Quick & Easy Make Up for Glasses [look]

TPTB decided to gift me with nearsightedness, therefore I have been a proud glass wearer since I was 10. In the last few years I started to favor contact lenses over glasses, but some days I don't feel like going through the hassle with my lenses and this is one of my favorite make up for the day I decide to wear my glasses!

Products:
- Mac Eye Shadow in Brulè and Omega
- Mac Rich Ground gel liner
- Kiko Super Color Mascara in 04

Day 88. Make Up For Ever Lip Line Perfector [review]

I am always exasperated about my lips, very much as I am exasperated by my eyebrows. My lips are kind of thin and shapeless, undefined. I am very careful to use a liner with my lipstick, because otherwise I look I smudged my lipstick.

A colorful lipliner though defines the lips a bit too strongly in my opinion, no matter how close in color is to the actual lipstick. Ant it also looks a bit too '80s for me.

So I searched long and hard for a solution, and I found it in the product I am reviewing today: the MUFE Lip Line Perfector.

Day 78. Boots Natural Fan False Lashes [Review & Look]

I am false lash enthusiast, even though I am not proficient at applying them. One of the problem I have is that the lashes, no matter how many "knots" I cut off, always seem to catch on my lid and thus annoying me for the rest of the time I have them on.
My friend G. gave me these lashes as a present a few months ago and I finally got around to try them!

Day 77. My experience at the Dermalogica counter

Just a month ago I was traveling back home from London. My sister B., my friend S. and I flew back home from Gatwick airport, which is completely duty free and has amazing brands and stores.

While I was waiting for my flight I stopped by the new Dermalogica counter because I wanted to pick up the famed Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant and see if they had any day cream since I had just finished my Dr. Hauschka treatment.

Stopping at the Dermalogica counter was a very good decision on my part and revealed to be a fantastic consumer experience!

Day 75. Sleek Showstoppers and Lagoon palettes in action [look]

My sister B. asked me to do her make up today, so I did a eye-focused look using a few shades from the SleekMakeUP iDivine Showstoppers palette and the iDivine Lagoon palette I reviewed yesterday and the day before that.

B. is not overly fond of colorful makeup so I tried to keep this into account when I was doing her makeup.

Day 72. Urban Decay Naked Basics palette [review & swatches]

A couple of days ago, during moment of weakness and enabled by my friend C., I bought the Urban Decay Naked Basics. I am a Urban Decay fan, truly, and I had resisted the temptation this palette posed for a long while. But now it's in my grubby little hands and I am so so happy, even though someone (my friend G., cough cough) may say I am biased and the palette is not very convincing, I find myself adoring it.
Without further ado, here's my review!

Day 71. Neutral look with Maybelline Pink Gold Color Tattoo and Mac Cork Eyeshadow

Quick post today with a neutral day look I did using my Maybelline Pink Gold Color Tattoo (review here) and Mac Cork eyeshadow.

First, I primed my eyelids using Urban Decay Primer Potion. Using a blending brush I applied Mac Cork in and over the crease of my eyes, blending toward my brow bone. On my lid, I patted one layer of Maybelline Pink Gold color Tattoo, just to give a bit of brightness to my eyes.
I lined my upper lash line with my MUFE Aqua Black gel liner, using my #760 Bdellium liner brush. I also pressed into my lower lash line a little bit liner. I curled my lashes and applied my Maybelline Feather Look Volum Express mascara. Done!
I paired this eye look with Mac Plumful on my lips and a bit of my Artdeco blush, to keep everything very natural.
