Sometimes in life, you’d be happy you gave some people or things a second chance. Other times, you just want to hit yourself for not having learnt from the adage ‘Once Bitten, Twice Shy’.
One such product that makes me wanna hit myself hard is the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner.
I must sound like a broken record by now, but I like my eyeliner black – VERY BLACK.
Yo-hey everyone!
I spent my Saturday afternoon jostling with the crowd to get my shopping done at 30% discount for regular items and 15% for sale items at BHG Tampines. Great time to catch a sale! I was intending to get some Bourjois stuff from Watsons when my mum told me about the BHG sale.
It’s a good time to get Christmas presents too!
I spent more than I intended before I stepped in, but hey, I didn’t shop all for me! So I felt better. Lol.
As usual, the first area I approached was the cosmetics counters, and here’s my loot! (I didn’t think you’d be interested in my other stuff – clothes, bags, lingerie, footwear)
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (52)
Bourjois Flower Perfection Foundation (52 Vanilla)
Bourjois Liner Glitter Fizz Eyeliner (31 Black Star)
Bourjois Contour Clubbing Waterproof (45 Blue Remix)
L’Oreal Color Infallible Eyeshadow (022 Emerald Lame)
Pupa Multiplay Triple-Purpose Eye Pencil (07, 02)
Kate Eyeshadow JC (GD-1)
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick reviews (035 Blush)
I love shopping but hate the carrying afterwards! My shopping bags were so heavy I could hardly walk straight. So unglam. =(
Anyway, you’re gonna see reviews of these goodies soon! I’m so excited to try them out myself!
What about you? Have you started on your Christmas shopping?
Konnichiwa my friends… Welcome to the sacred session of geisha makeup. Today we will learn how to whiten the face, apply red eyeshadow, contour the face, and get that famous red pout…
Hmmm? You’re asking how to create the bloodied side of my face? That wasn’t a creation, my dear…
*giggles in shrill laughter
LOL!
Okie. Ahem.
(Check out more pictures of my Halloween nights as a geisha here!)
2 weeks before, I didn’t have any idea what/who I wanted to be for Halloween this year.
My best friend and I went to check out some costume shops in Singapore with zero intention to rent any. We just wanted to get into the Halloween mood and see ourselves in weird costumes.
If there is one face brush I had to choose, and one brush only, to apply everything from foundation to contouring powder to bronzer to blush to highlight, it would be the Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush.
When I made the switch from compact foundation to liquid foundation (*ahem* powder accentuates fine lines. Signs of aging), I didn’t know how to apply liquid foundation properly. Recommendations included the use of fingers, makeup wedges, makeup the expensive MAC 187 and Beauty Blender.
I never liked applying liquid foundation with my fingers because firstly, how clean can your fingers get? Secondly, some liquid foundations take such effort to wash off! The Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation is one – it just makes the fingers and hand all oily and yucky. Lastly and most importantly, the use of fingers to apply liquid foundation never gave me that effect Sigma F80 has.
As for makeup wedges, I bought a pack of 20 and the remaining pack of 15 are still sitting there pretty, waiting for the day I will use them for… art and craft, maybe? They soak up so much liquid foundation product and leave little to apply on the skin! Disastrous! And they’re not exactly environmentally-friendly, what with all that disposable throwing away business, ya know~
I did a lot of research on the best brush to apply liquid foundation with, and it came down to 2 brushes – the MAC 187 Duo Fibre Brush (U$42.00) and the Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush (U$16.00).
I was hearing a lot about the New Lancome Maqui Miracle product range that promises to ‘unveil your skin’s radiance with the new Aura-Bright technology’.
I never get taken in to bombastic words that merely describe some new formula tweaked from the old. On the other hand, I get deceived by the highly photoshopped faces that model for the brand and products. HAHAHA!
The MAKE UP FOR EVER Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation is a great love of mine due to the matte finish it gives, but it goes on a little rich and perhaps because of its opaque squeeze tube, I never know how much of the product is left. So I feel insecure about it running out soon.
A light-weight foundation for everyday use would be ideal. Then I chanced upon the Lancome Maqui Blanc Miracle which is made in Japan and specifically for Asian skin. HOORAY!
