make up haul!



Since my sister learned to be a Make Up Artist (MUA), I became more obsessed with this beauty world. When I set my feet on Sephora, it felt like heaven on earth. But of course it's much different with On Pedder. 
At On Pedder, I think I've died and gone to shoes heaven. All of my dream shoes were there! From Louboutin's Daffodil to Givenchy's wedges to Valentino's bow pumps. Ahhh.... I wish I could take them all home... :(

BTW.. This is not a post about shoes yet I still can't get rid my mind off of it! -.-

So... Months ago one of my friend was buzzing around the "Naked Palette" by Urban Decay. I've read in several beauty blogs written the palette must be one's holy grail cos it contained neutral colors that can be worn everyday and well, night. Problem was, UD is not available in Indonesia so I didn't buy it even though I was tempted. 
When I visit Sephora weeks ago in Singapore, I found that Naked palette was really beautiful. I tried a few swatches on my hand and I must say, it was a love for the first sight. Exactly the color that I needed. I don't like too much bright colors in my eyes cos it doesn't match with my skin tone. Beside, I don't like to go to club or else. I can't imagine wearing a bright color in my eyes on my date. My bf will literally scream his throat out. LOL. 
Anyway, because of high demands on this product, Sephora only allows one palette per customer. Without any second thought, I bought it. When I got home, I tried them on and LOVED it. Here's the lovely palette (all pictures courtesy of Temptalia)

are you ready to get N A K E D ?


virgin - sin - naked - sidecar (use it as highlight color, lower your eyebrows)


buck - half baked - smog - darkhorse (I use it as my primary color)


toasted - hustle - creep - gunmetal (I use it as secondary color, to make my eyes pop out)


I'm afraid to showing these following images cos I'm far far away from perfect. But this is my first try of Naked Palette so hopefully there will be another good "Face of The Day" (FOTD) photos.




I blend three colors in my eyes (no sign of eyeliner)



bad photo, I know! *sigh




this was how I look in total


I also bought NARS duo (blush and bronzer) in Orgasm and Laguna and truly loved it! 
The bronzer just what I expected, contouring my face perfectly and add a bit of shimmer.Loving the blush also cos the color is match with my skin tone and I love combining both of them to get the look that I've always wanted: glowing tan look.

Other than that, I only bought some lipsticks, lipgloss, and lipbalm (trust me Burt's Bees is the best lipbalm out there, better than Kiehl's and L'Occitane)
Oh how I wish Sephora open its store in Indonesia. I love spending my time there, if only I didn't bring Kenrick along with me, I think my sister and I could be there all day long. LOL 

Please be nice with my terrible photos and make up skill, cos I'm still a newbie.. Of course, I still have to practice more in order to achieve the stage of perfection. But I guess my make up skill is more than enough for date night or even girls night out. There are still many many more to learn and sadly, to buy all make up appliances. Some says we have to invest in good brush, but it can empty our wallet right away cos one good quality brush can cost $50 and up! Insane. 

But for now, I'm just enjoy beautifying myself with what I have and make the most of it :)

fave look :D

tied the knot

The Groom with all the best-men Happy boy happy couple current mood : *sigh* Finally, after the very long waiting and preparation since LAST YE AR week, my brother tied the knot with girl of his dream. They held a morning ceremony at Cathedral Church and then thrown a party later that night at Grand Eastern. I was having a blast, yet exhausted, and starved and weary and all! Since I didn't catch enough time to eat something, and were busy buzzing around the ballroom, cos my friends were all there and I've some duties to do. Well, now the party's over and it's time to "renew" the life. Cos life will never be the same. Brother, sister, I hope your love will last forever, no more assault, no more violence, just PEACE. Don't ever lean on to someone else, cos since yesterday, two became ONE. Just like the priest said, you both have to received each other the way they are, and blend each personality as one. Married life isn't going to be easy (LIKE I KNOW.L...

anger & depression

Have you ever feel that you're the dumbest, stupidest person on earth? I did some terrible mistakes most of my life, feel like I can do nothing right.. I always wrong. Although I always tell everyone my slogan " absolutely no regrets ". But actually, there are several things that I wish I didn't do. I wish I can study more, I wish I exercise more, I wish I'm not a forgetful girl and can remember every single thing that ever happened in my life, I wish I wish I wish.. Many things I've missed in my whole life. I've messed it up and now I regret it. FFS, please forget those trashy feeling!!! back to reality.......... I've two new best-friends right now. It called "Anger" and "Depression". This "anger" and "depression" always track me down nowadays. Especially when I near my deadline, whether it's essay or Pre-Order on my OL shop. It's just... Frustrating. Sometimes I thought, can I do this alone? But than my...
