Collective Haul 2014 ❤


Hey friends, 

I apologise again for lacking on making videos and posting blogposts on this blog. However, to make up for all the long wait, I subjected a new video and its a collective haul of all the makeup and beauty necessities I have accumulated during these past few months. They are a mixture of high-end to drugstore cosmetics and have exceeded my expectations, well most of them. I absolutely adored these products and I definitely recommend all of it. Some may be over-priced but, you never know.. Christmas is just round the corner ;) 




Considering how long this video is, I have done my best to shorten it and ensured that I wouldn't rumble on too much. Still though, I thank you for spending your time watching it and now you're on my blog reading this :) It makes me smile. 
The swatches and more in-depth review of such products will most certainly happen as I do not want to disappoint you all. It would be a great pleasure to share my experience and opinions of these cosmetics stated on my Youtube video.

Becca Ombre Nudes Eye Palette Review & Swatches ❤

Hi guys, I'm here to review for you today the Becca Ombre Nudes Eye Palette. I have seen this palette being raved about ever since it came out which is not so long ago. I ordered it from Space NK for quite a high price however, it was worth it. Below are pictures displaying the pigmentation, true shades and the quality of the product swatches without and with a primer. This Becca Eye Palette contains 5 eyeshadows that contains mostly cool toned shades of brown except eyeshadow (1) which is a light dusty peach shade. I apologise If I haven't took an image of the back of the palette but it doesn't say much, just the number of the shades without names. 


Without Flash.

---------------------------------
Whole review of the product:

Packaging: The packaging comes in a dark brown/Sepia colour box with Becca printed on the side. Just like any regular box packaging, it includes the name of the palette and description on the back saying, "Create natural depth and luminous highlight with velvety soft, tone-on-tone ombre nudes. Skin-authentic shades with a range of contrasting undertones enhance and illuminate the eye area for a wide-eyed effect, Green Coffee Oil helps awaken the eyes and smooth the lids, while a built-in priming effect extends the wear of your shadows. These versatile neutrals may be used to create a range of looks, from subtle to bold". The main packaging of the product has a sleek and glossy cover with a wide mirror inside covered with a plastic so that it wouldn't get dirt on it. It also contains 5 eyeshadows size compared  with the MAC single eyeshadows. The way to lock the product and open is a clip-in access and it is very easy and convenient to carry in your makeup bag.
Price:
Pigmentation: If the eyeshadows are applied without a primer, it comes off looking like a light shadow however it works best with a primer. One of the eyeshadows (1), when being built for more clarity became quite powdery and can get messy. In contrast with this, the other dark eyeshadows are fine. They do cling onto hairs hence the picture above.
Fragrance: No fragrance
Texture: Buttery, powdery & good quality.
Multi-uses: Except for its main purpose of eyeshadows, this product can be used to create natural contour shadows in your face. depending on skin tone. The eyeshadow (1) and (2) can be used for light skin tones, (2, 3, 4) for tan-mid dark skin tones and (4,5) for dark-ebony dark skin tones.
Audience/Preferable for: Any one
Price: £34.00
Rate: 8/10
Delivery Experience: When I first ordered this product, it was out of stock everywhere. After a week, I found it available in stock at the Space NK website. I had to splurge myself into getting the palette as quickly as possible since it runs out quite quickly. Successfully, getting myself one; it is set to be delivered at my home by Tuesday 30th. I was excited because when the product arrived they provided exactly what estimated time they were going to be delivering the products as well as the name of the delivery guy. Whilst I was opening the package, I found  the eyeshadow that I bought from Laura Mercier but the palette was not there. I became quite disappointed so I rang customer service and told them of what my enquiry is about and they have told me that they do not know when they are going to be delivering the next stock of this product so thus, I waited because it was out of stock again on the website. The day after, I recieved an email explaining that I have got a delivery soon set up to arrive on Thursday, 2nd of October from Space NK. After so, I have received my product.
Delivery Rate: 6/10

 Website Bought: http://uk.spacenk.com/ombre-nude-eye-palette/MUK200013696.html
I am not paid to do this review neither was I sponsored by this product. All opinions are mine.

 I hope you enjoyed this blog post,

Mint Touch of Summer Eye Makeup Tutorial ❤




As mentioned in the previous post, I do not want to fail in uploading this eye makeup look as well as an expanded list of directions on how I used the products to achieve such beautiful yet simple eye makeup look. It is certainly wearable and attractive to wear for this season. Also, it is perfect with people who have darker eyes like me.

 If you haven't seen my face makeup routine yet, I suggest you watch that first If you want to know more about what I used and how I used such product to gain a flawless canvas.

 As a note, before I mention all the things relating with this eye make-up look, you will notice from my previous video that I applied the Max Factor CC Corrector on my lids to act as my base because I do have oily eye lids.



Products used to achieve this mint summer look (haha) :

 Eyebrows:
Probably, my preferred technique on how I fill out my brows to make it look fuller and natural. Although, I do use more product than I am supposed to.. It still comes out looking softer however, you need to at least do a little blending with your spooly.

Eyes:
A good trick to make your eyelashes look fuller is by tight lining your upper rim of your eyelids with a dark eyeliner, whether it is black or grey. I chose this eyeliner since I don't really like using too much of a black eyeliner because it gives the effect of smaller looking eyes. And you know, as an asian; it is all about accentuating your eyes. Small eyes < Bigger eyes.
 OMG, this eyeshadow pencil is bombdiginty! While, I was strolling past the makeup section in Superdrug. There newly eyeshadow pencil range that was just recently released caught my attention not just because of how inexpensive they were but because the colours were pretty and very wearable. Anyways, I applied this eyeshadow pencil all over my lid to act as another base but this time, it will help warm up the eyeshadow I will be patting on top of it. Simples.
This grey eyeshadow got a tint of red to it therefore would look great on brows too! However, for this look; I am just patting this eyeshadow on to my lids again. After so, the key here for this makeup look is blending therefore, blend away. We do not want harshness in any of our looks unless you like it that way. 
Although, this is a powder bronzer, It looks astonishing on the crease area of our eyelids. I'm guessing, If you watched the video; you'll see the full effect it gives. Smokey, right?. Don't forget to blend again. 
Ahh! Couldn't have enough of this eyeliner. It is absolutely gorgeous especially on the eyes. Apply this on your water line and let it set for a good 2-3 seconds then after go to the next step ;) 
Yes, I know. We already got an eyeliner on our waterline but what's better than applying another shade of colour? the previous eyeliner was a metallic turquoise colour but I wanted more of a combat/royal blue tint too. So why not? And a good tip for you too, apply this on or add several more coats and you'll find your eyeliner staying on your waterline for hours and hours. I dragged the eyeliner quite high a bit so that it will blend softly with the tight line liner. 
This is one of my favourite black liquid liner in the drugstores. It lasts for hours with a bit of tweaking here and there. Apply this product on to your eyelids near your eyelashes bearing in mind that we will be applying lashes therefore you can apply it a lot thicker if you want or as a starting point to help/guide you whilst applying your lashes.
This was just a random pick up, but I decided why not. Experimenting using this eyeliner product with this eye look. And it still looks fab. I add a dab of this on the centre of my eyelids and blend it a little bit since It does dry up quite quickly. Further into it, I applied a little bit on the bottom lash line, not too extravagant but enough to add a little more shimmer. Beautiful, isn't it? 
I applied this mascara just on the bottom lashes to ensure I do not disturb the magic under that area of the eyes. 
What completes the look? Obviously, lashes! I'm not much of a lashes kind of person but I know what completes a makeup look and it is to add this. I chose quite natural ones, since those big flared out lashes makes my eyes look smaller even though, they are so glam. I'm so jealous of you, If you suit wearing big beautiful fake lashes. 
Before I forgot, I added this highlighter on my inner eyelid to make my eyes pop! This yellow toned highlighter compliments the blue/mint colour in our waterline. It makes it look so tropical.
