Look of the Day - Summer Bronze


Summer nearly over and finally London is filled with sunshine, heat, bbq and this week the temperature hits nearly 30 degrees.  I woke up this morning and couldn't decide what should I do with my make up because of the heat.  As much as I love sunshine, I hate the heat!!!  I decided to go for bronze + gold because it is summer and gold for my eyes because of the olympics fever.  However, I skipped foundation completely as I didn't want to ended up having my make up melt in the middle of the day and had my hair up in a bun because it was way too hot!!!
Face:  Smashbox Primer Photo Finish Luminizing (gives you that natural radiant summer glow)
Concealer:  MAC Prep+Prime in Light Boost & Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Natural
Powder:  Diamond Lash - Diamond Puff Dolly Face Matte Loose Powder
Eye Prep:  MAC - Paint Pot in Painterly
Eyebrow:  Benefit - Brow zings in Dark
Eyeshadow:  Shu Uemura in ME Gold 340 on the lids & Bourjois Ombre Stretch in 04 Flexi Brown along the crease 
Mascara:  Loreal Voluminous in Black 
Cheekbones & Bridge of Nose:  Benefit - High Beams
Bronzer:  Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Aruba along the hollow cheeks 
Lipgloss:  Melliesh in No.2 Baby Doll 



Personally I have never been a big fan of gold eyeshadow because it has a tendency to make me look washed out, however, this gold color from shu uemura is a must have as it is one of those color that will look great with all skin tone.  I love shu uemura's eyeshadow collection as they are very pigmented and last for a day.  Gold color will be very popular for A/W 2012 as well as cobalt blue and bright lipstick.  Therefore, I think it is worth to get your hands on them ^^
What your favourite color for Summer then?

October Purchased

Image
Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is
