안녕하세요 Anyong-haseyo!

Have you noticed that Korean actresses all look so naturally flawless, with their barely there makeup. It is no secret that most of 'em have gone under the knife (plastic surgery). Makeup is still pretty much needed to bring out their (surgically-enhanced) features.

And so, the Basic Korean Style Makeup Look is all about having that flawless, glowy complexion. I've particularly noticed their thick, straight brows. Their eyes are subtly defined (minimal or no eyeshadow, lightly mascara-ed lashes). Natural color for the lips.

I'm using the following products to achieve the Basic Korean Style Makeup Look:-

• Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF30 PA++
• Lancôme Rénergie Yeux Multiple Lift
  
• Palgantong Theatrical Powder (Pearl Beige)
• L'oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara (Black)
• Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
• Canmake Powder Cheeks PW20
• K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner 01 Black
• Lancôme Le Crayon Sourcils (Brun)
  
• Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen

*Note: Products highlighted are provided by beauty company for review purpose.

As you can see, I didn't use many products for this look. Everything was kept fairly simple.

BB Cream, is a must. Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF30 PA++ does the job for achieving flawless complexion. Palgantong Theatrical Powder (Pearl Beige) is lightly applied to set the makeup for that lovely glow.

To conceal my dark eye circles, I used the illuminator part of Lancôme Rénergie Yeux Multiple Lift.

Lancôme Le Crayon Sourcils (Brun).

No eyeshadow was used. Using K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner 01 Black, I drew thinly, as close to the (upper) lashline as possible (slightly winged out at the end). For my right eye, I drew a lil' thicker to balance out the eye look. I lined the lower lashline,with Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen.

Only 1 coat of L'oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara (Black) was used for my upper and lower lashes, to naturally define 'em. I did curl my lashes beforehand, just that the mascara didn't hold the curls well :/

I merely smeared on Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, for a light sheen on my lips. To finish the look, I used Canmake Powder Cheeks PW20 for a natural pink flush on my cheeks.

감사합니다 Kamsahamnida! That's all for now.

Marina Bay Sands (MBS), here I come !

Last last friday, I attended Secretive's "Diamond Sparkle VIP Party" together with Ryna and Jessie.

Inside MBS. We were at Tower One btw.

The bathroom is HUMONGOUS ! I literally gasped when I saw the bathroom (X

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). Mag (makeupstash) and Iris (rougedeluxe) were in attendance as well.

Now, you know what I mean by HUMONGOUS ? There's a bathtub as well ! The size of the bathroom bigger than the hotel room I stayed in HK =.=

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). Jessie, yours truly and Ryna.

Hmm I didn't really try out much of the products. Later you'll know why x: I caught a whiff of ElishaCoy Milk Cacao Black Sugar Scrub and the cacao smell was very distinct indeed. An uncanny resemblance to Nutella XD

Tried the ElishaCoy BB All-In-One Cleanser as well. It foams well and I love the hint of floral scent.

My OOTD. Diamond/Sparkle is the theme.

The makeup vanity case filled with goodies.

And, we were told to choose one ! *Happy* So hard to choose ! *Confused*

This kept me busy for quite awhile long :p

Me love blings !

And, ribbons !

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). That's me, busy decorating.

Look at the erm.. mess we created x:

Guess which one is my masterpiece ? ^^v

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). Can someone teach me how to photoshop ? PLS.

(Credits to Lush Beauty FB Fan Page). SERIOUSLY.

(Credits to Ryna). Absolutely love this photo ! ♥

Goodie bag consisting of:

• SexyLook Extra Brightening Duo Lifting mask (5pc/box)
• Elishacoy Limited Edition Special BB Set

 

The bling-bling lashes I chose :p

Thanks Lush Beauty for the warm hospitality and the wonderful goodie bag (I ♥ sheet masks and BB creams) ! It was truly an enjoyable night and I look forward to more bloggers' events like this ! Till then (:

 

After the event ended, we proceeded to Beanstro for the usual caffeine fix. More atas than Coffeebean in a sense, which simply means you'll be charged for 10% service charge and 7% GST. How nice =.=

Mocha Latte for me, this time.

My LOTD was pretty much Indie-inspired, mainly b'coz of the colors used. MAC Mineralize e/s "It's a Miracle" (Magic, Mirth & Mischief collection).

Temptalia described the color as a rich, jewel-toned purple with golden shimmer combined with a crescent of glittery gold.

Eyes:

• MAC Mineralize e/s "It's a Miracle"
• Nature Republic Star Prism e/s SWH004 Sparkle Silver
• L'oreal Chrome Intensity Eye Palette (Timeless Green)
  

• Anna Sui Eyeliner Pencil WP 900
  

• Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
• Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara - Black

• Maybelline Perfect Concealer 01
  

 

That's all for now (:

 

*Note: Products highlighted are sponsored for review purposes.

For this LOTD, I used..

• Lioele Real Crystal Powder Pact no.2
• Anna Sui Rouge G 701
• Burt's Bees Medicated Lip Balm
• L'oreal Chrome Intensity Palette - Aquadisiac
• Lancôme Blush Subtil - Rose
• Etude House Eye Glow Pencil 2
  
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
• Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara - Black
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• Maybelline Perfect Concealer 01
• Sana Naginata Eyebrow 03 Honey

 

Oh FYI, my lenses are EOS Flower Pink series (:

I've been pretty busy (lazy) nowadays, hence the lack of LOTD updates. My usual LOTD is simple -> BB cream + Eyeliner + Eyebrow + Blush + Lipbalm. That's it. When I feel like it, I'll do smoky eyes *laughs* xD

A close-up of my eye makeup. FYI, I'm wearing EOS Super Hyper Nudy Pink lenses from Barbie-Shoppu. I bought in total 3 pairs, all pink but different designs. The Super Neon Pink look pretty scary on me (I think), reminds me of Halloween :/ I bought the Flower Pink as well. My lil' sis also bought 3 pairs since there was a Buy 5 Get 1 promotion.

What did I use for the smoky eye effect ? This eyeshadow looks familiar eh ? :p

See the gorgeous color swatch ! It's Nature Republic Prism Star Eyeshadow BK904 Golden Gray (: I seriously like this series of eyeshadows alot. If you're interested, do drop by any Nature Republic outlets coz they're having a BOGO promotion (excluding the newly launched) till 30 Nov (If the info given to me by the salesguy is correct).

The color is a beautiful soft dark gray with golden micro-shimmers. The pigmentation is pretty good, super value for $ IMO. FYI, I layered this eyeshadow over Stage 04 Pewter Performance Eye Liner. For the rest of my eye makeup, I used Majolica Majorca Shadow Customize WT963, L'oreal Waterproof Voluminous (Black), Etude House Glow Pencil 2 & K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow 24h 01.

Burt's Bees Medicated Lip Balm for my lips. Shu Uemura Glow On P Peach 40 for the cheeks.

Bio-essence Aqua BB Cream & Kevin Beautymaker Tranexamic Acid Whitening Pressed Powder no.3 Natural for the face.

Camwhorin' photos to end this post :x

When I'm angry, I look like this ? LOL lame XD

Sometime back, I was tagged by poutylips09 to list out my top 6 lip products. So here I am, sharing with y'all my favourites (as of now). Not in order of preference btw.

ZA Plumper Lips 01 Ruby Dazzle. I'm glad that I bought this new ZA lippy (@ Watsons) as I love it so much ! First of all, the price is wallet-friendly (sets you back @ just $13.90). Next, the lippy is moisturizing for my dry lips as it contains fill-up collagen. What I love most about this lippy is that it makes my lips look plumper & fuller (plump-up pearl) ! The lipstick color looks quite richly pigmented (from the tube itself) but when applied on lips, the finish is rich yet natural. It is perfect for those who prefer natural-looking lip colors. Easy to apply, and it helps that the lippy shape fits my lips pretty well. The texture is buttery, and it literally glides on my lips without tugging 'em (: No stickiness whatsoever, just pure comfort !

As you can see, there's not much visible lip lines and that my lips look smooth and oh-so-kissable (LOL). Oh ya, I love the ruby color as well as the colorful micro-shimmers. Mauvish kind of color. It's so me, I like ! The pretty pink sleek packaging is an added bonus, definitely :D Now, I'm lemming to get other colors ! Try it and you'll know what I mean :p

My kind of RED. L'oreal Color Riche 643 Red Passion. CLICK HERE

Juicy Glossy. Mac Venomous Villains Lipglass (Wicked Ways). CLICK HERE

Something Different. MUFE Lab Shine Metal Collection (M0 Onyx). CLICK HERE

Must-have. Mentholatum Mogitate Strawberry Lipbalm. CLICK HERE

My Need. Burt's Bees Medicated Lipbalm with Clove Oil. CLICK HERE

 

Those highlighted in PINK were given to me for review purposes. The rest are bought with my own $.

This is Part 1 of collective hauls over several months. I'll just let the pictures do all most of the talking (:

MAC face brushes I bought @ Sephora Ion after seeing Christie getting 'em :D Umm.. I haven't start using as yet.

Comes in a chic black brush casing.

Candydoll Highlight (light purple) I bought from Shoponblog (previous owner).

Beauty Credit Lovely Q10 Foundation Moist and free samples ! Bought it @ Jurong Point just to try since it's on 50% discount :p

I bought this as well, Beauty Credit Nail Polish. To me, it seems to be holographic ? Pretty blue, isn't it ?

Muji Blushers I bought from Muji Ion. I guess only that oulet has the makeup section ? I don't see 'em @ other outlets. Do correct me if I'm wrong (: The pink one with swirls, is more pigmented. The shimmery orangey one is more for highlighting, not pigmented -.- The packaging does remind me of Shu Uemura, yes ?

Muji Eyeshadow Palette. I chose this neutral one and it was well pigmented for the low price tag ($13.90 I think). I did a LOTD using this sometime back, you may wanna take a look. There are other colors to choose from, eg. blue, green etc.

Urban Decay Nail Polish set I bought @ $25. I saw this selling @ $45 after I bought for a few days :D Now, I think it's sold out already ? Pretty value for $ for 7 nail polishes ! Less than $4 each ! All thanks to Iris (Rougedeluxe) for the heads up (:

Ardell Fake Human Lashes. I haven't tried this brand lashes before. Notice that the lash band is transparent ? Ooo hope this looks good on me :p

Yes Burt's Bees again. Lip Balm again. Nourishing sounds good. Mango butter sounds yummy :x The beeswax sounds interesting. Fantastic reasons to buy & try eh !

Hmm I bought this Sephora Smoothing Primer since it mattifies my skin well and make it smooth for foundation powder application. After hearing Chantana saying that it contains alot of parabens, I don't know if I should use it -_-" Ignorance is bliss, not ?

I just bought this so that I can use Sephora voucher to offset the purchase. Sephora nano pencil. I remember the color is dark steel gray if I'm not wrong :x Btw it's mini size, something like those GWP size you know. $9, not exactly cheap -.-

Here's the LOTD featuring both the MUFE Lab Shine Metal Collection M0 Onyx and Star Collection S8 Ruby Red.

I bought this Kose Black Mask because of BOGO (Buy One Get One), shared with my lil' sis. I've been using this since many years ago and one tube can last for a long time :D It can remove the face impurities as well as fine facial hairs :p For more stubborn blackheads/whiteheads, nosepacks are still the best ! They work miracles !

Btw one tube is with the box packaging, one without. Hahas I'm so random XD~

Hmm BOGO also. Buy the Dejavu Fibrewig Extra (length) or the Lash Knockout (volume),and get the "old" Fibrewig free -.- All their mascaras are easily washed off using warm water.

Free full size skincare products given to me for.. *secret* Anyway, I've not seen this Korean skincare brand - C.A.D before. Hmm..

Garnier oil control whitening cream (free gentle clarifying foam, perfect fit & relax whitening mask) set. I bought this sometime back with Candy @ NAC Watsons.

Kracie Mask @ $1.95 each, that's why I bought @ Bedok Central Watsons ^^

Super regretful buy ! $9.90, so expensive though it's Darkness brand :/ Plaza Singapura John Little is selling for $5.90 only ! I can buy 2 of these :/

Non mu-related buys. Shoes @ fabulous discounted prices from 313 New Look ! This was only $13.90 I think, comfy girlie flats I like :p

So far I like their shoes pretty much, recommended by my dear girl friend :D

Not from New Look. Bought this @ a pinky girlie shop (Wisma Atria) near BHG. High heels but it's doesn't hurt my feet much, to my delight (:

That's all for now. Part 2 coming up ♥

this is a continual haul post from here. just a suggestion, i really seriously hope that there's a 'auto-save' function so that there's no risk of losing the blog contents when i accidentally click the wrong button. do y'all experience the same problem as me ? i know of one though :p you know who you are heez~ it gets pretty annoying since i can't blame anyone but myself. oh well back to happy haul/food post :D

say hi to my very first mac dazzleglass - date night (soft blue purple with pearl) ! there's alot who are not fond of the stickiness of mac glosses. well, i don't really mind as i simply love the signature mac vanilla aroma :3

lipcolour that dazzles with light and shine to bring an exciting dimensional pop to your lips. large particle pearls reflect and refract light to mimic the brilliance of quartz and opal crystal. provides exceptional shine with a crystalline iridescence. non-sticky, non-tacky, lightweight and moisturizing.

i wonder if the non-sticky part is true. hmm haven't try yet :x

burt's bees medicated lip balm with clove oil.

this soothing medicated lip balm provides quick relief to severely dry lips. camphor and menthol provide a cooling sensation to temporarily relieve chapped lips while rich emollient natural oils moisturise dry lips, leaving them feeling smooth and healthy.

clove oil — eugenia caryophyllus. extracted from the buds of an aromatic tropical evergreen and has warming, antiseptic, and disinfectant properties.

it moisturises my dry chapped lips instantly. fyi my lips can be dry to the extent of bleeding. it has a slight medicated aroma which i like and i love the cool menthol feel on my lips. most importantly, i don't find myself licking my lips after applying this lip balm (for obvious reasons hahas) which is a good thing :D
