Hello guys!

I have been shopping a lot during the holiday! UK has plenty of makeup brands that I could not find in Singapore and I took the chance of getting those things! I know I’ve been a bad girl during the holiday. When I reached home after the holiday, I felt guilty looking at my new stuffs :( But anyway I enjoyed my holiday so much and now I should work hard to pay off those shopping damages LOL :D

Suqqu

This is Suqqu counter in Selfridges Manchester. I didn’t take more pictures as I was too excited to look for products here. I had fun swatching many products. There are many items that are not available there because I think it sold out pretty quickly.

Here are my Suqqu haul; 2 eyeshadow, 1 blush and 1 eyebrow palette.

Illamasqua

These pictures are also taken in Illamasqua counter in Selfridges Manchester.  The Illamasqua counter there is very happening with 3 SAs that have dramatic makeup and dresses! The thing that gets me most excited is to see their blushes. I have Illamasqua blush in Hussy and I love it to bits. I had fun swatching at the blush counter and decided to pick

I purchased three items from Illamasqua; a blush, an eye palette and a cream highlighter.

Chantecaille

I picked this Chantecaille Classic Palette in Harrods. This palette was on sale together with the Tiger in the Wild palette. Chantecaille products pricing are so expensive even after the price reduction. I paid (£50 or £75, can’t remember exactly). Honestly I bought this only because I want to collect a product from a brand that I have never had before. I will do a review about this palette soon (I hope :) )

Drugstore Haul from Boots & Superdrug

I had fun in both Superdrugs and Boots mostly in between Christmas – New year because they are having generous promotions. I bought quite a number of products there as they are having a “Buy 2 get 3″ promotions and I will get a free goodie bag when I buy 5 products or more. Gosh I could not control myself and bought there things with me. I know I am a bad girl when it comes to shopping but I’ll give myself an excuse since this is a year end holiday :p

Real Technique Brushes

Sleek Eye and Blush Palettes

Miscellaneous brands – Maybelline Color Tattoo, Revlon Lipstain, Max Factor lipfinity, Loreal Eyeshadow, Rimmel Eyeliner, etc.

Model’s Own and Barry M are one of those brands that excites me the most in Boots and Superdrug. Their glittery nail polishes are to die for! Barry M nail polishes were about £3-£5 each and Model’s Own were about £5 each.

That’s all I have for you :)

I have many things to be reviewed and please be patient with me LOL.

Thank you for reading.

La Maison Lancome

Filed under blush, make up by on December 16, 2012 at 2:43 am {14 comments}

Today I have Lancome palette to show you guys. I knew the existence of this palette from Instagram and also this palette is Krisshop exclusive (I guess). They are no longer available I’m afraid, I’ve just get this not long ago because I have to troubled my cousin who lives in Singapore to get me this and waited till someone visit me in Sydney.

I believe the blush was available worldwide months ago? or maybe a year ago. I remembered saw this in Sydney sometime last year.

I LOVE Eiffel tower so much, why? I can’t explain it myself haha… So when I saw this I knew I must have it.  The palette is very pretty no doubt about it but the quality is kinda disappointing. All the colors are very sheer and not pigmented. And also the combination of the eyeshadow shades are not suitable for me..

Swatches of the eyeshadow:

 

Blush swatches:

I can’t capture the blush color when all three color blended because it is very sheer. The two light colors are shimmery (left and middle) while the darkest color is matte.

I will give this a miss, but I’m happy just to look at the palette :p

Thanks for reading

FOTD with Chanel Epatant and Urban Decay Naked Palette

Filed under blush, creme shadows, eye shadow, eyeliner, FOTD, make up by on April 20, 2012 at 1:14 pm {6 comments}

 

Hello ladies!

I had this make up few days ago and I want to share this to you. Few days ago I took leave from my work and I enjoyed my “me” time alot! i went to Orchard with my iPad and was sitting in a cafe the whole afternoon. While sipping a cup of green tea and munching a chocolate muffin, I just kept on browsing on beauty blogs. Oh how I love reading lovely post from many bloggers :) I am in love with my  blogging activities now!

Anyway I just love my eye looks that day. In my opinion, the eyeshadow blended very well and it’s not too much. It made my eyes look bigger and my hubby loved my look that day! :) Here are the products I was using:

For my eye:

I was using Chanel Epatant as a base. To give shimmer on my middle lid, I took my Urban Decay Palette in Half Baked. I avoid to have a heavy smokey eye look, so I soften my upper eyeshadow with Urban Decay Naked. For my eye highlighter I am using Benefit Tattle Tale mixed with Urban Decay Sin.

For my inner lid, I was using Benefit Tattle Tale and swipe it on 1/3 of my under inner lid.

The eyeliner used was MAC Technakohl in black. I am using this on my whole upper eye lid and my outer bottom lid.

The mascara was Lancome Hypnôse.

Since I want to emphasize on my eye look, I choose Lancome Butterflies Fever (reviewed here) as my blush. I swept the pinkish and purplish shade on my cheek and topped it with the cream shade as my highlighter.

was on my lip. As usual, pink lip is not always my favorite but I think this one looks good on me :)

 

 

and here is the look:

Introducing Ellis Faas’ Signature Looks in 2012 Fashion Week

Filed under make up by on March 12, 2012 at 12:57 pm {no comments}

During the International Fashion Week 2012, ELLIS FAAS has created two new signature looks; that cements her reputation as “one of the most influential make up artists” of her generation.

ELLIS FAAS stamped her mark on this year’s Fashion Week as the make up sponsor for the shows of Mila Schön and Korean Designer Eudon Choi.

While the look for Mila Schön was fresh, the show for Eudon Choi featured dewy skin, highlighting its natural glow.

Fresh & Sophisticated

Mila Schön’s show revolved around “existentialism” and ELLIS FAAS ambassador Tiziana Raimondo created a look that was fresh.

Raimondosaid, “After having created a light, quasi-transparent skin with SkinVeil foundation, Concealer and Compact Powder, I added just a little shadow with Creamy Eyes E104 and E107.On the lips,I put the fierce red Creamy Lips L103 and to finish it off some lovely Mascara E401 on the lashes.”

Natural & Glowing

ELLIS FAAS sponsored the makeup for the show of Korean designer Eudon Choi, which highlighted fresh pale and dewy skin with natural freckles.

Less is definitely more, as ambassad or Adam de Cruz used Skin Veil Foundation to give a natural, wonderful glow to the skin. He said, “I used blusher S303 with a stipple brush and dabbed carefully on the apples of the cheeks, cheekbones and Bridge of nose and patted softly with my fingers to create freckles instead of ‘blush’.

And now, we can have a piece of Fashion Week in Singapore.

Recently launched earlier this year, the ELLIS FAAS Human Colours® collection looks to the human palette for inspiration. The colours that exist naturally in our bodies are complex and rich, but they are also universal, shared by each and every one of us. Based on this universal spectrum, ELLIS FAAS Human Colours® collection aims to complement all skin tones.

Apart from the powder, all of ELLIS FAAS Human Colours® collection makeups come in revolutionary pens, fit tidily into a streamlined, lightweight folder. You can now match and mix your lipstick, mascara, eye shadow and blush with ELLIS FAAS Skin veil in the middle, and filling the space by the mirror with ELLIS FAAS powder.

My Shopping Haul

Filed under blush, brush, highlighter, lip color, lip gloss, liquid eyeshadow, make up by on March 10, 2012 at 11:46 am {2 comments}

Hello again everyone! My sister just came visited me here in Sydney yesterday and I asked her to buy few things and she has done a very good job for getting everything on my list yay! As we know here in Sydney everything is overpriced so when someone come visit me, I have to make sure I make the most of it ;) and some Japanese brands are difficult to find here in Sydney.

After reading Meryl’s review about Guerlain Travel Meteorites, I know I have to have it. Its way too cute to resist.  Finally I have Shiseido Prefect Foundation Brush, I want them badly but they have sold out everywhere in Sydney and Singapore. I hope its worth the price, you can read the detailed review of this brush in My Beauty Hoard which also the reason I want them so badly!

I have been in dilemma when choosing Dior Spring 2012 collection, I bought Dior Garden Roses eyeshadow palette at the end but the Garden Clutch in Changi Airport not too expensive and I’m totally sold with the pretty packaging.  More reviews and swatches coming soon and Have a great weekend everyone!
