hihi,

i recently bought somthing from asos because it was on clearance and i was thinking why not give it a shot. Liquid bronzy metal would not go wrong right? so i hit the pay button and dang dang dang danggg!

my 3rd illamasqua product - 1st was a blush that i resold it because it wasnt the shade i expect to be and 2nd was nail polishes which its still at hyd house haha!

Sorry for poor image quality.. all picture taken from iphone4

looks so nice when swatch and very "oily" feel. pigmentation is amazing :)

nicesh bronze shade me love love bronze in this shade! great for all over the lid and poof off you go.

and small so its go to bring it for travel :)

but it creases like ..... * no comment*

still i wish it work on me but i not sure is it because my application problem or what because in this post

http://allthevanity.blogspot.com/2009/11/illamasqua-liquid-metals-enrapt...

it does not crease on her and say it creases the least! hmm.. maybe i have break into the product yet and probably its the top layer problem?

anyway i think its a keeper because  it makes a great base for that pop of color, have yet to try it with a UDPP if i can find where i put it haha! its a total mess in my room now so.. maybe other day when i feel adventurous

take care have a great week ahead.. :)

i came across this video when i was browsing thru some michelle phan existing video and this was the next best featured video.

kinda interesting haha especially when she is a japanese and makes it even more confirm that japanese people are super innovative!!

enjoy!

Hi all,

Sigma new collection featuring 7 essential the travel size brushes that is cater for beauty on the go.

This is great because they pack all the important or common use of brushes into one container that is great for travelling or staying over at friend house etc.

Comes in 4 colour - purple, black, coral and aqua. all shade are the same as the 12 brush kit just smaller. :)

as you can see the size is smaller then the regular one, which i think is very good for travelling by keeping the brushes safe and plus it double up as a brush holder.

• E30 - Pencil brush
• E40 - Tapered blending
• E55 - Eye shading
• E65 - Small Angle
• F30 - Large powder brush
• F40 - Large angle contour brush
• F60 - Foundation brush

Basically you can create 1 whole full face makeup with this collection - its only available at here

Retailing at USD$59 - 1 brush is about USD$8.5 which is very worth and plus a brush holder what more can you ask? Do check it out and i am sure you will not be disappointed

when i saw facesbysarah mention about how pigmented the etude house palette was and they having 30% discount now.

HOW CAN I MISS IT??!!

i recently have a thing for anything that is alice in the wonderland stuff. blame it on the alice in the wonderland movie that i see again.

sorry that the picture is not clear enough. but this is the best true to color as i can get.

seriously, this is a great deal and all the swatch is use using by the lip brush as you can see those colored one are amazing pigmented and super creamy.

take a look at the next picture. some have slight dip to it. omg! some what like MAC creamsheen.

However, if you notice that all the lip color has some "pink"this is not brush swatch contaminated. it all underneath the palette, even i was shock that "ohhh, pink.. goodness! dun tell me will affect the shade?"

Nope it does not! i cant wait to try out the blue tone red at the top left of the palette!

Speaking of the palette is quite strong and sturdy so do not fear that the product will get into mess or broke into pieces when traveling.

Is it a must get? - Yes!, If you are starting into makeup yes! after discount $28 with 18 shade and being so pigmented that you hardly need much of it. :)

hope that it helpful. Ask away!

my very modest haul. i manage to control myself as compare to last year with limiting myself of $150 buget. got a back up of a guerlain foundation in pearly white and a new foundation in AQUA they have the new guerlain lingerie foundation but unfortunately my shade run oos so i cant try the new foundation. Both were selling at $35 each.

stila eyeshadow is for my friend, she say grab any eyeshadow i can find. haha! i have some similar shade to it so i giving all to her :) - sorry no swatches unless i have her permission

when i saw this at the sale floor i knew i have to grab it! i saw these review online and alot love the pigmentation and the beautiful glow it give. so without even thinking i got it i love the patterns on it and can use the brush to swipe and decide if you like it more pink tone or more glow to it. $30 at the sale.

rusty whatsapp me this morning and saying the bronzer is more towards orangey and like bronze-blush that type - took out my nuance blush and solar richie bronzer from mac. i am not sure if my eye playing trick on me? because it looks 80-90% similar. haha!

nuance have a very nice golden glow sheen to it with a very slight hint of coral tone

blondes have a richer bronze shade as compare to nuance

solar richie is a limited edition which have more stronger bronze shade and much pigmented then blondes but they are in the same shade if i build up blondes.

dupe or not you decide. :)

thanks for reading my post:)

hihi you all! back with a haul and few review coming up soon.

there is 2 part haul one you can see the the exam haul and the following up is the luxasia sale haul which happen yesterday

so i went a little crazy on my spree with michelle, rusty and kim because firstly i blame it on exam that made everyone was so stress out during the last month. haha so we went on a addictive spree mode haha! secondly, there is SALE every where.. so can you please tell me how to resist? - do not ask me how much it cost because i didnt keep track of my purchase haha! gosh!

what you will be seeing is sigma + sephora + non pareil + bath and body works haul haha - where shall i start?? :D

most of the product i purchase were mainly from recommendation or stuff that i would wanna get for a long time and some of the swatches are availble online NOW for better and clearer swatch. (i have yet to get a camera so all photo taken is from iphone) might do a seperate post for that and do a better review on them.

i showing you which item i am most excited about only haha!

i share the sephora MUFE set with michelle & kim, gotten these 3 gorgeous shade which is just perfect for my collection. i love how 04 is great for base and highlight uses and the 11 - gold is to die for!! 24k gold anyone? haha! and 12 is a very nice bronzy shade great for all over the lid. best of all it does not crease at all! but make sure you screw it tight because it might crack or dry up. will do a post on the whole MUFE aqua cream i have :)

i manage to grab the nyx trio palette. when i saw this online i knew i have to grab it because its very xmas looking and i love how pigmented they are for a fraction of a price.

nyx blush in chocolate moose. it a very nice subtle contour shade for me and its matte which i loving into matte shade now. i think they photograph very well and does not reflect light as much. very pigmented and smooth however they are abit chalky when i swatch but its ok for contour so it doesnt go too strong :)

BATH AND BODY WORKS!! damn they should open a store in singapore!! their product smell sooo nice!! (which by the way lush is opening in SINGAPORE! woohoo! cant wait to try their angel on bare skin :) )

especially the apple scent! yum!! its like apple concentrate goodness! and i really recommend the twilight wood. if you are into vanilla scent with shea butter that sort of smell. this is a MUST! MUST! - i MUST do a personal 1 to 1 review on those scent. each is very unique and now i know why there is always a haul on BnBw with the same product over and over again.. because its so nice you want to slather it everyday!

oh and the huge bottle of the PINK with zebra strip is actually victoria secret lotion which i pair with michelle. mine is would say is more into sweet and fresh toward flora scent. and i love the word - FRESH AND FIERCE haha! but the print is in plastic form so i was abit disappointed :(.

unfortunately me and kim twilight wood got abit of a problem - one arrive "emptied" the bottle wasnt screw properly so we gonna split it up and share what is left in another bottle- sharing is love!!

thanks for looking at my quick exam haul post :)

hi ladies,

i would like to say that getting the product is really hard for me, because it took longer then 1 week to reach me and the package got damage! :( Singapore postman is meanie!

Long story short, i manage to try out the product and i really like the range that they come out with.

Rating: 4/5

Reason: i like that it matches my shade so well that i cant see much of a difference, the coverage wise in my opinion i would say its light to medium coverage. Lasting wise about 4-5 hours depending on the weather. (Singapore weather is so unpredictable) i like how small the packaging is that i can bring it out on travel or touch up etc. One of the plus point is that it has UV/Pa++ properties which is very hard to find in BB cream with PA++ WITH afforable price ; $16.90 and would be cheaper if watson have 20% storewide :D . I believe that it is one of the afforable range of BB cream in drugstore singapore. It does not cake up which is great if building up layers but probably a thumbs down in oil control area.

i am almost finishing the bottle!

white cast if not blend in properly.

Rating: 3.5/5

Reason: i like the scent that is light green tea with a hint of jasmine i think. It promise what it mention and my skin can never felt so much better! i really like how my cheek is so smooth and doesnt break out at all! However, the down side is.. after consistently using it for 2 weeks, ONLY my forehead and chin broke out. sad right? maybe i should use finish it and apply just my cheek area? or maybe days where i need a little boost? :(((. I have Normal and combination skin, that is a reference for you. However if the product does work out for you, Great! Do not forget to blend in well and let it settle for 5 mins because it might leave a white cast on the face. RP: $16.90
