shot in the morning.

shot in the afternoon.

learned new old technique

learned to fill eyebrows using eyeshadows from my neighbouring friend. and it works! i should've done this way before!

thanks lyd! <3

success!

finally, i successfully shaped my dream eyebrows! it took me about 10 minutes! T_T

oh, sorry for that shiny face. i just got the chance to make this entry in the evening. there's someone in the office, so powdering my face to hide the shine would seem like "overdoing it".

today

since i feel a little bit fresh today, i pull off this look. quite over the top buuuuttttt...hey, what's the big deal?

you have oily skin and you want to put on some makeups

hi. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time no see.

okay, here's some tips for you out there. if you're already an expert, please turn away from this page. thank you.

first, please use oil control compact powder. you don't really need two-way foundation cake. if you do need, get yourself a water-based liquid foundation, make sure the texture is light. super light if you can find. and cover only the areas that need to be covered, your t-zone of course and where the large pores reside.

and then, if you have the itchiness to try shimmery eyeshadow, metallic and so forth, please, just forget it. since you're face is oily it's already "shimmers and shines". plus, don't think that you're eyelids are not "contaminated" with facial oils. so that's why shimmery eyeshadows are bad choice, because it will smudge everything you applied on your eyelid, especially the eyeliners, be it pencil, gel or liquid. use only normal eyeshadows, or matte. the same goes with blushers.

and finally lipstick. gloss, well you can use it but not in humongous amount. just enough to make your lips look wet. matte lipsticks are the best. overall, you will have a clean, non-oily look. and should your face become oily in the middle of the day, just pat your face with facial tissue, and retouch your makeup if you want.

those mentioned above are based on my own make up experience since i have oily skin and tend to sweat quite heavily. you might experience the same, or slightly different. so the aforementioned are basically come from my own experience. hope it, in any ways, helps.

see ya!

my new rimmel lipstick

after weeks of eyeing, aiming, considering and calculating, i finally bought this. it's rimmel colour show off in red fever. i'm on fever.

this is not a finish lipstick but still i based it with lip balm, because i don't have that lip primer, but i don't mind as long as my lips are conditioned. great colour, non-drying (maybe because of the lip balm), and the colour is just great! well, i just need a reward for myself. i've been working hard, didn't i? thank God it was on sale that time.

Bobbi Brown : Makeup Manual & Beauty Rules

When my interest in makeup started, I was searching high and low for reading materials on makeup artistry. Of course u can always try to look on makeup tutorials online, but it wasn't good enough for me. While I was browsing through the Bobbi Brown website, this book captured my eyes. I've search the book at local major book stores in PJ. But not successful. So my last try is Kinokuniya, KLCC. Lucky me there's only one unit left and I rushed to ask my sister to bought it for me after she finished work.

Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual

I really find this book really fulfill my need and hunger that I seek for all this time.As for beginners like, the book is so much fun to read. I mean, just look at the step by step illustrations and all. How can u not like it and started to do it on your own.  I think I kinda like Bobbi Brown makeup style. Not over the top. Natural. And the best part is, the makeup represents you and not somebody else.

Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules

This book is released into the market recently. Of course I immediately inform  my sister to look for this book at Kinokuniya. Even though this book was targeted for the teens , it is quite suitable and useful for the adults too. This book offers useful and easy tips on how to approach makeup.

Conclusion: Go and get this 2 books at Kinokuniya. I bet you will really enjoyed reading it and really  helps you to understand the makeup itself.

NYX: Makeup artist kit S101

This is one of the palette that I bought recently. Bought it online around last month I guess. When I got my hands on it, I was stunned for a while.I don't really think that palette can amuse me before this. But when I have it, I can't even blink my eyes and just can't wait to run my fingers on each of the colours. I think I'm goin to bring this palette when celebrating Hari Raya at Kedah. But instead, I bring my other palette coz' I really want to take my own sweet time lingering and admiring on the new palette. The palette goes straight to my makeup storage box and not even my sisters knew bout' it. Maybe in couple of weeks I'm goin to do some experiment with it. For now, let me introduce to u guys again to this gorgeous palette of mine.:D

why i wear make ups to work?

NYX Round Lipstick in Snow White (LSS569)

hello, i'm your new lipstick reviewer. haha! just kidding. lately i'm so crazy over red lipstick. yeah, real red lipstick. i have now 5 of them. so i'm going to review the 5th red lipstick i just got yesterday. it's NYX Round Lipstick LSS569 Snow White. some of you might have used it much more earlier than me and knows very well about this lipstick but i still want to review it too. :P

it doesn't glide smoothly on your lips if applied directly. so it must be some kind of finish lipstick. besides the colour is more like plump red than red, and makes your lips feel dry right away. so i wiped it off with baby wipe, and applied nivea lip care strawberry first and top it with the red lipstick. also i have to apply it using brush so the result will be neat and even. you can directly glide it on top of the lip balm but the colour will be so dark i got scared to see my own lips. plus the intention is to make your lips look sexy and fresh, not scary and dead.

like this. at first, i was disappointed with this lipstick. but after the treatment, i began to love it and yes i do love it! it's just a finish lipstick so nothing's really disappointing about that only you have to bring like three things for your lips (the base lipstick, the finish lipstick and a brush). i had a bad intention due to the disappointment that i would make it a toy lipstick, but i changed my mind, the lipstick is approved and it will be taken seriously. XD

i love collecting mugs!

i always got to find the time to get my favourite stuff anywhere i go. bought these mugs from a shop in Kulim, Kedah, called Ceria 99. since i'm a loyal mug collector, so i brought home these three chosen mugs to join in the society. yes, all mugs are carefully choosen to fit in the mug society of mine. :)

sweet, sweet indian sweets

after eating a whole banana leaf of rice and some indian side meals, i was quite hesitating to get the sweets for desserts. but, knowing that i have a sweet tooth, i decided to get them, not one, but three!

the square one is mysore pak, the round one is......ummmm......ladu i guess and that half banana shaped (i ate half of it on my way home) i don't know what it's named but it tastes really good, a mix of milk and banana flavour!! but i tell you, it was really hard to finish them all, when you're already stuffed with heavy meals although i have cut them into small pieces so i can share them with my whole family, but the sweetness and milkiness made it hard. but believe me, these sweets are delicious!

gorgeous stripe wedges!

found this in ohjoy! blog. see it here, where it comes from.
