Swatches and Paul & Joe

This is just a short post of some random things I have because it's getting late in the night already. It's almost 9pm and I haven't done the daily chores, plus I usually sleep at 1030pm hahaha.
I'm doing the most random thing right now with the bf. We're trying to compare who's taste in oldies is better....Queen or Nirvana!?!?!?! He thinks Nirvana is better than Queen...psshh...

I've done a few swatches of the Maquillage items I have. I'm not really gonna do an in depth review of it, but I do want to mention that I really like these new Maquillage eyeshadows and blush a lot because they're so pigmented and long lasting! Plus, they also come with easy to use tutorials.
Maquillage eyeshadow, I can't remember what it's called. Eyes creator??

The Maquillage Face Creator 11 compared to the Coffret D'or Color Blend Blush in OR-24.
The Coffret D'or blush is probably my current favourite because the color is so buildable. You can also mix the colors or use them on its own. It gives me perfectly blushed cheeks without looking over done with makeup.
I love how there's 2 highlighter strips in this palette which you can mix. The highlighter shade is very subtle and it gives a nice glow on my cheek bones. The colors are a mix of peachy and pink shades which have great staying power.
I think the brush that comes with this palette is useless because the bristles are too stiff. It's good to use with the highlighter though.

I had to mention one of my P&J items that totally helped save my skin! For those of you with dry skin or dry cheeks, this is the perfect solution for you! The P&J Treatment oil moisturizes your skin like no other.
I always thought of my skin as oily so I would always buy skincare products for oily skin. Well that was a big mistake for all these years because I had oily combo skin. My t-zone was oily but my cheeks were always dry. I wondered why my cheeks would be flaky everytime I applied makeup. That was one of the reasons I never used foundation, the other reason is because I thought I wouldn't look natural. I exfoliated everyweek but it didn't seem to work.
I thought I was doomed to have flaky cheeks forever until I read Cuttibebe's post on the P&J treatment oil. I was eager to get it in hopes that it'll break the dry cycle on my cheeks and I'm glad I did! After one use, I already noticed a difference, my cheeks weren't as flaky anymore the next day. So now I'm able to use foundation without worrying that I'll have flaky skin on my cheeks.

I purchased the treatment oil in Hong Kong for $360HKD. It contains 40mL and it comes in a heavy glass bottle. The cap has the signature P&J flower designs on it which is a nice touch. It makes my vanity look more high end XD I think $360HKD was quite a hefty amount for such a small bottle, but I didn't realize that alittle goes a long way. I use 4-5 drops for the entire face. Although my face has a slight oily residue for the rest of the night, I like how it's so moisturizing. I don't get any breakouts from the oil which is a great thing.
