Anyone feeling festive - Gold & Purple

Have you ever woken up in the morning and just had that festive feeling?!?  Because that's how I felt when I woke up in the morning.  Maybe because xmas is just a week away or maybe I just woke up feeling festive no one knows.  So, I went a bit crazy with my look considered it was Monday where I usually just went for something more simple and easy.  

Face Primer:  Benefit the POREfessional
Foundation:  YSL Touche Eclat - B50
Under eye:  Smashbox Under Eye Hydrating Primer
Concealer:  MAC Select Cover up - NW25
Powder:  Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder - Translucent
Eyeshadow Primer:  Illamasqua Cream Pigment - Hollow
Eyebrow:  Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake - Gaze
Eyeshadow:  Shu Uemura ME Gold 340 on the lid & ME Purple 780 along the crease
Eyeliner:  Maybelline Eyestudio Drama Gel Liner - No. 01 Black
Mascara Base:  Fairy Drops
Mascara:  Imju Dejavu Fiberwig - Deep Black
Highlighter:  Benefit - High Beam
Lips:  Lip Balm 

Shu Uemura's eyeshadow has been one of my favourite for few years because of the pigmentation and a little goes a long way.  Their gold collection especially ME Gold 340 is one of my favs, as it goes best with my skin tone without giving a wash out colour and its a pure gold as well.  In order to bring out the gold more in this look, I used illamasqua sealing gel (I swear it's the best product in the world!!!), just a drop of the gel, dip your brush into it and use it on any eyeshadows or eyeliner cake and voila, you get a more intensified colour and make the colour pop more. 



Hope you enjoy the look ^^

P.S. I just won a 12 day xmas giveaway competition from Baobella - the latest and the newest website for all beauty bloggers and beauty lovers to share!!! So watch out for some reviews about it :D

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
