MakeUp Tutorial – Mossy Greens

BEAUTY
September 26 2009

After posting the Beauty Babble ~ MK Signature Eye Primer Video, I got quite a few comments and messages from people saying they really liked my make up look.   So, I re-created it today. It is a very rich mossy green look that can be easily emulated, just find some greens you have and play around with them.   It’s a great look for Autumn. 🙂     Here’s a list of products i used: Eyes Too Faced Shadow Insurance MAC e/s in Humid Barry M Dazzle Dust 79 L’Oreal Super Liner Maybelline Colossal Mascara Gosh eye kohl in Black Ink… Read More »

Kim Kardashian likes Goldmine too!

BEAUTY, Celeb Make-up and Style Inspiration
September 21 2009

I came across this photo of Kimmie on her website and was instantly inspired to recreate the look.  She writes on her website: Post Title ~ Gold Shadows are heavenly I am loving gold eye shadow right now! I think it can be perfect for the day time and then you can add some black eye liner and a darker shadow in the crease of the eye for a night time look. MAC has a great variety of golds! Goldmine eyeshadow is a true-gold color. It’s shimmery and frosty and everything I think gold should be… After reading that and seeing… Read More »

Edit: 3 days later…chip chip chippidy chip! Oh Em Gee! I love this nail varnish! It’s the Maybelline Forever Strong in Midngiht blue! More Blue! hehe Base Coat & Top Coat ~ Wet’n’Wild One Coat of midnight blue  I find that this colour is not as rude as black nail varnish. It is still as edgy, but with a bit more class, i think. Apart from the strikingly beautiful colour, the texture is also very brilliant! I was able to apply it very easily, no mess no fuss. It does say on the packaging that it lasts up to 7… Read More »

BEAUTY
August 18 2009

Those who know me, or have heard my rants about why my sister was blessed with the best lashes in the world, and not me, know I have tried almost every mascara under the sky…(I mean except for those ridiculously priced ones. Hey, I’m not rich…yet! ;)) …and so far I have found only a few that do it for my sad excuse of lashes! So i’m going to share these fab finds with you! I use all of them interchangebly (Whichever I grab first) and I don’t have an explicit fave out of the bunch, they all just seem… Read More »

MakeUp Tutorial – My Qipao Inspired Look

BEAUTY
August 4 2009

Hey everyone! I felt like i needed to do a makeup tutorial because it’s been ages since i did one. I got inspiration from my Qipao, a traditional Chinese dress (Pronounced Chee-Pow). What serves as a worthy testament to the beauty of the Qipao is, it does not require the wearer to pep up the look with accessories like scarves and belts. It’s designed to show off the natural softness of the female form. I love learning about different cultures and traditions. With a world so big, there is always something to discover! Hopefully you will enjoy the tutorial and… Read More »
