~~[]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 ^^

[] Change of Hair Colour and FOTD[][]~~~~

Hey all~~
hope you all had a great week. All happy and busy doing things you love.
Well I decided to dye my hair a Darker colour. I used Garnier Nutrissue in Cinnamon Stick, I throwed away the box because it got soaked by water, If you wanted to check the shade you can see it from Garnier's website.

I am just sick of my light brown hair, which looks dry, brittle and unhealthy. So I just dye it darker. It didn't turn out too bad. Alot of friends said that darker hair actually allows my facial features to stand out more. I don't know if that's true or not. Any ways. On with the post.


FOTD products:
- Esteelauder cyber white primer
- Missha perfect cover BB cream #21
- Esteelauder doublewear light #01
( I mixed bb cream and foundation together 50:50)
- Laurer Mercier Mineralise power in Sand
- Eyebrow tint MAC (beiguile)
- Nars Laguna bronzer for contouring
- Nars Oasis as blush ( this is like the perfect winter blush.. so good)
- Kissme Heorine mascara (long and curl)
- Mac cremesheen lipgloss it boybait


and TAH DAH~~~

My every day Uni look nothing special.

argh my lips are kinda dry. O wells. Hope everyone have a great weekend.

STAY WARm.. cuz it's so COLD here. T___T

[][] Current Skincare Routine[][][]~~

Hey all
Today, I just want to update my current Skincare Routine.
I have combination oily skin, and prone to blemishes, pimples. especially during that time of the months... So I try to keep my skin/pores as clean as possible. I have been using the Kose's Junkisui range for about 2 months now. A little goes a long way with these products.
This range is suited for sensitive/acne prone skin. SO here's the range.
from facewash, to toner to moisturiser in emulsion form.

Here's a look at the face wash...

it lathers to a thick foam... (quite dense) and amazingly it cleans off make up even with out facial oil to remove the makeup before hand.

The toner is just your average toner with a consistency of water. It is quite moisturising, though it does contain alcohol to kill germs and clean out the pores. BUt it's unlike the CLINIQUE's 3 step toner which is loaded with alcolhol and dries the skin out so bad ><

Here's a look at the emulsion, a White runny gel consistency, quite moisturising actually. not too oily, not too dry. Absorbs easily and has been helping my acne at bay. ALso...... if I DO have a pimple or something. the next morning I wake up and that pimple tend to be less inflammed and some how helps to heal quicker. Though this range does not help with fading of acne scars><

Other products I use, CLinique's Moisture surge. the famous one. The Clinique Exfoliating scrub ( use once a week) or twice depends. And The OLAY moisturising lotion sensitive skin. (think this is my 5th bottle). These are there for a bit of extra moisture when needed.

and here's a FOTD with no eye make up.

P.S: (using Maybelline's Pink Please lipstick on lips)... Alot people have been raving about this.

and Seems like my hair colour has gone lighter and lighter ><

Have a great weekend guys.

Masks & Guitar []

Hey all
it's been a long time... hehehe just updating with some stuff.

I have been trying out the My beauty diary masks... The different types.

I tried 5 of them.. and I know there are alot of fake ones out there.. but I got a friend to bring it for me from over seas. but sasa.com sells them as well
- mix berry and yoghurt
- black pearl mask
- lavender mask
- Q10 mask
- while pearl mask

This is the back of them. I heard you can buy then in the 7/elevens in taiwan and other beauty shops and it's quite cheap there as well. These comes in a packet of two and they also have the packet of 10.

Out of these ones they have difference purpose for different types. But for me I will rank them from the favourite to the least favourite ones.
1. mix berry & yoghurt (after I used this one, my skin is so soft and moisturised and radiant.)

2. Q10 every one knows what Q10 does right?? promotes collogen production so tightens skin and boost skin renewal)

3. Lavender (helps sooth and clear skin from trouble, smells really nice but I don't see any difference after use.)

4. Both of the pearl masks (it says to help with whitening, so use it after sun exposure and wanting to have a whiter radiant skin, but I didn't feel much difference )

Also, I picked up guitar a couple months ago. Been practising and just doing some self learning not really taking lessons. My dad bought me this guitar.. I really like it.. it sounds really good... (steel stringed) I don't really like the sound of nylon strings...


A closer look.

Hope every one is having a great week.

[] Pink Rosey Champagne [] ~~~~

Hey everyone;

First of all I wanted to THANK every one leaving me really kind and nice comments...

Didn't expect so many of you leaving me nice comments for my posts =D

thank you thank you thank you thank you all ~~~~^__^

Well I'm back with a FOTD and some reviewing.~~~

Here's the products used:

Face:

- Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in intensity 1

- Laura Mercier Mineralise Foundation SPF15 Real Sand

- Nars blush in Oasis

- Nars Laguna bronzer

Eyes/Brow:

- Lavshuca Eyebrow powder in LB-1

- Mac browset in Beguile

- Fibrewig mascara

Lips:

- Benefit lipstick in Lala land

Here's a picture of the Nars Oasis blush. From the website it's described as pink champagne colour. It is kind of true but it has a mauve undertone with chunky glitters. OK If u DON"T like glitters.. I think this blush won't suit u unless u use MAC 187 brush the application will probably have the least amount of glitter/shimmer on your face.

Check out that Glitter. But it's a really nice colour. Gives a warm cheek and quite natural. A really really good winter colour. not so much of a summer colour though.

So the next thing I want to share with every one is the Laura Mercier Mineralise Foundation powder SPF15. I've been using this for about a months now. Remember How I had the Prescriptive Mineralised Foundation?? I thought that was good but it's a bit too dark for me. because it oxidised a bit on me. I read a few reviews.. I came across this one.

This foundation is the best mineralise one i've tried so far. I tried Everyday Mineralise (EDM), Prescriptive, Mac's MSF natural and this one. This has a really nice packaging. Has a shifter you can close if you decide to bring it travelling. The powder is finely milled. NO cakey-ness NO matter how many layers you put. with EDM i found that it will cake.

And When my face gets oily mid day, It looks natural... The powder has some shimmer in it which gives you that GLOW...... healthy skin GLOW without making you look all OILY and yuk.

Fuzkittie Had a post on this before. The coverage i'd say light to medium but buildable. oily control is SOSO not great but has some oil control. No break outs..... The application is just like any other mineralised foundations. Buff in with kabuki brush.

If you want, you can use it as a setting powder. So just lightly sweep it on. I use it semi buffed. I use a kabuki brush but I don't fully buff it in.

Here's a swatch. Top half of my hand has no poweder... so it's matte. the bottom half is applied with the powder.. You can see that sheen it creates.. HEALTHY skin.. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I high recommend this. I mean seriously. Save your money trying all other stuff. This one is the one.. Atleast for me It is. I can see my self actually finishing all that powder. while the other ones will be sitting in the draw waiting for me to use them LOL.

Hope you like my new blush...... =D

P.S: I got a pharmacology exam coming up.. all those drug names and mechanisms is making me crazy............... wish me luck..... and have a great weekend.. BACK to study.>__<

[]Perfect Brow []~~~

Hey all.
Just fulfilling a request today by Jo. I was asked to show how I do my brows. Well I thought I might as well include some magazine scans as how the professional people does it.

Sorry that this is in Chinese but the pictures are quite clear and understandable.
[] You can click to enlarge the pictures[]

Brows are quite important I think, because they shape your face and different brow shapes give people different impressions. So it's best to have a natural and tidy brow so you look more awake and defined.
This picture above is how I do my brows. basically the same. I first decide what kind of shape of eye brow I want, I just follow the natural hair line for my brow. Trim off the access long hairs. DO NOT SHAVE UR eye brows to SUPER short or non existent. Unless you want to TOTALLY reshape ur brow.. it will look super un-natural ><

After you plucked away unwanted hair and trimmed ur brow so they are neat. Then you apply ur eyebrow powder. Light colour for inner brow near the nose bridge. and Darker colour towards the end. and blend in so that it looks natural.

Then I set my brow with brow set. and good to go ^___^

The next few pictures is for people with different eyebrow shapes and as to how to fix them.

The picture below shows how to do your brow if u have very faint brows to begin with.

The next picture is for people with dark/thicker brows.

THe next picture is for brow corrections.

the next picture is for uneven toned brows where one is lighter than the other.

The Next picture is for 2 weird shaped brows.

The next picture is for incorrect brow defined shapes. or uneven brows

I personally have Dark harid brows. My natural eye brow hair is quite hard and dense. So I can't really redefined my brow shape. I try to make my brow look a bit lighter ie a dark /medium brown colour so it's matched with my hair. THey said normally your brow should be 2 tones darker than your hair colour.

So all I use Daily is

- Mac Brow Set in Beguile

- Lavshuca's Eye brow set in LB-1

There are many brow items out there. brow pencils, powder, brow gel.

But normally you use a pencil or powder to fill in your brows and use a gel to set ur brow shape.

That's all I can think of. Hope it helps. ^____^

Takes all.. weekend is coming up.. YEAH =D
