Window Shopping Wants.

One of those days, where I have nothing much to do on the computer and I find myself on Sephora’s website.

Here are some of the stuff that I’m eyeing on and that might perhaps be an option for you when you do some Sephora shopping!

Look at the gorgeous items. 

Urban Decay Naked 3. 

I have never lusted for Naked 1 & 2, but the thought of this palette being rose-hued just blew my mind. I need it!

YSL Touche Eclat. 

Highly raved and luxurious packaging. I’ve always wanted to try one of these but the price tag has deterred me. Absolutely in love with the packaging and I’m aware that some drugstore brands have tried making a “dupe” or “knockoff” of this. But of course, nothing can beat the feeling of using the real deal.

NARSissist Cheek Kit.

I’m a fan of NARS, (though I only own the Orgasm blush. meh.) so the thought of having a cheek kit with the amazing quality is quite exciting. Perfect for traveling.

Eve Lom Rescue Mask.

I managed to get a sample of this mask and I must say that it works wonders. Perfect for those days before a big event (or even on the day itself) and you want to look your best. I need to get my hands on this soon, there’s so many bumps on my face and it’s frustrating.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil.

I have one in the shade Rockstar and I think that it’s a great alternative to the usual black or blue. It’s so creamy and smooth, has to be my favorite eyeliner at the moment. Definitely want to own more!

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. 

Another highly raved product, I’m amazed by the coverage it gives. Also, it’s suitable to be applied all over the face, for all kinds of imperfections, so I’m eyeing on them.

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy. 

Just… The packaging. It’s orgasmic and absolutely luxurious. Not to mention it has been raved by essiebutton and I love her taste. I can’t wait to get my hands (and lips) on this baby.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine. 

I’m not sure if I’m going through a “phase”, but I have been rather interested in dark lips lately. Maybe it’s the grungy mode that I’m starting to get into, but I’m real digging dark lips.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. 

I’ve seen Tanya Burr talk about this and I’m pretty attracted by the coverage and glow that it gives. Very natural and fresh! Sadly, it’s about $82 (including the pump) over here. I might get one at the end of the year when I go to the US.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain.

By now… You can probably tell my obsession with YSL. From their perfumes to bags, I’ve quite fancied them. And now that I’ve found out about their makeup brand, amazing. The packaging, quality and pigmentation are fantastic and I can’t wait to own more.

Dior Lip Glow. 

Apparently this changes according to your body’s temperature and gives an amazing shade of pink that is “your lips, but better”. Plus it’s a lip balm, so I won’t feel that I’m wearing anything too over the top.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush. 

The packaging’s so sleek and cool, plus I’ve heard quite a few positive reviews about it. I like the marbleized effect of the blush and I don’t think it’s sold where I am so… Sad face! But it’s a good thing as well, or else it’ll add up to my “makeup bill”

Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel. 

I feel that this is a great option when you’re in a rush as all you have to do is run this through your brows. I’m pretty sure you can do a DIY one, but since Anastasia is a professional brand, it should be pretty good.

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner. 

I’ve seen Ingrid (missglamorazzi) use this and I like how fine the tip is. It’ll give the nicest and most precise wings, in my opinion. The downside is that it’s waterproof. Not a fan of using a makeup remover.

Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil. 

I’ve seen Estee use this and I like how the pencil is in that shape, makes it easier for filling the brows! Plus it seems really quick too.

Diorshow Iconic Mascara. 

I love how the brush looks and of course, I trust Dior makeup. Not a fan of the packaging though, the little patterns in the background isn’t the most flattering thing ever.

Alright! That’s all I have for today and I hope you’ve enjoyed this post, and perhaps interested in getting a couple of items that I’ve featured.

Stay tuned for my next post, where it’ll be a sequel to the how to be a tumblr girl.

New Year’s Makeup!

For New Year’s, I think we should go pretty extravagant because it’s the start of a new year and we would want to look extra special.

My ideal New Year’s look would be glitter, gold and bold!

Read on to find out what products I recommend.

{ PRIMER }

Benefit The Porefessional.

 It is quite important to use a primer because you want your makeup to stay on your skin without sliding anywhere while you’re partayyying through the night!

{ FOUNDATION }

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + 

CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup.

If you’re ordering off the drugstore website, do check out CoverGirl’s website for the shade choices as drugstore.com doesn’t have quite an accurate color comparison.

{ EYEBROWS }

It’s time to go strong for this look, but not overly thick. Strong defined ones are the best, not caterpillar like.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow. 

I feel that pencil is really easy and quick, but you want a more natural look, you can try a powder instead.

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo. 

Their page comes along with advises on which shade to get!

{ EYESHADOW }

Nars Eyeshadow Primer.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Silver Strike.

This as a base will give a very nice dimension and pop to the eyes when you use your normal eyeshadow over it. Just apply it all over the lids.

Revlon ColorStay Smoky Eyeshadow Stick in Flare.

Use the lighter color all over the lid and the darker one in the crease. Feel free to build up the intensity but remember to blend well to reduce any harsh lines!

{ EYELINER }

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner.

We’re going for a winged effect!

{ MASCARA }

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies.

Curl your eyelashes and apply a few coats of it!

{ CHEEKS }

Nars Powder Blush in Sin.

This gives an amazing glow and I feel that it complements the eyes very well.

{ LIPS }

Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain in Mauve Pigmente.

This will neutralise the whole look as the eyes were pretty smokey already and it’d be too much to have a bright lip.

Finish everything off with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray which will allow your makeup to last throughout the entire party night.

Alright! That’s all I have for today and I hope you enjoy your New Years and I hope this has given you some ideas on what to use for your makeup!

Day to Night makeup.

Since not all of us have the luxury of time, here are some tips to how you can transform your daytime look to night!

– Try to get natural lighting as that’s the best and fluorescent lightings tend to alter the real color on your face and might cause some mistakes here and there.

-Use some eyedrops if your eye is red (especially from sitting in front of the computer) , it’ll reduce redness and make you look fresh!

– Use a brightening concealer, such as the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat to minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Apply it between the brows to highlight and your forehead and apply it on dark circles to make you appear more awake.

– You don’t need to have another layer of foundation, a concealer will work good for imperfections and visible veins.

– Freshen your face by spraying a water spray (such as Evian Mineral Water Spray) and wait for it to dry before applying a light thin layer of loose powder. Doing away without the spray will make you appear cakey.

– Use a darker and more intense colored lipstick for the night. Dark reds and plums will look great! If you’re not comfortable with the intensity, apply a layer, pat your lips with tissue.

– Add some shimmer to your eyelids and blend it till it’s sheer. Shimmer on the browbone and the centre of the lips over lipstick will look good as well.

– Line your eyes with a dark eyeliner and apply a thin layer of eyeshadow on it so it can last through the night.

– Spray your favorite sultry and sexy scent, it’ll bring you out of working mode!

Alright! That’s all I have for today and it’s easier if you have all the products in a makeup bag so it’d be convenient for your transformation.

Stay tuned for the next post!

(Dream) Shopping!

Ever had one of those afternoons where you’re just sitting in front of the computer and just scrolling through Sephora, Forever 21, Cherry Culture or Pacsun?

Yeah, I’m in one of those afternoons. Then I wondered, What’s the bill that I’ll rack up if I shopped at “high end” places like how I would if I were at a dollar store.

Wow. 

I went pretty crazy here.

Sometimes I wish I was a teenage girl in a rich family living in L.A.

But oh well, I’m happy with the family I have!

YSL Cream Blush? Hell yeah. The packaging and color, l-o-v-e.

YSL Touche Eclat, W-A-N-T.

Stila, Benefit, YSL and Nars are my current favorite brands.

Those items in the pictures above are the things that I would pick (and really want) if I were to shop at Sephora like how I do at drugstores.

Total bill?

I could actually go on a holiday with that amount of money!

These are the moments in which I wished I never knew about high-end products.

First world problems? Definitely.

Now at drugstore.com :

I love Not Your Mother’s! Just ordered a sea salt spray, can’t wait for it to arrive.

I feel as though the Physicians Formula baked eyeshadows are a knockoff of Chanel’s eyeshadow quads.

Love the maybelline color tattoos.

I never knew about the CoverGirl clump crusher extensions! Sounds so cool, does it mean the mascara’s clump free and would lengthen my lashes?

L’Oreal Visible Lift Blush, never came across that, but it seems pretty promising.

It’s a light rose gold shade and rose gold is always amazing in makeup.

I’m not sure if it’s me, but I feel like I need many shades of the same lipstick.

And peppermint lipgloss? I need it.

I adore everything peppermint and I’m always on the verge of overdosing on candy canes.

I love that berry shade. I don’t know why I have not got my hands on the stain yet though.

Total bill?

^And I had over 40 items!

Pacsun. 

Cute shorts, but I don’t have the legs to wear them, oh well!

Love the middle skirt, it can totally funk up an outfit.

The jacket can give a totally different vibe to an outfit.

It should be a staple in every girl’s closet.

Moto jackets? Yes please.

Yay to midi rings! I remember seeing some from H&M, a pity I didn’t have cash with me at the point in time.

The fox ring is just so adorable.

Total bill?

Which is approximately USD 1079.39

More expensive than my Sephora makeup!

Shocking.

I have now found an excuse to why my wardrobe is still so boring.

But honestly, I really need a revamp. My closest’s boring me out.

Nasty Gal. 

 

The second dress is perfect for a night out with the girls. Not exactly practical for everyday use though, unless you throw on a jacket. 

 

The green bling shoes is perfect for spunking up a plain outfit. 

 

I really need a bag, I only have 2 bags that I use a lot at the moment. 

Both of which are from Crumpler. 

I want something that slings and is big as well. 

 

Total bill? 

 

I find it pretty expensive, since there’s only 14 items. 

But they’re of the higher end brand, so I shouldn’t quite complain. 

This totally inspired me to go on a mad shopping spree to change my closet because I really need new clothes. 

Alright! That’s all I have for today, my eyes are so tired from looking at all the clothes and makeup, shocking. 

Stay tuned for my next post! 

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!

Wishlist

I chanced upon Sephora’s website while searching for makeup and oh my, so many items I wish I owned.

Ahh, the ever raved about Naked palette. 1, 2, or basics, everyone has heard about it. I think this palette is really versatile and can be used for an everyday look. Pretty!

Super sleek! I really like the color and shimmer as it’s really neutral and the glitter gives a bit of a pop for the eye.

Benefit Cosmetics. I cannot quite get over them! Their packaging is super adorable and attractive, fun and playful. Especially this tint, I’ve been wanting it since I saw an ad when I was 11. Yes, 11.

I think this palette can have quite a few uses! The pink can be used as an eyeshadow and blush, the white can be a highlighter.

Yup, another Benefit! An attractive coral pink and leopard prints on the packaging! Not to mention the tropical feel on the cover. Love in a box.

Yves Saint Laurent blush! I think cream blushes give a more natural finish compared to powder blushes, perhaps because of the fact that your skin will absorb the product and settle in nicely, instead of being caked and sitting on your skin.

Heard a lot about Clinique! Especially their moisturizing lotion. This however caught my eye, simply because the BB cream is pink in color. How adorable?

I think I’ll end here for now, there are so many products you’ll get bored. It’ll be up soon, stay tuned!
