It was a random look I did on a random night. I guess I was feeling kinda bored... So yea...

To even out my complexion, I use Ludifull Magic Cover BB Cream and L'egere Mineral Makeup Finishing Powder (to set).

The main greens are:- Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream #22 Emerald Green & MAC Liquidlast Liner in Greenplay. The very intense-looking black is Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner #1 Black Ink. It literally looks like black ink, no?

I draw the usual wing-ed out look with Emerald Green, using a liner brush. Then, I layer on Greenplay. I line Black Ink as close to the lashline as possible. Cyber Colors Ex Volume Waterproof Mascara in Black for lush looking lashes. The black is so intense, I like! Mitchy matchy with Black Ink :D

On a side note, Feb is ending in a blink of an eye. Looking forward to March (:

This time, my review is featured @ Sasa outlets (along with Xinyi)! I haven't check it out myself yet... hehehe~ *happy mode*

Thanks Kiyora for the tweet pic... AND featuring my review :D

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)...

Part 2 will be coming up soon (all skincare products I think)...

Any review request? Let me know (:

Here's the smoky look I did, using DOT DOT Smoky Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette (featured HERE).

The close-up eye look, without mascara. I filled my brow gaps using Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771.

No eye primer was used. I used deep chocolate brown (cream) from the DOT DOT palette (as the lid base), and layered on the darkest brown from Lavshuca Star Decoration Eyes BR-2. Then, I applied the medium brown (Lavshuca) on the eye contour, and dusted the gold shimmer shade (DOT DOT) over it.

Using the pearl white shimmer (DOT DOT) & the lightest brown (Lavshuca), I used 'em to highlight brow bone, inner corner of eye & dust some onto 1/3 of the inner lower lashline.

I lined about 1/3 of the outer lower lashline, using K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner (Black). Then, I layered on the darkest brown (Lavshuca). Using the same eyeliner, I lined the upper lashline and extended it beyond the lashline.

I curled my lashes and applied 3 layers of Cyber Colors Ex Volume Waterproof Mascara in Black (1 layer for my lower lashes).

YES, 3! I coat them fast enough, to avoid clumps. So, the key is to work your wand fast! (CLICK HERE for review)

Again, I used Maybelline Moisture Extreme 914 Iced Peach Tea for my lips.

Works well with the smoky look, no?

For my face, I used Sasa HD Perfect Foundation 02 Warm Ivory and Lioele Real Crystal Twin Cake 02. On my cheeks, Canmake Powder Cheeks in PW20. (Forgot to include Murad Skin Perfecting Primer - Matte Finish!)

That's all. Thanks for looking. Have a great week ahead!

As requested by my reader, I'll be doing a tutorial on a smoky look featuring L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in 022 Emerald Lame.

Other products used for this LOTD:

• Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes PK785
• Make Up For Ever HD Blush #8 PDA
• Ettusais Eye Zone Control in Yellow/Beige
• Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl Waterproof Eyeliner 01 Raisin Noir
  
• Lavshuca Star Decoration Eyes BR-2
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• Laneige Natural Pure Foundation No.23 Sand Beige (not in picture)
• Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact 10 Sweet Biscuit (not in picture)

• Chanel Aqualumière Gloss 66 Freeze (not in picture)
• Cyber Colors Ex Volume Waterproof Mascara in Black (not in picture)

 

*Note: Product highlighted is provided by beauty company for review purpose.

On my face, I'd already applied Laneige Natural Pure Foundation No.23 Sand Beige. The foundation has a fairly good coverage, which concealed most of my minor flaws like blemishes and scars. To conceal my dark circles, I used Ettusais Eye Zone Control in Yellow/Beige. A little goes a long way. Too much will accentuate fine lines.

I filled my brow gaps using Lancôme Le Crayon Sourcils Eyebrow Pencil in Brun. Make Up For Ever HD Blush #8 PDA, blended on my cheeks.

• Apply Too Faced Shadow Insurance prior eyeshadow application. Using an eye primer will prevent the eyeshadow from fading and creasing.
• Then, I applied L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in 022 Emerald Lame all over the lid area using my (middle) finger. Alternatively, you can use a brush.
• To define my eyes, I tightlined my upper lashline using Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl Waterproof Eyeliner 01 Raisin Noir. I do the same for 1/3 of my lower lashline (from the outer edge inwards).

 

• I smudged the eyeliner lightly using 7bella 5E 05 Pencil Brush, then use the same brush to apply my favorite taupe brown shade from Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes PK785 on top of the smudged eyeliner. For a more intense look, you can use a darker eyeshadow.
• I define the outer-V using the same taupe brown shade.
• Using 7bella 7S01 Small Highlight Brush, I lightly dusted a mix of the pale gold & light pink shades from Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes PK785 on my brow bone, and blend out the emerald green + taupe brown shades.

 

• I dusted the glittery light pink shade from Lavshuca Star Decoration Eyes BR-2 to highlight the area where my epicanthal fold (with 7bella 3E 01 Eyeliner Brush). I also dusted some above the eye contour.
• Finally, I curled my lashes with Koji eyelash curler no.73 and applied Cyber Colors Ex Volume Waterproof Mascara in Black (a separate review on this). Alternatively, you can use fake lashes.

 

The finished smoky eye look, with mascara-ed lashes.

Dramatic Veil (Bright Up) Face Powder, to set the foundation. Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact 10 Sweet Biscuit, layered above the MUFE HD Blush #8 PDA. Chanel Aqualumière Gloss 66 Freeze - for glossy nude lips.

The primary focus will be on the eyes (:

Hmm.. The look is much more intense in real life, than the pictures shown. Hope you enjoyed the post (:

as above is the haul i've gotten.. not all for myself la :p i've gotten myself dhc blotting lotion & dhc acne whitening gel. now grab 'em at only $50 for 3 for the former & $80 for 3 for the latter.. dhc seldom have discount.. so yups ;) the rest are my lil sista's..

and, these r the samples i managed to get from the dhc rep.. frankly speaking, dhc reps standard r damn horrible.. as compared to fancl's.. 1 of the rep's skin was sooo bad.. i mean reali veryveryvery extremely bad kind.. patchy skin with too-white foundation.. acne scars r literally all over the face +_+ jus bcoz i had a breakout on my chin. she told me i could use dhc acne spot gel to clear the acne.. i told her i bought it already(which i reali did & like it pretty much).. i looked at her & was indeed not convinced that the products she recommend me r gd if i was new to dhc =,= anyways, she kinda ignore me & i jus proceeded on with looking at the dhc products.. another lady serve me.. at least her skin is average though on the matured side.. yea, she was the one who gave me the samples.. i love the salicylic acne wash & face milk samples as i've since used up 2 of them each.. with the help of them & the acne spot gel, my acne is cleared, finally ! it's damn annoying coz it's too bloody big & there's no way i could conceal it =,= i shall buy them when they r on sale :x hahas !

i bought majolica majorca jewel eyes BL711, one of the 3 for $50 buys.. this retails for $27.50 usually.. if u prefer pigmented shades, this is not for u (:

kate metallic color gel liner i bought at m'sia sasa.. for $37ringgit.. gold shade i likeee !

two random buys frm ta zhiang, a shop selling rhomlon makeup, hair accessories, etc.. the colors look reali lovely, yes ? the 1st palette shades r highly pigmented i would say.. $4.90 for 8 colors.. u do the math hahas ! there r other palettes too.. will grab 'em if i like these two.. as for the 2nd palette, there wasn't any testers so i jus bought without trying.. $8.90.. $4 more but i couldn't resist la >,<

kate brown eye liner bought at watsons m'sia.. only $16ringgit :x dhc lash tonic bought at watsons sg.. haven't try yet coz i'm happily using my talika lipocils ^^ cyber colors silver glitter liner at sasa m'sia only $9.90ringgit !! paul & joe's face color bought at sg beauty.. kate deep eyes palette GY-1 at sasa m'sia.. garnier face powder at watsons m'sia $11ringgit only !!

my recent stage haul ! my sis bought a cream concealer, 2 wonderglosses - venus & helen.. i bought gaia & dido.. wonderluxe lippie - naughty nude.. wonderlust lippie - gisele.. $8 each.. free stage nail color - innocent.. choose from 4 shades.. i rem got copper, deep maroon red, mauve.. this is valid for stage members with $45 above purchase.. there's 40% storewide not applicable for certain products eg. accessories etc.. the blusher was bought separately using my $10 voucher before this sale.. so i paid $15.. kinda redundant voucher coz of the 40% discount right now +_+ and ya, if u wanna buy liquid foundation or concealer at 50% discount, pls bring along any used liquid foundation or concealer to get the discount.. only limited to one purchase per customer.. so is either one.. u can bring along ur frens or brothers or boyfriends or whoever if u wanna buy more *winks ;D

mac mineralize eyeshadows - odd couple & fresh green mix.. jill stuart limited ed 101 vintage glaze.. bought at sg beauty.. yes finally, my very first jill stuart makeup !! i love my awesome buys !!

i've been lemming for this foundation powder for the longest time hahas ! finally i got this laneige sliding pact_ex(white plus renew) /bright skin tone 2 at $25 which is abt half the retail price i guess..

unique & effective multi functional pact provides natural coverage & luminous pearlescent complexion. excellent whitening cum long lasting uv protections.
the result: pure, matt, soft and luminant morning time makeup as it is. hope it's reali as awesome as it claims *cross fingers

this one also !! but only left one shade.. and, i bought it anyway :x laneige snow crystal dual foundation in deep beige 33.. for more dark medium skin tones.. umm i figure that i can jus use light tone loose powders over them so yups :x plus, it doesn't reali seem that dark afterall when i tested on.. my hand.. fyi, u r suppose to test on jawline for better accuracy.. oh wells..

this dual foundation has a concealer at the top and a foundation at the bottom. amazing, yes ! the foundation comprises the honey comb structure which conjuncts moisturizing ingredients and brings upon the cross linking complex – a complex that runs moisture like a cobweb, keeping moisture running all day. the result: imperfections like dark circles and blemishes are concealed and skin is kept moist and comfortable all day.

next up, is the laneige skin veil foundation in 21 natural beige.. more suitable for my skin tone.. can't wait to try all of 'em !!

laneige clear-c effector.. it's said to be a booster for transparent skin. to be applied after cleansing using cotton pad or ball every morning & night before skincare. it smells gd :x

laneige waterproof lip & eye makeup cleanser samples.. this dual layer cleanser and remover suits all skin types and effectively removes waterproof and heavy makeup on the lip and eye area.. i stil prefer maybelline or loreal ones.. or the expensive lancome one..

high perm curling mascaras.. i'm not reali liking 'em much yet.. hmm.. the world’s first disc rubber brush.. the brush is perfect for short stubborn lashes which refuse to curl as it comes with insuppressible curling power – curling lashes up to 70 degrees. jelly thickener wax enables lashes to stay flexible and soft while the fixed polymer enhances the mascara’s curling properties by curling and setting the perfect curl all day. umm.. i aint convinced yet..

highly pigmented babies !! i chose these 4 coz i don't wanna get so many :p i tink i'll love 'em pretty much *grins

snow crystal melting glossy lippie in happy pink ! will it make me happieee applying this alone ? hahas hope so.. i love pink !! ;)
