Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

Image
Has anyone seen Revlon Advert with Emma Stone for their new ColorBurst Matte Balm?  I came across the advert and saw the beautiful orange lip colour she was wearing.  Off I was straight to Boots and picked 'Audacious' and 'Striking' from Revlon aisle.  Left:  Audacious Right:  Striking I had few selection of 'Orange' lip colour from other brands, but for some reason once I applied on my lips they actually turned into 'Pink' instead of 'Orange' :'(.  However, Revlon 'Audacious' isn't like that at all, it is pure 'Orange' and the application was easy to glide on without having to re-apply them.  It has a Velvety Matte Finish with a tingling sensation, contains Shea - Mango - Coconut Butter that leaves your lips moisturised throughout the day.  Audacious Striking I personally prefer Audacious more to Striking, but maybe that's partly because I hardly worn Orange lipstick and it is sometimes nice to have ...

A/W Favourites

Image
A round up of my Autumn/Winter Favourites, fully loaded pictures and this times are focusing more on the accessories. I also would love to say a massive thank you for my talented photographer Haroun and his sister Salma who were willing to sacrifice their free time and spent half a day with me.  We were also being blessed by a gorgeous day full of sunshine and warm weather (mind you these picture were taken before Spring starts). Favourite Boots: Duo Boots 'Turner' has been my winter staples to keep me warm and cosy.  These babies are not only perfectly fit but also very comfortable to be on your feet the whole day. Another pair from Duo Boots - 'Hutton'.  This ones are more like a riding boots and more for everyday wear or when I was on the run I prefer to wear this pair to the Turner. Favourite Jumper: Bunny Jumper from Primark - I've had this for a year and I just love them to bits and been wearing them throughout the winter to keep me warm  ...

Losing and Finding Myself in Nature

Image
From time to time, I love to go to a place where I can be alone and drown myself into my own little world where it consists only me, myself and the Universe; and that's exactly what I did today.  My company was my ipod mini, a book and my camera - I also switched off my phone ^^ Few pictures I took whilst I was in the park *^ Spring season a.k.a sunny and warm but not so much for today.  There was a slight wintery breeze blowing but the sky was very clear that it was perfect to just sit on the bench and snooze (oops I did that whilst watching the different shapes of the clouds lmao).  Can you see Cookie Monster in this cloud?!?  The eyes, the nose and the mouth lol - I have an extremely high imagination that my friends called me 'Weirdo' at some point in my life ;P As a human being, sometimes we take life for granted and living in a big City can make one becoming a more self-centered and forgetting oneself as an ...

I know it is a bit too late considered Valentine's Day was a week ago, but it's better late than never.  I had to work on Valentine's Day - boohooo :'( but that didn't mean that I wasn't allow to doll up.  Since it was a day for every couple to be lovey dovey - ehem ehem ;), you could also spend the day with your family (I personally would love to be able to spend it with mine as we had always been spending all special occasions together since I was a kid).  So back to the topic, I decided to go for more of pink colour for this look and in order for not ended up looking like a barbie doll, I went for rose gold for my eyeshadow choice and a bubblegum pink - yummmm!!! Products I used:  From top left clockwise:  Illamasqua Skin Based Foundation in SB01 (highlighter) and SB 8.5 as my base Benefit Highbeam to add more highlights on my cheekbones  Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana  MAC eyeshadow palette - I only used Carbon for outer corner Benefit H...

L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara - My Current Mascara Obsession

Image
One thing that I can't leave the house without would be mascara.  The problem is that whenever I bought a new pair, it's a massive disappointment because I ended up with a pair of 'Panda' eyes by the end of the night though it's a waterproof formula.  The only mascara that works for me is the Japanese brand: Dejavu Imju Fiberwig - amazing mascara that I don't need to use any make up remover to remove the mascara; warm water and that's all.  However, this can only be purchased either through eBay or when I was travelling back home >< So, when I saw L'oreal's advert of their current mascara and read the reviews about it.  I was pretty sceptical at first, because I have tried few of their mascaras and I still had smudges.  But, I decided to give it a go and it came as a surprise to me.  After 10 hours of wearing them, I didn't get any smudges.   Love how the brush tip is quite narrow that works well for inner corner and lower lashes. ...
