All About Eyes


Last week I was all about Illamasqua Magnetism lipstick, this week I'm back to my old make-up routine a.k.a Smoke eyes.  Smokey eyes has always been one of my favourite eye make-up because it is easy but still giving you that smoulder, sexy and never boring.  All you need is a black eye-liner and some dark eyeshadow colour, but nowadays you can use any colour to create smokey eyes and never forget to blend blend blend the colour to avoid any harsh looking. 
When I first took a make-up lesson, I was told specifically for Asian eyes I should avoid any dark coloured eyeshadow because it tends to make my eyes look smaller in which I completely disagree.  It's all about experimenting with colours to find the right colour that matches you, and I have always avoided glitter shadow and always opted for a matte shadow. 


I can't remember which brands I have used for these looks, but they included Urban Decay Naked Palette, Bobbi Brown Cool Party Eye Palette (last xmas collection), MAC and Coastal Scents.






 What kind of eye make-up look is your favourite?  ^^

October Purchased

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
