Get gorgeously tanned

Yet another beauty kit from Too Faced. This time round its their bronzer that got me excited. The cover itself is way too sexy for me to resist, with pin up girls posing in sultry styles. Accompanied with unique names that are easy to remember.Snow Bunny is a combination of 4 colours, and like its name, it give a very light, glowy, bronzing effect. Act as a winter bronzer.

Pink Leopard has got to be my favorite. I'm known to like anything under the sun which has something to do with leopard spots. Moreover, this is a PINK leopard, ahh.. adding more plus points. As the name goes, this bronzer brings a little pink out in you. I would say, the final swatch look like a combination of red and brown.

Lastly, Sun Bunny. Sun Bunny gives you the idea of someone spending hours under the sun, getting the right tanned. So, you can expect that this is the only bronzer that is much more bronze as compared to the other two. In fact, it is the best bronzer used for contouring.

With these 3, you need not worry about getting a perfect tan, even on rainy days. Being pretty from home is definitely a pleasure.

Swatches were done, and its for you to judge how pretty these bronzers are.

P.S. I've been using Snow Bunny lately as my blusher. I can't resist.

Eyeliner No more!

I've always believe that eyeliner helps to give more definition to my eyes, and also perk it up. In fact, I thought without it, I will always have that sleepy look, because of my droopy eyes. And then, with many experiments, I found out that gold itself not only is a good highlight, but also give energy to one's eyes.It gives a fresh and neat look. Now I'm more confident to be out without a tinge of eyeliner. Yipee!

My Clarins Treat

Got to know about this wonderful promotion a few days back through an e-mail. I signed up for it immediately. Clarins is a well known brand, but due to its price, I've always steer myself away from it. Yet, reading reviews after reviews, I can't help but wish that I can purchase something for facial sake. Of course, I had also wish silently that the price of their items will be something I can afford.

And so, I guess, prayers were all heard. They are now giving you a chance to try their products for FREE. Yup, you heard me right. Choose your product that you want, and you can have it for a 10 days trial, without needing to pay a single cents.

So, you may say, there are no free lunch in this world. But for makeup sake, I'll not lie. Above are
the proof of what I got. Of course, 1 person is only entitled to 1 product, so I've got my boy's help too.

Just to share with you, what are the 4 freebies that they are offering. Remember, you are only able to try 1 among the 4 products.

Skin Booster- Younger Longer BalmForever Youthful- Extra Firming Day CreamAll Day Shine Control- Ultra Matte Rebalancing LotionFlawless Brightness- Protective Whitening Day Lotion SPF PA 20++
I chose Forever Youthful and Skin Booster. I'm glad that their philosophy is "Try Before You Buy".

Have you gotten your treats yet? If you are interested, drop me a mail, so that I can send you the link to enjoy this privilege.

Haul from Victoria Secret

I'm always been crazy on Victoria Secret, and I meant everything from them, including lingerie. I can't help but to swoon over their designs each time. Nevertheless, their makeup are just as sexy. Started using one of their beauty rush lip gloss, and was really happy with it. Shipping it from US is a cheaper way to purchase all these goodies.

When I was looking at their products over at Changi airport the other day, I was telling my sister how expensive it is as compared to ordering from US. In fact, it was a total rip off. Yea, but after all those grumblings, I decided that the temptation was too hard for me to resist, and waiting for those goodies to arrive, will get me impatient. So there it is, my newest haul of makeup.
Splurged on a total of 2 Beauty Rush Luminous shadow, 1 liquid glitter liner, and 1 very voluptuous Lip Plumper.Does this really work? You will find out soon. =) Its available in 2 colors, 1 being colourless, the other is baby pink. I got myself the baby pink instead.

Swatches done, without any base. Taken it with and without flash.From left to right: Bronze Ambition eyeshadow, Glow nude eyeshadow, Teal Zeal eyeliner, and baby pink lip plumper.

I got to promise myself to stop splurging on these anymore. No.More.Shopping.

Getting my brow done

This post is for clueless, who asked on how I normally draw my brows. Initially I wanted to do this tutorial using a video style. But, I was really nervous, that I end up spoiling everything. So its back to square one. By pictures. Still, I hope this helps.

Like I mentioned before, eyebrow will define your final outcome of your look. No matter how much foundation or eyeshadow you slap on, if your eyebrow is not done properly, then, everything else does not matter anymore.

Because I have a round face, an arch eyebrow will give others the illusion of a slimmer face. So, first step is to trim your eyebrow that fit the shape of your face. And because the end of my brow are a little short, so I used an eyebrow pencil and lengthen it slightly. Next, using an angled brush, together with Anna Sui eyebrow powder, I filled in the sparse area. To give it a more natural finish, I blend it lightly towards the end of my brow.Lastly, to keep your eyebrow in place(you wouldn't want any stray brows right?), the makeup market provide you with tons of products such as the eyebrow gel. For me, I would prefer using hairspray. It not only keep your brow in place, it is also cost saving.Just spray a little, and comb your brow.So that is how exactly I draw my brow. It takes only 5 minutes to get it done.

Lastly, look for the day. This look consist of:

Face: Lancome Foundation
Makeup Store 3wheel concealer
Covermark Moisture Veil
Too Faced The Bronzed and The Beautiful- Mini Pink Leopard Bronzer

Eyes: Anna Sui Eyebrow powder
Christian Dior Eyeshow- black
Urban Decay Oil Slicks
Victoria Secret Teal Glitter eyeliner
Body Shop white eyeliner
Benefit Bad Girl Lash

Lips: Victoria Secret Lip Plumper- Baby Pink

Halloween Night

Hi peeps, how was your Halloween? Mine was bloody wild (pun intended =p). Anyhoo, this was me on that crazy night out. I was a fallen angel. All thanks to Sarah, I've gotten myself a very large and bloody slash across my neck. That was how I died. Share with me about how your Halloween went, ya?

Too Faced Baked Eyeshadow

This has got to be one of the most beautiful makeup I ever own. Looking just like the milky way, I can't help but to look at it for the longest time every. And the best part is that, when you placed this in different angle, you can actually see a sheen reflecting pink, which you can't see from this picture.The top lid is a magnifying glass, which is interesting. This Super Nova eyeshadow is created to give you a smoky look. So, filled with excitement, I went to do a swatch.

To tell the truth, I expected to see both the gold and black to appear. But with one light touch horizontally, all I got was just charcoal black. Unsatisfied, I tried again. And still the same colour. So I decided to just touch on the gold part instead. But what do you know? Its still black, except that, it is lighter.

Well, I guess that is what you get if you want a smoky look. Black. I tried doing swatches on my hand using MAC paint pot and UDPP as base. This is the result.From left to right, I used Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC paint pot "Painterly" and no base. I would say, using MAC paint pot will get you the best result. Without any base, the colour looked like dirt, and I believe, its gonna make you look messy. UDPP just gets a matte black. However, with MAC, that was different. At least for me, I get to see this light pink reflecting each time I move my hand in different angle under light. What about you?
