A Night Out Look! ^^

OK! One last makeup post before I go to Jakarta for internship, hehe.. :D Since I’ll be busy with my day job and probably passed out in bed after work, so I’ll be posting about what’s going in my regular life more often.. :) On the weekend, I’ll try to write beauty-related post. Fair enough, right? ^^

For this post, I’m going to create a night out look using the Eye Rockz eyeshadows that Vaun recently sent me! Thank you so much, Vaun! :D

Here they are…

As you can see, I got the “Sweet Lilac, Rock Chick, Frosty Lilac, Snowflakes, and Girly”  I’m in the mood for anything purple (again), hehe.. :D

Swatches:

 

Sweet Lilac is so soft and sweet, like lavender.. Really really love the color.. :D

Fresh Lilac is a big surprise for me, since it’s the frosty version of the Sweet Lilac so I will use it in this post for the night look!

Rock Chick is a mix of grey and purple, and it complements the two of them very well..

Great combo, right? It’s my purple palette! ^^

Snowflakes is a white and a bit sheer when it’s applied, but it’s very useful for any look. It can be used for highlighting or just for shimmering.. :D

Girly is pink! Nuff said, haha.. :P I’ll have to make another look for this, watch out for the next makeup post! ^^

Makeup base and cheeks

 VOV Skin Control Base, Zamian Magic Cacao Whitening BB Cream, Palgantong Makeup Theatrical Powder, The Face Shop Loose Pearl Powder, Nars Blush Orgasm

Eyes

VOV Skin Control Base, Bourjois Concealer, Bourjois Eyeliner, Palgantong Eyeliner, Eyelash Curler, Maybelline Mascara, NYX Eyeshadow brush, Lavhusca Eyeshadow, Eye Rockz in Frosty Lilac, Rock Chick, Snowflakes.

As far as I concern, eyes are so much more complicated than the face and lips ah! So much effort for such a tiny area, haha.. But there’s the art right there, hehe.. :D

To make it short, here’s the finished look.. (What??? Just like that???) OK, just kidding.. :P

Step by step:

Use the VOV Skin Control Base as the eye base, and then apply Frosty Lilac on the eyelid. Above that, apply Rock Chick on the crease. Use Snowflakes for highlighting and on the inner corner of your eyes to make it look ‘pop’. For the upper eyeliner, use the Borjouis Eyeliner in black and Palgantong Eyeliner in lower liner, but only half and make it as thin as possible (I don’t want to make it look too smokey). I also added the dark plum color from the Lavhusca eye palette above to make the outer V corner. Maybelline Mascara is the last.

Seems simple but in reality you have to use your feeling.. :) The key to make a night look eye is the FRAME. If the eyes are framed beautifully, they will look bigger and POP! ^^ Therefore, eyeshadow and eyeliner are the essentials.  I’m still an amateur in this too, but I’m practicing hard.. :)

And.. down to the lips.. So simple.. Skin79 Lipstick and Bourjois Lipgloss..

FOTDs!  \(^_^)/

My eyes! Sparkle! ^^

Trying to look cute, hahaha.. :D

 

Smile! ^^

Going All Out Purple! ^^

I deciced to do the All Out Purple Look, using the newly arrived stuff from my fave seller, Lina! Here they are:

Zamian Magic Cacao Whitening BB Cream

Benefits :
1) Shrink pores.
2) Restore skin elasticity.
3) Heal acne skin.
4) Brighten dull looking skin (whitening).
5) Controls excessive oil formation.
6) Firmer and supple (soft) complexion.
7) Soothe and maintains PH level of skin.
8) Anti-ageing.
9) Moisture, repair & regenerate new skin.
9) Suitable for all skin types especially acne, pimple, dull looking & stressful skin. This applies to all ages and gender.

The color is light brown with a bit greyish shade, kinda like Dr. Jart’s BB Cream.. The only difference with Dr. Jart is that the Zamian one has a sheerer finish and more blendable to your skin.. ^^

The texture is very runny and light, but it’s very easy to blend.. ^^

Voila! It gives me a dewy look.. Kinda you-just-got-up-from-bed-look, very fresh and glowy.. The coverage is medium, but it’s buildable.. The Zamian BB Cream is specially made for oily-acne prone skin, so I don’t have many complaints about it, except it’s kinda hard to cover my hot red blemishes.. >_< (due to hormonal acne, what can I do??)

The scent is soft floral, not like chocolate at all.. Too bad cause I was hoping it would smell like a dark chocolate.. (the Zamian mask smells like chocolate, see the review here)

For the whitening property, I can say that it does whiten my face 1 shade lighter (maybe because I’m fair already so I can’t tell), but it’s really brightening! Like there’s a light coming out of my face, muahahahahaha.. :P

Have any of you tried this BB Cream out? Tell me! \(^_^)/

 

NEXT! ^^

It’s an Eyelash Curler! Yay! I’ve been wanting for a long time.. :) It’s electric so it’ll need 2 AAA batteries (sold separately).. And it’s PINK! ^^ OK, a closer look.. See that pink rubber to curl the eyelashes? After it’s hot, it will turn into white, took about a minute or so to do that.. Reminding me of a hair curler, also uses heat to make the hair curl.. Same theory la.. :)

Time to test it out! ^^ It’s turning to white, see?

You can’t really tell from the picture, but it really curl my lashes! Bad angle, sorry.. :( Because it’s using heat so the curl really lasts and really easy to apply mascara on.. Personally I’m happy with this eyelash curler and really save my time, not to mention so practical! ^^

********************************************************

My makeup squad:

Eye Makeup: VOV Skin Control Base in Green, Eye Rockz Shimmer Mineral Eyeshadow in Disco Night, Suki Gel Eyeliner, Maybelline Mascara, Lavhusca Eyeshadow

Eye Rockz Review! ^^

Hello hello hello..

It’s been a while, right? Well, it’s time for a review! ^^
2 weeks ago, Vaun, the creator of Eye Rockz which is based in Singapore, offered me to test and do a review of the eyeshadows.. After waiting for a while, I got the package about a week ago, so here is the review! ^^

Introduction for Eye Rockz: (taken from the website, here)

“Eye Rockz is all about mineral eyeshadow which is all natural, preservative free hence is gentle on our eyelids and it suits all skin type including sensitive. Eye Rockz mineral eyeshadow is all natural and handmade. Ingredients are specially flown in from the United States and are all Federal Food, drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDA) approved for use in products for the face, eyes, lips and nails. In order to keep the products fresh, eyeshadow are made only upon receiving an order. Eye Rockz mineral eyeshadow is non-comedogenic, soothing and healing for skin troubled with acne or environmentally sensitized.”

Sounds promising, right? Well, let’s take a look.. ^^

I chose 3 different colors: Sunshine (orange peach), Aquarium (fresh blue coral), and Disco Night (deep purple). It comes in a very cute packaging!

Cute organza pouch! All the little details made it so special.. :)

If you’re noticing there’s something different with the pictures, hehe.. Yes, I edited it with Meitu Xiuxiu, I decided to bring more colors to my post la! Besides, we’re playing with colors here, right? I’m in the mood for something colorful and bright.. :)

OK, let’s try the Sunshine..  Ooooohhh… I can hear you all saying.. “Very orange!” Yup, that’s exactly what I’m thinking too, hehe.. Let’s see after I swatched it on my hand. Very pigmented and shimmery.. I’ve never had eyeshadow in this color, usually I picked pink (obviously), brown, or purple bluish.. So this is totally new to me..  :) The only cons for me is that I’m affraid I might spill the powder off, since it’s my first time using mineral eyeshadow.. I have to be very careful with it, hehe..

First, eyeshadow base.. I’m using this one.. This is actually a makeup base, but now I use it mainly as eyeshadow base. It’s green and helps brightening up my eye area a lot! Since I can’t afford the UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion) yet, I’ll stick with this for a while, haha.. :P

Apply primer to the eyelid..and then..

OK Done! The color blends into my skin very well, this is my fave color so far, I’ve used this for daily campus look, and I love it! ^^ The color seems to make my eyes brighter without overpowering it.. :)  To create this au naturale look, I blend it using my fingers.. I can feel the eyeshadow powder is very soft, (of course la it’s mineral) and very easy to blend.. You can see for yourself.. ^^  I must say, the lasting power is superb! I’ve used it all day, and I mean all day, from 8 am to 7 pm (that’s what I called a regular day on the road for me), and the color stayed put nicely! No creasing at all! Even after sweating, it stayed on! ^^

*******************************

Moving on to the next color, Aquarium..

It’s very sparkly! Although it’s not glittery, but it still has a beautiful glow.. :) It’s a mix between blue and green..  Bright and fun! I’ve been looking for a color like this, a bit turquoise.. :) For me, it resembles the color of the sea.water.. (although water is supposed to be transparent, haha) But it has a very summer-feeling, so I like it.. ^^

On my eyes.. Cute, eh? ^^ Matches my blue contact perfectly! ^o^

*****************************

NEXT, It’s time for the Disco Night! The color purple is so deep.. Me likey! ^^ One of theEye Rockz bestseller for purple is the “Sweet Lilac”, a soft lavender color, but I didn’t choose that since I wanted something for the night. Well, maybe next time, hehe..

Swatched on my hand.. I looooove the color.. :)

Oh, almost forgot, I was using my NYX Eyeshadow Brush to create this look.. You have to tap the excess powder to control the intensity of the color, a little bit goes along the way..

Voila! ^^

Tested on my eyes, using the blue contact lens.. Perfect for night events! ^^ Really glamorous and mysterious.. On  a side note, my mother loves this color too.. She has a soft spot for purple, hehe.. ^^

And here is the picture for comparison.. 

Which one do you think is best for my blue eyes? Aquarium or Disco Night?? Hmmm.. For me, it’s hard to choose ya, hehe.. My mom said the Aquarium matches my eyes better with the blue contact lens, the colors seem very similar.. ^^

Alright then, that’s it for the review! Hope you all have fun seeing all the colors and cuteness! Special thanks to Vaun who has entrusted me to review these.. ^^

So, what do you think about it? Share me your opinion! \(^_^)/

This week round-up! ^^

Hi! How are you all doing this week??
Me, I’m very happy cause this is the last day of my Mid Semester Test! Muahahaha.. :D

Now I can relax and blog with ease, hehe.. So let me show you some of my beauty purchases this week!

Sunsilk Straight and Sleek Texturizing Wax! I haven’t use this because I’ve been struggling with mid semester test this week, so my hair is the least of my concern.. The only thing in my head was study study study, ha! :D   But I bought this anyway.. I will try it later on and do a review.. ^^


Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Conditioner for Long Hair.. With a fusion of Red Raspberry and Satin.. Hmmm.. I wonder why they would choose the words “Long Term Relationship” as a name for a conditioner?? :D  Nevertheless, this conditioner smells lovely and fresh to me, I’ve been using it for a couple of times this week, and I’m thinking of buying another one.. The raspberry smell is so cute and fun!  Love it! ^^
And… this one is the local product that I bought, Sariayu Martha Tilaar Mukjizat Tolak Jerawat Sekar Sari (literally it means “Miracle of Anti Acne”) Since it’s skincare product, I’m still testing it and I’ll give a full review later.. :)

  This one is the Skin Control Base from VOV.. Yes, it’s green.. the review will have to wait cause my face is in treatment time, too many blemishes.. :(

But here is something cute to be reviewed! ^^ Hello to the newest addition of my eyeshadows! :D

It’s NYX Eyeshadow in HOT PINK! ^^

The inside..

but from the swatch here, you can see it’s not like Hot Pink after all, this pink shade is soft, more like Baby Pink to me, hehe.. ^_^ No shimmer, this is matte eyeshadow..

A bit experiment.. Since I’m a shimmer addict, I HAVE to add some shimmer to my eyes, hehe.. I add some shimmer highlighter from my Lavhusca eyeshadows and some eyeliner to define the line.. :)

  Done! Well almost, haven’t add the mascara but I guess it looks OK already.. I think it’s subtle enough for everyday college look and hangout with friends, since I love pink so much, haha.. :D

********************************************************

This week is not only about college test for me, but it’s also about food! Since I’m feeling a bit nervous and lots of tension *cause of the test*, I tend to eat more sweets.. Shall we take a look on one of my favorites?? ^^

I always wonder if sakura (cherry blossom) would be made into some kind of bread, what bread would it be?? Well, this is it! ^^ It’s from Breadtalk, one of my fave bakery! ^^ I forgot the exact name of the bread, it has something like, cherry blossom bread or something like that, haha.. I’m so terrible in remembering names.. :P 

There’s cheese filling inside, uniquely mixed with cherry blossom smells and flavor in the cream.. Sweet Heaven! ^^

The shape is cute, right?? It’s like a cherry blossom flower in their blooming time.. :) BTW, this time of the year on April is sakura’s blooming time!! Aww.. I do really want to go there.. T_T My fave Malaysian blogger, Ringo from http://cheeserland.com/ is at Japan right now, enjoying the spring time, doing “hanami”.. Looking  from her blog there’s all the beautiful sakura’s flowers, waaa.. Made me really wanna go there too! ^^

How about you? Do you have a place where you want to go this time of the year? Or any sweets and snacks you’re loving right now?? Share with me! ^^

And I’ll see you all at the next post! :D
