*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! (:

In this post, I'll be sharing my review/thoughts on CandyDoll Base Makeup PLUS a quick LOTD.

A lil' introduction...

Masuwaka Tsubasa is the top Popteens model in Japan, her popularity encouraged many pops fan and teenagers to follow her fashion style and makeup trend. CandyDoll first developed with the Cheek and Lip series followed by Lipstick and Mineral Powder lines. Ms Tsubasa creates all different kind of makeup techniques, styles, looks and trends by using the most basic CandyDoll Color Cosmetics.

 

Makeup Base SPF30

The moisturizing and light texture is our big favorite! Not only it minimizes pores appearance & covers imperfection of skin texture, it provides a good SPF30 against the UV rays, looks dewy and keeps the makeup long lasting for the day.

Liquid Foundation 01 / 02

Use this after the Makeup Base SPF30, the buildable coverage and lightweight liquid foundation delivers a natural flawless complexion.

Concealer 01

This powdery pigmented moisturizing concealer is formulated to hide all kind of skin imperfections and brighten up your eye area.  It fix closely and softly to your skin, giving you a smooth finishing.

Powder Foundation

The incredibly fine texture powder gives a good coverage without feeling too heavy on the skin. Keep your face matte and natural at all times without touchup!

Crystal Face Powder

Formulated with skin friendly mineral powder. This magical powder that is ideal for touch up as well. It covers pores without clogging them. It keeps your makeup fresh throughout the day. Suitable for all skin type. It adds glow and radiance to your skin, giving you a natural and flawless finishing!

 

CandyDoll Makeup Base and Liquid Foundation 02

• Liquid Foundation 02 - beige with yellow undertones
• Makeup Base - opalescent light pink with ultra fine micro-shimmers

 

I mix the Makeup Base with Liquid Foundation (1:2), to neutralize the color (less yellowish). Alternatively, you can apply the Makeup Base then Liquid Foundation.

(1) & (2): Makeup Base + Liquid Foundation (right side of face), bare skin on the left

(3) & (4): Makeup Base + Liquid Foundation (right side of face), Makeup Base on the left

Fyi, I'm sharing my thoughts based on a one-time trial experience (I was provided with 2 sample sachets each).

I like the mix of Makeup Base and Liquid Foundation, as compared to using only the latter. The shade 02 (Liquid Foundation) makes my skin look slightly yellowish. Mixing in the Makeup Base, helps to rectify the "problem". The Makeup Base alone, helps to smooth and luminate the skin by imparting a slight rosy glow. As for the Liquid Foundation, it applies smoothly and has a light coverage (buildable to a light medium coverage).

Together, they help achieve a radiant and naturally dewy even complexion.

 

CandyDoll Crystal Face Powder 01 - Mineral Powder

Masuwaka Tsubasa is super dolly-looking! ♥

The packaging is uber sweet! kawaii-neh~

Comes with a soft velvet powder puff.

The mineral powder is silky and finely milled. It contains very fine micro-shimmers, which makes the skin look naturally luminous without looking like a disco-ball.

The micro-shimmers are so fine, they are barely noticeable. As you can see from the image above, the powder goes on translucent and glowy. Great for setting foundation/BB cream without adding more color to it.

The finished look, with CandyDoll Crystal Face Powder 01. It does help to minimize the look of my pores. The lasting power is average, as I find myself blotting and touching up after about 3-4 hours later.

In this post, I'll be featuring my LOTD (The Day Look) using Too Faced Naked Eye (Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection).

I followed the step-by-step instruction card provided.

• Sweep In The Buff from lashes to brow.
• Press Pillow Talk onto the eyelid.
• Blend Like A Virgin into the crease and outer lashline.

 

On my face, I applied my favorite-of-the-moment Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream (a review coming real soon!). It pretty much covers up my flaws. There isn't any need for a separate concealer unless I want a really full coverage. This coverage is more than enough for me (:

For soft-looking brows, I used Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil Hard 9 Brown 03. For natural-looking lashes, I first applied Etude House Oh~ m'Eye Lash Mascara Base (Petticoat) then 1 coat of Covergirl Professional Remarkable Washable Waterproof Mascara (Very Black).

I used K-Palette Real Lasting 24h Eyeliner in Deep Brown (♥ this color!) to line my upper lashline, extending the line slightly at the end. For my lower lashline, I used Essence Longlasting Eye Pencil 01 BLACK FEVER.

I lightly dust my HG Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand Medium 0-1 only on the T-zone area. For some color on my cheeks, I used my favorite Lavshuca Blush PK-1.

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

The finished look is very neutral, I like :D No regrets on getting the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette!

That will be all. Thanks for looking!

I took a considerable time doing this makeup look. More than an hour, in fact. I spent most of the time doing my eye makeup, ensuring it was wearable enough (before I head out for the Keratinology event).

Yes, I finally used Essence I ♥ ROCK gloss eye pencil! I lined the upper and lower lashline thicker than usual, extending a little beyond the eye. As it was supposed to be subtle and wearable, I didn't make the line thicker towards the outer end. Then, I applied Stila Mineral Matte Eye Shadow in Batura (a dark gray shade) over the liner as it smudges on its own.

For the entire lid area (above the liner) and lower lashline (over the liner), I applied Maquillage VI144 (a lilac shade with silver micro-shimmer bits).

I literally spammed 3 different mascaras for my lashes - Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara (to hold the curls), Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara BK999 (to comb the lashes) & Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara (for volumized and glossy black lashes). That explains the time taken for this look yea. I like to experience with different mascara combi, to achieve my desired look. Some mascaras don't work wonders on its own.

For the eyebrows, I used the Mio Piccolo Automatic Eyebrow Pencil MB. I like how the color looks on me. Sad to say, it ain't long-lasting. I had to briefly touch-up the brows after merely 3 hours. *DOTS DOTS*

For overall contour, I used the bronzer part of Pop Beauty Cheeky Cake in Beach Beauti. I applied that under the cheek bones from the hairline to the apple of cheeks. Next, I applied Alobon Bake Blush 03 over. Finally, I used MAC By Candlelight MSF as a highlight just above the blush/bronzer area.

The base makeup products I used:- Kevin Beautymaker DNA Extreme Whitening Foundation (Natural) & YSL Matt Pressed Powder No.1. I did some minor concealing with Kevin Beautymaker BB Mineral Concealing Cream.

I lightly brushed Kevin Beautymaker Bright Eye Pressed Powder under my eyes, to brighten up my peepers.

Last but not least, Laneige Snow Crystal Moisture Lipstick SYR02 Nude Beige on pre-balmed lips.

Me like this look on me :D

The next LOTD will be for CNY. I'm thinking simple sweet look?

What's gonna be your look for CNY?

How long do you take to do your makeup? If I've got the time to spare, I'll usually take my own sweet time... say an hour or so? And for simple makeup, I'll need at least 15 mins.

This is my kind of simple LOTD (look of the day) for last thursday, when I attended Lancôme media event (that will be covered at a later date). Presentable enough. Nothing elaborate. I was test driving Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream for the day. And yes, I'm lovin' it! (;

This was how I look after 7 hours (blot once in the late noon).

The close-up.

A wash of matte brown over the lids, using Make Up Store Microshadow [Chocolate]. Dejavu Lash Knockout Mascara, for my lashes. Doesn't help much with maintaining the curls. Commendable volumizing effect though.

I like the liner part. Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Mat Black 0L, then a thinly applied Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner over it (as close to the lashline as possible). Extend beyond the lashline.

As for the (smudged out) lower lashline - outer part using MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner [Designer Purple], inner corners using Essence Longlasting Eye Pencil 11 GO WILD.

Okay-thanks-bye! (:

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!

Hello! A random post of random stuff by the random me :D

"Who has the key to my frozen heart?"

Got this River Island (heart padlock) stud earring from ASOS, featured HERE.

 

Am into bright lips recently.

I'm using Maybelline Moisture Extreme 914 Iced Peach Tea, which I got during their sale (4 for $10 I think).

They've sales like these quite often. Best time to stock up. Heh.

TOP: Maybelline Moisture Extreme 914 Iced Peach Tea

BOTTOM: With Chanel Glossimer 109 Big Bang layered above (looks more "juicy" eh?)

 

Went for Sothys [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Treatment (that I'd won in their FB contest), at La Vogue.

Relaxing foot spa before the treatment. *bliss*

The skin peeling didn't cause any skin irritation or whatsoever. My skin had become clearer, brighter & more radiant after the pampering facial treatment.

The therapist was really nice and friendly. No hard-selling involved.

She even gave me discount vouchers ($50 x 2). Let me know if you'll like to have the voucher.

 

Love this uber tasty giant seaweed! *YUMS* :d~

My sis friend got it from Korea!

 

My 1st time @ Piquenique, with Chantana & Jones :D

This cup sure looks familiar... *scroll up*

Jones' scrambled eggs with toast.

Chantana's scrambled eggs with english muffins.

Potatoes, sausages, mushrooms, etc.

I forgot to take a pic of my sausage bun with blue cheese & fries... =.=zzz

The sausage was super normal kind... so disappointed...

The blue cheese taste was super strong... overwhelming in fact!

I like the fries though... But anyway, I don't think I'll go there again...

 

Suki-ya steamboat lunch buffet.

Not much variety. Love the thinly sliced meat (pork, beef, chicken)!

Sukiyaki soup base - sweet, which I don't really like. Kimchi soup base - no kimchi taste!

Cheesy meatball! Super duper niceee! A must-try :d~ *drool*

 

In the past, magazines used to have these fragrance-scented ads... whereby you "lift" the strip up to sniff the fragrance...

Nostalgic much.

Have you bought the latest issue of CLEO? Not a fan of Selena Gomez...

Love the beauty content in the mag though!

 

My sis came back from a long US trip... Will feature her beauty hauls in another post (not much, according to her)...

Quite a fair bit, I would say.

Certainly not mine.

MINE! :D~

 

"Would you bear to eat this?"

 

Ending my random posts with my new eye-candies ♥

Gong Yoo - "Coffee Prince"

He's got a nice bod :p

Almost all Korean stars have nice bods... Tall, at least 1.8m! Small eyes - major ♥! hehehe~

Park Shi Hoo - "Prosecutor Princess"

The K-drama that Chantana had asked me to watch.. b'coz I look like the female lead (Kim So Yeon)... more of the behavior, thinking... definitely not looks... She so skinny and pretty! Well, I finished watching! Nice show, I like (:

I keep aiyo-ing at her actions, behavior and thinking... very naive and such... Her character reminds me of ME!

The ending was good, I like! Heh. Ahh.. I like Park Shi Hoo's charming smile... ♥

It was my first time attempting this look. And.. I like the outcome!

Nothing on my lips as I took the photos after I got home from events.. Dry, cracked lips.. *sigh*

The liner on my waterline got a lil' smudged by then.. after many hours..

Tired look.. =.=

Our fresh-looking faces! Different eye makeup looks for the day.. ^.~v

I'm back with a dated LOTD post! I wore this look for the FORD Supermodel Singapore 2011 Finals. That night, I was wearing this black layered tube dress. Super pretty right?! (esp. the model >.<)

Here's my look. No fake lashes coz I was in a rush. My real lashes ain't THAT bad anyway (lol).

I totally love the radiant look, thanks to Kanebo Freshel White C BB Cream! Will be doing a proper review soon (draft "sitting" in the folder :x). I purchased this earlier this year at Watsons for only $23 I think. An awesome buy indeed. It's in my top must-have BB Creams list!

Have I told y'all that I'm pretty much in love with Illamasqua Blush (Kiss)? It gives me the "after-2.4km-run" slightly flushed cheeks ♥ One needs to be light-handed when applying the blush as it's pretty pigmented. It looks so much better on the face than on the pan! Illamasqua blushers never seem to fail me and I'm definitely lemmin' for moreee!
