[] Stila Lovely in London Travel Pallete Review & FOTD[]~~

 Hey all ~~
I bought the Stila Lovely in London Travel Palette, because the colour really attracted me also the cute packaging. last year I got the Stila travel palette in Haute in the Hamptons. Click HERE to see the review for that.

 So the palette is a bit different to other palettes last year is that it flips open vertically. instead of from right to left like a book. but I don't really mind that.

This is what the front looks like.

This is what the colours look like. you got 5 eyeshadow colours and 1 cream covertible colour for lip and cheek. eyeshadow colour:
top = Notting Hill
left = Tower Bridge
right = Duchess
bottom = high street
middle = castle

So for the swatch, top light pink colour is the primrose cream convertible colour.
Then the darkest brown is high street.
then last row from left to right is castle, notting hill, tower bridge and duchess, all colours are matte, except for duchess which is a pearly colour.

For today's FOTD, I used these products:
- Sofina Primavista Perfect Fit foundation in 03
- Nars Laguna bronzer
- Bare Minerals Rose Radiance (as blush) over Primrose
- Urban decay primer potion
- Prestige waterproof eyeliner in black
- Active Girl full long mascara
- Mac Modesty lipstick
- Mac brow gel in begiule
- Stila Lovely in London Palette

So here's what the eye makeup look like.
- used castle all over the lid up to the brow bone
- then notting hill up to the crease
- duchess in the first 1/3 of the top eyelid
- used tower bridge all the way in the lower lashes.
- then used high street as an eyeliner colour for top lid and 1/3 in the outer lower lash
- applied black eyeliner pencil
- top off with mascara and done.

The photos are taken in natural in door lighting. excuse the not groomed eyebrows.

It is actually a really autumn colour, because it's so brown and coppery. I really like it. could be used in summer if you add a bit more gold. I think it suits warm skin tone really well. The primrose convertible colour is  a bit too light for my skin tone. I didn't like it on my lips. on my cheeks barely showed up.

here's my normal look with glasses.

I highly recommend you go out there and buy this travel palette, for $16, and it's worth it I think.

Have a great week every one.
P.S. recovering from a cold.

[] Stila Haute in The Hamptons Beach Palette & FOTD[]

Hey all ~~
Haven't done a FOTD for a while. I purchased the Stila Haute in The Hamptons Beach Palette on Ebay for about $17.00 USD. The reason why I was so drawn to this pallete is because Rouge Deluxe, She did a look using this palette and it looked amazing.

Click []HERE[] to see her post.



This is what the cover looks like. very holiday summer feel. Wish summer was here quicker.

This is what it looks like inside, it has a mirror, instructions as to how to use the colours. Contains 4 shadow colours, 1 blush and 1 bronzer/contour colour. though I find both colours can be used as blush. because the bronzer colour isn't dark/brown enough.

Here's a closer look for the instructions.
Here's what the back looks like, has the name to all the shades.
So the lightested is called SAND, the golden colour is called Linen. The dark brown is called Route 27, and the blue is called Blue Skies. it is a Beautiful muted Blue colour.
All these colours has a slight sheen to them, not sparkly, which I REALLY LIKE...

The top blush colour is Hydrangea, the bottom is called Montauk Highway.
here's a picture of swatch on my hand under natural lighting. no FLASH. the colours stay pretty true to real life.

Here's a list of items I used for this FOTD:
- Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation
- Cezanne pink case powder foundation to set the foundation
- Lavschuca eye brow set
- Canmake brow mascara in 03
- Revlon colorburst in Mauve for lips
- Maquillage eyelash curler
- kiss me heroine mascara (volume & curl)

I used the Hydrangea colour from the Stila palette as blush. looks very similar to Mac's Fluer Power which I've been using nearly every day since I got it.

For eyes, I didn't exactly follow the instructions:
- Use Sand all over the lid as a base
- Use Linen over eye lid to give that bit more golden colour
- Use Route 27 within the crease across the eyelid
- Use Blue skies in the outter corner give that extra bit pop of colour.

I tried using the blue skies under the eyes, find it a bit too dark. I was going for a more natural look. may be next look should be a more heavier eye look with eyeliners as well.


This is what it looks like with eyes open
Hope you can see the colours from this picture above.
The blush colour looks quite natural.
And this is final look and hope you all like it.

Hope every one have a great weekend...

I even Spent my EASTER holiday working from 6.30 to 5 every day. So tired.~~~~~ I think I was working too much and I got sick recently; caught the flu from some one LOL...

But I made an effort to take note of my new DAILY FOTD....

I got the new contact lense from FreshKon, because PandaBlush suggested that they are very comfortable and I got them in Winsome Brown. Not very enlarging but comformatble enough to wear for about 7-8 hours.

And I got the Stila eyeshadow trio in Mazatlan, it's a limited edition summer release I think. I'm not too sure I saw some one using it and I was like WOW I gota get this. LOL I know i'm a neutral colour eyeshadow freak>< I have like 5 or 6 stacked in the draw and still getting more hahaha..

Look at that pattern....... Pretty.~~~This eyeshadow is 9.1g it's going to take forever to finish.

Here's some swatches. The left is with no Base. the Right is with Paint Pot in Bare study.(notice how the colour is more intense with a base)

I also got the new lipstick in Modesty from Creme Sheen.. love the colour..~~

So for the daily FOTD, there's the things I used.

THe eyeshadow is a golden brown colour. the photo looks a bit off colour. ><

Another photo of my bitchy attitude.. sup ?? hehe jokes

P.S :

I tried the new Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC 20 in the new Well Defined collection.

reviewing it here:

Pros~~~~

Great coverage, only need a small amount and looks flawless. Gel based easily spread, No break outs so far. Looks great when you first apply it hhahaha.. can't stop looking in the mirror thinking WOW looks so nice. non cakey. if you apply sparingly. a little goes long way.

Cons~~~~

Not water/sweat proof. Gone by mid day, so end of the day you left with may be only 10% of the foundation?? Not good oil control. I get more oily I don't know why. >___< would be good for normal may be normal/dry skin. not recommended for oily or dry skin. doesn't last long.

That's all for today~~~ Take cares.......

I will try to update more... thx for all the support
