New Makeup Purchases

New Makeup Purchases

Hi all,

Today's post will be about new makeup purchases I've made for the past few months.

I can't wait to dive in and share my recent purchases! I'm guilty as charged as I've spent way more on makeup lately. But whatever, Chinese New Year is coming soon, so all these purchases are justified.

Lets start with face.

Face

Wet n’ Wild Photofocus Foundation

This foundation gives a light to medium coverage. It claims not to give you flashback when you take a selfie with flash. It doesn't oxidise and it does creases like other foundations. But it's not end of the world, you can always apply powder to avoid any creasing. It stays long, and foundation on the area around the nose doesn't just vanished into thin air, even if you have a pretty greasy face. It's a matte finish, and I'm not sure how it works on über dry skin.

Wet n’ Wild Coverall

Surprisingly the pink concealer does salvage my dark purple under eyes. I don't feel like I was a zombie without any makeup when i solely use this. I was afraid the 'nude' concealer maybe too dark for me, but it does help covering up my stubborn hormonal breakouts. I find that the highlight shade is perfect for the brow bone.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

Do we really need any explanation for this???

NARS Blush in Orgasm

I can say this is a bit of a Marmite product. Even if NARS claimed it to be one of it's best selling blush. It's bold, and highly pigmented. As I've previously mentioned, I love to go ham on my blush even if it looks like a baboon's bottom. I love the colour, it has a gold glitters in them, and when the light catches at a certain angle, it really does give you a glowy look.

NARS Laguna Bronzer

As if specks of glitter on your blusher is not enough, you have to add it to your bronzer. But do I mind? No. I love them.

Makeup Forever Artist Blush

This is a coral shade, for days when you want to look youthful and natural. Thank me later 😉

Becca Highlighter in Moonstone

Can we take a moment to appreciate the invention of highlight? This highlighter is the bomb diggity. It is finely milled and it is stunning!

Eyes

Wet n’ Wild Photofocus Eye Primer

If you have oily eyelids, and all eyeshadows creases on you, this primer is for you. Thank me later

Heroinemake Volumising Waterproof Mascara

I thank my mom and dad for my long lashes, but boy are they straight like an elephants'!
If you want your lashes to stay curled, after curling them with the oh so pretty Shu Uemura eyelash curler, try this.

Innisfree Auto eyebrow Pencil in Gray

Is my boyfriend amazing or what? he got me this eyebrow pencil and I am in love!!!! below are the photos of me in this!

Lips

Etude House Limited Edition Lucky Puppy in Orange

Can we appreciate how cute is the packaging? The orange tint on this lipstick though, it's too cute! It gives your lips this juicy lips with a natural looking orange lips. So so up my street!

E.l.f Lipstick in Red Carpet

Ok, let's be real, this colour is a bit too bold for me, but hey, it's Chinese New Year! I believe I totally can pull it off! With a natural makeup and pairing it with my Makeup Forever blush, perfect!

Look at the highlight, the lipstick, the mascara, the foundation, the blusher. I'm in love!

December

December

An amazing birthday celebration

I know, it’s that time of the year, year of celebration, year of festivity. How is it December already? I felt like I’ve been living in the fast forward version of 2017. Christmas lights on streets, decorations that are oh so Instagram worthy. Who doesn’t love Christmas? Who doesn’t love the beautiful lights on the streets? It is safe to say that December is my favourite month of the year. Is it embarrassing that I’ve been hammering on repeat of Christmas songs on my Spotify Playlist since October?

As you all might know, I’ve recently celebrated my birthday which I uploaded quite a number of shameless photos on Instagram. Honestly speaking, I wasn’t feeling well on my birthday, I woke up with a cramp-like stomachache. I know I have a very poor immune system, I do not know what causes the cramps. What a way to start your birthday, eh?

Anyway, I wanted to go MBS in mind. It was indeed a beautiful weather despite the constant and ruthless torrential rain happening these few months. I was pretty chuffed with the fine, sunny weather. As usual, I put on my favourite eye palette form Etude House. I’ve recently discovered not too long ago on the wet n’ wild eye primer. It really prevented the creases on my eyelids I used to have. I love to go ham on my cheeks, which my boyfriend refers them to the monkey’s bottoms. But I prefer them to be called the Duchess of Cambridge’s signature look. Speaking of royalties, can we talk about Prince Harry and Meghan had announced their engagement and their coming wedding in Spring? What? I’m literally squealing inside! Eeek!!

Moving on, as for lips, I opted for a subtle red lip look. As for the outfit, you know how I’ve been harping on the bag! Oh my word, isn’t it a beau? As for the shoes, I love my Mango suede loafers. I pair them with literally everything! No one would want to see my toes! For accessories, I’ve kept them minimal as I want my bag to do all the talking. As usual, I’ve had my everyday jewellery with a slight change of earrings. Instead of studs, I went for hoops.

I’ve had lunch before I left for MBS, and by 3pm, I already wanted to go home. I know, I’m such a grandma, but I wasn’t feeling well, and I really wanted to go home already.

To end the wonderful day, my boyfriend got me a cake! He’s amazing, isn’t he? I video called my family and it really was the first time spending my birthday far from home. Hopefully, in the near future, there will be many great firsts happening. *crosses fingers*

I know I’ve rambled on too much, so here is me, signing off. Below will be the pieces I’ve worn and loved on my birthday. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading!
