Pink Neutral FOTD

I thought I will try to create a look without just using a single palette and I did it! I'm still in the midst of learning how to mix and match the colours of the palette I have so that I can have more choices in terms of eye look :)






My first time using a liquid eyeliner, the line looks uneven, I guess practice makes perfect! =P

Some comments on liquid liner, they are harder to dry up compared to gel liner thus make sure they are dried before you start blinking or they will smear into your eyeshadow. NYX liquid liner are pretty easy to apply on however I find it cracking a few hours after wear.




Overall look, looks a bit soft, perfect for a day out =)










Items used:

Face

Maybelline Perfect Concealer

MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder

Have fun trying out colors! Muaks ^0^

EOTD: Soft Green for Summer

I did look out of fun after I saw it on Makeup for Life. Summer is all about making colours work for you, I have a green palette which have been left unattended for quite some time because I did not know how to make green colour work on me. So, make sure you use more colours this summer because it is FUN!


Here's my own recreation of soft green look for this summer:




I have to make the eyeliner line thicker due to my single eyelid.





Also applied the glitter eyeliner from NYX to make it more lively :)





Items used for this look:


Daiso Eyeshadow Palette in Green

Kate Deep Eyes Palette in Blue

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner Pencil

NYX Glitter Liner in Disco Ball

Love Parcels Arrived from London :)

The moment I have been waiting for has come, my bf came back with goodies from his Europe trip. I was unable to join him due to my busy schedule *sob sob* However he was kind enough to look highs and lows for my cosmetics craves. Thanks babe!






I didn't get a lot; NARS blushes which I can't get in Malaysia, MAC's Transparent Finishing Powder and Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner.


I can finally strike off some items on my wishlist, weehehe...


NARS Angelika: top (without flash), bottom (with flash)




NARS Angelika blush is so gorgeous with its shimmers. Although you see so much shimmer on the pan, but when you brush it on your cheeks they are very subtle. The blush is also very pigmented, you don't have to sweep too much to get the light pink flush that you wanted.






MAC's Transparent Finishing Powder is highly raved by users where it provides multi purpose usage. This powder brightens, ligthens in addition to setting your foundation and act as setting powder for under eye concealer. Wow, after reading such good reviews, I must get my hands on it and finally I did! Flawless skin here I come!


Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners are overpriced here in Malaysia. With texture so smooth and does not crease easily on my oily lids. I was eyeing either Strut or Skinny Jeans but in the end I chose Strut because it will make great liner with its grey black shimmer.


Me being a lipstick lover, I can't resist purchasing Way to Love lipstick from A Rose Romance collection by MAC recently. This lipstick looks so lovely when paired up with Angelika blush.






And finally we enjoyed a box of Godiva truffles after his long trip home.
