My Beauty Diary + Blogger Meet Up

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I went from having zero My Beauty Diary masks to quite a bit in a short time. I was initially quite reluctant to get them as I heard about people breaking out after trying the masks from this brand.

A gorgeous friend from Hong Kong, Katy, gifted me with a few of the flavours and after seeing how adorable the packaging was, I succumbed to temptation and bought a few of Lunaface and Guardian Pharmacy in Singapore. They’re much cheaper over there, for some reason *pouts*

Here are the assorted flavours that I own:


Aloe
Apple Polyphenol
Bulgarian White Rose
Japanese Cherry Blossom
Mixed Berry
Pearl Powder
Provence Lavender
Sake Yeast
Strawberry Yoghurt

I can’t wait to try these masks!

Speaking of the ever sweet Luna, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet her a total of three times while I was in Singapore. This lovely girl refused to be photographed, so I can only show you guys the goodie bag that she handed me haha~


Canmake Cheek Gradation 04 Chocolate Stripe
E.L.F. Hypershine Gloss Flirt
E.L.F. Studio Eyeliner & Shadow Stick Brown/Basic
Everyday Minerals Matte Foundation Sandy Fair
Sasa HD Foundation 02 Warm Ivory
They were all housed in an Elle purse =D

I've been lemming for this Canmake blush ever since I saw it on Mona’s blog. Thank you Luna, you know me so well!

What we consumed during our last meet up~


Manhattan Seafood Platter for Two @ The Manhattan Fish Market

Thank you so much Luna for taking the time to meet me!!

I’ll show a detailed haul post of my Singapore trip soon~ It’s definitely very mask friendly haha ;D

Fall 2009 Maquillage & Esprique Precious Palettes

Sunday, November 8, 2009

The first thing I do when I see a new collection is to check out the eyeshadow palettes. These palettes were released a while ago but I just only got them~


Maquillage Eyes Creator 3D BR365
July 21st

This matte black casing is different from the usual silver and pink fare, as it’s limited edition and designed by Alexander Wang. This is the main reason I’ve been lemming for this palette since forever haha, plus it’s in a cool neutral combo!


Esprique Precious True Impact Eyes T-6
August 21st

Another LE palette puahaha! It is more popular than T-5 (another LE fall release) on cosme.net and, I’ve been looking around for a nice green palette. This fits the bill perfectly and the scalloped casing is super appealing.

Thank you Luna for helping me purchase these pretty palettes! These brands are available here, but they are cheaper in Singapore when Metro goes on sale~ And if that’s not enough, she even included some My Scheming Beauty sheet masks and extras!


My Scheming Beauty Facial Mask Arbutin Extract
My Scheming Beauty Facial Mask Bacillus Ferment
My Scheming Beauty Diamond Facial Mask Caviar Extract

I’ve tried a couple of flavours from My Scheming Beauty - Levorotary C, Sake Kojic Extract, Caviar Extract and Deep Ocean Water. They have more than 20 flavours, you definitely won’t run out of choices.. I love them and am a huge fan of Sake Kojic Extract!


benefit do it daily! moisturizer SPF 10
benefit firmology

I never thought of getting anything from benefit. It is just too overpriced here compared to the US. I better not like these two products haha!


Labello Star Fruits (Passion Fruit) Lip Balm

I’ve never heard of Labello till now *oops* I googled and it seems that it’s quite big in the lipbalm world. I’m thrilled to try something new out, I’ve been sticking to Rose & Co. Apothecary for ages =D


O2 Skin Bedazzled Eye Shadow

Is this a powder or cream shadow? It looks very interesting! This would be my second eyeshadow single, I mostly own palettes..

Isn’t Lunaface an absolute angel? Thank you once again, sweetheart ^.^

I’m ending this entry with a picture of my dessert~


Yummy green tea cake with a macaron!

FOTD: Look With Sweets Sweets PE5 Black Sugar

Thursday, November 5, 2009

How has your day been? Mine is alright and I even found the time to play with my new Sweets Sweets PE5 Black Sugar eyeshadow palette ^.^

The Perfect Eyes range has a rating of 3.9 on cosme.net. ¥ 672.


Closeup~


PE5 Black Sugar houses a nice combination of a white highlighter and a pale lilac on the top with a pale gray and dark gray at the bottom. They are all sheer, shimmery and slightly on the powdery side.

Swatches~


Natural light without flash


Artificial light without flash


Natural light with flash

I used Castledew Watershot Base #3 together with my BB cream from LJH. Didn’t use any concealers as I was feeling lazy haha and set with NARS Pressed Powder.


On my eyes I’m wearing PE5 Black Sugar layered on top of NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil 603 Pots & Pans. Lined with Visee Cream Eyeliner WP BK001. Finished with Charming Angel mascara.


Should have blended it more but I didn’t want to lose the lilac colour :[


Kept my cheeks subtle with MAC Blush of Youth.


Contoured and highlighted my nose with Daiso Nose Shadow Bronze.


On my lips, it’s L'Oreal Glam Shine Cream 303 Sexy Plum, then topped with a pale shimmery gloss.


I’ve been overly fond of cropping half of my face in my recent FOTDs. Yes, I know it makes my cheeks look fat (not that they aren’t in the first place) but bear with me, kay? =D
