The Art of Beauty

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...

Happy Friday dolls ^^ and it's finally sunshine in London yay!!! Few weeks ago I posted a blog about Crownbrush Infinity and their 'All Eyes on You' set and today's post is the look I have been rocking lately for work using their 'All Eyes on You' brush set and Urban Decay Naked Palette 1. I love Naked Palette because it has all the colours you need from light to darker shade and you can wear them alone or even mix and match them so it's perfect for my day to day from gym to work where I don't have to carry so many different products in one bag ^^  Overall Products I used: Start with the Primer and Foundation Contouring using Benefit Hoola Bronzer and Highlight using Illamasqua Gleam Aurora Half Baked on the first half of the lid Creep along the crease Smog along the outer corner, Koji Dolly Wink eyeliner in Black and tons of mascara ^^ FInished off with a touch of blush from MAC Immortal Flower and a glide of Tom Ford P...

Hey dolls, so a few weeks ago I received a beauty goodies from Baobella and finally I got the chance to write a review about it.  The goodies I received was from Stargazer Eye Palette and the false eyelashes as well as Gosh Mascara.  Once I opened the packet I was so excited with the colourful eyeshadow palette as well as their false eyelashes - maybe more for fancy dresses or special occasion but still very excited.  Remind me of Spring and Summer ^^  Colour Swatches from the top section Colour Swatches from Lower section I love the eyeshadow palette especially I hardly have anything colourful in my eyeshadow collection as I am more a neutral/smokey type of individual.  The formulas are very highly pigmented, therefore you will only need a very small amount and spread it lightly - when I said 'lightly' it means 'lightly'  Gosh Catchy Eyes Mascara The tube said that it gives a curl, length and definition and I do have an obsession wit...

I have read the rave and reviews about this mask from their websites, magazines and even from a makeup artist and youtube beauty guru 'hudabeauty'.  They stock in hqhair.com and I bought mine from spacenk in Covent Garden.  This mask has been used in Hollywood's entertainment, music, fashion and award industries.  In 10 minutes you will get an immediate camera-ready glowing skin - who can ever resist that ^^ Ingredients included:  Volcanic Rock French Sea Clay Green Tea Leaf Pieces  It is suitable for vegan, all skin types, cruelty free, paraben free and works as exfoliator at the same time.  I never have a major skin problem but every little helps when you need a bit of TLC, and because my skin is slightly sensitive I bought a smaller size for a trial.  I applied the mask all over my face making sure all areas are covered.  It left a tingling sensation and smell divine.  After 10 minutes or until the whole mask is dry, ...

My first brushes I purchased was Bobbi Brown and have been using them for over 10 years until I came across Crownbrush whilst doing my make-up courses.  I chose their  614 'All Eyes on You' set and two brushes from their new Infinity range:  C455 Flat Blender and C457 Round Blender - which is Vegan Synthetic Bristles with a patent handles that works well with liquid, cream and powder formulas. C455 Flat Blender: The website mentioned that this brush is suitable for a concealer and blemishes application and I have been using blending brush for my concealer application until this brush.  This is my holy grail for any parts that is hard to be reached using my foundation brush.  Instead of using stippling movement, I found that using a light circular motion works much better to blend the products.  C457 Round Blender: Suitable for Eyeshadow base and/or primer what mentioned in the website.  I tried to use as eyeshadow base but I ...

Hey dolls, hope you all have a lovely week so far and TGIF ^^ - maybe for some as I'm going back to work tomorrow boohooo.  My post today will be about my favourite mascara, as most of you who read my profile surely know how much I'm obsessed with mascaras especially the one that can make my lashes go 'WOW'.  Being born Oriental, long lashes would probably be one of the feature we are lacking so ever since I've been trying all products that can give my lashes a bit of Oomphh.  And not to forget, the lovely smudges under the eye from some mascaras.  Anyways enough of my blabbering, I've downsized my favourite to three products that I am currently been wearing them everyday on definitely special occasion ^^ Below is my lashes, how short, fine and tiny are they sobsss :( First: Dejavu Imju Fiberwig Extra Long This is my all time favourite mascara where it lengthens, nourishes your eyelashes and the best of all there is no smudge or whatsoever so the...

Happy Easter dolls ^^, hope you all have a great long weekend.  My post today is about my current obsession as you all know I love having a flawless. matte and long lasting make-up, and I came across this products whilst on preciousaboutmakeup.com searching for new products. So Ben Nye was a make up artist who was known for his work throughout the make up industry speacialising in film and theatre so definitely I must get my hands on when I bumped into the product.  Source:  http://www.preciousaboutmakeup.com/makeup/ben-nye-liquiset-mixing-setting-liquid-4oz The website said that: Spray all over completed make up to prevent smudges and have a water resistant finish.   It keeps the make up stay on the place without leaving any marks after a long day.  Here is the pictures below: After Final Seal 5 hours later and haven't re-powder ^^ My take on this product is that I'm loving it and been using them ever since I bought them especially with t...
