This is my LOTD for the recent RoC event. Hmm... I think I used alot of products for this look (lol). The photo below, shows most but not all products used.

List of products used for this LOTD:

• Sleek Blush in Rose Gold >> recent fave
• Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten >> all-time-fave
• Stila Shimmer Eyeshadow in Mystic
• K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h Waterproof (Dark Brown) >> HG
• K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyepencil
• Stage Eye Liner 02 Broadway Brown >> HG
• Skin79 All-Day Sun Powder SPF30 PA++
• Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadow in 7 Sweet Fire
• Maybelline Volum’ Express Magnum Ultra Comb Waterproof Mascara
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original)
• Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Perversion >> love this!
• Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil
  
• Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer

 

Not pictured:

• Revlon Colorstay Foundation 200 Nude >> i find it a lil' too thick for my liking...
  
• Bourjois Intense Extrait Eyeshadow 03 Sand Rose >> glitter-bomb
• MAC Paints in Graphito

 

*Note: Products highlighted are provided by beauty companies.

I love how Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Perversion gives my lips a pretty berry tone. A little goes a long way. Oh, I'm lovin' the mint flavor too ♥

I wanted my eye makeup to last longer than usual, hence using Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original). I applied it on my lids and on my lower lashline.

I applied Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadow in 7 Sweet Fire all over the lids, and Stila Shimmer Eyeshadow in Mystic over it (⅔ of lids). To highlight the brow bones, I used my all-time-fave Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten. I dusted a lil' Bourjois Intense Extrait Eyeshadow 03 Sand Rose to make the eyes 'pop'.

To avoid having 'sore-looking' eyes, I applied a thick 'liner' of MAC Paints in Graphito. Next, I drew a super thin line using my HG K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h Waterproof (Dark Brown), on the upper lashline (as close as possible!). The line must be extended at the end, to make the eyes look wider. For the lower lashline, I used my HG Stage Eye Liner 02 Broadway Brown (a super underrated eyeliner).

Lastly, I curled my lashes and applied 2 coats of Maybelline Volum’ Express Magnum Ultra Comb Waterproof Mascara.

I think the Revlon Colorstay Foundation 200 Nude is a lil' thick... I don't really like the idea of having a full-coverage face. That being said, I agree that it looks good in photographs... kinda too much in real life :S

And, credits to Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer, for creating the illusion of smooth-looking skin! Heh. Lovin' the beautiful glow Sleek Blush in Rose Gold imparted on my cheeks ♥

That's all. Happy Labor Day! (:

Here I am, with the next instalment of Too Faced Naked Eye (Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection) LOTD series - The Fashion Look. Hmm... I should really do a colorful look next...

To rock The Fashion Look, one must have Pink Cheeks and do a Lap Dance wearing Stiletto.

"Jokes" aside, I followed the step-by-step instruction card accordingly (as usual).

• Sweep Pink Cheeks from crease to brow.
• Blend Lap Dance into crease and onto lid.
• Apply Stiletto to upper lash line and extend outward, then blend into lower lashline.

 

I really like all the colors used for this look, especially Lap Dance (a pretty shimmery taupe with a hint of purple). To line and define the eyes, I apply Stiletto (a soft matte black) using a pencil brush. Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil Hard 9 Brown 03 as usual, for soft-looking brows. Sana Gafixx Matsuge Gatch-ly Mascara to amp up my lashes.

MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick is a soft rosy red on me, which I absolutely adore. I like the lustre finish, which the color intensity can be build up according to one's preference. Love how it brightens up the whole look effortlessly.

As for my face, I use Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation 51 Light Vanilla & set with L'egere Mineral Makeup Finishing Powder. I kinda like the combi result, a nice dewy finish. I barely notice any flaws on me... all covered up! On my cheeks, is a light swirl of Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact 10 Sweet Biscuit.

Okay, that's all. Thanks for looking! (:

And finally, I decided to dedicate a post to my undeclared beauty hauls & gifts of 2011. Serves as a "reminder" somehow. To "remind" me of my ever-growing beauty stash :x

This is Part 1, which features mostly makeup stuff. I won't go into details for now... Let the pics do the talking... Will feature some of 'em in future LOTD(s) & review(s)...

My LOTD for the Kanebo Freshel Bloggers' Event.

For this LOTD, I'd used only the eyeshadows from the Majolica Majorca Midnight Dresser Palette #11 Glamorous Makeup Dresser (Ltd Ed X'mas 2009). Had gotten this during the Shiseido Sale last year for $5 (?). I wasn't impressed with the cardboard packaging and definitely would not wanna pay full price for it. I do appreciate that the ltd ed collection palettes (in future) will have better sturdier packaging. The shimmery silver and charcoal grey e/s colors are rather sheer and they crease on me (as shown above). FYI, I didn't use any primer prior e/s application.

Eyes:

• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771 - DEFINE BROWS
• Majolica Majorca Midnight Dresser Palette #11 Glamorous Makeup Dresser (Ltd Ed X'mas 2009) - EYE COLOR
  
• Lunasol Nature Color Eyes 04 Nature Beige - FOR HIGHLIGHT
  
• Make Up For Ever Mini Black Eyeliner (Ltd Ed Aqua Eyes Collection Set) - DEFINE EYES
  
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara - VOLUMIZE LASHES
  

 

Face:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation No.51 Light Vanilla - EVEN COMPLEXION
• Tony & Tina Herbal Environmental Protector Pressed Powder (Translucent) - SET FOUNDATION
  
• Illamasqua Blush (Kiss) - SCULPT CHEEKS

 

As the title suggest, it's gonna be a random post. Super. Random.

Today, I woke up feeling really moody. Prolly the time-of-the-month symptoms are showing? Hmm..

I'm not good at pretending to be happy. My emotions are shown on my face. I'm pretty straight-forward. A little bit over though. If I don't like you, my face will show everything. Vice versa.

I'm having a bad skin day. Pores. Fine lines. Pimple. Blackheads. Whiteheads. Milia seeds. Pigmentation. Oiliness. Dehydration. ETC.

Whatever you can think of. Really.

See my dry lips.

See the annoying pimple?! I accidentally 'burst' it. It's damn painful :/

AND, see the fine lines on my forehead...... *speechless*

Age is catching up......

My super moody face.

I seldom take up-close photo of my right eye.

Hooded eye that is.

Bad skin day sucks totally!

What's on my face:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation No.51 Light Vanilla
• Tony & Tina Herbal Environmental Protector Pressed Powder (Translucent)
• MAC MSF By Candlelight
• Lunasol Nature Color Eyes 04 Nature Beige
  
• Stage Kohl Pencil 01 Karma Khol
• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
  
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
• Korea Love Star Professional Make-Up Mascara

 

On a happier note, I'll be changing my hair color tmr! Technically speaking is today since now is past midnight. Will be having vibrant red head most probably ♥ At least something worth being happy ^^ Jones, Chantana and Chantana's sis will be coloring their hair too! Okay done with my moody post. Ciaos~

And, the focus of this LOTD is my pimp-ed lashes of coz (as shown in the super close-up photo).

Notice the red bits? Well, the red was not super obvious kind coz I layered red mascara over Dolly Wink Volume Mascara.

I'm pretty sure that the red will be super obvious over Majolica Majorca Lash Bone White Fiber.

You must be wondering what red mascara I'm talking about, yes? I didn't get it when it was launched last year. I only got it this year and I just knew I had to get my hands on it. Btw it's limited edition, maybe that explains why?

Ta Dah!~ Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo Red Mascara RD600 (Limited Edition).

 

A lil' review for now:

Red is definitely a unique color and not as widely-used as black or brown of coz. It is not easy to find a red mascara IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong. I was bent on getting this MJ mascara and the only place which still had stock was NAC Watsons. I bought it at full price, no discount whatsoever coz it's limited edition. There was about 2 or 3 left (can't remember) after I got mine. I love how the red makes my eyes 'POP'; more 'awake' somehow. My lashes do look kinda spidery due to the mascara fibers. BUT that doesn't really bother me much, since no one will stand THAT close enough to see that. The mascara fibers did add some length to my lashes and I ain't complaining :p Easy to remove as well, with cleansing oil of coz! I'll layer this on top of MJ Lash Bone White Fiber next time to see the RED effect. ♥x♥

Ignore my oily face; no thanks to the time-of-the-month. 

Photos speak a thousand words. Pretty self-explanatory? Till then.

Products used:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation 51 Light Vanilla

It's been a whole week since my last post. Now, on to Part 2 of my Undeclared Hauls & Gifts 2010.

This was a Dior sale haul, which coincided with Shiseido sale haul (not posted as yet). A day of massive hauling, indeed. I almost grabbed ALL the Dior quints =.= Well, almost. It was really hard to choose which to get !! And the price was IRRESISTIBLE !!

140 Twilight.

A better representation of the colors.

009 Sky Glow.

Got myself 2 lippies as well. Rouge Dior Replenishing Lip Color 858 Red Scene and 434 Interview Pink.

Last but not least, Dior Duo Magique (Duo-Phase Eye Makeup Remover).

 

I knew I had to get my hands on this after reading Lotus Palace blog.

Something from Kanebo ?

What could it be for $118 ?!

Yes, I caved in and got myself this freaking expensive AMAZING concealer (fair).

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter smells freaking awesome I tell ya !

 

Kinokuniya time.

Disappointed buy. agnès b. canvas tote bag. It actually comes with a red heart keychain which I forgot to take photo of.

Awesome buy. Super kawaii HbG bag. Many may find it kiddy. I don't care what others think, as long as I like it (:

Even the lil' HbG keychain is irresistibly kawaii max !! Agree ? :p

I got myself another Fred Perry tote bag ! Their tote bags are always well-made IMO.

Another disappointing buy. I don't like this YSL bag. Not really well-made IMO. Photos are deceiving !!

Taiwan Beauty magazine Oct'10 issue featuring Elva Hsiao.

Women's Weekly Nov'10 with free Nivea Sparkling White Whitening Day Care.

Bazaar Oct'10 with free $20 Häagen-Dazs voucher and a gold ice-cream spoon (not in photo).

Elle Nov'10 with free agnès b. makeup pouch.

Bought this from Vion, which I forgot all about it =.= HK New Monday magazine with free Adidas 2-way tote bag (purple).

Paul & Joe floral pouch set which was free with Japanese magazine purchase. Well-made, which makes a good buy !

 

Random hauls.

Bought 'em at Guardian. Now, these are the old packaging BRTC BB Creams.

I bought BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm SPF20 PA++ & Jasmine Water BB Cream SPF30.

Bought these Elianto pearl shine eyeshadows during a sale.

(TWO TO TANGO, ELECTRA-FIED, ULTRA VIOLET, CHARISMA, PARAKEET)

(PROTEGE, BONDAGE, 1492, COUGAR)

After MONTHS & MONTHS of WAITING & WAITING, I finally get my SMH eyeshadows. BUT NOT ALL. FRESH, according to her was OOS. I do understand that SMH customer service is really THAT bad. But then again, many had problems with the person who conducted the spree. Some of the common problems were: not able to get back refunds despite numerous reminders, unable to contact (be it thru' sms-es, emails, calls, PM-s !!). I can't help but wonder if I'll get any refund for my OOS e/s or will the e/s arrive safely in prolly months' time ?? Well, I'm THAT accommodating that I traveled all the way to the west to collect the e/s instead of opting for mail. It was my 1st time joining OnSugar spree and it wasn't a good one. I believe there're others who have worse experience(s) as compared to mine. Oh well ..

Bourjois Khol & Contour eye pencils (gray, ultra black, blue).

Fasio Chandelier Shine Eyes SV-5. Lotus Palace awesome review, swatches and EOTD !

I had to buy this coz I forgot to bring my powder out on that fateful day =.= Well, no regrets coz I simply love this new ZA Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation SPF20 PA++ refill ! Shade 21 though it's tad fair for me but it looks more natural after oxidization. The powder is really fine and it helps to keep my makeup looking fresh and shine-free for hours.

Nivea Angel Star Body Soft Soufflé.

Really looks like yoghurt eh :3 And, I'm very in love with the raspberry scent !! Smells heavenly ..
