After I used around 10 times, I only used 2 to 3 times per week, be honest, I feel quite sensitive" poking" uncomfortable feeling, especially on my forehead. But after certain times, I kind of get used to it. According to the theory , after rolling ,the pores got stimulating and open now, this stage of skin, the absorption is the best and perfect time to apply the serum to achieve the best advantage from the products. I will separate 4 parts, forehead, 2 sides of the cheek, 2 sides of nose and the chin. Basically I m apply the Synergie vitamin A and B serum. After the rolling stimulation, my face is quite red but after awhile it will be gone. You could also use it under the eyes and the neck, but don't forget to apply very light motion. After using it, I will spray the roller with the alcohol and store it for next time used
我買左之後都用左10次, 我係一星期用2,3 次, 初初用我都覺得好鬼 "吉", 特別係額頭,用多幾次先慣, 佢話碌完之後,要喺 5 分鐘之內搽精華素,原因係毛孔已經開啟,最好時間搽精華素,吸收效果最好!我會分開4 部份黎碌,額頭,臉頰兩邊,鼻翼兩邊同下巴,碌完即刻搽精華素。我會用番 Synergie 既 vitamin A,B 既 精華素,基本上我碌完塊面都會幾紅,但係過左一陣就會無野。我都會碌頸同眼底,但係力度記住一定要輕,如果唔係會好痛。我用完後會用消毒火酒噴喺個碌度,等酒精全乾即可使用


After about one month used, so far I can tell my skin is more glow, silky and the pores looks finer. But may be the stimulating, I have some breakouts, but so far I m quite satisfied the results except I still feel sensitive especially on my forehead. Overall, it is a good idea home devices to increase the skin absorption and with affordable price. It sells at HK $ $656, and it can be used 300 times, very good deal!
用左1個月後, 好明顯地我既皮膚既光澤度係提高左,滑左,毛孔好明顯係細緻左。可能太過刺激,生左幾粒暗瘡。不過,我都幾滿意佢既效果,雖然我每次碌額頭都仲好敏感,希望遲 d 會習慣啦。基本上,我都覺得呢個家用微針幾方便,價錢唔係貴, HK$ 656 可以用300 次,除開每次仲好平,又可以係屋企做,膚質可以改善,一舉三得。

金次個粉底仲跟埋一個葫蘆形既 sponge, 兩頭都可以用,大邊就用於大既範圍,如面頰,額頭; 而細個邊就可用於眼底,鼻翼旁; 其實個 theory 就好似 Beauty Blender既原理,係可以令到個粉更加貼,遮瑕度更高!不過呢個 sponge 就可以乾用,唔須一定要濕用。










































According to their website,  this is a natural glow with high coverage, up to 12 hrs long lasting moisture. This product has been formula contains a high concentration of natural-origin macadamia oil. More highly reflective than regular oils,  it also stays on skin for longer, contributing to a lasting glow, light reflection comparison. With the revolutionary sponge techniques,  "tapping " a true secret of professionals to maximize a glowing finish with a perfect fit 
跟據官方網站既資料,佢有高度遮瑕,長達12 小時既保濕功效,另外,佢仲有多源光感科技,此配方含高濃度天然夏威夷果油,光折射效果更佳,更貼面,帶來更長效的光澤效果,令你係任何光線下都有完美既肌膚,再配上呢個特別設計既 sponge,並配合輕印式上妝技巧, 面頰更會自然剔透光感妝容。


Sounds like this is a very attractive foundation....told my friend to get it HK for me. I have been trying around 1 week, usually  one pump is good enough for the whole face.  Coverage is not bad too,  very easy to apply with the sponge; I also try to apply with the Sigma  F82 brush,  be honest,  I like this more,  coverage is more flawless and use less product. For the moisture,  may be I m living in Vancouver, moisture is only average,  I need to add the moisture make up base to achieve the result. 
聽到好似有好多優點咁,又即管買黎試下先。試左成個禮拜,一泵已經夠全面嘞,遮瑕度真係唔錯,易推,我都試過用 Sigma 既 F82 上呢個粉,老實講,我就比較鍾意用呢種掃黎上,因為我覺得個效果更加透薄,用既粉仲唔須要咁多; 致於保濕度,可能我住係加拿大既關係,保濕度只係一般,要多加一層滋潤既 make up base 先得。

Personally,  I feel this is even better than Urban Decay, may be my eye lid is quite oily. I started to looked at the other products that they have.
自從我上一次試左佢既 12 hr made to last eyes shadow pencil 之後 (02 stay on black),個效果真係好好,直程可以同 urban decay媲美,我自己党得個持夠度仲好過 urban decay同其他大牌子潻,可能我個眼皮太油啦。佢既12 hr 防溶,防油既賣點真係無誇張!而因為呢支筆,我亦對佢其他產品好有興趣!
























Then I tried the Power Blush, the powder is very creamy, very high pigmentation , lasting power is not bad too.( 43 Peach Blossom, 38 Coral Sandy Beach, 12 Redwood ) Also the Twist & Shine moisturizing balm stain (06 Cranberry Crush,  08 Terra Cave ), excellent quality, smooth and moisturizing.

Giorgio Armani Eccentrico Face Palette

Giorgio Armani's holiday product  is the Eccentrico Face Palette ( US $88 for 8g/0.27) a limited-edition highlighter/ blush palette. It is a bright red packaging with the little brush, and this is very eye catching. It also come with the little brush which underneath the blush, the hair of the brush is very soft too
今年 Giorgio Armani holiday 漂染腮紅 光燦嬌顏限量版,(US $ 88/0.27g) , 這是一個限量版光影及胭脂四合一的組合。今年是以鮮紅色的包裝,十分搶眼,下層有附刷子及可放刷子的空間,刷子的毛質亦很柔軟。
























The palette has is a mix of pinks, coral, a cool frosty white shimmer with the thin layer of overspray . After removed the top overspray, if  you swirled together, then you will have a light medium pink glow. You could use the darker pink / coral side as a blush or use the white shimmer as a highlighter.
當打開時,是有一層金銀色的粉蓋住,很華麗,但用的時候要把它掃開,才會見到真正的顏色,基本上,它是由兩種不同的粉紅色,橙色, 可當作胭脂; 白色光影粉組合而成。























The quality of the powder is excellent ,it is soft, creamy,and the shimmer is very refined and natural that giving you extra skin glow. After remove the overspray, I only pick up the darker pink powder, it is good enough for me to use it  as blush alone. Well there are different shade of pink and can give you different blush tone
粉質很幼滑,就算是閃粉都是幼細的,很自然。當金銀色粉掃開後,我會用深粉紅色作胭脂,當然,不同色調的膚色便可運用不同顏色而作出不同的胭脂。
























I'm not the big fan of the overspray, I just don't see the point. Be honest, the red packaging is very caught my eyes but I m more prefer what color which underneath. In my opinion I feel the price is a bit high.
老實說,我自己並不太喜歡這個金銀粉的設計,我反而喜歡它原來的顏色,不過鮮紅色的包裝,確實是吸引力所在,如果價錢可以下調的話就更好!!

Packaging is very luxury, sleek compact, this palette contains a bright frosty white shimmery color, a sparkle metallic light gray, a light cool satin gray, and a deep matte gray. It's also come with a big mirror and, two little applicators.

Tom Ford makeup's quality never make you disappointed, no matter is pressed powder,eye shadow, blush, they all are superior ,smooth , pigmented, creamy, always perfectly paired in the quad.
Tom Ford的所有化妝品都是顯色度很高,不管是粉餅,眼影,胭脂,粉質很滑,很幼細,很容易控制,對新手沒有太大的問題。另外,組合的好處是它已經把所有顏色配合地放在這個設計中。























Since, this is a very cool tone color quad, May be not much people will like it, but I  really enjoy it, this color can give you a fresh cool look which perfect for snow white Xmas time.
可能這類的顏色系列不是每一個人的心頭好,但我卻很喜歡,很型格的感覺,並很配合冬天下雪的季節!

Tom Ford’s Eye Defining Pen

Tom Ford’s Eye Defining Pen in Deeper at $55 (US) !!!, for a black liquid liner, it is very expensive especially when there are so many great drugstore and department store liners are available, but after deeper thought, it is worth it

當我一見到Tom Ford 眼綫筆隻售價為 US $55 !!! 價錢絕不便宜,在一枝黑色眼綫筆來說,所有大小不同的化妝品牌都有,質量也不錯,但再三考慮下,決定將它買下。





















It is a double end tipped pen, one with the long softer tip and the other side is the shorter tip. Both tips are giving you very smooth application and very jet black even only one stroke. This pen is good for those girls who love to wear the cat eyes make up. I usually use the longer tip to draw first then use the shorter side for more precision, details (even between eyelashes) and dramatic finish

此Eye Defining Pen是雙頭眼綫液筆,其中一端為較長幼細筆頭,而另一端是較短專業級刷頭,兩端的筆頭都可作出很流暢的綫條,它的顏色是深炭黑色的,這筆絕對可以打造簡潔流暢綫條,或是飛揚翼狀眼綫,塑造出猫眼妝的效果。而我,通常先會用幼長的一方先作初型,然後再以較短的一方再作細緻的填補,特別在眼睫毛之空隙。





















Even though this product did not state this is a waterproof pen, but is does give me incredibly long wearing over 8 hours and still washes off easily with make up remover
雖然此產品並沒有標明防水的效果,但以我的油眼皮來看,防溶效果也很好,8小時以上的持夠度絕不會有問題。


If you are high-end makeup lovers and value long-wearing, rich black eye-liners, long lasting formula, Deeper is absolute a good options for you.
如果閣下是對化妝品有很高的品質要求,顯色度,持夠度,這產品絕不會令你失望。
