HOT PINK LIPS by Etude House

Labels: etude house | at 9:02 AM

New Year has come and I also am having this momentary obsession with HOT PINK LIPS!

New year, new pucker.. haha

I've been doing the whole pale lips thing for awhile now so I think its a fresh change. XD

And this is Megumi... my inspiration... Straight out of an S Cawaii back issue... Hahaha

And this is the waaaaaaaaaaaaaay dorkier version...

I love Etude House.

The texture and the color of this duo is amazing. Makes me feel like my lips are draped in strawberry syrup.

super cheap too... without the cheap feeling... Gotta love that!!

So for now.. my uniform face will be super bold liner and hot pink lips... muhehehehe... til i get bored and switch to another look...

Cha's wedding in a week!!! Shopped and shopped for her face essentials...

One drawback about Etude House though... It's only for light skinned women. They only have 2 shades.. Light... and Lighter... HAHA

I swear... I'd think if they'd go take on Southeast Asian market they'd provide a broader spectrum of colours... but no... they didn't..

I don't even think I'm light enough for Etude.

So for Cha... We didn't buy her base makeup from Etude.. Just point makeup stuff... Base makeup for her.. I'll just use my trusty Paul & Joe Creamy Foundation.

Oh well... No beauty store is perfect...

Okay.. so this is my makeup today... December 26..

how relevant is this day?

Today I shall count boxes..

Stock take time!!!!

Seriously.. wrong choice of makeup and clothing..

FAIL...

Anyhoo... here it is...

So the stuff i used aside from the human nature skin care i use daily...

Skin79 VIP BB cream
Ellana MMU Radiant Concealer
Ellana MMU Foundation Hazelnut Latte
Ellana MMU Happiness Blush
Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette
Bloom Ebony Brown Liquid Liner
Missha the Style Mascara Base
Fairy Drops Mascara
Lunasol Brow Styling Mascara
Paul & Joe Lipstick 06

no makeup face...

clean slate...

attack of the bb cream..

after the bb cream has been blended..

ellana radiant concealer is the best concealer in the world!!! best applied with the essence of beauty 2-in-1 concealer/foundation brush.. ^^

ellana foundation time.. hazelnut latte... ^^

i find it better applied with a bigger fluffier kabuki brush as it seems more even that with a denser brush..

if i remember correctly.. i used the middle shade on the top row.. it's like a lime gold green..

here it is... it's not as shimmery as the others.. came out quite a velvety muted gold-green..

and then i put a slimy green colour all over the lower lash line..and lined the top lashline with liquid liner...

with Ellana Happiness Blush and Paul & Joe lipstick in 06

yup... that's about it..

I'm so tired from the stock take... my golly gosh.. I HAVEN'T PACKED AND I'M LEAVING TOMORROW!!!!!! >,<

continuation... PAUL & JOE LIPSTICKS

Labels: paul and joe, swatch | at 5:46 AM

Meery Christmas!

So this is for you Lizz... my Paul & Joe lipstick swatches... ^^

L-R: 064 (limited edition), 06, 29, 20

Aren't they pretty???

064 - creamy old rose

06 - shiny orange beige

29 -sparkly candy pink

20 - creamy pinky brown

i know you know that packaging sometimes means more to me than the product itself... so i just wanna show you a little extra why i even got this lipstick on the first place even if it's more expensive than the non-limited edition lipsticks they carry...

they have the signature floral motif stamped on the lipstick itself... isn't it super pretty?

anyhoo... merry christmas again!

I hope i can post a tutorial soon...

Paul & Joe Christmas Discount

Labels: paul and joe | at 10:37 AM

Wooooot!

So i receive a text message from Paul & Joe in Rustan's that they're offering 20% off from Dec11-Dec24 for all their items for all of us with extra freebies too...

And so I went...

I got 2 lipsticks..

I totally swear by Paul & Joe lipsticks now... I'm not usually a lipstick person... I'm usually a lip gloss person... but Paul & Joe changed that in me!

So these are the 2 lipsticks (and my new jar of ellana in the shade i want and need... :P)

anyhoo... i actually bought 3 lipticks from Paul & Joe that day but one was for my sister in the shade i already have which is 20... the pinky brown shade i just recently bought.. she loved it so much she had to have one..

anyway... i haven't swatched these although I've worn them several times already..

one thing about Paul & Joe lipsticks.. they're so flattering... nothing garrish, nothing over the top... just really flattering, feminine colours that i love in super moisturizing formulations to boot!

the sales person gave me a mini version of their 2 way foundation and a cleansing milk as their freebie for me.. but i just gave them to Uri since i'm perfectly happy with my Ellana foundations and my Human Nature Sunflower Seed Beauty Oil... XD

Once into nail art... always into nail art...

This is an update after my fairly long Christmas rush hiatus...

This is my cousin Maita's hand.. she initially had the nude polish on... and I just added stuff to it...

sha-zam!

I think this is my favorite nail art design i ever put on anyone.. this is on my cousin Din's hand...

so i started off with a purple gradiation and hand painted the flowers... and then added the rhinestones... pretty neat eh?

So these are my current holiday nails..

So i wasn't able to put anything on my nails for a good month or so because work was just too hectic.

however i really wanted nice nails for the holidays and for my upcoming trip... (weird eh?)

i cheated with this one though... the stars and the moons are stickers... >,< i still think it came out pretty well especially with the glittery dark blue combination on the tips.. i wanted snowflakes but i'm jusst not good at hand painting them.. so i settled with this instead.. ^^;;

i just had to add the extra rhinestones for extra oomph..

hope it lasts through my 5 day trip!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!!

Face for the rest of the busy Christmas season... -__________-;;

[HowTo] Let's Go to the Korean Embassy!

Labels: how to | at 9:25 AM

I wasn't able to get a step by step of the actual day I went to the embassy.. so i had to do a repeat... :P

I was thinking so carefully on how I'd do my makeup in a way that looks pretty respectable and presentable... so i guess this is it.. haha
