Makeup Wishlist

2013 will be ending soon and will make way for 2014. I recently just got the courage to get serious in makeup service and starting to receive bookings for various event such as dinner, photoshoot, engagement and wedding. So I hope 2014 will bring more experience for me in this field as I want to learn more and practice more so the skills can be improved.

As I am a newbie in this MUA thingy.. my kit is not that great. Yeah I got quite a large number of makeups to be used for myself.. but it is not enough for to be used on various types of people. The clients/customers will not have the same skin condition as I have, and the skin colour is not going to be the same as I am, nor the sensitivity towards the products will also be different. So, I need more makeup! hahaha.

This is my wishlist and I really hope I can save up some money for these.

1. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

The Finished Look 

What I'm using...

Step 1: With small tapered brush, I use Chocolate Soleil bronzer on my crease. 

Step 2: With shader brush, I used Honey Honey and applied all over my lid. 

Step 3: With the same brush, I applied Coquet on inner corner of my eyes.

Step 4: With a pencil brush, applied Dark Chocolate as a liner on top and bottom lash line. 

Step 5: Maybelline Masterliner in Brown for enhancing the lash line.

Step 6: Jordana Easyliner in Black for tight line.

Step 7: Sephora 24H eyeliner in Blonde Ambition for water line.

Step 8: Lots of mascara, Rocket by Maybelline can help you.

Step 9: Bronzing my face (More like defining my cheekbone and shading my nose) using Chocolate Soleil.

Step 10: My favourite blush!! Lightly apply Melt into Spring to the apple of the cheek :D

Step 11: This time, I mixed these two babies together and I kinda love the colour. (Wet n Wild Smokin' Hot Pink and MAC Freckletone)

Ehemmm.. Failed attempt trying to make cute face :S I look so garang.

Well hello baby cheeks haha. I lost you in February then now I met you again! voila! (I put on some weight  >.<) 

Ya ya.. Trying real hard to make serious pose. hahaha. Pardon me my friends. 

Okay till next time!

I will try to make more makeup look using this palette. Stay tune! 

Too Faced 'A Few of my Favourite Things' Palette Review

Hai! How are you? :)

Okay. I've been eyeing for this palette for a very long time. It came out in US I think in November or October something around that time, and it's been raved among beauty gurus all the time! I just could not wait for this palette. It arrived Sephora Malaysia in December? I guess but at that time i was broke. hahaha. Original retail price was RM169, but my friend, Wiida told me that this palette's price has been marked down to RM134! OMG that's a lot. And after lots of thinking and considering that I will get 20 eyeshadows, 2 blushers, 2 bronzers, 1 lip stain balm and 1 mascara + cute chevron patterned makeup bag, why not? It's really worth every penny and it's a really great deal. So finally I got it.. and I have no regret :D (BIG GRINN)

(This is just a review on the palette, lip product, mascara and makeup bag were not included in this review)

A few of my favourite things - Too Faced palette.

First Impression:
1. The pink and gold chevron pattern is soooo cute and girly. I really love that the design is ffun-looking and unique from other palette available in stores.
2. The material for the palette is cardboard-type with magnetic at the end so it is can be closed and secured.
3. The size of the products I get in this palette is more than enough. I got 20 x 1.6g eye shadows (MAC single eye shadow contained 2.2g and will cost RM68-85) so it's totally a great steal. I also got 2 x 4g blushers and 2 x 4g bronzers.
4. The only thing I could wish to come in this palette is a mirror. But it's okay just the way it is :D

Eye Shadows:

1. Snowflakes - Shimmery yellow tone cream. perfect for highlighting tear duct. 

2. Whiskers on Kittens - Pastel peach with gold glitter. 

3. Chocolate Milk - Just imagine chocolate milk. seriously. It's perfect for transitioning/blending colour and the texture is so lovely soft and buttery :D

4. Moon on Their Wings - Glitter glittery champagne colour. 

5. Dark Chocolate - Dark matte brown. Really pigmented but I find it quite hard for blending. Perfect for eyebrow and liner. 

6. Cream Colored Ponies - Matte cream / off-white colour. I am amazed with how pigmented this shadow are! usually we don't get a very pigmented white shadow. But this one, it's just perfect, soft, creamy, buttery and easy to blend. 

7. Honey Honey - Gold.

8. Buche de Noel - I would say the colour is quite similar to Dark Horse in Naked palette (Urban Decay).

9. Evergreen - oh I love this shade! But this is totally not everyday colour for me, but I just love the shade and the texture and pigmentation is really good. 

10. Blue Satin Sashes - Matte deep sea green with gold glitter. 

11. Coquet - This is quite a strange shadow in this palette as it looks like pink shadow with lots of gold and beige glitter in it. but when I swatch it, there is nothing pink appear. But anyhow, I still love it. haha. 

12. Taffy - Pastel Pink. I would say it is satin finish (tiny amount of fine glitters).

13. Crisp Apple Strudle - My other favourite shade! hehe. Shimmery taupe shade.

14. Woolen Mittens - Like Chocolate Milk, but the tone is cooler. 

15. Soiree - I love this kinda burgundy maroon shade but the texture is kinda hard to blend. 

16. Tinsel - Shimmey olive hues with lots of gold shimmer. Peningnya. haha.

17. Bluff - My other fav! haha. Pastel Indigo and shimmery. 

18. Ooh La Orchid - Violet. This one did disappoint me because it is chalky and not pigmented. 

19. Party Time - Another shade that disappoint me. The colour looks soo intense and pretty on the pan, When I first saw it I literally felt like dipping my eye lid to the shadow (???) but it just look pretty on the pan, not when I swatched it. 

20. Pure Glam - Shimmey black.

Blusher and Bronzer:

1. Raindrops on Roses - Doll pink with some shimmers

2. Melt into Spring - Warm peachy pink (MY FAV!!)

3. Chocolate Soleil - Medium tone bronzer with chocolate scent! (Sorry for bad swatch in the picture)

4. Sun Bunny - Shimmery bronzer. 

Okay that's all. 

Thank you :D

Butterfly Project Chapter 4: Mr Lens shopping experience

Hai! sorry for a very long hiatus. I was busy with my FYP and other school's assignments and I just submitted my final draft, so it should be okay now to blog hehe.

I have been given an opportunity by Butterfly Project to write a review on a shopping experience at Mr Lens Malaysia. Thanks Butterfly project and Mr Lens! :)

Mr Lens is an online shop to buy contact lenses and glasses for your precious eyes. Remember whenever you need to restock your lenses but you are so busy to go to the optic shop just to buy a pair or few pairs of lenses? Well, technology made it easier, girls :D We can now shop the lenses on-line! yeayyyyy!! And plusss.. The price offered in Mr Lens is the same and lower compared to walk in to optic shop for lenses shopping. 

Shopping at Mr Lens is soo easy and the website is so user friendly. I did not experienced any trouble throughout ordering the lenses and I received within 2 working days! I am soo not going out to buy lenses after this hehehe. This website just save my time and cost. Weeeee!!! >_< (so happy to discover an awesome online shop) 

Just follow this simple and easy 5 steps and you will enjoy your new lenses in as short as one day! *depends on the stock available and location of your shipping address* 

STEP 1 : Go to www.mrlens.com.my

STEP 2: Sign up

STEP 3: Start shopping!!!!! Who doesn't love to shop right? hehehe. You can find almost all brands that were sold in optic shop, here! I personally as contact lens wearer, I would have a hardtime to hunt for lenses sales and good deals (especially during festive season) but I never need to do that again because Mr Lens offer such an amazing price for the same products sold at the optic shop! You can see it yourself once you click awesome price! I wear contact lenses all the time and I always stock up my favourite Freshkon Colourblends. The normal price for a pair of lens is about RM60-80 if we buy it at optic shop and we can get deals like buy 2 free 1 during sales sometimes. But Mr Lens offered RM39 for each pair! aaaaaaaaaa!!!! can die la like this hahahhaa. 

STEP 4: Add to cart and choose preferences. The power degree choices is from -0,00 to -10,00 so you don't need to be afraid. With my high eye power degree, I normally need to wait an extra 3 to 4 working days for the stocks to arrive whenever I walk in shopping in optic shop. Mr Lens's policy is about the same, you need to wait extra few days for ordering the stocks, but I personally don't care about it at all because I don't need to go out and drive just to go to the shop twice if I walk in shopping at optic shop. I just need to wait at my house, just wait for the package to arrive. But, throughout my first experience with Mr Lens, I just need to wait for 2 working days after ordering so that is fast!! (My power degree is higher than -5,00 and the policy said for power more than -5,00, customer may need to wait up to 3 days because they need to order the lenses) 

STEP 5: Checkout. Pay and wait for your package to arrive! hihi.

Payment methods; 

They will also update you about the status of your order through email

The package will arrive 1-3 working days and you can track it. 

So what did I got for myself? I bought Colourvue 3 Tones in Green >_< I have tried it once few months back in colour violet so this time I chose Green hihi. 

Wanna see how it looks like on my eyes? :D

* ayo malu dengan dark circle hahaha sorry for the nearly bare face :3 * 

The outer ring is dark green nearly black so after the lens blended with my natural eye color (black), the only obvious colour could be seen is the middle ring which is hazel-green. My eyes is quite big and rounded so I do not prefer the "big eye effect" contact lens which has larger diameter. Overall, this contact lens is comfortable for everyday use and it can last up tp 3 months :D  

Brand: Colourvue

Type: 3 Tones

Based curve: 8.6 mm

Diameter: 14 mm

Colours: Grey, Blue, Green, Brown, Violet

Price: Normal Price is RM123 but Mr Lens sell it for only RM90 *wink wink*

Waitttt.... There's more from Mr Lens! 

The shipping is flat rate RM6 for west Malaysia & RM9 for east Malaysia and using Pos Laju courier service. 

Wait...

Do you live in Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, Puchong, Sungai Buloh, Subang Airport, Subang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, Ampang or Batu Caves?

Mr Lens offers FREE SHIPPING for shipping address to these areas!! 

There are also service for refill express, which with 1 click, they will send out your lenses according to your records of  previous purchases. Wah memang kasi senang kerja lah. 

Theres nothing more to say here except.. 

Go to MR LENS like, right now!!!! haha totally worth it buying your lenses here >_<

Okay, that's it this time :D 

Cheers!
