Moss Scape + Fresh Green Mix

Image
been missing my MAC paint pots for a while so i thought of resurrecting one - Moss Scape. eyes: Shu Uemura Pro Spot concealer (undereye) MAC Moss Scape p/p - (all over lid) MAC Fresh Green Mix e/s - lime green on inner to middle lid, marbled green on middle to outer lid MAC Femme-Fi e/s - highlight MAC Penultimate Eyeliner - lashline Laura Mercier eyeliner - waterline MAC Browshader Soft Charcoal - brows L'Oreal Telescopic mascara - lashes face: L'Egere BB cream Joppa Medium Light #3 Aromaleigh URFP Peaches and Cream MAC Nuance blush MAC Bombshell l/s i can't believe that my Moss Scape p/p is still very moist after a year! it also made the mineralized eyeshadow i used to stick like am using UDPP without foiling them, awesome! also, i'm finding it prettier to wear peachy blushes now. huh, and i thought i'd never ever stay a week without a pink blush. i should get more peach blushes then, as now i only have one and the rest are all pink! do you

accessories haul

Image
my family went to Jurong Point yesterday to hopefully see a movie but there were no interesting movies that the whole family can see. How to Train your Dragon is on but only in 3D so we didn't see it - the hubby and i can't stand 3D movies, we get dizzy! as we leave the cinema premises, my daughter saw an accessories store and she got a ponytail & 2 black hairclips while i got 3 giant colorful hairclips. my fave is the first one - deep purple almost like indigo. the last one reminds me of MAC Art Supplies' Blooming Lovely lipstick. afterwards, there wasn't much to do in that mall so my kids asked to head home. not wanting to waste this trip to the mall, i made a quick plead to buy new shoes as i am in bad need of flats. i browsed several boutiques but didn't find anything interesting until i went in Charles & Keith. i asked assistance to fit 3 pairs but i didn't get any of them. the first one look ugly on my feet, the second one only had one size bigge

i know yellows/golds don't look flattering on me, but i really like Rush Metal and i wanted to spruce up my day because the weather was a bit gloomy yesterday. eyes: Shu Uemura Pro Spot concealer (undereye) UDPP - (all over lid) MAC Goldmine e/s - inner to middle lid MAC Rush Metal p/g - applied wet on middle to outer lid MAC Fairylite p/g - applied dry on browbone Maybelline Eye Studio Creamy Gel liner - lashline Laura Mercier eyeliner - waterline MAC Browshader Soft Charcoal - brows L'Oreal Telescopic mascara - lashes face: L'Egere BB cream Joppa Medium Light #3 Aromaleigh URFP Peaches and Cream MAC Nuance blush MAC Heatherette Hollywood Nights l/s Avon Glazewear Lipstick in Champagne Glow happy weekend girls!

my first TSS piggies

Image
i've been intrigued with The She Space pigments for the longest time and about five weeks ago, i was able to put my very first order with them. i got 6 pigments in total - Powdered Diamond Dust line. to be honest, the anticipation almost killed me because the description of the colors were exciting. boy was i wrong that i will reorder - i think this will be my last order with them. :-( you'll know why in a bit. in case you can't make it out, the date encircled in red says March 11. they sent it to me 4 weeks after i ordered it, a week later than their promised 3 weeks. *sigh* take note, i got this yesterday so the actual shipment only took 1 week to Singapore. this is one of the reasons why i won't be a repeat customer. Aromaleigh sent me my eyeshadows in less than 10 days i've ordered them previously and that was when i was residing in Manila, which has a pretty shitty postal service. moving on... i appreciate that everything was packed in nicely and nothing spille

White Queen inspired look

Image
since seeing Alice in Wonderland, i can't help but admire the character's makeup. i really am itching to do Red Queen's but am pressed for time today so i thought it'll be easy to copy White Queen's instead. L'Egere BB cream Joppa Medium Light #3 Aromaleigh URFP Peaches and Cream Shu Uemura Pro Spot concealer (undereye and lids) Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing - brows L'Oreal Telescopic mascara - lashes Milani Minerals Luminous blush Laura Mercier Creme Lip Colour in Seduction Laura Mercier Shimmer Lip Colour in Amaretto (on top of Seduction) initially i thought, "this look is going to be simple to recreate". so not true! look at me, very dark black brows don't suit me at all haha i almost looked like a guy. ~LMAO~ very prominent lip shade also seem to not look very flaterring on me overall as my lips are already full to start with - putting on dark lip shades made it look even fatter. haha. oh well, but this look was fun to t

Freshwater + Jardin Aires ... on my daughter

Image
the other day my daughter asked me to put on makeup on her just for fun. i have a feeling she'll follow my footsteps one day being kikay (girly). ;~D on her: (eyes) MAC Freshwater all over lid, MAC Jardin Aires p/g on browbone and MAC Penultimate Eye Liner on her lashline (lips) MAC CremeSheen Glass Creme Anglaise wow, what do you know? blue suits her too, just like it does on me hehe.

Black Tied + Silver Stroke

Image
went to the office looking like this last Friday. it was the first time i also used my UDPP. eyes: Shu Uemura Pro Spot concealer (undereye) Urban Decay Primer Potion - all over lid MAC Black Tied e/s - all over lid MAC Femme-Fi e/s - highlight MAC Universal Brow Marker MAC Brow Shader (Soft Charcoal) MAC Silverstroke f/l - lashline L'Oreal Telescopic mascara - lashes Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing - lashes face: L'Egere BB cream Joppa Medium Light #3 MAC Blonde MSF MAC Pleasantry (cheeks) MAC lip conditioner (lips) MAC CremeSheen Glass Creme Anglaise (lips) i must say UDPP is a bit better than TFSI. my eye makeup started to crease 12 hours after putting it on - with TFSI usually it creases after 10 hours. it certainly has a bit of an advantage but for S$32 a bottle, am thinking twice because i don't know if it will last longer than TFSI since it's on a weird looking bottle everyone says i must saw off to get every product inside while TFSI is

OPI Ink

Image
am currently in love with this unique nail color. no wonder lots of nail addicts have it on their nail arsenal. this color is sooo cool, it looks like blue-indigo-violet in different lights/angles. it has purple and pink reflects in it, for me this color looks like a gem! applying this color sort of jumps start my turning-cold love affair with nail polishes. oh.. love love it! ~_^

Sephora haul

Image
last week, i was able to finally see what Sephora ION had to offer and am glad i dropped by because i just found out Urban Decay already reached Singapore's shores! of course, i had to get their Primer Potion. the other day my family and i went to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland so i thought of looking for UD's Alice in Wonderland palette. they were sold out! darn. i was also tempted to get their 24/7 glide-on eye pencils but i remembered reading reviews that it doesn't stay long on oily lids... too bad! hmn... but now that i've mentioned it, maybe UDPP application before lining my eyes will help? haha am fueling my lemmings lol. wow, i think i'll get addicted to UD too. *gulp* i noticed they also have the Guerlain Cherry Blossoms Jeu d’Ombrelles Eyeshadow Quad and got curious. damn, the deep burnt eggplant shadow called to me!!! but i was disappointed not to get one because it's the only color i love in the palette and the set costs S$87! *sigh* 2nd shade
