I believe in Magic

I had a make up shopping spree today! <3 :D
My perfect remedy for all my problems..
U know, ppl say make up makes u fake.. Some people use it to change the way they look but...

I believe make up can be beneficial to your skin and it helps highlight beautiful areas and some make up has minerals and moisture that ur skin needs.
It really depends how you use your make up. It shouldn't be used as to manipulate other people and change your looks..

Things I bought today! :)

Lets start of with Pavilion...
This apparently helps give your lips a very natural pink shade. This is a two way lippie. The red side is collagen that helps refine the lines on your lips whereas the white side helps remove dark areas on your lips and return your original lip colour.
Price: RM118
Location: Parkson @ Pavilion
Brand: ShiZens
This hand cream is very unique as it is water base. When you squeeze the cream out of the tube, its matte and it looks dry but when u rub it a little, u can see droplets of water forming on ur hand. This formula helps the moisture to seep into ur skin with much ease. I bought two tubes cause it's THAT good! :D
Price: RM48
Location: Parkson @ Pavilion
Brand: ShiZens

When I went to Sephora, damage done:

O.P.I. Nail Lacquer
Colour code: Meet Me on the Star Ferry
Price: RM59
Location: Sephora (directly opposite Pavilion's main entrance)

Korean Brand Face Line Shading Highlighter
It has duo effect. One functions as a shader to enhance your contours and the other is to highlight your cheekbones, chin, T-zone etc.. Really love the matte feeling of this..
I would go back to get this again when I finish! It's affordable and the quality is assured. It has very smooth and easy application.

Price: RM37.90
Location: Sephora

Dior Skin Extreme Fit
The best skin foundation! Thick coverage and a perfect finish..
My mom and I have been using this for years and we both have sensitive skin! Those of you out there, this foundation is worth every penny. I usually put this on and not put on any other make up products to have a porcelain skin look. Sometimes with a tinge of blusher..
Brand: Christian Dior
Price: RM140
Location: Sephora

After all the purchases, I got this mini 10 day trial powder for free. :) I guess it's pretty alright. Love the cute brush! :D This gives light-medium coverage and it feels so light on my skin! Its like not having any make up on! The next round at Sephora, I might just get it! <3


Now at COCiCOCi!
Damage done: Minimal


This is a 3 in 1 concealer. The pink is used for dark circles, green used for red blotchy patches and the nude color is used for pimple scars or any other pigmentations.
Brand: essence, forget it!
Price: RM11.90
Location: COCiCOCi (Bintang Walk further down from Fahrenheit 88)
U can also get it at MV now that they just opened up a new branch there.. There are more brands available at MV.

This is a new range by essence. It has very nice shades that blend very well together! <3
Brand: essence, Metallics Quatro Eyeshadow in number 3
Price: RM17.90
Location: COCiCOCi


This is one of my favorite eyeshadow pallete.. U can use this to create smokey eyes for both day and night! Perfect pallete for a whole day. Now every lady can keep this small pallete in their handbag and be prepared for any surprise events or dates! <3 :D So cheap and useful!
Brand: essence, quattro eyeshadow
Price: RM14.90
Location: COCiCOCi

Now this two eye liners are a steal! One is a white eyeliner that I use to make my eyes look much brighter and awake and the black one to make my eyes look bigger! It glides very easily on my eye lids.. The tip is soft as it is a crayon. Surprisingly whenever I use crayon eye liners it will smudge and break easily whereas this doesn't.. The white eye liner is a pearly metallic white. When you put it on, it looks like a li'l bit silvery. U wouldn't believe your eyes when you see the price!

Brand: essence, Metallic
Price: RM6.90 for one
Location: COCiCOCi

Purring the Angelic Look

Now as we all know, there are some days where we feel a li'l naughty. *wink*
Well here's a trick.. Wanna look naughty and angelic both at the same time? ;)
Let me teach you how girls..! ♥

Okay so here's how u get the look.
Must haves:
1. A white dress
2. Braids at ur fringe
3. EYELINER *essential*
4. Wedges

So Simple! :D


So this is a picture of how I did my eye. I used a liquid eyeliner to do two sleek swipes at the end to create a dynamic cat eye effect. Nice? :D Now u get the theme? :)
I did not use much make up except for liquid foundation, powder and a soft pink blusher. For this look, I kept it simple as to keep to the theme, Purring the Angelic Look.
Here are some pictures of the dinner I attended to. It was held at Umaiya (a Japanese restaurant). A li'l pricey I must say.
Braided fringe creates a softer angelic look! Try it out.. Here's a link to teach u how to do that.
Quick and simple! Here's where I learnt how to do mine. :)

I completed my look with a brown waist-clencher belt and a beige Chanel bag.
I wore white wedges for the night! ;) I am an angel in disguise..


When u want to look angelic, just smile innocently and look cute! :DD My friend on my right is the best teacher. She's adorable. (Zi Ling)

All the sweet Angelic girls who are wild on the inside. ;)

So here's the purring for the night.. ;)






The one that is the most essential part of getting this look is the cat eye effect.
Rmbr if u are planning to create this look for a dinner or an event, practice doing the cat eye effect a day before! It took me a while to get the eyes right. :) Good luck girls!

Au de natural with a tinge of make up?

Hi there! I am here to give u all tips on how to achieve a flawless natural look using make up. :)
U know how some models have very prominent jawline in pictures? I know just how to make that illusion! ;D Read on loves..
                                                                                                        So lets start off with the basic foundation. The best I have used so far is Christian Dior, Extreme Fit. So my first choice of recommendation would be this. U can either use a sponge or a foundation brush.
 Before putting foundation on ur face, firstly squeeze the amount u want on ur hand so that it is at body temperature. This helps better blending.


P.S.- Do make sure that u used moisturizer before applying ur foundation.                                              
I usually use this before I apply on any make up. This helps hydrate ur skin. Its called the Moisture Surge by Clinique. Do know that if ur skin is dry, more dead skin cells fall off hence resulting in ur make up not being able to last long.





This would be my 2nd best recommendation.  This is definitely much cheaper and it has a great coverage. This works best for oily or combination skin as it gives a matte look.

















Use ur finger to apply small amounts of foundation on ur forehead, cheeks, nose bridge and below ur lower lip. Use the sponge and start off at the cheek (lowest part of ur cheek nearest to the nose) and work ur way up to the highest part of ur cheek as shown in the picture below. Do the same with the other side of ur cheek. As for your forehead, move the sponge upwards. For the nose, just use ur sponge spreading it all over ur nose in an upward direction. U can use ur finger to spread the small amount right below your lower lip sideways.

P.S.- The reason why I say that U must move ur sponge upwards is because, if u move it downwards all the time, it is very likely that you'll have wrinkles at a young age.

Now use ur concealer after ur foundation. U can use any type of concealer that works best for ur skin. I usually use the concealer from The Body Shop. Smudge it on areas where u want concealed. Dab on it to blend it. Do not rub.

P.S.- U should always use ur concealer after foundation because if u use it before, when u apply ur foundation, u will  usually rub it off.






Apply ur concealer on ur eye bags (if u have panda eyes). Work from the inner corner of the eye with a finger or a brush and move it outwards.















 Use a powder to set ur make up. It is necessary. I use Cyber Colours, Gemstone Compact. It has an spf of 40.
Now is time for blusher. I use Christian Dior, Rose Dragee code number 829. I personally love this because it gives a very natural blush. 

I use a bigger blusher brush to give it a natural look. As a small brush would usually make certain areas look more concentrated and give a blotchy look. Work from the lowest point of ur cheek and work your way up. :)
 Now for the prominent jawline look. :) This bronzer is from Clinique. I use a bronzer to give this nip in effect. Use the lighter shade for fair skin tones and use the darker one for dark skin tones.
Use a smaller brush and suck in ur cheeks. Brush the bronzer over the hollow area. Do it on both sides of the cheek.  

Now if you want to make ur nose look sharper, use an eyeshadow brush and the bronzer to do this. Brush the bronzer on the sides of ur nose bridge. 
 Brush it till this point of your nose and stop. Now your nose will look so much sharper! :D Cool?

 For the mascara, I use an eyebrow brush to brush my eyelashes so that there are no overlaps. Helps best when you want to avoid clogs when u are using ur mascara! 



 For the natural look, I use MAC Haute & Naughty Lash. It has two effects. One natural (twist the pink for the natural brush) and one more dramatic (twist the purple one for the thicker brush). Since I am going for natural I would use the pink one. :D














Use a nude lip gloss or lipstick to complete this look.



 Your look is now completed. :)
