My recent #ootd’s!

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, (which you probably should – @Snickeriggles pssst) you wouldn’t have seen the few outfits that I’ve created and put together.

No one ever reads the long captions below the photos, so I figured I’d give an explanation / idea to all of you!

Let’s call this… Classy Queen. 

Cut-out crop top : Close enough!

Maxi Skirt : Here.

Shoes : Here.

Bag : Here.

Bracelets : Here.

Necklace : Here.

Perfume : Here.

Lipstick : Styletto.

Phew, I didn’t see where I saved the pictures from so I had such a hard time finding each link.

Anyways, this was inspired by rockstar / elegant ladies that I’ve seen, that has some grungy vibe to it.

With a simple top + bottom, go all out with the accessories. Get your bling blings and layer on either bracelets or necklaces. A thick necklace would do particularly well with a plain top, as it’ll instantly glam up the simple shirt.

I honestly can’t remember where half the items on here came from.

Tribal bralet + baggy pants + Lady Gaga’s perfume + studded clutch + Essie nail polish + stack rings + cat eye shades + Jeffrey Campbell shoes.

It’s a very rocker / punk feel that’s for the swagger jagger.

A short and “showy” top would balance well with a fully covered pants that’s baggy. It’ll balance the promiscuity of the overall look.

Gold will instantly funk-ify the outfit and give a slight classy vibe.

The current trend! Kimono cardigans.

I personally feel that a plain crop top / normal top and a pair of plain denim shorts will go well with the kimono cardigan as it’s usually colored and patterned, so the simplicity of the top and bottom would balance out the whirl on the cardigan.

The plain messenger bag is structured and would balance how flowy the cardigan is.

Putting all these outfits together makes me realise how pathetic my wardrobe is.

I swear, it’s time for a wardrobe revamp. I’ll take out the clothes I won’t wear and probably donate them to the Salvation Army.

Alright, hope you’ve enjoyed this post and stay tuned for my next post!

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 :

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

How could we not have turkey.

A Christmas present!

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

Current favorites. | Blogmas Day 16.

I really ran out of brain juice and I can’t think of anything to post. So here’s something small and I’m gonna tell you what my current favorites are!

Or maybe, Christmas favorites.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Medium Brown. 

Perfect for filling my brows in, as I feel that they can be pretty sparse in the front and end. I have the tendency to over draw them and they end up looking like caterpillars on my head.

Not cool.

But! With a light hand and the right amount, it’ll look pretty natural and normal.

Available here.

Anastasia Brow Pen in Universal Light. 

I have natural dark hair, so this doesn’t work as well. However, I got it in a set off eBay so I’m just trying to work it.

It is a felt tip marker and is really easy for application! If I had it in universal deep, it’d be fighting a spot with the Maybelline Define-A-Brow.

Available here.

Maybelline Cover Stick Waterproof Concealer in Light Beige.

For those days where I don’t have enough sleep or when the hormones start kicking in and gives me zits, this is super handy.

It doesn’t crease as well so more brownie points is given, plus it is waterproof, perfect for the ridiculously humid weather in Singapore.

Available here.

Urban Decay Blush in Fetish. 

I think it’s discontinued because I can’t find it on their website.

It’s a pretty purple mauve that’s amazing for Christmas! It gives me a very festive feel.

It is really pigmented. 2 dips of a brush into it and a hard tap is enough already.

I won’t recommend swirling your brush around, just because it’s pretty small and it’ll be too much.

Urban Decay Lip Stain in Envious. 

This too, is discontinued and it came in the set, same as the one together with the Anastasia brow pen.

I’m glad to have gotten the 2 shades available (Greedy as well.) before they were discontinued.

This is a pretty “my lips but better (MLBB)” shade with a pink tone to it.

I’ve been using this quite frequently and it stains (duh) so it’s easy for me because I don’t have to re-apply.

However the downside is the taste. Kinda bitter.

Urban Decay Lipstick in Jilted. 

Sadly, another discontinued one! This came in the same set and I love this lipstick.

It’s super creamy, smooth and pigmented. However I don’t use such a dark shade everyday so I’m figuring out when or how to make this wearable.

Perfect for those cool, grungy Instagram shots.

Speaking of Instagram, y’all should follow me @ WhimsicalMess!

Alright, that’s all I have for my current Christmas / Festive favorites. Hope you’ve enjoyed the post and here’s to me rushing to finish the rest of vlogmas.

How To : Tumblr Girl Makeup

Tumblr girls are pretty popular recently (or maybe it’s just me) and I thought I’d do a post about how to look like them!

I was wondering if this increased the number of girls who want to be on tumblr now.

*

There are 2 types of tumblr girls. The grunge ones, and the “natural beauty” ones.

 

I’m using quotation marks because I feel like I might be praising them too much of I really say that they have natural beauty. I’m not saying that they aren’t pretty though!

MAKEUP. 

I’m going to try to re-create the “natural beauty” version.

Tumblr girls have bright eyes, perfect matte skin and natural lip color.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup. (Click here.)

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup. (Click here.)

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. (Click here.)

Unlike the CoverGirl foundation, the rest give a dewy finish, but this can be mattified with powder! All of the foundations mentioned are amazing. However I feel as though that all tumblr girls use the CoverGirl one.

L’Oreal True Match Powder. (Click here.)

CoverGirl Professional Loose Powder. (Click here.)

e.l.f Studio Loose Powder with SPF 45. (Click here.)

It’s important to use powder especially if you tend to get oily. Tumblr girls seem to have perfect flawless skin, so it isn’t pretty when you get all oily!

Those girls have pretty defined and full eyebrows. So it’s very important to fill them in!

Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil. (Click here.)

Milani Easy Brow Automatic Pencil. (Click here.)

You’ll have to fill in your brows well with no “empty” spots and a nice arch. Not as strong as Demi’s, but better than the average brow.

You can get away with no eyeshadow because you’re going for the natural look, so a full blown smokey eye wouldn’t be needed.

However if you feel uncomfortable about it, you can use a light colored eyeshadow on your lids and a darker color in the crease for more definition.

Remember, neutral colors!

Just any neutral colors that aren’t too dark will do fine.

Almost every girl has eyeliner. Winged or whatever, it’s still pretty noticeable.

Maybelline EyeStudio Gel Eyeliner. (Click here.)

This is great for those who want a winged liner, but still an overall great eyeliner for any type you like.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eyeliner. (Click here.)

L’Oreal Infallible Super Slim Liner. (Click here.)

I feel as though gel and liquid eyeliners are amazing for a winged effect, and a pencil/felt tip eyeliner is perfect for a thick line / a normal thin line to make your eyes seem bigger.

They have really long eyelashes!

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara. (Click here.)

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara. (Click here.)

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Flasies Flared Mascara. (Click here.)

I feel as though Maybelline does really amazing mascaras.

Lashes are long and thick, so if your mascara only does one of them, feel free to layer on another mascara.

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara. (Click here.)

CoverGirl Flamed Out Mascara. (Click here.)

L’Oreal Voluminous Power Volume Mascara. (Click here.)

Maybelline The MegaPlush Mascara. (Click here.)

Some of them have that healthy glow, so if you don’t have those pink cheeks, use blush!

Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Flushed. (Click here.)

Cream blushes give a much more natural finish.

NYX Rouge Cream Blush. (Click here.)

These 3 colors seem to give that healthy pink glow.

Some girls have a tanned / sun kissed look, so if you prefer that, use a bronzer!

Rimmel Natural Bronzer. (Click here.)

Rimmel Sun Shimmer Shimmering Maxi Bronzer. (Click here.)

Maybelline Fit Me! Bronzer. (Click here.)

Apply the bronzer all over the apples of your cheek, your temples and jaw line. This will give an illusion that you’ve been spending time in the sun and give you a nice healthy, sporty look.

Feel free to layer on a blush if you like.

Their lip colors are either nude / a bright pop of color.

Colors are Sugar Frosting, Creamsicle and Strawberry Shortcake respectively.

Alright! That’s all for Part 1. Stay tuned for Part 2 where it’ll be about fashion + other stuff!

EXCITED!

I was on instagram today and I saw that Urban Decay is coming out with Naked 3. 

I’m so excited! The colors are amazing and I love how it’s rose-hued. It’s the kind of palette that should be in every makeup bag as it’s suitable for a day to night transformation.

Gorgeous! It’s definitely getting in my Christmas wishlist. Or even for my birthday.

Wishlist (2) {lip products}

Before I begin, follow me on Instagram! Yes I have a newly created account and it’s @snickeriggles. Help me get the word out about my blog out. Thank you lovelies!

with all the lip products I am looking for, I can safely say that I am mad.

A set of all tints, how adorable! Benefit Cosmetics has to be one of my favorite “high-end” makeup. Their packaging and the name of their products has already won me over by 80%. Then with the stuff they came out? 100% sold.

I’ve never actually heard of this product, but heard of “Buxom” from essiebutton. Seems pretty cool for a lip stain. A little like the Revlon kissable balm stain, I must say.

THIS. I have heard it from essiebutton (my favorite-est beauty vlogger ever.) and it looked so good! I will get it one day. It’s so sheer and cute and elegant at the same time.

I have never heard of this, but it looks so quirky (in a good way of course) the pink is a really nice opague one and looks so smooth. Looks like liquid cotton candy.

Soap and Glory! Their packaging is comparable to Benefit’s, just more provocative. It’s so girly and sexy and cheeky! I wish I had their body product set or something, seen it quite a few times but never actually gotten it.

I always thought Stila were mainly eyeshadows, but it’s a pleasant surprise to find this. With tint, and balm, I was really interested.

Kat Von D lipstick! I never ever knew she had a makeup line, and I’m absolutely interested in it right now. The colors are really dark / neutral / red, perfect for statement lips or to enhance the eye makeup. Plus the packaging is really sleek and classy, while infusing the rock edge.

Yves Saint Laurent again! And I heard it from Estée, again. I love how sheer the swatch I saw on her video was, I’m not a fan of “thick” lipsticks. Plus the packaging is really really classy.

I know this isn’t a lip product, but I had to add it in since I saw it in Estée’s get ready with me video and wazowska , the coverage was amazing and gave a really natural finish. It was just so awesome, I can’t even describe it.

So hey, if you ever thought about what to get for me, you have a rough idea. Haha!
