[] FOTD - Illamasqua Complement Palette~~[]

 Hey all ~~
hope you had a fantastic weekend. It was beautiful out side yesterday (Saturday) lovely weather. but today is cloudy and windy, a bit chilly so decided to stay home and update my blog post ^^. So here I am ~~


 I know it is Spring now in Australia, but I am really not looking forward to  Summer. I prefer Autumn. So this eyeshadow palette is perfect for autumn, it gives that brown plummy look totally wearable for every day.

 So here's a list of things used for this look:
Face:
- Clinique even better foundation (been using this every day)
- Nars Laguna bronzer
- Nars Oasis blush (love this blush for autumn winter)
- Rimmel Stay matte powder (transparent)

Eyes/Brow:
- Illamasqua Generation Q eyeshadow palette
- Kiss me Heroine eyeliner (liquid)
- Active girl mascara
- MAC brow set in beiguile

Lips:
- Mac Craving lipstick ( LOVE this lipstick !!!)

 Here's another look at the palette, I love the plummy brown eyeshadow. the dark purple one is really nice too.

 Here's the swatch:(left to right)
- Queen of the Night
- Slink
- Focus (liquid metal)
-Forgiveness

 Here's what it looks like: So I used Slink in the inner corners, and brow highlight. Used Focus all over the eyelid for a wash of colour and a base. then I used Forgiveness all over the lid and also all over the lower lashline. Then Queen of nights on the 1/3 outer corner of the eyelid to darker it up. apply the eyeliner and mascara and you are done.

 So here's what it looks like finished. I extended my eyeliner out a bit.

 Need my glasses to see any thing. hahah ~~


Hope you like this look. take cares all have a great weekend. ~~~

[] Feeling Pink~~~ []

Hey all~~
Haven't done a FOTD post in a long time. Thought I would do one with the new Visee Glow Glam Pallete in Pk-1. I'm feeling a bit pink these days.. for some reason.. thought to be a bit more girly...


Here's list of things I used for this FOTD~~~~~~
Face:
- Estee Lauder Double Wear in Desert Beige (got a new bottle because I finished Fresco)
- Laura Mercier mineral powder in Sand ( HG loose powder)
- Rimmel Match Perfect Concealer
- Rimmel Bronzer in 022 Sun bronze
- Mac blush in Fleur Power (used with a stippling brush)

Eyes/Brow:
- Visee Glow Glam Pallete in PK-1
- Mac fluidline in Black
- Lavschuca brow set in LB
- Canmake brow gel in 03 Natural
- Maybelline Magnum Mascara in Black
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance ( forgot to put in the picture)

Lips:
- Estee Lauder Lipstick in Crystal Pink ( This is the old package, they have the new package which looks fabulous but it's the same thing).

Honestly, I think I prefer this lipstick to Mac Angel, I mean this is a very girly pink but it's a buildable colour without being pastel.... like that milky looking pink. And the Estee Lauder lipstick gives that glossy look without gloss and none sticky!!! Highly recommended..!!!

The Visee Glow Glam PK-1 remind me of my Lunasol Pink Coral pallete. So I got it out to do a quick comparison. Photo taken under natural indoor light no flash.

Did a quick swatch of the two palletes. The top 4 colour belongs to Lunasol. the bottom 4 colours belong to Visee. The pink from lunasol is more warm and sheer than visee. and the brown from lunasol is more red than visee. visee's brown is a true brown, where the lunasol is more of a warm copper colour. The gold from lunasol is very yellow, where as the visee's gold is more white.

So here's what the eye make up looks like. Used the gold colour all over lid. and the pink one in the outer half of the lid, also applied along bottom lash line. Apply mac gel eyeliner on top lashes and 1/3 of bottom outer corner. then use the brown colour from the pallete using the sponge tip to apply it over the eyeliner and blend it out. do the same for bottom 1/3 outer corner. Curl the lashes and then apply the Mascara. let it dry then apply second layer. if you want you can keep building.

For face, contour with rimmel bronzer. it's so natural love it !!!. best buy ever. ditched my Nars laguna, probably get that out in the summer. because it's too shimmery right now. then apply Mac's blush in fleur power using stippling blush.
Apply lip stick....... you can apply the Estee Lauder's lipstick any way you want. No skills no techniques required. HAHAHA still looks good....... LOVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~..... go out there and get it !!
and finished......... girly pink look.
I wanted to take pictures but the sun went down was too dark so had to turn on bathroom light><.... it looks more shimmery with natural lighting. I don't mean glittery . but like a nice sheen with soft colours. LOVE........... definately a keeper ( I mean the pallete)

That's all for today. Hope every one have a great weekend !!!!!

Lots reviews and stuff coming up...

[] smokey purple & FOTD []~~

Hey all
Hope you all enjoying your weekend.
Just wanted to do a purple look today because I love purple. I think every one knows that by now.^^

I've had Nars DT blush for a while now. and from the photo below you can see it's nearly finished. hehe a well loved blush. So here's a list of things I used.

Face:
- Estee Lauder DWL
- Maquillage foundation OC-10
- Nars DT blush
- Rimmel Natural bronzer(do review soon)

Eyes:Brow:
- Lavschuca eyebrow set
- Canmake eyebrow mascara
- Too faced shadow insurance
- Visee glam nude N-2 ( the top right color as base)
- Majorlica Marjoca the grey color all over lid
- Shu Uemura M980 matte colour for crease
- Mac technikal liner black for water line
- kissme heorine mascara

Lips:
-Revlon colorburst in Raspberry (dabbed on)

Lets start with bare eyes..... nothing on them.. looks a bit dead

Apply the base colour from Visee pallete, and apply the grey colour all over the lid.
also apply the grey along the lower lashes.

Apply Shu Uemura's purple colour in the crease.or close to lashes. also apply in the outter corner of lower lashes.


Apply mac eyeliner in waterline for both upper and bottom waterline.

Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I only applied one layer. you can put as much as you like.


So here's an close eye of the finished makeup.


Apply bronzer in contour area. and blush on your checks. dab on some lipstick and good to go.

The eye colours are actually darker in real life. I think I might wear this look to a wedding to match my purple dress ^^.not sure yet. But I personally wouldn't dare to wear this during the day. quite heavy make up.

I also like this dark purple because It's not the girly type of purple. More a chic look than girly impression.

That's all from me for this post.

take cares. ^^

Will do a Rimmel products review soon.

[] Simple Coffret D'or FOTD~~[]

Hey all.~~
Just wanted to do a simple FOTD.
can't believe it's already May... saw lots of April's favourites video on youtube. LOL.

So here's a list of things that I used for this look. just a simple day look.

Face:
- Estee Lauder Double Wear light in intensity 01 (my second tube)
- Maquillage Powder Foundation
- Rimmel highlight concealer ( LOVE THIS STUFF!!)
- Nars Deep Throat blush. (hit pan and nearly finished)

Eyes:
-Coffret D'or Pallete in 04
- Mac powerpoint liner in duck
- Majorlica Majorca Lash Expander

Lips:
- Revlon Colorburst in Mauve (new favourite lipstick)


The packaging is classic. Very nice for a drugstore brand. thought a bit expensive if you buy it in priceline. I got mine online for $6.00 USD. HAHAHA


So here's some swatches. THe left side is only applied once. so you can pack on the colour and the right is a heavier swatch.This is my bare lips. ugly T___T

This is what the lipstick looks like on lips in natural lighting.


So for eyes, use the light colour of the coffret d'or pallete as highlight. use the blended colour as all over the lid. then use Mac eyeliner to line your eyes. I didn't care if it was a messy line or not because you go over the liner with the dark brown colour from the pallete.


Apply Mascara to both bottom and top lashes.

Put on some blush. dab on the revlon lipstick.
and you are good to go.

Need to fix up my eyebrows.. hahaha it's becoming unruly LOL..

YES finally Friday. looking forward to weekend..

[] Nars Cordura EOTD~~[]

Hey all

How's every one's weekend? So just gonna do a post on Nars Cordura, I got it a while ago. been using it quite often. But never got around to do a post on it. It's a very popular eyeshadow Duo because the shade is flattering on most skintones even different eye colour. It is a nude every day shade so It's easy to work with.

The colours are extremely pigmented!! I mean only a dab with your brush will pick up so much colour. So if you are trying to create a smokey eye build the colour slowly with a light hand.

for swatches click []HERE[]

The left side is a warm coppery brown the right side is a neutral dark dark brown. Both shade have gold shimmer in it. but not chuncky or any thing. It gives more of a iridescence than sparkly in my opinion.

So for this EOTD I used These items:
- Kissme Heorine smooth liquid eyeliner
- Majorlica Majorca Lash expander frame plus
- Shu Uemura eyeshadow in P brown 820 (a golden champagne kind of colour)
- Nars Cordura Duo

Here's a picture of bare eyes. (LOL you can see my freckles)

Line your eyes with liquid eyeliner, It doesn't have to be neat. if you want your eyes to look bigger, you can draw a thicker liner, or winged out for cat eye look. I lined mine just a bit elongated, and close to my lashes. Some ppl tight line their eyes. I don't do that because I'm scared it will smudge every where.

Apply the Shu Uemura 's eyeshadow all over lid and inner corners of the eye. Then the Coppery shade of Nars Cordura Duo just up to the crease. or and blend blend. And also apply the coppery shade in the outter corner of the bottom lashes.

Apply the dark brown shade in the outter corner of the eyes. to accent crease. I didn't put alot because I want it to be a bit more subtle. nothing dramatic. Another way is using that dark brown shade and just go over your eyeliner. to make it more dramatic.


Apply the mascara to both top and bottom lashes. If you think the outer corner isn't dark enough. you can always add more to accentuate.
This is what it looks like when finished. (above picture)
Here I'm using Revlon Colour Burst in Mauve ( My new favourite LIPSTICK!!!)
highly recommended!! smooth, moisturizing. Thinking of getting more shades.

All a picture of final me.. ready to head out the doors.

Hope every one had a great weekend. that's all from me of this post.

[] EOTD with Visee Glam Eyeshadow Pu-7~~[]

Hey all ~~
Thought I would do a EOTD with the new Vissee Glam Eyeshadow in Pu-7.
Purple is my favourite colour. lol I think every ones knows that by now, but I was never able to pull it off. I don't really like the light purple eyeshadow type, I'm more of a deep/mauve purple. I loved Nars Ondine but my cousin wanted it, so I gave it to her. When I saw this one was coming out I knew I had to give it a try.


So this is the Visee Glam Eyeshadow in pu -7. See swatches here.
For EOTD here's all the things I used:
- Visee Glam eyeshadow in pu-7
- Kissme active girl mascara
- Kissme Heroine makeup liquid eyeliner
- Too faced shadow insurance

Here's a picture of bare eyes. with curled eyelashes.

Using the light lavender colour and apply all over the lid, bottom inner half of eye, and use the liquid eyeliner to line my eyes.
Then use the 2nd darkest shade apply 1/3 of the lid close to the eyelashes then blend it to the outer corner of the eyes. also apply to the lower lash line but only the outer 1/2 of the eye.

Then apply the darkest shade over the liquid liner for a more natural look.

Then apply mascara to both top and bottom lashes. and you are done.

This is what it looks like with eyes closed.

Review of the Eyeshadow pallete:
Pros:
Great colours, blends nicely.

Cons:
chunky glitter, ( I personally don't like glittery eyeshadows prefer more of a pearl sheen finish. )
Lots of fall out had to clean up around the cheek area.

I really liked the Visee Glam Nude Series. thinking of buying the N-5 smokey eye pallete.

That's all for today. take cares.

[] Integrate BE303 []~~~

Hey all
How's every one's weekend?? Hopefully christmas shopping has been complete? I still gota go get some photo frames and print off some old photos.

So today is about the new Integrate BE 303 eye shadow. I got this a while ago from AdamBeauty, haven't had a chance to use it yet. I've been mostly using the Visee Nude Glam in N-2. That one is like my go to eyeshadow for every day look.

So i'm on holidays now, just going out with my Bf and and some other friends for dinner. So I thought I would do a FOTD just to see how this pallete turns out. Nothing dramatic, very wearable. Not too much shimmer, but enough to make it look elegant. If that ever makes sense. HAHAHA

So Here's how it turned out. I don't know why my bathroom light is so BLUE..... no idea why. This is taken under natural light in my bathroom , no flash no special effects.





I'm so lazy these days to put contact lenses on, just glasses will do.
So here's the pallete, Integrate BE303. With flash

Here's a swatch of it. I would say this is really close how it looks like in real life. Some how the camera doesn't really pick up the colour once it's on the eyes. beats me why. may be need a DSLR.

Here's the list of items used for Today's FOTD:
- Estee Lauder Double Wear Light
- Laura Mercier Mineral Power (i'm nearly finished with that)
- Mac Stereo Rose blush
- Lavshuca Eyebrow set
- Mac brow set
- Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance
- Shiseido Integrate Be303
- Mac powerpoint liner in Duck
- Kissme Active Girl mascara
- Nars Dolce Vita lipstick
This is what it looks like with eyes open

And Eyes Closed, You can see the Sheen and sheer colour of the pallete. Kind of Natural, I added the eyeliner to be a bit more dramatic, If I was to wear it during the day. May be just just shadow by it self. And use the dark brown as a liner. More natural.

That's all for now. Christmas Soon.!!!! Wish every one a Very Merry Christmas......... hehe
