Christmas! | Blogmas Day 25.

As you can probably tell… I failed in blogmas. Oh well, I should’ve known better and pre-written some posts to put up when I was too busy in camp!

At least now I know, I’ll try to do better next year!

It’s pretty freaky to think how 2014 is coming so soon. I’m not ready yet.

Next year will be pretty pressurizing and I choose not to think about it.

Christmas for me this year has been fun. I managed to spend the first few moments of Christmas with my friends who are growing closer and closer day by day.

Christmas lunch with the family was pretty good! Though I’ve noticed how we’re all grown up. No more excitement over presents, everyone was asleep at one point and too caught up in their phones.

We had quite a spread, not as fancy as when my aunt was here, though.

Quite a pity that I had too much chocolates and sweets before lunch, I could barely finish my plate of food.

Some snippets of my day :

cupcakes

(Those cupcakes were amazing. They’re from http://www.plainvanillabakery.com )

food

How could we not have turkey.

chocolate

A Christmas present!

Here’s to the end of blogmas and me trying to keep up with the dates though they’re gone.

My Christmas Makeup. | Blogmas Day 19.

Christmas is the time to doll up, because I don’t normally do that everyday. So here are some products I’ll be using to achieve my own glam look!

christmas makeup

To achieve a flawless canvas, I’ll be using CoverGirl’s Clean Liquid Makeup for Sensitive Skin in Buff Beige. This happened to be the only foundation from CoverGirl that has managed to match my skin tone.

I will be mixing e.l.f’s radiance enhancer in Sunrise together with my foundation to give me a bronze sheen and glow.

I’ll do my normal filling in of brows with Maybelline Define-A-Brow.

I’ll use my e.l.f Little Black Beauty Book with a copper shade in the crease, along with a light mahogany to blend it out. The e.l.f jumbo eyeshadow stick in French Lace will be the base.

Of course, not forgetting to prime my lids with Urban Decay’s Primer Potion.

I’ll be lining my eyes with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Liner in Rockstar. The purple shade makes me feel glamorous.

I will be enhancing my jaw line with e.l.f Studio Contour Blush and Bronzer before putting on Nars’ Orgasm Blush on my cheekbones.

Last but not least, I’ll be applying Urban Decay’s Lip Stain in Greedy which is a deep berry color. This will seal the Christmas feel and help me feel pretty!

Christmas is tomorrow, I can’t wait!

Christmas Wishlist | Blogmas Day 14.

It’s never too late to hope for someone to give you a specific present for Christmas!

Here are some of my ultimate wants.

(But do remember it’s a want, not need. We should help the less fortunate this season and any season.)

Beauty. 

riri hearts mac

The whole RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday collection.

urban decay naked 3

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.

I adore the colors there, but I’m currently saving for my trip next year, maybe then, in the airport would I buy it.

Urban Decay, please hook me up with one if you can!

nars tinted moisturizer

Nars tinted moisturizer.

I’ve always wanted one of these, just because I feel that foundation is too thick for me (currently) and all the tinted moisturizers I have don’t work.

ysl glossy stain

Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain. 

Absolutely obsessed with this, however I can’t afford it because I’m jobless and with the allowance I have as a student, it’s pretty unrealistic.

Really hope to get it at the airport soon!

dior lip glow

Dior Addict Lip Glow. 

This has to be something I’ve been yearning for, for the longest time.

ysl touche éclat

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. 

Beautiful product, I wanted it ever since I heard Fleur talk about it. It seems so luxurious and precious!

FASHION. 

glamor kills

Glamor Kills – WIld Hearts Denim Vest.

tay bomber jacket

Glamor Kills – Tay Bomber Jacket. 

I want everything on Glamor Kills. However shipping would be far too expensive and isn’t worth it. Maybe when I’m in The States I’ll buy it!

vans

Vans – Textile Atwood. 

The prettiest color combination ever. Mint and black.

classic q isabelle

Marc by Marc Jacobs – Classic Q Isabelle.

I’ve been searching for a bag for a pretty long time. Something that can be used to hold all the useless items that I like to bring around.

It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, I just want a cute bag that suits me because the current bag that I use everyday is the big Crumpler sling bag.

Alright, that’s all I have for today. Hope you’ve enjoyed the post and maybe gave you some ideas for what you might ask someone to get for you.

Christmas Haul! |Blogmas Day 11.

This wasn’t exactly for Christmas, but the items arrived yesterday so I thought I’d do a collective Christmas haul! It’s in December anyway – and I’ll include some mini reviews!

There are quite a few items, so it would be a pretty long post… Grab a hot chocolate, sit back and enjoy reading!

I’ll try to include as many pictures as possible so it won’t be as boring.

*

BEAUTY TOOLS. 

christmas haul

covergirl eyelash curler

CoverGirl Make-up Masters Lash Curler.

A lash curler’s a lash curler, and as long as it does its job, I’m fine with it! This works better when I curl it like how Estee (essiebutton) does. Watch her Face-Of-The-Day videos and you’ll see what I mean!

Decent product, no complains.

Available here.

too faced flatbuki

Too Faced Flatbuki Brush.

I  love how soft this brush is, it feels amazing against my skin. The thinness of it allows easily contouring and the broader part is great for blush / highlight on the cheekbones.

However the handle’s a little too short for my liking.

Available here.

elf powder brush

e.l.f studio powder brush.

Really dense and soft as well, the studio collection has to be the best out of all the brushes they sell.

I really like to use this to set my foundation (when I use it) as I feel that it presses the powder into my skin and locks the foundation / concealer in place.

My favorite brush out of all the ones I have!

Available here.

elf complexion brush

e.l.f Studio Complexion Brush. 

More of a domed shape, I feel that it’s great for blush application as it picks the right amount of product and sweeps it nicely across my cheeks.

Perfect for blending those harsh lines away!

Available here.

elf angled brush

e.l.f studio small angled brush.

I got this in the hopes of finally being able to use my e.l.f cream eyeliner, but I just found out how horrible it was so this brush is slightly redundant.

However I read that I could use it to apply lip color as well / do my brows, so I’m going to try that!

Available here.

elf contour brush

e.l.f studio contour brush. 

This picks up quite a lot of color and that’s great for me! Perfect for blending the colors together on the lids.

Available here.

*

EYE MAKEUP. 

eye makeup

l'oreal butterfly mascara

L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara.

I have yet to try this out, as you can most probably tell.

I’m trying to finish my other mascaras yet, perhaps keep this till next year?

Not exactly the best, but I still have mascaras to use.

Available here.

avon mega effects mascara

Avon Mega Effects Mascara.

I saw Emily (emilynoel83 on YouTube) talking about it and I wanted to get one because of the funny paint brush, brush.

avon mascara

To be honest, I poked my eye while trying it out. I was slightly too excited and worried at the same time, my hand shook and I blinked.

Alleluia I still can see!

avon mascara

You need to pull the handle and wiggle it all about to open it.

I don’t particularly think that there’s a “mega effect” after applying it, but it is better than the average ones out there.

For a washable mascara, it left black marks under my eyes after washing my face, so I don’t use it as often.

Available here.

urban decay

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil.

I got it in the Glinda palette and I’m loving it. Currently a staple in my everyday makeup, or should I say, my everyday routine.

I use it each time I go out, that just proves how amazing it is.

urban decay

I got it in the shade Rockstar and though it’s purple, I have to say that it’s pretty natural! Doesn’t smudge even though it has been on for about 7 hours and removes immediately when I use my face wash.

My collection of these eyeliners will not stop here!

One sad part is that I have to sharpen the pencil, I never liked to do that.

Available here.

elf kohl eyeliner

e.l.f Studio Kohl Eyeliner.

Decent product, pretty pigmented! I think you should make it slightly blunt before using it. It’s pretty sharp when you receive it and it’s pretty painful…

elf studio kohl eyeliner

I love that it comes with a sharpener and a smudger, makes life easier.

I feel that the smudger can be used to create a more natural look / a smokey eye!

Not as frequently used as my Urban Decay liner, but I’ll still give it credits!

Available here.

lancome eyeshadow

Lancome Color Design Eyeshadow Palette in Honeymoon.

This is a travel sized one which I got off eBay, and honestly I’m pretty happy to have bought it.

Amazing pigmentation and I love the neutral shades!

lancome eyeshadow

I think that the pink shade can help give a playful and flirty look, which is cool!

The shades are suitable for an everyday use and I’m really liking it. My favorite eyeshadow quad.

Available here.

lancome eyeshadow

Some not so amazing swatches.

urban decay primer potion too faced shadow insurance

Urban Decay Primer Potion. (Left)

Too Faced Shadow Insurance. (Blue)

Like the lash curlers, I have no preference. They’re primers and if they can do the job, then that’s great, I’m keeping it! It made my lids feel really silky and smooth, enjoying it!

Available here. (Urban Decay)

Available here. (Too Faced)

elf eyeshadow

e.l.f Essential Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick.

This is in French Lace, and I like to say that it’s pretty close to Stila’s Kitten eyeshadow.

This is really creamy and the stick form makes it rather easy for application. It can be used to brighten up the inner corners of the eye / as a wash of color across the lids to perk yourself up.

At $2 only? Y-E-S

Available here.

benefit bright eyes

Benefit Peek-A-Bright Eyes

I have mixed feelings about this. Benefit Cosmetics is one of my favorite brands, ever, and this has not exactly lived up to what I wanted.

Maybe it’s just me, I’d like to think that.

benefit peek a bright eyes

The yellow shade + the brown one makes it seem like I have mud on my eyes…

The pink shade though, excellent for lifting your brows and used as a highlight for the browbone, including the inner corners.

However, on the extreme left, is an eye brightener and as the name suggests, brighten the eyes.

Love the brushes & everything, just not how the colors come together. I will find a way to make it work though.

Available here.

l'oreal eyeshadow

L’Oreal Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Quad in Subtle Berries.

I was so excited when I saw this, the colors are the ultimate neutral and I had so high expectations of it.

But.

When I swatch it, it looks fine, but when I apply it on my lids, somehow they just didn’t work out!

l'oreal eyeshadow

I want to try and make this work though, the colors are so gorgeous.

Available here.

wet n wild

Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Walking On Eggshells.

This arrived yesterday, so I have yet to have the chance to try it out yet.

But the hype is real! Really pigmented and natural, I can’t wait to use it.

wet n wild

Here’s some awful swatches.

Madly in love with the eyelid shade!

Available here.

LIPPIES.

lip makeup

stila lipglazes

Stila Lipglaze.

I got this in their Color Me Glossy Lip Glaze Set.

It’s also the first Stila item I own, I know.

I love the scents of these and gives the perfect amount of pigmentation when I apply it on my lips. It does feel sticky, I have to say, but it doesn’t stick my hair for some reason!

Can’t wait to use the rest!

Available here.

coral lustre

Maybelline Lipstick in 840 Coral Lustre.

This comes off pretty sheer so it’s pretty good because I don’t want too orange lips. It goes on quite smooth as well!

It can be too sheer for some of you though!

Honestly, no compliments and no negative comments.

maybelline coral lustre

Available here.

urban decay

Urban Decay Super-Saturated Lip Color in Glinda. 

I got this in the Urban Decay Glinda palette (pretty obvious) along with the 24/7 eyeliner.

I love how nude this is and I feel super natural with this on. There’s a fair share of glossiness that gives a pretty sheen.

I felt so sad about how it has to be sharpened, I accidentally made a big dent at the base while trying to see if I had to sharpen it.

urban decay glinda

Available here. (I think Naked is the closest to this color!)

l'oreal color riche

L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Royal Red and Compelling Coral. 

It’s really interesting to have 2 “rings” in the lipstick. Apparently it has Anti-Aging Serum in it and it’ll fill surface lines and create fuller looking lips.

Really creamy, I have to say.

l'oreal lipstick royal red

I love this red, it is a pretty deep red that has amazing pigmentation!

It’s a full cover, and I feel that it comes off as a more “classy” version of the famous Taylor Swift’s red lips.

Available here.

l'oreal lipstick compelling coral

I don’t really feel that it’s a coral color, it’s more of a mix between a dusty pink and coral.

This gives a really natural effect on the lips and is the “my lips but better” look.

Really creamy as well, I think some can get away without applying a layer of lip balm before this.

I can see myself using this pretty often!

Available here.

l'oreal lipstick

revlon lip butter

Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie. 

Like my lip butter in Berry Smoothie, I’m loving this as well. It has to be one of my most used lip product!

I like to apply a layer of lip balm to soften my lips and smooth them out before dotting this all over and sheering it out. That gives an amazingly natural look which makes you seem like you have really nice pink lips.

Got that tip from Tanya Burr!

revlon lip butter

I was so upset when I first received it because it was too bright for me and it wasn’t as smooth as my first lip butter.

But after learning what Tanya did to hers, I’m obsessed.

revlon lip butter

Available here.

mac viva glam

MAC Viva Glam Nicki.

I’m a huge fan of Nicki Minaj, so I have to say that this was an impulse buy.

The color’s too pink and vibrant for me, but when used with a lip brush and sheered out, it can be used for an everyday look!

mac viva glam

Mine looks a little messed up because it melted. (sad face)

*

FACE MAKEUP.

face makeup

elf contour and blush

e.l.f Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzer in St Lucia. 

I love this so much! The bronzer’s perfect for my skin tone and it’s pretty pigmented as well.

I use it to define my jaw line more than enhance my cheekbones just because I’ve yet to master the skill of contouring the cheeks.

elf contour and blush

People like to say that this is a knockoff of the Nars Orgasm & Laguna duo and I have to agree! Though the color payoff isn’t that close, it still is and I’m gonna give them credit for it!

Available here.

naked flushed

Urban Decay Naked Flushed.

If you read my blog a lot, you should know that I dropped this baby and it broke. Read all about it here!

After using alcohol to press them together, the color payoff died. Nothing gets on my brush when I tap it in and it’s pretty saddening.

urban decay naked flushed

Until I figure out what to do with the broken pieces and how to get it working again, it’ll be sitting at the bottom of my makeup stash.

The bronzer can be really pretty but might be too orange for some and the highlight might make you seem shiny instead.

Available here.

blush

Powder Blush. 

I’m sorry, I’m not too sure about the brand because I got it from Daiso!

I thought that the colors were really pretty and when they were swirled together, wasn’t too bad!

blush swatch

20131211-182650.jpg

It was pretty cheap too, win!

smashbox

Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder.

I got this in a lot that I bought from eBay and honestly, I have no opinions about this.

smashbox pressed powder

A powder’s a powder, and if it does its job, great!

Available here.

elf studio blush

e.l.f Studio Baked Blush in Pinktastic. 

This shouldn’t be a blush, honestly. There’s way too much shimmer, so be careful because it might make you seem oily!

elf studio blush

It looks really gorgeous though!

For the browbone, inner corners of your eye and the top of your cheekbones.

Available here.

elf studio

e.l.f Studio Radiance Enhancer in Sunrise. 

I got this in the hopes of using it as a bronzer / a highlight for the face. But the real color’s a little too dark for highlight so I’ll see how I’m going to use it!

elf radiance enhancer

I love the pen form of makeup. It feels so professional cool!

elf studio

Available here.

elf shimmering whip

e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip in Pink Lemonade.

I wanted a cream blush that would suit my skin tone and I thought that this would work.

Well, no.

When I started to blend it, it became nothing. Imagine how disappointing it was.

elf whip

I’ll try to figure out a way to use this. It looks too cute to chuck it aside.

Available here.

nars orgasm

Nars Powder Blush in Orgasm. 

I’ve finally bought it! The ever raved blush, and the hype is real. The pigmentation and color are both amazing.

nars orgasm

It gives me a very natural healthy glow that I feel, makes me look fresh and pleasing. I think I might do a whole review about this!

nars orgasm swatch

Available here.

RANDOM ITEMS. 

random

Here are some extra stuff that I’ve gotten but don’t have a group to go to so they’re in here!

Rimmel 60 Second Nail in Mintilicious.Here.

The color’s very turquoisey blue and I’m loving it! One sad part is how stressed I feel to have to paint my nails fast before they dry.

Not Your Mother’s Sea Salt Spray.Here.

I was really hoping for beachy waves, but all I got was dry hair. Maybe I did something wrong, I’ll try it again and I’ll tell you!

eos Holiday edition. 

I love how the cherry blossom hand cream smells like.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil. Here.

This makes my brows really natural and I’m super grateful because my brows are being wacky and I can finally fill them in without looking like I have caterpillars on my face.

Smashbox rollerball perfume in Heartbreaker. 

Love, love, love the scent!

Burberry rollerball perfume in Brit. 

Very classy and elegant.

Alright, that’s all I have for today! Hope you’ve enjoyed it and stay tuned for more!

Sweater Weather Tag! | Blogmas Day 10.

I can’t exactly think of anything to write that’s related to Christmas (I’m horrible at DIY) and thus I’ve decided to do the Sweater Weather Tag, it’s the closest thing related to Christmas!

Sit back and read on!

pacsun

(My favorite sweater. or cardigan.)

1) Favorite candle scent?

Anything sweet and vanilla-y! I’ve never actually tried any Bath & Body Works candle, or even a Yankee one. I just can’t seem at ease to spend a whole lot of money on a candle when I can buy perfumes. Sorry all you fans out there!

But I can tell you, I absolutely hate lavender and lemongrass scents.

Here are some of the ones I’d take if it were a present.

french-vanilla-candle-tin

VanillaCupcake

2) Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

Oooh, this is hard! I’m a major coffee addict and a hot chocolate junkie. Let me choose both. I’ll take coffee when I’m tired and a hot chocolate when it’s the time of the month.

Whipped cream, marshmallows, all the toppings please!

hot chocolate

hot-chocolate

3) What’s the best fall memory you have?

About that, I’ll tell you my answer next year when I make my way to either USA / UK during fall. I live in a country without 4 seasons, so I can’t exactly tell you what fall memories I have.

4) Which makeup trend do you prefer : winged eyeliner or dark lips?

I think winged eyeliner can be overdone by many girls, so I’ll go for dark lips. It can really amp up an outfit, give a really great edgy vibe.

But of course, you need to have the appropriate makeup for a dark lip, we don’t want too much going on around your face.

katy perry dark lip

(Katy is gorgeous, I really want to be like her.)

dark lips

5) What do you want to be for Halloween?

Halloween’s over, oops! But I would love to be a demented doll.

6) Hats or scarves?

Scarves! No particular reason, I just think that scarves can complement many outfits and make you look classier.

7) Most worn jumper?

Just a normal grey one.

8) Favorite fall nail polish? 

I can’t find the name of the nail polish, but it’s from Kiko cosmetics. It looks a little like this.

kiko nail polish

or

kiko nail polish

Really pretty!

9) Skinny jeans or leggings? 

I have pretty chunky legs so both don’t quite work in my favor? But I’d go for skinny jeans because leggings wrap too tightly around my legs and enhance everything unpleasant.

10) Boots or uggs?

Boots any day because I can use it no matter what temperature. Uggs are way too hot.

My favorite pair is from Hogan, I don’t think they carry it anymore though. It’s from the men’s section, just for your information.

Alright! That’s all for the tag, stay tuned for Blogmas Day 11!

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish.

I feel that face exfoliators should be a staple in everyone’s bathroom.

Sometimes, there are days in which your face would feel gunky and bumpy, and it feels really unsettling while you’re cleansing your face.

So a face exfoliator will come into action and smooth out everything, making your face feel smooth and soft!

Also, Laura Mercier is an amazing brand.

However, the prices of makeup here in Singapore is mad crazy!

CLOTHING. 

tay bomber jacket

Tay Bomber Jacket. 

I admit, this is just something I want.

But I think it’d be pretty cute for those teenage girls who are on the rocker side.

This can also give a boy-ish feel to a girly outfit!

Particularly useful for the winter season as well!

Available here.

kate spade

Kate Spade Cobble Hill Little Murphy.

This feels like the universal bag. Anyone would look good with it!

Stocking Stuffers! | Blogmas Day 3.

[If you’re wondering where Day 2 is, I’m still getting pictures for it, so patience!]

It’s December, so obviously everyone would start thinking about Christmas and what presents to get for everyone.

If you want some tips or an easy way out, carry on reading this post!

stocking stuffers

Crabtree & Evelyn Holiday Hand Care Set of 3. 

At 25g each, it’ll be a great stuffer as they’re small and you get to stuff 3 stockings with just ONE product!

Downside, they aren’t in the permanent line so if anyone loves it and wants to get it, better do so before the holidays end!

Available here.

stila lip glaze set

Stila Color Me Glossy Lip Glaze Set. 

These come in a pack of 3, which in turns come in another pack of 3!

At the back of the label of the mini packs, written on it is a “to: ____” and “from: ___” which is great!

If you’re feeling a little less generous, you can always open the pack up, take 1 lip glaze and put a ribbon on it, there you have it!

Who can pass on a Stila lip glaze? No one.

Available here.

ciate tree trinkets

Ciate Tree Trinkets.

How cute are those mini nail polishes? They might seem more like Christmas tree decorations, but it’ll be cute to find one of these in a stocking!

Plus, they come in a set of 6. That means you get to have 6 stuffers in just one box.

The ball casing also provides the receiver with a chance to express their creativity and use it for next year’s Christmas!

Available here.

sephora lollipop lipgloss

Sephora Lollipop Lipgloss.

This is more of aesthetic purposes.

A little lollipop with the bling and glitz, it’ll be rather interesting to find it in a stocking!

Available here. 

coffee bean mug

Joy To The World Ceramic Mug.

How cute is this mug?

It’ll be great for anyone! Especially those tea / coffee addicts. Great for hot cocoa during the winter time!

Available here.

bacon bandaids

Bacon Bandages. 

I know, this is nothing “festive” and absolutely unrelated to Christmas, but I thought this was pretty quirky and cute!

Everyone (almost) loves bacon and it’ll be so funny to have a bacon wrapped around your finger!

I think it’ll be especially appreciated by the younger kids.

Available here.

ikea gift card

Ikea Gift Card.

Honestly, I love the Ikea food centre. Meatballs and salmon and all those good stuff always leave me wanting more!

Also, there are so many cute items in there that I’d love to buy, so I thought this would be amazing for the recipient to receive as it’ll be really useful!

Available here.

lush chocolate lip balm

Lush Chocolate Whipstick Lip Balm. 

This would be amazing for all chocolate lovers!

It comes in a cute packaging as well, I feel like all the Lush lip balms are great as stuffers.

Their lip scrubs are amazing as well!

Available here.

starbucks tumbler

Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler.

Who can pass up on a green tumbler?

I’m not sure how this works, but when you bring a Starbucks tumbler to a Starbucks outlet, you get something in return with your order.

  I personally think that it’d be a pleasant surprise to receive this – especially for those Starbucks lovers!

Available here.

Nigellissima

Nigellissima.

For those mother’s or aspiring MasterChef’s (even juniors!), I think that this recipe book would be amazing for them.

With sooooo many recipes in there, it’d be a dream for those who absolutely love cooking.

(You can get them to cook for you too!)

Available here.

Alright, so here’s just a few ideas on what to get as stocking stuffers!

Hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found it useful!

ONE. I’ll be doing a Blogmas throughout the month of December!

Yes, throughout!

They’ll most probably be about Christmas (duh) and a couple of personal things.

Stocking stuffers, presents, baking and everything else festive!

Christmas-Stocking

Christmas-Cookies

Christmas_presents

So join me on my Christmas adventure and follow this blog to be notified about my new posts!

TWO. I’ll be changing my blog layout soon, it looks pretty boring.

But I can’t seem to find a nice theme. Oh well.

LAST. I’ll be posting so much more now because it’s the holidays and a genius (me) managed to partially tear her ligament in her knee, so I’ll have so much time on hand to blog, blog and blog!

Stay tuned for more posts! In the mean time, follow my blog and follow me on twitter (@WhimsicalMess)
