HauL & Updating ~~~

Hey all;

How was every one's week? I wonder how did every one spend their Halloween?? I had to work but there was a couple of kids came to our home for "trick or treat".. gave them so much lollies and chocolates hahaha. Hope their parents don't mind them having bags and bags of sugar.. LOL


Any ways, I have a couple things I wanted to show you guys. I've been using these two items everyday since I bought.. and all i can say is I"M LOVING IT!!!!...

First is the Shu Uemura's blush duo,colour is in Rhythm.. I think it's like Mac's Dollymix + Nars Laguna in a way. you can use the colours separately one as contour and another as blush, or you can mix the colours together to how ever you like.

The colour is pretty true in these photos, what you see is what you get..


THe packaging is cute, easy for just putting in the makeup bag and reapply through out the day.
One thing though, they don't stay on as long as my NARS blushes, but still pretty good. pigmented so your brush actually pics up the colour. I kind of dislike Mac's Sheer tone blushes.. because it's hard to pick up products on the brush...

Another item that i'm loving now is the NARS Ondine.~~~
Who ever is out there a NARS fan or even eyeshadow fan, you have to go and check out this colour!!!!!.. It's so damn pretty and versatile.. It's a taupe brown with purple undertone. YOu can use it with browns or with purples and even greys.. just so pretty..

It has gold sparkles in it. some ppl review that there's alot fall outs, but It was ok with me cuz I didn't FULLY pack on LOADS of eye shadow.. I use it in my crease or as liner colour. PRETTY.~~~

Here's a swatch.. I'd say the colour in this photo is pretty true compare to real life. and you can see the sparkles in there.
By the way. I cut my hair. LOL. decided to get it cut. so it's not as frizzy and long and annoying HAHAHA

So here's the result.. I look older actually LOL
A photoshopped GLOWING photo LOL... just mucking around


As for this dog, I came home one day. and he was in the yard playing with my dog LOL... I don't know how he got in our fence. but I brought him back to his owner down the street because he is marking his territory all over our yard....

That's all for today... Hope everyone had a great weekend.............
Take cares

Shu Uemura~~~

Hey all

I have finally finished my exams.. so that makes me UNOFFICIALLY graduated from my degree of chemical engineering...^___^ the ceremony won't be until march next year I think. But I guess my engineering uni like is over.. I'm so gonna miss my friends.. ><>

Any ways.. back to the main topic.. I was wondering how would cleansing oil work and I heard alot of good reviews about Shu Uemura cleansing oil. (I swear I can't pronounce that properly) um.. They have all these different once, like the green one is with green tea extract for antioxidant, there's one for oily skin and another for with cherry or sakura extract for sensitive skin.
I got the original one, the yellow one for combination skin. So how do you use it?? well, you get pump and half and massage it all over face for 30 seconds then you get some warm water emulsify it then just rinse it all off with warm water. Then get a clean towel and pat dry ur face. then ur done..

SO my verdict. it's pretty good and it removes MY make up!!! like seriously; this stuff is amazing. it removes eyeliners, mascaras, heavy make up foundation that could be remained and clogging up pores. I've been using it for 2 weeks, and it doesn't dry my skin, there's no EXTREME tight feeling to the skin.

BUT I gota warn you.. if you don't emulsify it properly, you will leave some residue behind. but the good thing is if you get it in your eyes, doesn't hurt at all, just goes cloudy for a while and that's it. NO allergic reactions.

Ingredient: paraffium liquid/mineral oil, zea may, polysorbate85, cartamus tinctorius oil/safflower seed oil, crtyl ethylexanote, sorbitan thioleate, simmondsia chinensis oil, jojoba seed oil, camellia kissi sea oil, macadamia seed oil, canola oil. ginger root extract, rosemary leaf extract, sea water. So as you can see.. it's mainly oils from plants and natural materials.. So nothing artificial I think...

So now lets put it to the test shall we??? Here's some eyeliner products, from pencil, to gel liner, liquid liner.
You pump some on the make up area.
You massage for 20 seconds.. (looks gross right???)
Add some warm water and mix and massage LOL.. looks even more gross
Rinse it off with warm water, pat dry and you're as good as new...~~~

SO yeah.. I think it's pretty good.. removes most of the things.. and when I use toner to wipe off excess un removed make up, usually there's some yellowy foundation left, but with this.. virtually none. But I think it's quite expensive. On the box it says use 3 pumps.. LOL that's crazy I only use 1 pump or may be some times 1.5 pumps.

I also heard that the DHC cleansing oil is good.. I might try that next time.. It's cheaper too, probably does the same thing and have the same effect.

Take cares.. Have a good weekend, it's friday here..
