life between school, work, friends, family and studies. I know I shouldn't be working and focus on school but I want to save up money as well as spend some on makeup. I did say I will be going on a no makeup buy but my itchy fingers apparently don't understand that >:( Did you guys see Jeffree Star Holiday Collection of Liquid Lipstick? You know I had to buy Androgyny. I got Androgyny and Masochist! I am definitely going to get Doll Parts as well!

ANYWAYS

Let's get started on my full review! If you want a brief summary, you can scroll down to the highlighted area.

So it comes with 32 neutral eye shadows with some pop of colours but still neutral like type of pop of colours. Some of the shades are creamy and buttery and beautiful but there are some that are very chalky and powdery but its only 2 or 3 shadows the most. Plus the price is beyond amazing in my opinion. 

 It costs 8 Euros on their website(linked down below) and roughs up around $28-$30 sold by Singaporean sellers! Honestly 32 shadows for $28-$30 is a steal. Plus the shadows are highly pigmented! You don't even need MAC Fix plus. But when you use it, the shadows look ultra shiny and almost wet looking (Drool worthy)! 

They come with  a sheet name for the shade names. I feel its unnecessary  because I will end up losing it and they should have just pasted the shade name on the palette itself. But its just a small matter to me so it doesn't affect the overall ratings of the palette. 

When I first received the palette, I was like OH GOD the shades look so similar and I was kinda disappointed by it so I was put off from using it as much until recently. I was swatching all the shades on my hand for this blog post and I was so pleasantly surprised at the colours and pigmentation. Mind you I had this palette for 2 years and I only discovered how different all the shades are! It comes with 6 matte eye shadows to use for blending and 26 shimmery and glittery eye shadows. So you can definitely do a completed look with this palette. Day or night this palette can fulfill your every needs especially if you are a beginner on eye shadows. Now one of the amazing thing about this palette is,  it comes with  a huge mirror so you can use it to travel with and do your eye work using their mirror. This can be your go to travelling eye makeup palette fo sho.

I never notice if my eye shadows actually melt of my eye lids because I always use a primer so, in terms of longevity, I would say its long enough for my average day which is about 8 hours.

Shade from top to bottom: Paper, Almost There, Smudge, Pure Chocolate

Shade from top to bottom: Soft glow, Uncover, Shimmer Heart, Raw

Shade from top to bottom: Buff, Barely Pink, Universal, Red Night

Shade from top to bottom: Highlite, Lowlite, Copper Shimmer, Molton Chocolate

Shade from top to bottom: Angel, Golden Night, Medal, Burgundy Nights

Shade from top to bottom: Unlimited, Gold Digger, Darkest Shimmer, Greenstars

Shade from top to bottom: Brew, Cheerless, Tarnish, Cafe Noir

Shade from top to bottom: Silver Smoke, Blue Stars, Black Tie, Night

AREN'T THEY JUST BEAUTIFUL??!!

Rate of  this palette:

Pigmentation : 9/10 (There are some chalky shades)

Longevity: 8/10

Price: 10/10

Overall: 9/10

Would I recommend this palette? Yea 100% go for it! You will not regret!

Summary:

They are an amazing palette and I would definitely recommend it to my neutral fan ladies and gents. Can you find other palettes out there with the same shades? Probably. At this price? Nah girl. They are fully pigmented. Although there are shades that are chalky the other shades are just fine and beautiful. They are creamy and they blend beautifully on the eye lids. If you are on the fence about getting this palette, I would say don't because its an amazing neutral palette and can we really have enough neutral palettes? 

Pros:

Affordable

Creamy

Comes with a mirror

Cons:

Some shades are chalky

Might take a couple of days to weeks for parcel to arrive

I really hope you guys enjoyed this post! Let me know down below if you have tried any of Makeup Revolution's eye shadow palette. I have another one coming up but it will probably be up in another 2 or 3 more blog post! If you get this palette based of my recommendation, do let me know and tell me if you love it as much as I do! If you have any other questions or suggestions, do leave them down below in the comments and I would love to answer you back!
