Review: Cyber Colors

Hi everyone! Today I want to review a range of products that I have been using for quite some time. I purchased this when we were in Singapore and have been using them since then! I am so amazed at the quality of the products that I decided to do a review of them. The brand I'm reviewing is Cyber Colors, I have seen their products on Sasa before and never thought twice about giving it a go. 

While shopping in Sasa we got a free make over and the products used were Cyber Colors. I decided to give it a go anyway. 


Gemstone Aqua-Base Pudding Foundation (SPF20 PA ++)
The product is stored in a solid glass container, it carries 30g of product with an open pot design. Inside the packaging it comes with a small spatula to scoop out the amount of product needed and can be washed for hygiene purposes. 

The texture of the foundation is a fluffy, pudding-like cream and blends easily onto the skin. The product is quite dense, even when tipping the container over, the product does not drip out. 

The foundation has quite an interesting scent. It reminds of me of those herbal/natural smells you can usually find with moisturisers.

I purchased the colour 02 Natural, when swatched the colour has more of a pink undertone. Although, when applying with a sponge to my face, the colour seems to match quite well. The coverage for this product is medium to full, although it is not recommended to start with less of the product and slowly building up areas that require more coverage. Skip the dark spots, acne or eye bags for the concealer. This foundation does a good job for cover dark spots and acne, on lazy days just powder on top and you're good to go.

Throughout the day, it is quite natural looking. It does not get dry or patchy throughout the day. So I would probably give this foundation a 7/10.

Gemstone Compact SPF 40 PA +++

The packaging for this is extremely adorable, it has little crystals at the top! This is definitely comparable to the MAC powders. Previously I used the Studio Fix Powder Foundation which has full coverage however, it tends to disintegrate during the day and you can see the patchy dry areas towards the end of the night. This product does not do the same thing, I use it as a powder on top of the foundation and a quick fix when I am heading out after work. This is the only thing I have been carrying in my bag! The only downside is it comes in 3 colours, the sales assistant at Sasa matched me to 01 Porcelain although I think it's a slightly too white for me. Overall a 7/10, the best powder foundation I have tried so far.

Waterproof Style Eyeliner 


This is my hg eyeliner, it is the only eyeliner that I have tried that lasts all day and night for me. From 6am - 8pm at night, this eyeliner does not budge. By far the best purchase I have made on the whole trip to Singapore. Only USD10 on Sasa.com, give it a try! It may be a bit difficult to use as first since the tip of brush is soft but definitely worth the trouble! Definitely a 9/10!

Gemstone Silk Glowing Rouge - Peach Yellow Brown

Received this as a complimentary gift from Sasa. It's more like a nude colour that just makes the lips look slightly more pink. Not really as long lasting as it claims nor moisturising. A slight let down, probably a 5/10.

Travel Beauty Essentials


It seems we have chosen extremely humid places to visit on our travel journey. This sticky humid weather is all worth it though, there is nothing I love more than summer and sunshine beaming into my room. So right now we're in Singapore and enjoying the air-con at our hotel room. We cannot wait to share with you our (hopefully) successful hauls and the fun we will have!

Our late dinner last night at the Hotel

After coming back from Gold Coast, we packed similar skincare and makeup to Singapore.

Make up I have brought along include:

  • Sportsgirl Protect Me Sunscreen
  • Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector
  • MAC Concealer in NC25
  • MAC Studio Fix Plus Foundation
  • Bobbi Brown Pastel Eye Shadow Palette
  • Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara
  • Dollywink Eyeliner 
  • Missha Shimmering Ball Blusher
  • Make Up Eyelash 02 Elegant False Eyelashes
  • Sigma Brush Set 
Makeup

I packed along the basics at the moment, as I know we will be able to buy make up from our local Watsons if needed. Brought along the Bobbi Brown Pastel Eye Shadow Palette instead of the Naked Palette, due to it's size and brighter range of colour. I have been using the colour at the end as a highlighter. If we do decide to explore Singapore's night life, this palette would be easily use for a brown smokey eye and then I can add on my false lashes! 

Skincare products:
  • Haruhada's Hyaluronic Acid to remove makeup
  • Garnier Pure 3 in 1 Cleanser
  • Cucumber Toner
  • My Beauty Diary Shining & Moisturising Sleeping Mask (to hydrate the skin at night!)
  • Pond's Flawless White with SPF 15 (as a day moisturiser)
Skincare
So we will be in Singapore for 5 days! We are heading to the famous shopping road, Orchard Rd. Fingers crossed our wallets won't be emptied out today.
