MAC and Illamasqua Make up Haul

Hey dolls, hope everyone is well and looking forward to long weekend.  Unfortunately, I have to work this whole weekends which is annoying but hey someone got to pay the bills I supposed ^^. 
I finally got to use my MAC birthday gift card which I received last year as my birthday present (I know - it has been a year ago) but I only got around to it now because I wasn't sure what to get from MAC especially I have most of their make up, plus I need to clear some of my make up in which I haven't used or never used a.k.a spring clean. 
I didn't only go to MAC but also stopped by Illamasqua to attend their Smooth and Sculpting Interactive Workshop as well as their Vintage Glamour Masterclass - say you can't not stop by Illamasqua when you are around Carnaby street can you.  
So, this was what I got from MAC and Illamasqua ^^
From Illamasqua:  Precision Gel Liner in Infinity and Hydra Veil - both are their new products that came out few weeks ago. 
From MAC:  Lip Pencil in Boldly Bare and Lipstick in Creme Cup
Hydra Veil

 I must honestly said that I heart this product as it is not only work as a make up base but also work as a skincare at the same time.  It is a gel based and all you need is only a half teaspoon size and it dries so fast.  My morning routine has always been a rushed, therefore it's great to find a primer where you don't need to work for it to set and it leaves the skin hydrated.  
Top:  Boldly Bare
Bottom:  Creme Cup
I have seen few beauty bloggers using Creme Cup lipstick in most of their tutorials and I thought it'd be great to try them on.  It's a lovely pink colour (sorry for the picture quality) with a sheen finish and I used it on top of the lip liner to give it a more semi-matte look.  These two products will definitely be my make up staples from now on. 
Hope you ladies enjoy and have a great weekend xoxo

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...
