Weekend Haul…

Sunday, May 10, 2009

Just a short post… I visited Sephora this weekend to check out the limited nail polish collection from NARS.  I also went to MAC to get a brush since I still had a bit left on my gift card. =]  My haul…

Nail polishes – Tallulah & Blue Lagoon.  I’ve been lemming for a dark purple polish =]

Brush – MAC 217… I’m slowly building my collection… ssslllllooowwwllyyyy…

MAC A Rose Romance Haul + Look!

Thursday, May 7, 2009

My haul is quite microsized haha… Here’s what I bought

IMG_2307[Loving Touch See Thru Lip Colour, Silverthorn e/s, Love & Friendship Nail Laquer]

The collection was really pretty, but I had to limit myself to what I should get=[

I already have Creme-de-Violet… Here’s the look I did …

IMG_2436 

IMG_2345

I took Creme-de-Violet and put it all over the lid, then I took Silverthorn and it put over Creme-de-Violet on the inner half.  I then intensified the outer corner with a bit more Creme-de-Violet and just a hint of Black Tied e/s.

On the lower lash line… Silverthorn on the inner half, and Creme-de-Violet on the outer half.

I put on falsies to finish the look… Something I rarely do because I really SUCK at it haha… I’m getting better at it though! =]  I received these falsies from a swap.  It’s some Korean Brand, I don’t know where the cover went so I couldn’t really tell you much about it.

IMG_2401 On my cheeks … Nars Sin

Lips: Mac – Gingerroot lipliner, Marquise’D l/s, Love Nector l/g

Purples…..

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Me + purple… so predictable!  Here’s another purple look I did.  This time, it’s a bit less dramatic, more on the chic side, I’d say.

IMG_2299

I only used 2 colours here =] MAC Satin Taupe on lid and Nocturnelle on lower lash line.  Then the rest of the same old routine… liner + mascara haha  That’s basically it!

FOTD - Smokey Purple

Sunday, April 26, 2009

Me love me purples! =]  I love how it brings out my brown eyes.

IMG_2234

I tried something new this time.  For the outer corner, I decided to try to mix two colours together – I used MAC’s Parfait Amour & Nocturnelle together.    Parfait Amour has a blue undertone to it, and together with Nocturnelle, it turned out beautifully! =]

IMG_2214 IMG_2217 

For the inner half of my lid, I used Beautiful Iris (also by MAC)

Foundation: Smashbox Halo Powder – Light

Blush – NARS Oasis

Lips:

IMG_2258

I kept the kips more natural looking because the eyes are a bit more dramatic.  I used:  Gingerroot lip liner, High Tea l/s & Fluorabundance lipglass (all MAC).

Instead of just lining the top lashes and the outer half of my lower lashes, I rimmed my entire eye this time to give it that more dramatic effect.

The finished look:

EOTD – Simple Blue

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

 IMG_2174 IMG_2175

Blue is not an easy color to wear, but Lancome’s Luring e/s is beautiful.  It’s more like a duochrome – blueish purple, but it looks more blue.

I used MAC’s Tete-A-Tint first, and then I put Lancome’s Luring on top.  Then I lined my eyes and went over the lid with another layer of Luring, so you don’t see black as a liner.  Nice and Subtle =]

EOTD – Simple Smokey Black, Inspired by Ashley Greene

ashley greene

Most of you probably know, Ashley Greene portrays Alice Cullen in Twilight.  She’s absolutely gorgeous here.  I think she looks better in long hair too. =]

I wasn’t really doing anything special this weekend, so I really toned down the look, and smudged my liner out.

I used a MAC Paint that I believe has been discontinued.  I’m not even sure what it is called.  It’s black with silver sparkles in it.    Then I intensified the outer corner with MAC Black Tied e/s, and smudged it on the lower lash line.  I lined my eyes with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, then smudged the liner out with Black Tied. Apply mascara… and done =]

To intensify the look, you can layer on the paint, or whatever black base you use and rim the entire eye with a black liner, and don’t smudge it out.  For even more ‘oomph’ put on some falsies at the outer corner. =]
