Skyfall + Illamasqua

I mentioned that I would try on some Illamasqua products, so here we go.  It's getting colder and freezing in London and it's officially winter now, brrr which means time for Jumper and Hot Cocoa everyday (I wish hehe).


I have been dying to watch Skyfall since the premiere, but when we went during the premiere it was only the front row left (sobs :'().  But, finally we got a chance to watch it and I absolutely loved it especially the soundtrack by Adele.  Obviously, all Bond's movie will cover the action, the cars, and the women.  However, Skyfall seems to me was more of a darker side of Bond where he covers using his charm. 
Anyways, for this time I went for all natural look and a comfy jumper because I was in one of those days where I just couldn't be bothered to do anything as it's way too cold outside. 
No Make-up look
For this look, I only used Primer as a base and powder.  I tried Illamasqua cream pigment in Hollow and I absolutely loving the product because it's so so natural and match my skin tone that you can't really tell that I am applying any of them. 
Can you tell?!?
Left: without Hollow
Right:  with Hollow
Both after using Hollow - how natural is that ^^
Obey lip colour
I personally feel that Obey lip colour is drier compare to Magnetism whilst both of them are in Matt finish.  Maybe I should wear more lip balm before applying the lipstick, I am not too sure just yet.  I love the colour and it's a closer color to MAC Please Me, but Obey is more peachy tone compare to Please Me.
Final Look ^^
Face Primer:  Illamasqua Matt Primer - Matt Finish
Highlighter:  YSL Touche Eclat - No. 02
Powder:  Make up Forever HD Microfinish Powder - Translucent
Eyebrow:  Smashbox Brow Tech to Go - Brunette
Eyes:  Illamasqua Cream Pigment - Hollow
Mascara:  Smashbox Mascara Full Exposure - Black
Lips:  Illamasqua Lipstick - Obey
As I went for a very natural look, I spiced it up with a nail varnish also from Illamasqua in Spartan and a Glitter Bow from Crown & Glory that I got as a complementary from ILWF event (blog post come up soon ^^) 


Well, I guess that's it for now.  All I can say is that I really love Illamasqua products and I'll definitely be getting more of their products in the future.  It's always good to explore new things in life.  Have a lovely weekend ^^

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

Image
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
