EOTD: Midnight Pomegranate



I was inspired by one of the scent line of Bath & Body Works called Midnight Pomegranate. Although it's not my favorite scent from them, I've always thought the combination of dark pink, orange, and purple that is shown on their packaging, was beautiful.

I used my 96 color palette again since I didn't aim for any shimmer. For base, dark pink color from Mehron Aqua Pastel palette was used and the rest are from drugstore (Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara, Jordana Rich Vanilla for highlight and L'oreal HiP Cream liner). I don't really like how I did my liner this time (boooo) but overall, the color came out nicely.

So here are the pic spam, hope you enjoy it =)

EOTD: Green Apple Flirtini



Hello again, ladies~

I know, I know...I need to stop neglecting this sad blog, and start updating more since I promised you to...but to my defense (lol) I have been in a no-buy and I'm surprisingly doing a good job. That being said, I haven't had any new haul or anything. But then again, it's not really an excuse for not updating now, is it?

>_<

Anyway for this look I chose green & aquamarine color since they always remind me of my favorite beach in O'ahu called Lanikai. I used my 96 Palette from Ebay. The main lid color would be the bright green, 3rd from the bottom. It's quite pastel-y but I like the contrast with the aquamarine color (4th from top). Other product used were Mehron Paradise Aqua Palette (green base), L'oreal Lash Stiletto mascara & HiP Cream Eyeliner.

It's not my best, I haven't played with colors for long T__T but I hope u like it =)

EOTD: Purple Passion

Well well well...look who's back! =D

First of all, HELLO NEW FOLLOWERS, thank you for stopping by and following me. I'm sorry I haven't been so great at keeping this post fluid but I can't really give you a good reason other than I haven't worn much makeup recently. I also haven't purchased bath & body products ever since I went into a no buy. My Isle of Eden scrubs are still sitting neatly in the darkest corner of my drawer, untouched and curing.

Anyway, today I decided to play with colors again, and I chose purple.

YEAH.....what a surprise, right??? LOL Well, if you're my long time follower, you would know how much I love purple although it's risky of choosing the right shade that doesn't make you look like you just involved in a nasty gang fight and got punched right in the eye.

I used my Miss Rose Palette which was always gawking at me, begging to be touched (ew) and here are the colors


1 on brow bone
2 on tear duct
3 on the lid
4 on outer corner
5 applied above the crease

Other product:
L'oreal De-Crease Eyebase Primer
NYX Black Bean JEP
Sephora Volumizing Mascara
(from the Beauty Insider Birthday Gift ^^, I like it!)




It's more of a smoked out purple which could be an alternative for going out at night if you're bored of just using black for smoky eye.

Before I end this post, I want to share a mini haul I did back in December from Jojelle. I purchased their Whipped Bubble Scrub because I've heard so many great things about it, and it did lift up to my expectation.


The scent I chose is PUMPKIN LAVENDER, an interesting combination but I really like it..,,smells so sexy and the pumpkin isn't being too foody in this. The scrub consistency is in the middle, not as scrubby as Isle of Eden's but not as creamy as Haus of Gloi's. It is a clean rinsing and as far as I remember, it did not leave any oil residue on my tub.

Anyway, here are the spam





My next post will be reviews of Flutterby Beauty & Peachy Clean. Stay tuned!!!

FOTD: Whimsical Valentine


OMAGAH
I feel like it's been years since I posted something :( So sorry guys, winter makes me lazy hehehe.

Without further ado, here are a recent look that I created. I'd call it a Whimsical Valentine. Well, since Valentine it's on its way, I figured I'll create some looks that could be worn during Valentines. I'm not personally big on wearing pinks on my eyes so I'd prefer playing with other colors that are still soft & girly.

Anyway, I decided to use my Miss Rose 40 Eyeshadow Palette (hello, long time no see! ^^) and Mehron Aqua Pastel Palette as a color base product.







(BASE)

The teal was applied on main lid
The purple was applied on crease

(Eyeshadows)

1 & 2 were mixed, applied as lid color
3 was applied on inner lower lash line
4 was applied on outer corner
5 was applied on crease & under brow bone
6 was applied to deepen the socket
7 was applied as highlight

(Other product)
L'oreal HiP Black Cream Eyeliner
Rimmel Sexy Curve Mascara

With Flash




With Natural Light


My WHUT?! face lol

I was wearing NYX Barbie Doll on lips
(in case anyone wondering ^^)

Thanks for reading, hope u like it.

EOTD: Wasabi (Miss Rose Palette v.2)


Another look I created using Miss Rose palette, but this time I decided to try the version 2.

I know what you might think, "How many more green looks are we gonna see??!!" Well guys, I seriously have no answer because believe it or not I planned to do a smoked out gold look using gold and charcoal colors.

LOOK WHAT IT TURNED OUT TO BE!

=D Apparently I used a more olive-y gold color and the charcoal that I picked has some green specks therefore it blends nicely with the olive gold and looks forest green on camera.

*sigh*


Well, fortunately it turned out ok... These are the colors I used.
#5 is a matte black from the Version 1 Miss Rose Palette.
#1 inner lid
#2 main lid & lower lash line
#3 outer corner & lower lash line
#4 highlight
#5 crease

Other product
UDPP
L'oreal HiP Black Cream Liner
Rimmel Sexy Curve Mascara




For fun, here's a lip swatch of MAC l/s called "Miss Rose"
just because they share the same name =)
