W7 Smokey Eyes Makeup set

Last month, I joined a 12 days Xmas Giveaway from Baobella - the up and coming beauty sharing network for all beauty addicts and I won a Xmas make-up gift set from W7.  I had the products on last week but only today that I got a chance to post some of the step by step photos today. 
I forgot to add the nail polish in Black Glitter boo hoo me 
Overall Products I used
Eyes Products
Recently, I have started my make-up from eyes apart from when I am in a rush.  Thought a bit of change would be nice and when it comes to smokey eyes, I have always make sure that I lined both my inner rims before I start applying eyeshadows. 

Before and make sure you always moisturised your face and under eye
Start by applying eye primer, I'm using Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow - water resistant so it last the whole day without leaving any colours creased or smudged
Apply the second darkest along the crease line - try to avoid the lids 
Apply medium shade from inner corner of the eye and stop right in the middle of the lid
Apply the darkest shade at the outer corner and blend blend blend to avoid any harsh line - key to smokey eyes
Add the highlights under the brow bone, apply black eyeliner and filled in the brows
Before Mascara and make sure to clean up all the excess using baby wipes
Close up
After tons of mascara and add the highlights from the palette on the tear duct to make your eyes pop up
For the face:

From left to right: 
  1. Illamasqua Matt Primer 
  2. Illamasqua Skin Based Foundation in 8.5 
  3. Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Emerge - swear I have been using this as a replacement of concealer
  4. W7 Matt Bronzer
  5. Beauty Blender - my Holy Grail ^^ 

Before Loose Powder
Don't freak out with the amount of the bronzer, it's my personal choice to always apply bronzer before setting them up with Loose Powder
After Loose Powder
Final Look:

Finishing off the look with a touch of Peach Blush, Highlight along the cheekbones and a dab of Sonnet lipstick 
Different version - if you dare to go all out by adding a touch of red or berry lipstick.  I don't believe in making rules when it comes to applying colours so long they look good on you and you are comfortable with it ^^


My take on the products:  I love them especially the eyeshadow palette and the bronzer coz it's matte.  However, the eyeliner doesn't stay put and the mascara smudged after couple of hours - maybe that's coz of my asian eyes who tend to have watery eyes.  So I would probably be using the eyeliner and mascara only occasionally but not on the night out as it will definitely leave me with *panda* eyes lol. 
I hope you all enjoy it and have a great day ^^ xxx

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...
