EOTD: Autumn Bronze with Inglot


As the fall weather started to kick in, I felt the need to celebrate the color of autumn leaves. I tried to incorporate Inglot pigment #63 with some gorgeous warm pigments from Heavenly Naturals and other products. I can't stress enough how I love Heavenly Naturals pigments as they're super pigmented and very easy to blend.

Here's the list of product I used
:

Inglot pigment #63 (all over lid)
Inglot single eyeshadow #615 (inner corner & highlight)
Heavenly Naturals Desire (above crease)
Heavenly Naturals Furious (outer V)
MAC Blacktied e/s (on the crease)
L'oreal HiP pigment Tenacious (tear duct & inner lower lash line)
L'oreal HiP cream eyeliner Black
Revlon Intensifying False Lashes

Update & fake MAC !!!

I'm in Jakarta now and probably had eaten half of all the food here. Seriously, all I've done is eat eat & eat more. The flight was not so bad, although it was SOOOOOOOO long (18 hours back to back) and I experienced at least 5 turbulances and it kinda made me sick in the stomach lol Other than that, I'm happy to see my family again, and my friends from college showed up at the airport to see me.....they're so nice!!!! Ai, I was really happy to see you =D remind me to bring the omiyage next time we meet, k? lol

So I thought I wouldn't be able to blog as much now ever since the connection from Indonesia had been so terrible, but apparently my mom installed internet at home and it was pretty darn fast, so here I am blogging again *honestly, I just couldn't stay away from you guys hahahaha*

I'd also like to share you something interesting I found at my mom's makeup drawer, she told me she found a fake M.A.C and HAD to buy it just because it's so obvious that it's fake and the pigmentation is pretty decent.

I saw it and I cracked up.....it really looks fake!! The M in the M.A.C logo is the only noticable differences but of course I've never seen MAC releasing this type of quad. So without further ado, here's how it looks like



these are one swipe O.O pretty awesome, eh?

So I'll be updating once I have some new stuff to blog about hehe. Until next time!

EOTD: Sexy Bedroom Eyes


I'm in the sultry smokey kick lately, so I decided to recreate a bedroom eyes inspired by the infamous Kim Kardashian. Did you see she even wore the smokey eyes on her sex tape? LMAO.

I aimed for the "come hither" effect, a back to basic smokey eye using black and browns. I noticed smokey eye tends to make my eyes look smaller so I used white liner on my waterline to open my eyes. This step is optional.

Here are the items I used


Urban Decay Primer Potion
Mehron Paradise AQ Palette brown for base (cow's butt is back! lol)
MAC Black Tied (or Carbon, or any black e/s)
96 Eyeshadow Palette (dark brown, medium brown, light brown & highlight color)
Cover Girl Lash Blast
Rimmel Soft Kajal Eyeliner (White)

Then I addedRimmel Soft Kajal Eyeliner (Black)
*this is also optional*


~~Thanks for reading~~

Press My Pigments


Abbreviation
EG: Earthen Glow Minerals
TMM: Taylor Made Minerals
TSS: The She Space
MAC: .........I have no idea.......... LOL


I need a masseuse !!!!!

I spent the whole day pressing my pigments, it's definitely harder and more time consuming than I thought it would be...*rub neck & back*.

Everything started with the arrival of my 15 empty palette I bought from Wuzzyangel who is having a sale, she's a doll & kindly included some freebies too ^_^ THANKS hon!!!




So I prepared stuffs I needed like pigments, alcohol, paper towel, a quarter, fabric (I cut an old thin jeans), q-tip, mixing jar, spatula, liquid binder (I used Biosilk because I don't own EZ Press) and flat iron.


I recently received these MAC pigment in swap, so I did 2 different ways of pressing,
  • Alcohol & Flat Iron for MAC Pigments
  • Biosilk + Alcohol for mineral pigments (flat iron is optional)





It's super messy, I'm telling you....plus I'm a clutz so my hands seriously looked like a 3 year old's playing watercolor UNATTENDED. These two pics were only some mess I captured, I had to wash my hands like gazillion times today...thank God for moisturizer!!!


Here is the picture of this palette with decoration...
I used most of my Dragon Paisley stickers =)


I'm still drying them at the moment, so if anyone would want a swatch, just let me know ^_^

GOSH MY THUMB HURTS!!!!

Btw last night I decided to store & organize my pigment sample baggies in a better place. For the longest time I've had them sitting in my drawers, and it's always a pain whenever I need to look for one particular color because I had to dig through piles & piles of sample bags.

So I took my unused photo album & stores them according to colors category & brand. It's so much easier now =)

HA HA!

Thanks for reading/watching!
