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 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...
