Top 10 products of 2013

Hi! I don't know how I managed to narrow down my top 10 picks for 2013 but here it is..

10. Maybelline Rocket Mascara

It's super black, affordable, clump free and easy to remove :D

9. Real Technique Expert Face Brush

Favourite brush to apply liquid foundation. Seriously, u guys need to get thisss!

8. Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB Sunblock SPF50 in Nude

Not a fan of heavy sunblock, so my friends suggested this. Totally designed for me! haha. The watery texture is so soft and light to the skin and I would  buy in the clear version so I can wear this on my hands too. 

7. Maybelline Crayon Brow pencil in Brown

I have tried sooo many different brow pencil, but I keep going back to this one. 

6. Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black

Had this for quite a long time, and believe me it doesn't dried out yet! Affordable and super black. Love it!

5. Urban Decay Naked Palette 

Wanted this for soo long, I finally get it on my birthday last year. Totally worth every penny! My favourite shadows are virgin, sidecar, buck, smog and darkhorse.

4. NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

Couldn't decide which one is my fav because I love them all equally! I only got three shades from the range, From left: Antwerp, Stockholm and San Paolo. Wear it sheer or opaque, it is totally versatile. (And smells nice too!)

3. Urban Decay Naked Skin 

When many chose Revlon Colorstay as their top foundie for 2013, I chose this one simply because.. It feels light on my skin and the finish look is natural and doesn't look (and feel) too heavy. But the lasting power is not so great compared to colorstay. It does wear off on my face especially on my nose area (tend to get really oily there) after several hours. 

2. Bioderma Makeup Remover solution (I hope this is right as I couldn't understand the french on the lable >.<)

Remove makeups like magic. haha. Thank you wiida for this baby. Totally in love and will get serious problem to restock it because we can't get it easily here in Malaysia :( 

1. MUA Pro-Brow Ultimate Eyebrow Kit 

Got this baby end of 2012, and I wore this every single day. yes, every single day. And I still got some left. Creamy and so pigmented and affordable too! Definitely will buy again. 

Products that almost be listed are:

1. Revlon Colorstay Foundation

2. Benefit Porefessional 

3. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in soft & gentle

4. MAC extra dimension eye shadow in Zestful

5. Maybelline Hypersharp Liner

6. Maybelline Color Tattoo

7. Wet n Wild Megalast Color in 905D Smokin Hot Pink

8. MAC pro longwear lipcreme in Endless Drama

9. Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss

10. Maybelline Pure Concealer Mineral Healthy Natural Concealer

Some of my favourite Brushes throughout 2013

1. Sigma E35 Tapered Blending for eyeshadow blending

2. Coastal Scent BR-C-S18 Medium Synthetic Angle Liner for eyebrow

3. Sigma F40 Large Angle Contour for blush

4. Real Technique Multi Task Brush for powder

That's all. 

Thanks for reading. 

May 2014 brings joy and happiness to you pretty girls :D

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

Hi!

I wanted to share with you some of the looks that can be created from Too Faced 'A Few of my Favourite Things' Palette (Review).  And today will be look #1 :D (more to come, Insyaa Allah)

Simple Go-To Makeup Look

Ben Nye Luxury Powder Banana

Viva eyebrow pencil Brown

MUA Pro Brow Palette

MAC Painterly Paint Pot

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
