Au Natural (LOTD)

By icyabstract · November 9, 2008 · 2 Comments ·

Today's look of the day would be the ultimate definiton of Neutral, since it seems like I have hardly anything on to begin with.
Aside from the fairly obvious liner which I still refuse to give up.
I guess doing tight-lining and all that is fab and gives great definition while making it look "unseen", but I loved my smoked out smoldered liner look too much to give it up, so here's my take on a Neutral look using very minimal items at that (only because I was in a rush).

(click on image for full quality. The compressed one makes my face look jagged, lmao)

Face:
EDM Foundation in Medium Beige Neutral (Original Glo + Matte)
Revlon Blush in Tawny Peach
ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

Eyes:
MAD Mineral Shadow Base
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Eyeshadow in Tiger Eye
Maybelline Unstoppable Smudge Proof Eyeliner in Black
SIlky Girl Lash Prism in Black

Lips:
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Shine City

 

I absolutely love how Mineral Foundation makes my skin look prettayeeeee.
Simple and fast neutral look using minimal and cheap makeup!
Thanks for reading. (:

Drugstore and MAC darlings (:

By icyabstract · November 9, 2008 · 0 Comments ·

Like I've said, here's the entry about the haul that I had done a little over 2 days ago.
I haven't done a video on the stuff yet because the drilling was being so horrible over the past few days that I didn't want to put you guys into such misery. I'll probably video when the environment is a little bit more pleasing. (:

Either ways, here are the stuff that I had gotten!
I initially planned to post swatches as well but sadly since I was taking photos at night (towards the end), the swatches turned out poo-ey and the colors never really did show up, so I guess I would not be posting swatches for these stuff unless someone requests a review or something.

So here's an overview of my drugstore haul.

And now, the closeup of some of the stuff.


Maybelline color wear blushes in shades watermelon, apricot and rose.


Silky girl Funky Eyelights, these are the bomb. And tbh I didn't buy these for myself ;)
and I'm not saying why I bought these just yet.


Silky girl .... I forgot what these things were called. I'm guessing it was Moisture Lipcolor, or something.


Here's a closeup of the colors. Names can be given upon request.


And I got my second Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Shine City.
I so love this.


L'oreal makeup remover,
Only because I have been requested to do a comparism between this and the Maybelline one.
honestly, I don't usually go out of the way to purchase something just to review it upon request, but since I have been fairly curious about this product, I decided to give it a try. But I'd have to say my current general verdict is that L'ancome's makeup remover still kicks ass.


Maybelline Brow Duo in Dark Brown


Watsons Eyebrown Trimmer and I tell you, this stuff is fab! With this around you can say goodbye to your eyebrow scissors.
Not so much so your tweezers or razor, but it definitely makes trimming your brows down a breeze!


And this is how the bath head-band thing works.
(It's the middle product on the top row in the main picture)


And probably one of my most random buys. Let's just say I was being curious and having too many cups of coffee these days aren't exactly the best remedy for white teeth either.


And here's my MAC haul, the Little Darlings in Warm.
Gosh these are so adorable and I just had to get them. I passed on getting Danger Zone from the Red She Said collection since I wasn't too sure if I would use that a lot. The glitter in the centre is sooo chunky it's hard to work with. And the other colors just didn't seem practical. It's cute though, but there's no point in it.

Swatches are courtesy of pursebuzz.com

 

And that is it, can't wait to try some of the stuff out (:
If you have gotten or are planning to, what would you get from the MAC Holiday Collection?
