Mermaid Halloween Makeup Collab. w Cindy aka L0v3STORy13


Well...hello there you lovely human beings :P...I am back with YET another Halloween Makeup look to share with you all...really trying to dish out as many looks as I can fit into these last 2 weeks cuz halloween is just round the corner!!....Today I am also collaborating with another of my YouTube friends, Cindy from L0V3STORy13...please do go ahead and check her look out also..she is such a sweet person and a great beauty guru!..We opted for our takes on 2 separate mermaid inspired looks...mine being of course the more colourful/prettied up version and Cindy opted for the 'darker' mermaid look...Nevertheless we both hop U guys will enjoy this tutorial :D
So the main palette I will be using for this tutorial is my new favourite for this halloween season, it is ofcourse the Urban Decay Electric Palette! The colours are super pigmented and vibrant, extremely appropriate for creating crazy and creative makeup looks ^_^

1. I am going to apply some white creamy shadow all over the eyes as well as the eye brows, then grabbing a blue colour from the palette I am going to trace it along the fold of my crease before feathering out the colour along the outer V.
 
2. Next find an old fishnet stocking and put it over your head to stencil out the 'fish scale' effect. Use a combination of colours U want, here I chose blue, and combination of dark and light green to gradient out the effect.
  3. Apply a pink and purple shadow along the sides of your nose and feather out the intensity for a softer pastel finish. Fill out your brows with the same colour.
4. Go ahead and apply a pair of fancy lashes to enhance the whole look, before finishing off with some gemstones along the upper inner corner of your eyes.
5. Finish off the look with a gradient colour lips, here I am using my Lime Crime 'Poison Berry' in the middle of my lips before feathering out the colour using a nude tone lipstick....and VOILA!  ure look is COMPLETE! ^_^
I must say though although it did take a lot of preparation before actually sitting down to film this look for you guys, I really enjoyed myself during the process, cuz I was able to experiment and really try to break out of my usual 'wearable' makeup tutorials I am so used to filming for you guys...so this month of Halloween makeup is deff a nice little breakthrough to the wonders of other types of makeup looks! lol...^_^

The Products I used for this tutorial were:
→ L'Oreal True Match 'Ivory'
→UD Electric
→ Lime Crime 'Scorpio' Zodiac Glitter
→ Maybelline Hypergloss Liner
→ MAC 'Flesh Pot'
→ Lime Crime 'Poisonberry'

Be sure to leave comments and let me know what U all think of this tutorial! Would love and appreciate any feedbacks! See u in the next post my lovelies!..Moochies x

ETUDE HOUSE 'Go Back' Firming Eye Cream REVIEW!!


Hi guys! so I am back with another quick review on an eye cream product I bought a couple of months back from ETUDE HOUSE..I had originally planned to re stock on my eye cream holy grail which was the ETUDE HOUSE EYE'S CREAM in Vanilla, but unfortunately they no longer have them in stock in Thailand :( which was a big bummer 'cuz I have been using that eye cream for absolute AGES, the very reason why I was quite reluctant to even try this one as recommended by the lady at my local Etude shop. Unlike the one I was used to use, this one was apparently a better performing eye cream because it was especially formulated for those looking to either prevent or reduce signs of aging and wrinkles...*Ahem...that's me!*...hence the name "GO BACK" literally reversing the time for your skin back to its youthful past...lol..(or so it had us wishing!) Either ways I decided that since I needed an eye cream anyway, I might as well test out this wonder cream and see if it could work its charms on my saggy under eyes @_@
This..you may or may not have noticed but my right eye has a slight sag underneath it unlike my left...(weird right?)...anyway I had to live with this ever since I hit my early twenties which was around the time I started to appreciate the use of eye creams..although I did not use it nearly as religiously as I do now but I did try to salvage whatever I could to restore back my 'youth' lol..it was not until around my 25th birthday that I really cracked the whip and started becoming more strict on my skincare routine.

"Go Back to the best time of your skin"

As suggested by their motto, this eye cream is specifically formulated for those who are looking for Anti Wrinkle & Anti Aging solutions to a more youthful and collagen surged skin.

Application & Performance 

I apply the cream under my eyes twice a day. After I wash my face and before I tone, I like to apply a thin layer around my eyes before applying the toner (leaving out the under eye areas). I feel that when I do this the cream actually seeps in much better than if I leave it too long after I wash. The smell of the cream is very subtle sweet refreshing smell and the consistency of the cream is also not too thick and non sticky which I truly appreciate! I hate creams that are too sticky, and I feel this cream was just right. However, once applied I do find that it does have a lingering heaviness around the eyes, this may put some people off as they might not like the 'heavy' feeling of the cream (especially for those with oily skin) but for me I actually didn't mind, in fact I felt that the sensation may be part of its working spell as it works its magic on my skin! lol...and since I have dry skin as well..this was no problem.

As for the results itself I can actually feel that my under eye areas are lifted a little bit as compared to before. I have used this product for approximately a month and a half so I can't say I can see any drastic changes just yet, but a definite improvement is there! Like most other beauty creams, you just to need to use it consistently to see great results, and I am definitely going to continue using this eye cream to achieve that desired end results. Hopefully I will be able to post a before and after pic to show you guys any drastic changes that can be seen from using this eye cream!

My Verdict...Yay? or Nay?

I definite YAY for me since I do see results in just a month and a half so I can really look forward to a more promising end results when I continue to use it !!!...^_^ 

MY SCORE: 8/10

UPDATED! Foundation Routine Feat. Bobbi Brown + Sigma Brushes Demo


Hi ladies! Today I have my updated foundation routine to share with you all! This is a full face/full coverage foundation routine (that I obviously don't do every single day..just on the days when I need to go all out or when I need full on coverage!) ..For my everyday foundation routine I usually just stick to tinted moisturizer with built in SPF..since I feel that is all I really need for my light makeup coverage for the whole day!
 In this video I am also gonna be showing you guys my latest obsession with my new BOBBI BROWN Foundation Stick that I got over a month ago...and CANNOT get enough of! lol... I have dry skin, this product really help to adhere full coverage without it looking flaky or caky...it still retains a level of moisture that my skin needs and doesn't seem to over dry itself over the course of the day..which is what I love so much! However it is advisable especially for those with combination to oily skin to not apply on too much of the product as it can become rather sticky..apply in moderation and set off with a powder only if u need to (but if u have dry skin like me..u will find that u may not need any setting powder^^)

I am also going to do a quick recap of the brushes I use for my foundation and concealer application. All of my preferred brushes are from SIGMA , just because they were my first proper set of makeup brushes and it lasted me a pretty long time so far! (3 years to be exact)..For the actual foundation application I find that it is best to go with this flat foundation brush heads like this Sigma Foundation F60 brush, which I find works much better with cream foundations, and to help target small problem areas while concealing, I like to go in with my Sigma precision flat P80 for evenness in covering. For the highlighter, I find that this Sigma Tapered Kabuki F86 is a great brush to work in the fine under eye areas. My favourite choice of concealer is this Duo Concealer from Physician's Formula which works great with my skin tone, and for highlighting of course it is none other than my Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in 'Neutraliser'

For my usual every day foundation routine, where I don't need full coverage I love my URBAN DECAY Beauty Balm which has an added 20 SPF, and for those occasional days when I need to add some 'dewiness' I may also add a blob of my REVLON Photoready skin lights to add a bit of glow to my skin!


Hopefully U guys enjoyed reading a little bit about my foundation routine, Be sure to leave any comments if you have any..I'd love to hear your inputs!..^^..See ya in the next post!
