Illamasqua 'The Sacred Hour'

Happy Friday dolls, 
Last week I went to the launch of Illamasqua new collection called 'The Sacred Hour' exclusively at Selfridges.  This event last for 2 hours where we were given some yummy drinks, the chances to meet Alex Box - Illamasqua Creative Director where she told us the story behind their new collection, David Horne - Director of Product Development where he talked about their new Skin Based Lift Concealer and the chances to explore and tested their new products. 
So, what did I get from my redeemable £30, fufufu

From Top Clockwise:
  1. Reflection Palette 
  2. The Shard Lipstick
  3. Skin Based Lift Concealer No. 2
To be honest, this is by so far my most favourite collection from Illamasqua not because the other collections weren't great.  However, the theme behind this collection has the most impact towards my own personal life and how sometimes one can forget their own identity and the spiritual side of life due to the modern living and the influence of outsiders.  This collection is to tell us to embrace ourselves and to love ourselves for all we have been through and the imperfection that comes with it, because we are perfect as who we are.  
I completely fallen in love with this new collection especially their eyeshadow palette and the lipstick which was inspired by London current tallest building 'Shard' - a gorgeous red wine colour that suits any skin tone. 
The Look I created using the three items from above.
Eyes:  Mixture of Acute and Graphica on the eyelid and Precipice on the inner corner as a highlighter
Lips:  The Shard 
The texture of their new palette are pretty spongey and you can apply them only using your fingers from light to intense look and they are water resistant.  The lipstick never stop amazed me and this colour will definitely be in my make up staple (I even received loads of compliment for it ;)

 Hope you enjoy it and have a lovely 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...
