Blue Angel

It has been quite a while since I've posted a blog... it's because i was on 2 weeks holiday, sitting at home, chilling with my husband...

Last month, I went to my friend's wedding... and I did a look which lots of people admired... I was impressed myself coz it really turned out quite well...

I would like to call this look as Blue Angel (don't ask me why... it was just something i thought immediately) anyway, following are the products that I used for the look...

Estee Lauder Cyber White in 12 Warm Honey

Body Shop 05 all in one face base

Blusher - Pink Jazz from Signature Mineral

Bronze Glow from Coastal Scents (for contour)

Eyes

Base - NYX Jumbo Pencil in Baby Blue

Mascara- Maybelline Volume Express (for volume)

Silkygirl's Moisture Gloss in 13 Eternal Pink

I hauled some NYX products last month... i'll definitely review the product in my next post...

Not an expert

I've been wondering... I love cosmetology... but I can't seem to grasp the art of doing makeup... it always seem to be sloppy for me... I wonder what am I doing wrong... Could it be, I need more experience... well, maybe... I only started to wear makeup bout the age of 16... so, that's about 12 years... but I only seriously started about a year ago... so I think that proves I am in lack of experience...

after watching fafinettex3 and Sarah Victor's youtube video... I really wanted to be an expert like them... but I think it's just not working coz I am not equipped with proper tools.. but my so called expertism is working fine when I tried to beautify my sister or friends... ugh!!! maybe this is something that i may never understand... let's see in a year time whether I have improved myself...

My Mini Haul

I just bought myself a stila lip palette, stila precision eye liner and a smashbox eye brow tech trio... I bought it online (as usual) coz it's way cheap than buying it at the stores itself. I bought it from Acmamall.com... They were having 30% discount on all beauty item and also RM2 cash back. The deal is too good to let go... so I decided to do some haul... There are other brands which have not arrived in Malaysia yet.. such as smashbox, vincent longo, paula dorf... it's worth checking out... Acmamall.com gives free shipping too for all beauty products.

Smashbox Brow Tech Trio RM37.63

I love the wax and the Brunette (dark brown) just suits me well. The wax really helps to put my unruly brows in place. I'd definitely buy this again... I need to have proper brush though to apply the colour to my brow... I'm still waiting for my Coastal Scent's eyebrow brush... so, my brows are going to look awesome...

Stila Precision EyeLiner Brush (RM 46.66)

This brush is so great... it's really really awesome... At first i thought it looked like lip brush... but i tried using this on my gel eyeliner... and it glides so smooth and the outcome was just great... And for a good product at RM40++ I think i'm just impressed with myself :P

Mixable Lip Duo Palette (Limited Edition) RM94.82

This is the most expensive of all the haul... I was thinking whether it's worth buying them... Currently, I'm using MAC lipstick (which I love) and it cost me RM63 per lipstick... so, i thought since I'm getting 5 colours in this palette for RM 94... why don't i just get it??? I was quite disappointed though... coz I was expecting a big palette... but it was rather small... anyway, I love the colours... and it looks great on me too... oh yeah... it comes with a lip brush too...

I think these are pretty good deal... especially the brow tech trio and the eyeliner brush... coz the original price are quite expensive.

Makeup Looks

This is the smokey eye technique...

I use pink and red combination a lot... don't know why... maybe coz I have too many red dresses

These are a few looks using Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette... I'm still working on creating more videos... so far, I manage to complete one video only...

My favourite Benefit Cosmetics

Benefit Cosmetics are simply awesome... I first started using them last year... i spent almost RM1.5K to buy their product. And the results are simply amazing... my friends noticed that I glow and I look naturally beautiful... :P so, I told them that thanks to Benefit for the natural glow... Unfortunately, I don't think I can afford to buy their product coz it's just way to expensive for me... imaging only a few of their stuff and I already spent 1.5K... I pity my hubby coz I don't want him to go bald coz of my spending habit... so, I decided to change to cheap but quality cosmetics... I realise that all that matters in the world of beauty is techniques... if you are good in applying makeup, it is not necessary for you to use expensive makeups...

Anyhew.... I still love their some kind-a gorgeous foundation... I think it's the best coz it gives me the flawless effect on my face...

Before applying the foundation, I always make sure that I wear their Dr. Feelgood... coz it certainly makes me feel good... I think it's best face primer ever...

And I just adore their lipgloss... It last me quite long... but of course, if I eat the gloss doesn't stay... but at least it last me from 8am to 1pm (lunch time) and I'll reapply again... the gloss will shine till I wash it off... cool eh... I don't think I can find any other gloss which can compete with this... So, I definitely will keep on buying this stuff no matter how expensive they are...

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

black bean
gold
horse radish
pots and pans
baby blue

I love this NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. You can't find this product in Malaysia but that didn't deter me from buying one... Yes, I bought it online and at a lot cheaper as well... If you look at the NYX website, I think they charge about US$3 but I bought this for US$2 only.

I just love... love... love this product so much... I use it as base before applying eyeshadows... and my eyeshadows stay till I wash it off. I've only bought 6of them which is

Baby Blue, Pots & Pans, Horse Raddish, Strawberry Milk, Black Bean and gold.

I also bought Estee Lauder's Double Wear, Stay-In- Place Shadowstick, and I must say that these NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils are so much better... thank god, i've bought one shade only from Estee Lauder ( coz it's expensive, RM 60). My 6 NYX Jumbo Pencils cost me less than RM50 (yes, all of them). I'm so happy I am so good in saving money... hahahaha...

Coastal Scents

I received my package from Coastal Scents yesterday... I ordered the 88 Ultra Shimmer Make up Palette and 3 brushes :

Pink Oval Taklon Lip Brush $1.60
Pink Deluxe Oval Shadow Brush $1.99
Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette $24.95
Pink Oval Fluff Shadow Brush $1.69

I love the Ultra Shimmer 88 EYe Shadow... I was in dilemma to select the colours to makeup for the day... :P the colours are great and they are pigmented... as for the brushes... I find it difficult to use the brushes I bought from Coastal Scents for the Ultra Shimmer shadows... The colours just refuse to stick on my lid... but when I use the brush given by the palette... it sticked well... and the colours are so nice and shimmery on my eyes...

Oh yes, the package was delivered quite fast... I'm staying in Malaysia and I received the package in 10 days... and that delivery is for the cheapest option... wow!!! I love Coastal Scents...

Look at how beautiful they are!!!
