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?

Japalang Presents The Beauty Bazaar Sales 2013

I was really tied up on Friday and Saturday and could not make it for "The Beauty Bazaar" 

Reading through the feeds in Instagram and Facebook made it worse. 

I remember the cheap thrills last year when it was still held in the Ubi. 

I told myself repeatedly that I should not even think about it as there are still tonns of other beauty products unopened unused untouched. But Reality sinks in. 

And since it's the last day, it might be even cheaper and better isn't it? 

I finally sccummb to My evil thoughts and made a trip down about 4pm. 

Boy was I not disappointed. 

I just headed straight to the makeup collection. 

24hr 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner Pencil : $9 

Luv Carat Loose Powder : 3 for $10 (up is $39.90)

G : 4 for $10 

Naruko : 3 for $19 

Aromatic Flower Diffuser : $5 

Hello Kitty Mask : 7 pcs FOC 

 

I have not tried Naruko produts before as they are a wee bit on the high end for me as a drug store brand. 

So I am really delighted to have their 3 star products for only $19 😘 

I am going to begin my Naruko journey today 😉

Secrets to Pore-less Skin

Ever wanted or dream of having flawless or poreless skin like some models or artistes do?



Benefit POREfessional is here to the rescue



I have a lot a lot a lot of visible pores on both my cheeks.

After toning, I dab just a wee bit of POREfessional on both my cheeks and middle of my forehead, nose and around my eyes.

 I totally skipped BB Cream or foundation and just want to try POREfessional on its own.

The texture is silky smooth and has a powdery feel. It is light weight too.

I apply my compact powder after POREfessional to set and my pores seems to disappear.

After about 6-8 hours outdoor, my T Zone is still pretty matt and my pores are still missing in action.

My friends wonder if I have changed my BB cream or foundation

BUT

I smiled and waved POREfessional at them.

I am concerned with my clogged pores

As I do experience them if I ever use the wrong products as my pores are pretty prone to clogging.

Since they are big, open and visible right?

When I washed my face upon reaching home,

I am surprised to see that my face or rather my pores are really clean and no signs of clogging at all.

I am very happy with my new found love.

At last, I can totally skip BB Cream or Foundation

And simply apply POREfessional and set myself with compact powder aftermath.

Be Right Back

I am away, in the Walt Disney Princess Make Over for a couple of weeks.

I am enjoying myself as THE Photographer

So hey, I can do makeup as well as photo shoot (*^◯^*)

Not bad hur . . .

Color Artistry Made Easy By Lancome with Michelle Phan

I was invited by TANGS to attend the Color Artistry with Michelle Phan.

It was an eventful afternoon with loads of beauty tips and secrets.

Michelle shared with us the essential brushes for us to take along during our Summer holidays

The types of brushes for eye makeup and its functionality

As well as creating Long Lasting Double Eyelid WITHOUT Surgery

Yes . . .

You heard it right

Long lasting double eyelid without surgery

Amazing?

I was really stunned and surprised with her DIY method



The trick is to stick double sided double eyelid tape on your eyes consecutively for at least 2 weeks.

Even when you bath or sleep

Let's say if the tape drop or peel off?

Just take a new one and stick it back to the original place

IF

You are not comfortable with having a tape on your eyelid consecutively for 2 weeks,

You can also sleep overnight with the tape and peel it off the very next day.

According to Michelle, the so called fake double eyelid will stay in place for the rest of the day.

I used double eyelid tape on my left eye too.

And whenever I removed my double eyelid tape after a day's wear (about 6-8 hours)

Even after double cleansing my face,

The double eyelid line or fold, you call it

IS Still Intact

It has never occur to me to stick it up during the night time, sleep through it till the very next day.

But

With Michelle's reminder, I am so going to try it.



Another interesting tip that Michelle share with us is the thickness of our brows.

A simple analogy:



The same painting will look big and filled with a thick border frame.

If you place the same painting in a thin border frame, the painting will look small and empty.

Likewise, if our brows are a wee bit thicker, the space between the brow and lid will significantly decrease

which induces your eye to seems bigger.

If your brows are slightly thinner, the space between the brow and lid will significantly increase,

which might make your eyes seems a little smaller.

The above photo spells it all, isn't it?

Well, be it thick or thin, you just have to find out which suits you better.

Thick eyebrow makes you look young and nice

BUT

Thin eyebrow makes your face shape look slimmer and lift it up.

The choice is entirely up to you.

As Michelle is Lancome Video Make Up Artist,

Lancome has also came up with a Limited Edition set inspired by her



The shades in Ombre Absolue Palette F95 is shimmering which is easily build up.

I especially love the grey which is ultra glittering and with few layers, I can easily have a soft smoky eye.

Understand that the Limited Edition set has temporary sold out,

BUT

Do keep a look out at Lancome Face Book Fan Page

Who knows they might restock due to overwhelming response.

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
