CATRICE Spring/Summer 2017 Collection

Hello Summer! Ever since CATRICE entered the local Singapore beauty scene several years ago I've been a big fan of their large range of colorful, diverse and affordable products. Back in 2013 I hauled my first batch of products from them (see here) and it's been love since. Today I'm excited to be sharing products from CATRICE cosmetics new Spring/Summer 2017 collection!

Rave Review: Catrice 12h Matt Mouse Make Up in 010 soft ivory!

Moussey and matte! Mouse foundations is something I've always been keen on trying out but very rarely do as I'm quite set and happy with liquid and powder foundations. However there was a sale some time ago on Catrice products and couldn't pass up the chance to try their mousse foundation.

Considering Singapore's terribly hot and humid weather, it's a must to have a long wearing base if you're going to consider wearing one at all. Luckily this mouse foundation nicely lived up to what I thought it would be like.

Review: Catrice Infinite Shine Lip Gloss in 150 Pink Twice!

Shiny and flashy hot pink! For those in Singapore, the arrival of Catrice and Essence a few years ago was HUGE drugstore news! We've only ever had like maybe 2 drugstore brands that sold all their make up items for under $20! It's so great to have these two large brands with such range of colors and product types now in Singapore and both younger ladies and full blown adults are happily swatching and checking out their things without the fear of having to spend at least $20 on one item.

When I saw this glorious rich fuschia hot pink, I just knew I had to get it! It's the perfect blue toned full on bold pink!

Rave Review: Catrice Defining Blush in 080 Sunrose Avenue!

Sunrose Avenue we go! Those who have read my blush reviews may know that I've reviewed quite a few of the single defining blushes from Catrice. This brand, a european drugstore brand became avalible a few years ago and sells such a wide and amazingly range of products for half of the price of regular drugstore names in Singapore like Maybelline, revlon and so on. I've fallen madly in love with these blushes given their price, colors and quality.

This shade was the last shade I added to my collection of a total of 5 single blushes from Catrice. The moment I swatched this shade I knew it was going to be to love! Those keen on seeing my Catrice blush collection (check out here!)

Rave review: Catrice Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm in 010 Rose & Woody!

My perfect nude lip crayon! After having such great success with my first Catrice lip balm crayon, which was sent to me as part of a swap I decided to go ahead and get another color now that these are being sold in Singapore! I was so surprised by how this stayed even and didn't dry up my lips hence as a dry and sensitive lip girl I had the confidence to go ahead and get another shade! Check out my review of the shade (Don't Think Just Pink here!)

Review: Catrice Camouflage cream concealer in 020 Light Beige!

Camouflage Cream! Are any of you fans of heavy concealers? I've never been a fan or been in need of a high coverage concealer because I get enough coverage from my foundations/ bb creams so I almost never wear concealer. 

The only times are when I know I'm going to be very hot and sweaty or if I have scars healing. As part of my first huge first haul from Catrice I picked this up!  (Check out the haul here!)

Overview: My Catrice Defining Blush Collection!

My Catrice Blush Collection! Feast your eyes on my Catrice defining blush collection! For those who aren't aware, I freaking love blush! I used to be scared of blushes, scared I'd turn into my mother who wears mostly just lipsticks and blush but the last few years have turned me into a blush monster!

Catrice landed in Singapore's shores in early 2013 and since then I've been trying to try out all of their range from their blushes, quads, concealer and foundations! I've just gone nuts because the range sells here for a price range of $3-20 SGD which is amazing considering international drugstore brands start selling at $20 SGD!

Review: Catrice Multi Colour Compact Powder for Lighter Skin 010 Rose Beige!

Multicolor compact powder! Having seen a multi colored pressed powder from so many brands, drugstore and some high end brands I've been drawn to how it would work. Most of the time these multi color powders are either corrective, for setting make up or for light coverage. I saw this at the Catrice stand and couldn't help but to get it because it's so cheap!

I chose the shade for lighter skin and as you can see I was really excited to see how it would look on my yellow skin tone as there's a great spray like blend of colors that make up the powder.

Review: Catrice Defining Blush in 010 Toffee Fairy!

Toffee Fairy for you? Yes, it's a cute name! And yes, it's such an affordable blush! Ever since Catrice became available in the local pharmacy here in Singapore called Guardian I've been raiding their display for blushes, powders, foundations and eyeshadows! Basically trying all of their make up! I'm very glad to report that I've bought every shade except two which I don't like from the single blush range found in store! Check out my first Catrice haul here!

Do check out my reviews of the shades 050 Apricot (here), 060 Rosewood Forest (here) and 020 Rose Royce (here)!

Review: Catrice Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm in 030 Don't Think Just Pink!

Don't Think, Just Pink! Lip product time! I've been doing some real progress on my promise to myself to use more lip products. I may own a decent bunch of lipsticks, colored balms and glosses but last year I really barely touched any of them! After making a conscious decision every time I did my make up to try to use even a very light lip product now I can proudly say that I'm back into using lip products!

This was sent to me from Pam from Jade in the Palace beauty blog as part of a year end beauty gift swap last year! She sent me an amazing package and this was one of the lovely bits inside!

Review: Catrice Skin Finish Compact Powder in 031 Warm Beige!

Skin Finish Compact Powder! Everybody needs powder, maybe unless you suffer from very dry skin a good powder as a foundation or for setting your base is so basic and needed in any make up collection. For those who don't wear sunblock having SPF in your foundation or powder is a good replacement. 

Here, I've picked up a very sheer coverage powder for everyday use. There are only a few shades in this range but they are so sheer it's easy to blend them out to match most pale to medium skin tones!

Review: Catrice Defining Blush single in 050 Apricot!

Apricot flush! Out of all the shades my eyes have come across when I was younger, I never ever thought that I'd buy orange or coral shade blushes in the future. As a child I really liked watching my mother putting on her coral, red or pink lipstick and realized that she only wore coral blush as she's a bit tan and it suited her! I just thought that coral and orange shades wouldn't work one me but years later and some gorgeous peaches later...here's an awesome affordable blush!

For my rave reviews on some of their other shades Rose Royce (my review here) and Rosewood Forest (my review here)!

Review: Catrice Defining Blush single in 060 Rosewood Forest!

Rosewood lover! Hey ladies! This has been a long week, a six day week at work which isn't ending until thursday this week. Count that and I'm going on working 10 days without rest.I'm at least grateful that the section I'm working in at my internship site is not too laborious and physically exhausting!

Heads up to some of my favorite blushes now of all time. The defining singles from Catrice have won me over. I bought one shade for a start, Rose Royce (my review here!) which is now one of my top blushes, a beautiful slightly coral rose shade and then since then I've went back and picked up 3 more shades!

Review: Catrice Photo Finish 18h liquid foundation in shade 010 Sand Beige!

Photo Finish Foundation! Being one of the many products I grabbed during my first huge Catrice haul I had swatched this in store and it was amazing. The shade seemed right and the coverage and texture felt and looked really good. With extremely high hopes I've since worn this a few times and it has been pretty great!

Review: Catrice Absolute eye colour in 640 and 570!

Don't Touch My Mosserati! Don't you just love the names of some shadows? These were my next two purchases after my first three single shadow buys from Catrice! My first three with neutrals and these two were just shades that jumped out at me! I knew I was going to use that green so much the moment I swatched it!

Catrice Defining Blush in shade 020 Rose Royce!

Defining blush! Having completely RAIDED the Catrice display at the Guardian in NEX shopping mall in Serangoon this was the first blush I picked up from them!

(Check out my huge Catrice haul here!)

Being a huge blush fan and I love rosey pink shades, this one just jumped at me! I swatched the babies on the stand and there were so smooth and pigmented! I since have went back for another but will definitely be wanting to pick up another shade or two, these are simply amazing!
