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 ca...

Life

Everyone has their own life story, so have I.  Throughout the years, my life have been filled with adventures, where I experienced not only bad times but also good times and I never stop learning through those experiences to define who I am now. I have decided to write this post because I want to share and hopefully this will help and motivate others as everyone has their own ways on how to live their lives.  It will be an ongoing life experience and I have no intentions to offend anyone out there. I still can remember when I was a kid where you fear nothing and you dream of being whoever you want to be. However, one thing when I was a kid, I have this insecurity within myself due to the environment I grew up and the culture where everyone believes that you have to be pretty and skinny or you have to be super rich and intelligent to be accepted into the society. I was a chubby little girl and have darker skin whilst my brother, all my cousins and friends were thin, pre...

How am I getting on with my daily routine whilst staying home.

Image
Going into week nine with a slight ease down but I do hope that everyone is doing well, staying busy and keeping sane because I absolutely am or I have to say I am enjoying every second of it 😁 I have to say that I have been doing pretty well working from home since 17 April 2020. I think one of the reason is because there's not much changes in my routine because I'm still working five days a week and workout every morning. I do have to say that at present the advantage of working from home is that I gained an additional two hours sleep and I don't have to travel to the office for the foreseeable future.  In addition, I also get to spend more time with my baby girl so who has the time to complain right 😍 Here we go: I always start my morning with a cup of hot lemon, and ginger tea mixed with 1 teaspoon of collagen peptide, +/- 1 hour morning walk around the estates, quick workout before getting ready for work. Except on Sunday morning where I will have pancake i...
