LOTD & Outfit: Greek Party look (using Sleek Monaco Palette)

By icyabstract · July 16, 2011 · 11 Comments ·

In terms of makeup for a Greek party I guess using golds and browns would be the way to go but I wanted to try out the new Sleek Monaco palette that I hauled so I went for something a little more crimson-ish.

Product Used:

FACE/BROW
Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
Anna Sui Protective Loose Powder (to set)
K-Palette Liquid Brow Liner in 01
Majolica Majorca Brow Wax in 77

EYES
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Sleek Monaco Palette
Sleek Storm Palette (highlight and slight bit on the inner corner)
K-Palette Liquid Liner in Black
MAC Powerpoint Liner in Engraved
Canmake Lashes in no. 01

CHEEKS
MAC Eversun blush

LIPS
Make Up Store lipstick in Bare

Highlighted products were provided by companies/distributors,
I was not obliged to use/feature them in LOTDs.

From the Sleek Monaco Palette, I used three shades. Namely Lotus Flower on the inner corner, Sunset on the outer and Moors Treasure just to darker the outer-edge. A picture to reference the colors:

Though I did use some shades from the Sleek Storm palette over, such as layering the light beige slightly over Lotus Flower so it didn't look too purple-ish.

To date I think I've worn this same pair of Canmake lashes over 6 times and it's still going strong! I hauled these way back in 2008 (haul post here!) and have only discovered and started liking/wearing them now, talk about a slow revelation!

 

As for my outfit, I pretty much wore what I had sitting in my wardrobe since I didn't have time to shop for something.Though I did try to accessorize a little to greek it up as much as I can.

The dress was something I got way back from an expo sale, I think for maybe S$10? It was a heap of cloth and by chance I held it up and thought it looked pretty decent. The wedges, which can't really be seen though, are from loef.sg - super comfy and I worn them to death too.

The accessories I wore were provided from jewelmint.com. I was wondering on what occassion would I be able to wear these pieces but I guess they came in handy!

The ring has a cute little tassel and the bracelet has interesting black and white 'beads' amidst all that gold.

Yeap, toilet shots pretty much because I still don't have a full length mirror at home.

 

Thanks for reading!

Event: Greek-themed Party for Adonis SBA Finalists

By icyabstract · July 16, 2011 · 0 Comments ·

Hello everyone!

On the 3rd of July, OMY and Adonis held a small party at their NEX branch to gather the SBA Beauty Finalists for some talk and to share our experiences (on camera) about the entire episode.

 

The theme for the night was to come dressed like a Greek goddess, or at least Greek-ish.

Aside from a short video interview that each of us had to go through it was mingling, photo taking and the occasional briefing. Really not all that much to elaborate about so hopefully this would be my first entry that isn't wordy! ha.

I'll let pictures do the talking, and majority were pictures of I had taken with the other finalists.


Kelly (tardyqueen) posing so we couldn't take an unglam shot of her eating.


Some words from Adonis once everyone was in attendance.


Instead of anything alcoholic we were served health drink cocktails! Adonis's very own Kozo Enzyme, a popular and very effective product of theirs.


With sisters Vivian (on left) and Valerie


With Irene, who's in the same industry as I am!


With Ju-Ann!

And somehow I didn't take a photo with Clara, but we had a little best-dressed segment and of course our lovely Clara won!

From photos alone you can't see her full outfit but her self-made organic (because those are real plants) was pretty cool!


And a final shot, group shot with the ladies!

We walked away with a little travel kit from Adonis and the 'range' that each of us got was random. I ended up getting the mature skin range so aside from keeping the Soft Peeling Gel for myself, I gave the rest of it to boyfriend's mom.

 

This was a quick topic to digress to before I continue posting about my adventures at Changi Airport. I had to organize that post a little more before I could put it up.

Next post would be the look that I wore to this party (using Sleek Monaco) and a little more detail about my (not so) Greek outfit! heh.

Thanks for reading!
