The Grudge.

October 31, 2012 0
The Grudge.
If you haven't watched The Grudge already, then I recommend you watch it. It's kind of good. And that's if you like to be scared. So before actually going to bed now (10312012), I decided to look for a tutorial, follow it, and document. That's how I roll. Pretty much. LOL. Just kidding. I kind of failed though. I don't know how or what I turned out to be exactly. But nevertheless, I'm gonna be sharing some of the photos I took.


First of all, I don't have a foundation lighter than my skin tone and even if I had one, it wouldn't be recognized by my iPhone's front camera. I guess. So I just topped all the make up on the existing foundation that's on my skin. Actually, if I didn't have it on from my day activity, I probably wouldn't apply foundation because it probably wouldn't make any difference anyway. Just saying. I heard that the iPhone 5's front camera is kind of HD though. Mmm...

But don't hate. LOL. I don't care really. You can hate if you want. But nah.


Basically, what I did was darken my eyes by putting brown/blue eye shadows and I applied white mascara on my water line to make my eyes appear a little bit bigger. And also, kind of contoured using the same brown eye shadow. I also decided to put a nude lipstick on my lips.

Also, I messed up my hair which is not a hard thing to do at all. My hair usually looks like that on a daily basis. I mean, I don't really like to brush my hair a lot. It's damaging it more. LOL. Excuses.


I also decided to snap these photos using my iPhone's front camera so I didn't really bother much on blending my make up and all that. :D

Happy Halloween! :)

M.A.C Lustreglass Lipgloss. A Review.

M.A.C Lustreglass Lipgloss. A Review.
Howdy! You might have seen this one already before. I kind of posted it but I don't know what exactly. Some place like make up collection or make up thingy I think. I mean, where else can it be? Haha

I really used to love love love lip glosses. But now, not much. I don't know if I just think I'm too busy to do all that lip stuff or I'm just assuming to be. Or whatever.


The packaging is quite simple. It's translucent so you can see all the stuff going on inside the tube. Like, glittery stuff and all that. 

I obviously would prefer colored lip gloss since I think I don't have much time (yeah right) to kind of top this on my lipstick and all that. But it's also nice to let this on this own as well so whatevs. And it's glittery so it's all good. 


I love how the glitters are put together. I love how it gives you a simple pay off of color yet it seems to look kind of sophisticated. Like, "NOT YOUR SIMPLE GLOSS."

You know, I used to buy lip colored lip glosses because I like things shiny back then. I would buy blushes and powders with glitters too. But now, I guess that I am more of a matte person. Although I still like glitters on some aspects of life. K. Below are pictures of me with it on. 


With a lip liner from M.A.C and a nude lipstick. And then with this particular lip gloss on. Too much stuff going on m Iy lips, eh? Haha

And excuse my eyes! I really have a tendency of having uneven eyes. MOST OF THE EFFING TIME. LOL.

What I don't like about it though is it picks up on the color of your base color. Like you can see the color on your lip gloss wand afterwards. Which is kind of off. So I therefore conclude that it's probably meant to be on its own. So I have to try.

Now without anything on. I can't really tell if I super like this product. I like how it's not sticky to the lips though. It's pretty thick but that's kind of nice because that means that it's kind of gonna stick to the lips better and it's gonna stay longer. Who wants to reapply? That's just a waste of product, yeah? We all want long lasting stuff.

Peau Belle Concealer. Review.

August 31, 2012 0
Peau Belle Concealer. Review.

I had this concealer since last year I believe and I've been using it ever since. I like it. It feels kind of light and yeah kind of velvety when you're applying it and stuff. My mom bought it from Japan but judging from the name of it, it doesn't sound like it came from Japan or something. I actually didn't bother to clean the tube. So yeah as you can see, it's pretty messy. Oh well. LOL. I actually never heard of this brand  before or whatever but yeah.


I  don't know if you can see it but it costs 300 yen and that's a pretty good deal for such product and stuff. And it's made in Taiwan. I'm confused right now. Anyways.

It comes in a gold kind of packaging. The packaging is not bad but nothing really special about it either. It comes with an applicator stick and it's really pretty easy to apply. What I do is that I put a little product at the back of my hand and warm it up by mixing it a little bit there and apply it to my problem areasssssssssssss so yeah. It's kind of easier that way than to actually apply it directly to the problem area and to kind of blend it there. I don't know.

SWATCH
It's takes quite a long time for this product to dry so you might want to dry it first before you apply another layer and stuff. It's a medium coverage concealer but you can add another layer or probably layers to achieve a fuller coverage.

I've actually used this concealer as a foundation quite a lot of times too. Just because it really feels good on and stuff. Luckily, I haven't had a problem with it or anything so yeah.

Eye poppin' technique. TESTED.

July 29, 2012 0
Eye poppin' technique. TESTED.
After having watched heaps of YouTube transformation tutorial, I came across tons of techniques to pop and brighten the eyes and one of the techniques that most of the GURUS claimed the same thing. And that's to use...

WHITE EYELINER! WELL. I didn't know its purpose back then. 


Actually... I don't know. I can't tell if there's actually a difference. Not in my opinion.


My left eye is weird so never mind. Okay...There's actually a little bit of difference. Thinking about it logically though, every thing makes perfect sense. If you would adjust the white part of the eye by putting a white eyeliner on the the lower waterline, then it'll make an illusion of a bigger eye. Or eyes. The right picture looks more awake and lively than that of the right eye. I guess. So it kind of works!


Poor eyeliner. Lost most of its details before having known its purpose.

Nivea Soft Rose. Review.

July 20, 2012 2
Nivea Soft Rose. Review.
First things first, I kind of liked the idea that Nivea uses natural products (mostly). It makes me feel like I'm one with nature and all that stuff. I don't know why but I feel like using natural products is actually better than using all that chemicals and stuff. Well, not most of the time though. There are still synthetic products that works best. At this point, don't get confused. IT'S JUST ME.


I actually saw this product right before I bought the pomegranate one and I just thought that I did well that time. Like, for reals.


The packaging is quite classy.,Very simple.

I actually don't like this ROSEY thingy that much. I don't know why though. But it leaves a thin film of I don't know what that is and it doesn't feel right most of the time. Also, although not that shimmery, it feels a little dry and it does not make me think that it's actually moisturizing my lips like it claims too. It's actually very hard to apply too. Like, it's probably close to the feeling of rubbing some rose petals on your lips. Nah, just kidding. It just feels so wrong. It also has this strange scent that is comparable to play-doh which I don't like.


Excuse the mermaid thingy though.

Since it's color is not that pigmented, I actually tried to match it with my go-to lipstick but it just made my lips chapped which didn't happen to my previous lip moisturizers. Here's a swatch for you.


The color pay off is not really that well. It just gives off shiny particles which is not that beneficial. If not for the benefits it claimed to have, I would totally not like it but check this out.


I'm still giving the product a chance. Hopefully I would be able to like it and appreciate it. So there!


This is how the color looks like. I don't really know if the color is true because it actually looks the same as the color it is in the tube. But my lips are kind of pigmented as well so I don't know.

What's On My Makeup Purse?

What's On My Makeup Purse?

This is what my makeup bag looks like and I pretty much carry it everyday. I used to be so careless with my makeup and just put anything I can see that's relevant to whatever bag I carried but I realized that I shouldn't be like that anymore. (Feeling grown up) LOL. I don't carry a lot of things. Just the basic stuff I know are important. Let's START!


I use sanitize my hands a lot. I don't know. Vain like that. It's a dirty world. You know.


I also bring with me my Pigeon compact powder (love it), Elegance foundation (rarely use it), and my T'estimo II blusher. I actually don't apply blush powder a lot. But just in case.  


I have with me an IN2IT Sheer Shine Lipstick in Trim, a pink lipstick from some drugstore in Japan, a Dior Lipgloss and my ever favorite Nivea Fruity Shine. 


Last two things on my purse are these. A very cheap eye curler that has a quite expensive rubber thingy inside LOL. And  my hair clip that I usually use a lot because of internship. There you have it! Basically everything that's on my purse.

MAC Satin Lipstick. A review.

MAC Satin Lipstick. A review.

MAC Satin Lipstick's formula is really smooth and awesome when applied. It's not like those formula that's like when you're applying it, it sort of stops in the middle kind of formula.

     

This is what I hate about it. I actually have TWO tubes in the same colour. But since I got these as a gift, all good! I don't have much MAC products but I guess there's nothing very fancy about their packaging. Like, really. But it's all good. I actually watched a couple of April Favourites video awhile ago and someone from the bunch mentioned that if you're product is really good, you don't really need some fancy packaging which I guess is applicable for MAC. I mean, their packaging is not that trashy. It's actually quite simple yet classy.


FAUX 9D141 is actually kind of nude when applied. Or maybe that's just because of my yellow undertone or whatnot. My lips are not yellow of course! Hahaha. It's not that crazy nude kind of colour. It's actually like the colour of my lips alone. Maybe with a nice gloss, it's colour will come out more! :) Also, as you can see, the colour is really buildable so I guess that's a nice thing too. But of course, it might be nicer if the colour is like probably pink or red or you know.

I wouldn't say it's my favourite lipstick but it's actually not bad. But not that good either.

TOP YouTube Makeup Gurus.

TOP YouTube Makeup Gurus.
My go on my favourite makeup gurus.

1.

Michelle Phan is just so inspiring and sensational. I love her looks and all that. Even though I don't know her personally, I'm sure that  her personality is just as awesome as her beautiful looks. 

2.

 Jen/Jenny. Maybe because we have the same skin type and all that stuff. And I really get informed and all that stuff. I found out about her YouTube because I remember searching about "how to apply eyeliner" or something like that. 

3. 

I love how she have lots and lots of high end products. Although I probably wouldn't want to have that much all at the same time. Her reviews are also very useful and her tutorials are really very simple to follow. Although sometimes it's not really very wearable. I think I found out about her YouTube via Jen from frmheadtotoe. 

4.

Just because she's so bubbly and all that.

5.

She's just so CUTE! And she's pregnant, right? how cute!

I was a little picky when it comes to make-up so I kind of stuck to 5. Which is awesome! Haha. You probably noticed that my top 5 are all ASIANS. Oh well. It's either we're really good at it or we're really good at it. Hahaha.

Make-up love!

Make-up love!
We went to a relatively provincy place awhile ago to get some stuff that my auntie sent from Japan like, so many years ago and we only got it now for some whatever reason. Yeah of course you know what I got! Haha

I then planned to arrange my make-up so that they won't be messed up and that it'll be easier for me to find them whenever I need them and apparently, my collection can't fit to that whatsoever container anymore. And as a medical technology student, that's not a problem at all. I have this whatever kit case where I put my syringes and all that hematology stuff and the case is quite bigger than the previous and so I sort of exchanged them because I'm not really putting anything in that bigger case anymore since I'm already done with my hematology course and it's content can perfectly fit to that smaller make-up container that I was using before now. They're perfect for each other, you know. I guess it's destiny. So here's how my collection looks like.
