[]Lunasol three dimensional eyes 03 -FOTD~~[]

Hey all~~~~
I went out yesterday and I couldn't wait to try the new Lunasol Three Dimensional Eyes palette so I did a quick FOTD. I was going for a more natural/subtle look so nothing dramatic.

I thought the pallete would be really shimmery but it turns out really pretty not over glittery like my Lunasol CORAL CORAL palette.......... I don't think my camera is doing any justice though.

Here a list of things I used for this FOTD:
- Cezanne powder foundation. I just did a review for this.
- Nars Laguna bronzer
- Mac Fleur Power blush
- Mac powerpoint eyeliner in Duck ( brown)
- Lavshuca brow set LB-1 ( forgot to take photo)
- Canmake brow gel in 03 ( forgot this one too)
- Maquillage eyelash curler (sigh..... forgot this one as well)
- Too Faced shadow insurance
- Kiss me Heroine mascara (volume and curl)
- Lunasol Three Dimensional Eyes in 03
- Estee Lauder lipstick in Crystal pink (old formula and packaging)


This is kind of like a semi tutorial post too. I tried to show the steps of how I used the palette, but I don't think it's any help though. sad.................. T__T

Pictures taken under natural indoor bathroom light. (No flash used)

First: Apply shadow insurance then Curl your lashes......... Apply the mac powerpoint eyeliner. Doesn't matter if it's messy. And kind of extend the outer corner a bit. I didn't wing it out. Also apply 1/3 of the outer corner of the lower lashes.
Apply the top right colour all over the lid as a base.
then apply the purple 1/2 of the lid blending upwards.
then use the brown from the palette to trace over the eyeliner you draw before. extending the corner and you can make a wing if you like. Using eyeshadows to make a wing makes it more natural than using eyeliners.
Take the white from the top left, apply it to the brow bone.
Apply Mascara and your done.
This is what it looks like quite subtle shimmery look. but my camera doesn't do the justice of showing the colour and how pretty it looks in real life.

and here's a finished look.......... Nothing dramatic. keep it natural...... ^^but I do have to say... this looks very springy although the collection is promoting a autumn/winter season......


Hope every one is enjoying their weekend.......

[]Little Brown Box.. Lunasol~[]

Hey all~~~
Haven't been posting much because I'm sick at the moment.. so pretty much taking it easy. Hopefully my health would get back to normal soon so I can get my work done (which is piling up now).

Recently Lunasol by Kanebo came out with their new 2011 Autumn/Winter collection called Three Dimensional Eyes. It has 5 colours. These eyeshadows are based on the idea of light and shade and that it's all revolving around neutral beige undertones for a more natural look but with different light (shimmery) variations.
01 = Beige Beige
02 = Soft Beige ( pink)
03 = Mysterious Beige ( purple)
04 = Cool Beige (green/grey)
05 = Deep Beige (taupe/grey)

I didn't think 01/04/05 attracted me all that much because they are pretty much VERY neutral basic shades. so it was between 02 pink or 03 purple. I find that pink some times makes my eyes looks puffy and pink can make you look tired........ so I decided to go with purple as it is after all my favourite colour.

While looking at the new collection, I had some interest in blue colours. Some how these days I am into deep/dark blue shades, I find them compliment my skintone/eye colour quite well for some reason. I saw their Nature Eyes Collection had that kind of dark blue I was looking for. It was the 04 palette called Nature Beige. these palettes are based on the natural scenery of the Earth and this one is based on desert sand.

Warning: Picture Heavy.
Yeah the box is a bit squashed in the mail. but the content is all good.

Really nice packaging, simple elegant, I like... :)
This is what the Lunasol Nature Beige 04 looks like the box comes with instruction which I don't really understand but the website has English version which is handy.
This is the Lunasol Three Dimensional Eyes in 03 and its instructions.


Picture of both with flash.

Ok Lets start with the Three Dimensional Eyes in Mysterious Beige

A picture of it with flash.
Under natural indoor lighting.
A close up.
Here's a swatch of the colours in natural indoor lighting

A picture of swatch under the sun. Love that purple and the dark brown.. actually every thing is nice.. matches perfectly, If you are going for a more natural look. you can just skip the purple and it becomes an every day palette. how handy........

So next is the Lunasol Nature Eyes in Nature Beige.
Pictures taken all under natural indoor lighting. It is a bit more shimmery than the Three dimensional eyes. but not over powering.


Here's a swatch of it. Very desert like...... which is quite neutral which can be used every day.


That's all for today....... Hope I don't cause some Lemming and Wallet breaking ........
hehehe but I think they are worth it.. was SOOOO happy when I received these in the mail.

Have a great weekend every one.

[] 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...

[][]Lunasol Summer Nature Eyes EX-02 [][]

Hey all
I know it's summer every wherel else in the world ( north hemesphere) but In Australia it's winter right now........ But Who cares about that?? because Make up is all year round.. ~~~~

That being said.. I purchased the Lunasol Summer Nature Eyes in Ex-02.. Fuzkittie has shown swatches and photos I think she did a better job at that than me. Never the less.... I put pictures of mine ^^ It's surpose to remind you of the beautiful sand at the beach. the white sand, golden sand.......... and okay now I feel like going to the beach...

A natural colour quad.. Comes in four colours. Above ( no flash) Below ( fill in flash)

The colours are shimmers.. Fine silver shimmer. I find the shimmer size is smaller than my coral coral quad... from sheer contrasting eyes...

Here's a swatch ><>< href="http://fuzkittie.blogspot.com/2010/06/shopaholic-behavior-again.html">[] HERE[] and []HERE[] and []HERE[]

And thats how the package look like...

So I use it on my eyes today... I didn't use the white colour on the top left hand corner because it's too shimmery and just a high light.. I personally think that the pink colour looks better. So Pink shimmery colour all over lid. used the Gold shimmery colour inside the eyes crease. and Brown colour as liner colour. and just lined the top with Prestiage waterproof eye liner.

Here's a close up of the eye make up. Wearing Acuvue Define (brown one ) as contact lens. This one is quite natural. looks just like my eyes
So FOTD products

- Clinique Superfit Fondation in Bare

- Laura Mercier Mineralise Powder in Sand

- Nars Laguna

- Nars Deep Throat Blush

- Mac Eye brow tint in beguile

- Prescriptive concealer

- Kiss me Heroine long & cure mascara

- Lunasol Ex-02 Pallete

- Prestiage Waterproof eyeliner in black

- Benefit Lipstick in Lala Land.. SUCH A PRETTY COLOUR!!!!

Over all face.......... I tied my hair up today.. Because It was getting in my way when I was working... so yeah

That's all for today ^^... I'm so into neutral palletes these days................. I think they all look very similar. bust just an addiction. and I think it will take me years to finish all that eye shadow...... hehehe

~~[]Lunasol Coral Coral & FOTD[]~~~

Dear all
Thank you for the kind comments from last post. you guys gives me the encouragement to keep writting ^^....

How was every one's weekend? Ready for Monday? well my monday was a DISASTER.. I forgot my wallet at home (had zilch money on me), forgot my umbrella and it was raining, forgot my access card, can't get into where I work (had to press door bell every time), and finally forgot my house keys......... HAHAHA so forgetful. T___T

That aside, I just realised I have neglected this pretty pallet of mine at the back of the draw some where. Lunasol's Coral Coral. A very nice, subtle pallet with complementary colours for an everyday look. The pallet still looks pretty new. (I should certainly use it more) The photo and swatches are taken under natural lighting, not in direct sunlight and no flash.

The swatches are below

It looks very sheer but shimmery on the eyes, The colour didn't really get picked up by the camera.

No eyeliner, just mascara. Used Pink all over lid, Gold colour at the crease and Brown as liner colour, White used for highlighting brow bone.

and an overall face picture.

The items used for this FOTD is practically same as the last one I posted couple days ago, just that I used Maybelline's Pink Please lipstick. A very natural subtle eye makeup.

Enjoy rest of the week!!!!!!!!!!........

Please leave me comments or suggestions, or questions. thank you ^^
