  1. EOTD gold then purple

    Jun 20, 2010

    Just a few EOTDs to share and perhaps get some helpful tips on what I should and should not do next time. I'm quite new on EOTDs, but I love colours and love to mix things up from different palettes and not just stick to one. A really bad habit of mine is: lay out all the e/s colours and then pick and choose! Not very safe eh cause' colours might clash lol


    I got this lovely Shu Uemura palette from Fatin @ Chocolatecatsz and it is really beautiful! So is she ^_*
    This palette comes with 3 e/s (gold bronze, burgundy, baby blue) and a natural beige can be either for face contour (I usually mix this with a sparkly blusher so that it is less sparkly). I <3 the gold bronze and use it many many times now.





    OK, for my next EOTD I'll be using the lovely purplish Coffret D'or (again hehe).
    Face: L'egere BB Cream (I think it's spf 27 - read it on internet)
    Eye base/primer: Lunasol
    Mascara: Maybelline Magnum Volume
    Lip: Stila Lip Gloss 
    Eyeliner: BeneFit BadGal
    Blush: FrontCover
    I love the flat head PopBeauty e/s brush



    I tried to do a successful swatch with this palette, but I don't know how the light plum colour does not show up that obvious in my swatch. I really like this plum colour, although you may not see it that clear here (as I got a lousy phone camera >.<) but it is like a combination of purple and pink!





    I have really weird eye shape as I can't seem to connect my eyeliner at the far end corner.If I draw them connected, I kinda have droopy eyes. So I am at wits end what to do! So normally I just leave it out, not connecting my eyeliner, so there is always a gap there.

    Hope you like my photos, I love creating these as I just bought plentyful of digital scrap booking images, and using the free Microsoft Publisher is awesome! I have created a few calendar desktop wallpapers, if any of you want it, leave your email or contact me and I'll forward them to you ^^

  2. More presents for Elle! I have a lovely package from my sis (she knows I adore bows!) and I got an eyebrow voucher at Benefit counter! Also Benefit BAD gal liner waterproof pencil eyeliner and some samples!


    I've used this a few days now and it hardly smudge, it's fantastic for waterline lashes especially on my bottom eye. I can create a very clean dramatic eyes with this. Opps I got to go sharpen it now!


    My dad loves his starbucks mug and he made me a member, too! Now I get $2 off for my coffee everytime at starbucks, thanks dad! My mum got me some earrings, phone charms and a heart brooch. Thanks mum! (oh yeah I did some swatch of the Benefit eyeliner on my hands earlier hehe)



    Alright, I tried to do a pink and grey combination here, I lurve both colours and saw it somewhere that this is do-able and can be beautiful, but of coz done expertly by a professional! I did my best as an enthusiast hehe and here is what I used for my  eyes:


    I used Lunasol Eye Base as eye primer, follow by a dash of Kanebo T'estimo silver glitters, then follow by the famous Jill Stuart jelly  pink e/s on the entire eyelids. Then with my e.l.f e/s brush, I used the pink from Shu Uemura palette on the inner eyes, and a darker pink from the Pop Beauty Day-to-Night palette. For the outer corner of my eyes, I used the grey from  Pop Beauty.
    Then of coz my new Benefit eyeliner pencil, and a line of gold shimmer from the Shu Uemura with my flat head brush (lurves this brush!) on top of the black eyeliner. Lastly, Kate mascara for upper eyelashes and Dejavu Fiberwig for lower and corner lashes. Phew..here is what my eyes look like ('cuse the bad camera >.<):

    I really like how the grey kinda make a contour for my eyes, as I am nil on eye socket haha Well, this is incomparable with the gals out there doing fantastic EOTDs (don't every stop, as I get inspiration from you gals!) I rather learn from bloggers than models because I think it's more real and I can relate to it better than looking at magazines of models.

    Next post: Giveaway is 1kg as Elle added more goodies!



    With Love, Elle



    1. Vichy anti-imperfection concentrate: Staple! Greenish cream. Does a great job at drying the acne fast and prevention of it from coming back! It does not sting like the Clinique Acne Solution Spot Healing Gel!
    2. Dalacin-T (topical): My mum got me this when I told her I got lots of small bumpy acne. She heard it from the chemist. The bottle is small, and to apply it, just daps around the face. It has a medicated alcohol smell. It doesn't sting.
    3. Kanebo Freshel White C Toner: I did not use much toner last time. But I am now a believer of the 3 main steps. This Kanebo Freshel toner I just started so there is yet to see any results of it. It comes in a big bottle. I also used before Estee Lauder Sparkling Clean Mattifying Oil Control Lotion green bottle (with a muddy grey layer floating above the toner). It's alright.
    4. Kanebo Freshel White C Milk Moisturiser: I am a believer of the right moisturiser. Previously, due to bad skin (whatever I put on the face, it produces more oil), I uses L'occitane Shea & Cotton Extra Gentle Moisturiser (HG)! After 1 year of using it, my face does not produce much oil after that and it toughen up my skin. So now, I am less sensitive to products and I can try using other moisturiser.
    5. Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Moisturizer SPF 30 (Non-Sensitive Formula) Sunscreen: I've been using this for ages now, but I do want to change it. It does make my face abit more oily/shiny after putting it. I read it is best to put on sunscreen in the dark (from some blogs), so I will off the lights and apply it behind the curtains. LoL
    6. Lancome Pure Focus T-Zone Matifier: Gel base turn velvety powdery. I uses only a pea size of it around my t-zone, temples, chin and cheeks.
    7. L'occitane Red/Riz Rice Ultra Matte Face Moisturiser: Just purchased this, but found out it does not do a good job in moisturising the face but good as a matifier. So I use just a pea size of it after my Kanebo Freshel moisturiser on my oily spots. I alternate this with the Lancome Pure Focus T-Zone Matifier (no I don't use it together! it will be too many products on my face then).
    8. Kose Beaute de Kose Ultimation AX Lifting Moisturiser: Oooh this is a splurge for me because it is expensive! I put it on alternate nights, to save it from finishing so soon. Love the smell, heavenly orangy tangy. I massage my face upwards as it is a firming lotion, from neck all the way up to the forehead. Then lastly, use both hand palms pressed into the face (was advise by beautician when using a firming lotion).
    9. Lather Lip Conditioning Balm: This is a great lip balm! It glides smoothly on the lips, with a citrus lime/orange taste (yum!) and it last about 2 hours before I have to reapply.
    10. BeneFit Dr Feel Good Balm Primer: Staple! I read alot of bad review about this but surprisingly it did me good! It can tend to be flaky but I reckon the sponge may be dirty or the skin was too dry (especially during winter time - I may skip the matifier if my face is dry). This balm does covers my visible pores, acne scars and tiny indentations on the face due to chicken pox scars >.< I also uses a synthetic foundation long brush to use this, instead of the sponge. This way I do not get too much of the balm on my face.
    What I miss out in this photo:
    1. Juju Aquamoist Essense: Staple! Introduced by my lovely sis. It acts as a barrier to maintain moisture on the face/prevent moisture loss from the face. It works! As my skin have more moisture, my skin kinda produced less oil. Just finished this, so waiting for my Sasa haul.
    2. Kose Moisture Skin Repair with Rice Power Extract: Staple! Lots of review said it is similar to SKII essense but half the price. I love this and also waiting for Sasa haul.
    3. Origins What A Perfect World Guardian: Staple! Tried my first bottle and love the velvety feeling on it. This serum is really nice on my face (maybe it's winter time?). I'm a sucker on Origins products because they have marvelous names. Will try the Youthopia range next time!
    4. Kiehls Dermabrasion & Salve: Just bought, was advise by SA this could even out my face texture, as I got some dents on the face due to old scars. It's not that noticeable as it is not reddish, just skin colour, but it's still a dent. Have never try any dermacrasion before so I'm gathering my courage to start using this!
    5. L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream: My sis staple, she uses it and it heals her old scar, even out the skin texture. I have not been very consistent in using this, so I can't say it's good for me yet.
    What my skin cannot tolerate: Nivea moisturisers (I get pimples the very next day!), Neutrogena cleansers (too drying, cause my face to be flaky urgh)

    Next, I will show my makeuup desk!
