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

I'm shaking as I type this.  After so many years I haven't update my blog, but i feel like now i need it more than ever.  Writing use to be my therapy.  so. my husband died. on 22-11-22 to be exact.  85 days ago  there. i say it.  you won't believe how much courage i've gathered to type this post here. the very blog that witness our journey. from a hopeless teenager, to finally got married, and eventually became parents of two adorable kids. too bad i didn't get a chance to update it more. however i frequently updated my twitter & instagram. so there are traces of our journey there as well.  how do i feel? PAIN. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. A PAIN THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE My heart so tattered that there's nothing more to be torn. He died a sudden death. I won't go into details, at least not now. Our 20 years journey ended abrubtly. there goes our future hopes and dreams. __________________ I begin to questioning the existence of God. We've lead a good life. w...

our day has come

I choose you for life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care through the pressures of the present and the uncertainties of the future. I promise to be faithful to you  I promise to love you, to commit to you, and support you. I pledge to respect your unique talents and abilities,  to lend you strength for all of your dreams. You have shown me what love feels like and for that I thank you. You are everything I need and at this moment I know all of my prayers have been answered and that all of my dreams have come true. I praise God for you, for all your love and constant friendship. I know that our love is heaven sent  and I promise to be here for ever and always. From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. As I have given you my hand to hold, I give you my life to keep.  Intan Juliana 17112012

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...
