British Exchange Inspired EOTD with The Body Shop Color Crust

The Body Shop Singapore recently launched a new line of Eye Shadow known as

 

Colour Crush™

 

 

The new line of eye shadow contains

finely crushed pigments and marula oil.

The colour is rich, intense and buildable with layers.

What is interesting about the new line is

You can use the colours Wet or Dry

Simply by wetting your eye shadow brush with a little water

Using the colours wet will give you a more intense payoff

With the upcoming Digital Fashion Week,

Inspired with the theme British Exchange

I have used both Blackcurrent Affair

together with Moonlight Kiss

for a soft smoky eye look

 

 

I used Blackcurrent Affair all over my eyelid up to my crease line

 

Then

 

Use Moonlight Kiss at the outer corner of my eyelid giving my eye more depth 

 

 

A closer look at my eye makeup under natural white light

 

 

In warm orange light

 

 

And of course

 

I do use a highlighter to highlight my brow bone giving the illusion of wider eye

Where am I wearing this makeup to?

Avoid Leaving Lipsticks on Your Wine Glass

Ever had such embarrassing moments where you will leave your lip gloss or lipstick stains on your glass?

I hate it loads and hence will never ever apply colored lip gloss

Just a coat of lip balm or transparent lip gloss

What my other girlfriends would do is to use a straw

But then again, they would also leave stains on the straw which is still unsightly

Then some would say use Matt lipsticks

But Matt lipsticks will still leave a wee bit of stain regardless what

And even then, it is very drying for lips

Then some people would say, foundation, lipstick, blot etc

These do not work exactly

Would you go without lip gloss?

And lip gloss because of its high shine, will come off easily too

So

.

.

.

.

.

If I share with you, that there is a lip gloss which stays

Lip gloss which is lasting and waterproof

Would you be amazed and surprised?

Unbelievable?

Make Up For Ever really has such range

Aqua Rouge Lipstick is awfully Long Lasting and Water Proof

Not only is the color Long Lasting

The Glossy High Shine Top Coat is Long Lasting and Water Proof as well

I am Shocked

Cox

I have never ever hear of Water Proof Lasting Lip Gloss

This is the range of Aqua Rouge

The colors are pretty isn't it?

Very wearable and easy to carry off

Let's put Aqua Rouge to the test



See how pigmented and glossy Aqua Rouge is

I cannot remember the shade, sorry.

I am going to rub it with cream and oil remover



See how dirty and black the area is?

I rubbed it vigorously for about 5 minutes

And

*

*

*

*

* 



See that?

The color and shine still remains

The color is still that dazzling with shimmer

Aqua Rouge is not only Long Lasting and Water Proof

It is NON Transferable as well !!!

Meaning

*

*

*

*

*

You can feel safe and secure kissing, french kissing with your partner

cox he is never ever going to have your stains all over him





Make Up For Ever Black Tango Fall Collection 2012

I had always wanted to be Sensual Feminine and Seductive

Creating black smokey eye look is one of the essential

BUT

I can never pass through the messy-powder drops all over the face look

Powder shadow is a wee that bit messy with them falling and dirtying the look

Cream shadow can sometimes be too rich and difficult to blend

I have oily eye lids and color do not sit although I have prep with eye primer

Oh Well

*

*

*

*

*

Am I to bear with the messy dirty smokey eye look?

Especially when time is not on my side?

I was invited to Make Up For Ever Black Tango Fall Collection 2012

And

I am not only Impressed but totally Sold

Make Up For Ever Black Tango Palette

It is a Limited Edition Aqua Cream Palette

Consisting of FOUR new Aqua Cream shades

A harmony of Blacks with Red, Green, Blue and Ivory

The subtle and intense reflections are powerful potions of Seduction

The colors are rich and intense, highly pigmented

They are creamy but not oily

They are easily spread with fingers and even much easier with the attached brush

I do not even need to set them with powder colors at all

Not only the color stays all day, in the sun with the sweat

And even under water, in the pool

I have tried 2 looks using the Black Tango Palette

Closed Eye

Open Eyes

After - Before

Can you see how the eyes are enlarged with the contouring and falsies

Only a dab of color (Green + Blue) is blended at the corner of the eyes to give it some depth and lift

You can blend the color till the outer corner of the iris, about 1/3 of the length of your eyelid

I use Ivory under the brow bone and the inner corner, 2/3 of the eyelid for some contrast

The brush in the palette makes it much easier to blend with the firm nylon fibre bristles

Another new product from the Black Tango Collection

would be the Aqua Cream Matt Black

which is my Super Love

It has the same formula as the Aqua Cream range

But

offers a unique difference with a Matt finishing

It is also waterproof with impeccable hold

I pick up the color with my liner brush and draw an eyeliner

Remember that my eyelid is disgustingly oily

and

NO eyeliner could have stay put throughout the day without transfering colors

BUT

This little pot is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

The liner stays put and does not run nor smudge

This is my Holy Grail

I tried another Intense look with Aqua Cream Matt Black

Eye Closed

Eye Open

After - Before

You can see that the color stays obediently at the correct place,

Does Not run, Does Not smudge, Does Not transfer

AND

the color Does Not Crease!!!

Yes, the color is Matt

And

You might think that the color will crease and difficult to blend or spread

BUT

You are awfully wrong

Because of the same formula as Aqua Cream Range

Aqua Cream Matt Black is easy to blend

As easy as Aqua Cream Range

The color is Intense, Rich and Super pigmented

Aqua Cream Matt Black is one which you cannot afford to miss

It can be used BOTH as an Eyeliner or Smokey Eye Look

Layering of Shadows and playing with Socket can create the Big Eye Effect without white liners as well.
