Luvverlyn

Collective hauls (blush/highlight/contour/bronzer + MAC) over a couple of months. Most of 'em are untouched as of now. My blush collection alone is growing. Not a healthy sign for the wallet eh.

Will feature some of 'em bit by bit in separate posts. Here's a overview for now. There's Canmake, Jill Stuart (my 1st!), AC Cosmetics, Melliesh, Kose Cosmagic, Kose Visee (Thanks Elaine for gifting me this & opening the Bonjour spree.), Celebous Gelina.

Bourjois. An uncanny resemblance to Chanel ones yea?

Here are the Chanel ones. Gotten one of 'em from Elaine via tweet sale :D

NARS (my 1st! Linnera's blog sale), Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Barry M (my 1st!), Illamasqua, Urban Decay (my 1st!), Physician Formula (my 1st! Michelle's sg_beauty sale), Make Up For Ever (my 1st! Hazel's blog sale), Hourglass (my 1st!).

Just look at how beautiful the Lancôme one is! Limited edition ♥

Misc MAC stuff - e/s, MSF, blush.

 

That's all for now. Will include swatches in separate posts. Thanks for looking! (:

Here are some makeup stuff I'd bought weeks/months(?) back. And judging from the LOTD photos later, it's clearly a super dated LOTD. Later, you'll know why.. (:

 

1st up, Maybelline Spring Blossoms 2011 Collection Pure Mineral Two-Way Cake Foundation. 1 sold in every minute in Japan! WOW impressive!

Honestly speaking, I was really surprised that Maybelline came up with such a kawaii-looking casing. Guess Maybelline is keeping up with the kawaii trend after the limited edition Hello Kitty Volum' Express Mascara? Well, I ain't complaining. I do wish Maybelline have more & more kawaii products coming up! A good example will be the newly launched Baby Lips Lip Balms, don't ya agree?

This two-way foundation is developed in Japan for Asian skin! *Yipee!~*

• Breathable Coverage (lightweight micro-minerals that give you a smooth finish without clogging your pores)
• More Hydrated Skin (contain 100% moisturized micro-mineral pigments & other natural moisturizing agents that refine fines too)
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin (no preservatives, fragrances or oils)

 

I was totally sucked in by the oh-so-pretty limited edition casing! Well, I love almost everything that's pink.. teehee~ ♥ And, after I bought this.. I managed to "convince" my lil' sis to buy this well! Hmm.. She loves pink too..So yups :D

Me super love this pink bling! ♥ $19.90 is such a steal seriously..

Peel off the plastic sheet and stick the adhesive part onto the casing.

I chose the shade OC-1.. a bit yellowish for me.. PO-1 will be better? More pinkish..

I will recommend this for those who prefer a light coverage powder foundation. I love the fact that the powder feels light and silky smooth on my skin. If you want more coverage, just apply a thin layer of foundation before using this powder. I'd tried before and it didn't make my face look cakey.

Canmake Nudy Glow Rouge, obviously not new in the market. I'm quite late in getting these.. Better be late than never :x

It's so hard to choose! It took me quite sometime to finally settle on these two: 02 Strawberry Whip & 06 Peach Milk.

See how pigmented they are?

Strawberry Whipped lips :3

The glosses have great pigmentation and they don't feel sticky on my lips at all despite the thick consistency. The overall look is milky nude glossy lips without any distinct shimmery bits. My lips feel plumper and moisturized thanks to the moisturizing agents (sodium hyaluronate, atelocollagen, royal jelly extract, rosemary extract, oriental wormwood extract, loquat leaf extract) & volumizing complex ♥

Don't apply on chapped lips as these glosses will accentuate the dryness which ain't a pretty sight. I would say it'll look gross?

The Body Shop "Brush with Fashion" Limited Collection For Eyes 02 A La Mode.

"This eye palette features three pearlescent shades in silver, white and pink, and a matte black. It includes a mini Eye Definer in 01 Black and features collectable packaging designed by London College of Fashion."

This is part of TBS haul I'd gotten awhile ago.

My favorite is the silver color!

Swatches with just one swipe. I guess the black e/s have to be used wet? Coz it isn't pigmented at all -.-

I've problem with the pink e/s or izzit my problem? It ain't showing well on me.. *sad*

I like the intensity of the silver e/s as well as the white e/s which imparts a pretty soft glow on my brow bone area. See the pink e/s "refuse" to look pink on me >.<

See what I mean by super dated LOTD? The ugly spot above my lips. Now, it's no longer around thanks to the facial and skincare I've been using!

Face:

• Maybelline Pure Mineral Two-Way Cake Foundation OC-1
• Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach
  

 

Eyes:

• The Body Shop "Brush with Fashion" Limited Collection For Eyes 02 A La Mode
• Dolly Wink Volume Mascara

 

Lips:

• Canmake Nudy Glow Rouge 02 Strawberry Whip

I've been reaching out to colored eyeliners recently. For this LOTD, no eyeshadow was used. Everything was kept simple, with just merely 1 coat of mascara. I'm not pleased with the foundation I used; made my face super fair (in a bad way). Hence, the lack of full-face photo.

The products I used for this LOTD:

• Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil 10 Cool Blue
  
• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (Covet)
  
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
  
• Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach
  
• The Face Shop White Tree EX White Two Way Pact SPF30 PA++ NB23
  
• Shills Magic Foundation EGF 5 in 1 Foundation Mousse
• ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara

The name of this LOTD came into my mind instantly when I was thinking of what to call it.

Somehow there's a clash in the colors used? :3

Photos were taken after more than 10 hours, with me blotting only twice.

Products used:

• KATE Dual Blend Eyeshadow GN-1
  
• Canmake Metallic Eyes (shimmery golden brown, which I thought was olive green initially)
• Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++ No.21
• Stage Wonderluxe Lipstick 01 Naughty Nude
• KATE Long Gel Mascara
  
• Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
  
• The Face Shop White Tree EX White Two Way Pact SPF30 PA++ NB23
  
• KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
  
• Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach
  
• Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil 10 Cool Blue
  
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (Covet)
• Stage Kohl Pencil 01 Karma

And so, there's really a distinct difference not using the KATE Mascara Base :s

My favorite time of the day is night, when the moonlight shines. I super dislike the blazing sunlight, seriously. A big NO-NO to sun-tanning for me.

See how beautiful Singapore is at night...... (◕‿◕ ✿)

Just captured a few shots since my camera's battery was dying. Hmm.. do excuse the slightly blur photos (:

LOTD time ♥

It was a night of SUPER FULL makeup for me since I was gonna club with my friends. It had been quite awhile since I clubbed! AGE is definitely catching up on me. I no longer have the urge to club as frequently as before. Ahh.. I can't believe I'll be hitting my 30s in just a few years' time T^T

My OOTD. A flowy bling-bling top & MNG black fitted short skirt.

I camwhored ALOT coz I simply love this LOTD very much xD ♥

Well, me and my excuses :x AHEMS.

Dazzling shimmery eyes accompanied with pink flushed cheeks and nudey pink lips.

A close-up on my LOTD ♥

Sephora Perfection Primer, followed by Lancôme Teint Miracle Foundation PO-3. Coffret D'or Beauty Essence Pact to set the foundation. My cheeks -> Red Earth Cheeky Flirt (Foxy Lady) x Melliesh Cheek Color 02 Baby Peach. To highlight my face, I used MAC MSF (By Candlelight).

My eye makeup is achieved with Lunasol Nature Color Eyes in 01 Nature Blue, which I used in a LOTD last year. Prior using the eyeshadow palette, I used Benefit Stay Don't Stray to prime my eye area. On my entire eye area, I applied the shimmery light yellow color (Lunasol) and then the shimmery light mint color (Lunasol) on the lids. For upper and bottom lashline, I used the cool brown color (Lunasol) to define my eyes. As for the inner corners of my eyes, I used the shimmery light yellow color (Lunasol) again. Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow #3 Grey Black for my brows. My trusty L'oreal SuperLiner (black) for my all-time favorite winged eye look ♥

And, I'm happy to announce I'd found another HG mascara combination (apart from my all-time favorite Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl x Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara combi). Do note that I've the habit to curl my lashes before using mascara, which I did in this case. I wasn't born with beautifully curled lashes (:

My lashes look UBER DOLLY-LIKE, yes-yes?? Super volumized, lengthened, black. NO-NO, I wasn't wearing fake lashes!

And so, my new HG mascara combination is:

ZA Cutie Curl Volume Mascara x Dolly Wink Volume Mascara!!

Lips -> Heavy Rotation Lip Concealer x Melliesh Lip Gloss 02 Baby Doll.

After which, my camera's battery died :,/

Using my lousy iPhone camera function which simply can't take decent night photos, here are the few okay photos. No clubbing photos, ya know why =.=

Me and my friends wanted to go Butterfactory BUT it was FULL HOUSE :/ So, we went to a random bar to drink something 1st. Actually I wasn't too keen on clubbing that night. I just wanna laze at home as usual, watching random movies online. My 2 pretty friends wanted me to join 'em and I had to give 'em face. I'm one who easily gives in :s

And, I gotta know 2 new guy friends that night. AND again, I was the oldest among 'em. Thanks really ar. The 86s and 87s =.= Glad that it was truly a fun night afterall.

Hmm.. these chicken wings not nice at all :s I enjoyed eating the sweet crunchy celery and carrot sticks though.

They ordered Erdinger, one of my favorite beers.

Oh ya, we were at OverEasy. The guys had a friend working there, hence we had discount on our orders :p

My Strawberry Margarita which tasted not so bad BUT I still prefer Cafe Iguana's!

And so, after OverEasy, we headed to Shanghai Dolly. That was my 1st time. Had Martell on the rock, more beer, red bull vodka. Didn't drink-drank-drunk, thankfully. BUT KJ said I did doze off for 10mins...... which I had no idea at all. At least, I remembered mostly what happened. My friends were gone by then :x Uber happening night, I must say. I think I won't be clubbing for quite sometime? Till then ♥

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:

Any questions, feel free to comment. I won't bite.

I look nothing like Tsubasa Masuwaka, seriously. It will be fabulous if I do. *dreaming*

I didn't use this coz I don't own it. After much deliberation, I decided not to get it. Maybe I'll change my mind if I spot a good buy? :p

For face, I used Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream, with Sephora Perfection Primer as the highlighting makeup base. I love how the primer evens out my complexion, imparting a beautiful radiant shine on my face. It is also much easier to apply makeup and my makeup just last for practically the whole day. Yes, that's me after a long day (since morning). Notice I seldom didn't use concealer for quite awhile?

On my cheeks, is a lovely mix of Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek PK301 Peach Macaroon & PK303 Strawberry Macaroon. Yes, I caved in. Initially, I didn't wanna get 'em coz I think the colors are BLAH. After reading random blogs featuring these lovelies, I couldn't help but go "take a look" again. Well, I decided to get 'em after the MJ counter lady brushed the cheek color(s) on me. Thought of just getting just one at first. Hmm.. I couldn't decide so I got both :p AND then, I wanted to get OR302 Apricot Macaroon to complete the collection.. BUT it was OOS so I went on a quest looking for it. SO, did I manage to get it in the end? I'll let ya know in my Majolica Majorca Chapter 30: Sugary Trap collective haul entry :x

Umm.. pardon my messy brows. I used Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow #3 Grey Black to fill my brows. I first applied Benefit Stay Don't Stray (the sample I got from my Benefit Haul), then Majolica Majorca Majolook EyeShadow Palette RS354 (light pink). I like the Benefit Stay Don't Stray coz my eye makeup stayed vibrant and there wasn't any creasing at all. So far so good.

On my lids, I applied L'oreal Chrome Intensity Aquadisiac (teal color). For bottom lashline, I used the purplish pink color from Majolica Majorca Majolook EyeShadow Palette RS354. Majolica Majorca Majolook EyeShadow Palette RS354 (medium pink) for the inner corners.

Dolly Wink Volume Mascara to pimp the lashes :p I used liquid eyeliner this time, L'oreal SuperLiner (black).

Oh yes, the lips! Melliesh Lip Gloss 02 Baby Doll ♥

THE END. Thanks for reading! ♥xoxo

I'm back with a dated LOTD. Do I look dolly? Don't puke :s

Here's a not-dolly-at-all me to "brighten" up your day, perhaps? That's my usual naked lips btw.

For my eye makeup, I used a $2 eyeshadow I got from a shop at Nanairo (Liang Court). I went there with Chantana after the MAC Private Sale, and got myself several items. Shall blog about it soon :x

Here's the $2 eyeshadow I used.

My least favorite color will be the light blue one. When used, there wasn't any distinct difference between this and the blue-ish green one. White is my favorite coz it has a subtle shimmer; not overly shimmery/glittery kind. The dark blue isn't intense at all. Overall, the color payoff is decent. Using an eye primer will be good.

Swatched many layers. For just $2, I can't expect that much right?

Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer was used prior layering the eyeshadow colors. For $2, I would say it's a rather decent eyeshadow.

My dolly pink cheeks, thanks to Melliesh!

Melliesh 02 Baby Peach. The color doesn't look peachy at all.

A very light dolly pink. ♥

Milky pink lips, also thanks to Melliesh!

Melliesh Lip Gloss 02 Baby Doll. The color is slightly mauve-ish.

Love the color!

 

Rest of the makeup products I used for this LOTD:

• Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream
• Coffret D'or Beauty Essence Pact
• MAC MSF (By Candlelight)
  
• Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow #3 Grey Black
  
• Dolly Wink Volume Mascara

That's all for now. Thanks for reading. (:

I did a lil' introduction about Dolly Wink couple of days ago.

Here's Tsubasa Masuwaka, looking incredibly dolly and sweet-looking.

Here's a lil' booklet about Dolly Wink, found at Watsons. And, I'm gonna share with you its contents......

The pages can be removed, see the dotted lines at the side of the page? Reminds me of postcards. ^^

How can I possibly miss out this Volume Mascara! :p The polka dottie packaging is so kawaii, with the wonderful color combination of purple & turquoise! Retails for $29.90.

And it claims that one can get Defined, Luscious Dolly Lashes using this Volume Mascara. REALLY?

I bought this mascara as it has this unique tapered brush shape designed for lower lashes, defining & volumizing 'em for a pretty dolly eye look! Non-clumping. And, I ♥ the smaller pointy tip at the end of brush coz it allows me to brush on mascara on lower lashes so easily. The pointy tip can also reach hard-to-reach lashes at the inner eye area without ruining my eye makeup. Waterproof; so no smudging or unsightly fall-outs. My lashes were kept curled all day long. More than 12 hours in fact. Yes, I did curl my lashes beforehand. The mascara is easy to remove, using my favorite ZA cleansing oil. No lash loss during the process of cleansing.

My BARE-LY there lashes, especially the bottom ones.

2 coats of mascara for the top lashes is more than enough! I only brush on 1 coat for the lower lashes. (:

NO FAKE LASHES NEEDED. A MASCARA REVIEW WITH FAKE LASHES IS SIMPLY BULLSHIT, DON'T YA AGREE? WHO'LL BELIEVE IN THE EFFICACY OF THE MASCARA FOR GOODNESS SAKE? WELL, I'VE COME ACROSS SUCH "REVIEW(S)". SIMPLY SPEECHLESS. YUCKS!

Here's my simple eye makeup look. Will blog about this LOTD soon, and my lil' Melliesh teaser haul below. Umm.. I've been a good girl so far? :x

Did you get anything from Dolly Wink so far? If YES, what did you get? If NO, are you convinced to get the mascara after reading my review? (:
