Taking a break from all the crazy notes, so here i am with a (little more interesting) post!

Since i got a plastic box from Daiso the other time, i decided to make it my essential kit, sort of, and put in all the stuff that i reach out for all the time :D

The brushes aren't actually in the kit because i put them together with the rest of the brushes in my mac brush roll, but since i consider them to be my essentials im including them here as well! xD

Let me start with the brushes :D

My essential brushes are definitely the 187 and the 109 (: Since im always just putting on face stuff because i simply have no time to my eyes ):

187 brush:
I used to reach out for this to apply my edm blushes and all because you know how 187 picks up just enough color from loose blushes and all so i don't look like my cheeks are burnt or anything (: Love it for that! But recently since i started using liquid foundation, i've been using this to apply that and it does give an airbrushed look. Except that my skin is so dry that sometimes when i put on foundation it looks like its flaking :( help, anyone?

109 brush:
This brush is awesomeee, i really really like it! I use this for contouring, and sometimes blush, but this is so dense and it feels really soft. :D love it for contouring! Easy to place color below the cheek bone, as well as good to buff it out with. Yay (:

Next up, those INSIDE the box!

So started from the top,

Chanel primer and Mat Lumiere Liquid Foundation:
Did a review here previously (: so i don't have much to elaborate on, heh!

Anna Sui Eyelash Curler:
Got this quite awhile back! It's pretty, and it's pretty good i think, but then again i haven't tried other eyelash curlers? Haha :D Actually got this because the packaging and all is just damn pretty, i love Anna Sui stuff (:

MAC blush in Harmony:
My contour shade! (: Got this during the F&F sale back in june/july-ish, actually wanted Emote? But it's discontinued ): This works good though! I use this all the time! It's not too dark or anything. Would definitely consider repurchasing this, but it doesn't seem to be hitting pan anytime soon xD

Lipsticks:
I don't have many so i just throw them in there HAHA but i lovelovelovelove Madly Creative <3 and i'm actually scared i'll finish using it cause it's LE! ):

EDM Brushes:
I use the Kabuki to buff out blushes or anything, and i use the Flat Top to put on the prep+prime translucent finishing powder, and buff out everything else (: They're so crazily soft and feels super nice on the skin, like um pillow. or something. :D

MAC Studio Sculpt Concealor and Monistat Chafing Gel:
I use them together to prevent caking up of the concealor! The monistat chafing gel really helps to make the concealor glide on smoothly and all (: i like. Anyway i'm only left with the 5g jar for myself after selling all the samples, hahaha. Though i only have to use so little each time that i'm even wondering when i'll be able to finish using it. The Studio Sculpt concealor is creamy and i like it, just that somehow it doesn't seem to be concealing my dark circles completely, maybe just lightening it i guess?

ELF mascara:
Well i don't actually really use this, but i tried it and it's really awesome, doesnt clump and curls my lashes quite nicely (: Also slightly volumizes my lashes, i think i'll be using this after my exams! :D IMHO, i think this is better than the Majolica Majorca mascara that i used to have. Haha.

MAC Prep+Prime Translucent Finishing Powder:
I really really like this! It blurs out fine lines and all, and it definitely 'finishes' the look. I use this after my liquid foundation, so yeah (: I don't think this is a definite 'must-have', it's a really good-to-have product (:

Yay so that sums up my essential kit! (:

So i decided to start this tag:

TAG: What are the top 10 items that you girls reach out for, to form your essential kits?

I'm actually not reallyyy that into the dazzleglass but it's so damn pretty right!! I'll probably skip this.

THE LIPSTICK IS SERIOUSLY DAMN PRETTY <3 i like! Been totally eyeing it since i saw the collection BUT THEN since it's permanent i can probably skip on it for now, and get it another time. (:

The main point is the NARS blush in Outlaw!! Freaking pretty i really really want :( but i have orgasm/laguna duo on the way and um my mac palette etc, have been spending wayyyy too much :(

BUT Sephora is having the 20% off saleeeee. :( Which justifies me buying it now, because i know im totally still gonna be thinking abt this and then cave in some other time, so might as well get it now right? :D

Haiya, im debating with my conscience. :(

Should stop thinking already, will decide soon. Maybe i'll cave in, afterall. AHH.

(p.s. Dear Boyfriend, you did not see this, okay? (: )

Swapped!! :D

Hey guys! :D Checked out the new ION after school a few days back, and the obvious Must-Go Destination is Sephora! (who could ever miss this!)

Got some stuff xD xD YAY.

I'll start with the Too Faced Shadow Insurance! (:

I've been lemming for the Urban Decay Primer Potion, and i actually already decided to get it soon but then I SAW THIS! :D tried it on and put some tester eyeshadow over it and saw the huge difference o_o hahaha so i decided to get it! Did see some people's FOTD or sth who used this as well, so i thought it should be pretty good! :D it's retailed for S$28 in Sephora, and if i were to get UDPP it'd probably be slightly over 30 including shipping and stuff. so yeah. Got home and googled comparisons and actually realised that alot of people would much prefer this over UDPP, mainly because of the packaging. (this one is like a toothpaste tube, much easier to get out all the product as compared to UDPP) and they say that it works the same as UDPP, some say it goes on alot smoother than UDPP, etc etc. So i definitely wont be regretting this because i tried it and it's really good! :D:D

Next! 2 MAC lipsticks. haha they're my FIRST EVER EVER mac lipsticks!!! and i love the colors xD

Sweetie Lipstick (Lustre)

Swatched this at the counter and it looked rly pretty! (: like a very sweet pink and yeah! <3

Madly Creative Lipstick (LE) (frost)

This is from the Colorcraft collection! the bf chose this for me :D heh. He bought both lipsticks for me after i left to go home, and i told him i wanted him to choose one for me so he swatched a few and decided on this (with the help of the MA, but i'll pretend i dont know about it) xD LOVE THIS COLOR <3 it looks really damn pretty on the lips!! ahh. i'd say i prefer this over the sweetie lipstick, tbh. (:

YAY SWATCHES!

Without flash:

With flash:

Sorry for the lousy pics. I hate it how the camera ALWAYS destroys colors, swatches especially! ): pretty color take pictures already then not pretty anymore ): argh!

Hmm actually i went down to stage to check out the stuff since Sarah posted that there's the 20% off sale at stage cosmetics.. but i didnt get anything, heh. less money spent, yay!! go me! (:
(actually i wanted to get the lipsticks la, but then i decided that it would only satisfy me for awhile before i then crave for mac lipsticks again, so might as well just get the mac ones already right! i wasnt that into the stage ones in the first place..)

Have you guys gone down to ION yet? Gotten anything? :D

XOXO<3

Hey guys im back with another review! :D

As i said a couple of days back, i've got my MAC Lipglass in Dreamy from the F&F sale and its hereeee (:

Yay! I bought this after googling swatches online, and i was deciding between this or Nymphette. Decided to get this in the end! :D

Okay yeah here's some swatches:

without flash,

with flash:

Packaging: 4/5

Okay la, its pretty boring. AND i think it looks short. HAHA. Hmm im thinking if i should target the Dazzleglasses though, THEY'RE SO PRETTY AHH.

Product: 5/5

Color is a very sweet pink, goes on pretty sheer, but less so than my Tricolor Lipglasses. (: Love the color! It's really sweet. HEH yay. Also since i dont really like colors that go on too heavy on my lips, the sheerness is really good, and i feel that it plumps up my lips, kinda xD Okay yeah but then! its pretty sticky.. i mean i dont feel it on my lips and i dont mind that much, but i can feel it when i swatched it on my hand.. =/ hahah.

Price: 4/5

The price is okay! I mean duh, i got it from the F&F sale hahaha so i got it for like 18 or something about there. :D The usual price over the counter in Singapore is $28, and i'd love to get more colors, only if my wallet would allow it though.. but i doubt i'd be getting more, at least not anytime soon. (or maybe i'd try the dazzleglasses heheheheh)

Yup alright hope you guys enjoyed this! (:

So what is YOUR favourite lipglass/dazzleglass/lipstick? (:

Hello! A 2-days overdue tag post on What's In My Makeup Bag? (: Thanks HeavenlyGorgeous for tagging me!!

So hmm, this is whats in my bag, that i bring along everytime i go out just in case i need a touchup or anything!

Items (:

1. Majolica Majorca Jeweling Pencil.
Actually i dont use this much hahaha i just leave it in anyway xD its a shimmery pink pencil though (: stays on really long!

2. benefit Boi-ing concealor.
My only concealor, and i really like it! Looks natural and blends with my skin tone, so yeah its a must!

3. Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil (eyeliner) in Metallic Blue.
LOVEEEEE THIS. Love the color, and it glides on pretty easily! I work better with this than the fluidline, find the fluidline abit scary to work with since im a beginner (:

4. The Body Shop Lipgloss.
I think this is limited edition, because it only appeared for awhile and then disappeared and i never saw it since. It's a shimmery peachy pink color and it smells reallyyyyy sweet and fruity. One of my favourites because i like the smell and plus it looks nice :D and it doesnt taste funny like some lipglosses.

5. Dodo Club Marshmallow Eye in #2 Pink Mania.
This is cool stuff! My first ever eyeshadow and its like this pink creamy eyeshadow, goes on smooth and nice. Heh though i dont really use it.. but yeah its always with me! HAHA.

6. MAC Tricolor Lipglass in Just Dessert.
Smells like vanilla, doesnt taste funny or anything. Goes on reallyyyyyy sheer and in my opinion it isnt too sticky or anything, so yeah. Use it pretty often lately!

7. Sephora Retractable Powder Brush #51
Dense and small enough to carry around, super convenient because its retractable and easy to keep :D The rest of my brushes arent like travel sized or meant to bring out everyday i suppose. Use this for touchups (:

8.MAC Lightful
My foundation powder, JUST IN CASE, you never know (: but then sometimes i switch this around with the Studio Fix, so sometimes i bring this sometimes i bring that, depending on my mood. Just that today Lightful happened to be in my bag, so yeah!

(:

NOW I TAG:

- partialtopink
- roseannetangrs
- forensia
- whoever who has read till the end of this post and still hasnt done it yet! :D

Hey guys, have moved from http://x-beanie.livejournal.com since i find it more convenient here! So many people are using onsugar to blog about make up and stuff and i dont see why i should be stuck in livejournal since its easier to communicate here, and subscribe to their channels and stuff. yay! so from now on i guess i'll be blogging here on all my lemmings and stuff xD

Okay, yay! So to start off, ive actually gotten myself more stuff lately and here are all of them! (yes i know thats alot of MSFs to get at one go but i reallyyyyy love them because they look super pretty! :D

Clockwise from top left:

Shooting Star, Petticoat, Gold Spill, Triple Fusion, 2 NYX lipsticks in Circe and Heredes (these were freebies), Boi-ing Concealor from Benefit, MAC Lightful Ultracharge Pressed Powder Foundation Refill.

Am reallyyyyy happy with all the things i got! :D Petticoat, Gold Spill and Shooting Star were actually gotten from online sellers who didnt want them anymore.. and anyway they're LE and not in stores anymore i decided to get them! :D yay.

Got Triple Fusion and Lightful Foundation from the MAC counter at Takashimaya today! i actually usually use Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NW25, but the MA at Taka suggested me using NC35 for this instead, so i decided to try it out (: i think lightful's shades are lighter than the studio fix one.. ahaha. its pretty expensive though, its $60 for the refill. wanted to get the casing as well but they didnt have stock for it, so i guess i have to wait, or get down to DFS or Lido to get it tmr! :D YAY. hahaha.

Anyway, i wanted to get Porcelain Pink MSF / Smooth Merge instead at first, but the MA recommended Triple Fusion for my skin tone, so i got it instead! (since im so indecisive and i had the urge to buy everything on their shelves... i hope im not the only one feeling this! HEH) so yeah.

i got boi-ing concealor from a Benefit spree on livejournal awhile ago, but i just got it! i tried it, and its pretty good. lucky i got the right shade as well! :D double yay! anyway i got it from the spree cuz it was SO much cheaper compared to getting it at Sephora. Sephora's damn expensive.. ): gah. Whatever. I still shop there anyway. xD

Yeahhhhh. I hope i do get some readers to start off with, at least i know im not writing this for nobody to read... ):

Anyone wants swatches or anything you want me to do a review on, or any questions, do let me know by commenting or something! will fix a tagboard soon, when i decide im not too lazy to! hahaha.

with love<3
