Hello!

Earlier in my quick feature about Dior's 3 Couleur palettes, particularly the one in Nude Glow which I had received, I mentioned I would post up some snap shots of how I wear it and how it works so here it is!

❧

The 3 Couleurs are designed to be quick and handy for daily use. You wouldn't find overly strong tones or see a shot at complex looks with these. Not to say that you can't try, but the idea of them is for everyday use.

Across the 4 colors available, the 3 Couleur shadows provide a gentle wash of color on the lid with the option of some dimensional shimmer. There is also an inclusion of a matte black for a soft touch of definition.

Here's a look at how I have been using the Dior 3 Couleur in Nude Glow.

What I do:

• First, using an eyeshadow brush I apply the creamy brown shade (left on palette) all over the lid, blending it just into the crease.

• Next, using my ring finger or the fatter sponge-tip provided, I dab the golden shimmers (right on palette) over the center of my lid and under my brow bone.
• After lining my eyes thinly with a liquid liner, I then dip the finer sponge-tip in the black shadow and go over the liner, blending it out a little. This gives a subtle 'smoked liner' sort of definition.

The finished eye look is super simple to do and since I do it on a daily basis, with glasses and without the fuss of mascara, the whole eye process takes me less than 5 minutes to complete!

Yet the soft smokey black eyeshadow gives the eyes enough definition that it isn't harsh yet not overly bare as well. The fine gold reflects also help to brighten the eye area despite the simple wash of color on the lid.

Here's the complete face look with my recent favorite blush and lip combo:

Incase you are wondering, the fav-o cheek and lip phase I am going through now would be the recently mentioned Diorific Lipstick in 340 Diorling paired with Sleek's Powder Blush in Rose Gold.

The 2 shades seem so similar in terms of finish – pinkish with a golden sheen – that I just had to pair them up. NARS Orgasm would also work with this but I may have misplaced mine :( *shock horror*

That being said, hope everyone's had a great start of the week and....

.... yes! I caved and went back to 'looking young' – the bangs are back!

Thanks for reading!

Over the (extremely shortlived) weekend, I attended my cousin's tea ceremony and took it as an opportunity to get a non-neutral LOTD done.

My looks these days have been boring with a captial B so any form of color inclusion is a big hurray in terms of variety.

I usually do 'the works' for work days (foundie, mascara, eyeshadow etc) thus weekends are reserved for kicking back in nothing but some UV protection, light powder, done up brows and maybe a dash of eyeliner if I feel like it. Super minimal and understated.

So when it came to working up a look for an occasion, you could say I was in a bit of a rut. Regardless, I reached for an old MAC palette I loved and tried to work some (very simple) magic with it.

The look is simple and quite a shame that the colors ended up looking a lot more blended out than I would have liked, instead of being rather 'individual'.

To better explain it, it's like how you use 2 shades and somehow they blend such that it ends up looking like one? But oh well, so long as the look works.

For the lips, I reached for a new inclusion to my stash, something I will talk about real soon! I am in love with the shade, the texture and how moisturizingly luscious it feels on.

The MAC palette I dug up is this one over here and I can't even remember which collection or year it was out in.

L-R: Seedy Pearl, Crystal, Shale, Trax, Beautymarked, Parfait Amour (my fav shade!)

Since the eye look appears to be one sole blended shade, here's a little idea of what went where with the MAC Gem palette.

Inner Corner - Lilac-silver shade from Majolica Majorca palette
Inner Lid Portion - MAC's Shale
Outer Half of Lid - MAC's Trax
Outer-V Contour - MAC's Beauty Marked
Purple 'Accent' - MAC's Parfait Amour

Outfit-wise, I wore the newly acquired dress from My Fashion Affair. I didn't have any outfit shots taken because the tea ceremony setting was way too people-infested to have any shots done there and I didn't remember otherwise.

This is as close to an outfit shot as I got.

And so this wraps up my weekend!

I hope everyone had a good rest the past 2 days and aren't too depressed about the looming week ahead. I know I am... Well, not depressed but not exactly looking forward to the extreme busy-ness to come but sometimes we have to grab life by the horns! ha!

Thanks for reading!

Boring title but it was either this or "What I wore to a wedding!" which was truly what I wore this look to but... well I opted for this title in the end.

Every time during a special occasion or event, I would often wreck my brains over what eyeshadow look to do, aside from the usual neutrals. Most of the time, I draw a blank and go with smokey purples, blues or moss which I love but a little change and variation can be fun too. With that, I thank Pinterest for being a great library of visual references.

I'm not awfully active on Pinterest but I like browsing, not necessarily re-pinning unless I really want to remember something. That said, this look was inspired by a photo I chanced across. I'll put up the photo later but do note that I didn't replicate it exactly, just got some inspiration off it.

Just because there was a good load of palettes mentioned I thought I would post which shades I had used from which. While I have mentioned whole palettes, I really only used 1 shade from each.

The squiggly lines are a bit of a mess but here's what went where.

Blue – 88 Metal mania color (above) with 'Float on A Could layered over
Champagne – champagne shade from Majolica Majorca palette, blended between blue and bronze
Bronzey Brown – A bronzey brown used from Majolica Majorca palette to blend the outerhalf
Dark brown – Dark brown from Wet N Wild to accentuate the Outer-v
Skintone Brown – From 28 color palette (not pictured) to blend the edges
HIghlight – From 28 color palette (not pictured)

After running through all that, here's the picture that I was inspired by but clearly this was done sooooo much better. I even contemplated posting it because it would make my look seem so blah.

I loved the minty green they used but I couldn't find that particular shade so I had to go aqua blue instead.

(image from Pinterest)

Just to throw it in, here's what I wore to the wedding. It's nothing new and you have all probably seen this outfit and these wedges mentioned a couple of times.

A bad habit of mine is that I rarely plan what to wear the night before so I often end up just grabbing and going with whatever outfit comes to mind.

Ending off, here's the beautiful bride for the evening, Clara! Check out that blinged-up gown!

Thanks for reading!

Before things pick up and get waaay too busy (celebrations and back to work after) I want to squeeze out this Chinese New Year entry! It's a rambly mix of my LOTD, outfit and some perfume thrown in there. If I could call this entry a mini-summary, I would.

Why am I doing a random Chinese New Year entry when only Day 1 has gone by? Well I'm not too sure but perhaps it's also to give a quck HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR shoutout!

Makeup-wise I think the Chinese New Year period is never a time for me to showcase any interesting eyeshadow combinations because it's neutrals all the way! Somehow I prefer neutrals over Chinese New Year, perhaps it's the whole meeting elderly thing, you want to look as.... 'naturally made up' as you can?

Following shots were taken when I got home because it was all rushrushrush in the afternoon.

I have worn this neutral combination (using Sleek's Storm) about a gazillion times now and it's one I reach for when in doubt. It's great for formal social situations where colors might not be such a good idea and it's neutral yet not too everyday-natural.

Since I've worn it so many times I always fall back on this when time is of an essence because I know it will work and it's really quick to do.

Here's a full face though my blush is a little non-existent after 8 hours.

Since Chinese New Year is all about visiting and eating, carrying a lip product around for touch ups is a must!

I wore Clinique's Almost Lipstick today and brought it out as well and am liking it for it's color and texture. The balm-like texture does it's job of hydrating the lips so you can constantly reapply it without drying out lips out. Color-wise it's quite a soft natural color but still provides an accent and applying it on a moving vehicle isn't too much work either.

It's now a resident in my bag for the Chinese New Year period, along with my must-have Gatsby Powder Oil Blotter and MAC Studio Fix Compact.

And here's the very simple outfit for today.

Typically the first day is a very simple affair as on my end the closer relatives come over to my place so there's not much dressing up to be done. After lunch I'll head over to the boyfriend's place and do some casual visiting with his family so that's as far as dressing up goes.

Instead of busting out glamorous dresses, I opted for something more casual yet still presentable. A little nautical set I had purchased during my Bangkok trip! Boyfriend went for a casual-formal look though you can't see his pants here so... oh well. Snagging these shots off twitter & instagram.

And ..... this isn't the end!

Very quickly, since I shared a perfume choice over the Christmas festive period (Elizabeth Arden's Pretty Hot), I thought to share what I would most likely be spritzing on over the course of the Chinese New Year visitings!

Coach The Fragrance

It is an extremely wearable perfume that's floral, fruity and yet balanced out with a soft hint of musk at the same time. It's perfect for every situation really be it day wear or night wear and the fact that it is pretty lasting on me definitely makes it a good one for CNY. Not a particularly quirky or interesting scent but still a classic, feminine one to check out.

For real this time, this is the end of it!

So do share, what is your preferred fragrance choice for the visitings this year?
Or for any family occasions if you don't celebrate CNY :)

Thanks for reading and Gong Xi Fa Cai!

If I were still doing video tutorials I might have done one for this look because I really like how it turned out in the end.

I've seen the Trouble Maker MV a few times and always liked this particular styling on Hyuna.

The mix of sage and bronze eyeshadows with a random pop of a baby pink lipshade, I think it's cute. Since I had all the time in the world to get ready today I thought to try an inspired-by look.

It's particularly challenging as when I say inspired in these situations, I really mean that I'm trying to get the exact thing she has going on - the tones and shades etc. It's not going to be perfect, hence the 'inspired' disclaimer, but overall I like how it ended up.

Here's a screencap of the look that I was going for:

I thought to skip on that lower lash eyeshadow thing that she has going on because I'm not used to doing that but in end I tried it anyway. My take was a lot more subtle and shaded out, compared to hers.

Here's my take:

When some people do inspired-by looks they really end up looking like the person in question. For me, I feel I just don't 'look like her' because of my face structure? So I thought why not throw on some grey contacts to bring me that one step closer!

Cheap trick, I know.

Apologies for the scary closeup picture mid-way through but the full face shots turned out to be rather scaled down after uploading. Thus I felt a close-up would be a good representation of the complete look.

Here's a breakdown of what colors were actually used (and how) since a couple of quads/palettes were used.

1. All over lids, below the crease, blend the edges!
2. Dab on the inner corner of the lids
3. Layer over color (2) because I wanted a slightly lighter tone.
4. Dab (with fingers because this color has fall out!) on the centre of the lids
5. Blend from the outer corner to the centre, extend it slightly out of your lids. Dab color (5) again if it gets muted
6. Blend this lightly above the inner corner (crease area). You can see the bronze in the images above!

For the heck of it I tried my hand at center-parting (which Hyuna has), something I haven't done since my secondary school days...

But eep... no.

I think I am much better off with my bangs or to compromise maybe slightly centre parted bangs. heh

All that aside, today was such a gloomy and rainy day with so many things going wrong but within all that wearing this makeup just made me feel that tad bit better, is that weird?

If I don't manage to get on here later today or on Christmas, I want to say...

Eat, drink and be merry while mingling with your loved ones this festive season!

Thanks for reading!

In the midst of moving important items from one hard disk to the other and lookie what I found in my photo folders... a haul that I never got the chance to mention. Okay, how do I lose pictures if I'm typically so crazy about organization?

Well I import images from my camera directly into folders that date themselves and from there I group copy & paste into another folder. It's hard to explain but sometimes I group copy the ones I want and think to come back and get others but end up forgetting them altogether. Thankfully I do find some of them again before I delete the dated folders.

❧

I picked up some Sleek Pout Paints with my last sleek order awhile ago, made possible thanks to Chantana (everbluec)!

My main purpose of joining the spree was because I caved and picked up the Sleek Oh So Special palette. There are tons of images about it already so I shall do a really quick 2 picture feature about it and move on.

Okay maybe a small quick paragraph too but I just couldn't resist this palette. Sure I have a ton of neutrals but I like the coherency of the shades in here, pulling a little pink but not too much with shades that you can use to create a smokey look. Seems like a handy thing to bring abroad so you can do that neutral look and also glam up if need be.

Moving on, I've always wanted to try Sleek's Pout Paints and decided to pick a couple of shades up.

i kept with rather typical shades that I wear straight out of the tube since half the time I wouldn't bother with mixing them. I was hesitant on getting these because I know I probably wouldn't reach for them that often, seeing as I own 2 OCC Lip Tars that are just sitting in my drawers right now.

Nonetheless, I got it anyway so I'll have to make myself use them now.

I got them in the shade Peachykeen, Milkshake and Minx.

I like the smaller nozzle of these as it allows the product to dispense easily without a mess, unlike with OCC's Lip Tar.

However this also means unlike the OCC where you could apply it straight to your lips, you will definitely need some applicator with this. A lip brush is the obvious choice but in this entry and in the few times I've used these, I squeezed some on the back of my hand and dabbed/blended it out with my fingers.

I can foresee myself using Minx a lot.

After swatching these I thought why not just mix them all together for the fun of and I ended up with a shade as such.

Definitely not a unique shade and something I could easily replicate from my stash but hey it's still pretty. It almost seems like Minx devoured the other 2 colors or something, all trace of Peachykeen was lost but it's probably contributing to the tones of the mixed shade in a subtle way.

Here's a lipswatch of the mixture above.

As with the Lip Tar these could accentuate any dryness or flakes on the lips so do hydrate and exfoliate prior.

Even though I'm not a daily user of these Pout Paints because they arent the most convenient to throw on in a rush, I do like how they give a natural matteness to the lips. In instances of more neutral-toned shades, like the one above or perhaps Minx, it almost seems like foundation for the lips. Not in that pale muted way but it evens out the lip color in whatever shade it is without making it look too made up. The subtle muted glossiness adds a nice touch of dimension though as you can see it's really not all that glossy in natural lighting, more well.. natural looking.

Well that's enough of me rambling. Have you tried these Sleek Pout Paints?

If so what are some of your favorites be it from-the-tube or a combination?

I'll bet almost everyone was busy celebrating Halloween over the weekend be it with SFX makeup or dressing up. I have encountered a couple of bloodied nurses, vampires, and this were-beast looking person though I think his huge poufy hair was real and not a wig...

Anyway, I am sadly not one to dress up for Halloween though I did my fair share of being festive, just minus an outfit and alternate identity. I guess I'm just lazy when it comes to really planning what to wear and the whole dressing up thing. I keep telling myself I'll be in character next year but it hasn't happened yet...

Maybe next year!

This year however, still in the purple shadow mood that I can't seem to escape from now, here's what I donned for a night out with my creepy undead friends.

The above picture is a little blurry but I'm posting it still because I love the sheen. The shimmery colors in the Sleek Monaco palette is truly lovely!

Can I console myself a little and say that at least I went slightly of my character and pinned my fringe up? I rarely ever pull my fringe back but I quite like how the hairstyle looks, though it makes me look more mature?

I feel tempted to grow my bangs out long, about the length of my hair itself, and have it in that style but it'll take me forever to grow it out.

I find myself reaching for the Estee Lauder Lipstick in Bois De Rose a lot lately and it seems I'm slowly creeping away from my Orange/Coral blushes. While I never was a fan of slightly bolder lip colors, I find deeper neutral shades seem to sit better with my current hairstyle, bangs and all.

So, did you get dressed up over the weekend or planning to celebrate it tomorrow/tonight?

Also, I do need some costume suggestions so maybe next year I will FINALLY be dressed up for Halloween. The only cool thing that comes to mind is vampires but it's a little over-done, I find..

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.

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!

Yes, it's Sleek once more!

I think it's pretty much a given that I do love Sleek and their limited edition releases often have me wanting to get my hands on them. Especially after I've gotten into Sleek fairly late and missed out on a couple of lovely palettes (namely the Safari palette).

That aside, here's the Mediterranean collection! I skipped out on the Pout Polish.

I saw swatches of the Monaco eyeshadow palette floating around online and thought I HAVE to get this.

Something about the various colors and they way they swatch together really make the palette a whole. Individually the colors are gorgeous but lets face it, it's probably not a whole ton of unique. But hey, I still love this palette~

I would love to try and do a colorful look with Kiwi Zest and Lotus Flower. They look like they belong together.

Another item in the Mediterranean collection is this super bam hot pink blush Santorini. It's also nice how the Mediterranean design is printed on the palette itself instead of being on a plastic wrapping around it etc.

Santorini swatches very potently but you can definitely sheer it down for a more natural wear. After swatching that pigmented strip, I used what was left on my fingers to blend on another portion of my arm (hence the blended out picture is rather light in color).

Initially I thought it would be similar to MAC's Full Fuschia but I am pretty wrong. Santorini pulls a more blue-pink tone while Full Fuschia definitely looks warmer.

The last item I picked up is from their permanent collection. I side-tracked while surfing the site and decided to give this a shot, Glo in Peach Shimmer.

In comparison to the eyeshadow palettes, this is how big the Glo is (Glo on the top)

Look-wise it resembles the shimmerbrick or the however many renditions of gradient strips there are out there. The strips are wide enough that you can swatch them on their with an eyeshadow brush if you were ever thinking of multi-tasking this product.

The brush enclosed is average I would say. It's not scratchy but it's not soft and velvety on the skin. It does it's job if you don't want to bring an extra brush out.

All the shades are quite shimmery hence I would say this is more of a highlighter then a blush product, but it really depends where you pick the colors up from.

Here they are individually swatched.

And with flash, the bottom swatch is of all the shades blended together. You can also see how reflective and sheen-ish the individual colors are.

It's really quite pretty, especially the lightest shade and I can imagine using some of them as eyeshadows.

So that wraps up my small haul. If you're looking to get your hands on some Sleek, Joanna (missjology) has a spree on right now over here.

I am a little swayed to pick up the 'Oh so Special' palette but do I really need another neutral palette? I don't think so?

And random but I have to thank the boyfriend for offering his arm in the Monaco eyeshadow palette shot. Nothing like the ease of swatching on someone else and twisting their arm to the lighting. ha!

And he'll kill me for uploading that picture... oh well.

Thanks for reading and thank you to Kas (cocomotion) and Iris (rougedeluxe) for the ordering and sending over!

This was the look I wore to the Magnum Pleasure Suite event.

Technically, with Magnum's main colors being all warmed browns and golds, neutrals would fit right in the theme and neutrals happen to be my go-to colors.

I could have just settled for that but no, I went with greens this time.

I made the look a little darker after deciding on my dress. Since it was blue, I didn't want to be too colorful overall, what with my hair being reddish in hue.

While trying to keep it smokey I played around with adding a little more color then my usual three-shade style (inner corner, outer corner, outer-v). I actually added a hint of purple on the outer corner (from the Sleek Bad Girl palette) but I guess it really was just a hint!

Its only evident in this photo.

It's quite plain to see, I am loving my Sleek Bad Girl palette. Or rather I'm loving my sleek palettes in general though the ones I have used the most of would be Bad Girl and Storm, quite predictable I guess!

Since I mentioned my dress earlier I thought I should feature it but I didn't take a proper outfit shot. Though this group photo (with Iris, Chantana and Kas) taken by the event photographer does show it. I swear we might have 3 different shots with different cameras of the same pose.

The wide-angle lens distortion makes my arms look odd, like I have some weird muscle thing going on! The dress ends just after the horizontal strips, incase you're wondering.

It's my dad's birthday today, heading out for a surprise birthday dinner soon. I was going to do another look but I guess since my parents prefer me with light/minimal makeup and it's my dad's birthday, suppose I'll do that for him. Either ways, enjoy your weekends everyone!

Thanks for reading.
