Do you use a LipLiner??

I bought three new MAC Lip pencils few days back. Im a sucker for lip pencils. I feel lipstick application is incomplete without a Lipliner!
Most people dont use a lipliner.

Well for those who dont use a lip pencil, Id suggest start using one! You’ll see a difference! :)

HOW DO I USE A LIP LINER?
I line the perimeter of my lips, and then FILL in my lips wit the lip pencil as well. This is because the lip pencil acts as a BASE for the lipstick you will apply later.
If you’re anything like me, your lipstick would be half eaten by noon! So with a lip pencil, even when your lipstick fades away, you still have that bit of colour on your lips left by the lip pencil.
*You can easily watch any of my videos and you’ll see me lining my lips and then filling in my lips with the lip liners.

WHAT COLOURS SHOULD I USE?
Your safest bet would be:
- Natural tones,
- tones similar to YOUR Lip colour
- tones similar to the lipstick you are about to apply over your Lipliner

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LIP LINERS?
- STAGE Cosmetics Lipliner (Chocolate charm is my FAV! Natural brownish shade. Their lipliners are moisturizing!)
- MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencils (They are SOOOOO soft, a lil too brittle for some, but very easily glides onto the lips)
- Sephora Nano Lipliner (These Mini little lipliners are so CUTE They are very creamy and dont feel drying on the lips)

It may seem a little troublesome to some to have to line your lips when you can just slap on some gloss instead but like I said, if you talk alot, lick your lips alot etc.. you would notice your lipstick fading away fast. So trust me, a lipliner will be your new best friend.

TheBodyShop MAGIC eyeshadows!

I was wandering around The BodyShop and this shimmer cube colours totally caught my eye! I normally see the duller tones(maroon/silver etc) but these colours were bright! LOVE IT!

The green & Blue are my fav of course!!

These are EyeShimmers! My bestie introduced them to me couple of months back. I was so amused when she showed me these “MAGIC” eyeshadows!

So they look like this… WHITE shadows with pretty blue-ish green and gold undertones

When swatched… at different angles, you can see the lovely iridescence!

But do you know what hapens when you LAYER them OVER BLACK eyeshadow??

They turn into the most gorgeous shade of GOLD and blue-ish green colours!!!

I know its not MAGIC but hey, its pretty cool!! :)

SMH Eyeshadows

If SMH had a store in singapore, I would have gotten their entire collection by now! I think so far I already own over 25 SMH Eyeshadows! I simply L-O-V-E them all! I really do!
They are SUPER PIGMENTED!

They have a big variety of colours so if you’re not a fan of BOLD colours, you can still go for their neutrals, browns etc…

So anyways this is my latest batch ordered…

BobbiBrown Blusher & Shimmerbrick Haul

So I had $110 worth of Taka vouchers waiting to be spent , and yesterday I planned to use it to buy TWO shimmer bricks from BobbiBrown
I have been eyeing one for a while now.

SO I went down to get the NECTAR shimmerbrick and another colour….

BUT I saw their blushers and got tempted! FIRST thing I asked the SA, “Do you sell empty palettes?”
Her answer caused me to spend A LOT more than I expected!
They have either a 3 well, 4 well, or 6 well palette. And for their current promo, get any two eyeshadow or blusher and get the palette FREE!

I was so happy!!!!

I chose 4 lovely blusher shades (Coral for tanned skintone, Brown for contouring sinceits matte and VERY close to MAC Raiziin which is my fav, Plum for darker skintones, and Pink for fairer skintones…see when you’re a MUA, you dont tend to buy Makeup for yourself…)

but the NECTAR shimmerbrick is so damn pretty I cant help but want it all for myself!! :D

(SGD66 each)

I LOOOOVE the glow and slight wash of peachyness!!!

My blushers (SGD39 each)


REVIEW: THANN Rice Extract Body Milk

Untitled-1 copy

I was pleasantly surprised when the lovely Shirley from Thann, sent me two bottles of SeaFoam Rice Extract BodyMilk. If you click *here*, you’d read my previous entry on when I attended the private opening of Thann’s first ever concept store in Singapore.

At that point I wasnt very much interested cuz skincare wasnt a fancy to me. I mean sure, I take care of my skin but I dont fuss over skincare etc. But I remember falling in love with all the amazing soothing scents from the products at Thann. and best still, they were reasonably priced!
I had purchased their Aromatherapy Shower Gel (SGD20.00!)when I was there and within a week, the shower gel was almost gone! Cuz my younger brother was sneakily using it. When I questioned him, he told me the smell was too inviting! And it was true! The shower gel had such a enticing peppermint smell! Ohh thinking about it now makes me wanna go down to Thann and get two bottles!!

So this Rice Extract Body Milk that Shirley sent me, is basically made from the highest quality of Rice Bran Oil.

I got to admit, just the words “BodyMilk” felt very luxurious. But finding out that rice bran oil actually helps act as a SUNSCREEN, helps to PREVENT WATERLOSS and acts as an ANTI OXIDANT was very impressive!

When I first smelt it, it wasnt that great.. I thought to myself that it wasjust another average smelling lotion.. BUT, after applied it on my arms, I was closing the cap of the bottle when the smell suddenly hit me! And I could sniff out the enticing peppermint and Eucalyptus scent that got me going crazy over the previous Showe Gel I had bought! Im such a sucker for Peppermint and Eucalyptus! Its just an amazing soothing scent.

DSC03434 copy
Reading the back of the bottles, confirmed those scents, as well as the presence of Thyme, Rosemary etc…
If you’re a fan of aromatheraphy then I assure you, these products from Thann will hit the right chords for you! :)

Thann is available at many countires worldwide
Asia (Brunei, China, Indenosia, Japan, Malaysia, India etc…)
Europe( France, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Poland etc…)

Cheap eyeshadows also have good colour payoff!

Ive never been one to diss cheap products. Infact one of my most liked tutorials was a peacock one, done with colours frm a cheap UK palette sent by a friend!

I was walking around Illuma Bugis last week, and came across one of those beauty shops. Im sure you’ve seen so many around! They sell perfumes, cheaper makeup (VOV, COLEUR INC etc) and I was just itching to spend some money so I grabbed some eyeshadows.
They’re so pigmented that I think Im gng to go back for more!

This is the shop name, its connected to the new LINKBRIDGE (from Illuma to Bugis Junction

First was from L’Ocean

And another two from L’ocean but these were slightly more expensive (previous ones on top were abt $7, these were $9) and they were mooooore shimmery, and different label too


And from DODO

Whilst playing with my new L’Ocean eyeshadows, I realized they reminded me of Elianto!
I bought ELIANTO from KL like 2 years back and bought an empty palette and filled up all 40 eyeshadows. Spent abt RM200 only! BUTTTTTT… I stopped using them. WHY? No particular reason.. Just like ALL my other palettes.. they get forgotten after a while! LOL

So I took them out and found them pretty similar…


QUITE similar!

If Im not mistaken, ELIANTO is available at Tampines but Im nt too sure of the price. It was abt RM4 when I bought them 2 yrs back! (thats abt SGD1.80 each!)

Elianto has very strong colur payoff but they broke easily (few of them if u see above), maybe thats why I stopped using em!
Anyways I told myself i shall depot these new shadows to make sure I use them!! :)
